Struggling Hard As The Lord Of A Castle In A Different World

Episode 31: The Old Woman and the Body

"Hey, I'm sorry. I can't believe you're treating us like this to strangers."

"What, we're each other when we're in trouble?"

Three young adventurers were tongue-in-cheek over a sumptuous meal in a private house with a red lantern light.

One was a seaf-style boy with his eyes hidden in a bandana on his small body, the other was a mage style boy with glasses and finally a blonde boy with a sword at his waist, a leader style boy who looked about two or three older than the other boys.

The old woman, who sifted through the treat, watched with a smile as the adventurer stuffed the guts and food down her throat.

"No, it's really delicious. Too delicious!"

"You really had this delicious thing in this world!

"It's just dishes I've never eaten"

Forget about until then, there was a grin on the faces of the three of them in the sumptuous cuisine that no moneyless rushing adventurer could ever taste.

"Looks like you guys were looking for something, a request from the guild?

To ask the old woman, suddenly the adventurers are drawn back to reality and have a dark face.

"No, I'm looking for one of our missing people, not a request."

"Oh well, that's not a snack."

"Didn't you see a girl as old as we are, tall and blonde? I think he had a pendant with green jewels."

"... come on, I don't know"

"Right..."

The three faces are like after a scattered search, and I see tiredness.

It wasn't just a connection to money like a mercenary, but a girl who had spent time with me since I was a young girl suddenly disappeared in this neighborhood.

The three men searched all night for the girl, and discovered the village around the end of both the sperm and the roots, and were with her.

"You just collapse if you put too many roots on it. Outreach, I might just come home."

The old woman's words were merely restful, but the adventurer's temper was somewhat easier when it came to being full.

"Thank you. But I'd still like to look. My... important person."

Seeing the sinister faces of a leader-like boy of adventurers, I perceive the relationship between the missing girl and the boy.

"Yeah, did you guys go to the East Forest?

"No, I haven't been there yet"

"Then you shouldn't go. There's a very strong demon out there. If we run into each other, there won't be any."

"I get it. I'll be careful. Thank you for your advice."

"It's time to stop."

After eating all without leaving a meal, the three of them thanked the old woman and stood up for the occasion in order to continue their search.

"Don't push it too hard."

"Excuse me, thank you"

Leaving the private house, the sun sets, and only the moonlight illuminates the neighborhood, but the three of them out of the village with a pine light in one hand.

"You were a good man."

"Absolutely, I didn't throw it away in the world."

"If we find Lalai, we'll come and thank you."

"Of course."

There is no grief in the faces of the three of them, and I feel a strong will to find them absolutely.

Seaf-style adventurers speak up as soon as they leave the village.

"Grandma said oh, but I knew the East Forest was the most suspicious. There's nothing else out there."

"I think so too."

"But you've just been cautioned not to go."

The leader actually didn't think he could think of anything else besides that, but he was also sure he could draw attention to lightly unscrupulous advice from an old woman of good people.

"You said there was a strong demon."

"I'll do a little digging."

Glow the cane that the adventurer with glasses had and hang the cane towards the eastern woods just outside the village.

"What do you say?

"I've tried to explore, but there's no strong demonic reaction from that forest."

"Then why did that old lady lie about having a strong demon?

"I don't know."

"Goblins and Forest Wolf could be powerful demons from your grandmother, right? The strong demons we think are not necessarily the same as the strong demons our grandmother thinks. And maybe there's a demon who can block the signs."

Rich and metal dragons that covered his entire body with metal were almost impossible monsters to sense magic.

But if there were such a superior monster, there was no way it could just be a village next door.

"I see."

"It is also possible that we are too lost and unable to move. Let's go see."

"Okay."

The three adventurers decided that an old woman's demon was probably about a very common low-level monster, and went into the warned eastern woods.

Relying on the lights of the pine lights, I walk through the dim woods.

Although I hear faint animal sounds, there are no signs of demons suddenly attacking me.

It was quiet, except for the sound of stomping on the leaves with a zazzle. But whether wind streets are bad by the trees or steamy due to rain falling nearby.

"Larry, if you're here, answer me -!

"Larai -!"

"Hey, Larry, it's me!

The three voices just tree spirits vainly in the woods, and there's no way they'll get back to me.

Only time passed with nothing to harvest, and when the moon was brilliant at its peak, it was in the middle of the forest.

So an unnaturally built stone hut appeared before the three of them.

"What is that?

"Come on?"

It's smaller than a cabin where people live, about a livestock cabin, and there's not a single window.

If this wasn't in the woods, the three of them wouldn't have thought otherwise unnatural.

When the three of them touch an outer wall made of stone, it is limp.

"Inside, you want to see?

"I can't really think of being in this, but for once."

"Leave it to me."

A seaf-style adventurer takes out the picking tool and removes the lock that was on the door in seconds of the thing.

When the leader pushes the door open, a soothing air flows from inside.

Apparently, she used ice crystals to cool down inside like a refrigerator.

"What, it's just a fridge"

"No, it's not right to leave the fridge here."

A natural leader, the three of them illuminate the inside with pine light.

Dim and hard to see, but I see dirt like something was smashed on the floor or wall.

Plus a bunch of things like some big bag hanging from the ceiling.

"What is this place?

Smells like iron to my nose.

I glanced and took a closer look and found that the stain was more and more black blood.

"Blood, blood!

The glasses adventurer notices that the inside of the cabin is bloody, and his hips can pull.

The amount of blood that has been bitten will still not be enough if all the blood has been drained from one person and smashed.

The leader slowly approaches the large bag suspended from the ceiling.

While I have a bad feeling about it, I slowly get rid of the cloth being hung over things.

The three fiercely unpleasant hunches involved sighs by what came out of them.

"Hey, what's that? Meat?"

"You're a pig. This."

What was suspended from the ceiling was a pig for meat with its head and guts removed.

For a moment I thought it was human meat, but the pork feet characteristic of four legs are obviously not human or anything like that.

"Oh, my God, don't surprise me."

"You freaked out that you might have Lalai in here, didn't you?

"You thought the same thing!

He was an angry eyeglass adventurer teased by his leader.

"This could be the village's pantry."

"Why is there a pantry in such a weird place?"

"Is it for preservation or emergency? If there's a fire in the village and all the food in the village is burned, you're in trouble. Maybe that's why we're saving it somewhere else."

"I see... maybe that old lady lied to us to keep the pantry out of position?

"Maybe."

"Nothing. We don't steal food. It's like paying you back with a vendetta."

"Perhaps there is a rule that people should not be brought close to the east woods in the village"

"That sounds like it. Then all the blood scattered around here belongs to livestock."

"I guess it was pretty poorly dismantled"

The three think of the villagers struggling to dismantle the pigs, and accidentally a small grin spills.

"Well, we didn't see it here. We'll find another one."

"Right. But you're hungry for food."

The spectacle adventurer laughs bitterly when he sees a hanging cloth bag lined up all the time.

"There's still blood on this."

Potatoes and red and black blood fell from the bottom of the bag, and it was blood.

It's that blood. Find something glittering in the whole area.

"What is this?

The adventurer of glasses picks it up and puts it on the pine.

"What's that?

The leader came together and peeked in, and it was a pendant with beautiful green gems.

The bloody adventurers at once when they see it.

Because that's what Lalai was looking for.

I'm moved by an unpleasant hunch, and I open a bloody bag.

"Ugh... hey"

Eyeglasses adventurer throws up back.

He had a big hole in his chest in front of him and hung it with a hook like an object because it was a limbless larai.

"Uhhhhhh!

Ambition mixed with the anger, fear and confusion of the leader woods the spirit.

The leader was about to burn out the blood vessels in his head for a reunion that was too miserable.

"You guys wouldn't have come in here."

Looking back to his surprise, he looked like a good old woman of man until earlier, but an old woman with a wrinkly face standing against the background of darkness at night looks like a demon.

Create a thin grin on your mouth and look at the terribly womanizing adventurers.

"You did it!

The leader immediately pulled out his sword and stood against the old woman.

"I don't know..."

The old woman laughing at the bumps just seemed to make fun of the adventurers.

"Don't be ridiculous! Answer me!"

"I'm not kidding. And he's not dead yet."

"What?"

When the leader looks back, Larai's head, which is hanging, looks up just a little bit.

Surprisingly, she wasn't dead when she said it was such a miserable situation.

But it was obviously only magically forced to live, only to taste the pain heavier than death combined.

"You!!

The moment the leader tries to slash the old woman, the old woman throws something.

It stuck to Larai's body, which was behind him.

When the three confirmed, it was a bill with some sort of technique written on yellow paper with a pearl brush.

Nothing changes where that sticks to Larai's body.

I wonder if he has failed to paste it into himself, and the leader turns to the old woman.

But shortly after, there was a severe pain in his neck muscle.

"Become!?

When I saw it, Larai was biting his neck.

The limbless girl with her eyes glowing bright red puts her teeth on her neck muscle with the intention of biting the leader to death.

A blood bump rises from the neck muscle, bites off the muscles of the neck, and eats it up with the strength of a jaw like a carnivore who doesn't even think it's human power to crush bones.

"Uh-oh!

"Daijibu! Stop it, Larai!"

Lalai's body couldn't pull apart at all when the two companions said that the pull would do so, but that he was eating up with only the power of his jaw.

Lalai, who was a corpse, was suddenly made ferocious by the old woman's thrown bills, I'm sure.

The old woman had a mean grin with Niyaniya as if she was happy to see a guest caught in a haunted mansion.

When the old woman throws more bills, three more bodies move from the cloth bag that was behind her.

Likewise the limbless corpse rips off like a hill and is devoured by two adventurers.

"Stop it!

"Oh and oh and don't!

It didn't take long until the three adventurers were out of breath.

The corpse that bit the adventurer never stopped eating the adventurer, and covered the floor with blood.

When the old woman removed the bill from the body, it immediately became ash and disappeared and scattered after she stopped moving like a puppet with a broken thread.

All that remains is the remains of the three adventurers.

The old woman looks bitter when she sees the ashes of the disappeared Larais.

"I knew garbage was garbage."

The old woman goes down the hidden stairs behind the cabin and into the basement.

In the dim room, a corpse with a yellow plaque on its head was aligned like an army.

In it the old woman approaches the girl dressed in a glossy and beautiful ethnic costume with a deep slit that catches her eye.

"Fuhihi, Lilan, you're the only one I can count on. Grandma, please make it easier."

With a blue face, like other unspeakable bodies, the old woman cheeks at the girl staring into the void.
