『Buhiiiiiii~』
After the unexpected break, a group consisting of six Orcs and one High Orc has appeared after we resumed the survey.
Knights in pairs take on the Orcs, while the『Dragon Breath』party engages the High Orc.
Although Allen and Elena are here, I confront the Orc alone.
There’s only one opponent, after all. There are no problems.
「《Wind Cutter》」
I quickly cut its head off, case closed!
Orc has a large body with great power, but its movements are slow so it’s easy to defeat. All you have to do is aim and shoot. A big body means big target.
Easy peasy!
「Haa~!」
As for the Knights, one person attracts the Orc’s attention and the other person strikes at it.
I just quietly watch, ready for a follow-up anytime.
However…… They way of fighting is completely opposite of me who can only fight with brute strength.
In the first place, I didn’t do any other exercises back on Earth than running (I wasn’t fast by any means). I was not athletic at all.
Un, I was a klutz. What a sad thing……
In ball games, I was catching the balls with my face~ It’s all old memories now.
Iya~ moving freely is splendid! I could avoid any ball now!
I know I can’t help because I never had any interest in things like these, leaving me with limited knowledge.
Allen’ and Elena’s fighting style is strong, should I learn a bit from them? Dojo… is there a place like that somewhere~
There should be a place that teaches basics. Let’s look for one next time.
「Oriyaa~!」
「Buhiiii~」
Ah, looks like Wald-sama and others defeat all of the Orcs. There don’t seem to be any injuries.
「Haaa!」
「Buhiiiiiii~!」
Oh, Rudolph-san’s halberd beheaded the High Orc.
With the High Orc’s cry of agony, Rudolph-san shouts not losing to the Orc.
「Uwa!」
When all Orcs are defeated, Rudolph-san looks at me with a stern expression. Then he suddenly asks while grabbing my hand.
「Takumi!!」
「To instakill an Orc… just who are you!」
Even if you asks me that.
Moreover, the others also didn’t take that much time to deal with their opponents.
Why are you grabbing my head?
「「Uu~」」
「Allen, Elena. It’s all right. Wald-sama how about releasing your hand? The two are wary of you」
I’m being bullied? The two probably thought so and let out cute growling noises.
Hearing my words, Wald-sama notices Allen and Elena clinging to my sides while glaring at him. He awkwardly releases his hand.
「Allen, Elena. Look, I’m okay, calm down please~」
For now, I pat the two U~ u~ growling kids’ heads.
「To have that done to him and be alright!」
「No, that was serious. I can tell. That was a considerable amount of power」
「Right. He’s not normal」
Because I was held with all his strength, I felt pain. However, I have a physical attack resistance. Moreover, it’s MAX’ed!
Hey, you guys…… I can hear you.
They are certainly not wrong. I’m a God’s retainer “Human?”. You are not wrong, but…… that’s somewhat rude.
「Wald-sama and others also didn’t take much time to deal with their opponents」
「No, I have raised by one rank, so I’m an E-Rank now」
Adventurers normally start at F-Rank, right? Then, they steadily improve they rank.
I’m not a fraud!
「Doesn’t change the fact it’s stra~nge!」
So cruel……
「Rudolph-dono! I will contact Guild Master too, but once we return, please tell Guild Master to raise this fellow’s rank immediately!」
「………」
Oya?
「With a high ranker’s recommendation, the Guild Master can raise one rank to some extent」
Rudolph-san who saw my bewilderment explains.
Something like skipping grades? I see, so there was such a system.
Probably, even though Syl knows basic information, he isn’t aware of small details like this. It’s not necessary for him, after all.
It wouldn’t be bad to raise my rank, right? The extent of requests I could take will increase.
Maa~ Rudolph-san said he would talk to the guild’s top so I should probably just wait since they will be contacting me?
「First of all, let’s clean up. Fuse, Cain. Rudolph-dono and others dismantle the High Orc. Collect as much meat as you need. Others take the Orcs」
People start dismantling on Wald-sama’s orders.
First, the magic stone.
High Orc’s materials are same as Orc’s, magic stone and testicles. Also, it’s skin is used for protective gear.
Also, both have an enormous amount of meat.
This is a problem. Several of 3~4 meters tall Orcs leave behind quite a lot of meat.
Unfortunately, in a case like this, we can only secure enough for us to consume.
「Yosh, we are done. Then―――」
And, the rest is burned, so they don’t turn undead.
―――Normally, they would be burned, but……
「Wald-sama」
「Have you forgotten? With me, we can collect everything」
In my《Infinite Storage》the meat won’t spoil.
『Ah!』
He seemed to forget because he’s not familiar with it yet, but the time stops in space-time magic. It should be known that time stops inside the《Infinite Storage》.
Because it would take a time to dismantle, I just stored everything inside《Infinite Storage》 just like that.
「Nevertheless…… to think there would be a group so close to the town」
「What do you think, Rudolph-dono?」
It seems to be rare to encounter a group half a day distance of the town.
Wald-sama and Risner-sama confirm the situation with Rudolph-san.
「Umu. I have a feeling that the atmosphere in the forest has been quieter than before……」
Rudolph-san’s meaning isn’t “it’s calm”, but “it’s quiet before the storm”.
「Captain, it might be better to investigate this carefully」
「Yea, I agree. Let’s move with more care from now on」
We advance further to the forest while cautious.
