If no one knew when, or where, we would be transported. "I don't know when it will be, but you can go look for yourself." I'm sure that the other heroes and that woman already knew all this.
When the sands fall, the four Heroes, and those who fight with them, will be sent to the place of the destruction." Inside that tower is the Dragon Hourglass. You mean that building on the edge of town?" "You know how the kingdom's clock tower faces the general square?" Then I turned to hear what the guy had to say. If the weapon shop owner knew and I didn't, that meant that the country really wasn't very serious about staving off the disaster.
It seems like everyone is on edge in town." To be honest, it really didn't fit with my fashion sense, but if the waves were coming, I needed to have good equipment. I wonder if that meant that he had imbued it with a special effect for free. I looked at the old guy, and he winked at me. It actually looked like it was a little better. I checked my status screen, and sure enough: The armor had the same defense rating as the chain mail had. She might have had a different aesthetic than I did. If she thought she could just do whatever she wanted, she was in for something else. Geez, these people were starting to piss me off. "What do you mean, 'the look in my eyes'?" "Well, your face seems nice enough, but that armor makes the look in your eyes seem dangerous." I left the fitting room, and stood before the two of them. He must have judged my size just from looking at me. He had never taken my measurements or anything, but it fit perfectly. I went into the fitting room and slipped into it. I'd really rather not, but I guess you made it for me and all. I guess I wasn't in a position to choose my path to money, but this was a little ridiculous. What was that supposed to mean? Did it mean that everyone already thought I was the lowest of criminals? "Little late to complain about that, isn't it?" The name seemed fitting, and I think it would make me look like a real apocalyptic headhunter. like something a pirate leader or a gang leader might wear. I put my hand inside, and found that the interior was formed of two layers of skin, and was stuffed with PikyuPikyu feathers. The parts that were not covered with metal plating were lined with Porcupine skin. The sleeve holes were lined with fluffy fur, no doubt from the Usapils, and the chest was formed from a heavy looking plate of metal. I could see why they called it the Barbarian Armor. He pulled out a piece of armor from behind the counter. "Hey, there you are, little Shield Hero." Shunned by everyone from king to peasants, Naofumi’s thoughts were filled with nothing but vengeance and hatred.The next day, we stopped by the weapon shop. Unfortunately, on his second day Naofumi was betrayed, falsely accused, and robbed by the said teammate. Naofumi happened to receive the Legendary Shield, the sole defensive equipment, while the others received weapons capable of attacking.ĭue to Naofumi’s lack of charisma and experience, he ended up with only a single teammate, a beautiful woman, while others had several. Each of the heroes were respectively equipped with their own legendary equipment when summoned. Iwatani Naofumi was summoned into a parallel world along with 3 other people to become the world’s Heroes.
