Chapter 9 – Cockatrice Hunt

The road to the west gate where the carriage was located was hell itself. Winia started craving me from the beginning of the journey. This crazy sadist bitch seemed to find the joy of her life in bullying those weaker than her. It looked like she would turn around.

“Bastard, how have you been?”
“How are you?”

I’ve been doing well without you

“Were you very lonely while I was gone?”
“It was lonely.”

Ever since I came to this world, I’ve always been lonely.

“Aren’t you lonely?”
“It was lonely.”

I replied, praying that this situation would pass like water. No matter how crazy this bitch was, she wouldn’t do anything to me in broad daylight in a place where there were so many people.

Winia asked insistently.

“Aren’t you glad to see me?”
“It’s so damn nice.”
“Then why don’t you look so happy?”
“…”

Silence.
The word [Leader in charge] Flashed through my mind.

“Bastard, you can really dig.”
“Oh no. Why suddenly? What did I do wrong?”

Winia narrowed her eyes and pulled me by the collar. She can’t resist and her body is dragged away in an instant. My voice, which was so fucking scared, naturally became small as if it had crawled into a rat hole.

“It just seems like you’re not sincere in your answer.”
“Because I’m a barbarian, I can’t speak well…”
“We bastards really need to find out.”

ㅡFajik! Lightning magic swept through my body with a fine flow of mana. By simply manipulating mana with just one finger, a small electric shock magic was applied to my body aaaaagh

“Gyuwaaaaagh!”

I screamed unsightly and struggled in pain before collapsing…! Tears began to flow in torrents from the terrible pain! The electric shock just now was a terrible magic used only by true madmen who could inflict only simple pain without damaging the human body!

ㅡOne more time!

“Ahhhhh!”

Whenever you are bored with this baby or nickname! Because I’m a barbarian, why are you fucking again!

“William! Go first! I’ll talk to a friend for a while!”
“…I hope it’s not too late.”

William and Copson left behind me, who had collapsed, and went off together chicly. Damn… Damn it! Why! Why am I in such pain! Who the hell said that being slapped by a beautiful girl is an industry reward?! It just sucks!

I’ll come back in pain! Please save me!

“Bastard. You’re not afraid of me now that you’re E-ranked?”

Winia came up to me who was rolling over like her dog and squatted down. She poked my chewed cheek with her finger.

On the outside he was smiling, but on the inside he must have been madly furious. I don’t know why she was angry with her… Why the fuck was she angry again… She answered honestly when asked…

“Keuheuk… Kuk!”

Fuck lightning magic Tears come out because it hurts so much!

“Oh my, are you crying? Are you crying now? Are we bastards crying?”
“Don’t cry…”
“Bastard… You’re not a kid and you shouldn’t cry over something like that. Got it?”

As I was wiping away my tears, Winia’s face suddenly brightened as if she felt better. A kind of madness has been transmitted. He was literally a psychopath. It’s that I truly enjoy crying over the pain.

“Sleep, bastard. Get up. I gotta go.”

Winia smiled broadly and pulled me by the arm as she lifted me up. My strength is also a trade, so my body, which is close to 180cm, was raised as it was. She grabbed my face and said, as if she didn’t even care that people around her stare.

“Come on, come on! Even a bastard laugh! If you don’t laugh, I’ll kill you!”

ㅡAwkwardly.
If it was this bitch, even if it really killed me, there would still be some left.
In an instant, my face hardened as I felt the fear of death.

“Kyahahaha! It’s a joke, a joke! Let’s go quickly, the kids will be waiting!”

Winia, excited by herself, grabbed my hand and pulled it. If there was a leash when I saw it, she would have put it on me at all. Just imagining it gave me goosebumps.

I may look pathetic. But that’s a story I’m talking about without knowing the circumstances surrounding me. First of all, Winia is strong enough to slay me in three seconds, and unlike me, who has no belly, she has a strong back. She was a mage, and I was a commonplace E-class adventurer.

Who am I to report that I have been assaulted? In other words, it is like a difference in status. Whatever it is, I have no choice but to put up with it or cater to Winia.

Even if I’m lucky enough to beat Winia up and make her a mop mate for her dog, it doesn’t benefit me at all. Because wizards are friendly with each other, they will never forgive me for that.

Perhaps in less than two days I’ll be found with an unidentified body in an underground canal.

But I’ll get revenge someday, bitch.
I decided to chew on the hatred and swallow it.

That’s how Winia took her by the hand and led her to the western gate. Her hands were sweating. A wagon was already waiting. Copson shook his hand.

“This way, barbarian!”

Winia climbed into her carriage right away, and Copson whispered to me.

“Hey, Barbarian Shack. Did you enjoy the date?”
“Wow, it was so damn fun to the point of being thrilled.”
“But what the heck is it? I don’t know why you got hit all of a sudden? Could it be that he was having an affair?”
“Ha, I don’t know, damn…”

Copson, who convinced himself that he was his ex-girlfriend, also climbed into the carriage. But how long will it take to get there? I don’t know because I’ve never ridden a wagon this way. I called the wagon driver with all my might. He was stroking his horse and then answered with high tension.

“Here, wagon man! How long will it take you to your destination!”
“It will arrive in about half a day!”

Well, half a day doesn’t take that long. I cleared my mind and got on the carriage. In addition to William, Winia, and Copson, luggage was also loaded into the carriage. Seeing that the wagon and luggage were prepared in advance, it could be said that it was a D+ level quest. The guild made preparations quickly.

“Sit here bastard!”

Said Winia as she tapped the seat next to her. I wanted to talk to Copson, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time…! I tried to ask what they were doing in the Muddy Vine Pit, but I was frustrated from the start. Let’s give up

I never wanted to sit down, but I did as I was told and sat there.

Anyway, sitting next to Winia, William cleared her throat after looking around her room for a while.

“Hmm, now that we’ve all gathered, let’s do a brief briefing.”

William’s explanation was like a liquidation flow. Indeed, it was the appearance of a C-class adventurer. I’ll be honest, I’ve never seen C-class adventurers fight, but when I saw William’s sharp edge, it was clear that guys like me wouldn’t be able to beat him with a single truck.

E-class is now an adventurer who serves one person. If you are D-class, you are a skilled veteran adventurer. And the C-class adventurer next to him was evaluated at a level where he was recognized as having some real skills.

“They said that a cockatrice appeared in the granary and suffered great damage. However, since it is not a real cockatrice but a subspecies of the cockatrice, it shouldn’t be such a problem. Just the two of me and Winia are enough opponents “What the two of you have to do is to stay with us.’S assistant. I’ll be mostly porters, but since the target is said to be dragging its own pups, I’ll let you take care of that.”
“All right.”
“Sure.”

At around [Cockatrice-subspecies-cub], Even I can hunt. And this bastard Copson wouldn’t say he fought well even on empty words, but at least he was on par with me. As long as you can believe you do just that, there shouldn’t be any problems.

I think the aspect of this battle will flow into an aspect where William single-handedly ties up the cockatrice and Winia puts an extreme deal to finish it off.

Me and Copson would be fine if we only escorted Winia. But Winia Howie must be fucking difficult.

Can’t I just go out and fight? It seriously occurred to me that I might be better off fighting a cockatrice than sticking around with Winia.

“Of course, I can give a direct command flexibly according to the variable, so please follow my instructions at that time.”

After that, as if there were no special plans, William lay down and fell asleep. Being able to sleep anywhere and in any position like that was a very valuable ability. Being able to recover stamina and fatigue at any time is a huge advantage. But I can’t do that now it was such a fucking thorny cushion that I couldn’t even sleep, let alone lie.

Winia had her head resting on her thigh and I was touching her hair her all the way through her. She was playing with her hands while singing her hum without her without a word, and then suddenly she felt like poking her in the eye or putting something like sand in her ear her, and her heart skipped a beat.

Copson, who made eye contact with me, looked away awkwardly.

“Bastard, are you friends with him?”

Winia, who had been touching my hair for a while, pointed to Copson and asked. Copson and I have a close friend relationship. However, if you think about it in Winia’s sense, since I and Winia were friends, Copson and I could be said to be close friends that will never happen again in life.

In fact, in Winia’s eyes, everything might look like friends.

“Uh. My friend.”
“Then are you closer to me or closer to him?”

Winia’s nails started scratching my ears. It was a terrifying sensation.
In terms of closeness, I’m closer with Copson.

“Of course I’m closer to you.”
“Wow, you barbarian shack. Where did you sell your friendship with me? Weren’t we best friends?

Cried Copson, who had been listening silently. You son of a bitch… Did you think so… I said, deeply moved.

“Hey, Copson… I’ve known Winia longer than you…”
“Damn it.”

Seeing Winia not responding, it seems that she is not going to be criticized for nothing. But she was curious. If I had been closer to Copson here, what would have happened?

“Well, if you answered wrong, I was going to rip your ears out.”

Whispered was the answer. It would have been fucked up.

After a time filled with moderate pain, they arrived at the granary.

“Aigoo! Sirs! Are you here!”

The manor manager was the one who greeted us with strong emotions. He was a gray-haired old man, but unlike his appearance, he seemed very energetic.

“That crazy headless chick is roaming our farm like a living room, eating whatever crops she can! Please save us! It’s going crazy!”

William stopped the old man from kneeling down in tears.

“For now, please guide me to the place where I was attacked.”
“I’ll guide you right away!”

As expected, the field we were guided to was. Even at a glance, the damage seemed to be severe as it was scattered here and there. The cockatrice must have eaten as much as it was so large that the farmers sat down to death. He seemed to have lost the will to work.

“He eats up crops like that and then runs away right away! And when the boat goes down, he comes back! If he runs away, we’re out of luck! Please kill that crazy chick as soon as possible and save this farm !, Adventurers!”
“Okay, calm down.”

The old man seemed to have piled too much on the cockatrice. He seemed to have a motor in his mouth her, and hateful cries poured out from between his few teeth his.

“I think that ghastly cry still rings in my ears… Those wings, those beaks!”

Leaving behind the shrieking old man, we followed William. What kind of cosmic horror

As if he had good eyesight, William quickly found the footprints. There were large footprints deep among the fallen crops here and there.

I saw a lot of small footprints around, so it seemed like I was taking a lot of pups with me.

“The traces lead over there.”

William specified the direction. The direction they fled was towards the forest.

“Winia. Tracking him down or waiting for him to attack. There are two ways. Which one is better?”
“Um, wouldn’t it be better to track it down? There must be. Its nest.”
“My concern is that the farm will be raided while we are hunting down. Is that okay?”
“It’s okay once in a while! We’re going to track it down, but what’s the difference? And it’s a nest rather than that!”

The agreement between the two is over. To track down and hunt cockatrice.
