Chapter 36 – Kunoichi. But Now With Slime.
“Looks like we’ve arrived.”
“Already?”
“I told you. It’s not too far.”
It seems that they arrived at the camp while contemplating how to induce a conversation.
Looking over the old man’s shoulder, I saw something like a simple fortress made of wooden fences. Is that a camp?
As we approached, the soldiers standing guard on the fence shouted.
“This is the Southern Wilderness Deforestation Camp under the command of Count Arpagon! Clear your business!”
“I received a request from the Mercenary Guild to subdue a man-eating bear!”
Roin took out a bronze plaque from his bosom and showed it to me, shouting.
“Is the deforestation camp for the lords?”
“The development right around the territory belongs to the lord. The field work will be delegated to professional lumberjacks, and the count will periodically come and check on the work.”
“Then the camp manager is a commoner who is a lumberjack, right?”
“Yes.”
Well, nobility can’t be a rotting world, and there can’t be a noble aristocrat sitting in a lumberyard.
“Oh, the door is open. Let’s go in.”
Rowin took the lead and entered. As he entered after him, the hot eyes of the soldiers were fixed on the old man.
I understand. These guys would be dispatched and stand guard, but there’s no way there would be women in a camp like this.
I still feel bad. I’ll be sure to buy a robe later. Roin’s breast will only be seen by me.
I stepped forward and covered the old man’s body while standing and talking to the soldier.
“Where is the person in charge of this camp?”
“Um, great. Go to the biggest tent over there.”
The soldier cleared his throat and pointed to a building with his hand. It is more than twice as large as other tents in the vicinity.
“Mr. Smith, are you there?”
“Who are you?”
When I called my name in front of the tent, Mr. Smith came out clearing the entrance of the tent.
Blond hair, tanned skin, and a stocky, muscular body built from hard logging work.
Fuck, you bastard is Golden Sun!!!!
The enemy of pure love that needs to be killed right away, one of the three NTR brothers!!!
By the way, the second is a pig with glasses that seems to handle hypnosis.
I spoke first so that I could not even talk to the women with my alertness raised to the maximum.
“I came from the mercenary guild for a man-eating bear request.”
“Ah, you came quickly. The logging site is southeast of the camp, outside the fence. A lot of trees have been cut down and laid down, so you can tell it’s a logging site just by looking at it. If you look there, you will find bear footprints. Or should I direct you directly?”
“No, thanks.”
“Be careful. Some of the workers were eaten by them. They know the taste of people, so they’ll run at you as soon as they see you.”
“Thank you. Good job.”
Where is this golden sun bastard trying to flirt with my girls, it will never work. It’s good to get away from this guy as soon as possible.
Besides, there are close to 50 men alone in this camp. 50 frustrated men in this savage world? There is nothing good about a woman staying around for a long time.
I immediately left the camp with Roin and Natalia. It seemed that Roin was acting quite hastily.
“Does something look very urgent?”
“No, because the camp atmosphere doesn’t look very good. Did you see the eyes of the soldiers? Uh…”
“Oh~ what is it? Are you worried?”
The old man showed his white teeth and grinned.
Do you like it I can’t get a sense of what kind of personality Roin is.
I need to organize the information I know about Roin.
How was it when you went hunting for goblins in the past?
A native of the countryside who doesn’t even know what a necromancer is, to the extent that she calls her a keut, she has a secret trick that turns her body into liquid.
And are you impressed by the fact that you care about yourself? No, this is usually the case with anyone who knows grace.
Shall we start a conversation about our hometown?
“Where is Roin’s hometown?”
“It’s deep in the woods, far away from here. It’s a secret about my hometown, so I’m going to tell you in detail.”
Was rejected right away. Ummm, what else is there to ask for? Turning the body into a liquid was also a secret, so it’s a little hard to ask.
Is there a topic that can draw consensus about the mercenary work?
“This looks like a lumberyard.”
I raised my head at Roin’s words. I saw an empty plain with only the stumps of trees remaining. In one corner, cut trees are laid neatly.
It is a site of great natural destruction.
“I see footprints here.”
“Is this a bear footprint? It’s huge.”
Where Roin pointed, I saw huge footprints the size of my upper body.
With feet this big, the body might be the same size as the spider queen we saw last time.
“Isn’t this stronger than the Spider Queen?”
“The physical abilities may be similar, but since the bear does not use magic, it should be easier than the Spider Queen. In fact, the ranks are 2nd for the spider queen and 3rd for the bear.”
“Okay?”
The reason why the spider queen was a dick was because of her halfway intellect. That made it easy to cheat.
But bears don’t have intelligence. So you can’t negotiate or cheat with a bear.
One hit will separate the upper and lower body. Crazy. Scary scary
“But aren’t there at least five? Are there five of them this size?”
“No, looking at the footprints, there is only one big one. The rest of them seem immature, but they’re small compared to that. Look here.”
Roin pointed to the floor with his finger. There were several bear footprints, but each one was about the size of my thigh. Although relatively small compared to the first one, this footprint is not entirely small.
Since it is a world with monsters, do beasts even bulk up to compete there?
“Still, it is big. Can I follow this?”
“Huh. Just follow me.”
The old man examined the footprints and began to walk confidently into the overgrown forest.
“Roin, why did you become a mercenary?”
“Why did you become a mercenary? What, is there anything wrong? The only thing I knew how to do was sharpen my knife, but since I left my hometown and came to the city, this was the only thing I had to do to make a living. Aren’t most of them like that? Hanseong, do you have a different reason?”
I have to make an ID. It’s kind of like answering that. The reason he works as a mercenary is to regain powers and memories. Natalya thinks so.
So, at times like this, it’s good to talk broadly, even if you feel like you’re a little reserved.
“I have something to look for. That’s why I’m working as a mercenary.”
“What are you looking for? What are you missing?”
I’m looking for memories I’ve never lost. What is it that hurts so much?
“Huh. I lost something important and am looking for it. Natalya is helping with that.”
“What? What? What are you looking for?”
Roin showed curiosity.
It might be okay to take advantage of Natalya’s misunderstanding of my true identity, my incarnation, if I want to eat old people and make them my woman.
But she said before that she didn’t want to gossip about her true identity with Natalya.
I glanced at Natalya, her eyes met, and Natalya smiled at her.
“I will support whatever Hansung does. Do whatever you want.”
“⋯⋯. Huh.”
It’s touching. I’ll have to praise you at the tent tonight for being so devoted.
“I am looking for lost memories.”
“Memory?”
“I don’t know, but Natalya says I’m a death reaper.”
“Huh?”
The old man who was walking in front of her stopped and looked at her with a tilt of his head.
“The Reaper of Death? You mean the god of necromancers?”
“I think so.”
“But you lost your memory?”
“Memories, abilities, everything. Except for the things he has, he is a normal human being.”
Because I am human The only things he’s good at are cheating and cheating.
“Well, in conclusion, you’re just a normal human right now?”
“Yes.”
Roin scratched the back of his head and started walking again.
I didn’t want a particularly unusual reaction, but I feel like Roin’s reaction right now doesn’t matter too much. Is this operation also a failure?
I walked for a while, thinking about how to seduce Roin.
The old man who was leading the way stopped.
“Oh, this is…”
-Shoot it.
A mighty river flows. And the footprints we were chasing disappeared in the river.
Feeling dejected, I looked up at the sky and saw the sun standing tallest above my head. Is it lunchtime?
“Time is… It looks like it’s lunch soon, so why don’t you think about it while eating?”
“I think that would be good.”
Roin nodded at my suggestion.
“Um… Rather, let’s pitch a tent and camp here.”
“Here? It’s still lunchtime, so wouldn’t it be nice to go around looking for more after eating?”
“I don’t know if I went up or down. Unluckily going in the opposite direction will only take more time. Rather, let’s lure them out here.”
The old man said so and approached the riverside. He stands on the side and looks at the river and sees that the water is not very deep. It’s very wide, but it looks like it only comes to about the thigh if you look deep.
“Lure, in what way?”
“They probably come to this river to drink, right?”
“Huh.”
“So we’re spraying a smell they like here. There seem to be a lot of fish in the river, so if you catch a fish and scatter its intestines and blood around, the man-eating bears will attract you.”
“Oh, that way.”
Bear fishing with fish. It’s precious.
