We all walked westward, just as Shelly had told us to.
“Mr. Alex. There’s something up ahead.”
Lydia spotted something in the darkness.
The light on my shield still didn’t illuminate it, but we followed Lydia’s directions and arrived at a broken wall.
“Was this a …… house?”
“Hmmm, maybe it was a protective wall surrounding the village?”
“In any case, maybe Shelly was right and there was a village there.”
As I examine the battered brick wall with Ellie.
“Big brother. They’re here too.”
Nina found a similar wall.
Shortly thereafter.
“Mr. Alex! There’s something ……!”
Lydia called and as I hurried toward it, I noticed a large person walking in my line of sight.
Looking at the figure, I wondered for a moment if a descendant of the black-haired people had survived, but the face illuminated by the lights was that of a green pig.
“Be careful, everyone! It’s an orc!”
If it were an ordinary orc, it would be no big deal, but this is demon territory.
They may not have the same strength.
And speaking of Orcs, they are known as the natural enemy of women, as they will try to procreate with any race, including humans.
I must protect the four of them.
“For it to be an Orc, this is the worst! [Ice Javelin].”
“[Spear of the Earth].”
“[Middle Flame]!”
Starting with Ellie’s magic, Lydia and Monica continued to attack with magic.
Fortunately, they were not special Orcs, but Orcs were pouring out from the back of the room.
There are so many!
We wondered how many orcs there were, and there was no end to the number of orcs we had to kill, so Monica, Nina, and I started to kill all the orcs that came close to us.
“Alex. Can we break the remains of the village a little?”
“You’re right, please. Monica, Nina. We’re going to step back a little bit.”
They stepped back at my signal…
“[Blizzard]!”
Ellie’s ranged magic freezes the orcs.
“Thank you, Ellie. I’m sure they won’t show up again …… will they?”
“I think we’re safe in this area? Alex, can you share your magic with me just in case?”
I shared my magic with Ellie, who used a lot of magic, and Lydia and Monica came up to me because they had also used magic.
I was just about to share my magic with them, when for some reason Nina took my hand.
“Nina doesn’t want to be left out!”
She was a little sulky about it, because I didn’t have to share my magic with Nina, since she wasn’t using magic.
Well, I’m sure she’ll be fine, since she seemed satisfied when I patted her on the head while holding her hand.
“For now, let’s bring back the orc meat and come back to investigate again.”
I took the meat that seemed good and frozen out of the orc that I had slain and went back along the path of light moss that Nina had made, and we returned to Shelly’s shrine.
For a moment, I wondered if the surviving orcs would follow this path of light moss and come to the shrine, but after getting some distance closer, no monsters of any kind appeared, so perhaps Shelly’s power had something to do with the warding.
“Oh, there she is. Hey, Shelly. Take us to the surface …… Shelly?”
“Mm …… Alex …… which means you’ve got the boob armor with you, right?”
“By boob armor, do you mean …… me?”
Monica asked me in confusion, but I’m not sure you should be asking that.
Well, only Monica and I are wearing armor in this group, and when it comes to boobs …… it’s inevitably Monica, but what am I talking about?
“…… I’m jealous. You and Alex must be milking each other with the deadly weapon in this armor, right? I too would love to feel human skin after all these years, Alex.”
“Um, Shaylee? What are you talking …… Wait a minute. Don’t you smell like a lot of booze?”
“Alex …… would you like to milk me, too? I don’t have big tits like this one, but they’re good, you know?”
Shelly came up to me and hugged me …… wait, where are you trying to put your hands!
“Alex. The barrel we just gave her is empty!”
“Ahhh, already!? I know it’s small, but it’s still a barrel.”
“Fufufu …… I had drunk too much of it because it was so rare to find grape wine. But, Alex. Next time, please give me some rice wine. This is fine, but it should be rice wine! Wine made from the best parts of the rice is the best wine.”
“Rice wine? I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
Now that I look closely, I can see that Shelly’s face has turned bright red.
If it goes this far, I may not be able to heal it with my medium level of recovery magic.
I used healing magic with that thought in mind…
“[refresh] …… Eh? It doesn’t activate?”
“Fufufun …… Alex. Even though I’m getting comfortable, that quite cold of you. Come on Alex, let’s feel better together!”
For some reason, I couldn’t use my healing magic, and Shelly rubbed her face against me.
“Master! I’m in charge of that!”
“Ms. Monica, what are you doing, joining her like that! Ms. Shelly, get away from him!”
“Shouldn’t we take advantage of this, Miss Ellie?”
Monica was kneeling in front of me, saying things I didn’t understand…
“No!”
“Mm? Ellie, you’re not joining us?”
“I won’t!”
Ellie pulls me along with Shelly.
No, Shelly and Monica, seriously, what are you doing!
“…… What were you two doing hugging Big brother?”
“Fufu. This is the ancient tradition of men and women ……”
“Don’t tell Nina anything weird!”
At any rate, I decided to stay away from Shelly for a while after I gave her alcohol.
