4 – Episode 4: The Damn Wasteland – 2
what is a warrior
I’m not talking about the dictionary meaning.
It’s just a question of what a warrior fights for and what he gains.
It is easy for a warrior to starve to death if he lives on justice alone.
Is there any reason why you have to be a warrior?
Rather than being a broken-hearted warrior with no money, find another job where you won’t have to worry about starving.
This is for your mental health and your body.
Also, it is said that a warrior is a level that a criminal can never reach.
I think that’s right.
If you’re going to be in this f*cking warrior’s party, you won’t be able to last a single day with a criminal’s mental strength.
…
“come-!!! Another world has appeared wwww”
Kyoko was talking with a very excited look.
Looking around at the people who got off the carriage, they laughed at what was so good.
“I’m really sorry for this early morning.”
I managed to keep the excited Kyoko away from the man.
It was the only hope to get us out of here.
On the days when I feel that their words and actions are offensive, and they leave without giving us a ride.
By pessimistic about life, I will escape from this hell through death.
Since it was our first contact with a person from another world, we were quite nervous, so we should be as polite as possible to get us out of this f*cking wasteland.
The person who got off the carriage was a single man.
His reflection in the lamp he was holding was the faint wrinkles on his half-naked hair.
As you can guess, he appeared to be about middle-aged.
The attire was wearing a unique type of clothing that was a mixture of thin cloth and animal skin.
“This wwww guy has hair loss even in another world, his hair is so shiny!!”
“Do it in moderation, you crazy bitch!”
I gave a heartfelt night to Kyoko, who was talking excitedly in front of people from another world before I knew it.
She crouched down, grabbed the crown of her head, and groaned in pain.
Are you hitting candles on a plate that will not be enough even if you look good!
“sorry! Instead, I apologize.”
“Apologies? Why are you apologizing to me?”
“yes…?”
I bowed my head and said.
However, the man tilted his head and made an expression as if he didn’t know why, and answered.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen people using these formal speeches, but I certainly remember the ones you use.”
“A formal way of speaking…?”
formal speech?
Who the hell is using that kind of speech here?
I’d rather have the ground-crawling worm speak gentlemanly, I bet none of the three of us talk normally.
Even me.
“Yes. It’s okay if you don’t tell me if you want to hide it. I’m not aware of it, so I don’t want to foolishly probe into your identities.”
What the hell is that guy talking about?
Perhaps this world is a world in which good and evil are reversed, so that such vicious words are accepted as formality?
While the ridiculous imaginations were swirling in my head, I suddenly remembered a word the goddess bitch said a few days ago.
He said that for sure, our words will be heard with a weighty tone to the people of this world.
This situation must have been the result of that ability.
It was so frustrating. It was the only positive ability that the goddess gave us, so I was even more suspicious.
It was hard to believe that the sociopath would have endowed him with normal abilities.
However, I was in a situation where I couldn’t openly ask someone I was meeting for the first time how I was talking right now.
“Ah yes! If you feel good about it, we appreciate it.”
“Judging from the way they speak, they must be high-ranking people like me that I would never have met. How did you guys end up in this wilderness…?”
I said with a bright smile.
yes good is good
It was better to jump on the bandwagon of this situation than to be bothered by the need to confirm it.
I don’t know where in our words we feel the elegance, but it seems to go well for now.
“Ah… what is that… uh! On the way back, I met bandits and robbed my luggage and wagon.”
“A thief… you mean?”
“Yes… don’t even say that… He threatened me with a choice between my life and the wagon, so I handed over the wagon with the thought of living and seeing it for the time being, and was left in this wasteland with my bare body.”
“It’s strange… that there are bandits in the middle of the wilderness of Daybren… This is a place where the terrain becomes more difficult the closer you get to the center, so unless you’re familiar with the geography, you can’t enter…”
I quickly rolled a duckbill and came up with a plausible reason. When I passed it on to the man, he raised his eyebrows and gave me a strange expression.
No f*ck, I’ll just fool you.
It seemed that he was more suspicious than he thought.
“And again, strangely friendly thieves. Even to my lowly point of view, the women over there are quite beautiful, but I don’t understand why the thieves left them alone and took only their luggage and wagons…”
Confused for a moment, I couldn’t say anything.
He was a man with good senses to the point of being suspicious.
I have to somehow rectify what I said and come up with a plausible excuse again.
“Ah, that, so the thieves… what were they…? Yes, it was a group of female bandits! What’s his name… The Dark Barbarian… That’s right. It must have been that name! Anyway, there were a lot of big women…”
f*ck amy A dark barbarian.
It was too ugly when I thought about it, but I had to come up with an excuse somehow, so I couldn’t help it.
“It’s even creepier after hearing the explanation… A gigantic group of female bandits covered in black cloth… Well, I’ve heard that the number of bandits is increasing exponentially due to the war in the west these days…”
I couldn’t believe it, but it seemed to work.
Now is your chance. I have to push myself into this state and get help.
“As you can see, the girls next to me are very fragile. I’m protecting them somehow, but even that has reached its limit.”
I demonstrated a miraculous negotiation technique that has been used from ancient times to the present, regardless of nationality or gender.
Emotional arm!
It was a terrifying technique that any human with a conscience would be unable to overcome without help, unless he was a cold-blooded man without blood or tears.
“We barely survived the bandits, but we haven’t had a proper meal for two days already… Could you please be kind and take us outside the wilderness…?”
The man was looking at us with a pitiful expression.
this is a success I had no doubt that I was successful.
“What nonsense are you talking about, Joo Hyuk! I’m not weak enough to receive help from a small country! Why would you lie to that man…!”
“Chop’s ugly lies really substandard wwww”
Rin, who was suddenly shouting in rage, and Kyoko, who suddenly intruded into the conversation, hurriedly covered their mouths with her hands.
‘Take care of yourself, crazy bitches!!’
I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would walk away in this situation. How the f*ck can you not be like this even if you don’t notice!
Even the f*cking brutes would be shutting their mouths in this situation.
They went beyond sprinkling ashes on ready-made rice, and simply tossed the rice on top of the ashes.
“Haha…they are in a very sensitive state right now because they can’t rest properly..”
Cold sweat ran down his spine.
Isn’t this what’s wrong
While my mind went white, the man opened his mouth and started talking.
“I don’t know the details, but I think I know that you value them very much. I was moved by his warm heart.
good. I won’t be able to go right away due to supplies and circumstances, but I’ll take you out of the wilderness.”
I wondered if that man had a good sense or a bad feeling.
But the important thing is that he evaded this desperate situation wonderfully.
“thank you!”
We were able to take one step out of such a dark, dog-f*cked situation.
Of course, it was still a dog-like situation where you couldn’t go back unless you picked the head of the demon king you didn’t know the face of, but it was unmistakably true that you had taken a step forward.
We left the carcass of the terrible-tasting lizard that we shared our memories with for the first time in another world and got on the carriage.
The sky seen through the carriage window was an early night before dawn. Looking at the unique blue scenery at dawn, I felt comforted for nothing.
***
It wasn’t until noon, when the sun was up to the top of the head, that the carriage stopped.
“This place…”
“Ah, come to think of it, I guess I didn’t explain. ”
I got off the carriage and looked around.
It was a village with dozens of houses of unusual architectural style made of leather that I had never seen before.
In fact, it was more like a hut than a house.
“This is Calper, a village where the descendants of the wilderness live. The word calper also means the last village in the language here.”
“okay…”
“Ah, don’t stand like this for now, go to my house and talk.”
The man invited us to his house as if he had nothing to say. There was no reason to refuse, so I followed him with a grateful heart.
When the man opened the door, a girl came out.
“Dad!”
“Oh my Tyr, it seems like you’ve gotten prettier after a week?”
I was looking at it with a hearty smile at the daily scenery I saw for the first time since coming here.
“Dad, those people…”
The man’s daughter pointed at us and, hiding behind her father, began to speak.
Yes, since I’m definitely a child, I can’t help it even if I’m shy.
By the way, I tend to love children, so I couldn’t help but find her cute.
“They stink!”
No, I’m just canceling that idea.
damn it wasn’t cute at all
Yes, it must have smelled because it was covered in lizard blood, but did it have to be done in front of a human?
No matter how young he was, he was rude.
Falling into this world as a hero to kill the demon lord, the child’s first impression was that it stinks, which was quite shocking.
