chapter 3
3 – Episode 3: The Damn Wasteland – 1
The heat of the wilderness drives people crazy.
But what drives me even more crazy than that is none other than Kyoko, who sticks behind me and follows me.
“I’m dying from the f*cking heat, get away.”
“What I don’t like is www. I can’t imagine that Chop was endowed with the ability of sunshade.”
I said with a blatant frown to Kyoko, who was sitting close behind me to avoid the sunlight.
Kyoko shook her head, still hiding herself in my shadow to avoid the sunlight.
“f*ck it hot!”
Baka-!
Annoyed by Kyoko’s behavior that bothered her by sticking to her back even though it was still hot, I stuck a honey cheek into her head.
“Very Sick!!! Shameless! This is where Chop’s true nature is revealed! My whole body starts to tremble with fear…”
Kyoko shed tears and shouted at me as if indignant.
“This guy is rude! I’m sure you’re a bully who has dark thoughts inside!”
“It is a dynamic. Just as a small country cannot defeat a large country, it is natural that the weak cannot defeat the strong. The world does not stand on the side of the weak.”
“Such nonsense…! That is very unreasonable!”
And as if asking for help, I started to appeal to Rin, who was silently walking down the street.
Lynn replied firmly.
It was fortunate that at least one word was straightened out, but that bastard’s matchmaking was to the point of getting sick of it.
…
“Wait a minute everyone…”
As I was repeating a meaningless argument, something caught my eye.
It was a gigantic lizard moving slowly in the distance.
Normally, they would run away in fright, but to us, who had been starving for two days, the lizard was nothing but fresh meat.
“catch…”
I murmured involuntarily, and the three of us, including myself, started running madly toward the lizard.
“Don’t just grab the torso, I’m blocking you from opening your mouth!”
“This guy is very strong wwww”
“Is a mere trifle trying to resist the might of a great nation!”
A grand welcome party took place.
Kyoko climbed on top of the lizard, trying to block its movements, while Rin held her head down to keep the lizard from opening its mouth.
If someone witnesses that, they’ll be laughing so hard that they’ll have a belly button.
However, for two days already, nothing entered our eyes in an empty stomach.
In this f*cking wasteland, no water, no plants, and at least not even a small beast shone.
If he really went on like this, far from meeting the demon king, he would be found as a withered mummy in the wilderness that continued no matter how much he walked.
In the meantime, it was a lizard miraculously found.
I had to put it in my stomach at all costs.
“I’m f*cking sorry! I’m sorry human!”
I picked up a nearby stone and hit it at the immobilized lizard. I was screaming sorry with my mouth, but my hands didn’t stop.
It is a fundamental weapon of mankind that has been used since the Paleolithic.

“Haa…I finally got it…”
Along with the proud feeling of having food, a tremendous sense of shame suddenly began to come over me.
what warrior is this
What kind of f*cking warrior party is this?
No f*ck, what kind of warrior party found a lizard and rushed at it with their eyes turned upside down?
No matter how driven they were, at least once they enjoyed knowledge and culture as modern people living in the developed 21st century.
However, I had only been starving for two days, and just like a caveman, when I thought that a lizard had killed me, I had rushed to save it, and tears covered my eyes.
This is not a warrior party!
We, who are now covered with the blood of lizards, were just savages.
While wrestling with the lizard, the sun was already setting.
Feeling skeptical, I let out a deep sigh.
…
“Leave the fire to me.”
As I was gathering dry wooden sticks, Rin said with a confident expression.
“no. Just go and sit down.”
“Is it that a small country can’t trust a great country!”
“Sleep in disbelief, have you forgotten what the f*ck you did yesterday?”
I was furious and recalled the memories of yesterday.
Last night, I had to face the night without having time to figure out where this place was.
I got hypothermia right away and the temperature went down to the point where I was about to die, so I started gathering dry branches and lighting them to live.
Rin, who had been watching it for a while, said that she would light a fire herself, and started to light it along with me.
When I was in elementary school, I managed to make a spark while thinking of a fire-making class during the Boy Scouts activity, which was unnecessarily expensive and had nothing to learn.
He hurriedly moved the embers to the firewood and started a fire.
After being thrilled with the results obtained in two hours, Rin had to do something she shouldn’t have done.
pass-
He extinguished it by stepping on the flame he managed to light.
“Ah…”
In such a shocking situation, I couldn’t even breathe properly.
“Oops, I made a mistake. sorry. But don’t worry As a great countryman, I will take care of you until the end.”
That year obviously stepped on it on purpose.
When you apologize, don’t the corners of your mouth go up?
I felt the blood rushing backwards.
“You f*cking bitch!!!!”
…
Roughly something like that happened.
Kyoko and I had to shiver in the cold for an hour until Rin, who was too stubborn to start a fire, started a new one.
As I expected, it was clear that the reason that would naturally arouse the urge to kill was because it could not be tolerated that a small country did something before a large country.
If you see one, you know ten.
She was a woman who could do that.
I admit that I have a strong sense of responsibility, but I can’t possibly sympathize with that behavior.
After barely stopping Rin from trying to light a fire, asking if he doesn’t believe in the great power, I started a fire.
Of course, this time I had to keep her from putting out the lights.
I lifted one of the lizard’s legs, drawing their attention.
In an instant, laughter broke out.
I couldn’t take my eyes off the lizard’s meat moving in my hand, and it was because they looked so cute with their eyes moving together.
It reminded me of the puppies I raised in the countryside when I was young, and I missed it for some reason.
I raised one male and two females, but it was very difficult because the females fought so hard over the male.
However, when I brought snacks, they were so cute that they accepted and ate each other amicably, as if they had a fight.
The sound of crackling bonfires echoed.
The lizard meat smelled quite delicious and was slowly cooking.
“for a moment…”
While waiting for the meat to cook, a thought crossed my mind.
It was about the translation given by the goddess that I had been forgetting about for a while because I hadn’t even thought about it.
What they say sounds like shit to me.
So, to put it the other way around, doesn’t that mean that the words I say are also translated into a f*cking way of speaking to them?
With such an ominous thought, I questioned them.
“Chop’s tone? The meaning is unknown, but really vulgar, wwww, words of an inferior cultural level, wwww”
Kyoko seemed to think for a moment, then gave an answer with a smile. I don’t know the exact meaning, but I knew as much as it was definitely not good.
“Um, you mean Joo Hyuk’s tone. Certainly, it’s a condescending tone. I don’t know what the phrase “gay?” at the end of each word means, but it’s probably a sign of friendly feelings for a small country. I don’t think it’s bad.”
In fact, I guessed from the time I heard the bitch say that it would be translated into the language used by the community.
f*ck.
It’s really embarrassing.
There was nothing to say about Kyoko.
Right now, I wouldn’t want to mix words with someone who uses that tone in real life.
I felt ashamed and humiliated at the same time.
But what can I do? No matter how well I say it, the words that are conveyed to them are fixed.
Then it was best not to care.
let’s not think
I am a normal person.
My conscience pricked me, but compared to them, I was relatively normal.
Let us not doubt this fact.
If even I assimilated into them, then there would be no turning back.
“Okay, what’s the point of talking or thinking? You just have to work hard here. Tomorrow, please get out of this dog-like desert. Let’s work hard.”
I keep thinking about it, but I think two are better than one, no matter how f*cked up it is.
Today, because there were only three of us, we caught that f*cking big lizard, and I couldn’t guarantee that we’d caught it if there wasn’t even one of us.
In that sense, it meant trying to do well again.
“Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and serve meat wwwwwww”
“Joo-hyeok, you talk a lot like a small country person. Why don’t you quickly offer the meat to me as a tribute? I haven’t eaten since yesterday, so my head is dizzy.”
Kyoko and Rin seemed preoccupied with meat and didn’t even listen to me.
It was always their answer.
Each of us grabbed a lizard leg the size of a forearm and took a big bite.
It was hard to believe that it was an animal living in the desert. Because the meat was soft, the meat was easily torn off the bone, making it easier to eat.
The first feeling of meat that touches your tongue like that.
“f*ck… that’s f*cking tasteless…”
It was surprisingly tasteless.
To compare it to, it was a bright apricot.
No matter how soft and juicy it is, what do you do?
The taste was just f*cking disgusting, like the smell of chicken hair from a poultry farm, with every bite.
f*ck. The meat obtained through such hardships tastes like this.
I couldn’t hide the sad feeling.
“Should I just sleep…?”
I still have to live on, so I cautiously suggested it after eating just a few bites, and the girls nodded without saying anything.
It seems that the impact on the meat was quite large.
I lay down near a campfire.
Only the sound of burning firewood broke the silence.
I was still hungry, and my body was tired.
The result of wasted energy and effort for a lizard that could not even be eaten was accumulated fatigue.
I closed my heavy eyelids and went to sleep.
About an hour had passed like that.
Less – Less –
Perhaps because the bed was uncomfortable, even strange hallucinations resonated in my ears in my sleep.
It sounded like a horse carriage you’d only hear in a movie set in the Middle Ages. Well, that’s what it sounded like.
I thought nothing of it and turned around.
Wait, a carriage?
Awake, I jumped up from my seat.
In the distance, with a weak light, a carriage was passing by.
Goosebumps ran down my back.
I was sure If you miss that, you could really miss it.
“f*ck-! here! There are people! Help!”
My throat broke and I screamed.
“Chop finally came back wwww”
“Sleep is said to be the driving force of all living things. Do people in small countries not even know that?”
Startled by my sudden cry, they woke up and talked to me with a frown on their faces.
Either that or not, I was running towards the carriage, begging for my life with an ugly look that made it hard to believe that I was a hero.
I will survive no matter what.
I’m going to somehow survive and punch that f*cking goddess in the face.
