Chapter 416 – #417 Mourning
#417 Mourning
I (the main body), who was heading to the place where Zero was with Raonzena, put Raonzena on the Siren and returned to Monster Hunter Village.
The situation in the village was sorted out by the elf and Alice, who had awakened her psychic powers, but she couldn’t be careless. Monsters could flock to the smell of blood sprinkled in the village.
“It’s not too late.”
Fortunately, monsters raiding the village didn’t happen until I arrived.
As I entered the village, I saw Gina cleaning up the corpse with a bitter face.
“Gina.”
“Huh? Hmm… Bonchenga?”
“Oh body.”
At my voice, Gina, who was staring at me as I entered from outside the village, murmured. As she nodded, her Gina let out a sigh.
“Where the hell have you been?”
“… I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been away.”
“It’s okay. It’s just a comment, so don’t say you’re sorry. And I can’t depend on you for everything forever.”
“…”
Originally, it was the timing to tease Gina by rubbing her breasts or buttocks, asking when she grew up like this, but she didn’t.
Because Gina’s face looking down at her dead villager was not good. She seemed to feel guilty for not being able to protect her. He approached Gina and hugged her.
“It’s not your fault.”
“But… I have psychic powers. I could protect you.”
“Beasts are bad. They prepared a lot for today. There are a lot of dead people, but that’s how many people we saved. Do you want to blame yourself every time people die? You said you couldn’t protect them?”
“…”
It was impossible to protect or satisfy them, even if it meant killing everyone in the first place. Honestly, I think that would be impossible even for God.
“Pay your condolences for the dead. But don’t grieve more than that. Don’t blame yourself. If you’re swept away by sadness, you’ll fall apart. If you fall apart, no one can save you.”
“… Chi. I know?”
It seemed that my consolation had worked. After controlling her emotions, Gina pouted her lips and escaped from my arms.
“You take care of these people! You didn’t do anything!”
“I didn’t do anything. Although I’m an alter ego, I also defended the village diligently.”
“Compared to what I usually do, it’s as if I haven’t done anything? Aren’t you going to listen to me?”
“No, ma’am. I’ll take care of it. Yes.”
She bent over Gina and lifted her body. She was quite heavy.
With Gravity Master, she could have moved more bodies at once, but she didn’t. They were moved out of town one by one.
Outside the village, many corpses lay on piles of wood stacked in a well. It was the body that Gina and others had moved.
If the body was left unattended in the village, an epidemic could have occurred. In addition, they were family and neighbors who had known each other for a long time in a barren environment. I was able to break down mentally after seeing the deaths of such people.
In a situation where you do not know what will happen in the future, the body had to be burned quickly to preserve power.
“Master.”
“Master!”
The Flame Witch and the succubus guarding the place found me walking with Gina and came running. Monsters could come, so two people were guarding the body.
“Everyone is having a lot of trouble.”
“No.”
“That’s right, Master. I’m having a hard time because I’ve suffered a lot. Master, please comfort me later.”
Unlike Flame Witch, who shook his head at my words and showed a dignified appearance, the succubus hugged me from behind and flirted. The voluptuous breasts touching the back made me happy.
“Huh… Do you want to do the same here?”
Gina laughed at the sight and reprimanded him.
“Hing.”
Then the succubus withdrew with a sullen face. Oh, no…! My heart is getting farther…!
But Gina wasn’t wrong. It was certainly not something I would do next to a corpse.
“Yes. By the way, where did Raon Jenna go? Can’t you see where she went?”
“That’s what you mean…”
In response to Gina’s question, she told her what had happened during the defense of her village. Then, the three of them were surprised.
“Then…”
“That guy named Zero…”
“Yes. I haven’t killed him yet, but it’s as good as dead.”
In fact, Zero, no, the beasts were as good as ruined. And if even Zero dies, Nine will be the last survivor of the Beasts.
‘What?’
Thinking so, the value of Nine rose rapidly. It’s a cat that any man would like, and it’s one of a kind. All other feline beasts were killed by Alice.
Is that all? Beauty in terms of beauty, body in terms of body, there was nothing missing. Even compared to my girls, I’m not pushed behind.
Can I kill Nine like that? Is this me?
“…”
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
“Uh, uh huh? The cat Suin is a baby! You have to protect the baby!”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Huh? Oh, no. I thought about something else for a second. But why?”
“What are you going to do now? If you catch that guy called Zero, isn’t your business over here?”
Yes. In the first place, the goal of this expedition was zero, and there was no reason to stay here any longer once Zero was reached.
“Hmm.”
I stared blankly at Gina who spoke. It didn’t seem like he meant to go back to the Dark City quickly.
“What do you want to say?”
“Uh… So…”
Gina, who hesitated and couldn’t answer, lowered her head and whispered in a low voice like an ant crawling on her.
“… Want.”
“Huh? What?”
“… I want to give it to you.”
“What are you talking about? The voice is so low I can’t hear you.”
“Oh, I want to help!”
“Evil!”
Let’s ask again, pass away! She screamed. Besides, what was so embarrassing was that he even kicked me in the shin. No why?!
“Why are you hitting me?!”
“If you say it once, you have to understand it. You have to say it a few times! If it was a company, you would be ashamed right away! Fired!”
“Why are you mad at me when you didn’t say it right!”
“…”
“Sorry.”
Gina glared at her, so she quickly apologized.
I didn’t really do anything wrong, but I still had to apologize. ‘Cause I’m the weakest weakling to my woman! How could I be mad at my woman who was full just by watching?
And I have a style of night and day. On the bed, I am excited! Can do.
“Oh, I don’t know! Anyway, what are you going to do!”
“Help means you want to help the villagers, right?”
“… Huh.”
“Then what can I help you with?”
“Really?”
I nodded willingly.
In fact, even if Gina didn’t tell me, I should have helped. There were more than 40 bodies piled on top of the wood pile.
Even though we responded fairly quickly in the beginning, that much damage occurred. Almost half of the town’s population died.
The number was rather low. In the meantime, it was like holding on thanks to a small number of monster hunters and high wargs.
A village can develop only when there are many people. However, since the number of people has decreased, this village is no different from being blocked from growing.
But it was hard to see it completely ruined.
Because the village hall was used as a base for defense, all patients were safe except for one who was killed by the owl beast. There are about 30 of them.
After all, they had nowhere to go. Of course I will stay here. Then I was able to make up for the lack of numbers to some extent.
The only concern was the lack of supplies.
I’ll be able to hold out for a while with what I’ve packed in my inventory, but it won’t last long. Population is important for development, but resources cannot be ignored either.
‘Should I just stay?’
It would be best if the main body or doppelganger remained, but that was not possible. I have more to protect in Dark City than here.
Then there is only one answer, a man here as an alter ego.
‘As for superpowers… I think a healer would be the answer.’
The alter ego can grant one psychic power up to level 8. In that situation, among the psychic powers I had, the most useful in the land of monsters was, of course, a healer.
No matter how food is solved, medicine cannot be solved. If you don’t have medicine, you can just work out your psychic powers.
‘Furthermore…’
I slowly turned my head and looked at the village. And I looked at the two women walking around busily.
Ice Leverwood, and Aurora Ginger.
There were only five monster hunters in this town, and at the same time, they were the best women. Also, both were hugged by me.
If I left behind an alter ego, I could have sex with both of them without having to avoid my women’s eyes. Both were attractive women.
Hehe…”
“What is this pervert laugh?”
I straightened my face after Gina’s scolding.
*****
“I will.”
“… Yes. Please.”
At Flame Witch’s words, the village chief nodded weakly. The grievous look on his face was telling instead of how mentally difficult he was right now.
Roaring-!
Flame position lit wood foundation. The fire climbed the tree at high speed and engulfed the corpses lying on it.
“Aaaaagh!”
“Hey hey hey!”
As the corpse was set on fire, the villagers shed tears they had been holding back.
“Brother… Black…”
Emotions are contagious. As the villagers shed tears, their heartbreaking feelings were conveyed to Sujeong. I patted Sujeong’s shoulder as she leaned against me. She buried her head in my arms and cried.
‘Huh?’
“…”
Little Henry came into my eyes. Henry didn’t cry. Instead, he clenched his fists tightly and trembled. He clenched his fists so hard that blood was dripping.
Henry, who was with me, was safe, but he couldn’t escape his father’s death. He died defending the villagers.
Still, Henry didn’t cry. He was an unpretentious boy.
It was then.
Thud-! Thud-! Thud-!
“…!”
“This, this…!”
There was a sound of the ground shaking in the distance. The sound got closer. Seeing the smell of blood or the light, the monster was approaching.
The people who were saddened by the monster’s approach were frightened. Fear was on their faces.
“Chief.”
“Yes, yes.”
“I’ll take care of the monsters, so take care of the villagers. Give them plenty of time to mourn.”
“Thank you.”
“It was nothing.”
After talking to the village chief, I (main body) headed in the direction where the sound was approaching. A large six-legged monster was approaching the village.
[[Monster: Nat.D.Wickin] Was found.]
[You will receive 1 [Psychic Level Up Ticket] As a reward.]
Whoops-!
The monster that found me swallowed saliva and increased its speed. I threw myself at that guy. And hit him hard on the head.
Guaq?!
The toad-like head shattered like a watermelon burst.
[[Monster: Nat.D.Wickin] Was killed.]
[Physical abilities slightly increase when fighting monsters.]
[Psychic abilities are slightly enhanced when fighting monsters.]
[[Monster: Nat.D.Wickin] Greatly increases physical ability when fighting the same entity.]
[[Monster: Nat.D.Wickin] Greatly enhances superpowers when fighting the same entity.]
[As a reward for defeating [Monster: Nat.D.Wickin], You will receive one [Psychic Level Up Ticket].]
“… It sucks.”
Looking at the dead monster, he licked his lips.
It seemed like the night was long.
