Chapter 47.3 : Ariadya For Those Who Becoming Rich

Her chest was so bountiful.

Although the girl asked the man to release her, he acted as if he didn’t hear her. That was just how beautiful she was, to the point that the man refused to let her go.

No one in the area tried to save her. They just stood there and watched, those useless bystanders.

To them, those men must look very strong. Maybe they wouldn’t try to save the girl because they were afraid of becoming targets too.

I suppose that was my cue to act.

It was my duty, as the Hero of Fire, to help those in distress. And who knows? I might even get something in return for saving her.

Just imagining how I could be rewarded made me smile, so I stepped forward.

「That’s enough, old man! Release her!!」

「Wazzap, you bastard!! Did ya have any business with this Godan, the Hero of Earth?」

「Hero, my ass! Don’t act so despicable!! If you really are a hero, let go of that woman!!」

I sneered at the self-proclaimed Hero.

I’ll show him the true power of a Hero!

「Ha! What are you talking about? We’re just kindly offering this lady some help to find her friend!」

「Huhm, is that so? I bet you were thinking of pretending to help while leading her to a deserted place, right? Your face is revealing your filthy desires.」

「WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU BASTARD!!」

One of the men standing around shouted at me but didn’t get any closer. I prayed in silence for a moment and, suddenly, a fire appeared out of thin air.

The man was so startled by the flame that appeared in front of him that he fell on his ass.

「What the heck?!!」

The fire gently coiled around me, wanting to protect me.

「A Battle Mage…」

「Who the hell is he…」

「He told you just now, you idiot. He’s the Hero of Fire.」

「I’ve heard about this guy before. The Hero of Fire, Novis, who can manipulate fire at will.」

The chatter made me look around. The bystanders were all talking about me. Hehehe. I must have become quite famous.

The ability to manipulate fire at will was what gave me the moniker of Hero of Fire. Of course, just being able to create fire wasn’t enough to make me a Hero.

Whether swordplay or close quarter combat, I’m a cut above the rest.

I watched as the supposed Hero of Earth charged at me with a war cry. He seemed pretty confident about his brute strength. However, it was meaningless if it didn’t touch me.

His attack left a big gap that I slipped through, landing a blow on his flank. Using a bit of my magical power, I created a small shockwave when my attack landed.

「BURST IMPACT!!」

After that attack, he would faint in agony.

But for some reason, once I looked at him, he showed no change in his expression. It was as if my attack hadn’t even landed.

Suddenly, I felt a powerful impact hitting my side. The force of it blew me away, and I rolled on the ground.

Godan laughed at me.

「GUHA!!」

「My bad, Hero of Fire. This Godan, the Hero of Earth, is a tough one.」

「F#CK!!」

I tried standing up while holding my injured side.

I was careless.

Turns out he did have the qualifications to call himself a Hero.

The Hero of Earth set his stance again.

「Well? Do you feel like continuing?」

「Yeah!!」

I put up my stance as well but didn’t unsheathe my sword. While in the city, using weapons was forbidden.

Above all things, a Hero must uphold the law.

The problem was… I didn’t think I could win against that Hero of Earth. I had no other choice but to overwhelm him with numerous Burst Impacts.

I tried raising my magical power for the technique, but the pain on my flank prevented me from attacking.

The reason for the entire situation suddenly released herself from the man’s grip and tried to stop Godan.

「Please, stop this! This isn’t a match anymore!!」

「Huhm, he’s the one who picked a fight with me. You should step back, Missy. Things are just gonna get more dangerous.」

The Hero of Earth swept his hand behind him, trying to push the girl back. Only… His hand grabbed her breast.

My mind supplemented the situation with an imaginary sound.

Boing.

「KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!」

The girl pushed back the man’s hand as she let out a loud scream. The Hero, having lost his balance after grabbing the softness of the girl’s chest, was pushed back in my direction.
