Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 459: Back of the Head Wounds

"This monster is paralyzed, so to speak."

Baron's explanation continues.

"So if you stab your hands and feet with a sword, you won't feel any pain and you won't move. However, as you can see, we are wearing iron shackles that have been specially made just in case, so you can't actually move your hands and feet."

As the baron explained, some of the thick coffin lids shifted could be confirmed with heavy iron shackles bracketed in the hands and feet of the cannibal giant moving the bouncing bridge.

The frightened and nearer aristocrats must have been relieved to see how it went.

They are curious people who gather in response to the call of freaks and the famous Baron.

I don't even try to hide my excitement in front of the first man-eating giant I see up close.

"This is the man-eating giant... what a horrible fang you have"

"Look at the thickness of that arm, isn't it more than a human torso...?

"Your nostrils are a lot bigger. Perhaps the sense of smell is developing."

Are you afraid to touch me, or just no one to come into contact with?

However, more people have approached the monster than earlier and have attempted to ascertain its physical characteristics.

One of them said.

"... that nose, isn't it moving?

Like a ghost, the humans around you stop moving and stare at the ugly faces of the man-eating giants.

Double the size of a human being is a big head. Square jaw. Sharp fangs grown toward the top.

And the crushed nose upwards is indeed showing a hint of hiccups and slight movements.

"Ugh... it's moving!!

When someone screams, the audience quickly opens the distance from the coffin so that the tide draws again.

The baron raises his right hand to draw attention to what it tries to make a big fuss about.

"No, no, no. Don't worry. As you can see, this guy is not dead. I am breathing. But I don't want to open my eyes. We have not allowed that evidence to take any water or meals since we captured them. Because I won't wake up. As you can see from the torso, the ribs are emerging step by step. He's about to starve to death."

"Starving to death..."

starve to death while asleep. Speaking of man-eating giants, he is a monster with a name from where he is said to eat all the humans he meets, with his bottomless appetite.

I won't wake up until such a monster starves to death. Is that the case?

"The secret is this."

The baron roughly puts his arms in the coffin, painstakingly turning the head of the cannibal giant to the side, so that the audience can see the back of the giant's head.

"Tubes...? And the stitches?

What people saw was a trace, from the back of the giant's head to his neck, like a stitch with thick thread after being cut open with some kind of blade, and a tube that grew from his neck.

And the tube leads from the giant's neck to the inside of the coffin.

"This medicine contains several times the amount of pain relief we talked about earlier. Keep it directly in the monster's head through this thin tube. This tube is a tentacle of a certain blood-sucking demon, and it has a mechanism that makes blood irreversible, so it's suitable for these kinds of applications."

The baron's pale explanation and the nobles who praised the baron until earlier seemed to be losing words about what to call the God shown in front of them a fearless undertaking.
