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 41 - Team Up [Dust’s POV]

Chapter 41 – Team Up [Dust’s POV]

[Dust’s POV]

I was chased out of the Capital.

I treated my wounds with Heal and took a deep breath.

They won’t even treat my wounds!

I’m a Hero, damnit!

The King is crazy!

The King is insane!

Is the King a moron who can be easily fooled by Gett?

“Those bastards! Let me enter! You guys are being fooled! Gett is fooling you!!”

Soldiers on the battlements aimed their bows.

Then, one of the soldiers screamed.

“We’re not fooled! You’re a liar, Dust! Gett helped our village for free! Gett helped us for free with his tattered equipment! Gett is a true hero!”

Next, another soldier screamed.

“Dust is the bad guy who even got expelled by Old Man Zes from his village! You’ve done a lot of bad things in North City! I’ve heard a lot from your villagers about your evil deeds, Dust!”

“No! You guys are being deceived!”

“That’s enough! If you come forward, Dust, we’ll shoot! I don’t care if you die! I’ll say it again! Us soldiers are allowed to kill you! If you come forward, we won’t hesitate!”

“I’m a Hero! Do you think I’ll succumb to such threats!”

“Shoot! Kill him! Take him down!”

A rain of arrows was showered on me.

“Aaarghhh! Stop! Aaaahhhhh!”

“Whoa, he’s fast! Dust disappeared in the blink of an eye!”

“He escaped from that rain of arrows!”

“We failed to kill him! Damnit! His ability to escape is top notch!”

“Unbelievable! Despite being beaten up by Gett like that, his evasion ability is abnormal!”

I left the capital and caught my breath.

“They tried to kill me!”

I pulled out the arrow stuck in my back.

If it was anyone but me, they’d be dead!

“It hurts! Damnit! Aarrgghhhh!”

Each time I pull out an arrow, a wave of intense pain shoots through me.

Unbelievable! Did they really try to kill me? Unbelievable!!

I’m a Hero!

As I removed my armor, the frustration hit me again.

The armor is dented by getting hit so many times, and the plate on the back has holes from arrows.

My blood is stained on my clothes, and the blood on the armor has congealed.

Shit!

And Gett is a true hero?

Are they all insane?

Gett is just a meatwall, incompetent and unable to attack or dodge.

He’s useless, he has no speed or attack power.

But me! I continued to receive countless attacks and withstood them!

There’s no way that damned Gett can shine!

At that moment, a gust of wind swept through.

“Koppo! Looks like you’re having a hard time.”

“Galdwin! Stop making fun of me with your creepy voice! I’ll kill you!”

“It seems you’re not in the mood for a chat with me.”

Galdwin tried to leave.

“Waaait!!!!”

“Koppo! What is it? You didn’t want to talk, did you?”

That “Koppo” really gets on my nerves.

It’s disgusting, but I’ll hear him out. After all, I’m quite the reasonable person.

But Galdwin, if it’s not me, you’re done for.

Anyone would be throwing stones at you if they weren’t a gentleman like me.

“Have you decided to listen to the proposition of joining forces?”

“I’ll listen! But answer me one thing!”

“What?”

“You didn’t get a Karma Ticket from this country, did you?”

“No, I haven’t taken it. I spent my days training and studying until I gained strength. Unlike you, I learned the basics well and have become even stronger than I was in the game.”

“You’re not lying, are you?”

“I can’t team up with someone who doubts me.”

Galdwin tried to leave, wrapped in the wind.

“Waaaaaaaitttt!!!!”

“Koppo! What is it now? You can’t listen or trust me, don’t you?”

Galdwin laughed at me, still saying “Koppo.”

He really is disgusting.

But I’m a gentleman. I’ll treat him like an adult.

“We can work together. But there’s something I’m concerned about.”

“What might that be?”

“You all lost in the game. To this amazing me!”

“That’s certainly true. In the game, the empire loses. It’s because of the stupid Emperor.”

“No, you lost because I beat you to a pulp.”

“It was because the military force was deployed bit by bit one after another. The Emperor is incompetent.”

“Huh? Why are you saying something I don’t understand?!!”

“Koppo! You don’t understand, huh? Hmm. Let me rephrase it. In the game, the Emperor sent Six Generals to this country one by one, right? That’s why the Empire lost. But think about it this way? Why don’t the Emperor attack this country at once with all five remaining generals, the Swift Gale, Bone, Dragon, and Black Knight?

“Well, it’d be a piece of cake if I were there, but without me, this country would be finished.”

“Koppo! You finally seem to understand. And what if, on top of those Five Generals, the Hero also joined in attacking this country?”

“With me there, it’d be a quick victory.”

“That’s exactly what I want to do.”

Oi oi oi!!!

If that’s the case, I can crush Gett, Old Man Zes, and the King all at once!

But Kugutsu didn’t come with the other generals…something’s fishy about what he’s saying.

“You can’t do that. Kugutsu is taken out just like in the game.”

“Koppo! Didn’t you understand the current flow? Pukukukuku! Let me explain it to you now. The current situation and what I’m planning to do.”

◇

“Oh, I see. If that’s the case, then just say so! I’m in.”

Kill the Emperor and seize command.

The remaining Five Generals and myself will command a large army and rush into this Mild Kingdom at once.

We need to move quickly now.

Even though no one is here, it would be bad if Galdwin is found out.

We must quickly leave the Capital and kill the Emperor.

And then, swiftly annihilate them all as I dash up at explosive speed!

“Koppo! Sorry about that. I think most regular people would understand without needing to be told. But I guess I need to explain, huh? Well then, let’s head to the Iron Red Empire together.”

I headed to the Empire with Galdwin.

But for some reason, we deviated from the main road and walked down a steep path.

“Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! Help! Help me!”

“Koppo! Huh? If you’re a Hero, shouldn’t you be able to handle monsters like this?”

“Don’t joke around! There are more than 15 Ace Goblins!”

“I can do it, but you, the Hero, can’t? Buu, kukuku! If it’s like this, it’s too embarrassing to introduce you to my companions.”

“Quit messing around! Then kill them yourself!”

While slashing through the Ace Goblins with blades of wind, Galdwin swiftly drew his sword and annihilated all the monsters in an instant.

“It’s that easy. Ah, I see, it’s easy for me, but it’s difficult for the Hero Dust, huh? I can easily hunt down 18 Ace Goblins, but the Hero Dust can’t? It seems you’re a weak little Hero. I was able to kill them in an instant, and it seems you’re just a weakling who can’t survive without my help.”

“I’ll show you! I’m the main character of this game! I’m the chosen one!”

I fought many monsters on my way to the Empire.

My level rose at a terrifying speed, dashing through at explosive speed.

Day after day, I’m ascending at explosive speed!

“My level is increasing at explosive speed.”

“Koppo! We’re not even halfway to the Empire yet. Kukukuku, how many times are you going to say “explosive speed”? You’re just joking, right? You’ve almost died many times with that explosive speed and running away, making strange noises, remember?”

“Hah! It’s an explosive speed level up!”

“Koppo! Kukukukukuku!”

Galdwin continued to laugh, but even the way he laughs is disgusting.

“You’re so disgusting!”

“Sorry, sorry, but if we don’t hurry, the next general will move.”

“This plan is really okay, right?”

“No problem, once we return to the Empire, we can kill the Emperor.”

[Galdwin’s POV]

As expected of the Hero marked by the Empire! His personality is trash.

It’s perfect!

As expected of a Hero.

I will kill the Emperor and have him take the blame.

After that, it’s best if he causes a scene and attracts even more attention to his crimes.

Looking at Dust, he’s fighting an Ace Goblin and is rolling around on the ground miserably.

Yes, everything’s fine. Once the Emperor dies, I’ll make sure to let the imperial soldiers know of his crime of killing the Empire.

After that, I’ll dispose of the trash that’s no longer needed.

No more bothersome Emperor or Hero.

In a sense, the Hero Dust is my hero!

Koppopo!!
