I Reincarnated as the Mob Flame User Destined to Die in the Early Stages of the Game, but When I Cleared the Event Before the Protagonist, the Heroines Followed Me

Chapter 16 – The Bandits From the North

The hero Dust has come back stripped of his clothes.

Dust claimed he was surrounded by over a hundred bandits.

In the game, the village was attacked by 125 bandits along with the chief, Gills. There were many casualties among the villagers, and I’m destined to die at that event.

What caught my attention was what Dust said, “If it wasn’t for my overflowing talent, I would’ve lost everything.”

Is he talking about running away with his life?

Whatever, I’ve decided on this a long time ago. I’ll fight against the bandits!

“Gett, come right away.”

I was called by my father and returned home.

“Gett, all your gear is ready. I want you to change into it.”

Father said earlier that he would make me some equipment.

I believed his words and spent my time training skills without changing my equipment.

My father placed the new equipment in front of me.

Flame Mace: 250 (Fire magic +30%)

Protective Shield: 150 (Slight HP Regeneration)

Red robe: 90

Hybrid boots: 60

Whoaa!!! In particular, the Flame mace and Protective Shield have special effects and are highly effective.

“Thank you, father.”

That was all I could say, but I knew how difficult it was to make equipment with special effects.

I could see that after failing many times and reworking it many times, father finally completed it.

Father smiled with a satisfied look on his face, and I silently changed my equipment.

“It fits perfectly.”

“Because I made it to fit. I would like to say I made this for you myself, but everyone in the village contributed a lot. Thanks to their donations, my skills improved. It’s all thanks to you.”

“Me?”

“Everyone in this village became rich because you protected everyone from monsters. You also bought a lot of items here and there. That’s why everyone made donations. Also, if it wasn’t for my son, I wouldn’t have been able to put so much effort into making these equipment. It also gave me a reason to think about my work.'”

My mother, who had been silent until now, started to speak,

“That’s right, when the harvest was so plentiful that vegetables could no longer be sold, Gett bought everything, right? If there were any surplus fish or meat, Gett would buy everything. Thanks to that, all the villagers became prosperous.”

“I just bought it because it was cheap.”

“Fufu, let’s leave it at that.”

Bam!

When the door was violently opened, a villager said impatiently.

“B-bandits! They’re attacking from the north! There’s even Gills, the bounty hunter!”

They’re finally here, huh? Things are quite different from the game this time.

I’ve become stronger, and I’ve done what I could.

But that’s not all.

Unlike in the game, many villagers have started training under Old Man Zes and have become stronger. Everyone’s combat abilities have improved.

I can’t say it’s enough, but both I and everyone else have become stronger.

“I’ll go.”

“I’ll fight too!”

My mother hugged my father tightly, and then she hugged me.

“Please come back safely. You can run away if you need to. Just don’t die.”

“I won’t push myself too hard.”

“Promise me.”

“Yeah.”

Father and I started walking.

Everyone naturally gathered at church.

Old Man Zes seems to have been a renowned figure who conducted combat training in the capital city in the past.

Although he didn’t say anything himself, I could tell that he was no ordinary person.

Because of that, it was naturally decided that Old Man Zes would take command and repel the bandits.

Old Man Zes is currently covered in full armor and is holding a large mace in both hands.

He looks just like a paladin knight.

Old Man Zes looked at me and said,

“Gett, will you go on the frontline with me? Everyone will use that opportunity to defeat the bandits with bows.”

“I’ll be the only one who goes to the frontline.”

“Ho ho ho, there is no future for a village that survives using young people as shields. I’ll go too.”

“But it’s dangerous.”

“If I don’t step forward, you’ll be in danger. They’re already closing in, there’s no time to argue. They have the audacity to attack openly in broad daylight. They’ve underestimated our village. We’ll make them realize our strength!!”

“””Oooohhhh!!!”””

We turned to face the bandits at the north of the village.

The hero Dust borrowed equipment and disappeared somewhere, saying he was going to fight too.

But it doesn’t matter.

I will overcome my death event!!

Everyone’s morale is high now thanks to Old Man Zes. I feel relieved when he’s next to me.

I had told him to stay behind me, but honestly, I feel assured that Old Man Zes will be fighting beside me.
