Chapter 4 – Revenge(1)
*
‘Natasha wants to avenge her tribe…I got some good information.’
Rina nodded. If you think about Natasha’s personality in her previous life, that’s how it was.
Anyone would dream of revenge if their families and tribes were exterminated in the first place.
In her previous life, Natasha was raped by bandits, and sold as a slave a few years later, so revenge was impossible.
“Is that Kerry… “
He is a man who is an adventurer. He is a seemingly insignificant man, but for some reason he is passionately courted by Natasha.
It was quite absurd for Lina, who had only seen Natasha hating men in her previous life.
‘This must be Natasha’s true self.’
The current Natasha was fresh and cute.
To the extent that it is impossible to imagine the appearance of Natasha, who was called the red madwoman in her previous life and was crazy about blood.
For some reason, I couldn’t get close to Natasha in this episode, but with Kerry’s help, I might have a chance.
Lina and Kerry went to Natasha.
“Natasha.”
“West!”
Ann, why do you keep calling me the West?
“You said you were going to get revenge on Natasha’s bandits, right?”
“Yes. As long as I get my body back, somehow…”
“I don’t know either… I heard that those guys are scary. Stronger than the bandits who captivated us…”
“Yes. The bandits here… Are not the ones who slaughtered my tribe. The guys who slaughtered our Maruna tribe… Left me and my grandmother to the bandits and went somewhere.”
“Did you hear?”
Kerry looked at Lina and said.
“Yes. Natasha. Weren’t the guys who massacred the Maruna tribe…A skeletal skinny man with a big pig nose?”
“!”
It was obvious how Lina knew that fact. You must have heard it from Natasha in your previous life.
“Natasha. Lina-sama knows about them.”
“Is that true?”
“Yes. Actually, I’m the ones I’ve been chasing since before…”
Is that word real? It could have been a gimmick to appease Natasha, but if true, it means that they are dangerous enough to return and try to get rid of them right away.
“… If it’s okay, Natasha, would you like to move with me?”
Lina asked Natasha with a secretly longing look.
Lina’s strength has already been proven before. With her, it was clear that Natasha’s revenge would be smoother.
But for some reason, Natasha rolled her eyes and felt hesitant.
Even though Lina sent a favor by saying she would help her avenge her, Natasha still didn’t seem to like Lina.
To be precise, it was like looking at a couple. It wasn’t blatant, though.
‘Does he think I have something with Lina?’
Even so, it was about avenging the tribe, and I never imagined that I would consider joining Lina.
“Natasha. Lina is strong. It will help you with your revenge. Of course, like I promised last time, I will help you avenge it… But actually, I’m not that strong.”
“…”
After she hesitated, Natasha replied that she couldn’t do it after all.
“…Yes. Lina. Let’s move together.”
Lina squeezed her hands together at those words.
That’s how a party of 4 was formed: Lina, Natasha, Kerry, and Grandma. With this, I had an excuse to stay next to the regressor for a while.
*
After a short break, we followed Lina to the village to take her hostages.
There, Lina not only provided a place for the women to sleep, but she also commissioned a large guild to guard them.
‘Inn expenses… Security expenses… Food expenses… How much is that? Our regressor is too cheesy?’
It’s not bad news that regressors have big hands. Aren’t you spending too much money? It was only for a moment that I was worried that the amount of soybean water falling on me might be decreasing.
“Thank you! Lina. Thank you very much. Her husband also died, and I was really at a loss as to how to live on from now on…Hehe…Hehe”
“Thank you very much, Kerry. It was really cool when you stopped bandits then.”
I nodded my head naturally when I saw the women sending their thanks with tears flowing from their snot.
If left alone, more than half of those women would have died and the rest would have become whores. As a prison mate, that’s a sad thing.
“We will also stay overnight in this village today.”
Lina was cool and found a room for me to stay. Meals, of course.
She had luggage in her old town, but she was almost worth the rent owed, so she didn’t feel the need to go get it.
Lina said she wanted to get to know Natasha and that she would hang out with the girls in the big room.
‘Big. Feel so good. Free lodging in another world.’
It seemed that Lina had quite a bit of money in her hands.
Originally, it may have been from a family with a lot of money, or it may have been easy to make money in some way as a regressor.
Upon entering the room, I see well-organized bedding and furniture. It is a fairly useful inn.
‘In addition, the rice was delicious… I like the feeling of leaving the returner bus?’
When Lina and the four of her were having dinner, her old woman had said this.
[Before taking revenge on them, you need a lot of materials to remove the curse on Natasha.]
[What do you need?]
[Hobgoblin’s heart, laughing flower leaves, salamander’s tail, etc. There are many miscellaneous things, but I can prepare them. However…]
[You mean the Hobgoblin’s heart is hard for her grandmother to get?]
[Okay. Natasha and I will prepare the other ingredients, so the pretty wife and the adventurer man save the heart.]
[You can call me Rina. Elderly.]
[I also feel free to call her Kerry. Grandmother. But how does grandma know those ingredients?]
[Ahem. That’s because I’m the best magician in the Maruna tribe!]
It was pretty much this conversation.
The sun had gone down on the way to this village today, so I decided to go find Lina and the Hobgoblin early tomorrow morning.
“I’m afraid of Hobgoblin… Will it be okay?”
From my standards as an F-class adventurer, Hobgoblin is a bit burdensome. It’s not that I can’t catch it at all, but I’m a little worried about it.
Since I’m with the regressor, it should be safe. You can’t take off your tail just because you’re afraid of the Hobgoblin.
‘More than anything else, tomorrow is the time to be alone with Lina… So maybe we can get closer.’
I saw hope for the first time in another world. The hope that maybe I will be able to make a good living here.
‘Whoa. Because I think it’s catchy. It’s already dark outside. I thought I would fall asleep from exhaustion.’
I was thirsty, so I thought it would be better to get a glass of water and then sleep soundly.
Kerry descended the creaky stairs of the inn. You can see men drinking alcohol here and there.
Some pretty wives waved their hands from a distance, but when I looked closely, they were the same cellmates.
I was too tired to be part of the women’s party, so I just waved my hand. Kerry got a drink from her innkeeper and she immediately went up to her room.
The women who were waving their hands licked their lips in regret.
“Oops, I’m sorry. I thought she was drinking with an adventurer…”
“Oops. This revealing woman is a manly woman!”
“What am I? I just wanted to have a drink with you.”
“Are you pretending not to know at an age when you already know everything?”
“Hmm. Honestly… Now that I’m a widow, what’s up? Besides, my husband has never been nice to me in his life. My husband, like an adventurer, said, ‘Everyone run away! I’ll stop you.’ It’s not like this, he would have just abandoned me and ran away.”
“Heh. Adventurer was cool back then. He has a white face and flawless skin, like a young boy who has never done farm work before.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Why is the young master of an aristocratic family working as an adventurer?”
“I don’t know. Like a fallen aristocratic boy. Hehe. More than anything… To be honest, the adventurer’s things I saw in prison at that time were really… Heuuuuu.”
“Shh! I must be crazy. What if someone hears it?”
“How are you? Who said something bad? It was a compliment.”
“It was twice as big as my husband, who vaguely thought this would be useful… “
Once the story came up, the women talked nonstop about Kerry’s big things they had seen with their own eyes.
*
It’s morning. When she came out of the inn at the appointed time, Lina was waiting for her after she had finished her preparations.
“You came out early.”
“Lina-sama came out earlier. What.”
Kerry’s equipment was quite plausible. Of all the equipment of the dead bandits, she had everything useful.
Even before I was caught by bandits, it was so hard to get a proper leather armor.
‘A leather armor, a long sword, a gourd sword, and even a potion for wounds.’
It is said that tigers leave their skins when they die, and bandits leave behind their equipment when they die.
“Then let’s go now.”
Departing without saying good-bye to if you had a good night’s sleep. Will everyone become so cold when they return?
Without saying a word, I followed Lina who was walking ahead. It was enough to notice that she was upset about something, but the feelings of the regressor reflected in her goddess eyes were different.
[Emotion – Hope. Expectations. Refreshing.]
On the surface, the ice is dripping, but it is hopeful and happy. Regressors seem to have a hard time dating people.
But she just kept walking without saying a word, so she couldn’t stand it because it was so awkward.
“Come to think of it…How did Lina-sama come alive?”
“…I was on the road and they started fighting.”
“Ah…”
To say you were killed because you had a fight. It was obvious that she was actually looking for Natasha, but she chose to move on.
“If you will excuse me, may I ask where she is from?”
As seen through the eyes of a goddess, Lina’s birthplace is Astria. She doesn’t know where she never heard of it
She’d lived in this world for about two years, but she wasn’t very knowledgeable about her geography.
“…Even if you tell me, you won’t know. She came from far.”
“…Yes. You look like me. I’m from far too. Korea…”
“Korea…Is definitely a place I’ve never heard of.”
Lina feels like hitting a wall, as if to stop asking about her origins. She didn’t ask any more because she had seen it with the eyes of the goddess anyway.
The conversation was mainly a flow in which I asked a question and Lina answered.
I was worried that I might not like it because of Lina’s cold and awkward expression, but it was in vain.
[Status – Hope. Expectations. Refreshing. Crush.]
Considering that the state of liking was added, it could be said that the reaction was rather good.
‘She’s a hard woman.’
But Kerry knew that people who didn’t pretend to be good people were surprisingly genuine.
“I see the Hobgoblin over there.”
At Lina’s words, I instinctively lowered my stance. The Hobgoblin was seen leading several goblins.
“Three goblins are also with us.”
“Kerry, please wait here. I will take care of it.”
“No. Then there would be no meaning to what I followed. I will catch the three goblins.”
Lina smiled and nodded her head. I think I scored again.
Lina runs out first, and Kerry runs out as well. The hobgoblins and goblins who found us groaned and screamed.
Goblins are definitely small monsters, but their habits and wrinklely green skin reminded them of little devils.
In addition, goblins are terrible creatures known for raping any race they capture. By the way, when I first came to this world, I was almost raped by goblins, so I hated goblins.
“Look! Rape bastards!”
Kerry swung her two-handed sword from the bandits. The two-handed sword was her first weapon, but it was of much better quality than the crude bakdo she had been using.
A goblin that could only reach Kerry’s waist was cut to pieces in an instant.
“Damn you raping bastards! This is justice!”
Two goblins still left. They seemed to be a little frightened by the power of the two-handed sword, and were confronting each other while hesitating.
“Kiruk! Whoops! Kik!”
“It’s noisy, so shut up!”
I swung a two-handed sword at two goblins standing side by side. One of them evaded by rolling on the ground, but the other was cut in half by a two-handed sword.
“Harm?”
It would be difficult for someone the size of a Hobgoblin to be relaxed, but it wouldn’t be a problem if there were only three goblins.
The equipment there is good. A two-handed sword! I’d say it’s one of the best weapons I’ve ever used.
‘Is this what strength is?’
The sudden equipment upgrade made me feel stronger.
I was helplessly defeated by the bandit boss, but that was because the bandit boss was too strong.
‘If I have this kind of equipment, I can use it for an adventure. Isn’t it time to show off your stronger power? It might be better to quickly organize it and help Lina…’
Rather than taking a chance in front of a weak opponent, he decided that it would be better to finish quickly and join the Hobgoblin’s battle to be seen by the regressors.
“This is the final blow!”
I skewered one of the remaining goblins rolling on the ground with a two-handed sword.
“Kieek…”
“Lina. I’ve taken care of everything. I will help…”
“This one is over.”
When it was over, the Hobgoblin was dead with her tongue sticking out on her floor. The atmosphere seemed to have been looking this way, as if it had ended a long time ago.
I got pretty frustrated.
‘Chew…Did you watch it all?’
This side caused an uproar because of the three goblins, but Lina was just watching after killing the hobgoblins without a word.
“You met the Hobgoblin sooner than I thought. I think we can go back early.”
“Yes. I will do the slaughter.”
“No. I’ll do it.”
She dared to take what Lina was willing to do and began to cut out the hobgoblin’s heart.
‘Shin Se-ji’s circumstances… I can’t make her do even bad things.’
To be honest, Rina was objectively beautiful enough to make her eyes her pop out, so she was selfless.
Could it be that Natasha was wary of this? She probably isn’t Because she cares not to show off.
She cut off the Hobgoblin’s tough skin and cut out her dripping heart her.
“It is over. Let’s go back.”
“Yes.”
I was on my way back with the Hobgoblin’s heart in my bag. Suddenly, I remembered what I had been thinking about all night last night.
After spending time together with Lina, she didn’t seem to be the bloodless, tearless woman she seemed on the outside, so she was a little courageous.
“Lina. Can I ask you just one question?”
“Yes.”
“Do you know how to use this?”
Kerry took out her magic orb, which she had tucked away in her pocket.
She might be able to learn from the Regressor how to handle her mana her, including how to use her orbs her if she did well.
