24 – Episode 24. Runaway Ninja vs Yakuza (6)
“Let’s stop here and take a break.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Y-yeah.”
Orphe’s trembling legs now seem like they’ve reached their true limit.
Did we spar for about three hours?
During the fight, I threw jabs like Delamion to prepare for close combat, so my fists feel a bit sore.
But Orphe’s physical endurance, which has been solidly trained, is quite good, so the sparring ended without any problems.
I didn’t even hit his face.
“I’ll take a short walk and come back. Stay seated.”
Actually, my bladder has been at its limit for an hour, and it has been ringing an alarm.
I was trying to say that I need some fresh air and sneak away without notice, but she was so serious that I couldn’t say anything.
It would’ve been a disaster if I had gotten hit even once.
I calmly walked until I was within Orphe’s line of sight, then quickly ran towards the nearby mountain as soon as I was far enough.
Whoosh!
“Phew.”
I took care of my business in front of a suitable tree.
“Peeew.”
From far away, someone must have witnessed something serious because an unpleasant smell tickles my nose.
Is it natural for public urination to be scarce in this day and age?
Public urination reminds me of my childhood memories.
When I made up my mind to live without caring about the opinions of others, there were a few serious considerations, and one of them was the availability of toilets.
Bodily functions are essential for all living creatures, but at the same time, they produce unsanitary and unhygienic substances.
So, in order to avoid causing harm to other primates, the humans on Earth created toilets to confine themselves in a small space and deal with their bodily functions.
In this sense, toilets were ultimately created because people didn’t want to be conscious of others.
Is it logical for me, who decided not to care about the opinions of humans, to use something created with that intention?
Logically, it doesn’t make sense.
I stood in front of a mountain gorilla, making that argument, and I was struck as if I had been hit by a rock.
After thinking about it carefully, I concluded that it didn’t matter because humans were not the ones who created toilets. It’s not natural to be afraid of what’s right.
“Nin-nin.”
Squish.
I feel drowsy after relieving my worries.
I can even hear the chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects…
“Nin?”
I can’t hear anything.
Even though I’m in the mountains.
Did the animals predict the war and move away in advance?
Is this the other world?
A chilling sense of unease wrapped around me.
Sniff, sniff.
When I concentrated and sniffed again, the unpleasant smell lingering in the air wasn’t the scent of human excrement.
There is only one type of creature that emits such a f*cking ominous smell.
Yokai!
“You f*cking bastards!”
Now I remember the explanation of Guild member Salaryman Bonyata.
In this world, animals immediately flee when they sense yokai approaching from afar.
It seems that the peculiar ultrasonic waves emitted by yokai disturb animals.
Come to think of it, it doesn’t seem like the ocule coexisted with other animals.
They’re little sh*ts like Saetton and Mukka.
I pulled out the ninja dagger from the scabbard and raised my pants.
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!
I followed the wind, heading towards the source of the smell.
– Ket. Ket.
– Eheheheh!
– Kkeaeaeaeaeaeaeang!
The sound of yokai’s cries drew closer.
It’s already well-known that the mischievous Jeyuk Cheonmawang, who disrupts Buddha’s practice by dancing a disco dance from the past, hates silence.
Yokai are born with the fate of always having to sing terrible songs to please the ears of Jeyuk Cheonmawang.
Now, the children of darkness who constantly create noise between floors have finally appeared.
Tatatatatat!
Monsters that mixed hyenas and cheetahs were running with their red eyes shining.
Just by roughly counting the ones visible, there were over 50.
What’s the rush? These monsters are leaping over rocks and riding through dense forests.
Where on earth are they going?
“Nin?!”
Their direction was clearly towards Goldon.
Could it be that they’re so hungry that they’ve gone insane and are going to attack as a group?
Whatever it is, it’s dangerous.
If those dynamic little creatures enter the still under construction castle gate, it’s obvious that a disaster will occur.
“Oh no.”
In an instant, I imagined Goldon turning into a butcher shop.
Yakuzaslayer turned into a tender steak and Diana’s barbecue with lizard meat.
Orpheus is currently exhausted, so I have to stop them alone.
– Watch out!
I yelled and jumped into the middle of their ranks.
– Huh?
These bastards glanced at me as if I were a retard and continued running.
Their gaze resembled the mockery of Earth’s humans.
A group of monsters resembling my little sister.
This is definitely a massacre.
“You bastards!”
Whack whack whack whack!
To provoke them again, I shouted and sliced off their pride.
Their heads rolling on the ground, with the same dumb expression on their faces.
– Kegat!
– Aeaeeaeng?!
A few of them rushed forward, venting their anger.
With their jaws wide open and claws raised, they looked quite intimidating.
“Charge and slash!”
In the end, they were just prey for my new technique.
Slice slice slice slice!
As I ran forward, I cut off the heads of the pursuers.
No matter how agile they were, they were not as fast as Delamion.
They were only a danger to ordinary people or third-rate warriors.
The problem is that most of the Golden soldiers are third-rate or below.
If even one of them enters the gate, more than four people will be seriously injured.
Whack!
“Take their heads, my friend!”
Thud~!
I kicked a jet kick into the head that was just cut off and spinning in the air.
Its jaw spun round and round.
Bam!
– Ouch?!
I didn’t mean to, but the guy who was running at the front got stuck in a pothole.
– Ouch!
Now the monsters that were attracted to me started running towards me.
“Alright.”
This is how it should be.
It’s abnormal for them to ignore me and run after the gold.
I wonder how delicious a treat I hid in the gold.
“-Slash in all directions.”
– Ohh!
“Slash in all directions one more time!”
Swoosh, slash.
I slashed up and down and left and right twice.
In an instant, the monsters turned into snacks for the kids.
“-Slash connecting in all directions.”
In succession, I rotated my body 180 degrees and sliced through the guys who were running after me.
Ninja blender sounds like a cooler technique name.
– …
Now, there were no more than ten of those guys left, and they took turns staring at me with a murderous gaze.
They’re so persistent, as if they’re not monsters.
They stand on the opposite side of the Buddha, who emphasizes reaching enlightenment.
“- None of you can escape.”
I swung my blood-soaked ninja sword with all my strength.
“- Because I’m standing here.”
– Heh heh heh…
The red light gradually disappeared from the eyes of those guys, who were retreating in fear.
Did fear push insanity away?
It’s an emotion I can’t understand because I’m always calm.
“Robin! I came to help!”
“Orpheus? Why did you pop out from there?”
Did the fighting sound get so loud?
“Hide!”
These monsters are not easy opponents for Orpheus, who is exhausted from intense training.
“If it’s hard to hide, climb up a tree!”
“But it’s hard to climb up a tree!”
Come to think of it, didn’t these bastards climb up any trees earlier?
Then what should I do?
– Ehehehe!
Those guys who immediately bare their fangs at Orpheus.
“Charge!”
I immediately rushed out and slashed a few of them, but the mobility of the spirits running around in all directions was too good.
At least three of them are definitely approaching Orpheus.
This can’t be helped.
“Orpheus! Now!”
“What?”
“It’s time to show the results of our training!”
Orpheus, who thought of “Instant Death Thrust,” had a flushed face due to the excitement of the battle.
“Inst…”
“That’s right!”
“…haap!”
– Hik!
No, damn it. What are you doing!
“You have to finish saying it! Let’s go for another one!”
This time, it has to succeed.
“Thru…”
“Where did you put your Instant Death?”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Hap!”
– Splat!
Two yokai died from a soulless ki strike.
This is an insulting act even to the defeated yokai.
“Oh, really. I’m going crazy.”
Swish!
– Ack?!
I dealt with the last one who was bewildered and didn’t know what to do.
“Why did you challenge me if you were going to do this?”
“But didn’t I win well?”
“Is the result that important? Do I seem like someone who would get angry about that? Why is your empathy so lacking?”
“…Sorry.”
A result-oriented person without blood or tears.
These kinds of people grow up to trample on children’s dreams, preaching about the “cruel reality.”
“I’ll try harder next time.”
“Well, you don’t have to apologize that much. You still did well.”
But if you apologize within 5 seconds, most things can be forgiven.
“Hmm.”
Orpheus, who had been looking around suddenly, furrowed his brow. Did his pride get hurt now that he apologized?
“Still strange. Look at this.”
“What?”
“The color of blood. It’s mixed with green.”
Orpheus pointed at each dead yokai with his finger.
“Maybe it’s because they’re yokai?”
“No. The blood of the Hyne is red. I’ve never heard of a Hyne that bleeds green blood.”
Orpheus flipped over the corpse of the yokai called Hyne with the tip of his spear.
Among the red blood, green blood oozed out, looking like slime.
“What did they eat wrong as a group? Did the yokai pick up some kind of poisonous seaweed and eat it?”
“…What’s seaweed?”
“Oh, you don’t know? Let me kindly-“
“-More importantly, who could have fed them this? For what purpose?”
“They were all trying to go to Goldon together earlier.”
“…Very suspicious.”
Something fishy is going on. Orpheus muttered something as if he had already caught on to something.
“Robin, this doesn’t seem like an ordinary situation.”
Is something happening?
