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 26 - “Please Let Me Accompany You Until the Day This Life Fades Away.”

Chapter 26 – “Please Let Me Accompany You Until the Day This Life Fades Away.”

When we arrived at the next town, North Town, everyone was looking at the three girls.

“As expected, Gett is getting a lot of attention.”

“Huh? No, you got it wrong! It’s because you three are too beautiful!”

“I’m just a swordsman. I have nothing to do with sex appeal.”

“I’m just a villager. Ordinary, nyaa~”

“I’m just a healer, far from sexy.”

“You don’t understand! Every single one of you is so attractive!”

“Well then, if one of us said she wanted to marry Gett, would he accept?” 

“If it’s you three, anyone would accept! That’s how beautiful you all are.”

“I-I see. Come on, let’s gather some information.”

Estelle’s face turned red.

Huh? That’s a surprising reaction. I didn’t think she’d reach like that.

I pretended not to notice Estelle blushing and we started gathering information.

But I didn’t gather any particularly useful information.

“Come to think of it, there used to be an orc encampment nearby. But suddenly, the camp was burned down, and the orcs disappeared.”

The three girls looked at me.

That was me, but I don’t want to say I did it.

It’s hard to say when you’re being looked at like that.

“If it’s Exfire, it can burn down a camp, nyaa~” 

“Hold on a second! I learned Exfire when I defeated Gills!”

“Then, if you use continuous Fire, it would be possible to burn down a camp made of wood.”

“There’s also the possibility the orcs accidentally self-destructed.”

“But then, it’s strange that the orcs disappeared. Even if the camp was burnt down, the orcs would survive.”

“Gett’s Fire could wipe them all out.”

“Even if Gett didn’t use Exfire, Gett can use Fire and High Fire, nyaa~”

The three kept staring at me.

“L-let’s go to the next village. I want to help people in trouble and go to the capital as soon as possible!”

We moved on, but the three of them still doubted me.

It’s hard to say anything when people stare at you like that.

If we go to the next village, we’ll probably find a village troubled by Salamanders.

Salamanders are huge lizards, and the damage they receive from fire attacks is halved.

“Salamanders have been attacking this village.”

See! It’s just like the game.

Immediately, we headed to defeat the Salamanders.

“I might be useful this time.”

“Salamanders have fire resistance, so Gett’s Exfire won’t work well against them.”

“I’ll fight with my daggers too, nyaa!”

“Exfire!”

I burned down a herd of Salamanders.

The attack power of my fire magic has increased to 180% due to my unique skill and the boost from my mace.

Even if 180% damage is reduced to half, Exfire can still deal 90% damage.

We’re still in the mid-stage before the boss.

Being able to use advanced magic without advancing the story feels close to cheating.

I feel like I’m playing a new game, one which I’m much stronger now.

The three girls looked at me with blank stares, but I swiftly cleared the event and we headed to the royal Capital.

“Exfire!”

“Thank you for defeating the goblin horde!”

“Exfire!”

“Thank you!”

“Exfire!”

“Exfire!”

“Exfire!”

I would instantly kill all the monsters we encountered, and finally, we reached the royal Capital.

“I can’t believe it.”

“Hmm?”

“My level has exceeded 25.”

“If we could stay together a little longer, maybe you could even get stronger, maybe to around level 30.”

“Y-yes, but…the average soldier’s level is around 10. At this rate, it’s the same as leeching off Gett.”

“That’s not true.”

“Even if you say so…”

“That’s not true. I got to travel with Alicia, Claire, and Estelle, right? It was really fun. It will be a memory that will last a lifetime.”

In the game’s story, Estelle joins the party and Claire leaves.

But I’m just a mob. That won’t happen in reality.

“What will Gett do now?”

“Go to the dungeon”

“Gett and I will clear dungeons together, nyaa!”

“…I’m staying here today. If possible, I’d like you to stay in the Capital for three days, no, even just one day is fine! Please let me pay for the accommodation!”

Estelle said out loud.

“A-alright.”

“Then we’ll take it easy today, nyaa~”

Estelle guided me and Alicia to the inn and then said, “I have something to do,” and hurriedly disappeared with Claire toward the direction of the royal castle.

“Gett, look! This room is huge, nyaa! There’s also a bath and there’s fruit on the table, nyaa!”

Alicia put the fruit in her mouth and headed for the bath.

Lunch and dinner were luxurious, and Alicia and I were really satisfied.

As the sun set, an inn employee knocked on the door.

“Gett-sama, Alicia-sama, a guest for you has arrived.”

As I headed to the counter, Estelle’s father, the King of this country, entered.

Estelle and the royal guards followed behind him.

“The…King?”

“Umu, I’m the King, and I’m also Estelle’s father. Estelle’s true identity is the princess of this country. I heard that you were Zes’ disciple, so I really wanted to meet you.”

There shouldn’t have been an event like this.

Strange…

“Don’t be nervous. Just speak as you always do.”

The King himself had stopped speaking in a formal manner.

He spoke in a more formal manner in the game, but if he’s doing this much, I can speak normally.

“I learned from Zes’ letter that you withstood his training for over 10 years, defeated the great Bandits’ Chief Gills, and worked hard for the development of the village.”

“……”

“I also heard that you helped Claire and my daughter Estelle without expecting anything in return, that you’ve mastered Exfire, and that you also like Claire and Estelle, is that correct?”

“Well, it’s true that I think the two of them are beautiful. Also, Old Man Zes was nothing but kind. Gills was defeated with everyone’s strength, it was a team effort. And the development of the village was due to everyone working hard.”

“Umu, you don’t cling to your own achievements, that’s truly remarkable! You’re worthy of marrying Estelle and Claire!”

“Is it okay to decide so quickly?”

“It doesn’t matter. To be honest, I don’t want to let a hero who can use Exfire escape from the country. I want to keep Estelle and Claire here to tie you down. Estelle and Claire also think highly of you. There’s no problem at all.”

The king took my hand.

Estelle doesn’t even seem to want to hide her position as a princess, huh?

Isn’t it too soon to reveal it?

“And besides, isn’t Gett risking his life to defeat the dungeon monsters? Even if he defeats the dungeon monsters, no one will thank him. But if no one does it, the dungeon will overflow with monsters! I’m drawn to his pure sense of justice, willing to risk his life to advance into the dungeon without expecting any gratitude from anyone.”

Well, there are parts of me that are driven by malice and evil thoughts.

I keep pushing forward with the intention of getting back at Dust.

A person like that can’t be called a good person.

“I’m not that good of a person.”

“Hmph, let’s leave it at that. Estelle, devote yourself to Gett for life.”

“I understand.”

Estelle looked at me with a smile and nodded.

“Estelle, are you sure? There are dangers ahead.”

“Please let me accompany you until the day this life fades away.”

“Gett, as the king, I won’t offer any compensation or assistance without cause. It’s not permissible to expose my beloved daughter to danger. But I’m not too worried. If it’s you, Gett, you will protect my daughter and fulfill the righteous cause. As for Claire, I want you to wait a little longer. However, if Gett accomplishes something, it will make it easier for me to act. If you get tired of the dungeon, I want you to help everyone in a clear and straightforward manner, that will silence the opposition party.”

Like that, Estelle joined my party and we decided to head to the dungeon the next day.

Things are progressing so smoothly that I don’t feel any real sense of being able to get married.

That’s right, there could also be a momentary lapse in judgment.

Estelle is pure, after all.

I want to get closer with her, but I have to be prepared to be rejected.
