Episode 19: I'll Beat Up the Orc

　The forest is dark at night.

　There are no street lamps, and the light of the moon and stars is blocked by the branches and leaves.

　Darkness that makes it impossible to see even a meter ahead.

　This is something that modern people who were born and raised in Japan are gradually forgetting.

"Well, that doesn't concern me."

　Uta walks calmly through the forest.

　You won't bump into tree trunks, and your feet won't get stuck in roots or soil.

　Still, he made his way through the forest without getting lost.

"Judging from the presence... could it be over there?"

　I sensed multiple presences deep in the forest. Feelings of fear, and also the presence of death.

"Eh, eh"

　Looks like we'd better hurry.

　Uta jogged off and headed deeper into the forest.

"Buhohohoho!"

"Nooooooooooooo!"

"Ah, I found it."

　I came out into an open area.

　There are five monsters and three women there.

　It was something plump and huge... if you just looked at its torso it looked like a fat human, but its face was definitely that of a wild boar.

　A giant monster is doing terrible things to the women she has likely kidnapped from the village.

　Uta hadn't really read many erotic books or watch many DVDs, but... he could at least understand that the women who had been stripped of their clothes and pinned down by the giants were suffering terrible things.

"Yeah, it's unpleasant. I guess it's just unbearable to look at."

　To be honest, I don't care about those women.

　But... when he thought about what would happen if the same thing were to happen to the women he knew, like Chika, Miko, or Kazuha, he felt a nausea in the pit of his stomach.

"Yeah, let's kill him."

"Buh?"

"Become dust"

　Uta made a quick decision.

　The giant something lying with the woman's arms around him... touched the Orc's body and activated its ability.

　The giant monster turns to dust in an instant.

"Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

"Brrr! Brrrr!"

"Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about."

　The orc let out a low cry and attacked Uta.

　They grabbed logs and stones that were on the ground and threw them at Uta.

"Wow, that's dangerous."

　Uta avoids the flying object and teleports.

　I get behind another orc and touch its body. It turns to dust.

"Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go."

　After that it's just a repeat.

　One by one, the orcs were reduced to dust, and they were all annihilated in less than a minute.

"Yes, work is over. Are you okay, sisters?"

"Ugh..."

"Hic, hic..."

　All of the women who had been toyed with by the orc were in deep shock and broke down in tears.

　It's not a situation where conversation is possible.

　Uta crossed his arms and groaned, wondering what to do.

"What should I do? Should I just carry her like this? Or should I call the villagers over here?"

　Uta was deep in thought, but immediately afterwards, a huge log was swung down on his head.

"Ugh."

　The thick log crushes Uta's head.

　Just like that, he fell down, crushed by the log.

"Gufufufufu! You did a great job killing my children, didn't you?"

　The one who raised the ear-splitting negotiating voice was a giant monster swinging a log.

　He hid in the forest and waited until Uta let his guard down before launching a surprise attack.

　It was an orc that appeared.

　However, unlike other orcs, he has red skin and speaks like a human.

"You don't look like a hero, do you? Are you an adventurer? Or a friendly villager?"

　The red orc looked down at the crushed Uta and laughed loudly.

"Ah! It was no use asking, was it? This guy's already dead!"

"Who's the corpse? How rude."

"Oww?!"

　Uta shoved the log aside and crawled out from underneath.

"I'm sure I killed him! How is he still alive?"

"You can talk. Are you human?"

"Uggugu... I am Jennifer, the Orc Lord, the vanguard of the Demon King's army!"

　Red Oak...Jennifer reveals his identity surprisingly readily.

　Apparently, this was a demon.

　Other than the color, I can't see any difference between them and other orcs... does that mean that orcs are all demons?

"Demons are monsters who have acquired wisdom and can speak! Demons are our minions!"

"Oh, I see."

　He told me even though I didn't ask.

　This demon called Jennifer might be unexpectedly kind.
