Episode 16

For a moment, I couldn’t believe my ears.

Or maybe I thought I was looking at the other person wrong.

But Kaham Ruhaman was right.

Wearing light armor that focuses on movement and leather gloves.

Even that unlucky face.

Clearly, Kaham Ruhaman was right.

Why are you talking to me?

I was embarrassed.

It was surprising that he talked to me after being treated like that yesterday.

If it were him, I wouldn’t have been able to go hunting.

Who could approach a person who has brought shame on them in a friendly way?

All I could think was that he had done something.

Or, it makes me wonder if I got hit less.

“You mean me?”

I hoped not.

Even if it was me, my facial skin wasn’t thick enough to go around with someone who had beaten me up.

“Do you not like it?”

hate.

It was natural that I didn’t like it.

I couldn’t understand his thoughts at all, to the point where I wanted to open his head as he spoke to me.

I hope it was a joke and not sincerity.

If it was sincere, that was troublesome in its own way.

I’m definitely not recommending the team in a good way.

‘The eyes are full of life.’

The mouth was smiling, but the eyes were not.

It seems like he’s saying, ‘I’m going to get into trouble’ and he’s full of life.

He said he didn’t want to be close to someone with eyes like that.

However, it may be more dangerous to drop that thing.

If you drop it for no reason and it becomes a bigger problem, you will be in trouble.

In another sense, he is like a scoundrel.

Dangerous to keep close and dangerous to keep far away.

I was worried that he might suddenly start swinging a knife in a place where no one was around.

It’s clear that yesterday’s sparring was very upsetting.

The way he glares at me is so hot that it stings.

“But do you mind? Me and Kaham Youngsik are on different teams...”

“It’s okay. “Raymond Youngsik can keep everything he has gained through hunting.”

“If you say so... let’s do it together.”

I don’t know what your intentions are, but you won’t be able to achieve what you want to do.

No matter what you do, I will completely block it.

“It’s dangerous, so please don’t go too deep.”

Before entering the hunting ground, I received instructions from the driver.

Only after receiving confirmation a couple of times did the drivers let us inside.

Perhaps it is because many of the descendants of renowned nobles are included.

They paid extra attention.

“Then shall we go in too?”

“Of course.”

Kaham maintained a smile, raising the stiff corners of his mouth.

The fact that my cheeks were shaking made me feel like I was putting in effort.

What method should I use?

As I entered the forest, I thought of things that Kaham could use.

It’s like a raid trap provocation.

Other than that, not much came to mind.

Because there wasn’t much about him in the original work.

There was nothing else to know.

Or maybe there’s something inside those gloves.

“Why are you wearing gloves? “I don’t think I was involved yesterday.”

“Oh, this...”

He scratched his cheek sheepishly and avoided answering.

I watched him like that and walked away.

Rustling.

As I walked in the silence, the bushes in the distance shook.

He muffled the sound of his footsteps and motioned for Kaham behind him to be quiet.

There might be something in those bushes. At least there could have been orcs.

There was no harm in being careful in advance.

I put my hand on the handle and looked at the bushes.

I feel a hot gaze on the back of my head.

Does not matter.

From now on, I will be ‘acting’ as the main character.

In ‘hunting’, there is nothing better than the strength of the main character.

Upright.

Long ears stuck out.

Those ears were animal ears that can still be seen in modern times.

Pure white fur.

That animal that came out of the bush was a rabbit...

Chwiik.

I think I’ll be amazed.

It was my first time feeling like this.

I feel pretty fucked up.

Guilt for taking a life?

Or the fear of killing one another for the first time in one’s life.

Many complicated feelings tormented me.

Maybe I feel this way more because I killed a human-like monster similar to me.

Whatever it is, what’s important now is.

I can’t bear this feeling right now.

[The ‘Nameless God’ looks at you with worried eyes.]

[It is recommended that the ‘Nameless God’ ‘act’ the character.] You

want me to act?

Although I had a moment of doubt.

I immediately became more immersed in the ‘acting’ of the main character.

I thought about what the main character would be feeling right now.

OK.

“Whew...”

My mind calmed down surprisingly quickly.

I no longer felt repulsed by the idea of killing.

I took a deep breath and straightened my lower back.

He put the sword back into its scabbard and looked down at the dead orc.

Unlike just now, when my heart was pounding like it was going to explode, I felt comfortable now.

It feels like looking at pork.

It was nothing more and nothing less.

“I told you to bring the molar.”

He took out the dagger hanging in his arms and opened the orc’s mouth.

In the case of such large objects, it was said that by-products such as molars could be brought.

It would have been better to carry the entire body, but my strength was not good enough to carry a body of this size.

And there was no reason for that.

I just need to bring proof that I caught an orc.

“As expected, you are Raymond Youngsik.”

As I was pulling out the orc’s molar and putting it in my pocket, Kaham, who had been quiet until then, approached and spoke to me.

“I never thought you would catch an orc. “To be honest, I was a little surprised.”

Were we close enough to have this conversation?

What are you thinking when you talk to me?

He also speaks in a very friendly manner.

“I apologize for what happened yesterday.”

I was quite embarrassed by his sudden apology.

For a moment, I picked my ears to see if I had heard something wrong.

“Then let’s move.”

Kaham took the lead in an embarrassingly bright voice.

***

Beatrice decided to move alone.

Although he was confident in his skills, he had no desire to hang out with the children of other nobles.

It was difficult and annoying to separate them as they tried to cling to each other somehow.

Above all, after that incident, I refused to attend the banquet.

-This is the order of the Magic Tower Lord. Participate in this banquet.

She wouldn’t have come here even if her father had not ordered her to do so.

‘I just hate loud things.’

Although I attended the banquet, I stayed in my dorm.

Even though I was in the dorm, I could hear everything.

This is because her children who came to get her attention told her various news.

Raymond beat Kaham.

However, among the news they brought was information about Raymond.

As soon as I heard his words, I remembered seeing him in the training room.

That day too, he was being violent towards a fellow classmate.

I didn’t like it back then, but now they’re using violence even in a banquet hall for social gatherings.

‘Why would you save a guy like that?’

I just couldn’t understand that thought.

What good did such an idiot sacrifice his body for?

Beatrice immediately shook her head to shake off distracting thoughts.

I didn’t like the thought of him.

So I decided to just stop paying attention.

I entered the forest alone, refusing to let my children join me.

I moved with the thought that catching one rabbit or deer would be enough.

“Uh...”

How long did it take?

Her legs became stiff.

In front of her were orcs with red, bloodshot eyes.

They looked back at her, drool dripping.

‘Oh orc.’

Her legs trembled. Her brother Jerion came to mind.

At that time, her brother became a vegetable while trying to protect Raymond and himself from orcs.

Memories of that time came back and tormented her.

Kuuuuuu!

The orcs screamed and rushed at her.

Beatrice’s face turned pale as she looked at it.
