āYou helped me there. I appreciate it.ā Bash said to the Messenger of Peace as they passed through the checkpoint. If he hadnāt come, it would have rained blood in that place. Of course, entering the country at that point would already be a dream. On the contrary, in the worst case scenario, another war could have broken out.
āBut thatās all right! Since I am Errol, the messenger of peace⦠no⦠of Love and Peace!ā
āErrol, Messenger of Love and Peace,ā he said, and sounded his stringed instrument. The sound seemed somewhat similar to the moaning heard when an orc warlord r̲a̲pe̲d̲ a woman in his hut. Bash knew nothing about music, but it sounded like hope. The kind that made him want to make someone moan like that in the future, hopefully.
āAnd you should comeā¦ā
āWhat?ā
āNo, itās nothing! Ahahahaha!ā Errol suddenly burst out laughing and trotted off. āSee you soon!ā
āYes! Iāll pay this debt sooner or later!ā
āHaha, Iām counting on you, Bash, the Orc Hero!ā
Errol laughed and ran down the road that led to the village. His destination was the same as Bashās. If that was the case, there would be another chance to see him again.
āHe was quite a talkative fellow, wasnāt he?ā
āYes, he was.ā
Errol would probably find it curious to say the least that it was Zell who said so, but Bash agreed. He was the kind of guy he hadnāt seen much of in his travels so far. But then Bash suddenly showed a thoughtful expression. A look that orcs didnāt usually show, as if he was searching the depths of his memories.
āHm? Mister, is something bothering you?ā
āI feel like Iāve seen that man somewhere before.ā
āMaybe you met him on the battlefield?ā
His movements were precise, which was hard to imagine from his frivolous demeanor. At first glance, he appeared to be full of openings, but Bash and Zell discovered that he didnāt actually leave any. It was obvious that he was a warriorā¦a man of some renown. But they didnāt recognize the name Errol, his title āMessenger of Love and Peaceā, or the mask he wore. Not to mention the stringed instrument.
āThis time weāre going to do everything we can to find you a wife!ā
āYes, thatās right!ā
If they didnāt know, then they didnāt know. Bash and Zell were the type of people who didnāt care about the details.
Instead, they were excited to get to the Beastmen Nation.
