Chapter 4: Hundreds Years of Silent Had Worsened My Communication Disorder

As I approached and came into the four-man partys line of sight, they froze in place as if forgetting their battle against the wild boar demon.

They immediately changed their focus to me, huh.

It made me who never met a human for who knows how long it was, a little nervous.

On the other hand, the wild boar who was fiercely fighting them a moment ago.

BUFUUUU!?

It was running away at full speed while making a rough huffing noise from its nose.

Thus, only me and the party was left in this place.

Was I really that scary?

As we stood across each other in silence, I observed the composition of the adventurer party.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

In front, there were two people acting as a vanguard. A burly middle-aged man who held a giant battleaxe on his hand, pretty clear that he was a warrior. And a hunky bald middle-aged man with a cane in his hand. I couldnt really identify his class and role in the party though, his equipment as priest didnt match his physique at all.

Behind them was a young swordswoman who seemed to be the youngest in their party..

And lastly, a man in light armor whose position was not in formation, a thief I suppose. His age was hard to determine though.

The silence continued for some time as we keep staring at each other.

Come to think of it. W-What should I do next?

Though I felt relieved now that I finally met humans, I had no idea about what to say in this situation.

I meant, I was a poor talker even when I was still alive.

Furthermore, as I had been loitering around the dungeon as an undead and killed demons right and left, It seemed that my communicative ability deteriorated even further.

I didnt think I could break the ice.

As I was still being bewildered, fussing on how to break this awkward silence, I noticed that the four-man partys face was getting paler and paler as if plunged into the abyss of despair.

Could it be that they recognized me as some kind of dangerous demons?

No way, my figure and appearance were clearly humans. Although the hair and eye color were uncommon, it was still far away from the characteristic of an undead.

As long as they know that I could understand their words, the other party's vigilance should be lowered a little bit.

Okay.

Let's start with a greeting.

A bright and lively Good day should do the job!

. G.. ay.(ED: Gay memes appear in my head as I read this)

Despite my effort, only a small, disintegrated voice came out of my lips.

I mean, I had yet to get used to the act of speaking.

Nevertheless, it was still counted as a greeting.

I felt like I finally take a great step forward.

By now, they shouldve realized that I was not a dangerous existence, right? Optimistically, I peered to the partys reaction. What greeted me was expressions of people that ready to fight to the death.

Wait a minute, what's with their reaction!?

I sent my greeting properly, right?

Why did they become more vigilant than before?

Looking at their stance and expression, they were basically about to pounce toward me at any moment.

Kuh, j-just where did it goes wro!?

Ah, I knew it.

The greeting was missinga smile!

It might be due to my expressionless face combined with the nervous, almost inaudible voice that my greeting didnt reach them.

No wonder my greeting backfired instead.

Thus, I desperately tried to move the muscle around my face to form a smile.

Smile~

After a bit of twitching, I made a brilliant smile.

Or so I thought.

The result of that smile was pretty devastating.

The warrior suddenly raised a bestial roar.

UOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

And then, he leaped at me with resolute expression to bet his life.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!?

WHY DID MY SMILING FACE BACKFIRED INSTEAD!?

The burly warrior swung his giant battleaxe onto my head.

As the battleaxe coming closer, a thought came at me.

Could it be that this axe was strong enough to kill me?

It would be nice if it could.

The other three adventurers also followed up by muttering those words as if they couldnt believe what they saw.

Erm.w-what should I do now?

I never expected that the first people I met for a long time would suddenly attack me as I greet them.

But fortunately, I came out unscathed.

It's true that they attacked me first but, I didnt mind it though since all of their attacks didnt have any effect on me.

Thus, I had to show them that I was not angry with their sudden attack just now.

We might start a friendly conversation after that.

Though it failed before, I would make sure that the power of smile will work this time.

Then, I gave the best smile I could ever do.

Smile~

HIIIIIIIIIIIII.

The adventurer partys expression dropped a notch.

They. became even more frightened than before.

Then, around that time.

With his hand slightly trembling in fear, the warrior took out a crystal that emitted an eerie aura from his pouch.

It's sink or swim situation so Let's use this!

After screaming that line to pluck up his courage, he threw the crystal to me.

PARINN!

The crystal broke right in front of me.

The next moment, the scenery in front of me suddenly distorted as if the space itself was ripped apart.

?

Was this, some kind of attack.

Nothing was happening though, not to my body, nor my surrounding.

It was just the scenery in front of me seems distorted, thats all.

But then, a huge shadow came out from the ripped space. It kept getting larger and larger until it blocked the sun from my view.

A huge goat-like monster with lower half of a horse appeared on the place where the scenery was distorted a moment ago.

Strangely, there was a pair of jet-black wings on its back and a pair of curved-winding horns on both sides of its head. Furthermore, the goats whole body was covered with bright red furs.

It seemed that the crystal was a medium of forced summoning magic, or something like that.

That's. a Devil?

. The creature known as a Devil was said created by the evil God and also the inhabitant of the spirit world.

Though every individual had different traits, the most common traits between them were their jet-black wings, the pair of horns on their head, and their high combat prowess.

Even skilled adventurers could barely win against the lowest rank Devil.

UOOOOOOOOOOO!

After standing still for a bit, the Devil raised a terrifying roar. It seemed to be pissed of after forcibly summoned to this place.

They actually got high intelligence and it was possible to talk to some high-rank devil. But, the one in front of me didnt seem to be that type.

While I was pondering about that matter, I realized that only the devil and I was left in this place.

EH, THOSE GUYS HAD ESCAPEEEED!

The moment I got distracted by the devil, the four adventurers turned around and escaped as fast as they can.

What the. come back here you guys.

Why the hell did you summon this goat and then ran away immediately?

Did you think I could be a friend with this abomination of a devil?

I only wanted to meet and talk to some people.

Was that too hard for you to accompany me for a bit?

While I was still retorting in my head, the Devil aimed its wrath toward me, the first one it saw.

The winged half-goat, half-centaur creature charged toward me with its massive body frame.

Usually, I would let the attack hit me and tried to die. But, I didnt want to die from this Devil attack.

There was a rumor that people who killed by Devil would become the subordinate of them.

I would be glad if I die, but I didnt want to be this things subordinate.

With that being the reason plus annoyed to the four adventurers that tried to eave me here, I unintentionally punched the Devil.

BAAAM!

What followed the collision between my punch and the Devil's charge was a terrifying explosive sound.

Yes, explosion, as for what exploded, it was the lower-half of the Devils horse-like lower half.

Blood and entrails scattered around.

The Devil who got half of its body blown off fell to the ground and stopped breathing.

Before it drew its last breath, The Devil looked at me with a shocked, incredulous expression.

Please don't look at me like that, I was really shocked too you know.
