FFF-Class Trashero

Chapter 313 - [21st Round] What a meeting!

“What should I do with him…”

Sage was easy to deal with.

I could just cross him out of the 5th curriculum forever.

However, it wouldn’t provide the best results.

This wasn’t my adventure, after all. I was just trying to help my junior colleagues.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that Sage was one of the Hero’s companions.

To please Mollansoft, I had to create an educational environment where the heroes could learn about love and friendship while effectively increasing their combat power.

So far, everything had been going well.

“Is this really okay, hubby? You crossed out the Sword Princess wedding event from the curriculum, even though there were no problems with it before.”

“Don’t worry about it. I’ve taken everything into consideration.”

We were now faced with a serious problem.

If the Hero believed Sage’s words and engaged in a battle with the Connoisseur, their journey would end on the same day.

Shakespeare was different from my father-in-law.

He didn’t send his subordinates, the power of which always equaled the heroes, to battle. Rather, he moved to the frontlines himself.

And that wouldn’t be where their worries ended.

From a satellite located in space, a beam could easily destroy the heroes, instantly killing them.

There would be no hopes or dreams for them.

“Yes, this is really serious, hubby. But I assume you’ve already found a solution?”

“Naturally.”

The 5th curriculum lacked enemies (textbooks) that the Hero (student) had to overcome.

The Five Great Disasters had disappeared from the curriculum.

The former Ice Dragon who ate the Snow Woman even disappeared completely from the Northern Continent.

Hence, we needed a new enemy who would stand in the way of the Hero.

Fallen Sage.

He was unable to marry and lost the opportunity to become an archmage, eventually losing his mind and becoming the Cursed Mage.

“That’s overkill.”

“I am the MAX-Class Hero.”

Here in Fantasy, no one could rival my Fabrication and Incitement.

I prevented wars and arranged political marriages while my companions did nothing but kill.

“Political marriages? What if the woman is unhappy?”

“That’s never been the case.”

If anyone looked at my 2nd round, they’d understand that I had never arranged marriages that would make the couple unhappy.

The harmony of Yin and Yang was very important.

I didn’t want anyone else to suffer from a problematic marriage like mine.

“Problematic? How so?”

“Even when I tell my wife she has the most beautiful pelvis, she never believes me. She’s got the MAX-Class Righteous Hero as her husband, whom she doesn’t deserve, but the cowardly demoness never ceases to be unhappy anyway.”

“That’s a lie.”

“You refuse to believe me again.”

“I’ll always be second. This is the fate prepared for me by the universe. My husband definitely has a woman he loves more than me.”

Ssosia’s logic was understandable.

She was the Second Demon.

She’d always be second, so she didn’t believe me.

But I had something to oppose her reasoning.

“How can you be jealous of your mother-in-law, Ssosia?”

“That’s horrible! Disgusting niece! How can you be jealous like this?”

Honestly and impartially assessing the situation, even the First Spirit did not take her niece’s side,

Ssosia was surprised.

“Mother-in-law?!”

“My mother is also a woman.”

“…”

My wife couldn’t refute the perfect counterargument of her MAX-Class husband.

“Do you still have something to say?”

“Ahem. I guess I was wrong. Since I’m cursed to always be second, I’ve always been pessimistic about ranks. I understand now, though. Despite having already heard from you, my husband, about your mother, I still regarded you with suspicion. Looking back, I understand that it was really stupid,” The cowardly demoness exclaimed, looking at me with twinkles in her eyes.

She even went on the offensive, pulling her MAX-Class husband’s right arm up to her pubic bone.

“What are you doing?”

“For the first time since birth, I feel like I’m first.”

“Okay, just don’t bother. I can’t concentrate on my work.”

“Is it difficult to concentrate when your beloved wife is nearby?”

If maternal love were pushed aside, naturally, Ssosia would be the first.

She was second, but still first.

Her eyes showed madness beyond obsession.

“This is already serious…”

Perhaps I shouldn’t have said anything.

“You must be upset because your work won’t allow you to give me the attention I deserve. You love me too much, after all, my hubby. That’s why for your sake, I shall use Fabrication and Incitement myself! Oh! No need to thank me! For the first wife, such housework is child’s play!”

“… Okay.”

It would be difficult to calm Ssosia in her current state.

The First Spirit sympathized with me. “My niece being sweet scares me, Drug Hero!”

“Well… Let’s see what she’ll do.”

I was curious.

As the first wife, she decided to use Fabrication and Incitement herself.

***

“God’s messenger descended upon us!”

“Creator God of Fantasy!”

“Ah! It’s a miracle!”

“My God, is this not a dream?”

As I expected, the cowardly wife had very sneaky tactics.

Using another personality, the “Creator God of Fantasy,” she sent a message to all the temples at the Northern Continent.

What was its content?

“Sage has gone mad!”

“Sage is a swindler!”

“We need to drive out Sage!”

Ssosia didn’t present any clear evidence or witnesses before the idiotic Fantasy inhabitants, but her title was above law and logic.

What better proof could they desire than the words of God?

With direct Fabrication and Incitement, she destroyed Sage’s reputation.

But since Mollan’s Teachings was the popular religion on the Northern Continent, the effects of her actions were weak.

All nations would have rushed to kill Sage already otherwise.

However, he was at least put in a situation where he couldn’t fix or do anything.

“What’s going on here?!”

Locking the entrance to the tower and strengthening its walls, he fell into confusion.

I couldn’t blame him.

Creator God Fantasy, who had no reason to be angry with him, suddenly pointed at him and said, “He’s a scoundrel!”

Thus, raising his karma to SSS rank.

If Sage knew the reason behind it, he would’ve been even more shocked.

“You can now spend time with me, hubby.”

“Hmm. Fine, we can have fun just for today.”

“Yeees! Let’s go! Your beloved wife will indulge you all day!”

“Aren’t you being too submissive?”

“I’m in the first place! Nothing else matters!”

“…”

I felt bad for Sage, a bachelor, but I had a good day today since my wife followed my every order.

I should skip the details.

? Delight: Councilor Ssosia is amazing. No matter how hard the man I loved asks me to do what she just did, I’d never be able to do it out of sheer embarrassment. What I saw is beyond imagination…”

‘Did you see it? The power of love is very dangerous, Trainee Teacher!’

While I frolicked with my wife, Sage trapped himself in his tower.

But it wasn’t over yet.

We didn’t find the girls that Shakespeare allegedly kidnapped.

They were not in the tower.

Because when Sosia and I entered it, there were only empty prison cells and ropes on the floor.

And the security system was weak.

“Ssosia.”

“Alright.”

Ssosia, having read my mind, waved her magic wand.

BRRRRRRR!

Sage’s squalid tower was reconstructed in no time, turning it into a “dungeon.”

“Sage is ideal for the role of a lustful sex maniac, considering his nose bleeds at the sight of alluring women.”

He was once appointed as one of the companions, which was amazing.

But now, I felt like he got the role that was originally intended for him.

The “Sage’s Tower” dungeon would start accepting stupid heroes next year.

“If we can find an accomplice who kidnaps women, our problem will finally be solved,” Ssosia added.

“It won’t take long. It’s time for the local spirits to investigate!”

Pop! Pop!

Spirits lived everywhere.

There were more of them than there were surveillance cameras in modern cities.

However, their knowledge was sketchy.

Just as we didn’t care about the lives of insects in our apartments, spirits took no interest in the lives of humans.

However, through their combined efforts, they would be able to gather enough information.

They just needed motivation.

“If you want to see the 2nd episode of your niece’s secret entertainment, Addicted Spirit, you better start gathering useful information.”

“Paid subscription for innocent spirits?! This is too much!”

The First Spirit seemed outraged.

“How can you spy on your niece’s private life, auntie?” Ssosia immediately exclaimed.

“My niece! Spirits are naive and do not know what that is! You were amazing yesterday, though! The way you arched… Hmm?!”

“Don’t remind me!”

While my red-faced wife covered her aunt’s mouth with her hand, the innocent spirits gathered information.

Soon enough, their efforts’ results came flooding in.

“Spirits are really naive.”

How could the First Spirit expect the 2nd episode if my cowardly wife didn’t like it?

“I never said I didn’t like it!”

“Heeheehee!’

“Stop laughing, auntie!”

“I’m just in a good mood, my secretive niece!”

“Oh…”

I immediately went to the place the spirits told me about.

Our accomplice was at the general store near the Tower of Sage.

Many reports from the spirits indicated that a female human kidnapped girls from the city and took them there.

We would soon find out who she was.

I opened the door of the general store and entered it slowly.

“Sorry.”

There was noise in the street with the townspeople and soldiers surrounding Sage’s Tower, but it was quiet in this one-stop-shop that could be found anywhere in the world of Fantasy.

They bought goods at a low price and sold them at a higher price.

Items that might be considered garbage by some might be someone else’s treasure.

“A customer? How may I help you… Huh?!”

Laying out her products on the display case, the shop owner immediately froze in place when she turned her head to look at me.

“This is our first meeting, charming lady, but did you recognize me right away?”

“N-no… I have no idea what you’re talking about, sir.”

FSKH!

The pretentious young lady ran away with incredible speed.

Bam!

However, she soon crashed into an invisible wall and collapsed on the floor.

“Give it up.”

“What the hell…” The shopkeeper became furious, though she calmed down as soon as she saw my Righteous Hero’s smile.

Ssosia came in next.

“Ah! You…”

Even my cowardly wife recognized her.

The shopkeeper’s face turned white.

Today was our first meeting.

That was for sure.

However, this wasn’t the first time this lady and I had spoken.

“What are you doing here?”

“…”

“The representative of the harem who threw the First Hero’s brooch in the trash can… Or should I call you a member of the faculty?”

“Eeeek?!”

Our future accomplice, who instigated Sage to commit this crime, wasn’t a bug or Lanuvel.

My instincts had already allowed me to deduce her real identity.

“Nice to meet you, Teacher Morals!”

She taught ethics and morality to inexperienced Heroes wandering in the world of Fantasy.

Our meeting gladdened me so much that I was at a loss of what to do.

“Are you sure you want to turn this meeting into a farewell this fast, hubby?”

“What? Oh! I’m sorry, Teacher Morals.”

I put her 4th lumbar vertebra back in place.

“There’s one more…”

“What do you mean, Ssosia? Are you suspecting me of something bad again?”

“Look at your left hand.”

“Ah, her 5th vertebra. This is a gift from my favorite teacher. You can even ask her yourself.”

“She’s passed out.”

“She just decided to sleep since she’s tired. If you want to keep your title as my most beloved wife, you have to look at the world with a little more optimism.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

“Being the first wife is difficult, but I can handle this!”

“…”

My wife’s euphoric state would probably last for quite some time.
