Chapter 25
CHAPTER 25 – ABNORMALITY

『Buhiiiiiii~』
After the unexpected break, a group consisting of six Orcs and one High Orc has appeared after we resumed the survey .
Knights in pairs take on the Orcs, while the『Dragon Breath』party engages the High Orc .
And I’m also responsible for taking care of one Orc .
Although Allen and Elena are here, I confront the Orc alone .
Seeing that, Rudolph-san and Gilm-san offered help, but I of course declined .
There’s only one opponent, after all . There are no problems .
「《Wind Cutter》」
I quickly cut its head off, case closed!
Orc has a large body with great power, but its movements are slow so it’s easy to defeat . All you have to do is aim and shoot . A big body means big target .
Easy peasy!
「Haa~!」
As for the Knights, one person attracts the Orc’s attention and the other person strikes at it .
They keep repeating it wounding it little by little and then give it a fatal wound . It’s a very steady way of fighting .
I just quietly watch, ready for a follow-up anytime .
However…… They way of fighting is completely opposite of me who can only fight with brute strength .
It’s a way of fighting that I, who lived 20 years without a single fight can’t do .
In the first place, I didn’t do any other exercises back on Earth than running (I wasn’t fast by any means) . I was not athletic at all .
Un, I was a klutz . What a sad thing……
In ball games, I was catching the balls with my face~ It’s all old memories now .
However, I can now run fast because of the present body, my physical ability can’t be compared to my previous one!
Iya~ moving freely is splendid! I could avoid any ball now!
However, even if my physical ability increased, my martial experience is zero, so I may not be able to provide much support……
I know I can’t help because I never had any interest in things like these, leaving me with limited knowledge .
Allen’ and Elena’s fighting style is strong, should I learn a bit from them? Dojo… is there a place like that somewhere~
There should be a place that teaches basics . Let’s look for one next time .
「Oriyaa~!」
「Buhiiii~」
Ah, looks like Wald-sama and others defeat all of the Orcs . There don’t seem to be any injuries .
「Haaa!」
「Buhiiiiiii~!」
Oh, Rudolph-san’s halberd beheaded the High Orc .
With the High Orc’s cry of agony, Rudolph-san shouts not losing to the Orc .
「Uwa!」
When all Orcs are defeated, Rudolph-san looks at me with a stern expression . Then he suddenly asks while grabbing my hand .
「Takumi!!」
「Yes!?」
「To instakill an Orc… just who are you!」
Even if you asks me that .
I understand that an experienced Knight will have troubles against Orc in a one on one fight, but I think that anyone with some skill in magic can behead such slow monster easily?
Moreover, the others also didn’t take that much time to deal with their opponents .
Why are you grabbing my head?
「「Uu~」」
「Allen, Elena . It’s all right . Wald-sama how about releasing your hand? The two are wary of you」
I’m being bullied? The two probably thought so and let out cute growling noises .
Hearing my words, Wald-sama notices Allen and Elena clinging to my sides while glaring at him . He awkwardly releases his hand .
「Allen, Elena . Look, I’m okay, calm down please~」
For now, I pat the two U~ u~ growling kids’ heads .
「To have that done to him and be alright!」
「Perhaps captain wasn’t serious enough?」
「No, that was serious . I can tell . That was a considerable amount of power」
「… Inhuman」
「Right . He’s not normal」
Because I was held with all his strength, I felt pain . However, I have a physical attack resistance . Moreover, it’s MAX’ed!
Therefore, although I felt only a little pain, an average person would be finished . The Knight start whispering among themselves after witnessing me not showing any reaction to Wald-sama’s attack .
Hey, you guys…… I can hear you .
They are certainly not wrong . I’m a God’s retainer “Human?” . You are not wrong, but…… that’s somewhat rude .
「Wald-sama and others also didn’t take much time to deal with their opponents」
「We were in pairs! Moreover, we can’t do something like instakilling it! You are an F-Rank fraud!」
「No, I have raised by one rank, so I’m an E-Rank now」
Adventurers normally start at F-Rank, right? Then, they steadily improve they rank .
I’m not a fraud!
「Doesn’t change the fact it’s stra~nge!」
So cruel……
「Rudolph-dono! I will contact Guild Master too, but once we return, please tell Guild Master to raise this fellow’s rank immediately!」
「Right . I will definitely talk with him」
「………」
Oya?
「With a high ranker’s recommendation, the Guild Master can raise one rank to some extent」
Rudolph-san who saw my bewilderment explains .
Something like skipping grades? I see, so there was such a system .
As expected, I didn’t know such information .
Probably, even though Syl knows basic information, he isn’t aware of small details like this . It’s not necessary for him, after all .
It wouldn’t be bad to raise my rank, right? The extent of requests I could take will increase .
What procedures should be taken after returning to the town?
Maa~ Rudolph-san said he would talk to the guild’s top so I should probably just wait since they will be contacting me?
「First of all, let’s clean up . Fuse, Cain . Rudolph-dono and others dismantle the High Orc . Collect as much meat as you need . Others take the Orcs」
People start dismantling on Wald-sama’s orders .
I also collect the Orc’s materials .
First, the magic stone .
Next, the testicles…… it’s apparently an ingredient used for male-oriented stimulants . I will absolutely never drink it, but…… this seems to be quite high in demand .
High Orc’s materials are same as Orc’s, magic stone and testicles . Also, it’s skin is used for protective gear .
Also, both have an enormous amount of meat .
This is a problem . Several of 3~4 meters tall Orcs leave behind quite a lot of meat .
It’s food . It would be normally brought back, but today is the first day of the expedition . If we secure it now, it will spoil before we could get back to the town .
Unfortunately, in a case like this, we can only secure enough for us to consume .
「Yosh, we are done . Then―――」
And, the rest is burned, so they don’t turn undead .
―――Normally, they would be burned, but……
「Wald-sama」
「Takumi, what’s up?」
「Have you forgotten? With me, we can collect everything」
In my《Infinite Storage》the meat won’t spoil .
『Ah!』
He seemed to forget because he’s not familiar with it yet, but the time stops in space-time magic . It should be known that time stops inside the《Infinite Storage》 .
Thus, we have decided to collect the rest of the Orc meat .
Because it would take a time to dismantle, I just stored everything inside《Infinite Storage》 just like that .
「Nevertheless…… to think there would be a group so close to the town」
「This is unusual」
「What do you think, Rudolph-dono?」
It seems to be rare to encounter a group half a day distance of the town .
They are mostly seen alone .
Wald-sama and Risner-sama confirm the situation with Rudolph-san .
「Umu . I have a feeling that the atmosphere in the forest has been quieter than before……」
Rudolph-san’s meaning isn’t “it’s calm”, but “it’s quiet before the storm” .
「Captain, it might be better to investigate this carefully」
「Yea, I agree . Let’s move with more care from now on」
We advance further to the forest while cautious .
