Chapter 32 – Hero, please help~♡ An orc who is uglier than the hero is chasing you~♡
We were able to cross the border right away thanks to the care of the head of the guard. People seemed to think that I had defeated the monster, and even though I was crossing the border out of turn, they shouted the word “Strength warrior” And liked it.
…Is this what it feels like to be a celebrity?
“Hero, why are you so messy~? Like an idiot♡”
“…I got compliments.”
When I answered honestly, the saintess smiled at her and said.
“Huh ♡ The hero seems to be hungry for compliments. I feel like a child♡”
“Isn’t it nice to hear compliments regardless of age?”
“That’s true, but he’s cute like a warrior… he doesn’t make stupid faces often~♡”
“…What was my expression like?”
“It was like a haggard goblin♡”
…f*ck.
What do I want from you? Just tell me your destination, navigation.
“…Where are we going?”
“In the neutral zone, there is a shelter village for those who cross the border. It’s going to get dark soon, so I’ll go there to rest today and return to the kingdom tomorrow.”
“I see.”
It feels like a highway rest area.
“How far do I have to go?”
“It’s not long~♡ Are you having a hard time?”
“That’s not the case…”
“Isn’t your stamina too poor, warrior ♡ Really, I need to train my stamina later.”
Damn it, listen to me.
“But I think living in a neutral zone like this would be a bit dangerous.”
Those were Chloe’s words. Obviously, if it’s a neutral zone, it doesn’t belong to any country. That meant that they could not receive protection from the country. Is it possible to live in a neutral zone in this age of monsters?
“You don’t have to worry about that. Both countries regularly patrol these neutral villages. There is also a separate vigilante group in the village.”
“Aha.”
“As I said before, in the neutral zone, high-level monsters don’t appear often, so it’s safe to do that. The Chimera we saw last time was an unusual case…”
Suddenly, the saintess stopped talking and stopped her steps.
“Saint?”
“Shh.”
The saintess told us to be quiet and then looked ahead. She moved forward cautiously, then she beckoned us to duck down.
I looked at Chloe and asked with my eyes. Do you know why you are doing that? Chloe shook her head.
First of all, as the saintess said, I lowered her waist and squatted down. And as she crawled towards her saintess, she said in a very small voice.
“See over there? It should be seen even in the poor eyes of the hero♡”
“…Green?”
There were monsters with green skin. A massive body and a head like a pig. And even the blunt weapon in his hand. It was one of the monsters I had already met.
“…Why is the orc here?”
“Seeing that the village is in ruins, there must have been an attack.”
“Yes? Was this a village?”
“There are the wreckage of buildings over there. The narrow-sighted warrior♡”
“…Ah.”
That’s right. I could see collapsed buildings behind the orcs. But how did the orcs destroy the village?
“Not ogres, can orcs build a village like that?”
“Uhm, it’s not that there aren’t cases at all, but it’s usually difficult to turn a village into a mess with only orcs. Especially since this town had trained vigilantes.”
“Then how did you do it?”
“Perhaps…A mutant entity capable of intelligently leading the orcs has appeared.”
“If it’s a mutant…you mean a mutant like the Nol Chieftain?”
“You remembered♡ I’m glad you got better than gorilla~♡”
“…Yeah.”
A mutation of an orc, or something like an orc champion?
“So what are you going to do?”
“…Since the orcs didn’t find us, there is a way to pass by and inform the kingdom army, but then you wouldn’t be a hero, would you?”
“Yes.”
If you leave behind a monster that has harmed people, would that be a hero? As if the saintess was satisfied with my answer, she said with a smile.
“Hero Hero, it’s been a long time since I’ve been training~♡”
“Yes?”
“I’m going to catch an orc today.”
Suddenly training here?
…Do you have time for that? You don’t have to kill them all.
“I think the time has come for him to feel how strong the warrior has become. I’ll bring some orcs in front of you over there, so deal with them without a blessing.”
“…Without a blessing?”
My body stiffened a little when I was told to deal with an intermediate level monster without a blessing.
“Don’t be too nervous♡ Even a lame hero should be able to handle mid-level monsters now.”
“…How can you be sure of that?”
“Do you not trust my eyes, warrior?”
“…Not really.”
“Don’t worry, prepare to fight the orcs. Chloe, you too.”
Chloe, who was next to her, was startled and pointed at herself.
“Me too?”
“You must help the hero.”
“…Ah, yes. Okay.”
The saintess tried to get up from her seat. I asked her
“Can I really do it?”
“…You can have a little more confidence, hero & Even if the hero is a sucker, Orcs are worse~♡”
“…I see.”
By the way, are you planning on taking a few of them to me and taking care of them all? I don’t want to take too long
I need to think about how to deal with the orcs. Maybe Orcs are much slower than Ows or Chimeras? Then the attack itself can be blocked…
“Yo, hero.”
“Yes?”
Chloe shook me as I was thinking about how to resolve the battle.
Why is that? Stop shaking and speak your words. I’m going to get motion sickness.
“…Isn’t that okay?”
“What is it?”
Chloe was pointing forward.
I looked ahead. And in my field of vision, a saintess came into her eyes.
The saintess approached quietly enough that the orcs didn’t notice, and lifted the orc’s blunt weapon that was lying on her floor. And just like that, they swung at the rice cooker they had placed on top of the firewood.
“Eight♡”
“Chwiik?”
The orcs’ precious rice cooker was broken.
In a situation that the orc couldn’t understand with her head, she looked at the rice cooker blankly and then saw the saintess. And the Orcs who grasped the situation started to get angry.
“Chwiiik! What are you doing!!!”
“Chwiik! Why are you breaking someone else’s rice cooker!!!”
“Kyaaak~♡ I got a face, but an ugly orc is chasing me~♡”
…It’s a crazy b*tch. What a crazy year
The saintess broke the rice cooker and ran to where I was at such a speed that it was almost impossible to be caught by the orcs. The orc came within range. He immediately pulled out his holy sword and cut down one chasing one.
Chack!
“Good job, warrior&”
The saintess passed by me, and the orcs widened their distance behind her on alert when her comrade was suddenly cut and killed.
“Chwiik!?”
“Chwiik!! Zekir is dead! The most handsome man in our tribe!!!”
…You guys all look the same, so what’s the point of looking good? Not even a league of their own…
From noble mtl dot com.
“Chwiik! Human, kill! Let’s kill it and give it to the Chief!!”
“Chwiiik! All right, comrade!”
Come to think of it, did you say that Orcs have a very deep camaraderie?
He knew that when he cut down an orc a while ago. Now, it is enough to pierce the skin of an intermediate level monster without a blessing. Then, as long as I fight well, I can deal with any number of orcs.
There were four orcs who pursued the saintess. One of them was cut down by surprise, so there are three left.
“Chwiik! Palup, tell the chieftain the news!”
“Okay, Chwiiik!!”
The orc called Palup seemed to be trying to inform them of the intrusion. Oh, what if
“Lightning Bolt!”
Pajijik!!!
“Chuiiik!!!”
“Chwiik! Palup!”
A bolt of lightning struck Palup. It was unlikely that lightning would suddenly fall from the dry sky… It was, as expected, Chloe’s magic.
“Thanks, Chloe!”
“I’ll tie him up! Hero, take care of those two!”
Okay. Two dogs are much less burdensome and good than three.
I’m worried if Chloe will be okay, but I don’t think I need to worry too much considering that I melted the ogre’s face the other day.
“Chwiiik! I can’t! We must kill this human and save the palop!”
“Chwiik! Right! You cannot abandon your comrades!”
…Why are comrades so close to each other on the topic of monsters. You feel like I’m the bad guy
The orcs slammed their blunt weapons on the floor. And roared towards the sky.
“Chuiiik! Orc warrior Froggalt! I will go to battle!!”
“Chwiyiyiik! Orc warrior Zaphod! I will go to battle!!”
That seems to be an orc’s only battle ritual. That’s interesting.
As long as it was honorable there, it might have been similar to an orc in Warcraft.
As soon as the roar was over, the orcs rushed at me. Speed not commensurate with his massive body. If it was the first time, I would have been taken aback, but I’ve seen speeds like this before.
Although it was fast for its size, it was much slower than an ogre, which was bigger and faster than an orc. Compared to Chimera’s quick attack, it’s almost crawling.
Maybe that’s why, the attack of the orcs could be seen so clearly. It was easy to figure out how to avoid it, since you could see where it would be swung.
“Chwiik!?”
“Chwiiik! To avoid our pincer attack, you are a seasoned warrior!”
I think it’s been about three months since I became a warrior to be a seasoned veteran…
The Orcs didn’t panic for a while, but regained their composure and continued their pincer attack.
If I hadn’t fought the ogre beforehand, it might have been difficult to avoid. That’s why each shot was heavy and threatening.
“…I can still see it.”
Suddenly, I felt the cut on the orc’s skin. The holy sword neatly cut through the orc’s forearm.
“Chwiiik!!!”
“Chwiik, Zaphod!!”
With his right arm holding his blunt weapon cut off, an orc named Pod stepped backwards, and an orc called Frock Galt stood in his way.
“Chwiiik! Protect your comrades!”
…I really feel like a villain. If you just swap races with me and that orc, you’re a soldier who protects your comrades from the orcs.
“Stop talking about the rumors that raiders are protecting comrades!”
I’m not saying this because I’m uncomfortable. Is it true
“Chwiiik! How dare you insult our comradeship!!”
“As for the monsters… Don’t raid the village or something!”
“Chwiiik! Noisy, human!!!”
Froggalt ran amok and charged at me. Do you think you are also stabbed by your conscience?
I think this one is better than Zaphod, whose arm I cut off a while ago. Still, an orc is an orc. There was no big difference with Zafford.
Hooung!
“Chwiik!? I-I avoided this…”
“Die, you green monster!”
Hook!
The holy sword thrown forward pierced the orc’s body very easily. A blade that completely penetrated the orc’s body protruded from his back.
“Chwi…Ik…”
I could feel Froggalt’s body drooping. He’s dead
“Chwiik! Froggalt!!”
Having lost one of his arms, Ford, enraged at the death of his comrade, took up his blunt weapon with his unaccustomed other hand and struck at it.
I also saw attacks wielded with my dominant hand, but wielding with my non-dominant hand…Needless to say.
As soon as I took the holy sword from the orc’s corpse, I blocked the blunt weapon with the back of the sword.
Boom!
…Orcs are strong too. I could feel the vibration transmitted from the holy sword. Oh my hands itchy
“Stop dying!”
“Chwiiik!”
When I hit the blunt weapon with the holy sword, Zapod quickly recovered his slanted body and swung the blunt weapon at me.
SeoGung!
Before the orc’s blunt blow shattered my skull, I first cut the orc horizontally. The hard blunt instrument flying from his left stopped near his shoulder.
With a thump, the large body of the orc collapsed.
“Chloe…”
I haven’t finished it yet. Of course, Chloe was fine, and the orc named Palob was in a state of disrepair.
I wanted to finish it quickly and go, so I approached with a holy sword and stabbed the orc in the back.
“Hero?”
“I finished my side. So I helped…was it remote?”
I felt sorry for stealing the last shot, so I asked. At my question, Chloe shook her head.
“Not at all! By the way, did you kill both of them already?”
“Yes. It was worth doing.”
As expected, dealing with strong monsters definitely makes you stronger. Of course, I’ve developed the same basic strength and stamina while training, so I’m sure this is how I grow.
Looks like your eyes are high and your strength is weak. He must have had a hard time not being able to pierce the orc’s skin.
…Ah, it’s a holy sword, so it doesn’t matter? My strength didn’t improve.
…Anyway, it is true that the saintess’ special training was helpful. My stamina has improved a lot, and my movements have become faster.
“Awesome, warrior!”
“It’s thanks to the saintess’ special training, well.”
Even if you say sh*t, training results are certain. She should at least say thank you to the saintess later…
“… Huh?”
“Why are you like this, hero?”
“…Where did the saintess go?”
“…Yes?”
There was no saintess.
“Saint!?”
Don’t do anything unexpected, damn it!! Where did you go!?
“Hero! There’s something over there!”
“Yes?”
I hurriedly ran to where Chloe called. A piece of paper lay where Chloe pointed.
[I’m going to look around the town for a while~.]
…Heh heh.
Speak and go, b*tch!!!
