Chapter 56 – Warlock’s Request

Unfortunately, after that, I couldn’t find many scale wolves.
I was only able to find one.

ㅡPoo-wook!

Gibson pulled out the knife firmly lodged in Scale Wolf’s neck. It had just been a successful sheep hunt. Luckily, Gibson’s pincer and I went in very smoothly and were able to suffocate in one blow.

“Since we also collected magical herbs from four pieces of leather, I think we can earn about 25 to 30 copper per person.”

Wiping the blood off the blade, Gibson said.

With a simple calculation, a piece of Scale Wolf’s leather would cost about 20 coppers, so if you sold it with magical powers, it was a decent daily rate. Maybe it’s because I’ve been lucky enough to make a lot of money these days. Originally, I’m a person whose mouth is torn even if I only receive 15 copper per day.

Of course, I won’t sell it because of the commission.

“It’s a decent profit. So I think it’ll be okay to go back soon?”

It’s a little early, but I think it’s okay to hit Shimai here. The knoll’s chilies (not meant sexually) shimmered in his eyes. It’s a bit unfortunate, but since they live well anywhere, there should be another opportunity.

We left, leaving the skinned corpse behind.

ㅡ kong, kong.
ㅡKheung.

“A bunch of gnolls.”

I was going back the way I had hit Shimai, but when I reached the Moss Zone earlier, I encountered a group of Nolls. The number was five.

If that’s the case, you should hold hands once you’ve met.

ㅡurr…

The things called play were monsters that could stand on two legs with dog-like heads, but they traveled in groups and were on a similar line with kobolds and goblins. If we rank the combat power for each object, play is the strongest, followed by goblins and kobolds.

Of course, it’s not even a jab to me. As long as you’re careful about biting their necks, you’re confident that you’ll win even if four of them attack at the same time. Their fierceness is not negligible, but there is an absolute racial difference between them and me. As I always said, I’m the top in the weight class.

“If you interfere, I will kill you.”
“Do something useless… If you leave it alone, it will disappear on its own.”
“If you don’t know, you’re going to go ahead and see.”

As Maurice said, the useless thing was right. That would have been if it hadn’t been for Risha’s request. It was a necessary procedure for me, who was carrying out a double request.

“Hmm, this would be nice.”

I picked up a jjangdol that was rolling around.
Yes. It’s been a long time since I had a chance to try out the magic bolt.

It was a little sore because I didn’t use it these days. I tossed and caught the stone, pretended not to throw it, whistled and faked it, and then hit the pitcher with all my might.

ㅡ Wedges!

The jjangdol split the air. The distance to the guys was a little far, but it was thrown quite well. The unfortunate victim was one of those who stared at us stupidly.

—-Bah!
ㅡKheung!
“Nice!”

He didn’t die because his head was broken with the sound of exploding, and he screamed once and ran away. The sight of all five running away in surprise was truly a family loss.

“No, fuck. Those bastards.”

To think he couldn’t get one kill on low-level monsters like that. It seems that my skills have rusted. Damn this My self-esteem suffered greatly.

“You drove it out well. Let’s go now.”
“Chew.”

Well, it doesn’t matter if you take the Knoll’s cock tomorrow. Possession of such unpleasant and cruel biological dildos would taint the mind. Should I just try to get it on the last day?

If not, what are you drinking?
That’s my motto
I will do it

ㅡKurr…
—-Fluffy.

“Uh.”

One of the gnolls who were running away in the middle of nowhere suddenly collapsed as if they had lost their minds. He was the guy who had just been hit in the head with a stone. Did the concussion come a little late?

I was just going to let it pass, but this bastard won’t work. How dare you fall there?
I jumped out of the group and ran to the gnolls.

ㅡ kong, kwang!
ㅡ kong!

The total number of knolls was five. However, one of them had already collapsed from a concussion, and the other two ran away without looking back at this unexpected situation.

There were only two left. As if they had to protect their fallen comrade, the two came out in front of the fallen one with their fur puffed up and blocked the path, barking menacingly. It salivates while exposing its fangs. It was the utmost hostility and threat towards me.

“Huh… You bastard, are you going to protect her comrades her?”

I was amazed.

In a shitty world where even humans stab each other in the back and rob each other’s pockets, these monsters, who are mere monsters, are trying to burn themselves for the sake of their injured comrades. Come to think of it, the gnolls were highly intelligent. As intelligent as he was, he seemed to understand the concept of camaraderie.

ㅡKyung!
ㅡ kong! Kong!

I was heartbroken at the tearful friendship of the guys. It must be because he is afraid of death that he barks so loudly. Still, the guys didn’t run away.

I had to cut out the cocks of those good guys like this. If it was like this, you should have just ignored it and sent it away instead of throwing stones.

I am not a scoundrel who kills anyone for nothing. Normally, I would have shed tears, clapped and left coolly at the scene that smelled of human life overflowing with affection, but whatever the reason, I had a mission to collect the peppers of the Knolls.

Unfortunately, the only thing left to do is kill them all.
Shouldn’t you be taking care of it?

I’m really sorry.

Those good guys had no fault other than standing in the way of a cruel man to protect a wounded comrade. How can I make them eunuchs because killing them isn’t enough? But work had to be done.

“…I’ll let you go comfortably.”

I swallowed my tears and swung my sword.

—Suddenly.

Gnolls are bipedal monsters. So, compared to other monsters, the interpersonal swordsmanship against people works effectively in its own way. Just as I learned from Karin, I wield my sword with the intent to kill.

Because they don’t have thick skin or armor like scales, when a knife with centrifugal force and acceleration flies into it, it ends with that.

“Bye.”

With a clear trajectory, the head of a gnoll fell. It was a neat blow. The other gnolls did not run away when they saw it, but instead attacked. It was a look that knew exactly what he was doing. He too cut his throat.

The attack speed of the sword is faster than I thought. As fast as it is, the cutting power is also excellent. Dropped the necks of two gnolls and confirmed kills of gnolls who had collapsed with concussions. Around that time, the companions who followed arrived. Maurice said it was useless, and Gibson and Cloudy asked why he killed him.

“If you see a monster, it’s a first step.”

I answered moderately and took out a knife and cut out their peppers. At first, the group passed me unnoticed, then I steal ranthily, but Cloudy glanced at me as if he had been watching all along.

“What the hell… Why are you taking care of that? Your hobby is worse than I thought?”
“It’s a misunderstanding. Someone asked me to bring it.”
“Does that make sense? Ah, that’s right. There was a custom among the nearby tribes of roasting male horses’ genitals… I guess there are also cultural differences between regions?”

It seems that you have made an absurd misunderstanding. What the hell are these crazy bastards roasting horse genitals? Anyway, having obtained three of Gnoll’s peppers, I put the nasty things into the sack and followed them.

It happened on the way back.

Almost at the end of the swamp, I found one more scale wolf. With a lighter heart, I fought him with the mindset of getting the last bonus. It was no big deal. I drove, Gibson wound up. The bastard fled toward Maurice.

However, the Scale Wolf, who was running away, ran into Maurice who raised her ax high. Momentarily swerving and jumping in on her, Maurice couldn’t respond. And while he and Maurice were entangled in grappling, Claudy pierced the Scale Wolf’s neck with a single knife and killed it.

“Are you okay?”
“…”

Said Gibson, lifting the fallen Maurice. With scars on her face and neck, Maurice looked very upset. Well, it didn’t really matter what he did, since he’d be bored with going back to the city anyway. Isn’t it just a matter of seeing it once?

So we succeeded in spreading a total of five scale wolf hides. Each of them would take one, exchange the remaining one for money, and divide it. I was going to say that.

“Let me take care of this.”

Maurice said, scratching her head. He picked up his skin her with a savage hand. His tone was so natural that I thought he was saying something obvious.

What is this sound.

“Oh, you hear that? You can just put it in my sack, thank you.”

I expressed my gratitude, wondering if the concept of ‘take care of’ that this man meant was not ‘take it up’, but that he would take care of it (listen to it) and settle the bill. He also showed a conceptual action at the last minute, as if there was a stabbed part.

“What are you talking about? Didn’t I kill two by myself? If so, it would be right for me to take one more simply by counting. This is mine.”
“What.”

But my hopeful predictions were miserably betrayed.

“You take care of what you kill. This is the rule of adventurers. Don’t try to covet others’ property.”
“Mommy, c’mon. That’s fucking amazing. Look what this bastard is talking about.”

I was shocked as if I had been hit in the head with a hammer by his amazing power of logic his. Radical Sophists would have been astonished to hear Maurice speak.

It is certainly true that he hit the last hit ‘twice’.

“Hey, you motherfucker. Did you kill that by yourself?”

But that’s just a blow to the seasoning of the team members. No, I hit the last hit well, so it’s not an insignificant achievement to that extent, but I have to downgrade it because I talk like a fuck. You fucking bastard.

The fact that he was able to kill five Scale Wolves was due to the bloody efforts of all party members. If I had been alone, I would never have been able to kill him so easily. Isn’t that why we’re having a party?

“Hey, ammeter? What the hell are you talking about?”
“Your mother exploded and was blown to pieces.”
“…I don’t know what you’re talking about. Anyway, I didn’t kill him alone, but it’s true that I killed him.”
“You cut the front and back, so it’s yours since you killed it?”

Judging by his attitude of her, it seemed that this was not the first time or two. Even when I spoke in an intimidating tone, there was no sign of pecking. He must have made a lot of shitty situations and got through it until he reached that age.

“You’re talking badly. But I killed it. There’s no need to argue.”
“How old are you? Are you one or five years old? You look like a 50-year-old, but why do you think so hard?”
“You are rude.”
“Damn it!”

There’s a reason why he’s still in the E rank despite his age.
He was a real bastard.
However, the strong mentality that does not give in to my swear words deserves praise.

Sometimes there are guys like this. Adventurers who have little skills but make a living with their personality. I forgot about it for a while because I had a party with only normal people recently, but in fact, most of the adventurers were nothing but scumbags with broken personalities.

If I start reciting what happened to me when I was in F grade, it won’t stop even if I talk about it for three days and nights. Elise… Copson… Meria… Meeting them weakened my heart.

“Now, Katt-san. Calm down. And Maurice-san, I don’t think that’s the case. All of our party members killed the monster…”

Cloudy glared at Maurice with her arms crossed, and Gibson approached him and restrained her.

“The kid who didn’t do anything the most is talkative. This is why you shouldn’t have parties with kids.”
“…”

Maurice sneered.
According to Maurice, Gibson was the one who killed the fourth Scale Wolf, but wouldn’t it be inconsistent if you said that he didn’t do anything?

“I know you have no complaints. This is my fair share. Let’s go back now.”

Maurice slung her ax over her shoulder and naturally tried to turn her around. Certainly, this method seems to be quite difficult for inexperienced adventurers. For now, when you see Maurice’s size and big axe, you might think you’re lucky and move on.

But I had no intention of accepting that kind of fucking foolishness. Especially when it comes to money issues.

I glared at Maurice, suppressing a simmering urge.

“Are you dissatisfied?”

Said Morris.

“There are so many sick people.”

I drew my knife
