Chapter 104 Two Bullies

Erwin's face lit up like a kid on Christmas morning as he exclaimed, "ah! I found it!" while crouching down to pluck a pink-colored grass with red edges.

After scouring the forest for an hour, Erwin had been on the brink of throwing in the towel and pursuing a more "lucrative" career, like becoming a professional cuddler. But the sight of the small herb gave him a renewed sense of purpose and motivation to continue his herb-gathering adventure.

"Mmmm, let's see... Ah, here it is!" Erwin said, holding up the borrowed book from Valara and wiping off some dust. "Koromina grass! The magical herb known for its stamina-boosting properties!"

Erwin couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Who would have thought that a simple grass could have such magical properties? Maybe he could make a fortune selling this stuff to marathon runners or overworked office employees.

As he read through the herb's description, Erwin learned that the Koromina grass was more effective when combined with other magical herbs like Faeleaf or Moon Blossom. He imagined himself as a mad scientist mixing up a potent brew that would turn him into an unstoppable machine.

With a newfound sense of excitement, Erwin continued his search, eager to find more Koromina grass and potentially stumble upon some other magical herbs that could make him filthy rich.

he continued to comb through the forest, Erwin's eyes were sharp and alert, scanning the ground for any sign of the pink grass. And then, he spotted them - two more stalks of Koromina grass! They were situated right next to the one he had already found, as if they were old friends reuniting after a long time apart.

Erwin grinned to himself, feeling as though he had just hit the jackpot. With three stalks of Koromina grass, he could create a small fortune's worth of stamina potions. He delicately plucked the two new stalks and carefully placed them in his herb pouch, making sure not to damage the delicate red edges. The herb pouch had been given to him by Valara.

Erwin mentally reminded himself to express his gratitude towards Valara when he returned to town. "I should give her a massage to thank her," he mused to himself. "Or maybe it's just a good way to help her release some of that pent-up frustration she seems to be holding onto. She was just as frustrated as that horned girl. What was her name again? Rera? tyra? sera...yeah Seraphina."

As Erwin continued to collect the Koromina grass, he couldn't shake the thought of Valara's cold demeanor. He wondered if she was always like this or if something had happened to make her this way. Maybe giving her a massage would help ease her tension and open her up to talking about it.

"but do that? I have to open her leg first." Erwin said as he thought about her big thighs squeezing his face when he licked her vagina like there was no tomorrow. "I wish she would agree to sit on my face."

Erwin continued his search and stumbled upon two more herbs. By this time, the sun was now directly overhead. Erwin let out a content sigh as he added the new herbs to his pouch, feeling a sense of accomplishment wash over him. It was a beautiful day, and he relished the opportunity to be out in the fresh air, surrounded by the lush greenery of the jungle.

Suddenly, the peaceful silence was disrupted by the sound of two boys laughing and shouting in the distance.

Erwin was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the two boys. He had been so engrossed in his work that he hadn't noticed them approaching. After some time, two teenage boys got into clear view of Erwin. They were both dressed in the student's uniform of university.

One of them had a head of blonde hair, blue eyes and a handsome face with a look that said everyone was underneath him. The other boy had brown hair and brown eyes, a scrawny build, with an ordinary face having a dumb look. When they saw a low life gathering herbs, a cruel and mischievous look appeared on their faces.

He tried to ignore them and went back to gathering herbs, but the boys seemed to have other plans. They sauntered over to where Erwin was crouched down, poking fun at his meager haul of herbs.

"Hey, look at this loser! What are you doing out here, playing with flowers?" the brown-haired boy jeered. He seemed like a lackey of the blonde boy.

'what's fucking wrong with these fuckers?' Erwin thought and tried to ignore them as he thought they either from nobility or very rich as not anybody could enter this academy making a thoughtful decision in a while and focus on his work, but the boys continued to taunt him. Angered by the snub attitude of this little brat, the brown-haired boy by the indiction of the blond boy snatched the herbs out of his hands and tossed them into the air, sending them scattering all over the ground.

Erwin felt his anger and frustration start to boil up inside him. He worked hard to collect those herbs, and now they were ruined. He thought of many vulgar insults he was gonna spout at them, but he knew he couldn't let these boys get the better of him.

He stood up and faced them, his voice firm and steady. "What do you want? Why are you doing this?"

The boys just laughed at a meager nobody standing up for himself and enjoying the power they had over Erwin. They pushed him around and continued to taunt him, completely disregarding the hard work and effort he had put into collecting the herbs.

Despite his growing frustration, Erwin knew that he couldn't retaliate against the boys just yet. Though he had become more impulsive since transmigrating into this world, he also knew that picking a fight with these bullies would only lead to trouble. So he silently took their abuse.

'This is nothing. You both soon to be my stepsons. I have taken much worse abuse than this'. Erwin thought as they were roughing him up. After they had their fun, the blond boy said, "this ought to have taught him a lesson." he got near Erwin laying on the ground bruised "right?".he said. Erwin answered with a low moan, agreeing. The lackey chimed in, "that's right." While leaving.

After the boys left, Erwin struggled to his feet, groaning in pain. As he looked around at the scattered herbs, he couldn't help but feel angry and frustrated. He decided to let it all out, "you fuckers, I am gonna fuck your mothers, sisters, your future wives and girlfriends, you pieces of rich little shits."

He shouted profanities at the boys, hoping they could hear him from where they were. He knew it wouldn't change anything, but it felt good to release his pent-up emotions. He took a deep breath and began collecting the scattered herbs once again.He picked up his pace and began searching for more herbs, as it was still early in the afternoon and he wanted to make the most of his time in the jungle.

He moved deeper into the jungle, his eyes scanning the ground for any sign of the herbs he needed. After a while, he came across a clearing filled with the plants he was looking for. He felt a surge of excitement and got to work.

As he made his way back to the city, his mind was filled with thoughts of the encounter. He was determined not to let those boys get the better of him again. He knew he had to find a way to stand up to them and put an end to their bullying. Lost in thought, the sound of horses trotting on cobblestones and people walking and talking got in his ears and he got the view of the dirt road going toward the city.

Carriages creaked by, their wooden wheels grinding against the dirt road, while horses snorted and neighed in protest. Merchants led caravans of goods, their brightly colored wares piled high on wagons.Erwin saw groups of mercenaries marching with their armor glinting in the sunlight, their swords clanking against their sides. He saw hunters carrying deer and boar slung over their shoulders, and other herb gatherers like himself, carrying sacks filled with various plants and flowers.

The road was lined with people from all walks of life, chattering and shouting as they made their way to the city. Some looked at Erwin curiously, wondering what he was carrying in his own pouch. Others ignored him completely, lost in their own thoughts and concerns.

Despite the surrounding him, Erwin felt a sense of peace as he walked among his fellow travelers. The traffic of the middle ages was a stark contrast to the modern world he had left behind, but he found himself appreciating the simplicity and authenticity of this era.

He joined the dirt road with his fellow traveler taking sites. As he walked, Erwin noticed that the traffic on the road was getting denser, and the noise level was rising. He realized that he was getting closer to the city gates.

The gates themselves were imposing, made of thick stone walls with wooden doors reinforced with iron bands. Erwin could see guards standing watch on either side of the gates, their armor shining in the sunlight.

He felt a sense of excitement and nervousness as he approached the gates. This was his first time going into the city as a normal person, and he didn't know what to expect.
