Eight Tales [Orc Man and Dragon Man Track]
"Here? Are you pretending to wander around?
"Yeah. I'm going to go back to where the village was."
"Ngu...... mugu, pu ha. The village where Rim grew up? Sure..."
"It's Bestia. There's no one here anymore. Maybe we'll find something."
Bestia, where the various beasts lived together with support, was an idyllic village.
Essentially, hunting and farming made it possible to become self-sufficient, so I had no trouble living without much interaction with the city of imperial territory in the north.
However, Lim also remembers that there was no interaction at all, and that only a few villagers were purchasing preferences and other items to and from the village and the city.
When was the villager in the purchasing role moaning that he was sometimes given a high-pressure attitude because he was subhuman? Not all of them tend to despise the subpeople, but nevertheless places close to the Empire are not comfortable for the subpeople to live in.
Rim and Shania, who have continued their journey from the foothills of the Rebe Mountains across the border, are in the midst of eating at the Inn in the city of Grania to the north from the village of Bestia.
When Shania, who talks as she stores food on her cheeks like a small animal, finally drops her food mass into her stomach, Rim was remembering the village where she was born and raised.
When the demons attacked him, the villagers scattered and fled, and Rim was lucky enough to rendezvous with Arnold to escape, but his mother, Mirei, could not escape from the hands of the demons.
We did not immediately believe the story told us by the survivors of the villagers who had fled with Millet, and Arnold visited the place where the village was many times to search for Millet, but in the end he could not find Millet.
Just because no body could be found, the village seemed so terrible that I couldn't be optimistic when I was alive.
"Honestly...... I'm still a little scared though"
The enthusiasm of a familiar home being engraved in flames...... the fear of that time is still engraved on Rim's body.
"Well... then I'll let you go with me."
Drinking up the fruit water after the meal, Shania naturally spinned the words.
"I said I'd give it back. I need you to hang out with me till the end."
"Hey, why did Shania want to come to this country? If there's anything else you need to do, you don't have to..."
Shania, who blocked her ears with both hands on the words, shakes her head to the left and right so much that her hair is disturbed.
"St ~ p. I don't want to hear any more. By the way, you don't have any other business to run ~. I guess it's because I wanted to spread the word about all the things I saw and heard when I was strong. Well, he seemed against me acting alone."
"What's that guy?
Rim listened back with interest to who appeared in Shania's story from time to time.
"Uh-huh, stay, never mind. We're talking here."
"Oh well."
Shania takes a seat, waving her hand blindly.
Rim, who thought it would be better not to ask any more if he didn't want to talk about it, spoke to the inn receptionist after the meal.
"Oh, are you leaving already? I was a little reluctant to stay in the suburbs, but I was relieved that nothing seemed to go wrong. Well, it's better for you not to cause trouble in the city."
- Shania raises her voice as she walks around the city after being sent out in words that subtly include thorns.
"I feel kind of bad about that innkeeper. Maybe we should have had a little trouble."
Slightly grumpy, she seems to be trying to calm herself down as she strokes her deep red hair. Rim, the beast man, can quickly be judged to be a sub from his appearance, but as for Shania, he looks like a human without looking directly at the scales on his back or something.
"I have no choice. I'm an animal man from anywhere. But... I guess I'll be a little angry."
"So what? Ok, harassing the Guests like they leave their feet... yes! Let's go put on some ichamom that the food wasn't delicious."
Rim, with a pocan look on his face against Shania, who slapped his hand like he had come up with a name proposal, gradually broke his face and began to laugh.
He gently circles his thin, beautiful tail, holds his stomach with his hands and laughs out in a really funny way.
"Oh... did I say something so funny?
"'Cause Shania was having dinner just now looking so delicious. Round your cheeks like squirrels."
"Yeah, me, was that it?
Shania shrugged and swelled her cheeks round.
"Yeah. That's exactly what happened. I'm glad Shania feels like it, but if she cares about this, she's not kidding, so let's get ready to go."
"Ugh, it's nice and sweet ~ su"
The two of them walk around to get refills of portable food, restorative drugs, etc., done all over the city.
The fact that they stuck with each other meant that they were going to look at different things, but the extra shopping was successful in minimizing them.
"You know, what is that? That transparent, beautiful colored one."
"Uh... ame... zai, k? It's like food."
"Let's buy that one. I need something sweet for my body."
"Do you need it now? Yeah, but I'm sure you need it. I think Shania's right."
These exchanges are also minimal.
- There was one shadow trying to get close to the two girls when they really thought they were all set.
"Oh, my sisters. Are you ready to go somewhere?
Rim, looking back at that voice, looks strange that no one is in front of him.
"What's wrong, Rim? No one..."
"Hey!? Downstairs. Yikes! Shit. Keep your gaze down. Sisters."
Remaining voices of childhood, but with rims and shanias aligned in the highly asserted voices lowering their gaze.
Beyond that, he stared at the rims, making sure that so many boys under the age of ten would stretch out.
"I'm sorry. I didn't realize it was small."
"Pfft, if you want to speak to a woman, double your height and then put it back out."
It should be noted that the boy standing on the ground with both legs, who has been hit with a rather harrowing word by two girls, sees a tail in his beast ear, as does Rim.
"Oh, I'm Ted. Are you going somewhere? Looks like he's been shopping around a lot."
"You're a dog beast child. I'm not too impressed with the lady's shopping."
"We... we weren't looking at anything else. It just happened to be in my eyes. I saw the same Orc sister, so I rang. It's a rare sight for humans and beasts to walk amicably in this city."
"Huh. Well, I'm not a human being. I think you'll be in a less than welcome subhuman category."
"Really? But you're not a beast, and you're not a dwarf... well, you're not an elf."
"Yeah? Kind of catches the last line, but, well, I mean, there's a lot going on."
To Ted with the look of doubt, now Rim crouched down and gazed before asking questions.
"Hey, Ted lives in this city?
"That's right. I know everything about this neighborhood. If you need any information, go ahead with this Ted."
Stretch your little back to the fullest, and Ted stretches his chest out.
The look looked somewhat like the girl she had become friends with in Melbail, and Rim was smiling naturally.
Make sure it sticks, Ted's face turns slight but red.
"Yahoo, isn't this kid kind of red?
"Oh, you can't be. Your sister will shut up for a moment."
Slightly more serious colors mixed in Rim's eyes as he stared at the boy who had brutally scratched his head, and the conversation resumed.
"I'm looking for someone. It's called Millet... it's my mother. Looks a little like me... maybe you haven't seen him or something in this city."
If Mirei were alive, it's quite likely he'd have stopped by this city closest to Bestia.
"Your sister's mother...? I can't answer right away just because you look exactly like my sister, but I can show you to someone you might know."
"Really!?"
"Ah...... oh. Probably."
"Hey. I told Ted to go ahead, but he doesn't know."
To Shania's side, Ted lowered his voice as he lowered his face.
"You have no choice. There's something I don't even know. In that case, you just have to rely on someone you know."
"Huh. Well, I guess I agree with you on the last word. What does Rim feel like?
Asked Rim tries to think of something, then slowly takes the lead.
"Thank you, Ted. I'm sorry, but I was wondering if you could take me to that person."
"Uh... yeah. Okay. Follow me. I'll show you."
Ted moves his little body with Tette and moves on avoiding the crowd.
"... I'm sorry. Shania. It could be a stopover."
"Yeah. Why - if you don't mind at all. I think you just have to do what Rim wants."
◆ ◆ ◆
- This is the place.
The place Ted led me to was a building with an entrance half underground. It doesn't look beautiful in flattery, and it wraps up an atmosphere I wouldn't want to visit if I didn't have business.
"Here?"
"Yes. It may look a little dirty, but I live here, too. Don't complain."
"It is. Is the guy Ted was talking about, is he inside?
"Oh... I'm sure you'll tell me"
Ted replied to Rim's query in just a few moments.
When I open the door and go inside - the interior is dim.
Even the rim, which had a better night's eye than the human, took a while to get used to the light and dark difference. The same seems to be true of Shania behind it.
By the time I finally got a glimpse of what was going on around me, I could see some shadows surrounding the rims.
At the same time, the sound of the door behind me being vigorously closed sounds.
"Hehe...... teh doh, you did a great job. Bringing in two sub-people...... hmm? Come on, one of you is a human being."
Ted objected in a small voice, even though the tongue-beating sound sounded without hiding.
"Chi, it's not. Even your sister is subhuman, because she said so herself..."
"Ho, okay. I'll look into it later. Hehe... Apparently, the surprise hardens too much. You guys... Ted tricked me there. You never thought such a little beast boy would lie, did you? Look closely. Aren't you cute there? Even if it's subhuman, it's expensive for customers with such hobbies..."
Even if a man's wild voice tries to spin the following words, it is blocked by a strange voice uttered by another man.
"... ghahh... buh"
"What?
The face of the man, who had spoken in a delightful voice as if to mock him earlier, turned to surprise.
One of the men who was arming the rims slowly sinks his body.
It was the girl who was supposed to have been besieged - Rim - who carried it out.
Rim, who made the most of the leg strength of a trained beast man and stuffed his way through the instant step, let one of the men jab his fist in.
There still seems to be breath, but even the thick neck of the oak snaps with a single blow. The power is not something that a common human can withstand.
"Wow, I'll do a rim."
Shania, who whistled lightly, seems to be watching without moving.
"... hey, sis...?
Ted also leaked words against Rim's actions in a slightly upward voice.
In a quiet space, Rim's soft but angry voice echoes.
"I thought maybe there was something going on. Ted's arm... he's hiding in his clothes, but there's a mole by the way, right? It's supposed to hurt, but it's acting strangely bright."
Ted looked around at his body in a hurry.
At first glance, I can't see a mole or anything, but when I lift my arm, a red and black mole peeks into my face from the gap in my clothes.
"Oh, then what...?
Ted was teased by Shania and remembered when she turned red and scratched her head.
"I guess that's where I got the discomfort from. It's bad for Ted, but I still don't believe you enough to believe that someone has the information I need."
"Ugh..."
"But..."
Rim's honey-colored eyes are directed at the men with a touch of darkness.
"I don't think you're moving on from yourself and doing something like this."
"Ugh... yeah"
Ted started to make me cry like a creep.
"I put that mole on... who? Tell me."
One step forward to answer Rim's question was the man he was talking to with a lowlife until just now.
"Hehe, hehe. He's a pretty good kid at his age. Educational guidance is what he does because he's been acting so defiant more and more. I'm feeding him dinner, so you deserve it, right?
Rim slowly slides his fist into the man's body.
"Heh, you're a very prestigious lady. This is going to sell really high. Hey, you guys! Don't be alarmed. Catch him for dying. A little scratched doesn't make any sense."
The men around them pointed their weapons at the rims as they replied.
"I'm sorry, Shania. Really, I stopped by."
"... Nah ~ I see. Is that so? To be honest, I might have made a little mistake about the rim. In a good way, of course."
"Thanks."
"It's like anger mode, so I won't get my hands on the basics, but if it does, I'll move on my own ~"
"I believe in Shania...... Yikes!
The interior floor, which is half underground, is cobblestone, and even kicking it full of force creates sufficient reactions.
The force emitted by the beastly girl on the soles of her feet was sufficient to move the supple body instantly.
"Oh, my God!
Rim perilously dodges a dagger protruded by one of the men, poking his jaw tip up with his palm bottom.
A man's body, which would not be light, fluttered up into the universe.
Naturally it would be more advantageous to strike at the same time if it were multi-on-one. A sword-wielding man looms from the side of the rim.
The rim, which deflected the flesh-compelled man's sword by allowing it to slip with the opposite armor of his dominant arm, let it remain in contact with the ground.
On the belly of the sword, which stopped its movement due to the impact of a collision on the cobblestone, an instantaneous blow is carried out from the side shortly after rest.
A blow that added enhancement through magic conversion and body twisting to its limits brilliantly crushed a crude sword blade that would be cheap.
"Well, then, be an idiot"
Lowering his center of gravity, Rim disfigured by paying the foot of a man who became karate, and by releasing a lateral kick, he blew the man behind him as he was involved.
The last man with a stick in his hand came at me with an odd noise, but this was also completely silenced by a kakato drop released from a state where one leg was shaken up loudly.
"... Phew"
Rim, who performed the motion apnea until he lay four men on the ground, breathes here by breathing heavily and deeply.
"... pity, you bastards. What the hell are you doing with such a little girl, though, Beast Man!
A man who was talking to Rim just now showing his spare time took the axe in his hands with an evil attitude.
"If you can't keep him alive and capture him, will you kill him here? Hehe... I've worked as an adventurer in the past even when I look like this. I have experience fighting demons. One of the little daughters of the Beast..."
To the nostalgia of a man who was drooling of Nobu, the rim packs a distance into a flying strip.
"What did you fight?...... green eel?
"Heh, heh... don't do it"
The axe the man shook up with his angry voice, struck down to the rim.
Sure, the man with the muscle strength there is able to wield the axe, but if you observe closely, he also looks like he's wielding his body by the weight of the axe.
The axe is a destructive weapon, but it is impossible to perform a series of strikes in quick motion without smooth movement of the body's center of gravity due to its greater weight compared to swords and spears.
"Damn...... why don't you hit me!?"
"I still can't talk about people, either."
Rim's elbow captures every man accurately, and then the back of his fist hits his face in a flowing motion.
"Probably... lack of skill."
"Ha-ha... ghh"
The man who fell to the floor heard an unusual voice at the end and stopped moving.
In a space filled with a lot of silence, it was the little boy who first uttered the word.
- It's Ted.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Sis.... Me... Liar, deceive my sisters..."
Ted, who walked under the rim looking sorry, is still tearing a little.
"Yeah. You'd better take care of the mole than that. Because I just bought it if it's a recovery pill..."
As soon as the rim pointed its gaze at its own tool bag with that mouth,
"This happened, too... it's all your fault... tedwow"
I grabbed the axe that the man who was loosely up was rolling and shook it down towards Ted.
"Ugh... ahh"
Ted's body, which became stiff while screaming, has no technique to counter the assaulting murder weapon, only to wait to be slashed and torn.
- Between Axe and Ted, if there's no one there.
"Become, sister!?"
Rim, who sheltered Ted by holding him in his arms, was completely defenseless.
If the axe is swung down like this, the neck will undoubtedly be dimensioned first.
but such a tragic end does not come.
Because...
"Yes ~ yes. If that's dangerous, I told you I'd move on my own. Thought it might not be my curtain, but I was worried it would be complete air... when does it move? It would be now. Phew."
Because a strangely tense Shania is taking a blow from his opponent's axe.
Besides, he's barefoot the blow of a heavy axe, without any protective equipment.
A man whose axe touching Shania's skin was partially missing and whose eyes reflected the sight of metal shards spilling apart onto the floor opened his mouth with an incredible look.
"Oh, you... what?
"Stay, don't worry about it, okay? I hope you think you're one of the subhumans in contempt. It's just that I'm a little special among my own kind. So, unfortunately, I don't know if I can scratch one."
The axe finally breaks apart, unable to withstand the pressure.
"Human, huh? Not really, I hope you won't disappoint me."
"Is...? What did you say..."
"That's a story over here, too. Already...... good night"
When Shania touched the man's body as she stroked it, it slowly fell to the floor.
