The Return of the World's Destructive Hero
Chapter 5: The Journey to the Capital
On a clear morning all the remaining villagers began the journey towards the nearby village. Satoru goes with them and becomes a bodyguard to protect the citizens from attacks on the way.
They could only walk on foot because all the horses in the village had run somewhere due to the attack of the orcs.
"I don't think the savior has a magic bag, is it possible that you're a famous swordsman?"
"No, this magic bag was given by my teacher as a gift to pass the test"
In the evening of yesterday, the villagers helped Satoru manage the materials from the orcs and collect their magic stones. As all the materials gathered they were confused as to how to carry them, but Satoru easily took out the magic bag and put all the materials into his dimensional bag.
After a long journey, they finally reached the village. A village guard approached them and asked about yesterday's incident.
"Are you survivors?"
"Yes, all this is thanks to this young man"
The villagers who answered the guard lord's question pointed towards Satoru. The guard looked uncertain as he looked at Satoru's young age.
"How old are you?"
"Eh? I'm 16 years old"
The guard looked from the foot to the tip of Satoru's hair.
"Heee~ I never thought I was an adult. Appearances can be deceiving well"
In that world, someone is already in the adult category when he was 15 years old. While from the appearance of Satoru, he was like a 14-year-old in the world. That was why the guard seemed to doubt that Satoru could face many orcs alone, even more so because there were reports that orc generals were involved in the attack.
They were allowed to enter, one of the villagers was appointed and brought to the village head to tell the previous incident. Satoru was also asked to go there.
At the village chief's house, the surviving villagers recounted all the events that occurred during the attack. He told me everything in detail until the battle of Satoru.
"So this young man has defeated the orcs alone? moreover, among them was one orc general"
"Yes!"
The village chief lowered his head and thanked Satoru for saving the village. After all the affairs in the house of the village chief finished Satoru went to a building with the sign of the adventurer guild.
"So this is an adventurer guild?"
When he went inside, there were a lot of people staring at him. Ignoring the gaze, Satoru walked leisurely towards the reception desk of the guild.
"Is there anything I can help you with, sir?"
The guild receptionist greeted Satoru so politely.
"Can I sell monster materials here?"
"Of course you can, what do you want to sell?"
Satoru took out a bag of magic stones from the defeated orcs. The total magic stones were 30 ordinary people and 1 orc general.
"Eh!? Are you the one who saved the village?"
"Yes, is something wrong?"
The receptionist brought and checked all the orc magic stones. After waiting for the receptionist to return with a bag of money.
"This is the money from the magic stone"
Satoru received the money and left the guild, after which he met again with the merchant who was in the village before.
"Hey do you want to go to the capital?"
The merchant asked Satoru who had just stepped out of the adventurer guild. Hearing the question from the sword Satoru nodded.
"Do you want to come?"
Hearing that the merchant smiled widely and accepted Satoru's invitation. They went in search of a horse-drawn carriage that led to the capital. When they met the horse-drawn carriage that led to the capital, they immediately set off.
To get to the capital they need to pass through 2 more villages, by horse carriage they will get to the capital for 2 days of travel.
In the middle of the journey while passing through the winding road, Satoru asked for a road that was heading in the other direction.
"Sir, if we follow that road over there where will we go?"
"Hmm, if we turn there we will lead to the dungeon city or can be said to be the city of adventurers"
Hearing that Satoru became excited and wanted to go there as soon as possible. After a long journey the day began to dark, fortunately they arrived in the countryside before nightfall.
In the morning they continued their journey. While in the car Satoru can only look around while enjoying the cool breeze blowing. Tired of being inside, he got on the train to relax.
As he was relaxing, there was the sound of swords clashing in the distance. Hearing that Satoru requested that the coachman increase his speed.
"Sir, can you increase the speed? I think there's a fight ahead"
Hearing that, the coachman was confused, usually people will avoid an unnecessary fight and prefer a safe trip. Because the coachman never increased his speed, Satoru jumped from the roof and immediately ran quickly to the source of the sound.
When close enough to the sound, Satoru could see there were two parties fighting. One used good armor like a knight while the other used different equipment. From the thought of Satoru can only guess that they are being attacked by bandits, because seeing from a horse carriage that is quite luxurious.
"Schada Aeria!"
So quickly Satoru directly hit the bandits and made them all paralyzed. Seeing that the other bandits immediately charged towards Satoru.
He fought all those bandits so easily and managed to cripple them all.
"Yosh, the extermination is over!"
When all the bandits were defeated the knights became wary of Satoru. As the noise outside was already inaudible, the person inside the carriage came out to see the situation.
When the carriage door opened, a white-haired girl with blue eyeballs came out so gracefully. Needless to say, Satoru realized that the girl was a noble. Unwilling to get involved, Satoru immediately lowered his head and left the scene.
He ran back and returned to his carriage. The merchant girl and the coachman asked him about what was happening in front.
"Only a train attacked by bandits, but it's been overcome"
Hearing that both of them could only feel relieved and curious about Satoru. The journey continued and in the end they reached the capital in the afternoon.
