Episode 39. Incubus Awakening (4)
Chapter 39. Incubus Awakening (4)
“Wow!!”
I hurriedly took out the water from my bag and gulped it down. To be honest, the food the goblins brought for me was unhygienic and, above all, tasteless.
“… Sigh.”
It weakens my heart when I see the small shoulders of the goblins drooping weakly. But it doesn’t really taste good.
They treated me like a boss. Of course, I don’t know if it’s because of the characteristics, but it’s quite extreme.
Fortunately, I have food in my bag, so I’m fine right now. When I lowered my gaze, I saw a dark green soup.
“Woo-wook.”
At least the fish you brought might be worth eating. Kinda no rode a lot First, I calmly counted the number of goblins staring at me.
“Not a small number. Not that many.”
Okay. After the demon lord was subdued, the number of monsters decreased a lot. The warrior party also played a role, but there must have been adventurers who admired them.
It was possible to infer that there must have been a blow here as well. Fortunately, it was far from the capital, so the damage was not great.
“But what lies deep down there?”
They are starting to look at each other to see if they understood what I was saying. At first glance, it may seem shy. Why are you anxious?
“Chilling?!”
“Kik-look. Chill!!”
It seems that he doesn’t want to show it for some reason. Instinct sounds a warning that it is dangerous. I don’t think there’s anything good to see, but you should know.
“No. It’s okay, so show me.”
Anyway, are they all females? At first glance, there were no goblins that looked like males. I was wondering if it was close to the same.
Maybe it’s a setting that fits well with this world view. But couldn’t there be human men inside? hahahaha.
“… Hmm.”
Uh. Is it true
[System: As a Commander, You can command low-level monsters.]
If it wasn’t for the commander skill, I don’t know what would have happened to me. I stood up from my wooden chair and gave instructions.
“… Guys, show me around there too.”
Soon after, a large goblin holding a torch began guiding us. We went deep into the cave together, checking from time to time to see if I was walking well in the dark space.
A lot.
Why does it give me goosebumps the more I go into it? To be precise, it was close to a physiological rejection.
I felt a chill run down my spine, knowing that they would never hurt me. My heart thumped beyond pounding.
“Huh. Whoops. No.”
“Don’t worry. Stop.”
A clear human voice. It was clearly the voice of a man crying.
Uh. Did you come in for nothing? I feel like I’ve heard something I shouldn’t have heard.
“… Uh?”
Fragments of clothes lying on the floor like rags. A smell you don’t want to know.
“Kik-look. Kiruruk!!”
I slowly raised my head at the goblin’s words, which were roughly interpreted as having arrived. And what you see
The men lying naked and the goblins riding on them.
“What is this?”
There were even goblins who were full. What. This feels bad
“What I am looking at. This is right?”
I slowly looked into space. As if showing off, the status window was instructing me on a mission.
[System: As a high-ranking monster, you must lead an army capable of fighting the Empire.]
[System: Occupy the empire by reviving the demon army.]
If you don’t do this, there’s no point in saving you.
That’s your role.
Instead of being endowed with strong traits, he is a complete villain.
“State. Please kill me.”
“Stop. It hurts. Now stop.”
The men’s eyes have already become cloudy. They were like corpses that had already lost their vitality.
I looked at the goblin next to me. My lips were wet with an indescribable feeling.

A dark evening. A peaceful village that maintains a clean natural environment was just like any other day. At least outwardly.
In a shack that was run down, a young-looking man between a boy and a young man was sitting alone in the corner. The good news is that the dried wood that was barely obtained burns to create a warm energy.
His body was full of bruises and scars. It was the remnants of blatant violence, beaten by someone.
However, unlike Hungi, his heart was extremely cold. Because today was the last day of his life.
“Sacrifice yourself for the village.”
“Wait a minute. Chief, that means….”
“I took care of you until you became an adult.”
This morning. The village headman approached him and pronounced the sentence. As an old woman, she was like a terrifying grim reaper.
The last ration of bread was hard and crumbly. There were even bugs. The pay I received for working all day was far from adequate.
But hunger is more painful. Even though I ate it while barely melting it with my saliva, it was so delicious that I shed tears.
Generally, the monsters that cause the most damage to rural villages are goblins and orcs who kidnap men.
At first, I was going to hire adventurers. However, as he had to pay a considerable amount of money, the head of the village set up a security organization with the women of the village.
Except for that.
Her mother passed away in that accident. It was a natural result since it was not a combat type.
After the problem. That the head of the village made a different choice. It was a very terrible method, but it was possible to obtain temporary peace.
It is to dedicate men to goblins at regular intervals.
Starting with a man who has no family to protect him. Even if you have no money or are single. After herself, her hands would probably reach out to boys as well.
“Actually, the town budget was generous.”
The woman who brought up this story has gone missing. Thanks to the head of the village, who even boasted that she knew someone in the capital, people kept the problem quiet.
The problem is that we gradually get used to a false peace. People no longer had remorse or guilt.
The master of bystanders. Now it’s her turn to be tomorrow’s sacrifice.
“I hate it. Scared.”
As her father said, she may have had to leave the village long ago.
But how could she have left her father alone? My father’s funeral, which had been suffering from anxiety, had only recently been completed.
Thump. Thump.
I hear a knock on the door. Anxiety crept up.
“… Who, who are you?”
I asked as I clenched my trembling hands. A callous woman’s voice was heard immediately.
“Just open it.”
I don’t like it. The moment I was ignoring it.
“Otherwise I will break the door down.”
A menacing comment that is no different from usual. My heart ached at the bullying, which was worse than the day my father was alive.
If only there was a woman in the house. I will not be treated like this.
Yes. Tomorrow is the last day anyway. What else would you do if those who harassed you came in? Couldn’t get any worse than this.
As soon as I opened the doorknob, girls my age and a few boys came in.
They were the ones who bullied him. Ever since childhood.
“Hey, I heard you will be offered as a sacrifice tomorrow?”
“How pitiful. How do you feel?”
The girl who was giggling laughs. As the second daughter of the village headman, she has a fairly violent and rough mind.
“On a dirty and filthy subject.”
“Hey, can you eat this?”
“Don’t play with him.”
Adults standing by. No, I rather sympathized with the bullying done to the powerless. While relieved that they are not his family.
There were days when I dealt with them by using their attributes or powers. However, he always brought a sister or an adult to punish himself.
“Puhik!! It looks good.”
“Looks like a guy who ate the sprouts.”
Because I have no strength. Because I have no money and I am powerless.
“I’ll be the goblin groom tomorrow anyway. Let’s do it with me before that.”
“Woo-wook. Do you really do it? He doesn’t wash.”
“Right. Do you wash him? I smell it.”
“But. Men have limitations. Can I start with you?”
Women approaching. It was already too late to run away.
“What are you saying? Last time you did it first.”
“Keukkeuk. We are much better than being raped by ugly goblins.”
“That’s right. Can you say thank you quickly?”
I just stay still. He gazed at them calmly with quiet eyes.
Perhaps adults know this too. Perhaps even earlier offerings. Perhaps.
Honestly, right now, people look more like monsters than goblins.
The approaching filthy touch. I don’t bother spraying it.
I slowly closed my eyes.
⁕⁕⁕
As soon as the day dawned, they were put into the prepared wooden prison. The village chief and the villagers pretending not to know.
Looking at that scene, I thought.
Maybe he was like that too.
On the one hand, I prayed in my heart. It won’t come true though.
If you have the power. If God really exists.
I want to destroy this village right now.
He said he wanted to take revenge on those who burned down the village and bullied him.
If that’s the case. I will laugh at those who run away to my heart’s content.
However, it was too powerless to achieve that goal. Its characteristics are also insignificant, it’s just a catch skill.
Of course, if the prayers I had been praying up to now had come true, they wouldn’t have been offered as sacrifices from the beginning.
“That, that. What?!!”
“Crazy. Hey, isn’t that a goblin?!”
“I can’t see the chief. You must have been there!!”
“No way. Didn’t that bastard run away?!”
The bewildered villagers murmured nervously. When I realized that something was going wrong, I quickly grasped the situation.
He also begins to see something through the wooden bars. Green goblins caught in sight. Ironically, I wasn’t afraid.
Unlike them, one side leads the palanquin. The human man sitting on the mount had a striking appearance at a glance.
At the border of the village, the man got off the palanquin. Everyone held their breath the moment he raised one of his arms.
A devilishly dazzling and beautiful man shouted.
“Kill the women and rape the men.”
The goblins said that.
“Keee!!!!”
“Kick! Chilling!!!!”
Cheers and rushed into the village.
