Chapter 36 – Return (3)
*
Nasen and Furuku were being put into a huge boiling pot. It was a terrible torture to boil the lower body in boiling water.
“Ahhh! Live, save me! You did everything you were told!”
“Buhiik! I hate hot water! I don’t want to be a boiled pig!”
It was Varikmeteo who was torturing Nasen and Furuku. A monster with a lion’s head and wings.
Barikmeteo saved Nassen, but it was never for Nassen’s sake.
“Did you do as you were told? Then where is the White Witch?”
“That… That we really don’t know! The marbles are completely gone!”
Nasen thought Lina and others had the White Witch’s Sealing Orb, but if she blew it now, she would be eaten immediately.
“Then you must die.”
As Varikmeteo blows flames under the boiling cauldron, the water bubbling and boiling.
“Huh! Sal, as long as you save me, I’ll somehow find the White Witch’s Sealed Orb… We are the only ones who can find it now.”
Nassen shouted with his mouth clenched. Varikmeteo didn’t even pretend to listen by rubbing his ears with his fingers.
“It was because of that Sealing Orb that I accepted you into the organization. Without it, you are useless.”
“That’s why I’m going to get it back! That’s what you need.”
“What about this offering?”
“…”
“Did you miss the sacrifice? Tsk. They are also useless. I’d rather be my snack.”
“Buhiik! My, if you are a sacrifice, you know where I am! Finally, I received a message from the ghoul who chased them.”
“Where is the sacrifice now?”
“The Cliffs of Nordway Woods…Booheek! Dropped in there with the annoying guy! Buhiik! Too hot! Turn off the lights!”
“Annoying man?”
Nasen immediately recognized who the troublesome man Furuku was talking about was. A man who always ruins their plans at the crucial moment.
It was Kerry.
Of course, Nasen and Furuku didn’t know the name Kerry.
“That… That guy is the problem!”
“That guy?”
“The man who fell with the sacrifice! He’s always interfering with our work! If it wasn’t for him, everything would have gone as planned!”
“Is that man stronger than the blonde-haired woman?”
“That… It’s not like that. He was always the one who ruined our business at the right time.”
“Well. I think you know roughly what type it is. Those guys are more annoying than the strong ones.”
“Buhiik! What Nasen said is true! That guy is annoying!”
Barikmeteo grunts and cries and touches his chin.
“Decided. I will catch the sacrifice and the man. We can’t let a man who interferes with the work of the organization live.”
Nassen was happy. The man is in the way, so he’s experiencing this himself. If it was Barikmeteo, no matter how much he flew and crawled, he wouldn’t be able to handle it.
“Give us one more chance!”
“How will we do it. You’d better get into my belly now than upset me.”
“At this rate, even if I die in anger, I can’t die! What hardships did I go through to get the White Witch’s Sealing Orb!”
“Heh heh. Great. Because you can’t run away anyway. Give me one more chance Find the White Witch’s Sealing Orb.”
Barikmeteo freed Nasen and Furuku. And flew up into the sky Nassen laughed bitterly at the sight.
The annoying man who always interrupted her plans is over. Then it would be much easier to retrieve the White Witch’s Sealing Orb from those women.
Nassen felt her reddened legs hurt, but she was happy inside.

At that time, Kerry was carefully going down to the first floor of the shack in the old tree.
I should be able to sleep well. The scraping on the walls I heard at dinner still bothered me.
At that time, I feel a presence behind me. Kerry said in a low voice.
“Victoria. Because you’re waiting Why did you come out?”
“Because I think about it. Because I’m stronger… Shouldn’t I protect you?”
It’s true, but Kerry alone was enough for an old man. Because the stats weren’t good either.
However, Kerry found it cute how Victoria followed with her worried expression, so she decided to let it go. It doesn’t look like she’ll ever go back anyway.
Kerry and Victoria cautiously come down the first floor.
Her grandfather is nowhere to be seen. Is there a separate sleeping room? The first floor, where the lights were turned off, felt eerie for some reason.
Kerry moved forward, carefully examining her surroundings. After passing through her kitchen, she cautiously stuck her head out toward the aisle where the sound had been heard earlier.
Then something touched me from behind her. When she looked back in surprise, Victoria felt embarrassed.
“Mi, I’m sorry. My ass was sticking out in front of me, so I stopped without realizing it…”
Victoria was touching my butt. This woman really never tries. Look at her because she’s cute.
Then, an eerie laugh is heard. It’s scary.
“Kikikick…Just a little bit…Just a little bit…You just have to be patient.”
It was the voice of her grandfather, who had prepared us dinner. The voice was terrifying, unlike before.
“Who are you talking to?”
“Well. There is no one but us here.”
The door in the hallway was slightly open. A voice is heard from there. There is something over there.
Kerry and Victoria met eyes once and nodded. I’ll have to check that inside.
Like a cat, he lifted his toes and walked cautiously. As I walked deeper into the hallway, my grandfather’s eerie voice became clearer. This is a complete horror movie.
If this wasn’t the only place I could stay, I wanted to jump out and run away right away.
Kerry arrived at the slightly open door. And she peered through the crack in the door.
Inside the door was a slightly shocking scene.
It was the image of her grandfather petting an old ghoul.
“It’s okay…It’s okay…Everything will be okay…Kikki. If you sacrifice guys as young and pretty as me, I’m sure he’ll get offended too… He’ll turn you back into a human… Kikikick…”
The ghoul was captured with his whole body tied up. The mouth was closed to prevent making sounds.
Upon closer inspection, her ghoul looked like a fairly old grandmother, but as her grandfather was petting it, she must have been his wife when she was alive.
“It was my fault for stealing the hideout. No matter how much I was curious about eternal life, I shouldn’t have looked at it… I’m sorry… You… But be patient… I’ll turn you back into a human soon. .. Kiki. I never thought young guys would come here on their own… “
‘Hideout?’
Her grandfather looked like a madman. No one else would caress a ghoul with such affectionate care.
‘There must be no way to bring back a person who has become a complete ghoul.’
Ghouls are those whose corpses move. There was no way for the dead to come back.
“By the way… What have you been looking at since a while ago? Don’t I look delicious now?”
It was then. The grandfather, who had been looking closely into the eyes of her grandmother’s ghoul, shook his head and turned back.
The crazy grandfather’s eyes met Kerry’s at the same time.
“Child! Fuck! It’s a surprise!”
Kerry immediately ran out and kicked her grandfather. Then she pointed her wooden spear at her grandfather.
The grandmother ghoul next to her had a seizure and rushed at Kerry.
It’s not about saving her grandfather. They just react to the fresh meat they see after a long time.
“What… What! Miscellaneous things… How are they here?”
“You should have been good at locking down the door. Grandfather.”
Victoria also looked around her room, and her expression darkened. She deserved it and she did.
“I heard the story well. Grandfather. Who do you want to sacrifice?”
“… Have you heard everything?”
Also, this grandpa was crazy. Even now, he sticks a wooden spear to his neck and is not afraid at all.
“You don’t seem to have any excuses.”
“Are you willing to believe me if I make an excuse?”
“Absolutely not.”
“I knew it.”
It was then. Her grandfather’s eyes start to turn grotesque as they turn red.
[Status – Curse]
Maybe it’s one of these Grandpa’s completely changed appearance was no longer human.
Red eyes and black skin. Sharp fangs. I didn’t know what it was, but it was like a monster.
“It would have been better for me to die in a good night’s sleep. Kiki Kick!”
The grandfather who became a monster was confident. That’s right, if a normal human sees something like this, they’ll freak out and run away.
But Kerry was different. She is an adventurer who has already seen ghouls many times and fought monsters.
When she checked her stats with the eyes of a goddess in the first place, she wasn’t even that strong.
“Fuck! Where are you pretending to be?”
Kerry just kicked her monster with her foot. The monster rolls around noisily in the narrow room.
“What… Such a madman! Are you not afraid! Look at me!”
“Whatever. Narrow rice. At best, it was said to be stronger than a goblin.”
It was. Contrary to her demonic appearance, her abilities were insignificant.
“Don’t look down on me!”
“Kerry. Leave this to me.”
Victoria blocks Kerry’s way. She then plunged her fist into the abdomen of the oncoming monster.
Her fist is seen sunk into the monster’s belly. It will hurt a lot.
The monster grabbed her stomach and brought her to her knees.
“Kuhuhuhuh…”
“Do you understand the situation now? Grandpa? I have a question. May I ask?”
“Kill it… Kihihik… “
His grandfather really seemed to have no regrets in life. Did he live long enough? No. He seemed to have a harder time living than that.
No matter how many times Kerry threatened with a wooden spear, it was useless. Then she suddenly saw her grandmother’s ghoul, still tied up and drooling over her.
Oh This sounds like crap. I can’t help it.
Kerry moved her steps toward her grandmother’s ghoul. Then her response came right away.
“Kihehe! This guy! Don’t go near my wife!”
“When do you say pear?”
As Kerry tapped her grandmother’s ghoul with her wooden spear, her grandfather’s monster began to glow. Victoria crushed her grandfather monster with her foot.
“Treasure! I hid my treasure. I’ll give it all to you, so please don’t touch the owner.”
Treasure? It’s something else I’m going to ask, but I got some good information.
“We’ll talk about the treasure later. That’s not what I’m curious about now. I heard about the hideout earlier… What does that mean?”
Kerry’s words about Ajit kept bothering him.
There aren’t that many people around who turn people into ghouls. It might be a hideout for skeletons and pigs.
In fact, there was a high probability that her regressor Lina knew about Hideout, but there was nothing wrong with her knowing just in case.
“That…Saying that…We die.”
“If you don’t tell me, I’ll just die now.”
“…If I just said that, wouldn’t it hurt the owner?”
“I promise.”
“I don’t know what the inside of the hideout looks like. But… I saw them go into an abandoned mine in the Wizarding City. There is a hideout hidden there. I really only saw that I thought there would be a medicine for eternal life…But that’s not the case..Heheug. They say I’m disgusted… I made it like this… The owner became a ghoul because of me… Ughhh… I didn’t want this…”
“Thanks for the info. Mister. Shall we hear about the treasure you have?”
*
The morning was bright. Kerry gathered firewood and started a fire. On top of her high pile were the corpses of her grandmother and her grandfather.
“Kerry. Don’t be so sad.”
I’m not sad at all
This was unavoidable. He has already become a monster and covets humans, so there’s no way he can keep them alive.
If left alive now, it will continue to eat people. I’ve already seen human bones abandoned behind an old tree.
The make-up is a reward for the treasure.
“Victoria. Shall we check the treasure together?”
“Yes? Okay. Let’s go.”
Her grandfather took her box out of the room she was talking about. It was an old, shabby box, but inside it were things that looked pretty expensive. Things like earrings, necklaces, and rings.
“It looks like things that were stolen from killing other people.”
“If I bring it and sell it, it will be good.”
Kerry packed her old box.
“After I sell this, I’ll give half of it to Victoria as well.”
“…I don’t need it.”
Victoria looked a little depressed for some reason. Maybe it was because she killed her grandfather, whom she thought was good. She hinted at me not to settle down from the start.
“It is not like that. I just felt sorry for those two people who had to live as monsters.”
“…”
Victoria also seemed to feel anger and pity for their ways her. I mean, it’s surprisingly nice.
“Let’s go. I can no longer receive directions… But I have heard the direction to get out of the forest.”
“Yes.”
Kerry and Victoria walked through the woods. Victoria’s mood was not so bright, perhaps because she had a lot of thoughts.
“Are you worried again? Do you think the people in the castle have turned into monsters like them?”
“…”
“Believe me. Lina and Natasha would have handled it well.”
“I’d be glad if that was the case…”
It was while walking through the woods. Then I finally saw the end of the forest. It’s finally home!
“Look over there. Victoria. The forest is over. I can go back now.”
“But… You see something strange together. What is that? A lion… A person?”
A monster with a lion’s head was approaching at the edge of the forest.
“It is you. A sacrifice and a troublesome man.”
A lion-headed monster approached muttering.
