The enemy was advancing, and so I wanted to head towards Demon King Tralzardâs lands immediately.\n
ââŚHoweverâŚâ
I was currently being hit by some undesired pressure.
Twenty Vampires had gathered in front of me.
Not only that, but they were soldiers who protected this town.
The town soldiersâŚaside from being Vampires who were high in rank, they were seen as guardians who had watched over the town for generations.
As for why they were pestering me nowâŚ
âHow can this savage Ogre be the leader!â
That really was the gist of their complaints.
âIâm sorry. But they demanded to see you, Golan.â (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Even General Farneze could not make them settle down.
Of course, the General was the most important person in this town.
That being said, not everything happened the way that she wanted.
For instance, ten of the Vampires that were to accompany me to Tralzardâs landsâŚ
I was told that the General had used rather forceful means when selecting them.
They were the sons and daughters of this townâs soldiers.
She wanted them to grow strong. That was the Generalâs wish.
And so this trial had been given to them.
After all, just because their parents were good soldiers, it did not mean that they would be great fighters as well.
But this wasnât because she was a very patient person either.
To be frank, they were considered to be the leftovers out of the Vampires.\n
Vagabonds, really.
Vampires who were unemployed or just helped around the house.
Shut-ins or Neets could work as well.
But thatâs the kind of Vampires they were.
Perhaps it was the result of being born as a âhigh-rankâ species, having great parents, and living in a safe town.
In spite of giving up easily, they had a lot of pride.
But the General wanted them to grow so that they could help protect the future of this town.
It was because she felt this way that she had chosen them, even though it meant using a little force.
However, it was their parents who were the first to object.
âGo to a different country? Outrageous!â
âMy child is strong enough. There is no need for training.â
âIn the first place, the very idea of being led by an Ogre is unheard of.â
Etcetera.
The General had made the decision without asking the people concerned, and so they had come here to complain.
As for me, I couldnât see why these parents thought they had a right to come here, when we were talking about fully grown adults.
I had stood and listened to them quietly, mostly for the Generalâs sake, but I was reaching my limit.
âBesides, Ogres are just walls of meat.â
âExactly. In fact, why donât we just bleed them all dry right now?â
âThose idiots arenât even worth turning into pig food.â
âIt will be such a hassle dealing with the carcasses.â
âWeâll be merciful to you if you just hang yourself and die.â \nThey werenât being very nice at all.
At first, my smile had been purely for the General, but after a while, I found myself smiling and laughing by my own will.
âI see. So you all have complaints regarding me and my kind.â
Big smile.
âOf course, we do. You foul Ogre!â
âWere you not listening to us? This is why I hate these idiot races.â
Still smiling.
These guys. They werenât just mocking me, but all of my men.
âEeee⌠Golan is laughing.â
âHe-hey⌠Letâs get out of here.â
The other Ogres began to tiptoe away as if thieves in the night.
How rude. They didnât have to run away. I wasnât going to hurt them.
âIâve made my decision. Letâs kill this Ogre and forget about this whole thing.â
âPerfect. In fact, letâs kill all of these stinking Ogres!â
âYes! Yes! Kill them all!â
Shocking. Not only were they mocking me, but they were now going to try and hurt my men.
These were supposed to be the guardians of the town. What a joke.
There were two who were especially bad. They came right up to my face and cursed loudly.
The General had been kind enough to tell me their names. The man was Eltar, and the woman was Finsally.
They were apparently a married couple.
\nâMy special move, the âEltar Crumble!ââ
I hit the enemy with Eltar over and over again. Of course, there was no need to hold back. I could hear exclamations of âStop!â and âAghh!â but I ignored them. Weapons did not talk.
ââGreat Finsally Tornado!ââ
I spun Finsally like a windmillâŚor the fins of a fan. Gon-gon-gon⌠I heard the sounds of impact. And every time, an enemy went flying into the air. What a good fan.
âEltar Block!â
âGive him back!â someone shouted as they charged towards me. And so I blocked them with my Eltar.
I heard a âGaah!â from somewhere, which was strange. Shields didnât talk.
âAnd the âFinsally Return!â
I slammed the Finsally into the enemy. He let out a satisfying âGblegh!â as he went flying away.
âAnd my most deadly move, âCoupleâs Last Coactionâ!â
I rotated both arms at the same time like wheels and trampled over the enemies in the area.
Perhaps my weapons were especially good, or maybe it was my spinning, but by the time I was done, there was not a single person left standing.
âNow the finisher. âCouple Masterâ!â
As if beating a drum, I slammed the enemies on the ground with my two weapons.
Hit and hit. It was hard to think that I could hit something more than I was hitting them now.
In fact, I was having so much fun doing this, that I probably shouted âHyaahh!â a few times.
It was just as I had lost track of timeâŚ
General Farneze was clawing at my waist and shouting, âPlease, just stop this already!â
As for the other OgresâŚthey were nowhere to be seen.
