CHAPTER 2 – I’M JUST A LEVEL 1 VILLAGER, CAN I DEFEAT THE DEMON KING?

PART 04

——

According to Harissa, the hero should first proceed to retrieve the “Hero’s Sword” before heading to the local tavern to gather some comrades. Unfortunately, I had no time for that.

“B-b-b-but! You’re going to defeat the Demon King, right?”

“Yes, then I’ll have to face off against a wizard and an alien king.”

I had no time to go through a tutorial like those offered in RPGs.

“It’s 2.30 p.m. now.”

I’d spent about 1.5 hours in this world already. Iris had mentioned that her spaceship would take 3 hours to complete its warp, so hopefully I would be back in her world by that time.

Which meant my biggest problem now was distance.

“Erm, hero-sama. You’ve been staring at that thing for awhile now. May I ask what it is?”

“This? It’s a watch, and tells you what time it is right now.”

“Ooh— That’s really convenient to have. So, is that one a watch too?” Harissa asked as she pointed to the warp watch strapped to my other wrist.

“No. This is called a warp watch.”

“Warp watch? What is that?”

“It can teleport me through space when I key in some calculated coordinates.”

Which meant I couldn’t use it, since I didn’t know how to calculate coordinates. If only I knew how, it would be a breeze to warp past the barrier and enter the Demon King’s fortress.

As I sighed in defeat, Harissa hesitantly raised a hand.

“I know how to calculate coordinates.”

“Really!?”

“Y-yes. It’s essential to calculate coordinates when trying to summon spirits to a specific location.”

“Alright! Could you key in the coordinates now? You’ll need to base them with our position as the start point and the Demon King’s fortress as the destination.”

With this, I passed the warp watch to Harissa.

“Erm, I think there’s a map of our kingdom somewhere in this room. I’ll go get it.”

With quick steps, Harissa dashed towards the stacks of books scattered around the resource room.

“Now that we’ve solved the movement problem, what about weapons?”

The “Hero’s Sword” came to mind.

“She said the sword could cut through spells, but can I use it against the Demon King…?”

“More importantly, Rekka-san, have you ever learnt how to wield a sword?”

“…Oh.”

That’s right. There’s no point having a weapon if I don’t know how to use it. Even if I could retrieve the “Hero’s Sword”, being a commoner and all, I probably couldn’t wield it.


Usually, a hero would gather experience by fighting slime creatures first, gaining skill with the sword along his journey before challenging a boss like the Demon King. Sadly, I wouldn’t have time for that.

“This is bad…”

Soon, Harissa returned, dashing back to my side.

“Hero-sama~ I’ve keyed in the coordinates~”

“Really? That’s fast.”

“I did my best~. This should teleport us to the center of the isla- kyaa!?”

As she was running, Harissa stepped onto some papers on the floor and slipped.

I reached out and grabbed her.

“Are you alright?”

“I-I-I-I’m alright!”

Harissa pushed herself away from me in panic.

Her face appeared red… Had she hit her nose against my chest when I caught her?

“How was it, Rekka-san?”

R’s face was suddenly up against mine. What did she mean by ‘how was it’? I stared at her in confusion.

“Her chest. Bust. Breasts. You groped them as you caught her, right?”

“Of course not!”

Harissa flinched at my sudden outburst.

“H-hero-sama!?”

“Oh, sorry. It’s nothing.”

Shit. R really loves getting me riled up because nobody else could see or hear her.

Cursing R in my mind, I bent to pick up the warp watch Harissa had dropped.

At that moment… the warp watch’s display lit up with a beep.

[Checking coordinates. Warp commencing in 10, 9, 8, 7…]

“H-hey, wait a minute!”

Why was it working already? Did the drop switch it on?

Iris hadn’t taught me how to cancel the process, nor did she mention this countdown. There was no time to spare.

“There’s no other choice! I gotta go!”

If I left it alone, the warp watch would teleport to the Demon King’s fortress by itself. If that happens, I probably wouldn’t be able to leave this world anytime soon.

That decided, I secured the warp watch around my wrist once again.

Just then, Harissa grabbed my hand.

“I-I’m going too!”

“Idiot! Let go…!”

Just as I was shaking her off, the countdown reached [0].

[Commencing warp.]
