Chapter 19 - Wolf Mating Season

Reward: Bonk Gauge

[Bonk Gauge is acquired.]

"Oh? Finally." Albert smirked, knowing his life would become easier after this point. "How many Bonk Bites do I need to consume to use the Bonk Smasher?"

Skill: Bonk Smasher (2 Bonk Bites)

Effect: User can deliver a more powerful bonk.

"So, it's the same? Though, I wish I had more skills to utilize." Albert shook his head in disappointment and turned to his Bonk Bat. "Anyway, let's check the Bonk Gauge first."

Name: Bonk Bat

Effect: The only weapon that a bonker can use. Increase the user's power when encountering a horny opponent.

Bonk Bites: 30

"Hmm? I have hit a total of ten horny people. Considering Fila and those three thugs were stronger than goblins or the two onis, should I assume that I got more from them? Or was it based on their horniness?"

[Both. For example, we can't compare the lust coming from succubus to a normal person, right? At the same time, it's harder to bonk a stronger person.]

"I see. So, if they're stronger and even lustful, I will get more." Albert nodded with a serious expression. "Does that mean I will get more and more skills that require more Bonk Bites?"

[Yes. The ability will also become even more powerful.]

"That's good for a long run. For now, I can use Bonk Smasher fifteen times. I don't need it to fight goblins, so yeah, don't need this." Albert looked down, contemplating his choice. "By the way, is there a way to get more skills?"

[There are three missions open for you right now.]

"Oh, what are they?"

Mission: Complete 30 Bonks (10/30)

Reward: Swift Bonk

Mission: Complete 50 Bonks (10/50)

Reward: Counter Bonk

Mission: Kill 50 Normal Living Creatures (10/50)

Reward: Anti-Horny Shield

"Hmm?" Albert furrowed his eyebrows and rested his chin in his hand, looking at the three missions. "There are three missions… First of all, why does the normal creature mission not have the 30 one?"

[We're bonking horny people.]

"…" Albert's eyebrows twitched. "That makes sense."

"How about the Swift Bonk?"

[You should acquire it first. There will be a description later.]

"Fair enough. Though, this Anti-Horny Shield is rather intriguing." Albert gulped down. "Well, it's too embarrassing for me to say it out loud, you know. I mean, I'm fine doing it with Bonk Smasher, but this Anti-Horny Shield is just too much. Can't you change its name?"

[No. There is an importance for a name. If you wave your sword downward and call it 'swing,' you will be able to imagine what kind of movement you need to make just by hearing 'Swing.']

"Ya, that makes sense."

[Then, the reason you need to say that is to enhance that effect. This is also to increase your morale. You have watched a war movie back on Earth where the infantries are running toward the enemies while shouting. It will give you an additional morale boost when you attack your enemy. That's why they're essential.]

"I know about it, but saying Anti Horny Shield out loud is freaking embarrassing."

[You can say it out loud in your mind then.]

"I can? I often talk to you in my mind, so can I do that too?"

[Yes. But you will lose that additional morale…]

"No problem." Albert nodded with a serious expression. "It's better than keep saying horny, horny, and horny during a battle. Bonk is good for now since this world doesn't know what this slang means.

"Anyway, I am satisfied to know that I can say it inwardly. Is there a chance that I don't need to say anything?"

[…]

"Not going to answer my question huh…" Albert let out a long sigh. "Well, I will be satisfied for now. I can test it too, but welp, it's time for me to continue my hunt. I don't think I can finish the missions today.

"At the same time, I need to make the goblins horny first… I wonder if I can ask anyone for help…" Albert sighed. "I don't think so. I guess I need to focus on the Anti-Horny Shield first. Forty goblins left…"

After getting his answer, Albert bent down his knees and started severing the goblin ears with his bat again.

However, he soon heard numerous footsteps coming towards him at fast speed.

"!!!" Albert raised his vision and checked the sound again before hiding behind a tree, finding another two goblins running in his direction. They seemed to be moving randomly as there wasn't any monster chasing after them.

After that, he continued to kill more goblins in the area as they were the easiest monsters to kill.

…

While he was hunting, a female warrior was bending down her knees, touching the ground. Next to the spot she touched was a foot trail.

The trail looked like a paw and the size was smaller than a human's palm. She grabbed the dirt and furrowed her eyebrows. "I think they passed through this area not long ago. Probably an hour or two."

A muscular cyclops raised his giant wooden club and placed it on his shoulder while saying, "Are you sure? I don't like where this is going…"

"What are you talking about?" A one-horned oni asked while tilting his head in confusion. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"If I am not wrong, it has been seven months since you came to the town."

"Y-yes."

"No wonder you don't know about it. This is just a constant problem for us." The cyclops sighed, saying, "We need to set up a subjugation squad and start fortifying our defense. Just looking at the trails, there seem to be around a hundred wolves traveling in this area."

The one-horned oni trembled as he looked left and right, observing how the trails stretched from one side to another.

"Anyway, I don't think the wolves will be that powerful. And it's already this season, so I guess we really can't complain." The human warrior sighed as she finally stood up, looking at the cyclops. "We will be returning to the town right away."

"This season? What are you talking about? We are still in the summer and spring is still one month away." The one-horned oni tried to explain.

However, the cyclops stopped him with a head shake. "She's not talking about that kind of season."

"Huh?"

"She is talking about wolf mating season."
