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 23 - Party With Claire and Estelle

Chapter 23 – Party With Claire and Estelle

“Gett and Alicia?”

I answered Claire’s call.

“Ah, Claire, the one who taught Dust swordsmanship… And there are two others as well.”

Judging by their light equipment, one of them must be a scout.

The other person is Estelle.

In the game, she’s the party’s healer and is also the king’s youngest child.

She’s caring, so whenever there’s trouble during our journey, she always tries to help, resulting in many events where Estelle assists people.

She’s small in stature but a charming adult woman.

She has long blonde hair, blue eyes, and is wearing a blue nun-like dress.

“Let me introduce you. This is Estelle-sa——Estelle, our healer, and Emma, our scout.”

Claire was about to say Estelle-sama.

Her name, Estelle, is so common that she doesn’t have to use a fake name, but she does hide the fact that she’s a princess.

“Pleased to meet you. It’s our first encounter.”

Estelle bowed gracefully.

“…Nice to meet you.”

The scout also gave a greeting.

“Why are you two here?”

“…Some things happened.”

We talked about how Dust used the Karma Ticket on me and how we left the village.

“I see, so that’s what happened. With that, the first problem is solved.”

“Hmm? The first problem?”

“One of the purposes we came here is to investigate abnormal behavior of monsters.”

Perhaps the monster behaved unnaturally due to the monster summoning debuff status from the Karma Ticket…

“And there’s another problem?”

“We found evidence of an adult dragon.”

“A dragon?!”

Adult dragons are really dangerous!!

They can breathe fire, posing a potential threat of significant damage to the entire party.

The power of their flame is equal to Exfire, and they have fire resistance!

“To be precise, we confirmed traces of powerful flames being emitted.”

“Traces of powerful flames…?”

I started sweating.

That’s me.

Isn’t it my Exfire?

Was it me, was I the one causing the incident?

Alicia looked at me with clear eyes.

I have no choice but to say it.

“Um, well…”

“What’s wrong?”

“That was me.”

“…What are you talking about?”

“That was my Exfire.”

“The advanced magic Exfire?”

“Yes.”

“It’s Exfire, a fire magic with the same power as dragon flame, right?”

“You’re talking about Exfire, the fire magic that has the same power as a dragon’s flame, right?”

“That’s right.”

“However, if you can use Exfire, you would be considered a candidate for the kingdom’s strongest magician.”

“Gett, use Exfire , nyaa~”

“Yes, please step back for a bit.”

While saying that, I distanced myself from everyone.

It’s quicker if they see it for themselves.

“Exfire!”

The tip of my mace glowed, and flames spewed upwards from it.

—————!!!

A burst of air occurred, causing a gust of wind, almost lifting everyone’s skirts.

“W-we get it! Th-That’s enough!”

I love the way Estelle desperately holds down her robe!

As for Claire and Alicia, it was a problem before their skirts flipped, given they were wearing pants and bikinis.

But that sight was also amusing.

After using Exfire, Claire and the others started a meeting.

“All the problems have been solved.”

“Yes, but if we don’t welcome those who can use Exfire into the country, different problems will arise.”

“That’s true, but he also has his own will.”

“And the danger posed by Hero Dust has increased even more.”

“That’s right. It’s quite troublesome.”

“…I’m going to take a bath again, nyaa~”

“Sure.”

Alicia started taking a bath.

The three of them watched Alicia as she entered the outdoor bath.

“Um, we would like to take a bath too.”

“Sure, go ahead and join.”

“…Gett, we want you to stay inside.”

“…I got it.”

“Gett, everyone’s calling for you, nyaa~”

I immediately headed towards the bath.

“C-can I come in with you guys?!”

“T-That’s not it! We want you to raise the temperature of the water.”

“I-I see… I had no chance, huh? Fire!”

I submerged Fire in hot water and returned home.

Can’t I join them in the bath?

But come to think of it, all the party members are present.

And the scout lady is also beautiful.

When Estelle and Claire came out of the bath, they blushed and entered the house.

I felt the charm of everyone who had just come out of the bath.

“What about Emma, the scout?”

“She’s currently taking a bath.”

I guess Emma was there to detect any presence.

“So, what are your plans now, Gett?”

“I was thinking of telling the village tomorrow that Alicia and I are safe, and then go on an adventure.”

“If you’d like, I’d like you to come along on our journey. Just until we get to the Capital is okay.”

In the game’s story, Hero Dust, accompanying Estelle, encounters multiple events in the villages and towns they visit.

And if this reality goes as per the story, Estelle eventually joins the party, and everyone stays together until reaching the Capital with Claire.

A trip with a game party, huh?

It would become a lifetime memory.

“If it’s okay after returning to our village, I’d like to go together. What about you, Alicia?”

“I’m going too, nyaa~”

“Then it’s decided. I’d like to ask Emma to contact your village. What do you think?”

“Please do… But I want to make sure Old Man Zes is okay. Well, knowing him, he’s probably okay though.”

“In that case, I’ll have Emma check on him. We’ll head north to the Capital and inspect the towns and villages.”

——Always help those in trouble.

Old Man Zes’ words came to mind.

That’s right, there are many people in trouble in this country.

There are many quests that can be easily solved with my Exfire.

Let’s help everyone for now.

We discussed and rested for the day.

In the morning, we started moving.

Emma, the scout, had begun a separate mission to relay messages.

We are currently at the southernmost tip of the country.

The Capital is to the north from here, but we’ll solve town and village issues along the way to the Capital.

“I have something to discuss.”

“What is it?”

“I want to form a party.”

“It’s fine for me and everyone else, but Gett, who can use Exfire, will lose experience points.”

By forming a party, EXP will be distributed equally no matter who defeats the monster.

Even if I defeat a lot of monsters, the EXP will still be distributed evenly.

By doing this, everyone’s level can be raised.

In the game, Estelle’s level was quite low when she joined the party.
