===A Certain Undead With Communication Disorder===
WOOOOOOOOOOOO!
GUAAAH?!
BAWBAW!
GAH!
The villagers fought against the kobold's pack.
But the majority of the villagers were amateurs when it ca to combat. They were barely hanging in there.
Moreover, more kobolds kept pouring into the village from the crumbled wall.
At this rate, it was only a matter of ti before the village was occupied by the kobold.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
And then, the one who howled as if to raise the morale of its peers was a certain kobold whose height was at least twice that of the other kobolds.
That guy was the alpha of the kobold specieswho led its peers to attack the villagethe elder kobold.
I headed straight toward the elder kobold and landed a kick on its stomach.
BAAAN!
~?!
My kick tore through its hard muscle, sending its organs flying around.
It didn't end here. The rest of its body was sent flying, crashing into the other kobolds behind, which were also sent flying along with the elder kobold. Their bodies vanished into the forest outside the village after they were sent flying out from exactly the hole where they ca from.
Crap, I forgot to hold back.
When I looked around, it wasn't just the villagers, even the kobolds had stopped moving. All of them were looking at with dumbfounded faces.
W-WOOOOOOOON?!
After a mont of silence, all the kobolds wailed in fear and left in a hurry at full speed.
It seed they lost their fighting spirit when they saw kill their leader in one strike.
Maybe because all of them were trying to leave the village in a hurry from the sa hole, they were jumbled together in the sa place.
D-Did we just survive?
Most likely.
Just what in the world is that white-haired guy?
Naturally, everyone was starting to surround .
P-Please, stop looking at like that It made so nervous.
Maybe because I kicked the elder kobold to death in just one kick, the villagers looked at with complicated faces, a mixture of surprise and fear.
And I was a complete stranger to them.
Ray's father then rushed out from amongst those villagers.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SAVING THIS VILLAGE! MOREOVER I REALLY CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR SAVING MY SON!
Ah, uh
Maybe because Rays father's remark had dispersed the suspicion about , the other villagers ca to thank one after another.
You're so powerful, huh, lad! To think that the day when I saw an elder kobold die in one kick would co in this way!
With this, those guys won't dare to co to this village again
Could it be that you're actually a famous adventurer?
I ended up having no idea how to respond to their friendly questions.
But maybe I should feel grateful for their friendly acceptance.
Ray's father then told .
Ahahaha, I guess we should stop barraging him with praise, guys. Our benefactor seems to be a shy person.
Y-You realized that?!
I unintentionally shook my head.
After that, I received a warm welco from the villagers.
Nevertheless, they kept a comfortable distance from ever since they found out that I was a shy person.
Thank you thank you very much
Uncle, teach how to beco as strong as you!
Teach too!
too, too!
Well, the only ones who ca to surround without reservation were the children.
Please, you absolutely must stay in the village tonight.
The one who spoke was this village's chief.
I decided to take this rare offer and stay at the village chiefs house.
Then, please have a al.
And then, the one who entertained was the village head's wife and daughter who used their culinary expertise to please .
This undead body of mine didn't actually need food as a source of energy, but I shouldn't waste their kindness.
Sadly the dishes were tasteless.
Maybe I lost my sense of taste after becoming an undead. [TL : Are you sure it wasn't because of the lack of flavoring?]
How's the taste?
.
I kept eating in silence since I simply had no idea how to answer their question without hurting their pride.
That was why, please just think of as being pleased with your cooking.
That's such a splendid way of eating. There's still a lot of it. Please, eat your fill.
Sorry, but I was a light eater after all.
In the first place, could this undead body of mine digest the food that I ate?
I ended up eating all of the dishes while pondering about that matter.
In the end, my worries were for naught since the food digested just fine.
Although my stomach was bloated after I ate such a large amount of food, it returned to normal in no ti.
Since I never had the urge to p*ee or sh*it, no matter how much ti passed, my digestion system seed to be slightly different from that of a human.
===A Certain Silver-Ranked, Middle-Aged Adventurer===
We should arrive in the village soon.
It's been two weeks since the request was posted, right? That village might've already been destroyed by the kobold
Hey, hey, don't say such ominous things.
My na was Bell.
I had been active as a silver-rank adventurer in my birthplace, Tana Kingdom, and I was turning thirty-five soon.
The Tana Kingdom was a small country, so small to the point that it was questionable to even call it a "kingdom," and the only place with an adventurers guild was its royal capital.
For that reason, we were always shorthanded and late when it ca to completing commissions.
And the place we were heading for right now was one of the frontier villages, a hamlet to be exact.
Geographically speaking, Tana Kingdom was the neighbor of Romana Kingdom, the kingdom that was led by the hero king. Even though it seed closer, one needed to take a long detour around the great forest to arrive in the Romana Kingdom.
Without that great forest, the traffic between Romana Kingdom and Tana Kingdom would flourish, which would lead to the prosperity of this area.
The sun had set.
We sohow managed to arrive during the night.
That scenery ca before us as soon as we thought realized this.
Hee, their protective wall is better than I expected.
Naturally, that's their lifeline, after all.
You're right. Aah, this, it looks like the kobold have yet to destroy the village.
Hey, hey, why are you looking so disappointed?
My comrade's na was Pimp.
Despite having a rather troubleso character, he was an adept mage.
He was twenty-eight years old, younger than . We ford a party a few years ago after we hit it off.
Even though we managed to arrive in the village, the village was safe and sound.
But then, we heard unexpected information from the villagers.
The truth is, we already defeated the elder kobold and drove away its pack.
What did you say? Just what's happening in this place?
A passing traveler saved our village.
From what I heard, it seed that those kobolds did make a hole in the wall around the village.
And then, as soon as they thought that the village was about to be finished a white-haired young man with red eyes suddenly appeared out of nowhere, killing the elder kobold with a single kick, and made the rest of the pack scramble for dear life.
White hair and red eyes? Those are quite rare traits, but is he really an adventurer?
We have no idea. Speaking isn't his forte, apparently.
I see.
It seed that the young man was still staying in this village.
Part 3
Then I asked whether we were allowed to et that young man, but we were told to wait since the villager had to tell the young man first.
After that, we were guided toward a certain vacant room in the villager's house.
We were going to stay in the village today.
By the way, since our commission was unexpectedly completed by soone else, we only received a part of the prepared reward.
The reward we received after coming so far wasn't so satisfying.
But well, it couldn't be helped. Better than nothing, at least.
Uhm, is sothing the matter, Pimp?
And then, I noticed that my partner was acting strange.
I an, by now, he usually complained about this kind of job that wasnt worth its paynt.
Bell-san this might just be my mind playing a trick on , but
What's the matter? Just spit it out.
The white-haired, red-eyed young man that those villagers referred to could it be the one that beca a hot topic recently?
Hot topic?
Pimp seed to be shocked upon hearing my remark.
Bell-san, did you not read the recent newspaper?
No need to read that useless junk.
Newspapers were items filled with letters from one end to another, even on the back, and what they wrote on there was apparently the news about basically anything.
Although there were only a few people who could read in this small kingdom, it was apparently really popular amongst the wealthy people in other kingdoms. And its popularity kept increasing as of late.
Although poor people like couldn't afford to buy them due to its expensive price, the adventurers guild apparently subscribed for the daily newspaper and placed it in the lobby for anyone to read.
Well in reality, only a small number of adventurerseccentrics like Pimpread those newspapers.
Haah this is why muscle-brained adventurers are so ha~h.
Hey, who are you referring to as a muscle-brained adventurer?
I'm sure you heard this news by now. You know, that great disaster-rank undead who appeared from out of nowhere in the Romana Kingdom his most prominent features are his white hair and red eyes.
The mont I heard that, I felt a chill run down my spine.
