Taking a deep breath, I lifted my head and looked around.
A place full of orc corpses.

Kaham was nowhere to be seen.
I looked between the bodies to see if they were dead.
There was no
If he hadn’t been eaten by another monster in that brief moment, he would have escaped.
He ran away without helping… .
It was strange from the beginning.
Starting with the glove, to the thing that is trying to lead me inside and that brown barrel.
All of that tells us that the culprit is Kaham.
‘The Orcs were in a state of excitement. why?’
There was something that suddenly came to mind.
Orc stimulant.
A drug that paralyzes the sanity of orcs and makes them run recklessly.
However, it was not something that the user could avoid the Orcs.
He needed something else to avoid the gaze of the Orcs.
Stealth items, yes. Something like a top predator’s minute… .
And there’s probably something in that brown barrel he opened.
But should I hand it over?
More convincing evidence is needed.
Yes, certain items like orc stimulants.
“Ugh.”
A light moan was heard.
Hearing that sound, he looked down to see Beatrice holding her ankles and bowing her head.
“Does your ankle hurt?”
I checked her body.
The clothes he was wearing were soiled with dirt, perhaps because he had fallen over from the orcs.
She didn’t even look up and said nothing.
I could feel that he didn’t want to talk to me yet.
“You have to tell me so I can help.”
“I do not need.”
He scratched his cheek at the sound of her cold voice, still not raising his head.
Oh, Chager.
I forgot that there was blood on my hands.
I looked down at her, wiping the blood off my cheek with my sleeve.
Still, I thought we would have gotten along just a little bit better because we fought together.
Her trauma from four years ago seems to be that much unforgettable.
“Can you go back alone? There may be more orcs.”
At the word okra, her body flinched and trembled.
You don’t want to talk to me, but I think orcs are scary.
“If that’s the case, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
As I was about to move, she reached out and grabbed my pants.
“Help me.”
then open your mouth I must have been afraid to be alone in this forest.
So you grabbed my clothes.
“Then let’s look at the injured area first.”
He leaned over and grabbed her ankle. she trembles
I didn’t care and rolled up her pants.
it was swollen
The fact that I had another bump made me feel even more amazing about what I had endured until now.
This is nothing to worry about. I can never move alone.
“Get up.”
I turned and showed my back to her.
“what?”
“Get up. If you move with an injured foot, it will swell more.”
“… .”
I felt her hesitate for a moment.
It also felt heavy and warm on the back for a while.
‘Than you think… .’
Light yet heavy, contradictory feeling.
Still, it was surprisingly not heavy, whether the exercise was worth it, or if the effect of mana was still remaining.
“I’ll move slowly, so tell me if you feel uncomfortable.”
“… yes.”
As he nodded, his swaying hair brushed his cheek.
It smelled good.
when trying to move.
“What is this.”
Something obscured my view. I wondered if a leaf had fallen from a tree branch by the wind, so I grabbed the one that was stuck to my face.
“… .”
It looks like a leaf.
faded yellow.
Except for the fact that it was unnaturally full of holes and that there was a thread attached to the end.
‘A disgusting smell.’
From that hole, a stinky smell came out.
It smelled like rotting excrement for years, or it smelled like fermented durian or skate.
In a word, the worst smell.
“Uh, that… .”
Upon examining it, Beatrice, who was on her back, pretended to know.
Then he tells me to put him down.
The appearance that initially showed me hostility disappeared, and I started talking normally.
“Do you know what this is?”
“If what I think is right… Your face is too close.”
“Oh, sorry.”
I took my face away from her.
She looked at me like that and opened her mouth.
“… And how long will you honor me? You’re so weird.”
It’s strange… .
If so, then you should do what is convenient for you.
Still, it was a bit uncomfortable.
They call me by name without using Youngae, but to be respectful… .
Fortunately, they told me not to show respect first. He nodded willingly.
“okay.”
“… .”
She bowed her head without speaking.
After looking at the leaves for a moment, her eyes twinkle.
Where did the shyness go? He looked at the leaves with a serious face.
Even though she was uncomfortable with me, she looked at the leaves to see if her passion for learning hadn’t gone away, and she didn’t seem to care about me.
‘It’s not like there’s only one of them.’
I moved away from her concentration and moved among the corpses of orcs.
Looking at the branches overhead, I see.
There were more that resembled the leaves Beatrice was holding.
I’ve collected three of them.
Other than that, I couldn’t find it anywhere I looked.
I took it and returned to Beatrice.
When I handed the leaf over to her, she nodded after confirming what she had received from me.
“Do you know what it is?”
“This is a stimulant.”
stimulant?
If the stimulant she is talking about is the stimulant I know, then I’m right.
“Using this increases all the Orcs’ desires. Things like appetite, greed.”
She continued with a serious face.
“Among them, it increases the appetite explosively. The main prey of orcs is humans.”
I understood what she was trying to say.
The orcs, blinded by their appetite, will attack the humans as soon as they spot them, and if that happens, those living nearby will surely be in danger.
Above all, the fact that this is hanging here means that someone set it up to kill the children.
“Then what should I do to avoid those orcs?”
“The feces of a predator. I need at least a troll, or more of a predator. An excited orc can find even a hidden wizard.”
Then things fit.
The stimulant belongs to Kaham, and that’s why he had a predatory stool to avoid the orcs’ gaze.
Otherwise, there’s no reason the brash guy would carry around a dull brown barrel.
So how should I cook it now?
***
Somehow got Raymond inside.
It seems to feel strange, but since there is no exact thing, I followed myself.
Then, at the sudden sound of a woman’s scream, Kaham felt his heart sink.
Could it be that someone else was there?

Kaham, who hurriedly followed Raymond, seemed to have escaped because his heart sank.
‘Beatrice… Why is she?’
There was someone who shouldn’t be there.
Beatrice. The eldest daughter of a famous magical family equivalent to Millennium.
The original plan was that she shouldn’t be there.
It wasn’t just her.
There was an Oak Warrior.
Orcs might not have known it, but the Orc Warriors were dangerous to him as well.
Because the object with the warrior ignores it even if there is a predator’s stool.
You have to run away.
If you stay here, you may be harmed yourself.
Beatrice was caught, but there was nothing she could do.
It was a problem with her being here.
When the eyes of the orcs turned this way, Kaham opened the lid of the barrel he had in his bosom.
Then a foul smell began to emanate from it.
I tried it a few times, but it was a disgusting smell that I couldn’t get used to.
The eyes of the orcs who flinched for a moment focused on Raymond from Kaham.
Raymond, who was dealing with the orc, glanced back.
When Kaham met Raymond’s eyes, he flinched and trembled, staring at him for a moment.
‘Now, if you noticed, what would you do? I’m going to die anyway.’
What an oak warrior. Even the knights are picky.
As an Orc Warrior, there was no way that incompetent guy could survive.

Kaham ran away without looking back.
I suddenly remembered what happened yesterday, but I shook my head.
Raymond can never defeat an Orc Warrior.
‘It’s better. If it’s that guy, I’ll definitely kill him.’
Although slightly different, the result is still the same.
Beatrice was there, but it couldn’t be helped.
It wasn’t that he dragged her in, and that she got caught, it’s not his fault.

Kaham, who was running to the meeting place, suddenly stopped and looked at himself.
Her body was too clean to be said to have escaped alone.

Kaham tore his clothes and returned to the entrance scarred.
“Well? Why did you come alone? Where is your party?”
“Oh, the Oak Warrior has appeared!”
At the knight’s words, Kaham shouted with his face contorted.
“It’s an Oak Warrior. It wasn’t there when we looked.”
“So you’re saying I lied? It really has appeared! I barely escaped alone!”
The angry Kaham’s voice spread in all directions, and all eyes were drawn to the sound of the Oak Warrior.
Only then did the knights, realizing the seriousness, urgently asked.
“Who were you with?”
“With Raymond Youngshik… Oh, and Lady Beatrice was there too.”

Kaham spoke in a voice full of anger and sadness.
“Where are you.”
“Me, over there.”
In response to the knight’s question, Kaham raised his hand and pointed in one direction.
The stiff-faced knights headed in the direction he pointed.
“Are you okay? Your face is very pale.”
People around him flocked to him and offered words of comfort.

Kaham lowered his head.
To not show a smile that can’t be hidden.
Now that the obstacles were gone, he thought that Count Warrug and Selina’s attention would return to him.
Although there were unplanned sacrifices.
what can i do That’s my seller too.
“Oh, uh. there… !”
“Raymond, it’s Raymond!”
what?
The voices of the people who had been heard at that time were heard.
At their words, Kaham’s body, surrounded by people, stiffened.

Kaham slowly raised his head and saw something he shouldn’t have seen.
Seeing this, Kaham’s face turned pale.
Raymond, carrying Beatrice, was approaching with a ferocious face.
He approached with the knights escorted and shouted at the knights.
“Healer! Bring a therapist!”
He set Beatrice aside.
Those who returned alive from the Orc Warriors.
Everyone who had gathered around Kaham ran to them.
What happened?
Is it true that you met an Oak Warrior?
How did you come back alive?
People wanted to hear their stories.
But Beatrice stayed still with her mouth tightly shut.
Raymond shrugged his shoulders and made his way through the crowd to Kaham.
“You managed to escape by yourself.”
Raymond glared at Kaham with a dark flesh in his eyes.

Kaham hesitated at the momentum and stepped back.
