「Is this a lucky sign or an unlucky one?」
I sit on the ground and throw the rock in my hand in front of me.
It bounces lightly and disappears in a crack in the ground.
Merely five minutes after leaving the walls of Rafen, a crack suddenly emerged in the middle of the radish field.
Of course, we were cautious with the insects still fresh in our minds, however nothing came out even though we waited a night.
Those who peeked inside said something glittered like a crystal deep in the hole.
「We can sell it if we retrieve the crystal.」
Celia says.
「A giant spider might say hello when we’re digging our way through.」
Carla jokes.
Crossing my arms and pondering what we should do, Nonna comes over in a carriage.
「The greedy woman has caught wind of it.」
「I heard something about a crystal!」
Pipi also rides over on a horse.
「We’re in the middle of a long trip. Come with us, chief.」
Claudia, who has completely become a black lustrous muscular woman, also arrives accompanied by a panting Clara.
「Ara, my beloved. Are you training as well?」
「Haahi……haahi……」
Lastly, Mel comes over with a lunchbox, thinking we’re having a picnic.
「Ufufu. It’s a little cold, but picnics are nice once in a while. Kuu and the others will be here soon too.」
Mel’s weight broke the limit of the earth beneath us.
An unpleasant sound rumbled under our feet, and the area around the crack caved in.
「「「「「Uwaaaaaaa!!」」」」」
The last thing I saw was the sparkle of the crystal.
「Aegir-sama, Aegir-sama.」
I slowly lift myself up when I feel someone shake my body.
Jumping into my eyes is the clear blue sky, the brilliant rays of the sun, and Celia.
「Cute.」
Celia giggles and blushes when I kiss her, only to shake her head twice and return to a more serious expression.
「This is not the time! Something terrible has happened!」
Now I remember. The ground under us collapsed, dropping us down.
Celia and I seem unharmed, but the others might have gotten hurt.
「Oh geez, how annoying. Wake up, Nonna!」
Turning to the sound of a splash, I see Carla pouring water from a canteen onto Nonna.
Nonna springs up and wrestles Carla with a shrill scream. Those two are fine.
「Haghmugh. Delicious!」
「Fufu, sorry it’s a little messed up.」
Pipi is eating Mel’s lunchbox.
They are also fine.
「Hup! Hmph!」
Claudia is repeatedly doing push-ups.
Next to her, Clara is holding her head.
「It looks like everyone is unharmed.」
I stand up with a sense of relief.
What an experience. For today, we should go back to the mansion.
I look to the side to where Rafen is supposed to be.
「Mu?」
Nothing is there.
The plains simply extend all the way to the horizon.
「It must be the other way. How pathetic of me to not know where I’m going.」
When I turn in the opposite direction, I come face to face with a dense forest.
The hole which we supposedly fell down isn’t at our feet either.
「……where is this place?」
「I don’t know. All of us also passed out……Pipi looked around earlier and she couldn’t find a single field, let alone Rafen.」
If Pipi’s eyes couldn’t see anything, then there must be nothing in the area for a considerable distance.
「Don’t tell me we were abducted and abandoned in an unknown place――!?」
Nonna turns pale, though I doubt that’s the case.
We are close to Rafen, and Pipi and Celia aside, it’s impossible to transport eight of us altogether.
To begin with, when the hole caved in, guards were in our proximity and farmers came to check.
「……」
I close my eyes and think calmly.
The ones here are the eight of us: Nonna, Carla, Mel, Celia, Pipi, Claudia, Clara, and myself.
I have no memories of the surrounding scenery and it feels like spring despite the season being winter.
Also, it was past noon right when I lost consciousness and somehow the position of the sun has reverted to when it’s just starting to rise.
「I don’t get it.」
I can’t figure this out.
「I guess all we can do is walk.」
Diving into the forest would be a bad idea, so let’s go in the direction of the plains.
「I want a horse. Still, it sounds fun.」
Pipi excitedly skips over.
Conversely, Nonna remains pale.
「T-this is scary. Appearing here all of a sudden……wait, it can’t be!」
Nonna and Carla exchange looks.
「「Did we actually fall in the hole and die……」」
Mel collapses in tears.
「This is heaven……aah, I’m sorry children. To lose both your mother and father at the same time……live strong……」
Celia wipes her tears and steps forward.
「I’m not scared if I’m with Aegir-sama.」
Pipi climbs on my shoulder.
「If I die, I have to return to the mountain. And I can’t see the mountain even when I’m on top of the chief.」
「Hmp! Hmp!」
「Madam, this is a serious conversation! Please stop doing squats!」
I tilt my head, ignoring Nonna who begins to argue how perverts can’t enter heaven, and Carla, who retorts by saying how big breasts would get stuck in the gates of heaven resulting in a trip to hell.
「Going to heaven now is a bit of a problem for me……although I’m sure that’s not it.」
I leap past the quarreling duo and grab a charging boar.
The one-meter boar is not particularly large, but it has sharp horns on its head.
If I didn’t react, Nonna and Carla would have been impaled.
「Horned boars don’t exist in heaven.」
I pick up the boar by its horns and slam it into the ground in a way that it can’t soften the blow.
Immediately, the number 200 pops up in my field of vision.
Simultaneously, I hear the sound of bones breaking and the boar lays motionless after twitching sporadically.
「More are coming. Nonna and Mel, get in the middle.」
Carla and Pipi take out their bows, while Celia draws her sword.
Claudia tosses her outer shirt off and Clara rides on her shoulders.
「Evil Fang? What is that……rather, there’s no time to worry about that.」
Carla mutters something and then quickly adjusts her aim.
A herd of boars numbering at least 104 appears.
Carla’s and Pipi’s arrows pierce them.
Each time, the numbers 10 and 20 pop up, so they’re not illusions after all.
Boars, which should either get defeated in a single shot to the torso or at least flee after getting hit, keep coming endlessly.
They have horns, meaning they are probably a class of monster.
「3 o’clock!」
「Boars are no match for my muscles!」
Claudia’s explosive kick lands, killing a boar and causing the number 150 to pop up.
「10 o’clock!」
「Too easy!」
A backfist lands, causing the number 120 to appear.
「They’re coming from all directions, use the spin madam!」
「Oh hoh hoh hoh hoh!」
She closes her fists and starts rotating.
Boars are knocked away one after the other and they eventually give up attacking Claudia.
「I don’t have a weapon but……」
I purposely lock eyes with a boar, inviting it to attack me.
When it charges, I casually counter before its horns hit me.
200, huh?
I dodge the next boar, kick it in the stomach and then stomp on it after it trips.
150 and 400, this is getting interesting.
In the meantime, Celia is the only one panicking.
「My sword……I can’t use my sword! Why!?」
Celia has drawn her provisional sword and is fighting with it, however her stance is childlike and weak.
Her swings are extremely sluggish too, she won’t be able to kill a pig, let alone a monster boar.
I run over to her, intending to help.
「Everything is alright, little lady!」
Reinforcements have arrived.
A man steps in between the boar and the slow-moving Celia.
He blocks the boar’s horns with a shield, knocks it off balance with a front kick and finishes it off with a stab to the neck.
The boar perishes, leaving the numbers 40 and 80 in the air.
A female wielding a spear flies in next.
「Eat this!」
Two rapid thrusts kill a boar.
She receives two number 70’s overlapped with each other.
As the final boar falls, Celia drops her sword.
「Thanks for the help.」
I say as I hug Celia.
「For some reason, I can’t use my sword properly, and my body isn’t moving sharply either. This isn’t my true ability!」
Celia trembles, trying to appeal to me.
I could tell at a glance something was wrong without her having to say anything. If she isn’t feeling well, I’d better look for a doctor quickly.
Another individual trails behind.
「Gosh, you two are too fast~ How do you expect a magician to match speeds with a swordsman and a spear user?」
This person seems to be friends with the other two.
She’s holding a staff that is as tall as her and wearing a triangular hat.
「Well, it doesn’t matter. More importantly, Celia isn’t feeling well. Do you know if there’s a doctor in the area?」
The three strangers look at each other.
「Let me take a look. ‘Open’.」
The female points her staff at Celia.
I instinctively step in front to protect her, but numbers and letters appear above Celia right as I do.
Then, the three of them laugh.
「Hahaha! You two need to get it together. Obviously, a bandit can’t move when using a knight’s sword.」
「Huh?」
I look at Celia, not sure what they mean.
「I’m not too skilled at using analysis magic, plus it drains MP, so you’ll need to display it. Since we saved you, that’s the least you can do. Hurry, open it up.」
Display?
Could she be asking Celia to display her body, I’m not allowing that.
I’m willing to show my crotch to her though.
When the three of them see how clueless we are, they ask us if we really don’t know, sounding genuinely surprised.
Various things were explained.
This world is called Eternal……Rami……Ranu……something.
Something about a so-and-so goddess and a so-and-so spirit, and then the god of the world gave the people his blessing for so-and-so reason.
There is also a demon king at the end of the world and the demons under its control commit evil deeds in different parts of the land.
「Your explanation is full of so-and-so’s.」
「Aegir-sama needs to be a little more cultured.」
Sulking as Carla and Nonna criticize me, I pick up Pipi.
「There are rules regarding jobs, skills, and stats, and not following them will result in a lethargic feeling similar to what happened to Celia earlier.」
「That sounds about right.」
The male swordsman nods.
「Is it the same when we see the 300 and 400 numbers after destroying an enemy?」
「Pretty much. But you shouldn’t lie about the figures. 400 doesn’t often come up unless you have a powerful skill or magic. Getting 3 digits to appear is almost like proof of a warrior. Just so you know, I have a skill that can easily get me over 400.」
The swordsman boasts as he glances at the number above our heads.
First is Celia.
「So you’re a bandit after all. Your preferred weapons are knives and your skills include acrobatics, throwing, intuition, lock-picking, presence perception……uheeh, you seem to be quite proficient. Your stats are high too. I don’t get how you’d blunder like an infant.」
「Who are you calling a bandit!? I am Aegir-sama’s adjutant!」
I glance at the numbers above the infuriated Celia’s head.
HP, MP, strength, durability, speed, dexterity, magic power, intelligence, luck……how absurd.
If I recall, the standard level for an average man is 10 and standard HP and MP is 100.
「Magic power is the only exception. It has no standard as it highly varies from person to person. By the way, mine is 80.」
The magician proudly sticks out her flat chest.
I can tell, even through her clothes, that her nipples are likely sensitive.
「Your most important attribute is speed. If this is high, you are in complete control of how you attack and run, and is a skill that determines your survivability more so than durability. By the way, mine is over 30.」
The female spear user adds.
She has a nice juicy ass.
With such a shape, I bet she’ll fall instantly if I grab her ass and slam my dick into her.
Celia has 60 HP, 7 strength, and 5 durability, which is on the low side, but compensates with her speed at 50 and dexterity at 40.
She surprisingly also has 35 magic power, 150 MP, 25 intelligence, and 70 luck.
「If you have 30, you can make a living. 50 is something I rarely see……」
With three times the amount of an average man, it can be considered a talent.
But as for this…
「Your status says ‘bandit’.」
「Even Aegir-sama is saying that!!?」
Celia pounds my chest with her fists in protest.
She has dropped her sword and equipped a knife, regaining her usual speed. That’s a relief.
「Err, next is……」
The swordsman’s eyes shift to Nonna.
「A noblewoman!? This is uncommon……her weapon is a folding fan. Skills are negotiation and charm……ah, naturally. That’s charm, alright.」
The swordsman averts his gaze from the giant mounds that are Nonna’s breasts.
「He stared at me shamelessly!!」
I intimidate the swordsman in Nonna’s place as she hides behind me.
Nonna’s stats are 40 HP, 150 MP, 2 strength, 11 durability, 2 speed, 5 dexterity, 20 magic power, 15 intelligence, and 50 luck.
「I’ll protect you, Nonna. Your true charm isn’t reflected in your status.」
「W-well, noblewoman isn’t a combat-focused job anyways.」
「The only reason her durability is high is because of her breast cushion.」
I look at Carla before she starts another argument.
「This lady is a hunter……her weapon is a bow, and her skills are animal detection, and outdoor actions, that’s great. Those are useful skills.」
「Oh, that’s why I could see the name of the boar.」
I check Carla’s stats, as she stands in front of me like she wants me to look.
90 HP, 80 MP, 10 strength, 9 durability, 20 speed, 30 dexterity, 5 magic power, 7 intelligence, 40 luck.
「Pfft, 7 intelligence! 7! Of course, Carla’s dumb after all.」
Nonna and Carla grapple and begin another scuffle.
「Pipi is next!」
「Err, this little lady is……ueh!?」
The swordsman’s eyes widen.
「I’ve never seen a barbarian tribe. Her weapons are a bow and a sword, and her skills are horsemanship, long-distance sight, and precise shooting……she’s a total specialist.」
Her stats are also distinct.
30 HP, 70 MP, 5 strength, 2 durability, 18 speed, 80 dexterity, 3 magic power, 4 intelligence, 30 luck.
「You should avoid close combat. Although with 80 dexterity, and the skills to match, you’re probably invincible if you have a bow.」
「Pipi is small and not good with a sword. I won’t lose to anyone in archery though.」
When I pat Pipi, she jumps on me from the front.
Pipi, you’re not wearing any underwear, so don’t open your legs too wide or else everything under there will be seen.
「Next is um……a stone statue?」
「My name is Claudia Albens Malordol.」
She firmly plants her foot, shaking the ground.
「Oh, a fighter……not a golem. Her weapon is her muscular body, and her skill is steel-body…… her stats are, yep, makes sense. They undoubtedly match her appearance.」
Let’s see……ah, I see.
「Oooh hohohohoho!」
「Madam, where do you really want to go……」
Moving on.
「This young lady is――」
「Ara ara, ufufu.」
Mel is instantly in a good mood.
I’m sure it has something to do with the 20-or-so years old swordsman calling her a young lady.
「A working citizen, no preferred weapon, her skill is motherhood――no, this is no good. Miss, you shouldn’t be leaving the city!」
「Oh my, I just wanted to have a picnic. I didn’t think all of this would happen. How troubling.」
50 HP, 150 MP, 3 strength, 3 durability, 2 speed, 14 dexterity, 10 magic power, 10 intelligence, 50 luck.
Certainly, her stats are not suited to combat.
Her dexterity should also apply more towards knitting than handling a weapon.
「Old lady, I understand wanting to mingle with younger folk, but you’ll just get in the way, so please……eek!」
The spear user’s inadvertent comments ticked Mel off.
For an instant, an unsettling skill with ‘murderous’ in its name appeared in her status, but it quickly went away.
Next is Clara.
「Err, this little lady is……an attendant? Attendant of a stone statue?」
「It’s complicated.」
The swordsman collects himself.
「A working citizen, weapon is a bell. Skills…mimicry, sounds dubious. And what does ‘boarding’ mean?」
It must be a skill related to piloting Claudia.
Her stats are 30 HP, 200 MP, 2 strength, 2 durability, 8 speed, 19 dexterity, 15 magic power, 35 intelligence, 40 luck.
Her mental strength and intelligence stand out as being exceptional. Perhaps she’s the cleverest, second to me.
Just when I think that’s all, the three stare at me.
「Let us take a look at you too, mister. Whether you are as strong as you look are just looks changes your course back to the city.」
I nod slightly.
「You with the spear, show me yours too.」
「Me? ……I don’t mind. Let me see yours then.」
Wonderful, we have a mutual agreement. I’m getting turned on.
「It’s not like I don’t want to show you. I don’t know how to display it……」
Apparently, it’s like concentrating and flexing your stomach, but the issue is that I haven’t gone to the toilet yet today.
I can’t tell whether the heavy feeling accumulated in my stomach is a fart, a skill or something else.
If it’s the ‘something else’, my MP will become zero.
「Hurry~ Bring it out~」
If you say it in such a sweet voice, another thing will pop out.
Celia and Carla abruptly look up.
「Aegir-sama.」
「Something is coming.」
Celia and Carla react at the same time.
「Nonna, Mel!」
I chase after them.
I saw how low the girls’ HP are.
HP is like life energy and if it reaches zero, it means death.
The only one I don’t have to worry about is Claudia, who is like a stone statue.
「I’ll be in front. How long are you going to stand there vacantly?」
The group of three spring into action and assume a stance with their weapons.
They somehow made it in time.
Dozens of boars emerge from the forest.
We should have moved elsewhere promptly.
「But their movements are monotonous. No matter how many there are――」
I borrow the sword which Celia couldn’t use and hold it in front of me.
However, the boars pass right by us on the side.
「……what the?」
I sigh after getting psyched up and rest the sword on my shoulder.
As for the three-person group, they don’t lower their weapons, and even start sweating.
The female spear user speaks first.
「N-not good. It looks like they came into contact with us.」
The swordsman says.
「Damn, the possibility was there location-wise, I took things too lightly. I should have realized when more than ten ungrouped Fangs appeared.」
The magician says.
「We can’t run now. Mister, your group should also be prepared, as even if you’re lucky, some might not make it out alive.」
I hear large footsteps from the depths of the forest.
With each thump, branches rain down on the ground.
The tension builds.
And then an enormous 2-meter long boar emerges with a ferocious squeal.
But a giant hand immediately grabs the boar’s hing leg and drags the beast down.
「There it is――an ogre.」
The 2.5 m tall ogre has dark red skin.
Horns protrude from its head and unlike an orc, the orge’s body is a mass of muscle.
The ogre pulls the thrashing boar like it’s a puppy and tears it apart by its legs, then rips out its innards.
「Oh my goodness……so the reason why so many Fangs came out was because that thing was hunting them.」
The magician trembles.
I want to comfort her, but I think it’s better not to do anything unnecessary for now.
Another ogre appears from behind, dismantles a boar with its bare hands and devours it, bones and all.
「They don’t discriminate between boars or humans. If they catch us, we’ll be eaten like that too.」
The swordsman smiles fearlessly, but he’s actually sweating and shaking.
「Are they strong?」
The spear user answers.
「Ridiculously. If it was just one, the three of us can even the odds, but two of them is too much to deal with.」
Unfortunately, a third and a fourth also appear.
「That’s why when they notice us, use that timing to run. Still……I doubt you can get away. I’ve seen them catch up to and eat someone with 30 speed and the acrobatics skill.」
It’s hard to understand based on numbers.
This world is not suited for me.
「So all of us should scatter in different directions all at once. Sadly, I don’t think the citizen or the noblewoman can escape. If they capture you, you’ll probably be raped and then eaten. Before that, I suggest to stab yourself in the throat with a knife……aau.」
I flick the magician’s forehead and stand.
That instantly draws the attention of the four ogres to me.
「W-what are you doing!!? At this rate, everyone will――!」
I give the sword a test swing and rest it back on my shoulder.
「They’re not going to rape anyone or eat anyone. Just watch me right there.」
The women reply without showing any anxiety.
「Are you sane? You too! This is four ogres we’re talking about! They’re opponents that can crush knights!」
The spear user shouts.
「Honestly, I’ve never fought an ogre before.」
「That’s even worse! You fool! Surely, you have 5 intelligence or less.」
I’d appreciate it if you didn’t make such a cutting remark from behind.
Well, in the worst case, I can buy some time for them to run away when things get ugly.
I rush at the ogre with the sword still on my shoulder.
「Was it that unexpected?」
The ogre loses its balance.
It probably assumed that I’d run and tripped on itself.
It didn’t think I would actually charge forward.
「This can be a preliminary test.」
I lightly swing my sword.
The ogre raises its arm to defend, and although blood squirts out, my slash wasn’t deep enough, slicing off merely a layer of its skin.
「Rrraaagh―!!」
The ogre roars as it swings its arm down.
Having anticipated that, I didn’t fully step forward, and I was able to dodge by hopping backwards.
「Fumu.」
A second ogre approaches from the side and attempts to grab me.
I also anticipated this and leapt forward to evade its hand by a hair’s breadth.
「I see.」
A shadow looms over my head.
Another ogre raises a log that still has signs of it being a tree and prepares to bring it down on me.
I roll out of the way of the powerful slam.
「Watch out!!」
Celia warns.
The last ogre steps in, but right as it does, I slice its toes and make it trip.
「I get it.」
I reposition the sword in front of me.
「These guys aren’t fighting. They are simply predating.」
They don’t hide their movements or mix in feints, they simply run in the shortest distance possible towards their target.
They’re only thinking about catching and eating us.
「That’s obvious! It is said that ogres have 10 times the HP and 30 times the strength of a human! They aren’t enemies that you can confront directly!」
I see, 30 times, huh?
The ogre once again raises its arm.
I block the rock-solid arm with both of my arms.
The impact sends a shockwave through my spine and causes my legs to sink into the ground.
But I don’t get squashed.
It’s not a blow that is powerful enough to kill me.
「Is this what 30 times strength feels like?」
I grab onto the ogre’s arm.
It tries to throw me off but it isn’t able to.
Why? The answer is easy.
「Because I’m stronger.」
I send my fist firmly into the chin of the stumbling ogre.
200, I guess it’s because of the height difference, mitigating the power of my punch.
I follow up with a front kick to the leaning ogre’s leg, crushing its kneecap.
100, well it’s not a life-threatening strike.
「My real aim is this.」
As the ogre falls forward, I let out a shout and thrust my sword into its chest.
My thrust included a twisting motion, and I also added a kick to the butt of the sword.
400, finally I got 400.
Still, being big, that thing isn’t dead.
I yank the sword out and plunge it right into the white of the ogre’s eye.
500, I remove the sword from the defeated ogre, satisfied with my highest record.
「Next――woah.」
A log comes swinging
But it’s slow. If I can see it and feel it before responding, it’s meaningless as a surprise attack.
Instead of running, I charge forward and deeply cut the ogre’s right arm.
The log drops to the ground, and the ogre lets out a hoarse groan.
「So loud.」
I slash the source of the noise.
Dark blood jets out from the ogre’s throat as it collapses to the ground.
「Now then, two remain――woah.」
A pillar of fire engulfs the ogre targeting me from behind.
The number 300 appears as the ogre writhes in pain.
「Now!」
So the one who did it was the magician.
It’s rather flashy magic, but the damage is lacking.
「Yaaaaah!!」
The female spear user unleashes consecutive thrusts.
She connects multiple times, though the numbers that pop up are no greater than 30.
The swordsman jumps in for a finishing attack.
「This is secret swordsmanship that I polished for ten years! Lightning Splash Bomber!!」
His sword aiming for the ogre’s face starts to emit light and the impact sends chunks of flesh flying.
The ogre perishes, leaving the number 600 in the air, the highest number so far.
「How was that!?」
I knock down the swordsman right as he grins.
「You idiot!」
I run past the 50 that appears and head towards Nonna and the others.
Because these three moved up, the other side is vulnerable.
The final ogre spreads its arms and runs at them.
Pipi and Carla do their best to fend it off with arrows, but only achieve the numbers 5 and 10 on the wall of muscles.
Celia is looking for an opening with her knife, but that ogre is not a foe she can manage.
Just when I think that I’m barely not going to make it, a black shadow rams into the ogre.
「Munbaah!」
Claudia tackled the ogre from the side.
Her black lustrous body was able to topple the ogre.
「You’re a lifesaver, Claudia. I’ll make love to you tonight until you faint.」
I exert all my strength into a full-powered swing of my sword right onto the ogre’s head.
The number 1050 is displayed as the ogre’s head goes flying.
「Eeeh……」
For some reason, the swordsman falls to his knees dejectedly.
The next time you commit an error like that, I’m going to beat you half to death and steal your women.
「Anyhow, at least we defeated those four――」
I instinctively turn around right as I open my mouth to speak and swing my sword.
The blade collides with and shatters a massive rock, which also breaks my sword at the same time.
The rock fragments scatter all over the place and a sharp pain shoots up my arms, but I can’t cry about it.
Coming from where the rock was thrown is a new ogre……this one is a special one.
「Master Ogre――it’s a monster with an A-rank bounty.」
The female magician mutters.
「Y-you’re kidding. Didn’t the information say it was in Tema’s cave……」
The spear user doesn’t notice when I fondle her trembling ass.
Clearly, this thing is giving off a dangerous aura.
And that rock had to weigh at least several hundred kilograms. It was able to easily throw that rock 100 meters.
The level of strength can no longer be measured based on a human’s standard.
「Run. We can’t fight that thing. This monster is for a party of tens of veteran adventurers to challenge.」
The swordsman says.
I don’t mind running.
It’s not like I’m desperate to defeat that thing.
「Ah……ah……」
As the swordsman gradually retreats, the master orge prepares to throw another rock.
「No……noooo……」
Someone lets out a sad voice, but there is still some distance away……
I turn around and see Nonna crying.
She is holding a hand to her cheek, shaking in fear.
「My face……my face……」
She’s bleeding.
A rock shard must have grazed her earlier.
My heart throbs and I hear a sound like the flow of my blood is reversing.
At the same time, my vision dyes red.
「A scratch……on my beautiful face……my perfect face……if it leaves a scar, Aegir-sama will hate me……aaaaah.」
「Don’t call it beautiful yourself. Let me see……come on, that’s not a scratch. It’ll go away if you just wash your face.」
「Oww……there’s a bump on my head from Nonna-san heabutting me. Isn’t my injury more serious?」
「My HP decreased by 1!」
「I’m more concerned about rough skin. Of course, I’ve been eating sweets and drinking sugary tea in the middle of the night.」
Carla, Mel, Pipi, and even Celia are talking about something that I can’t understand.
All that my mind focuses on is Nonna’s wailing.
「How dare you do that to my Nonna……how dare you put a scratch on Nonna’s beautiful face.」
I glare at the master ogre.
It throws the boulder at me, but I don’t dodge.
I spread my arms to block it, and then deflect it straight up.
「I’ll tear you apart, women-injuring low life!!」
No other words come out after that.
Only roars escape my mouth as I charge at the enemy.
「So that’s frenzy……I heard it’s a crazy skill but this is the first time I’m seeing it.」
I make a bee-line toward the enemy.
I slip past or deflect any incoming rocks.
I don’t retreat or detour.
The master ogre gives up on throwing for the fourth time and swings its arm at me instead.
I deliberately let the arm come down and receive the blow head-on.
It’s heavy. It’s probably five times stronger than the ogre.
Normally, I’d be overpowered, but anger fuels my body and pumps up my muscles.
「Gaaaaah!!」
I push its arm back up, causing the wicked red eyes of the master ogre to widen.
Oh, are you surprised?
「I’ll kill you.」
I clench my fist and wind up before releasing the punch.
My aim is the center of the master ogre’s stomach.
Its eyes sparkle with a grin.
A blow from a human could not possibly affect its steel-like muscles.
I’m sure that’s what that guy is thinking.
「Let’s test it out!」
My fist sinks into its stomach.
Its rock-hard abs creak, the skin rips, and I feel the insides collapse.
「Gaaahhk!!」
The master ogre groans as blood mixed with stomach fluid is coughed out of its mouth.
「Only 500!?」
Anything is enough to get me angry at this point.
As the ogre leans forward to vomit, I grab its ears and launch myself toward it for a headbutt.
400, the number is smaller, how interesting.
「I’m here to assist. I don’t know how effective my Lightning Splash Bomber is against a master ogre’s muscles, but sitting and waiting for death is not an adventurer’s……」
「How did that feel? Did it hurt!?」
I bend my body back and whip it forward again for a second headbutt.
700, still only that little?
「T-that headbutt is stronger than my 10 years or practice……?」
I ignore the voice behind me.
Once again, I bend my body back and launch forward for another strike.
950, I’m almost in the four-digits.
The ogre claws at my face out of desperation.
I can tell blood squirts out.
「I see, you don’t like the headbutts, huh? Fine, I’ll spare you.」
I grab the orc’s extended arm and rip off three of its nails, then straddle its torso.
What I’m going to do is a staple of all brawls, pummeling the face.
My fists rain down on its eyes, nose, mouth and all over its face.
200, 250……I don’t care about the numbers anymore.
I don’t simply focus on increasing the number of strikes.
Each blow has enough force to destroy its face.
A tooth chips, its cheekbone cracks, and its nose caves in.
Still, my flurry doesn’t end.
Finally, I clasp my hands together, raise them up and bring down a hammer fist with all my might.
The ogre’s entire face is crushed with a dull thud and its limbs no longer struggle.
「Acheiving 4-digits with close combat? ……what sorcery is that?」
I don’t answer the swordsman and stand up, letting out a roar of victory.
Frightened birds fly away and small animals scurry into hiding, while any trailing ogres abandon their weapons and flee on all fours.
For some reason, all my clothes ripped, leaving me naked.
「The durability of the clothes ran out……h-huge.」
I come back to my senses when I notice my missing clothes.
And, if I remember the earlier conversation, Nonna seems to be okay too.
「Are you sure? I’ll tell you upfront that the master ogre’s drops are worth an eye-popping amount of money.」
「I don’t mind, you can have it. In exchange, tell us more about this world.」
We are way too unknowledgeable about this world.
Just like the thing earlier about the durability of clothes, that’s outside my comprehension.
I don’t want to suddenly lose my clothes in the middle of town and be treated like a pervert.
「Then why not form a party with us? You are absurdly strong, but there are 8 of you in total, making it quite unbalanced. I’m not bragging, but I think the three of us are a well-rounded team. We can help.」
Fumu, I don’t know how long we’ll be in this world, however looking after 7 others in an unfamiliar world……actually, it’ll be 6 excluding Claudia, but nonetheless, it’ll be taxing.
「I will follow Aegir-sama’s decision.」
Celia stands up straight next to me.
「I’m fine with it. I hate to be constantly protected, but there isn’t much I can do if another monster like that thing appears.」
Carla stretches.
The swordsman sneaks a peek at her belly button.
「I’m against it. Especially because the swordsman kept looking at my breasts every time they jiggle, it makes me scared.」
When I rest a hand on the swordsman’s shoulder, he straightens his back.
「I’m in no position to say anything. Since I wasn’t of any use……」
I hug Mel and give her kisses to cheer her up.
「Uuwah, the old lady is bold.」
I hold Mel back from stabbing the spear user with Celia’s knife.
「Pipi is fine with anything. This place is vast and fun. If I had to say one thing I want, I would like a horse.」
Oh right, didn’t Schwartz drop down together with us? I don’t see him.
「I will follow my beloved.」
Clara mounts Claudia and also nods in agreement.
「We’re fine, but what about those two?」
「Ah, I don’t think they’ll say no. Right?」
The swordsman looks at the other two females, but it seems both have mixed feelings.
「Well, I’m not totally opposed……it’s just I don’t know this person well enough yet.」
「Can I talk to him a little? We’ll just go over to that cave and chat. It might become complicated so you can wait here.」
The two women walk off, pulling me along by the hand.
I hear the voices of the swordsman and Carla behind me.
「Are those girls your ‘you-know-what’?」
「Oh, the magician is my lover. The one with the spear is a childhood friend and probably has feelings for me, but since I can’t date both at the same time, I’m pretending not to notice them.」
Carla’s voice softens.
「I see. Here, let me pour you a drink. Since they’ll be doing a different kind of pouring over there.」
「If it’s just refilling a drink, I can do it too. They’ll be filling up plenty over there.」
Celia chimes in kindly.
「Oh, thanks. And what are you to him? I feel a bit sorry.」
「Here, let me pour for you too. By the way, are you already in that kind of relationship?」
Mel joins.
「Haha, that’s not allowed until marriage. A woman’s virginity should be saved for the first night of marriage.」
「「「Poor guy.」」」
「Fuu……fuu……we’re finished talking……I think our compatibility is perfect, especially from the back.」
「Haa……haa……Aegir-sama, I mean, Aegir is such a rugged and splendid man. I can’t believe getting pinched from behind would make me squirt so much……」
The two comment, wiping sweat off themselves as they each hold one of my arms.
「I’m glad. Then the formation of the party is official! Wait, your necks have been stung repeatedly by bugs, are you alright?」
「It’s fine. More importantly, let’s return to twon quickly.」
「Oh gosh, it’s dripping.」
The two shove their underwear in my pocket at an angle the swordsman can’t see and glance at me with moist eyes.
「Aegir-sama!? Your body-」
Suddenly, my body shines and begins to fade.
「Hey, I think I’m ascending to heaven. Is it because of overdoing it until I’m refreshed?」
No, Celia and Nonna are also experiencing the same thing.
I smile at the surprised swordsman.
「Sorry, looks like the party has to be disbanded. We’ll be returning to our original world.」
「Original world, what does that mean……hey, what’s going on……」
The two women jump out from behind the swordsman and grab onto me.
「W-wait a second, does this mean we’ll never see each other!? You can’t be serious after taking my virginity!」
「I already can’t survive unless Aegir teases my nipples! You’re horrible for developing my body and leaving!」
「Huh? Huh?」
Things will get out of hand if they continue, so I respond with a smile.
「I’ll return someday.」
The two give me parting kisses as tears run down their faces.
「I’ll be waiting」
「Hurry back, darling.」
My consciousness goes cloudy and the world gets engulfed in light.
「Alright, let’s get moving. Should we do a Big Toad elimination quest next?」
「Before that, I want to buy a new spear first. It’s near the limit of its durability.」
「Eh? Eh? Wait a second. Why did you two kiss him? And what is that stuff dripping down your legs?」
Rafen Outskirts
「Gueh.」
I wake up from a suffocating pain.
It makes sense, as I see seven people lying on top of me.
No, six of them are not a problem.
It’s Claudia that makes it hard to breathe.
「Urg.」
「Aau.」
Everyone wakes up one by one.
Looking around, the guards, the field and the usual city walls are there.
「That wasn’t a dream, right?」
「Well, unless we all saw the same dream, then no.」
It can’t be possible.
I stretch.
「Shall we go back?」
「Before that.」
Nonna takes my outer garment off.
「You cheated in front of your legal wife like it was nothing, didn’t you?」
「That was a dream. Saying that won’t change anything.」
Carla takes my pants off.
「Cheating is fine, but neglecting me is not.」
「I forget what I said in a dream after waking up.」
Mel takes my shirt off.
「Did it feel good to pour your seed in that girl who called me an old lady multiple times?」
「I don’t remember, I think it felt tight.」
Claudia takes my cloak off.
「Ohohohoho.」
「Say something that has meaning.」
Pipi steals my underwear.
「Pipi wanted to join too!」
「She was a virgin, so there was a lot of blood.」
Celia gives me her handkerchief as a gesture of mercy.
「Sorry. I got jealous. I’ll clean up afterwards.」
「Thanks, Celia.」
Clara silently comes over.
Though she has nothing left to take.
「Ehehe, sorry.」
Clara rolls up her skirt in front of me, clearly showing me her precious place.
After letting me see what she wanted me to see, she runs away.
Because of her, my penis is nicely erect, unable to be hidden by the handkerchief.
Rather, my dick creates a tent, making it way more perverted.
「……should we go home?」
I walk along after my clothes get stolen, naked with just a handkerchief on top of my erect penis.
I immediately hear calls of ‘pervert’ and whistles from the guards.
Despite running to try and catch them, I’m unable to build up any speed with the thing in between my legs getting in the way.
I try to play it off by telling the frozen guards that it’s just a fetish and walk all the way home while getting weird looks.
