I dodge the approaching spear without any effort. With a step, I close in on the orc. And with a thrust from the enchanted Iron Second, the orc’s stomach was pierced.
“GURUuAAAA!” scread the orc.
With Iron Second still stuck, pierced into the orc’s body, I swung it up.
As that great steel sword rose, blood and guts scattered about in the air, and a literal rain of blood descended.
The falling rain of blood coupled with my resounding laughter, painted a dreadful, grueso scene.
---Why!? Why am I so excited!?
The cowering visage of the orcs filled with jubilance. And my face twisted into a wicked smile of sadism.
---KUHAHAHAHA! Die! Die! Dieeee!
I chased after the orc. It showed its back. I swung my sword down, and its screams resounded. With its backs gouged out, its fell to the ground. And rcilessly, I crushed its head under the weight of my foot.
Turning my head, I went off for the last orc.
When I got close enough, I cut off its leg. Then I decapitated its shoulder, sending that piece flying with a fountain of blood in its trail.
As I crushed its head with my grip, a raging roar bellowed out from the pits of my guts.
Led by the voice within , I had slaughtered a massacre, leaving the land dyed in red blood.
----No! What am I doing!?

With my senses back, I looked around .
The surrounding area was a ss. No matter what you say, that exhibition was too unsightly.
To think that this is what happens when I get a little bit of power…
“How disgraceful,” I thought as I clicked my tongue.
Using my heightened hearing, I searched for a waterside.
Leaving the corpses here is fine, right? As for the at of the orc, I’ll just get what I need.
Besides, there’s sothing I want to see.
Even sothing small would have been fine as long as I’m able to fit in, so when I saw a waterfall, I imdiately entered it. Inside the water lake, I cooled my seething head, and I washed off the blood from my body.
When the stench of the orc’s flesh mostly left my body, I went back to the place where I had previously slaughtered the orcs.
Looking at it now, I can’t help but sigh. I’m well aware that the one responsible for this is , but this is really just too much. Still though, since I’ve already done it, I should at least make the most out of it.
So with that, I gathered the corpses to fish for scavengers while I hid sowhere nearby. Then a few hours passed, and I began to worry as to whether it was a waste of ti hiding behind the thickets, fishing for scavengers, or not. But fortunately, at that mont, it ca.
Its back was hunched, its face was that of a beast, and in its hand was a beast’s fang. It walked like a man, and behind it swayed a tail. Its stature was slightly smaller than that of a goblin. And its fur was colored brown.
I wondered to myself whether I’ve seen it before from sowhere… but when I looked at my own skin, I shook my head, and concluded that it must’ve just been my imagination.
There are five of them.
These things are called Kobolds, and they are supposedly weaker than goblins. They do possess so intelligence however.
Dashing out form the thickets, I caught one of the kobolds. When the other kobolds saw that, they imdiately dispersed.
“Can you talk?” I asked.
With the scruff of its neck caught under the grip of my hands, I even went as far to bring it right before my face, but it just bared its fangs against .
Maybe it’s not smart after all.
I cut off a portion of the orc corpse’s flesh and inserted it into the kobold’s mouth. As useless as it was it just chewed on the flesh.
Thinking I had just wasted my ti, I tossed the Kobold to the ground, and went off to search again.
After walking for a bit, I looked behind . There I saw that the Kobold was still following .
“Uu~u” begged the kobold as it made a face that seemingly looked like it really wanted sothing.
Despite supposedly being a dog that had just snarled at monts ago, drool dribbled out of the corners of its mouth as if saying, “I’m hungry.” It looked back on the corpse, and then it looked back up at again. That questioning gaze seed to be half-filled with the anticipation of being fed.
“Uu~u” begged the kobold again.
For the record, the one who begged a while ago was the kobold and not , ok? You know… just in case.
I could have just chased it away, but being troubled, I threw it a slice of orc at instead.
Like a trained dog, the kobold ran after the slice of orc at, and as soon as it got it, it went back to my side.
And? What are you planning to do by coming back to ?
It looked like trouble, so I tried to shoo it away with my hand.
Sohow, it apparently misunderstood the sign, and instead it nodded at , then it stuffed its cheeks full with the at I’d just thrown it. It’d be troubleso if it continued to follow around like this, so I went ahead and continued my search.
But in order to lure out the kobolds, I continued to wait sowhere near the orcs’ corpses until the clock struck nightti.
Thinking that it’s almost ti to head back ho. I began to make way for the village. But then I heard footstep aside from mine echoing throughout the forest.
When I turned to look behind , I saw the kobold looking up to . Seeing turn my head, it beca curious, and it also turned its head to look behind it.
No, it’s you, it’s you.
“Why are you following ?” I asked.
The kobold tilted its head in response.
Why are you making a strange face?
“Strong,” replied the kobold as it pointed its finger at .
“Bring ,” it continued, this ti pointing to itself.
With my mind already exhausted, I didn’t feel like dealing with it anymore, and I just quietly continued to walk to the village like that.
The goblins and people of the village sent curious gazes as they watched the kobold follow with its unsteady steps. Fortunately, they didn’t ask anything.
“Oh, you’ve brought back sothing interesting with you,” comnted Reshia when she saw the Kobold.
No one but Reshia anyway. Although for so reason her gaze looked unsatisfied as she looked at the Kobold swaying its tail as it sat there under my feet.
“Whatever,” I nonchalantly reply.
It’s a pain to explain.
“I want a pet too,” said Reshia.
Exactly what does Reshia think of this displeasing face of mine?
“Where do you place the kobolds amongst your people,” I asked.
At that, the usual discussion began.
Although Reshia considers and other monsters to be in one group, she differentiates between us and the monsters who captured her and the other humans. That is to say that she recognizes us. With that as the topic of conversation, we passed the ti talking for nearly an hour.
During that ti, the kobold stretched itself on my feet as it made itself at ho.
Seeing that, I quietly thought to myself, “bastard, you actually plan on staying!?”

Author’s note:
It seems that there’s a legend that says that kobolds and goblins are the sa thing. I’m purposely writing them as two different monsters however.
I suppose it could be considered as a therapeutic sort of monster.
If you could see it in real life, you might just get chard.
