Chapter 2: 2

The last chance is a death trip?

***---***

 

"I'll give you one last chance, go the other way, the opposite direction from where we're going. There's a town after you've gone through the wasteland and through the woods, go to the barracks of that town. If you can do that, I'll think about an assignment."

 

The princess, dressed in golden armor, pointed to the road leading to the other side of the wasteland.

 

"Well, am I going alone?" I asked.

 

"Yes, who else is there?"

 

"Um, water or food?"

 

"In some cases, you may lose your equipment and have just your body alone, even if you don't have a follower, you just walk on the road.. You don't need anything like that."

 

90% of the princess is so unapproachable that she might as well be made of harshness.

 

For me, who always uses escalators and elevators and thinks that if you use the stairs, you will lose, it seems to be a tough test.

 

The judge onee-san looks at me with pity, but isn't there something wrong with it?

 

"Can you at least give him just water?"

 

Oh! Chairman, how kind you are!

 

"Hmm, even if you sip the muddy water, you'll get there."

 

Damn, damn, I'll make this princess say Gahun someday.

 

Thus, I was left alone and everyone else boarded the carriages and left.

 

Because it was frustrating, when everyone left by carriage, I sang Donna Donna.(TN: A song about leading a calf to slaughter.)

 

Well, it can't be helped even if I stay still, so I wonder if I can walk.

 

The moon, which is about twice as large as the moon on earth, is shining in the sky, so even though it is a night road, there is no need to worry about your feet.

 

That said, there really isn't a single streetlight, and when the moon sets, it will be pitch black.

 

I don't know how far it is to the town, but it's better to hurry a little.

 

First of all, isn't the forest quite far away? Is it because of your mind that you can see it so far away?

 

For the time being, I'm walking even though I'm confused, but I'm really walking.

 

Speaking of how serious it is, it's really walking with the slippers that are usually worn indoors.

 

But, I don't think about wearing slippers and walking long distances at all.

 

The sole is very thin, and the soles of my feet started to hurt just by walking a little.

 

Unlike the beautiful roads in Tokyo that are paved, it is difficult to walk because it is a stone or bare soil road.

 

Even so, I walked desperately, and I think I walked for more than two hours.

 

It was during the 3rd hour of class that I was summoned, so normally it's already past lunch time, I'm so hungry I'm about to die.

 

While enduring hunger and pain in my legs, I walked for another 30 minutes and finally reached the entrance to the forest.

 

It's good to arrive, but it's dark, it's too dark! The moon has already tilted considerably, and I think I can barely see about 10m ahead.

 

If it's up to 20m away, I can't see it at all, and if the moon sets, isn't it out?

 

But if you go through the forest, there's a town, right? I'm hungry so I have no choice but to go early.

 

That's why I decided to walk with guts, but it's tough, painful, honestly scary, too scary for a bean sprout who grew up in the city.

 

Already, it feels like you're groping, and it's completely at the haunted house level.

 

I regretted it after walking for five minutes, why didn't I spend the night outside the forest?

 

It was pitch black, so while I was walking with my feet on my mind I heard it.

 

"Gya..."

 

"What? What is there?"

 

I raised my face in a hurry, it was shining, eyes... ...

 

"Uwa~a~a~a..."

 

While screaming I tried to go back the way I came, even there eyes were shining.

 

"Gya! Gyagyagya-!"

 

In the blink of an eye, an unidentified something jumped in.

 

What I saw in the moonlight was an ugly monster that was the same size or a little smaller than me.

 

"Go, goblins ... don't come over here!"

 

"Gya-Gyagyagya!"

 

I swung my hands around like crazy trying to get rid of the goblins, but it seemed that I was hit by something, I felt a shock to the back of my head, and I easily let go of my consciousness.

 

What just walk down the road, that villainous princess, I'm going to really blow you away ... ...

 

I was easily knocked out by a goblin-like monster, but I quickly regained consciousness.

 

Why is that? That's because I'm being eaten!

 

"Ouch! Damnit, let go! It hurts, it hurts, stop! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, you bastards!"

 

Even so, I screamed as much as I could.

 

Because, of course, not only my hands and feet, but even my belly is bitten.

 

Moreover, it hurts because the meat is being bitten off and eaten without any adjustment.

 

"Guaaaa! It hurts, it hurts, igyaaaaaa!"

 

While my limbs were being held down and I couldn't move, I felt that something was being pulled from my stomach, and when I looked, the goblins were eating my intestines with a bloody mouth.

 

"Gobu ... Goho, Goho, Gebo ..."

 

Something warm is flowing back into my throat, probably blood.

 

"No, I don't want it ... I don't want it ... gobu, I don't want it, I don't want it, help me ... ... help me, gebu, gefu ... ... help me, help me, help me ... ... gofu ... ... someone, save me!"

 

Because even my internal organs were being eaten, I couldn't help but pray.

 

Bushu ... ...

 

Suddenly, there was a crushing sound of meat, and the goblin's neck flew in the air.

 

What? What happened?

 

"Gi? Gaga Gaga?"

Bushu ... ... Bushu ... ... Bushu ... ...

 

The flesh-crushing sound continues, as if to drown out the suspicious goblin cries.

 

I could see a goblin whose head was skewered with something sharp.

 

Kasha ... ... Kasha ... ... Kasha ... ... Kasha ... ...

 

After the signs of the goblins clinging to my body disappeared, a flock of skeletons appeared.

 

A more powerful monster ... what is this, it's checkmate ... I let go of my consciousness again.

 

Chun, Chun, Chun ... ...

 

The next morning, I woke up with a bird song.

 

"Ah, is this the famous 'Morning Chun'? Yes, i was looking forward to it last night ... Oh!".

 

When I jumped up with a surprised self boke-tsukkomi, I was surrounded by a group of skeletons in a circle.

 

"Well, what's going on with this? Someone please explain."

 

[ I will answer, My Lord. ]

 

"Wow, I got a reply--!"

 

When I was surprised by the voice that suddenly echoed in my head, a skeleton knelt down in wait.

 

"Um ... Is it you who answered just now?"

 

[ It really is My Lord. ]

 

Apparently, the voice that echoes in my head is a kind of telepathy by the skeleton.

 

"My Lord?"

 

When I pointed at myself for confirmation, the skeleton nodded.

 

[ We are protecting ourselves according to the orders of My Lord. ]

 

"Um ... that means I called you all?"

 

[ That's right, My Lord. ]

 

The skeleton nodded again, I don't know why, but he seemed to have a grinning and satisfied smile.

 

The skeletons that surrounded me were ten, and seven goblin corpses were piled up in the distance.

 

The wounds were fresh and gross.

 

According to the skeletons, they were knights who died in an ambush near here long ago.

 

Because of the regret that they couldn't protect their master, they were wandering around because they couldn't ascend, but they received my rescue order and subdued the goblins.

 

"But I've never used magic, and when I got a magic check last night, I was even told that I was 'useless'."

 

[ If you summoned all of us without even being aware of it, Kent-sama would have a unique necromantic quality. ]

 

It's a bit exaggerated to be called 'My Lord', So I had them call me by name.

 

They used 'sama', but that's a compromise, isn't it?

 

By the way, on behalf of the skeletons, Reinhardt-san, who was the captain of the unit at the time when he was a knight, answered the question.

 

"What kind of magic is necromancy?"

 

[ Necromancy is a magic of darkness, but it is not a very common magic because there are very few magicians who have the aptitude of darkness. ]

 

"After all, it's a darkness attribute. If so, was it the correct reaction that the 'Evil Eye Crystal' did not shine?"

 

[ No, if you ahve the qualities of Kent-sama, the 'Evil Eye Crystal' should definitely be dyed black. ]

 

"But the 'Evil Eye Crystal' remained clear, why is that? Is it broken?"

 

[ Now, I wasn't there at Kent-sama's place to judge magical power, so ... ]

 

While the skeleton thinks he twists his head like in a surrealistic painting.

 

"Well, I forgot the important thing, why am I alive?"

 

That's right, I was cut down by the goblins last night and had my intestines pulled out, but at dawn I was fine.

 

Well, the uniform I was wearing was torn to pieces and looked like a bloody rag, but my body wasn't scratched.

 

By the way, when I woke up, I was hungry and asked the skeletons to gather some fruit.

 

One type is like mango but the taste is orange, and the other type is like adding banana and avocado and dividing by two.

 

The appearance and taste don't match, so I was confused at first, but the freshly picked fruit is really delicious.

 

[ As far as I can see, Kent seems to have used healing magic on himself. ]

 

Reinhardt-san answered, but somehow he looks confident.

 

"Healing magic is light attribute, isn't it?"

 

[ Some people can use water as well as light, but when it comes to healing wounds that reach the internal organs, only light healing magic can be considered. Usually ... ... ]

 

"Usually ... does that mean that unusual water magic might have been used?"

 

[ No, it is said that darkness and light magic are in conflict, and it is usually unthinkable for someone with a darkness aptitude to use light magic. ]

 

It seems that the skeletons around him are listening to the story, and it may be a little cute to see them all squinting.

 

[ A moment, is that alright? Kent-sama. ]

 

"Yes, it's okay, uh ..."

 

[ I'm Basten, the commander of the unit. ]

 

He looks a little different, but it's hard to distinguish the individual because they're bone.

 

[ This is a guess, but maybe Kent-sama has both light and dark magical aptitudes, and they cancel each other out, thus the 'Evil Eye Crystal' did not react. ]

 

The other skeletons also slam their firsts onto their palms and nod.

 

"But if both magical powers are not balanced with exactly the same strength, either reaction will occur, right?"

 

When I asked a question, the skeletons twisted their heads all at once and started thinking.

 

Yeah, this is pretty cute.

 

[ Whether they are exactly the same and balanced, or because they are unexpected attributes that have both attributes, they didn't react. In any case, it is certain that even 'Evil Eye Crystal' could not determine it. ]

 

"Yeah, it's more natural to think that it didn't react unexpectedly."

 

I thought it was a 'useless' failure, but this opened the path to a cheat again.
