51 – Bomb Remark
“Then, I will guide you.”
“Okay. Let’s hurry.”
Everyone in the Herbivore Corps had to return to the city before dark.
Unlike carnivorous beastmen, herbivore beastmen did not have very good night vision.
Considering that there are quite a few nocturnal monsters, the risk of remaining active until evening was too great.

However, because there were a lot of materials to be transported to the city, time was somewhat tight.
Then, while I was talking with Niyor, I stood up and took Evie with me.
If you have a lot to carry, you can call someone to help you.
The intention was to find meat-eating warriors somewhere and lend a hand.
[Anyway, it’s fascinating. I had no idea you had that ability.]
“I didn’t know either until I talked to Niyor.”
[Then, can you understand what the bird sitting over there is chirping?]
“Um… To what extent?”
[What are you saying?]
“I want to reproduce.”
[Ugh!]
The reason I understood Niyor’s words a little while ago was thanks to the language knowledge I acquired while transferring to this world.
It was a bit surprising that he was able to understand the ‘ummm’ sound that even members of his own race could not understand, but since he was able to understand language through magical powers in the first place, there was nothing particularly surprising about it.
If he concentrated, he could communicate with animals, so it would be an ability perfectly suited to a druid.
I decided to just accept this as a blessing from God.
“Gaul. “This may be a presumptuous question, but is it okay if I just leave the members behind?”
At that time, Evie, who was ahead of me, stood next to me and spoke.
Of course, I was also worried about the members I left behind.
However, I was not worried that the members would be in danger like Lee B.
There are 22 monster-like guys gathered together, so why worry?
More than that, there was a greater concern that the members would lose their temper again and run wild.
I glanced at Evie’s legs and saw her nod.
“I’m worried that you’ll go crazy and step on other monsters to death.”
“Well, that is!”
When I mentioned the hideousness of the herbivorous members, Lee Bea was visibly embarrassed and stuttered.
Then she pulled down her rabbit ears to cover her face and started repeating the excuses she had made earlier.
“Didn’t I clearly explain it to you earlier…?” “I was just motivated to work hard.”
“There’s no need to kick a monster that’s already dead.”
“That… Isn’t experience important no matter what? I tried to learn the feeling of kicking to prevent minor mistakes….”
“Pugh! OK got it. “It’s nice to see you working hard.”
“Ugh….”
According to Lee B’s argument, the herbivorous members’ rampage is said to have originated from ignorance and sincerity.
I didn’t know how hard I had to hit him to kill him, so I just did my best to beat him, and he actively took action with the mindset of doing his best anyway.
It was a bit far from polite, but it was a grand party that happened because he was a prisoner of Cheongcheongyeongwol.
Of course, the motivation and attitude of those herbivorous members were not considered bad.
It was true that it was helpful in battle, and that was something that was expected from the beginning.
However, too much ambition may one day cause harm.
Because it was my first hunt, I will just ignore it this time, but from next time, I will have to control extreme behavior through strict orders.
From now on, we will have to cooperate with the carnivore members, and if things remain this mess even then, it will cause problems in many ways.
“It’s good to work hard, but keep in mind that safety is the top priority in everything. “I plan to make you warriors, but I have no intention of forcing you to make sacrifices.”
“Yes… “I will pass this on to the members as well.”
“And instruct me to crack down on this incident. “It will be a pain if the elders find out that we hunted a monster.”
“Yes. “Please leave it to me.”
Luckily, Evie was someone I could communicate well with.
It was a bit of a burden for him to handle alone, but with a vice-captain like this, it would be possible.
We walked through the forest discussing the herbivorous army.
It was some time later that I discovered Kaa, the warrior leader of the Meat Eaters.
* * *
“I really don’t like how things are handled. “I would have ordered the tunnel dug by the monsters to be immediately destroyed, right?”
“That…” It seemed like an empty tunnel, so I left it alone….”
“I don’t want to hear excuses, so please stop. “If another monster nests here, will you take responsibility?”
“Sorry! “I’ll take care of it right now!”
Kaa was finally found and was scolding his subordinates, pointing out a problem.
He must have been tired, but his tone of voice was sharp, and his expression, which used to show a soft smile, was extremely dark.
The atmosphere is different from Kaa, with whom we joked during the day.
Since the girl I saw always looked kind, Kaa’s overbearing attitude felt unfamiliar.
She was so embarrassed that I stopped and couldn’t talk to her. Then, the girl who was sitting on her shoulder patted my cheek and said,
[Gaul. Didn’t Kaa say she was an easy girl? Rather, she seems like a very difficult woman?]
“So… “I’m so scared I can’t even talk to you.”
I strongly sympathized with Piyi’s words and nodded her head.
What makes her look like such an easy woman?
My mother-in-law said it all! And if you pull it, yay! I had promised her that she would be hugged, but she suddenly got what Kaa is now! She pulled and went and she popped right away! And it seemed like her counterattack was coming.
Her confidence drops rapidly and she becomes somewhat sullen.
But even if I can’t seduce her, I still have to do my job as the herbivorous leader.
I tried to keep a calm expression and turned to Kaa.
“Ah, Ghaul! “What brought you here?”
At that time, Kaa found me and spoke as if he was quite surprised.
Her ears perked up and her tail lightly wagging. And even a welcoming gesture with a gentle smile.
In the blink of an eye, the Kaa who had been scary to her just moments ago had returned to the kind Kaa I knew.
What is it? It certainly looked like a wild wolf just a moment ago, but now it feels like it looks like a cute puppy.
As I stopped walking with that thought in mind, Piyi tilted her head and expressed a question.
[Isn’t it? Is Kaa an easy woman after all?]
I had similar questions in mind, but this time I couldn’t agree to it out loud.
That’s because Kaa, the person involved in the story, was standing right in front.
I shrugged the shoulder on the side where Piyi was sitting as a sign to pay attention.
But it seemed like it was already too late, as Kaa looked at Piyi and asked softly.
“Hmm? I’m an easy girl. “What does that mean?”
[Huh?]
“Why are you saying that? “If it’s okay, would you mind letting me know?”
[Ooh, that’s not what we said….]
“Then who on earth said that? “Tell me where the story came from.”
In response to Kaa’s direct question, Pii poked my cheek.
Judging by the situation, it seemed like it meant ‘Help me!’
Then I tilted my head and gently pushed Piyi’s body.
It meant, ‘I don’t know, so make your own excuse!’
Phi wriggled her body back and forth in response to my harsh rejection.
And after a while, Piyi said [Eight! At the same time as shouting, “I don’t know!”, He started pouring out bombshell remarks.
[Well, that’s what your mother Lua said! Kaa is an easy girl, so if you seduce her, she will easily fall for you!]
“Yu, temptation?! “What on earth are you talking about?!”
[Gaul wants to seduce you and make you his wife! This guy said he would too! I take responsibility for burying my face in her tail!]
“Ugh! Didn’t I say it was an accident! “There is no need for you to take responsibility!”
[Ah! I don’t know! Just get married! I don’t know anymore── Eup! Ugh!]
I hastily dismantled the story bomb by covering Piyi’s mouth.
But too many stories had already come out.
Kaa couldn’t keep her mouth shut with her new red face like her apple. Evie watches with her rabbit eyes open as if she is interested. And even her subordinates stopped her movements in astonishment.
As I looked around, the reactions were extremely diverse.
It feels like the situation will become unmanageable if we remain silent.
I shouted instructions to everyone to change the direction of the story.
“Well, that’s not what’s important right now! Our newly formed herbivorous group discovered the corpse of a monster? But we can’t move the materials because we don’t have enough workers! “I would like some help from you, but can you cooperate?”
“No, more than that, what were you talking about just now?”
“─Thank you! After all, Kaa, there is only you! Evie? Then, would you please take the warriors here and go to the capture site right now? I need to stay and talk to Kaa. “You can go back without me, right?”
“Ah! Yeah! Well, don’t worry!”
Fortunately, Evie, who was quick-witted, jumped around and caught the attention of the carnivore members.
Some of the carnivore members couldn’t contain their curiosity and kept giggling, but it was an instant before the supporting actors around them left and only the main characters remained.
“… ….”
“… ….”
[…] ….]
In the autumn forest dyed red.
Me and Kaa. And a hot and cool atmosphere began to spread between Piyi.
The first to speak after breaking the silence was the story bomber, Piyi.
[…] … If I apologize now, will you forgive me?]
It’s so absurd that I can’t even laugh.
I shook my head firmly and expressed my denial.
Then Piyi lay down on my hand and started screaming loudly.
[Then I won’t apologize either!! Do whatever you want, you bastards!!]
hehehe. See this guy?
“Come on, it’s war.”
I will drain the fluid from your eyes.
