"Spirits of water, become bullets that shoot the game! Splash Gatling!"

Bullets of water form midair. They drop on the Rigals.

The others around me do the same in succession; it cleaned up most of them but cost us a lot of Magic.

Even so, there are monsters still surrounding us.

"Dammti! There are too many!"

"Everyone! Calm down!"

"Hurry up and shoot more magic! We're making a path to the exit!"

Shouts fly about the room.

The monsters and classmates became jumbled up together.

We triggered the Monster House, and cause a group of us to panic.

"Those nearby the entrance, open up a way! Do whatever it takes!"

"Spirits of the flame,! Burn our enemies to ashes! Burning Wave!"

"Spirits of the wind! Cut us a path! Sonic Wave!"

The students near the entrance listened to my orders and started casting their strongest magic spells one by one.

Waves of fire and wind burn and slice through the Rigals, becoming light.

However, a wolf leaped and dodged the attack.

"Wha- Phage! What is that thing!?"

"It's a High Wolf! It's smart and strong! Be wary of its speed! That guy shouldn't be in this dungeon!"

Listening to Phage's advice, I focused my senses on the High Wolf.

The wolf snapped forth with its sharp teeth. I rolled to the side and quickly stood back up.

"Tch...!"

"Grrrrrr"

We glared at each other, unable to move.

Moreover, I finally figured out a way out of this place.

"You guys! Fire some light at me! Escape to the stairs after that! Got it?!"

The battle's become so intense, I didn't know if my orders reached anyone. But, I can't just do nothing.

Because, my own life is precious too!

"Oh sacred light! Shine the sun's light upon those shrouded by darkness! Shining!!"

Tossing up my right hand, the magic stored n a ball flew up into the sky.

A divine light, along with the sound of an explosion, covered the room. As the monsters houled in pain, I promptly ran to the stairs past the entrance.

Everyone else also did the same. However, a girl was caught by the High Wolf.

"Help! Somebody help!"

Nobody looked back at the girl's pleads, thinking only about protecting themselves.

"Ah, Shuri!"

"Oi, Satou! ...Tch!"

Satou, who was running beside me stopped and turned back. I smacked the back of her neck with the hilt of my sword and knocked her out.

I grabbed her and carried her out.

This is for the best. Throw the ones I can't use away, and keep the ones I can use alive.

"Hurry up! They're catching up on us!"

The blinding light started to dissipate, and the group of monsters started chasing out tails.

Crap, crap, crap, crap!

The fight till now drained most of my Magic.

Magic is your soul. The lesser it is, the harder it is to think straight. That's the only thing I want to avoid.

"Am I... Going to die...?"

"No! I don't want to die!"

From here and there I can hear sounds of despair and fear of death.

Their probably used too much magic and their minds have become weaker.

For us, looks like we can only use physical attacks.

How do I run from those guys... How?!"

"...Hm? Wah!? What's with this group!"

A healthy voice reached my ears. One not drowned in despair.

Looking up, I see Sakuragi(crap).

--I got a good idea. How to break through this situation.

"Oi! Sakuragi! Run to the staircase! At full speed! A group of monsters are chasing us!"

I ordered Sakuragi. With his personality he wouldn't refuse.

"Wha- You lie, dammit!"

As I thoughtm he ran towards the staircase. He probably was left behind trying to escape.

Crap ran towards the stairs in the shortest route. We quickly reached the staircase.

He tried to get up.

And this is the perfect timing.

"Thanks, Sakuragi!"

"Eh?"

He turned his face over in disbelief of my words of gratitude.

He stopped moving for a moment.

He was there standing still.

"Spirits of the flame! Burn everything! Fireball!"

I fired a fireball at him.

"Wha- Whoaaaa!"

Burning his clothes, he got surrounded in flames.

At this moment, he shouted in pain and agony.

"Everyone! Use this chance to get up!"

On my word the classmates climbed up　after me.

As my spirit was weaker, I coulnd't think of anything but escape.

The soldiers didn't complain of my errors. Only Phage looked towards me, staring silently.

"Is everyone here!?"

"Wait! I'm still here!"

The hoarse voice belonged to Sakuragi. Parts of his clothes were burned off.

Those parts had darkened skin underneath. Probably burned.

He tried to climb up the stairs on all fours.　The monsters were chasing behind.

"Shut up. You got an important role. Everyone! Help me push this guy down! That way the monsters won't come up!

"Wha-"

"Really!? Really!?"

"We'll live...?"

"We have to... Or we'll get killed!"

It was humorous after that.

One of them stopped Sakuragi's feet with Earth magic, and the guys pushed him down.

And then, without hesitation, they threw him into the monsters.

"Ah"

A stupid voice; a stupid face.

Sakuragi　readuly fell into the monsters, buried beneath. No sign of him was left in sight.

He would be eaten by the monsters to the bone marrow.

This was the best method I thought of.

To stop the demons, a bair was needed. However, us heroes can't be bait.

However, there's one. Our useless classmate, Sakuragi.

If it was the "Talentless Hero", the country wouldn't mind.『無能な勇者』のあいつなら国も特に気にはしないはずだ。

He has fulfilled an honorable role. The monsters are focused on eating him.

"See ya, Sakuragi. It's great isn't it; in the end you finally became useful."

I sealed the staircase with magic so that nothing could come back out.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

...Ugh... Where am I...?

I can't move my body. The memories are flowing in my head.

I was tricked by Samejima, became bait, and was killed by the monsters.

What a terrible life...

But, I guess it's fine. I was able to escape from those guys.

If I meet them again, no matter what happens I won't kill them.

Kill them just once. No, I'll torture them to death. Bring them pain until they die.

I'll crush their fingers, rip off the flesh of their feet and break their heads just as they did to me.

And then, I'll finally feel refreshed. I don't care what happens to me afterwards.

....... Hold on...

Right now, I'm conscious... Does this mean, I'm reincarnating to my next life!?

That's the only explanation!

This time I'll get cheat powers, and create a harem!

Even without that, at least let me marry and have an enjoyable life!

Alright, let's go.

Lets reincarnate in this other world.

I opened my eyes with that in mind.

I'm shocked. I thought they wouldn't open. However, that isn't the reason.

For some reason, what came into my eyes was-

"--Huh?"

The dungeon where I died, "Rigal's Den".
