Living in this World with Cut & Paste

Episode 22: Oak Settlements (1)

The day after I got rid of the Adventurer Guild, I came to the woods behind the town in search of an oak.

Because I thought there might be people with different names, like goblins, to make money.

A battle with Lyle was a good lesson.

Even though I stumbled upon my surprise, it also proved that I could win if I usefully used my opponents and even my skills.

Now that I'm alive, I've come to the conclusion that I should still have as many skills as I can.

That's why my skills are like this.

It's the first time I've fought an oak since I took [ten times the experience gained], so I'm also very excited about it.

With that in mind, we go deeper than usual as we find the herbs, collect them and defeat the sheep.

And the trees disappeared ahead of us through the steep gradient, and suddenly we discovered a place with better views.

The sight spread before its eyes….

"Oh my God..., the orc settlement is here..."

What an oak settlement I found.

How many of them are there...?

Or I should have realized this possibility sooner.

In the first place, there was no such thing as an oak in this forest in the past.

But when I defeated the oak the other day, I was slightly thinking that I happened to be lost.

The first battle, the first victory, the emotions of joy that emerged from what I said were overshadowed by the questionable emotions of "strangeness”.

I met an oak in a place like that because the oak lived here and built a settlement.

No, this... there's no way I can do this alone.

Whatever you think, it's a case to report to the Alliance, this is it!

Scout the settlement [with enhanced vision/medium] while deciding to make a retreat.

"Does it feel like about 40 people I've seen all the time...... hmm?

Counting the numbers to the big mess, I saw a human figure in the settlement for some reason.

”Dokun!" My heart rattles loudly.

Oh, that's... a human woman!

A human woman in an orc settlement... naturally I know what that means.

No, we don't have time! Going to the guild now won't help her...... me...... I'll have to do it.

I made up my mind.

If you decide to do so, you have to act quickly! Desperately look for the guy who's away from the herd.

I found it! If it's three wrapped up but three, I can handle it!

It's an oak with a different name, I knew I was there! And he even has a high oak!!

As expected, I always have skills that seem useful.

Maybe I can do this.

Take away all of your skills immediately, strengthen yourself as much as you can hang on yourself and hold a dagger in both hands.

Thanks to [Double Sword/Pole] who just took it.

From behind, he approached at once using [sign blocking/medium] and stabbed the dagger with a nasty high-oak heart aim.

He slashes it diagonally and continues to poke his dagger at Assassin's throat, which was next door.

It didn't seem to lead to instant death, but it looks like a fatal injury and kneels without force.

Warrior waves down my tall stone axe when he finally realizes I've been ambushed here.

But I'm sorry to hear that! It's too late!!!!!

Before the axe falls on me, I use [blocked/medium] again and go around behind him.

And with a dagger in his right hand, he stuck a dagger in his heart, and with a dagger in his left hand, he stuck a dagger in his neck muscle as well.

Let go of the dagger as it was and slap his fist with all his might into Assassin's dovetail, which still had his breath.

In the meantime, about 40 seconds.

I don't see anything noticed around me.

Make sure all three are desperate, hang [Magic/Recovery Little] on a broken fist, and keep the body of the oak in a storage bag.

Because I thought if the bodies were found, the rest of them would make a scene.

I really appreciate your alchemist brother.

Use [blocked/medium] again and hide in the shadows.

I noticed the moment I killed the high oak, but my body is suddenly lightening.

Probably leveled up.

At this rate, we might be able to figure it out.

With that in mind, I found a flock of five bodies exploring the situation.

There seems to be no other individuals around.

Conveniently, the five bodies are solidified, and I decide to use the [range magic/fire] that I just took away from being in a place with poor prospects from around.

Before that...

Take away all skills and stick unwanted skills and abilities to the ground.

Perform self-enhancement as it is and beat [Range Magic/Fire Extremely Large] into the middle of the orc where it is gathering.

Flaming magic landed with an awesome roar.

The orcs are rampant in a burning fire.

Release the [Range Magic/Wind Extremely Great] that you just took away for a rampant oak.

Is it the effect of the wind, the flame that was wrapping the oak was even more gigantic, where the blade of the stopping wind chopped up the oak.

By the time the flames were smaller, the bodies of the burnt five oaks remained.

When I use [fire attribute/resistance] and then quickly store the body of the oak, I use [sign blocking/medium] and leave the scene.

"It might not taste good... sounds like a boulder noticed me"

Inevitably, this knocked down the eight orcs.

The rest will probably be around thirty.

... Come on, this is where we're going.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

"Guild leader ~, are you sure it was good?

Mary, the receptionist, is carelessly speaking to the guild chief.

"... what?

"I know. No, it's about the rookie that Aisha was exclusively in charge of. I know why, but isn't it yummy because of the essence of the guild?"

Look at me for a second, and Mary blames the guild leader.

Yes, I can tell you that this response is never wrong if the way you think about giving priority to the duties of guild chief.

But if you think of it as a "guild," things change a little bit.

In the first place, the reason we forbid the Alliance members from killing each other is because we don't lose the Alliance's power.

It's a rule to keep precious human resources from being lost for boring reasons.

Due to its character, the Alliance must really possess strong fighting power.

In that sense, I want the presence of promising newcomers as much as I can get my hands out of my throat.

A newcomer who can defeat the top of the C-rankers is a very welcome talent.

He threw out such talent himself.

That's what Mary says to the guild chief.

"It's my decision, don't complain!

After one night, the guild leader, who may have calmed down somewhat, also knows what Mary is trying to say.

That's why I reply to Mary in a beautiful way.

I never felt any better watching what was going on in that guild.

What's inside my head was the different expressions you gave me last night, Mine.

It starts with surprise and ends with joy, confusion, determination, and gratitude.

There would have been something to say to him, too.

No, there's no way.

... but the last smile he showed was nothing but pure gratitude.

Again, we should have opposed it more strongly then.

I was about to be squashed with regret......, yes that was the time.

She showed up! At that time, I had no idea that meeting her would change your destiny dramatically.
