Blessing from the Goddess and Transfer to Another World! ~No Thanks, I Don’t Need a Special Ability~ Chapter 46

Heyho readers! Here's what you all have been waiting for… kind of. The story went a little different from what we expected, but that's the nice things about stories right? Keeping readers on edge as much as possible is one way to have them want to keep reading.(and possibly rage for whatever reasons) That doesn't change our translating speed though, chapters are still quite large.

~~Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 46 Exile and the a.s.sa.s.sin's dagger

[And so, where are the explorers who helped Cattleya and brought Julius' corpse all the way here?]

[Sir! They are waiting in the room next door.]

[I see, then I should go and express my grat.i.tude first.]

The king heads to the room next door immediately after he hears our location.

As the soldier opens the door, a man in his forties enters. He is an attractive middle-aged man dressed in high-cla.s.s looking black and blue clothes.

The king approaches as he sees us. The princess follows right behind him too.

[You saved Cattleya did you not? Not only that, you also cooperated in bringing Julius' remains back as well it seems. I am truly grateful. I believe Cattleya had told you this, but we will be giving you rewards afterwards so, will you not wait for us in the castle for a while?]

[Yes, I don't really mind. Would it be fine if I ask you a question?]

[What is it?]

The soldiers don't seem to think well about me asking a question. I guess they're thinking that he isn't someone the likes of an ordinary explorer can talk to. Well, I'm not one to worry about something like that. Oh, he's more or less a king so polite speech. Well, just to be sure.

[I heard from princess Cattleya that this situation was caused by a Hero who had been sent from Eludia.]

[Yes, it is a deplorable event. Escaping by abandoning his comrades, I cannot possibly call him a courageous person.]

True. Heroes are originally people that are recognized for the things they have carried out, so I believe the act of summoning him as a Hero itself is a great contradiction.

[So, could you tell me how you will treat those heroes from now on?]

[You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, the mere likes of an explorer is planning to interfere in politics!?]

The soldier, no, his equipment is extravagant, so maybe he's a knight. One knight roars.

[It is alright.]

[However…]

[I said it is alright.]

[Alright…]

The king brought it to a close for us for now. That knight is glaring at our side from time to time.

[Our treatment of the Heroes is it? First will be our withdrawal of our declaration as a Hero supporting country. Eludia declared “Protection from threats including demons”, but they dispatched someone who would flee and abandon comrades. They cannot possibly be trusted.]

It caused damage to the royal family, so the Hero is a threat instead.

[And then, the deportation of the Hero. If possible I would like to charge him for a crime and kill him, but going that far will put a complete fissure towards our relation with Eludia.]

After he spoke this much, a soldier enters the room.

[The Hero has been summoned to the audience room. Please make haste, your Majesty.]

[Yes, I understand. Let us go there now. Let us hand you a gift after we have exiled the Hero. Please wait here until then.]

The king says that and tries to leave. The princess seems to be thinking about something and doesn't try following behind the king.

[Cattleya? Let's go?]

[That is right! Won't everyone go watch with us how the Hero will be exiled?]

Princess suddenly proposed something like that. I stop my move to deploy Tamo-san.

[Oh Cattleya, what are you suggesting so suddenly? It isn't really something to show to other people.]

[No, Otousama,  this is something to show to others. A Hero who sticks his nose in the air being exiled is something we can make a show of is it not?]

[Well, however…]

[Moreover, my anger still hasn't abated. The matter regarding Oniisama and the knights is natural, but even I am well in a terrible state .]

[Now that you mention it, you have been wearing a robe the whole time, but…]

Having said so far, Cattleya takes off her robe. What appeared was a girl in an appearance riddled in wounds. I guess she didn't change her clothes after returning to the castle. The burns on her whole body and her worn-out armor stood out. Her blue hair was burnt and frizzled. Her right arm is broken, dangling loosely.

[What in the world…]

[My whole body is full of burns and my right arm is broken. I can't move it at all now.]

[Ah, ahh…]

The king was at a loss for words.

[I don't want to think about my current condition as much as I can. But it was impossible. Not only oniisama, my future is also completely bleak. I absolutely cannot forgive the Hero. In order to dispel even a little of my pent up anger, I want to make it a show and corner him as much as possible.]

I thought she is extremely calm, but she's just been holding it in it seems. If she can't kill him, then she must want to at least see him suffer even a little.

[…Alright, Cattleya. If you say this much, then let us approve of it. You all, come with us.]

With what felt was a lifesaver, we're able to see the Hero exiled too. But Sakura doesn't want to see hero directly. I'm also his acquaintance too, I don't plan on showing myself in front of him on purpose.

[My apologies. Could two of us wait here?]

[Well, I will not say the unreasonable.]

[That is a pity.]

Says the princess disappointedly. Do you want to show us the “Hero getting what he deserved” that much?

[Then, everybody else, please come and see the Hero.]

[Alright.]

[I understand]

>

>

We see the girls off who replied as they pleased, only Sakura and I remained in this room. Shortly after…

A : The king's group and the Hero are in the audience room.

Then, please.

A : Understood. Please close your eyes.

I close my eyes like I was told. That instant, a different field of vision spread around me. My point of view is a little higher, so this must be Sera's.

[I'm Mio-chan.]

[I'm Sera.]

Alta went out of her way to give us different points of view. Quite elaborate there.

On the throne sits the king and beside him is the princess wearing a hood. The Hero is standing in front of them. By the way, Sera and Mio among my companions are lined up on the right side from the king.

I can identify the Hero, but he's really the Kusakabe I know of. Around him are Eludia's soldiers. As expected they won't let him go as an envoy alone.

[Hero. Do you know the reason I summoned you here?]

[Yes, it is regarding the promised support. The promise that the Heroes will protect the Estia kingdom from threats including demons in exchange for funds, resources and personnel.]

[It involves that matter as well. However, there is something I have to ask before that. It is the matter of the dungeon.]

[Ah…]

It was a moment,but hearing that Kusakabe made a troubled look.

[Hero, you said volcano golems that should not be there appeared and the prince and princess died a n.o.ble death protecting you, right?]

[Yeah, I fought together, but both the prince and the princess covered me and died as a result. Following that opening I dealt the finis.h.i.+ng blow to the volcano golem. I'm alive now thanks to them.]

[I see…]

The king is probably trembling and s.h.i.+vering with anger. He's amazing, fluently lining up packs of lies until here.

[If that is really the case, then what is the meaning of this!?]

He says and the princess beside him moves forward and removes her hood. The princess full of burns shows her figure..

[Wh!]

Naturally Kusakabe was the only one to see that and be surprised. The soldiers behind him are perplexed.

[It- it's an impostor! I am certain the princess was killed by the volcano golem! Somebody disguised herself as her and! Right, there's no doubt a demon has disguised herself as her!]

Yep, there actually was a demon that falls under that category. The coincidence is scary. But I already killed that one.

[Cattleya was saved by explorers who happened to pa.s.s by by chance when she was about to be killed by the volcano golem. What Cattleya said was that you Hero encountered the volcano golem and you slashed Julius and ran away by making him and her a decoy as soon as your first strike was ineffective against the volcano golem.]

[Please don't lend your ears to what the likes of an impostor says!]

[Hero, you said the remains of the prince and princess corpses were burnt away by the volcano golems with none remaining. However those explorers brought back each of the remains of the prince and knights. There were some whose injuries were terrible, but it is at the level where one could make individual instinction. And there is a trace of being slashed with a sword on Julius' remains!]

[Those are fakes too! Your majesty, please don't let them trick you!]

Kusakabe's lines lost variation.

[I can not see anything but you Hero, no you b.a.s.t.a.r.d lying to me! Therefore, I will withdraw our Hero support and deport you b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You will not enter this country for the second time!]

As the king said that, Kusakabe's expression collapsed.

[Don't f*** with me… Just when I thought I could do whatever I like after coming to the other world, you think I can endure people getting in my way in this place…?]

[Quickly throw that man out!]

The king orders his subordinate's soldier. Soldiers from Eludia's side were also baffled, but still step forward to protect the Hero. However, the one who moved before anyone started any definite movement.

[Don't f*** with me!]

Says Kusakabe and he invokes his

Capable of accelerating his body and consciousness. 1 second for ordinary people will become 3 seconds for the user. It's limited to 5 seconds. This means 15 seconds for the user. Its cooldown is 10 seconds.

Simply speaking, it's an ability where everything beside the user go slowmotion. Since the attack power isn't increased dramatically, it was hardly effective against volcano golems. On top of that, seems convenient for escaping.

The accelerated Kusakabe started running toward the king. He takes a sword on the way from the item box he held and pierced the king's stomach. …Confiscate it beforehand, okay?

[Guha~!]

[Hahaha! It's punishment for getting in my way. Die!]

The king spits out blood and collapses. While accelerated, Kusakabe goes between the soldiers and slips out of the audience room.

Everybody there are dumbfounded by the sudden violence. It immediately becomes a big uproar. Soldiers from Eludia are arrested and knights are going after Kusakabe.

[Otousama! Healing magic users are coming! Please don't let go of your consciousness until then!]

Princess clings onto the king and encourages him. There doesn't seem there are any healing magic users in this place, so the soldiers went to call one in panic, but I'm almost certain they won't make it in time at this rate.

>

>

I leave the healing to Mio who is the nearest to the king.

[Y-You lady are?]

[I can use recovery magic so!]

[I-Is that so! Please heal father!]

[Leave it to me! "High Heal"!]

The king's HP recovers by the “High Heal”. Honestly, I feel relieved Kusakabe is weak. Because he didn't shave away his HP even though he stabbed him that openly.

[He will be all fine now!]

[Uugh…]

The king should be alright now. Now then, what will become of the problem Hero I wonder.

When the hero escaped, I released Tamo-san as a pursuer. I let Tamo-san mimic the falcon monster "Hawkeye" and use skill to chase after him.

No matter how fast he can move, there's time restriction and cooldown. Even if it is too hard to capture him, it isn't that hard to chase after him from the sky. Of course, I can capture him alone if he's inside the map, but this is for when he goes to a different area.

It seems the hero went to the hotel. Is he an idiot or something? Shouldn't you get out of the capital before word gets out?

Yeah, he is an idiot. If not, he wouldn't do something meaningless like stabbing the king. Because he won't be able to be in this country either way.

[I thought I would feel satisfied when the Hero gets exiled, but the plan somehow ended up going in a strange direction didn't it?]

[It sure did. Didn't he get the that he still won't be able to stay in this country if he stabbed the king in a rush and there's no other chances other than being put up as a criminal?]

[If he knew he wouldn't have done it. That sort of thing.]

[That's also true. I'm curious about Eludia's response afterwards. It's a barbaric act towards a royal family at a public place, so I don't think even they can cover that up…]

[Honestly speaking, it doesn't seem useful or meaningful.]

[No doubt about that.]

But, why could that idiot become an envoy? I hate the guys who goes to the same school on a fundamental basis, but there should be a few decent guys there. Going out of their way to make that their envoy or something, I can't understand it.

There is movement in the audience room. The king narrowly escaped death but he still lost his strength: it seems like he's resting in a room while receiving medical treatment.

My companions are guided to a guest room. “I would like you to stay in the castle today” is apparently what was requested by the princess. A soldier is now coming to get in touch with us.

A moment later, the soldier came in and guided us to the guest room too. I was told they will prepare private rooms, but there was no particular need for that so I had them put us all in the same room. The maid gave some simple explanation of the room, but at the end I was told "This is the royal castle. Please refrain from doing something outrageous". Why?

A : (A single man in the same room with a many women. And if nearly all of them are slaves, then it would be natural to be misunderstood…)

[Well~, I really didn't expect the king to get stabbed~]

Says Mio sitting on a gorgeous bed inside the royal castle's guest room. Dora is already sleeping.

[That's right. His Majesty the King would have been dead if it weren't for us. What in the world is the Hero trying to do I wonder?]

[I don't think he was thinking about anything.]

[That sort of person being a Hero is unbelievable isn't it?]

As Sera said, the king was really on the verge of dying. Everybody's Hero evaluation is steadily dropping too. Well, they've already heard it from us, so it was low in the first place. It's that new low thing.

>

It's not like I don't understand Kate's complain. Yep, I also have that doubtful feeling whether Maria can be called a hero or not…
