Chapter 397 – Harpy Lady
Wake up early in the morning and carefully prepare for the departure.
The point is to move stealthily so as not to wake the sleeping girls. I crawled out of bed and went straight to the shower. Kim Katt’s day begins like this.
“Kat… Are you going?”
Of course, Cloudy woke up.
You can’t fool the keen senses of a half-elf.
“Yes. I have to go now.”
“Good job Wow… It’s simple, right?”
“It’s nothing. I’ll be back soon. Good night, Cloudy.”
“Yes.”
I was greeted and went outside.
It’s time for the sun to rise After speeding up a little, the Adventurer’s Guild building appeared. As soon as I went inside, I saw that sincere adventurers who had already gone to work were gathering in sparse numbers and chatting.
“Mr. Falchion? Are you there?”
I called Falchion, the party leader for this quest. When I mentioned the name, the trio at the table turned to me.
“Are you Kat?”
Two men. It is a combination of one woman. Among them, a brown-haired man with a slightly faded impression stood up and said.
“Then is that Mr. Falchion?”
“That’s right. I’m Falchion. Hey, this is a really big warrior. He’s tall. Are you from a nomadic family?”
“As you can see.”
He looked young, but his forearms were those of a seasoned man.
As for the weapon, he was wearing a pole ax that had been modified to be used with one hand by cutting the hilt a little, and as for the armor, he was partially wearing a hard ladder protector on top of the quilted armor.
After all, a D-class adventurer.
Trust comes from the equipment.
“It’s believable. Now, say hello. This is Janice, and this one doesn’t.”
He smiled and introduced the people sitting there. A man with long dark green hair tied back in a ponytail and a woman with short blue hair stood up and said hello.
“Nice to meet you. Class D, Janice.”
“Anna. Please take care of me.”
Both were well-equipped adventurers.
“Yes. It’s Kat. Please take good care of me.”
“Then let’s go. Yesterday I set up a wagon. I’ll go that way.”
After a brief greeting, they went outside following Falchion’s command.
It is indeed a D-class adventurer that everyone is generally polite. They are people with character as much as their sincerity has been proven.
And just looking at them, everyone’s eyes are veterans.
The combat part seemed like nothing to worry about. If the four of us formed formations and fought, even if a pack of wolf cubs attacked at once, it would be catastrophic.
After all, the nightmare of the promotion match was just a bad dream during the E-class days.
“Miss Katt, you’ve heard about the quest, right?”
“Isn’t that the subjugation of the Giant Wolf?”
“You know well. It will take some time to get to the village, so when we arrive at night, we plan to spend the night sleeping and carrying out the subjugation. Is that okay?”
“Excellent choice. Of course you should.”
There are many mountains near Isvant, but there are also many villages. Most of these villages are inhabited by farmers.
“It’s nice that it’s cool. And is there anything we need to buy before we go? We’re already ready.”
“I’ve prepared everything, so it’s okay to just leave.”
Peasants pay taxes while cultivating the lord’s land.
Also, the raids of monsters can be defeated by creating vigilantes, or if it is impossible to solve with vigilantes, collect money and request an adventurer’s guild to subdue them.
Won’t the lord protect you?
Troops don’t move over trifles.
If a group of orcs appeared, the army would mobilize, but at most, wolves would not move.
They said that they had to pay taxes and share defense costs themselves, so living as farmers seemed quite difficult, but they were a tribe that lived better than most adventurers.
It is only natural that people who live in villages who live in the villages live better than the adventurers who are nothing but outcasts and thugs.
So why don’t you ask the adventurer’s guild and do that?
“Then I’ll board the wagon right away. Unfortunately, there’s a bit of distance, so it’s 40 coppers. Everyone can give me 10 coppers.”
We silently handed over 10 copper each to Falchion. Class C quests support transportation costs, but not Class D. After handing over the money and boarding, the carriage departed soon after.
“Well, there’s nothing special about it. When you arrive at the village, you just have to sleep overnight and wake up at dawn to chase down the pack of wolves. If it’s the four of us, we’ll be able to destroy them as soon as we encounter them.”
As soon as the carriage departed, Falchion, who drew attention by clapping once, said so. Like I said, it’s nothing special. It’s just an extension of what you’ve been doing.
“Of course not. Three D-class would be enough.”
“I think so too.”
Janice and Anna answer.
“At most we kill the wolf cubs, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
I also replied that I am not worried.
Of course, there was no one in the party who was worried about this incident. They were all people who had been faithfully defeating monsters and carrying out quests for several years to become D-class adventurers.
“Yes, that’s right. Maybe when the job is done, I think I’ll be able to collect 5 silver per person by adding the leather to the commission. Well, it’s important to keep the leather as low as possible.”
Then, we briefly talked about each other’s personal life and chewed on the food we each brought out.
Everyone showed some interest in Mirkesha, my place of origin, but I passed this in moderation, as usual, with cheap words. I don’t know how to play Gura anyway.
It’s a gourd that has been used well for several years.
Looking at it roughly, it is said that D-class members are mostly seeing each other. You’ll see it often, and it’s only natural that there’s that much trust.
After talking for about an hour, they started falling apart one by one from the middle. I also closed my eyes.
* * *
When I woke up, I had arrived in the village.
I immediately met and greeted the village chief, and after talking with the hunter who first discovered the pack of wolves, I decided to go to the lodge I was guided to and spend the night.
It was an empty barn.
It’s a bit dusty, but it doesn’t smell, and that’s enough.
“I’ll wake up early tomorrow, so get enough sleep.”
I slept all the way, but when I lay down on the floor, I fell asleep again. They didn’t really wash, and there were three men and one woman, but so naturally, everyone took their places, put on their cloaks, and went back to sleep without a word.
Getting enough sleep when you can sleep is the basic quality of an adventurer.
ㅡ smart smart.
The sound of knocking opened my eyes.
ㅡ Kikkiik.
“Are you still sleeping?”
“Uh… Ah, Mr. Hunter.”
The one who entered was the hunter whom we had talked about yesterday. He said he would guide us. Looking at it… I think it’s roughly dawn.
We immediately woke up and went outside.
“I’ll do the tracking. I want the adventurers to follow me and subdue the pack of wolves as soon as they find them.”
I rubbed my sleepy eyes and listened to the hunter’s explanation.
Hehe, I understand. Don’t worry. It’s no big deal to tear wolf fuckers apart if you track them down well.”
“…I can trust you. Please take good care of me.”
In moderation, we washed our faces at the well and ate dry food. So after 30 minutes of miscellaneous preparations, I went outside following the hunter.
All of them are experienced adventurers, so they move very quickly.
The hunter immediately waved at us as he entered the forest. Seeing him take out his machete, he thought it would be okay to be an adventurer.
“Are you going into the woods?”
Anna took out the knife and asked.
“That’s right. They’re hiding somewhere in the forest. They’re quite large, so if they get a chance, they’ll raid the village. Before that, we’ll have to subdue them.”
“I’d like to find it today if possible.”
Taking out a long sword, Zenith looked around and answered. I, too, am walking briskly with my sword drawn.
If only the wolf can be found quickly, it can go back tonight. It would be nice if it could save time.
ㅡSseokkeop, seokkeop.
ㅡ Jerking and bucking.
So we followed the hunter faithfully and entered the depths of the forest. It is a landscape of nothing. Birds are chirping and bugs are chirping.
“Hmm… The more I look at it, the better it seems. What metal is it made of?”
Falchion, who was moving next to me, asked while looking at my sword.
“I think it was probably made of black iron.
“Right.”
“But is that pole ax useful?”
“It’s advantage is that it can be used for multiple purposes. Just use it because it’s a weapon you’re used to.”
Some gossip comes and goes. As the number of adventurers is large, their armament is also diverse. Martuga still couldn’t understand it.
It was noon.
After a decent meal, get moving again.
“Stop.”
It was then that he found a pack of giant wolves.
“There, over there. See? They’re…”
“A bunch of giant wolves.”
We hid behind a bush and watched the wolves.
ㅡAww.
As expected, it was a group of more than a dozen dogs.
As if they were sleeping in turns, some of them were spreading out and others were standing up and looking around. The size of each individual varied greatly, and it seemed that there were some who were injured in the middle.
Could it be the family of wolves who lost in a territorial battle?
I don’t know much about habits.
“Do you think you can subjugate it?”
A low laugh erupted at the hunter’s question.
“We are the people who get paid and kill monsters. They only look like the neighborhood bastards.”
“They are also bastards with pocket money.”
Falchion and Anna said jokingly.
Janice is already aiming her long sword. Fighting spirit is high. If four D-class adventurers gather, most monsters will just be destroyed.
“Should we line up and charge at the same time?”
Everyone nodded when I asked. Everything is already prepared. As if the hunter would avoid it on its own, it quickly fled to the other side.
Falchion raises his arm.
ㅡWheek!
And as soon as it hit hard, four people jumped out at the same time.
The speed was a little different, but I ran right away, matching the speed with the person next to me. It feels like a wall running. It was such a perfect collaboration that a sense of camaraderie and camaraderie sprouted.
ㅡAh?
ㅡAuuuuu!
ㅡAuuuuu!!
The wolves that spotted us convulsively raised their bodies and attacked us. Howling ferociously, they seemed faithful to their instincts as monsters.
“Keeeee!!!!!!!!!!”
I, too, raised my knife while screaming to be torn apart. Then, as if it had been triggered, the other three also aimed their weapons with their own spirits.
“Kuaaaaa!!!”
“Haap!”
“Oohhh!!”
The shouts of humans and wolves intersect.
ㅡAuuuuu!!!
ㅡAuuuuu!!
ㅡAuuuuu!!!!!
They collide with the giant wolves who are charging fiercely with their mouths open. With a light swing of the sword, the head of the wolf rushing to the front split open.
ㅡOh?!
The splattered blood was the beacon of war.
“These bastards!”
“Kuaaaaa!!!”
After slashing a wolf, it immediately changes its posture and kills another wolf. If there is a gap in the middle, a colleague next to you will assist. They were skilled adventurers, and as strong as they were skilled.
The charging wolves were helplessly slashed, cut, and pinned to the ground. In the first place, our opponent is not.
ㅡCome on!
When Anna’s blade sweeps away the wolf, Janice’s long sword pierces the forehead of the one who strikes from the side of her. I used the mounted sword technique and slaughtered the wolf in front.
“Kiyo oh oh oh!!!”
ㅡPeruk!
Falchion’s pole ax also skillfully split the heads of the wolves.
It didn’t take long to annihilate them. It was the result of four veteran adventurers.
The torn and dismembered corpses of giant wolves were lined up everywhere.
“Whoa! That’s easy! Then our comrades! Let’s take off the skin!”
Falchion said it was refreshing.
The wolves did not run away, but all of them attacked at once, so it was not difficult to defeat them. None of them chose to run away. They attacked us as if we were enemies.
Even though it was only a dog.
It was very easy.
Is this the class of D-class adventurers?
Hehe, this was such a simple thing.”
It was so easy to sell, so I laughed out loud. The memories of being in Class E had already flown to the other side for a long time. People who knew how to fight and even took care of their equipment were so strong.
“Geuk, that’s what I mean. Mr. Katt’s skills are really good… Huh?”
“Yes?”
Falchion, who had been laughing along with me, stopped touching the wolf’s corpse with his feet and stared at the sky with his eyes wide open.
“Huh? Uh uh uh!!”
Isn’t that what screaming?
I realized for a moment that something was going wrong and tried to get defensive.
ㅡFood Duck!
It was then.
ㅡFood Duck!
Suddenly, I heard something like the flapping of wings. The sound was so loud that it would be difficult to dismiss it as a simple bird sound.
ㅡWhoops!!
It wasn’t just the sound. Even the wind pressure of something passed over our heads.
…Pass by?
And that wasn’t all.
ㅡShadow.
Several shadows were cast and flew to the other side in an instant. Something big is flying above us…!
No fuck this is it!
“Ha, harpy! It’s harpy!!”
Falchion screamed hysterically.
A harpy?
“Everyone run away! Aaaaa!!”
“Quaaaaa!!!
A scream broke out. Anna screamed and ran, and Falchion also started running away like a three-year-old child.
I was already instinctively running after them.
“Fuck mother!!!”
What the hell is this!
Hapira is a flying monster! That’s why I’m here! A shadow fell from the sky and the sound of wings beating. Paying attention to the attack, I raised my sword and surveyed them.
ㅡFood Duck!
“Uh?”
A person was flying in the sky.
No, never a person.
“Kee-hee-hee!”
It was a beautiful beauty, smiling like a witch wicked. It is also a naked beauty. Her graceful curves of her were enough to catch the attention of many men, and her long legs and moderately swollen breasts revealed her attractive femininity.
“Kyahahaha!!”
But it doesn’t end there.
Their bodies, not even wearing a thread, had ‘feathers’ instead of clothes. Specifically, it had the wings of a large bird attached to its forearms, and above all, those feet.
Those strangely twisted feet looked sharp and strong, like those of a raptor. A beautiful female monster with wings on its arms and hands and feet like those of a bird of prey.
—-That must be the harpy.
Of course, although it is beautiful, it does not fill my eyes.
Even if she’s pretty, she’s not prettier than my wives.
No, but fuck Dryads and Alaunes, what kind of monsters all look like women?
Wings and hands. And with the exception of her feet, she’s just an ordinary, pretty woman.
Anyway, they… No. They were flying in the sky. I was briefly distracted by the unexpected appearance, but I already knew what I had to do.
While paying attention to the attack, get out of the scene with your friends!
It’s dangerous to fight carelessly with monsters you don’t know what they are!
“Quaaaaa!!!”
As I was running, I heard a scream again.
“No fuck! Mr. Janice!”
“Save me!”
On the other side, Zenith is being attacked by harpies!
No raid?
To be precise, it was more of an abduction than an assault!
Two harpies were flapping their wings, holding both of Mr. Janice’s shoulders with their strong raptorial feet. Every time the harpies flapped their wings, Zenith’s body began to rise.
That’s not killing, it’s kidnapping!
“Please help me!!!”
“The impulse that can’t be stopped—-!!!!”
There was nothing more to think about! I’m the one who suffers the loss when the party members fall behind! After bursting into shouts, I ran through the space and cast Heavenly Demon’s War Limbo, leaping like a grasshopper and swinging my sword.
ㅡShhh!
It was the first monster I had ever seen, but they were also made of flesh and blood. If it were made of flesh and blood, it would perish before the blade of this Heavenly Demon!
And it seems it’s a little late to run away.
Then I’ll have to fight
“Dejaaaaa!!!!!”
Not bewitched by its beautiful appearance, it immediately cuts off its legs!
ㅡDengggung!
“Kyaaaaa!!”
The blade, swung precisely to avoid Zenith’s flesh, cut through the harpy’s foot. The monster let out a tearing scream as blood poured out.
—-These are the ones I can kill!
Then there is no reason to be afraid!
“Thank you!”
Harpy missed Mr. Zenith.
Anyway, the rescue is a success!
“Hurry up!”
“Okay!!”
I ran again.
“Ka, on Mr. Kat!”
“What the fuck!”
That was the moment. As soon as Falchion urgently called my name, he swung his sword into the air, but only one harpy was able to slash, and even that was not fatal.
“Kihehehehe!!”
“These fucking bitches! Don’t go away… Oh my!”
In an instant, I grabbed his shoulder his. Then he felt his feet his come off the ground. It’s trying to catch me and fly!
“Leave this, you bastard!!”
These cubs were so fast that it was too tricky to cope! I immediately drew my knife and mercilessly stabbed the foot of the harpy that was grabbing my shoulder.
“Keeeee!!!”
Then he missed me. It was a quick decision. Just as I was about to fall, another harpy flew in and grabbed my shoulder.
“Huh? Huh? These fuckers!!!!”
His foot his was also stabbed with a knife, and a sharp scream erupted. Just as I was about to escape again, I felt that I was screwed.
Even at that moment, a group of harpies were flying towards me!
“Joe, fuck you! Fuck you Falchion! Janice! Anna! Where are you bastards!!!”
“Kihehehehehe!!”
The laughter of the harpies echoed.
I tried to escape by piercing their feet with a knife, but other harpies immediately flew in and grabbed my shoulders and flapped their wings.
ㅡ Booung.
With just one missed timing, my body was already higher than the tree. Altitude went up gradually. The moment I recognized that, I threw the knife away, hurriedly sheathed the knife, and grabbed the harpies by the feet.
“I’m going to go to the middle of the day, I’m going to have a good time!!!!!”
Fuck you if you miss this!!!!
