The World Is Overflowing with Monster, I’m Taking a Liking to This Life Chapter 47

I stare quietly at the orc while remaining hidden.

The orc was checking its surroundings, section by section.

Was it searching for prey?

No, its movents were too unnatural for that.

It looked like it was wary of sothing.

Its nose twitched now and again.

Sniff! Oink!

And then, its gaze moved towards .

Could I have beencaught?

FFFGHAAAAOOO!!

The orc brandished its weapon and started moving towards .

There was no hesitation in its movents.

There was no doubt about it. This guy knew that we were here!

Now that I think of it, dont pigs have a superior sense of sll compared to dogs?

Maybe that also applies to orcs as well.

Damn! It wasnt just shadow wolves, but Conceal didnt work against orcs either! This is the worst.

I cursed in my heart, but I had made my decision.

Thankfully, Scout told that there were no other monsters nearby.

Even the Danger Detection alarm was not that bad.

Orcs should probably be equal to shadow wolves, or maybe a little stronger.

And it was only one orc as well.

I had a chance of winning if I kept my cool and fought.

FFGHAOOO!

The orc started to run faster as soon as it saw .

The distance was shrinking by the second, he was now within reach of my skill.

Now!

Momo!

Bark!

Momos Shadow shot out and stretched towards the orc. It would try to capture it if it could.

FFGWAAHOO!!

But the orc used the knife in its hand to forcefully fight it off.

Impressive. But at least it was keeping him busy.

Now I can finish him!

I unleashed so heavy machinery over its head.

!?

The orc stood in shock at the sudden appearance of the object.

He makes a desperate attempt to run, but its too late.

Momos shadow gets in the way and blocks his path.

The orc is resisting with all of its strength, but there is no escape now.

This was the end for it.

Judging by what I witnessed of the fight with the defense force and the people at the shopping center, normal orcs are not that resilient. Unlike him.

I should be able to crush this one.

I was confident in our victory.

Huh?

However, at the mont, Danger Detection started going off.

The orc had thrown his knife at .

He was clearly aiming it towards .

The blade shoots forward at an incredible speed.

Damndamn!

I knew that I wouldnt be able to dodge it in ti, so I tried to create a wall from the Item Box instead.

(shaking)!!

But Aka moved before I could.

Aka had been disguised as my clothes.

His body had now swollen up! It caught the knife that was flying towards .

The knife lost all montum, and it stopped when it was enveloped by Akas body. And then Aka let it drop to the floor.

The orc looked at this with shock.

And then the huge mass above him crushed him.

The voice announced the death of the orc.

Ah, that was a close one I barely made it out alive.

My heart was beating loudly, an uncomfortable sweat was dripping from my back.

Thank you, Aka. You saved

I said as I petted it. Aka shook with visible pleasure.

Ahhh

I had let my guard down.

And the orc had seen it and moved.

I was reminded that these were real monsters that I fought against, and they had their own will.

They were just as desperate as I was.

They didnt want to die, and they would fight back until the last second.

I retrieved the heavy machinery and picked up the fallen magic stone and the knife.

When I put them in the Item Box, they were displayed as Orc Magic Stone(small) and Orc Knife.

Sorry, Momo. But can I give this one to Aka?

Bark.

Momo nodded, and so I gave the stone to Aka.

It wasnt much for a reward, but I still wanted to give it to Aka.

Akas body shivered with joy as it took the stone into its body.

Now, shall we keep moving?

Just as I was about to stand up again, Scout started to react to sothing again.

It was the sa direction that the orc had co from.

But this ti, there were many.

Could it be that orcs pack?

I used Telescope and looked in the direction that Scout indicated.

And what I saw, was a pack of shadow wolves.

There were so many of them. More than ten.

The shadow wolves were sniffing at the ground as they ca towards .

Had the orc been running away from the wolves?

That would at least explain why it was moving so strangely.

Was it a fight between monsters then?

No, Ill think about it later.

I needed to get out of here as soon as possible.

I had no intention of fighting that many shadow wolves here.

DamnI guess I have to return the sa way that I ca

It took so much ti to get here, but now I had to go back.

We all felt quite solemn, as we turned around and walked in the direction that we had co.

At the sa ti, on the roof of the apartnt.

Natsu Ichinose was staring at her Mail screen.

He wasnt replying.

What on earth was happening here?

Was he fighting monsters now?

Or did he simply forget to answer her?

Maybe, did I send too many ssages?

It might have been overkill to send 45 ssages to soone she didnt know.

While it was a bit late, she finally realized this.

I hope he doesnt find annoying to deal with

It would not feel good to lose this potential party mber and that adorable doggy.

She wanted to be friends with them if possible. And she wanted to pet the doggy.

It would probably be best to slow down with the ssages for now.

I guess I will just wait for a reply

She would only check her Inbox once every few minutes.

Until then, she would focus on leveling up.

The owner, this Kudou guy seems nice. And I do want to join them

In her mind, she hadnt had the best opinion of the owner. But her opinion had improved slightly after ssaging him a few tis.

Loners tended to beco fond of people who gave them attention.

But she didnt even rember what he looked like. She rembered Momo very well.

Ah, there

She found a monster through the scope of her rifle.

It was a goblin.

There was only one. This was perfect.

She aid carefully and then pulled the trigger.

The bullet went right between its eyes as she had intended, and it fell dead.

Mmm, good.

After that, she continued to kill goblins and lesser wolves to gain experience points.

This gun is so powerful

She stroked her beloved friend with much affection.

It has more than enough strength to make up for my weak stats.

Her status was lower than average.

Most of them were in the single digits, the only thing that was in the doubles was her MP.

The reason had everything to do with the job that she chose.

Ahhhhh, why did I choose Shut-in

She had only chosen it out of curiosity.

But the mont that she selected this job, her stats dropped to a trendous degree.

She wasnt sure if it was because of this job, but now, her stats would barely change even when her level went up.

But on the other hand, I wouldnt have gotten this gun or my other job skills if I hadnt chosen this job

Shut-in caused your stats to be dramatically lowered.

But it gave you two special skills in return.

Ill do another one to cheer up.

She chose a certain skill from the skill table.

It was one of the skills that she acquired when she chose Shut-in.

When she selected it, a box materialized one ter away from her.

It was a clear case that was full of balls.

They were capsule toys. The ones that were inside of gacha machines.

The voice sounds in her head.

She selects yes.

The Gacha skill allowed you to use 1 point of SP in order to turn the gacha 3 tis and win various prizes.

The prizes could be anything from food to daily supplies, and sotis even new jobs or skills.

She had even acquired the Mail skill through this gacha.

Hmm, what will I get this ti

She turned the lever and a white capsule ca out.

Looks bad

White capsules usually didnt contain any rare items.

When she opened it, it transford into cup ran.

There was a red type and a green type. Three of each were stuffed into a bag.

She was happy to have food, but it wasnt what she wanted right now.

She tried again.

This ti it was a blue capsule.

Oh, this might be good.

She opened the capsule, and the voice sounded in her head.

She did a ntal fist pump.

You could sotis get SP and JP like this with Gacha.

Now that she had gotten 1 point, it ant that she was getting stuff for free.

Last one

She felt the mounting excitent as she turned the lever.

A black capsule rolled out.

Her smile widened.

Black capsules were the most likely to contain rare items.

She eagerly opened the capsule, and then the voice played in her head.

Yes!

She expressed her happiness with her whole body.

She had finally got the skill that she wanted.

When she checked her status, she could see that her strength and endurance had increased.

Now it will be easier to move around

This ti the gacha had been a great success.

She hadnt gotten any status increase skills the last ti.

What she did get, was pencils, nail clippers, vitamins, and other things she didnt care about.

Thanks to that, she had had a very hard ti up until now.

But now that she had this skill, things should be easier.

She was in a good mood as she continued her level grind.

And then sothing strange appeared in her scope.

Whats this?

It was a group of orcs.

There were more than ten of them. So many.

Not only that, but there was one among them who was clearly different.

Its skin was a bronze color, and it was bigger than the others.

I dont think I can take that one

She could probably manage to hunt a single orc, but a whole group was too much.

And then there was this bronze orc. It would be much stronger.

She was no match for it.

But where are they headed?

It didnt seem like they were wandering aimlessly around.

It looked like they had a destination in mind.

The building over there

She opened her map and checked the surrounding buildings.

And then her eyes landed on it.

The ho center?
