Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Chapter 83 Settlements
There were a few more giants ahead of Anti and the others.
Some of them seem to be women, but honestly, I can't tell if they are men or women without looking at their breasts. There are no differences between men and women in physique or face. If you look closely, I don't know. Everyone's face is home-based, and even women have beards.... I don't care anymore.
It seems that there are also children, and the children can be distinguished. The physical condition is good, but it does not mean that the muscles are tight.
Is it a smaller settlement than the village? Simple lights made of monster fat shine everywhere.
A black mountain in the back of the settlement. There are some holes in the side that are crowded and seem to be replacing the house.
How did you dig such a hole... no way... by hand?
"What? What? A tribe?
"It's unusual! Show us!
Are we a rare beast or something to them? They're gathering with Dosdos.
"Bwahaha! Don't crush me!
"I'm afraid I'm not joking. Is that all you live in in this settlement?
Twenty-four giants have gathered.
"No, there's a tribal king after that. That's all. Twenty-five.
I don't hear that there are giants elsewhere, and I think all the giants in this world are probably here. Twenty-five. Even if there are dozens of people who can fight, it's a sufficiently threatening species… Can we really ask for the help of a species of only 25?
"Ouch! Dinner! Let's eat!
When Anti slapped his hands and screamed, the nearby giants moved apart.
"Stay where you are. If you flip, you'll be crushed.
"I'll do it without being told.
Everyone seems to be sharing roles and preparing meals, but what a splendid sight.
When one person peels off the skin of a monster that becomes a food ingredient, he throws it at the pawn and the person on the right. The person on the right who receives the dice on the spot... no, cut the meat into block steaks. When a lump of meat with a meter on one side is formed, it is thrown into the person on the left. The guy who took it baked it and threw it at the pawn… Anyway, the people walking in the middle throwing various things at each other are moving away from it.
It doesn't look like they're cooking, but I'm surprised they're doing it while they're laughing.
"You smell good and fragrant.
Nil sits next to me and snorts his nose.
Cooking is almost… not all meat, but certainly the aroma of high-quality fat is appetizing.
"Ouch! Here we go!
A pile of meat that can be served on a plate that has only been roughly shredded with black stone.
Next to it is a jock made of black stone...? There is no handle and only moisture is accumulated. A clear, pale red liquid poured into the mess. Alcohol smells from flying droplets.
"Eat! Drink that! Bwahahaha!
When Anti screams loudly, the giants swallow alcohol while laughing and grab the block steak with their bare hands and throw it into their mouths.
"Drink up, too!
Dunn!!
A plate with sake and meat placed in front of you.
"Ooh..."
Sake is bigger than a barrel, and meat is big enough to hold with both hands. Even if it is placed in front of my eyes, I cannot eat or drink 10%.
"Where can I start with this steak..."
"Gwah! Gwah! Bwahaha!
"... ahh! Let's go!!
It hits the big meat horn with a big mouth.
It's much softer flesh than I thought, and it's easy to eat away.
Even though it has almost no flavor, the juice spreading in the mouth is a rich aroma packed with flavor, while being so smooth that it doesn't seem fat.
Even though the flesh was supposed to have just been baked, it was as if it had been simmered and melted in your mouth.
"This is... delicious!!
And this flavor is alcohol… forcibly lifting a glass larger than a barrel and putting the contents in your mouth.
"... spicy (from) ahh?!
"Isn't this good for meat?!
Sure, I miss the fat of the meat I just felt when I drank this.
Bag! Bag! Bag! Bag! Bag! Bag!
"Yum! Yum! Endless, huh?
"Bwahaha! I bet you are! I don't get tired of eating too many times! This is salamander steak!
"Sarah?!
Nil keeps her mouth shut and her eyes round. Monster ingredients above S rank are known as the finest. Rich aristocrats, or even amazing adventurers.
Nil was eating silently, but I stopped chewing knowing what I was eating. Do you calculate how much a bite would cost?
"This is the Giant Characteristic Worm! Bwahaha!
The worm Kanti mentioned is also an S-rank monster.
With a very hard epidermis-covered worm or snake, it seems that magic works little and can only be damaged by a highly effective sword.
I don't know what kind of monster it is because I've never actually seen it before. This is also the first time I know that it will appear around here.
"Worm....."
Nil's hand stopped completely.
"If you don't eat it now, I don't know when I'll eat it next.
When I whispered in my ears, I started eating silently again.
Yeah, yeah. If you want to eat, you have to!
"Speaking of which...."
I recall something in the inventory, pretend to take it out of the bag and take it out of the inventory.
[Flame liquor… liquor with very high alcohol content.
Alcohol earned for completing dungeon rewards with Daniel and Papill's twin Elves on their way to Elf City.
I forgot because I didn't want Nil and me in the inventory. Especially since the twins had a reason to prepare alcohol... there were places where they kept it from sight.
I'm scared of the description... but if you're a giant, you're big, and you like strong alcohol...
"... hey!!! Is that a flame liquor?
"What?! Flame liquor?!
When I took out the two bottles, the giants gathered around me.
"It's really flaming liquor! Hey! Where did you get that?!
"Huh? No, the reward for attacking the dungeon.
"Ghhh!! I envy you! I envy you!
"I'll do it if you want. It's not a good memory, and I'll do it all if you're happy.
"" "" Haaa?!
When all the Titans scream, a vibration of the order of a light earthquake is transmitted.
"... you..."
Anti sits slowly in front of me from a firm position.
"You're just a good guy!
"Oh, oh..."
Are you drunk or have a big reaction? She even shed tears.
Is that right, Nil? I'm glad you're still eating silently... eating well.
"Are you sure?!
"I don't mind. I'll do both.
"Hey, you're cunning, Anti!
"Yes, yes! This place should be decided fairly!
Titans who suddenly make noise. I feel like I'm fighting because everyone's body is loud and it's a good voice.
"Alright! Let's bet on this flaming liquor from Sinya and play it fair! Are you complaining?!
"That's good!
"I can't lose!
There was a big noise until the applause. Everything's bigger now.
"Well then, let's decide on the Titan routine!
"" "Uh-oh!
Titans trembling with joy.
"What is the routine?
"Nil, have you finished eating?
"Yes, I can't eat anymore.
"I've been eating.
Yes!
Thank you for the glowing smile. Nil.
During such an exchange, the plate in front of you is retreated and a light square is created.
d There is a table with black stones arranged in a cylinder in the middle. I somehow imagined it.
"Arm wrestling.
"Comparison of the power to defeat the opponent's arm, right?
"Oh, that's it.
Nil has little or no knowledge of these kinds of plays and games. This would also be the evil of living as a slave.
It has been relieved little by little.
"Well then, this last winner, me, Anti, will take care of you!
Apparently, the last King said to all the challengers that the winner would be replaced by the King...
Huh? Is this the winner who took all two? I wish I could share it.
"Come on!!
Shit! Shit!
Anti with elbows on the table.
"Heh heh. Don't think you'll lose forever. Anti."
Porky pokes and fingers snapped, and came forward a dandy giant man with white beard and all-back gray hair. I honestly don't know if it's Dandy, but it's the atmosphere.
Looks pretty strong. It's harder to find someone who seems weak.
"You seem strong, don't you?
I see. Sounds interesting.
"Come on! Zeve, do it!
With cheers from around her, she raised her hands tightly.
Quite a well-dressed giant.
"This time, the prize is a prize. I'm gonna let you go!
Both hands are gripped tightly together.
A female giant acting as a referee lays her palms over both hands and sends a signal.
Go!
"Haaaa!!!
Gong!!
……………
…………
Dandy Giant. Instant kill.
"Damn it... me too... me too..."
My back is sad as I leave. There is no word against the loser.
"That's completely different from what I expected.
"I see.
Then came the silent giant.
I have no beard or hair, but my body is bigger than other giants.
"This time it's bigger than Anti.
"This could be hard for Anti, too.
"Come on! Bullful! Today is the time to show your strength!
Grabbing each other's hands, Bullful's arms swollen up. That's a lot of muscle.
"Ghh!!
Gah!!
………
…………
Bullful instant kill. Silent back from.
"Anti-san, you're strong.
"I see.
Nil looks very calmly. The difference in calories is huge.
I think I saw this scene in middle school. Girls are indifferent to boys raising their fever. Often.
After that, Anti defeated the challengers one after the other, finally becoming the last.
"There you are... Kanti.
"Brother.
The last challenger was my brother, Kanti.
Looking at the blow from the previous battle, each other's power is five fifths.
This time it's going to be a good match.
Gah!
Anti, who had been fighting with his right arm, gave him his left arm.
That said, Anti had the battle horn in his right hand and Candy had it in his left hand.
"You changed your arm, didn't you?
"That sounds like... pride to those two.
Soon, Zeve, a Dandy Titan beside him, called out.
"Proud?"
"Each time this tournament is held, one of those two wins. The last time you win, you fight with the opposite arm, and the loser with the opposite arm.
That's why the winners don't change every time.
"Hmm. What's at stake doesn't change?
"Even if their lives were at stake, they wouldn't change. That's why I'm so proud.
For us Titans, it's more important than life.
I can't lose! I wonder if it's a sumo every time because the same pride comes out of Zeve and Bullful.
Looks good to me from a guy.
Shit!
Anti and Canty grip each other's arms tightly and smile with their teeth peeled out.
"... go!!
When the referee's hands are released, the muscles from each other's shoulders to the wrists are boosted.
"Bunununununununununununununununununununu!!!
"Mummmmmmmmmmmm!!!
When Candy pushes in, then Anti pushes in.
"Come on! Kanti!"
"Whoa! Anti!"
The cheer around you is getting bigger.
I'm holding my fist tightly for some reason.
Nil is calm. That doesn't change anything.
"Hey! Was it Shinya?! Evacuate the flame liquor!
I'm not sure what Zeve is saying... but I'll put it back in my inventory.
The battle between Anti and Canti is quite reversed.
The presses are pushed, the presses are repeated, and the two faces become bright red, with blood vessels rising around the temples.
"It's time to give up, Candy!
"What if my brother gives up?!
"Bununununununununununununu!
Mumm-mmm!
The two hands that were pressing each other stopped tightly in the middle.
"Bhhhhhhh!
"Ghhhhhh!"
Miss...
"Miss...?
When I thought I heard a bad sound, there was a crack on the table where the two of them were putting their arms on.
Mississippi!
"Bnooooo!!
"Ugh!!
Bakkang!!
At the last moment, the table is completely shattered and the debris splashes vigorously around.
Dangerous huh?!
When I thought it might hit the flying debris, Zeve pulled his arm forward to protect me and Nil from the debris.
No, handsome.
"What happened?
Nil leans his neck and says.
No, calm down.
As Ikemensaive retreats his arm, on the destroyed debris, Canty pushes his arm up and pushes Anti's arm down.
"Kurti won!!
"Well done, Candy!
Titans relentlessly beat up their stretchers to the end of the sperm root.
"Bnoooo! I lost!!
"Wow! I won!
My arms used by both Kanti and Anti are twitching and convulsing, and it seems like I'm having a lot of fun.
"This is Anti and Canty, the strongest fighters in the settlement.
Zeve's face also smiled joyfully.
I was surprised by those two warriors, but it seems they were the strongest warriors.
I'll give you the prize flaming liquor and put it in front of Candy. I feel like I've been having some fun.
Before I gave it to him, I tested the flame liquor again and there was an interesting sentence added.
[Flame liquor… liquor with very high alcohol content. The Titans love it.
"Speaking of which, do you have two of them to yourself?
"Hmm? No. One will belong to Anti. There are two, so it's the best and the second.
"What?! What does the last game mean?!
"Bwahaha! What are you talking about? There's no point in deciding the most!
"Wow! My brother's right!
I heard that the Titans obey power, but the word obedience doesn't apply much. A race that respects what is powerful. It's more recognizable than that. There are some stories of pride ahead, and rumors don't go to people.
"Ouch! Then let's have a taste of victory!
Anti and Candy grab bottles of wine one by one. It's a two-handed liquor bottle, but it looks like a toy held by a giant.
The stopper has been removed first.
"I'll take it!
"I won't take it!
Turn upside down the flaming liquor bottle that they brought over their mouth.
Dopodopodopodopo
A bright red liquid flows out of the bottle and enters the two mouths.
It seems that even if one bottle is left open, it can be drunk with one sip.
As they poured the bottle into their mouths until it was completely gone, their throats began to squeal.
…………
…………
They put their faces back in front of me and look at me.
Was the amount too small? I'm sorry about that. That's all I have.
…………
…………
I don't think they can hear me, but they don't react.
"What? Hey.
"...... Bunu..."
"... gum..."
Bataan!!
They both knocked their bodies back at the same time and became large.
"Nah, what?!
"My consciousness jumped from drinking. Because it's flame liquor.
"What?!
Both of us had been drinking worm liquor until now. I don't think worm liquor is that low. Even though I looked totally fine, I just drank that much and fell down...?
No, it's not about the high alcohol content, it's something completely different. Those two wouldn't do this with a hundred percent alcohol.
I don't know what it is used for, but it must be a drink unique to this world.
"If I were drinking..."
He may have died of acute alcoholism. What a dungeon reward...
Is Andy and Candy okay? Looks like I've been through it a few times... but I wonder if it's a magical alcohol that won't do that...
"It's okay, it's okay. Because this is how they end up with worm liquor.
"I don't know what's okay..."
"Besides, aren't you going to eat anymore? I hope this isn't still happening at night!
"Night... it's always like night here.
Point at the dark sky and say.
"Damn it! Heh heh! Then I'll drink it till it falls!
Zeve travels to another giant with a bottle of worm in one hand.
The giants all seem to like alcohol, and the only ones they don't drink are children. Both men and women hold alcohol in one hand.
When you see people drinking, you are driven by the urge to take a sip.
When you drink it, you bring the unexpected worm liquor back to your mouth.
"I ate and drank before I knew what it was.
"You haven't said anything yet..."
"... it's been washed away by the flow that Anti made.
"You're very friendly with me, and would you like to talk to me tomorrow?
I see. You'll listen to me.
Even though I've knocked down so much noise, I can't see only the Titan King.
I wonder if it's in some kind of horizontal hole... but I wonder if the king of the clan is different.
Though the number of people is small, the tribal king is the tribal king. I don't expect to see you all of a sudden. Let's talk to Anti and Candy first tomorrow.
