53 – Orc speaking Korean (2)
“Leon?”
As I spoke with the orc in a language I couldn’t understand, Miya’s mysterious voice asked.
“Are you talking to an orc?”
“Ah. I’ve learned it before.”
“… Orc language?”
The nuance of what nonsense you are talking about.
It’s Korean, not Orcish, to be precise, but it’s something that Miya, the native of this fantasy world, can’t explain.
“Uh. I’m interested in the monster language.”
“It’s surprising.”
As I look around, she looks at me with curious eyes.
In fact, it wasn’t that there weren’t people learning the monster language.
Avoiding that line of sight, I raised the demonic sword I was holding and held it in front of the orc’s nose as I spoke Korean.
“I’ll ask again. Why does an orc speak Korean?”
“Chwi, chwiiik! Da, do you really know how to speak Korean?”
“Is it you?”
Doesn’t it sound like it’s strange that I speak Korean?
“Chwiik! Just in case, are you Korean?”
“If you’re talking about the Republic of Korea on Earth, yes.”
“I-I can’t do this…”
An unbelievable look.
The red-skinned orc let out a trembling voice.
“Chwiik, uh, how can an ‘outsider’ be Korean?”
“An outsider?”
“Everyone, I’m talking about someone out of this world like you. Chwiik.”
In this world, are you referring to the inside of a special dungeon?
Well, for this orc, the special dungeon was their world, so an outsider like me could be called an outsider.
“So, how can an orc write Korean so natively?”
“Of course! Yes, I am Korean! Chwiik!”
“…?”
What are you doing?
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more absurd bullshit in my life.
As I stood there with a puzzled expression on my face, Miya, who was next to me, tilted her head and asked.
“What did this orc say to make that face?”
“What kind of person was Ji?”
“……What nonsense is that?”
“That’s what I want to say.”
I spoke to him while holding my forehead.
“Because I’m not doing anything racist or anything like that? But bastard, you don’t look human to anyone.”
“Chwiik! I can’t help it! What kind of crazy person in the world would want to be an orc? I was originally a human too, Chwiik!”
“……What?”
“Chwiiik, that’s all! It’s because of that crazy goddess! Even if that goddess b*tch hadn’t blown away Yang Baek-ho…”
“Why does my name appear there?”
“?”
When my name pops up out of nowhere to express a question, the orc makes a stupid face.
“I beg your pardon?”
“No, so. Why does my name appear there?”
“Chwiik? I don’t know your name?”
“What bullshit. You just said that. Even if only Yang Baek-ho hadn’t been blown away.”
“…?”
puzzled face. Shaking its head from side to side, the red-skinned monster that had been thinking for a long time looked up at me with a look of astonishment.
“Chwiik… Seo, no way… Are you Yang Baek-ho…?”
If you tell me something like a nickname that has been attached to me, it will be clear.
It’s embarrassing to say with my own mouth, but I can’t help it.
“Earth’s only SSS class Awoken.”
“The only human with over a hundred traits.”
“The only Awakener who was stripped of his membership due to a great fight with the Korean Awakened Association.”
“And, one of the few people who can communicate with the goddess.”
“!!!!”
“I think that’s enough. I’m ashamed to say more.”
“I-I really thought it was Yang Baek-ho…”
The sitting orc lowered his head and began to tremble all over.
Then, kneeling respectfully in place, he opened his mouth with his fists clenched.
“……sir…….”
“sir?”
“Baek Ho-nii-im!! Please save us!! Chwii-iik!”
The red orc cries and grabs my trouser leg.
“…”
In that shocking scene,
Miya and I are at a loss for words.
*
Orcs are usually named with the ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, etc. of some tribe.
However, he introduced himself as Korean.
The name of this orc was ‘Kim Minjun’.
A nostalgic three-letter name that I haven’t heard in a long time.
It was a common name for a common surname in Korea, so I couldn’t help but believe that he was Korean.
“What kind of food did you like when you were in Korea?”
“Chwiik. I liked chicken for fast food and kimchi stew for Korean food the most. I can’t eat it now, but… Chwiik, I hope to try it again someday.”
“You’re Korean.”
If you choose 10 Korean soul foods, these are the foods that will be included in it unconditionally.
Not an orc wearing a Korean mask,
That he was a Korean in the mask of an orc.
“Then what? How can a human become an orc?”
“Chwiiik…. While Baekho-nim disappeared, a lot of things happened.”
“Your becoming an orc is part of that many things.”
“That’s right, Chwiik. For more details, I think you should ask the captain rather than me, who is not very smart.”
“Do you have a captain?”
“Of course. According to outsiders, he would be a chieftain. Probably, Baekho-nim is also familiar. Chwiik.”
it’s a familiar face
“Chwiik. By the way, what happened to Baekho-nim?”
“That’s… it’s a bit long to explain.”
“Then, you can tell us at once in our village. Chwiik.”
“That’s right. It looks like we have a lot of information to exchange.”
Miya and I followed a red orc named Kim Min-joon who led the way.
“What you see over there is our village, Chwiik.”
I guess it took about thirty minutes.
In the distance, he could see the village where the red orcs lived.
Despite the considerable distance, the various facilities they built are clearly visible.
There were even several five-story buildings built like villas on Earth.
“That’s an orc village…?”
“It seem to be like that.”
“Aren’t you really one of these guys? Some kind of curse made you a monster or something like that.”
“I felt that way too. After talking with him, he seems to have the intelligence of a human.”
“really?”
“Uh. I’m not perfect at Orcs, so I can’t explain it properly, but that’s for sure.”
‘Although I’m better at Orcish or Korean than anyone else.’
She murmured with her eyes shining, as if she had become interested in the orc whose head was like that of a human.
“Didn’t I have to learn the Orcish language…?”
“Arthur. It’s hard to learn.”
The language of any country is similar, but it takes a very long time to decide and learn a foreign language.
Especially Korean.
Rodenberg imperial language had the same word order as English, ‘subject + verb + object’,
Since Korean is in the order of ‘subject + object + verb’, there is a high possibility of confusion from the beginning.
Besides, fools like Miya,
It seems more difficult to learn.
“……What does that look mean?”
When I look at her with a strange gaze, she narrows her pupils and says questioningly.
“It doesn’t mean anything.”
“You must have thought I was stupid, right?”
“What. A mind reader?”
“Hey! I’m the first grader with the highest entrance score?”
“It must be limited to the Faculty of Engineering. And in the Faculty of Engineering, practical skills are much more important than written notes.”
“still……!”
“And I didn’t have the entrance exam. If you included me in order of grades, you’d be pushed to the second place.”
“……Uh……”
She pouted her lips as if she had no words to say when she poured out the facts.
Let’s walk a little while chatting like that,
Two orcs who appear to be guards block our path.
“I’m Minjun, teachers. Chwiik.”
“human?”
“Kim Min-joon brought someone.”
Unlike the little orc before me,
Those who don’t make the breathing sound typical of orcs.
The muscular orcs, who looked bigger in Kim Min-joon’s stomach, glared at the small orcs with their ferocious eyes.
“You must not know that it is a rule that outsiders cannot enter our village, right?”
“Everyone, of course I know. Chwiik.”
“I know, did you bring it?”
The orc guard added the words, “Do you want to die?”
“What are they like that don’t make that unpleasant breathing noise unlike you?”
“It’s because they’re Class A Awakeners, Chwiik.”
“Does Orcs have Awoken classes?”
“Chwiik, of course. If you become a strong Awakener like them, you will be able to speak properly, Chwiik.”
“You talk about us.”
“What are you doing, Kim Minjun?”
The more ferocious muscular Red Orcs.
However, the little orc was not very scared.
He answers by pointing at me with his index finger.
“Yang Baek-ho, I brought Yang Baek-ho! The only SSS-level Awakener on Earth, that Yang Baek-ho!”
“Are you telling me to believe that?”
“Did you wake up less, Minjun?”
“Really!”
“He died a long time ago.”
“No matter how good Yang Baek-ho was, he wouldn’t have survived in this world.”
“And look at what it looks like. How is that Yang Baek-ho?”
“Even the hair color is different. Have you been brainwashed by that outsider?”
Two Awakened Orcs take out clubs in the form of a wooden beam from their waists.
“Hey, big guys.”
I guess I have to step in from here.
“Don’t bully the strict guy, if you’re going to take a hit, do it with me. I have the business, right?”
“……Korean?”
“How can an outsider speak to us!”
Surprised orcs.
I took a demonic sword out of my waist and took a step toward them.
Then, the orcs shrank their bodies with a wary look on their faces and took a posture.
“I don’t know why humans use our language.”
“If you fight, you’ll break limbs.”
“Breaking limbs? You guys? Me?”
“of course…….”
“These are crazy bastards.”
Laughter comes out of nowhere.
In the past, everyone shuddered when Yang Baek-ho appeared.
It seems like a lot of time has passed.
“Bae, Baekho-sama…!”
“Get out of the way.”
“J-Calm down! Let’s talk first! Yes? Please…!”
“No shit, those bastards are pissing people off right now. Get out of the way?”
“Baekho! Jebaal!!”
“Stop.”
cooo!!
A roar that rang the heavens.
Something that fell from the sky caused the surrounding ground to shake violently as if an earthquake had occurred.
“Very, Captain…”
The guard orcs who blocked me stared intently at that place, trembling all over.
A dirt floor with a huge hole like a crater on the moon.
With the mighty aura rising from there, I gave strength to the hand holding the sword.
“That man is not your opponent.”
That heavy bass that resonates with the soul.
I felt the adrenaline rushing from the depths of my body.
Tring!
[‘Demon Sword: Jealous Snake’ warns you that it can be dangerous!]
Know.
The fact that that gigantic orc that emerged from the dust was strong enough to make my skin tingle.
However, I have no idea that I will lose.
“Now I can relax a little bit.”
No matter how strong that orc is,
Because I will be the one standing last.
