My gaze connected with the Black Orc’s.
There’s quite a lot of distance, it might be my imagination.
I quickly rejected that thinking. That Orc has definitely become aware of me. And it ignored me.
In those eyes, I clearly sensed intelligence.
It overlooked me as it did not consider me threat probably.
“This is bad, Ermenhilde.”
[What is?]
“That guy is extremely intelligent.”
Our eyes had met, only that.
But, it did not rush at me, nor did it become cautious. It ignored me.
There’s no way it’d didn’t realize my presence. I think. No I’m sure.
Just by meeting eyes with it, I’ve understood more about that Orc.
That’s why, I realized that it is trouble. It is a danger.
The fact that it ignored me means that it considers me as not a threat.
It’ll be bad to leave that black Orc alone.
That’s my intuition, after spending 2 years while defeating the Demon God.
Those intelligent are definitely extremely dangerous monsters.
Using traps would be common, taking hostages, using the enemy’s weaknesses. They are existences that would do anything to win.
Honestly speaking, they are harder to defeat than stronger ones who come and fight head on.
“Let’s return to the village and have a strategy meeting.”
[Though whether that girl would be of any help in the first place is pretty doubtful.]
“That’s true.”
Though I want to ask for help from the men in the village as well but I guess Orc would be too much for them as opponents.
Monsters are a threat to even trained soldiers after all. It might be too much for the villagers.
The only one that can be of any help is Miss Francesca who can use magic.
And even that magician is an amateur with no experience.
I could only sigh.
“I hate trouble. That’s why I wanted to avoid fighting monsters as well.”
[Then don’t be charmed by women……….haah.]
Can’t help that.
That chest along with those upturned eyes are not fair at all.
Or rather, I wouldn’t mind if it was just normal orcs. If they were normal that is.
I looked back, but the black Orc doesn’t seem to be chasing me.
If it’s going to ignore me, then I can only fell thankful.
When our eyes had met, my stomach had turned cold thinking that I’ll have to fight it along with the 11 Orcs. If it’s going to let me go, then I will run.
Wondering about the humiliation of being let go by those pig-like Orcs?
It’s much better than dying.
There are fight where you simply cannot retreat no matter what but this isn’t one.
Even Ermenhilde understands that’s why it didn’t say anything when I chose to fight when I’ll have better chances of winning.
It isn’t saying anything but, it does seem to be angry.
It really has too much pride.
I caressed the medal inside my pocket with my finger.
[We, who defeated the Demon God, to turn our backs against mere Orcs…..how deplorable.]
“It’s better than dying.”
[……For Renji to give a sound argument, this even more painful.]
I’ll really cry dammit.
In the end, they didn’t chase us even till I left the forest.
