Black-Haired Alien From Another World 367

## Chapter 367 – Troll’s Song

The one who entered was a short, terrified young man.

He gave the impression of a seemingly innocent murderer, perhaps due to the shock of encountering the troll. He constantly looked left and right, shoulders trembling, and kept biting his palm.

He’s completely lost it.

Was the encounter with the troll that traumatic?

He scanned our faces and then lowered his head.

“This is Jake, the survivor and only witness… As you can see, he’s not in good shape, so I don’t know if he’ll be of much help. He used to be a robust young man, but he completely lost it after losing his only family, his younger brother, to the troll. His brother was the sixth victim.”
“Oh, dear.”

Hearing the village chief’s words, I retracted my earlier impression of him as a murderer. After going through something like that, it’s no wonder someone would end up like this.

He was just small and pathetic.

Cloudy, who had been watching him, spoke up.

“Hey, you saw the troll, right? Can you describe what it looked like?”
“W-Well… Th-That is…”
“Go on.”

As Cloudy pressed him, he clutched his head with hands that had become as permeable as if he had been chewing on dried squid, and said in a despairing tone.

“G-Green… A g-giant monster… Long ears and nose, and long arms… Long enough to drag on the ground… With those l-long hands, it snatched my brother Jacob!!!!!! And then!!!!!!!!!!!”

ㅡKRAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suddenly, he convulsed and screamed like a demon of Hameln deceived by the townspeople. I was so scared that I could only hug Cloudy around the waist and hide behind her.

“It ate him!!!!!!!!!!!!! It chewed his head off in one bite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crunching and munching, and I ran away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to save my brother!!!!!!!”

Th-This crazy bastard!

He’s out of his mind!

“Ughhh!!! Honey! Calm Jake down!”
“You do it! I can’t!”
“Anyway, adventurers! I’ll guide you myself, so let’s get out of here for now!”

Leaving Jake, who was still roaring, we fled outside. The scream of a genuine madman… I’m afraid it’ll haunt my dreams.

“Katt, he seems completely insane. That scream was something else, wasn’t it?”
“Yeah… I’m so scared! He’s a madman!”
“Says the darkie?”
“What about it?”

Even outside, the gloomy screams continued endlessly. It felt like a demon was sealed inside the village chief’s house.

Personally, I’m most afraid of crazy people.

They can’t be controlled or reasoned with, and you never know what they’ll do. Usually, those kinds of guys are the best fighters. They don’t know fear and are insensitive to their own losses, so they charge in like madmen.

“Well, please understand. He’s a madman… Now, I’ll guide you from here.”
“Thank you.”

The village chief, wiping cold sweat with his arm, took the lead, offering kind explanations as we walked.

“You can stay in that house over there. There’s a well and a toilet in the back. It’s an empty house, so feel free to use it. And if you didn’t bring any food, you can eat at the village hall in the center of town. It costs 1 copper. It’s quite delicious, so I hope you’ll use it for every meal.”

Listening to these explanations, we moved to the scene of the incident.

Outside the village, surrounded by a wooden fence, were rice paddies, and beyond them, forests and mountains. It seemed the troll was hiding out there.

“This is the scene where Jake’s brother, Jacob, died.”

The place we arrived at was a path leading to the rice paddies.

Traces of blood splatters remained on the grassy field next to it.

“What about the others?”

There were said to be a total of seven victims. If there were that many clues, it wouldn’t take long to track down the troll.

When I asked, the village chief replied.

“There are six more places, but they’re all nearby. We believe the troll has nested in the forest ahead.”

Hearing those words, Winnia surveyed the area. Cloudy was squatting down, examining the blood-dried plants.

Then, as if she had found something, Winnia said to the village chief.

“The troll’s footprints lead over there. Tell the villagers not to use this path.”
“Ah, I understand. But… the rice paddies are on this side, so we can’t help it.”
“Even so, you should be careful until the troll is defeated. The troll might feel threatened and invade the village.”
“We’ll try our best.”
“Then, let’s go to the next place.”

Since we came all the way here, we should check all the attack sites.

Following the village chief’s guidance, we looked around the place where the shattered corpse was found, the place where the child was kidnapped, and the place where the trail of blood continued.

The farmers we encountered along the way even begged us to save them. The village was filled with a gloomy atmosphere.

“This damn troll bastard. It’s really gruesome. Does it think human lives are just a quick meal?”

After searching the area with the village chief for a while, I noticed someone watching us from over there.

ㅡGlance.

“Who’s that guy? Chief. What’s that?”
“Where…”
“Over there, over there.”

A man with a bizarre appearance.

Even from a distance, someone who didn’t seem normal was standing over there, staring at us. Winnia and Cloudy also confirmed his appearance.

A strange man draped in rags.

“Ah, that’s Pasper, the hunchback. A poor fellow born with a disability. He takes on all the difficult tasks in the village. He’s a bit of a fool, so he might be curious about you outsiders. Don’t mind him.”

He takes on all the difficult tasks… In my opinion, it seemed clear that he was being forced to do it, not volunteering.

Well, it’s none of my business. He was said to have been born with a disability, so he had no choice but to do such work to survive in the village.

Winnia, who had been watching him, spoke as if a frog was hit by a stone thrown without intention.

“With that hunched back, he looks like a troll.”
“Don’t use such harsh words…”

As she said, the man’s back was severely hunched. Is that roughly what a troll looks like? Anyway, I turned my head and looked at the scene again.

Still, it’s a bit of an ominous gaze… We’ve already met two strange people. It just seems like the village itself has bad energy.

I want to finish this job as soon as possible and return to the lodging.

“This is the last incident site. I hope you catch the troll soon. The villagers are very worried.”
“Hehehe, don’t worry, Chief. We’ll have good news soon.”
“I’ll trust you. If there’s nothing else to ask, I’ll head back now.”
“Well, go back for now. If I have anything to ask, I’ll come to your house.”

The village chief looked around and walked away quickly. Then, let’s start the full-scale search now.

We’ve identified all seven incident sites.

From what I’ve heard, the troll seems to appear in the late afternoon or at night. Only Jake has seen its actual appearance, but many people have heard screams, cries, and sounds of something running.

“Hmph, the attack sites are all in similar locations. Is it really in that forest?”

Cloudy, who had confirmed the troll’s footprints, said.

“It seems so. Footprints leading to that forest have been found at five sites. It’s not a very smart monster, so we can assume it’s over there.”

Winnia, who had said that far, touched her lips as if thinking for a moment.

“But something’s a little strange.”
“What is?”
“Trolls usually don’t settle near villages and continuously eat people like this. Even though they’re stupid, they have some brains, so they tend to run away immediately after attacking someone.”

That’s true.

Monsters also know to fear humans. Villages are the domain of humans, and their domain is somewhere in those mountains.

Relatively large monsters know this and try to abide by it. Honestly, it’s rare for them to actively attack villages.

“Could it have some kind of purpose?”

Cloudy said.

“Purpose… Maybe it’s just a crazy one. Come to think of it, there are a lot of strange people in this village. Maybe the troll was also affected by that and became strange.”
“Darkie. Are you going to keep talking nonsense?”
“Sorry.”

Anyway, we thoroughly investigated the incident sites in that way. The splattered bloodstains indicated that the incidents were quite gruesome.

Winnia was pretty sure that the troll was in that forest. However, she judged that it would be difficult to explore the forest because it was getting late. She said let’s wrap it up here and go back.

It was the time when the evening sun was setting.

“Then let’s go back to the lodging we were introduced to earlier.”
“Ugh, I don’t know if we can wash up. Darkie, you brought all the clothes, right?”
“What do you take me for? There’s a well, so you two wash up first. I’ll keep watch.”

The village chief said there was a well, so washing up shouldn’t be a problem. The lodging itself is also in a remote location, so no one will come to peep.

“Hehe, if Katt is protecting us, we have nothing to worry about.”
“Trust me.”

Cloudy, who had kissed me on the cheek, took off her clothes with Winnia. They brought all the clothes and towels to change into. The fact that it’s outdoors is a bit of a concern, but since there’s a well, there’s no problem with washing up.

It’s not a lodging, so we can just splash some water on ourselves.

They went outside as they were.

Fortunately, there were no witnesses.

“Hehe, we’ve come outside naked? It’s a little embarrassing.”
“Ah, damn it. They should have put up a wall next to the well. This sucks.”

I covered their naked bodies with my body and escorted them to the well. The two of them, embarrassed, moved as close to me as possible, grumbling with flushed faces.

I was going to bring a lantern, but I gave up because I didn’t want to expose them unnecessarily. Standing in front of the well, the two women scooped up water and poured it on their bodies.

Since it was already dark, I couldn’t see their detailed appearance. They just looked like black silhouettes.

I watched them and slowly stroked my erect member.

“Ah, Unniit…! Don’t touch me! I told you to just pour water. We have to hurry up and go inside, what if someone sees us!”
“But Katt is the only one watching us, right?”
“I don’t know, don’t touch me!”

While watching the silhouettes of the two women in the darkness, I handed them towels. I let them go in first, then I took off my clothes and splashed water on myself.

It was quite cold to pour water while being exposed to the cold wind outside.

A troll, will tonight be quiet? I have to start exploring the forest in earnest from tomorrow morning. It would be good to catch it before more victims appear.

I washed up appropriately and went inside.

I have to wake up early, so let’s do it just 10 times.
