An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being

Episode 315: Saint and Hero(Third Party Perspective)

"Monsters are attacking!!"

"Don't let them take even one step through here!!"

"Protect our city!!"

 Tens of thousands of monsters of different races march on the plain in front of the town, which is protected by strong walls, in a well-controlled manner.

 Usually, when multiple types of monsters are mixed together, they fight over territory and move around on their own, making it impossible to take control.

 However, there is an exception to that rule.

 This is the case when Demons, a race that looks like humans, but have horns, tails, and other features that are unthinkable for humans, are involved. However, an ordinary Demon cannot lead such a large group.

 The fact that this is possible is proof that there is a Maou who rules over many monsters and Demons.

 They have invaded the human realm in earnest.

"Trample them!!"

""Woooooooooohhhhhhhhh!!""

 A manly shout that seems to intimidate the place resounds in the surroundings, causing the air to vibrate as if overwritten by the monsters' screams, and the monsters walking slowly rush towards the city as if they are swarming

"Intercept theeeeeeeeeeem!!"

""Uoooooooooohhhhhhhhh!!""

 In response, the soldiers attack the monsters as well.

-Dododododododododo!

 The sound of footsteps of monsters and soldiers echoes in the ground, and the distance between them shrinks.

"Guooooohhhh!!!"

"Woooooohhhh!!!"

 Soldiers and monsters clash with each other like sumo wrestlers, and a thunderous roar resembling blunt weapons colliding erupts everywhere.

"Guwaaaaaahhhh!!"

 At first, they are evenly matched, but due to the violence of an overwhelming number of monsters, by improving the strength of monsters that were originally uncontrolled, by moving in a controlled manner, gradually the humans are starting to be pushed.

"Stop, stop it!! Guwaaaaaaahhhhh!!"

"I don't want to die!! I hate iiiiiiit!!"

"Jasmine, Elmina, I'm sorry ... Gufu!"

 And once they start pushing, they are swept away and tramped by a flash flood called monsters in the blink of an eye, like a broken dam.

"Kyaaaaaaa!! The soldiers lost!!"

"We will die here ..."

"Monsters are coming into town, run awaaaaaay!!"

 If the soldiers who protect the city are trampled on, the next thing that awaits the ordinary people of the city is a horrific deed.

"Guha!!!"

"Kyaa!!!"

"Gufu!!!"

 People fall into the hands of monsters one after another.

"Stop it, desu!!"

 In such a place of despair, a maiden wearing a white priest's uniform appears.

"Oh!! It's Saint Noelle-sama!!"

"Saint-sama has come!!"

"If Saint-sama has arrived, she can easily exterminate monsters!!"

 The sudden appearance of the pure white girl Noelle turns the despair of the residents into hope.

"Sanctuary!! Area High Heal!!"

 The girl is called a Saint, and as the name suggests, she stands in front of the monsters, puts up a barrier in front of her to hold back the monsters, and heals the deeply wounded residents with healing magic.

"Leave this to me and run away quickly, desu!!"

"Th, thank you, Saint-sama!!"

"Saint-sama, you saved me!!"

 Saint Noelle yells at the residents to run away, and the residents obey her voice and leave the place at once, even though they are worried about the Saint, the leave the place at once.

"I won't let you have your way any longer!! Purification!!"

 Saint Noelle uses purification magic. When the purifying light reaches the monsters beyond the barrier, the monsters silently turn into dust like sand and disappear.

 The monsters in the city disappear due to Saint Noelle's magic.

"Hou. Isnt there a pretty good woman among the humans?"

 However, an opponent appears who did not disappear even after being bathed in such purifying light, and does not appear to have taken any damage.

 It is the Maou. The face of the Maou closely resembles that of a soldier with a mad smile from a certain country.

"I won't be happy even if you say that to me!!"

"Fu!Fu!Fu! Your rebellious attitude isn't bad either. If you surrender meekly and become my woman, I'll promise you that I won't hurt any more humans, what do you think?"

 Noelle glares at the hated Maou who massacred people, but he doesn't seem to respond at all with an expression that it seemed to be a gently breeze, and on the contrary, he even proposes concessions.

"There is no guarantee that you will keep such a promise!!"

 There is no guarantee that someone who doesn't have morals and kills people will keep their promise, and Saint Noelle rejects his proposal, partly because of her unspeakable hatred for the Maou.

"Ku!Ku!Ku! Just as I thought. Let me give you a little pain. If I do, you'll change your mind."

"Things won't go the way you think they will!!"

 After the Maou laughs strangely, he stares at Saint Noelle with a ferocious smile as if he is hunting his prey, but she doesn't give in to that gaze and readies her weapon.

"Alright. Fuun!!!"

"Kyaaaaaaaaaa!!"

 Saint Noelle, who thought she would never lose, is blown away by a serious blow from the Maou. Her momentum doesn't stop until she hits the rubble, bouncing across the ground like a ball, until she hits the wreckage of a house which stops her momentum.

"Uu ... Uuhh ..."

"You were all talk."

 The Maou comes to Saint Noelle, who is barely conscious, and looks down at her with a smile as if to say that she can not escape anymore.

 Somebody help ...

 Saint Noelle prays in her heart.

"Wait!!"

 A knight wearing silver full-body armor arrives. He is a kind man with oriental features.

"I was in a good place, but you got in the way!! Who the hell are you!!"

"I am Hero Footstool!! I will defeat you!!"(TN:Yuusha Futsutooru, LMAO at the naming.)

 The Maou who has his honeymoon with the Saint interfered with gets angry and says to the knight, who calls himself a Hero, and draws his sword.

"Fu!Fu!Fu! Can someone like you defeat me?"

"You'll never know unless you try, right?"

"Alright!! I'll be your opponent directly!!"

 The Maou laughing like a fool, and the Hero, stand facing each other with a serious expression on their face.

"Here I go!!"

"Come!!"

-Kiin kiin kiin kiin!

 Moving at such speed that no one can see it, the Maou's sharp claws and the Hero's divine sword collide repeatedly, giving off sparks and making a high-pitched sound.

"You're quite good, aren't you!!"

"You too!!"

"Then, how bout this?"

"What!? Guwaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!"

 It is an evenly contested battle, but the Hero **. He is easily blown away by the Maou's attack.

"Gu!"

"What's wrong? Is that it?"

 Just when he is about to regain his posture and stand up, the Maou comes and laughs as if he is bewildered.

"I ... can't afford to lose!!"

"Yu, Yuusha-sama ... !?"

"Wh, what!?"

 The Hero Footstool stands up with his sword as a support, and when he raises his sword, it shines divinely. Saint Noelle and the Maou are surprised by the light and their expressions distort.

"M, magic power, 1 thousand, 2 thousand, 5 thousand, 10 thousand, 100 thousand, 1 million ..."

 The light gathers on the sword, and the light increases in strength.

-Pariin!

"The magic scouter made by the demons is broken!? What is this power!!"(TN:Nuoo it's over 9,000! The scouter is broken!)

 When the monocle that the Maou is wearing breaks, he is shocked.

"Hero I go, Maou!!"

"Stop iiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!"

 When Hero Footstool takes a stance, the Maou tries to escape from the spot.

"Guwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

 However, he is unable to escape from the attack of the Hero Footstool, and is swallowed by the torrent of light, disappearing without a trace.

"Yuusha-sama ... You defeated the Maou, didn't you, desu?"

"Oh, Saint Noelle. The Maou has been defeated!! With this, you won't have to be afraid of the Maou from now on."

 After confirming that the Maou has disappeared, the Hero Footstool rushes over to the fallen Saint Noelle and picks her up.

"Is that so, desu, I can die without worrying about anything, desu ..."

"That's no good. Even though I got the power of a Hero with all my heart because I wanted to be with you ... Please don't go."

"It can't be helped, desu ... My consciousness is getting hazy, desu ..."

 Saint Noelle is fainting and tells him that she will die soon, but the Hero sheds tears and tries to stop it. However, Saint Noelle's wounds are deep, and because she's not in a condition to use magic, she will just die like this.

"Hey, wake up."

"I'm sorry ... desu ..."

 Unable to open her eyes, she is shaken by the voice of Hero Footstool, but Noelle apologizes as her consciousness fades away.

 Please forgive me for leaving you, desu ...

"Wake up!!"

"Don't shake me, desu!!"

 However, when she is shaken even more strongly, her consciousness doesn't fade away and becomes clearer.

 However, when Noelle opens her eyes, what is in front of her is not the Hero Footstool, but a young boy wearing a Jersey from modern Earth, with a look reminiscent of the Hero.

"Fue? Yuusha-sama?"

 Noelle can't tell the difference between dreams and reality, so she mutters that involuntarily.
