Chapter 346: Overlimit Skill Holder Vol 6

Vol 6: Chapter 13 (1)

Reiji And The Great Forest

Something is strange…

If I move straight while keeping in mind the direction of the sun, I should be able to get out of the undeveloped land “Canion” — even if I had to change course several times while being attacked by a huge desert worm, because the position of the sun is immutable.

I move faster with magic than riding a horse. After a few days, a mountain range should appear in front of me, and beyond that, I should either reach somewhere in the Keith Gran Federation, the Kruvan Holy Kingdom, or the Lev Magic Empire.

However, what I arrived at was–

「A forest!」

The forest spread as far as the eye can see. A great forest.

I jumped up to the top of the trees with the explosion of【Fire Magic】and the updraft of【Wind Magic】, but still! It was trees, trees, trees, forests, forests, forests, forests, forests, forests… Everywhere!

「How……?」

There is only one thing that I can think of.

Because the two worlds were united, the landscape changed drastically.

Although I could still use my【World Ruler】, its ability is to “analyze the stimuli I perceive”. I have not the slightest idea where I am currently.

It may be possible to figure out where I am from the position of the sun. But I don’t even know the coordinates of the cities, in the first place.

As I was worrying about my next course of action, my stomach grumbled.

「I guess I have no choice but to look for food first.」

I set foot into the large forest.

I used【World Ruler】at full-throttle to search for edible fruits.

The chirping of birds, the sound of animals battling — it felt like Mother Nature itself.

「……How nostalgic.」

After I regained the memory of my previous life and left the Sixth Mine, I foraged for food in a forest. I got lucky because I happened to be picked up by Silver Balance.

「I wonder if everyone is okay.」

I am also worried about that goddess.

Why did it try to kill me?

And El-san — he looked like a robot.

「Haa… It’s just one thing after another.」

What happened to the world?

「For the time being, I’ll just look around while foraging for food…」

With【World Ruler】, I wouldn’t die that easily.

Hopefully I can find someone who can guide me in this place.

**

Half a month has passed since then.

Half a month! I was most surprised.

For 15 days, exactly 15 days, I moved straight — I am certain I did not go in the wrong direction, because I have【World Ruler】after all —slept in the forest, ate in the forest, lived in the forest.

I think it has been well over 500km since I entered the great forest.

Considering the Amazon rainforest, 500km might not be a big deal, but even so, it takes a toll on my mental health.

That is probably why I thought the first person who appeared in front of me was a beast.

「Is this some kind of a feathery beast?」

The rich reddish-brown hair was quite wavy. Bird feathers adorned both sides of its temple.

The sleeveless linen clothes dyed in vivid warm colors such as red, yellow and orange.

And short. Probably only about 130 cm.

However, the fact is that this beast– ah, sorry, this person, is an adult. Though her height is deceiving, her well-endowed chest revealed the truth.

Her sharp eyes were in astonishment. As she fell on her butt, her short skirt rode up her knees, revealing in full her fur-make underpants.

「Ah… ah… ah…」

As I looked at her pointing at me in a panic, I realized that I had finally met a person.

「M-My… I did not expect to meet someone here.」

「Gyaaaaaaaaaa!」

First contact, failure.

She fell unconscious, foaming at the mouth.

「Why……?」

And I suddenly noticed. There was a dump truck-sized wild boar behind me. I thought that “Today’s meal is too big” and used magic to slice the wild boar into pieces.

I lived outdoors for 15 days in the forest, plus the desert and lake before I came here. Thus I was covered in mud and blood. …No wonder she fell unconscious.

**

「——Huh?」

「Have you woken up?」

「!?」

When she got up, she tried to get away from me. However, after noticing that I was a normal person, she exhaled in relief. I had managed to clean off the dirt and blood on my clothes at a nearby river.

The surroundings had gotten dark. The bonfire illuminated the woman.

「You… Did you see it? A small blood-smeared monster killed the wild boar that the elder called the Lord of the Forest!」

「N-No, I did not see it… there was no one nearby when I found you.」

「I see……」

Her way of speaking was quite reminiscent of Mimino-san.

「Um, my name is Reiji. Who are you?」

「I am Janja. Isn’t it obvious? I am Elder Hobbit Janja.」

Which part exactly is obvious?

「You are a resident of “another world”, correct?」she asked.

「!」

「I know. The Elder, a Pledger, said that the world has become one.」

I recalled the Elder Hobbit race. The Elder Hobbit race played the same role as the High Elf race in the back world as Pledgers of the “Skill Orb’s Covenant”.

「Thank you for helping. Janja wants to repay you, so come to our village.」

「Are you sure that’s a good idea?」

「Of course. The Elder said that we should bring back home any lost person in the forest. He said there is definitely a lost person in the forest. But also to be careful of the wild boar— Aaah! That small monster from earlier ate the wild boar! How scary!」

「I-I see…」

There is no way I can tell her that I killed the wild boar.

**

Janja and I started our journey the next morning. Janja was equipped with a dagger on her waist, and a wooden bow and arrow on her back.

The Elder Hobbit race seems to be the ancestor of the normal Hobbit race. And their lifespan seems to be about 200 years.

Janja was already 22 years old. She would no longer grow bigger with age, it seems.

「Janja is not good at hunting… her breasts get in the way…」she said.

Apparently, Elder Hobbit women having small breasts is the norm. Janja seems to be the exception, as she lifted her large breasts with both hands and sighed.

Her strong-willed eyes seemed somewhat cute as she looked down dejectedly.

「Janja would throw them away if she could…」she said.

「No!」

「Huh?」

「—Ah, I mean, no, it’s nothing.」

「??」

「It’s really nothing…」

「You have a stiff tone. You saved Janja’s life, you should be more bold.」

「It’s just a habit of mine.」

「Hmm…」

After that, Janja told me that there are a total of 1,803 Elder Hobbits. There is also a woman who will give birth next month, so the number would increase to 1,804.

As for Janja’s dagger, iron-manufacturing technology was founded about 20 years ago, and the weapons manufactured since have rapidly become stronger.

There was no real magic, but there was “magic”; things such as predicting tomorrow’s weather, treating the sick, and giving blessings to get rid of evil.

「Janja is surely blessed too, because she was saved by Reiji, after all!」

Janja was in a good mood. I asked Janja if she knew what a “skill” is, but she didn’t.

I thought there would be no point in explaining about skills at this juncture, so I kept silent.
