Technically this is the second wave, but I will count from the point the heroes were summon, not from before the heroes were summoned. Anyway We all where the last chapter ended so let's go.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naofumi and me were evacuating villages near the castle so we would be in less inconvinient situation during the wave. I checked the time and it was around 7:30 I knew atleast one village will not be evacuated on time so I prepared some potions just it case there were injured. After that me, Naofumi and our teams wait for the wave to start by Erhard's shop.

Erhard: "I wish many luck to you four."

Y/N: "I will be glad, if we manage to save the village before it takes any casualties."

Ahri: "I find it interesting yet very heroic that you care more about the people around you then about yourself, if you will not try to put your health on a more important spot in your priorities you might end up dead."

Erhard: "Warming up to him much?"

Ahri blushes before looking away sneaking a small glance at me.

Erhard/(Y/N): 'She totally likes him/me' Erhard smiles while I sweatdrop a bit.

Y/N: "Isn't that a hero's job to sacrifice their own life for the sake of others?"

Ahri: "I-I guess you have a point..." *sad face*

Y/N: *Sigh* "Lighten up foxy. We are going to get through this together. *Turns to Naofumi* So the plan is this: While the idiot trio (Motoyasu,Ren,Itsuki) kill off the more dangerous enemies, our two groups will take care of making sure that evacuation of the village during the wave goes smoothly, by taking down any monster that gets near them."

Naofumi: "so that is your plan?"

Y/N: "Better than having them getting in our way."

Raphtalia: "No arguing there, they think too highly of themselfs, even if they are heroes, that confidence can get them killed."

Erhard: "Yeah, at first they looked like decent people, but even some people down here can tell that those three have some problems with their ego."

I chuckle a bit at this and so does Naofumi.

Naofumi: "How long till you all figured that out?"

Erhard: "two or three days after you were accused."

I pull out my pocket dragon hourglass, suprising Naofumi, Erhard, Raphtalia and Ahri.

Y/N: "hm... Three minutes... and I am tingling in anticipation."

Raphtalia: "You make that sound like a good thing way too much..."

Y/N: "Once a man of war... always a man of war."

I sweatdrop a little and look away.

Y/N: "Sorry. The thrill of a good fight is something I can't really forget, so I am a little excited by the chalenge before me."

Ahri: "I don't know, if that should be a good thing or a bad thing..."

Y/N: "I became a fan of danger, when I heard the sounds of explosions and ammunition hit the ground. Sure I lost friends, but I had to accept the truth that all of us were there by choice and had to expect death to be right by the next door. But that is a story for another day."

0:00:10

Erhard: "Heh well I hope we get to see eachother after this hell."

0:00:08

Naofumi: *rolls eyes* "I will be glad, if the innocent will stay unharmed."

0:00:06

Ahri: "We will not fail. We will show these people true hope in the dark."

0:00:04

Raphtalia: "Right. We are the only hope to these people and we will not run."

0:00:02

Y/N: "I wish all of you lots of luck."

0:00:01

Erhard: "Good luck kiddos and show them who are the strongest and smartest.

0:00:00

I nod to his response. A notification shows on my HUD.

Attention: The Wave of catastrophy is here.

Your objectives:

Defend innocent people.

Counter the invading army.

We then get transported to a hill and the first thing I notice is my,Motoyasu's,Ren's,Itsuki's and Naofumi's party. I nod to myself and look at them with serious expression.

Y/N: "Alright. We talked about the plan before *Looks at the three idiot heroes* You know what to do. *looks at Naofumi, Ahri and Raphtalia* Let's do this. *notices the signal flare* We have to hurry."

We quickly run to the village and notice the gates covering the sky, soon followed by hordes of monsters falling from the skies like parachute squads. We reach the village before the monsters manage to do much damage. I nod at Naofumi and we split up. covering each half of a city. While Ahri and Raphtalia defend the people running to the castle from any stray creeps. I fought for quite good quarter of an hour. I started to feel overrun and grew a bit tired. So decided to bring out the big guns.

Y/N: ": MECH"

I drain a good 80% of my MP and SP just to build one Mech. I quickly jump inside and feel like a kid in a 1 dollar game and toy store. I start a Boxing match with the big zombies and after I finish I stomp on the smaller ones. I then see multiple fireballs above me connect and rain flaming death. In the distance I see Ahri looking at the barrage scared, almost crying. I quickly run and bodyblock the flames with my Mech. After the attack MECH was too damaged and disappeared and even if I was inside I took a major amount of damage leaving me at about 2% of my HP bar. I fell from the exhaustion, but I still managed to stay conscious.

Ahri: "Mr.Y/N!!!"

???: "Hahaha see that! None of them survived... huh the Shield hero? You're kinda tough aren't ya?"

I saw Naofumi hidden under his cape, until Raphtalia enraged charged at the soldier that taunted them.

Y/N: "R- *Cough* Raphtalia! Stand down. Releasing your anger on them is not going to change anything. *Cough Cough*"

I try to walk over to them, but I stumble and fall on the ground. Ahri quickly catches me and puts my arm around her neck to give me support.

(General? Commander? What position did that drunk face have again?)

General?: "S-Sir Hero. Please forgive us. We had no idea you were still here. We deeply apologize, if you became victim to our tactical magic attack.

Y/N: "Don't worry soldiers... I have *COUGH* I have been worse."

I cough out a bit of blood.

Everyone: "WE HIGHLY DOUBT THAT!!!!"

I look up and my eyes widen.

Y/N: "L-LOOK OUT!!!"

The soldiers quickly turn around and dodge the strike, while the General was frozen in fear.

Naofumi: *Sigh* "idiots..."

Naofumi Blocks the giant's attack and instructs the soldiers to get in position, while he and Raphtalia distracted them. I try to reach in the storage area of my armor to get a healing potion. Those things are expesive as hell, but usefull. The storage opens and I slowly pull out the potion.

Ahri: "hmm..?" *notices Y/N pulling out the potion* "Mr.Y/N! You should have told me, that you needed help!"

Ahri sits me down and helps me drink the potion. (Y/N is supporting himself in the sitting position with his arms, while Ahri holds his head and helps him drink the potion down.)

HP: 76%

Y/N: *blushes a little* "Y-You didn't need to go that far."

Ahri: "Of course I did... I really care about you..."

She then starts blushing.

Ahri: "B-b-b-but NOT THAT MUCH!"

Naofumi: "HEY LOVEBIRDS DO YOU WANT TO HELP US?!!!"

I blush a bit harder.

Y/N: ": Railgun attachment.... I COMING!!!"

Ahri: "WE ARE NOT LOVERS!!!"

I blast the horde with the railgun. lowering the numbers by a large amount.

Y/N: ": standard autogun..."

I then think of the most badass theme in my head. RIP AND TEAR by Mick Gordon

I look at the undead army.

-undead POV-

We look at the mortal with the interesting armor and what we see terrifies us. The man was holding his weapon with a toothy grin from ear to ear and his eyes glowed red. He was so menacing we started to think about retreat and then he started to RIP AND TEAR US APART.

-Ahri's, Naofumi's and Raphtalia's POV-

All three: "Mental reminder: Never piss off Y/N"

-Naofumi POV-

I didn't feel a thing, since the betrayal from that bitch, but I this... oh god... THIS SCARES THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF ME.

-Ahri's POV-

It looked like Mr.Y/N completely switched fighting styles. This fighting style was surely nothing for those with weak stomachs. I felt myself almost throw up already. Some enemies were hit by his projectile weapons. Others were torn apart by his two hands literaly.

-Y/N POV-

I was on my ripping everything apart. Nothing except those that started to run survived. I felt like I was after a marathon run. When I finished. I fall on the ground. Everyone rushes to me looking a bit worried.

Y/N: "...heh...I didn't expect myself to fall after that... *looks at the people* forgive me for showing my more... unforgiving side.."

Soldier: "D-don't worry sir hero. We will get you help."

I then pass out.

-timeskip-

I wake up in a luxurious room I look around before frowning a bit.

Y/N: "It seems that I am back at the castle..."

???: "So it would seem..."

I try to look at the person, but I am hugged almost to the point I thought my ribs would break, my realization that it was Ahri comes in seconds. Holding her close I let her emotions flow. Once she breaks the hug... I recieve a hit on my head.

Y/N: "Ow-"

Ahri: "Y-You idiot!! *sob* I thought you were *sob* going to die! *sob*"

I start feeling a bit ashamed, because if I didn't pass out I wouldn't have her so worried... I think I will need help... as selfish as it sounds... Ahri and Me alone are not enough to defeat them and Naofumi will not always be there to defend us.

Y/N: "You... *looks at her with a guilty look* You are right... I was reckless..."

Ahri: *Sigh* "I am not angry... I am just really worried, because you are the first person, ever since I became a slave that treated me well. I-I just don't want to lose someone I care about again..."

We then stare into eachothers eyes for what feels like a eternity, until a person walked into the room.

Maid: "U-um... Sir. Hero... *We break the stares a little panicked* King Aultcray Melromarc wanted to talk to all heroes after you wake up."

Y/N: "I-I see..."

-timeskip-

I stand in front of the throne room. I look at Ahri and she only nods. I slowly open the door and see the four cardinal heroes and their parties. King Aultcray had a relieved expression when he saw me for some reason.

Y/N: "Forgive me King Melromarc for being late."

Aultcray(King Trash): "It is no problem Sir. hero, after all you did pass out from fighting off a major part of the wave according to the Shield and soldiers that were nearby. The monsters started retreating quickly away from you, as if they were afraid of your wrath of justice."

I walk forward until I am right next to Naofumi.

Naofumi: *mumbling* "I certainly have wrath to break your bones you trash king."

Me and Ren heard Naofumi's comment, but decided not to rat him out, since his anger would only be amplified, if we pointed fingers.

Y/N: *quietly* "Queen Mirellia Melromarc I hope you finish fixing the problems soon. This place is going to soon become a literaly flaming hell, if the tension in the air rises even further we might not be able to breathe here."

Aultcray: "Now onto a different matter. I shall prepare a celebration for the great success of repeling this wave with no casualties and all of you. *muttering* Sadly including the shield 'hero' *normal speech* are the guests of honor."

Naofumi clickshis teeth a bit. Myne looks smug which meant she was scheming something during the party. I honestly was mentally exhausted already so I just sigh.

-timeskip to the party-

General: "Yeah and I charged with the fifth hero without fear showing no mercy defeating those monsters one after one-"

I heard the general bragging about something he didn't do, but pay no mind to it, since this was the night of celebration. I look out of the window.

Y/N: "This is just a little break. After this... it's back to work."

Naofumi: "yeah..."

Y/N: "Naofumi... be honest... do you want to return back... do you have anything to return to?"

Naofumi: "I... I want to return, but... I can't quite say that it is my final decision."

Y/N: "I see..."

Raphtalia: "Master Naofumi are you sure you don't want to eat anything?"

Naofumi: "Yes I am sure. Go and take anything you want."

Raphtalia runs of a little sad to the food table.

Ahri: "Mr. Y/N do you want anything to eat."

and right when she says that two drones with a chocolate and strawberry cake. (Ahri likes strawberry's. Why? cuz I said so.)

Y/N: "Here. *both take their cakes and the drones disappear* A treat for both of us."

Ahri was blushing a bit, before she happily eats her strawberry cake. Raphtalia comes back with a cake in her hand insisting on feeding it to Naofumi. I smiled at the scene and a few bites out of my chocolate cake, but the happy mood was quickly ruined by the sound of gloves hitting the ground next to Naofumi and a idiot screaming.

Motoyasu: "Naofumi!"

Y/N: "French way to chalenge someone to a duel? or was is spanish? Eh whatever."

Naofumi: "What do you want?"

Myne: "Hey you will talk to sir. Motoyasu with respect!"

Motoyasu: "I heard that you have a slave in your party."

Naofumi: "Yeah, so what. In melromarc it is legal to have a slave."

Motoyasu: *baffled* "Even so it is wrong for a hero to have a slave. It is just wrong."

Y/N: "Motoyasu. Let me ask you a question."

Motoyasu: "Huh?"

Y/N: "Imagine you are in Naofumi's position. You have a legendary weapon that cannot be used offensively very well. You are broke and People look down on you thanks to your reputation and may have slight anger issues. -"

Naofumi: "HEY!"

Y/N: "You wouldn't be able to get party members very easily, so his only hope was most-likely to turn to the darker side of the city, since slavery is allowed in the nation, he would have no further problems with the law and he would have it cheaply. That cunning merchant said that Raphtalia was on a brink of death, so she was the cheapest slave on the market."

Motoyasu: "W-wait how do you know all this?!"

Y/N: "Reading people is my hobby and Ahri used to be a slave as well, until I payed the Slave trader enough coin for him to remove the slave crest, after that I trained her how to survive. Which mostly consists of teaching her hand to hand combat and thanks to the nice lady from the magic shop some low level magic, but she also managed to learn how to read people, belive me when someone lies, the two of us are the first ones to know, if it is a lie. Right now she is a free person, but insists on staying trying to protect me..." *looks away blushing a bit*

Ren: "He has a point Motoyasu."

Itsuki: "But it still is wrong to own a slave..."

Motoyasu: "T-Then let's settle it this way! Naofumi. I Chalenge you to a one on one duel! If I win you will have her slave crest removed! If I lose *muttering* which is unlikely *normal voice* she will keep the crest."

I stand in silence looking at Naofumi. He just scoffs and gets up.

Naofumi: "I refuse your offer Motoyasu and I have better things to do. Raphtalia we are leaving."

Naofumi is unfortunatly stopped by the guards and the king forces him to accept the duel or having Raphtalia taken away. Which meant removing the seal and selling her back to the merchant. I narrow my eyes a bit, while Ahri looks more worried.

Y/N: "Motoyasu, after your duel with Naofumi is finished. I wish to chalenge you to a friendly duel. I want to see how much you improved, since the last time I saw you fight."

Motoyasu: *smug grin* "I accept!"

If Naofumi loses I will beat the crap out of him so much his spear will be stuck in his ass and come out of his mouth.
