Living in this World with Cut & Paste

Chapter 22-24

The day after I was expelled from the adventurer’s guild, searching for orcs, I came to the forest behind the town.

It is to earn income, but I also thought that there might be those who have all kinds of names like the goblins.

The battle with Lyle was a good lesson.
Though I was taken by surprise, it proved that one can win against a stronger opponent even if one only use useful Skills.

I’ve reached the conclusion that to keep on living after this, as expected it would be best to have as many Skills as I can.
As such, here’s a feel of my Skills.

It’s going to be my first time fighting with orcs since I obtained 【Tenfold Experience Acquisition】, I’m very looking forward to this.

While thinking that, I located medicinal plants, and while defeating gathering sheep, I proceeded deeper and deeper than usual.

The trees then disappeared before I reached a steep slope, my view improved and I discovered the place.

The view spread before my eyes was…….

「My goodness……, an orc settlement in such a place……」

What I came across was an orc settlement.
Just, how many are there……?

Rather, I should have realised such a possibility earlier.
In the first place, there wasn’t much talks about orcs being in the forest in the past.
But, when I defeated orcs previously, I had lightly thought that they had probably accidentally lost their way.

My first battle, my first victory, the delight from such things had covered up the doubting feeling of “Something’s not right”.

Because the orcs have settled down here and built a settlement, that’s why I came across orcs at such a place.

It’s no use, this…… isn’t possible by myself.
No matter how I think about this, this is a case to be reported to the guild!

While deciding to retreat in my heart, I scouted out the village by using 【Sight Enhancement・Moderate】.

「Briefly looking there’s around 40 of them huh…… hm?」

As I roughly counted, I noticed for some reason a human figure in the middle of the settlement.

「Dokun!」, throbbed my heart greatly.

T, that’s…… a human female!

A human female in an orc settlement…… what it means naturally, even I know.

Not good, I don’t have time! Even if I go the guild now she won’t be saved…… I…… I can only do this.

I made my resolve.
Since I have decided I have to act quickly! I frantically searched for those guys who left the flock.

I found them! Though three of them are gathered together but if it’s three, then I’ll somehow manage!

The orcs with different names, as expected they exist! Furthermore there’s even one with high orc!!
As expected, they all have useful looking Skills.

If it’s like this I might be able to do it.

I immediately plundered all their Skills, used self-enhancement which can only be casted on myself and held a dagger in each hand.
It’s all thanks to the 【Twin Blades・Extreme】 I plundered.

I used 【Presence Erase・Moderate】 at the back and approached them in one go, and aimed at the troublesome looking high orc’s heart and stabbed.
I then slashed at it diagonally from the shoulder, after that, I aimed at the windpipe of the assassin beside it and stabbed at it.

I didn’t seem to have instantly killed it, but because it is a fatal wound, it feebly fell to its knees.

The warrior who finally realised that they were ambushed swung a stone axe of about my height downward.

However, that’s too bad! Too slow!!!!!

Before the axe came falling towards me, I used 【Presence Erase・Moderate】 a second time and went behind it.
I then thrusted the dagger on my right hand towards its heart, and the one on my left towards its nape.

I then let go of my daggers, and drove a punch towards the assassin’s solar plexus, who still had a breath left, with all my strength.

The time for all this is about 40 seconds.
There doesn’t seem to be any sign of being noticed from the surroundings.

Confirming that all three of them have died, while casting 【Magic・Small Recovery】 on my crushed fist, I put the orcs’ corpses into my Storage Bag.
Because if they discover the corpses, the remaining bunch will naturally make an uproar, so thought I.

I am really grateful to the alchemist onii-san.

Using 【Magic・Small Recovery】 once more, I hid under a cover.

At the moment I killed the high orc, when I realised my body had suddenly became lighter.
I had probably leveled up.

If I go at it like this I might somehow be able to manage.

While thinking such things, when I probed the situation I discovered a herd of five.
There doesn’t seem to be any other individuals in the surroundings.

Convenient that the five are gathered together, since the sight is bad from the surroundings I decided to use the 【AoE Magic・Fire Maximum】 which I had plundered earlier.

Before that……

I plundered all of their Skills, and pasted the unnecessary Skills and Abilities onto the ground.
I then used self enhancements, and threw 【AoE Magic・Fire Maximum】 into the middle of the gathering orcs.

While a terrifyingly thunderous roar spread, the flame magic impacted.
The orcs raged within the burning flames.

Aiming at the raging orcs, I fired the 【AoE Magic・Wind Maximum】 I had plundered.

Probably because of receiving the wind, the flames which were engulfing the orcs had grown larger, and the edge of the remaining wind chopped up the orcs.

When the flames had become smaller, the remainders were the corpses of the five orcs who were burnt to death.

After I used 【Fire Attribute・Resistance】, I quickly put the orcs’ corpses into my Storage Bag, used 【Presence Erase・Moderate】, and left the scene.

「This might be bad…… as expected, they seem to have realised huh」

For now, with this, I’ve defeated eight orcs.
There’s probably around 30 left.

……Now then, from now on is the critical moment.
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
「Guild leader~, was it really okay?」

The receptionist Mary started a conversation with the leader listlessly.

「……What is?」

「Even though you understand~, I’m talking about the exclusive rookie-san Aisha-san’s in charge of you know~, I understand the reason, but from the guild’s essence, isn’t it bad~?」

Glancing over to me, Mary criticised the guild leader.

That’s true, if we think from the perspective of guild leader prioritising professional duties, you can say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with how he dealt with it this time.
But if we’re thinking of it as a “Guild”, the situation changes a little.

In the first place, the reason for prohibiting guild members killing each other is so that the guild’s war potential doesn’t drop.
It’s a rule with an uninteresting reason so that the precious human resources aren’t lost.

From the point of view of the guild’s nature, no matter what strong war potential must be possessed.
They want promising rookies to the point of desperation.

A rookie who can defeat a person who places top among C-rankers, properly speaking, he is a talent who will be warmly welcomed.

Personally firing such a talent.

That was what Mary had said to the guild leader.

「It’s something I’ve decided, don’t complain!」

After a night has passed, the guild leader who has probably cooled off a little, even he understands who Mary wanted to say.
Therefore, he returned a reply containing irrepressible anger to Mary.

While seeing such a situation within the guild, my feeling has not completely cleared up.
Inside my head, were the various expressions Myne-kun had showed last night.

Starting with “astonishment”, to “delight” “bewilderment” “determination” and ending with “gratitude”

Even he probably had things he had wanted to say.
No, it’s impossible he doesn’t.

……But, at the end the smile he had shown, only a genuine gratitude can be felt from it.

As expected, I should have opposed more strongly then.
When I was crushed from regret……, yes, it was at such a time.

When she appeared! At that time, the encounter between her and I, it was unexpected that that had greatly changed the fates of Myne-kun and me myself.

「Sorry, I heard that a young man named Myne is in this guild……」

Though the person’s face couldn’t be seen because the mantle had a hood attached. she seems to be a woman.

「Myne was erased from the guild’s register yesterday but…… is it a designated request? There are other excellent people in this guild, you know」

The receptionist lady・Mil replied to the question of the woman.

「No, sorry but it isn’t a request. I have a personal business with him…… however, does the register erasure mean it’s not calm? Did he cause a problem?」

Probably from hearing her questioned like that, immediately after Mil received the retort, precisely because of that, I knew that guild leader had frowned.(TLC:そう問われたのが聞こえたのだろう、ミルに突っ込みを受けていた直後だっただけにギルド長が顔を顰めたのが分かった。)

If it’s business with Myne-kun, I who was his exclusive should probably deal with this.

「No, it’s nothing like that you know, well, there is of course a reason for that, but since the guild’s matter, it would be hard to give you an answer……」

「I see. Then it can’t be helped huh…… by the way, you who just replied to me, won’t you come here for a sec?」

As I walked closer to her side, though thinking Why me?, she muttered 「By the way, Aisha, long time no see」 in a low voice.

Due to my name suddenly called out, as I reflexively focused on her face which was concealed under her hood……

「……Y, Your Highness Sylphid…… Why, are you here……」

The person is the Augusta Kingdom’s First Princess, “Princess Knight” Sylphid・Augusta.

「Fufu, sorry but I’m going incognito, so can you keep silent about my identity?」

When I was still an adventurer, there were surely times when we had met through requests from the royal family.
However, to even remember my name…….

「Because of that, Aisha. I want to meet that young man Myne but where can I meet him?」

「Just like that girl from before said, he has been erased from the guild, honestly where he is right now is……」

Though I’m baffled by the sudden appearance of royalty, I suddenly thought of a question.

I wonder why the Hime-sama is searching for Myne-kun?
……Rather than that, I wonder why she knows about him?

Royalty calling a commoner’s name and coming to visit him is honestly abnormal.

「Hmm, since he has registered in the guild once, that means you know where he’s staying right? Won’t you tell me where it is?」

「P, please wait a moment! Since I’ll be guiding you…… Would it be okay for me to tell the guild leader?」 (TLN: Aisha speaks in humble form)

「Oh? I’m grateful if you can guide me, but it seems that you need to obtain approval even though you’re slipping out, huh. If it’s with the guild leader…… well that’s okay I guess」

Receiving approval from Hime-sama, I hurriedly ran to where guild leader is.
Probably because my hurried appearance was amusing, Hime-sama giggled.

When I told guild leader about Hime-sama, he noticeably panicked, and I hurriedly stopped him from going to Hime-sama and waiting upon her.

「Hime-sama is going incognito, please don’t do anything that will expose her!」

Receiving permission to go out from the confused guild leader, thinking for Hime-sama’s safety, continuing from last night, I quickly put on my arms and went to Hime-sama.

「What, to put on arms……if it’s a guard then I don’t need any you know? You know my ability right?」

Hime-sama is surely strong.

A knight to the point of having “Princess Knight” as a nickname. Naturally I know that she is even stronger than me.
However, even so, being a guard is another story.

In the first place, in the worst case that something happened to Hime-sama, I cannot even imagine what kind of rebuke the country will give.

「……No, it would be a serious matter if anything happened to Hime-sama. Please let me follow you like this」

Hime-sama probably understood, as she shrugged her shoulders and walked towards the guild’s exit.

On the way to Myne-kun’s house, Hime-sama once again asked me the reason for Myne-kun’s guild erasure.

Though it is a matter within the guild, if royalty asks, there’s no choice but to answer.
I talked about the incidents that have happened since Myne-kun first came to the guild until yesterday.

「Hmph…… As expected, there’s no doubt that he has a special secret, huh. It’s impossible for him to win against a C-rank adventurer with the Skills he has been bestowed with after all」

「Eh!? Hime-sama knows!? About his Skills!!」

Surprised, I accidentally raised my voice.

Far from blaming me, a smile surfaced as she answered me.

「Of course, even you know right? That the royal family receives reports about the Skills bestowed upon the new adults by the temple」

……Now that she said it, because of a certain reason it is necessary for royalty to know about the new adults’ Skills.

「Haa!? Don’t tell me, Hime-sama’s aim is!!!?」

「Fufufu, good guess. The reason’s probably as you say, but it’s useless telling others you know? Since it’ll become an uproar」

I see, that’s why she came to see Myne-kun! Surely if such a thing were to come to light there will be an uproar in the world.
Hime-sama is fearlessly smiling, but if that were to be implemented…….

「Don’t be that confused, I’ve only come to see this to the end. Also Aisha did you know, that guy seems to be able to hunt orcs solo」

Soloing orcs!? If that is true…… then I can understand him defeating Lyle.
What in the world are his Skills…….

Probably knowing my question, Hime-sama continued.

「You seem to be curious huh, about his Skills. Since he wants to hide it, I can’t possibly say it. It’s a secret for “now”」
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
Mm mm mm, I was surrounded while I was stealing their skills huh・・・.
Eei, since I’ve got nothing to lose I’ll hit them with 【Support Magic・Sleep】.

Miraculously it wasn’t resisted, and the orc in front of me fell asleep in a moment.
While cutting the abdomen of the sleeping orc open with my dagger, I cut across its side.

I who had just broke through the enclosure faced my back and fired another 【AoE Magic・Fire Maximum】!

The explosive flame rolled up in the middle of the rocs, and in a blink of an eye, the group of orcs huddled together had been burnt up.

I already stole all their Skills.
I had absolutely no hesitation in exterminating them.

Using 【Presence Erase・Moderate】, I left the place which was rolling in flames and temporarily took shelter.

「Phew, I somehow escaped……」
The orcs nearby had noticed the thunderous roar when I first fired 【AoE Magic・Fire Maximum】.
I immediately started moving to escape, but an orc suddenly appeared on my way out and blocked my escape route.

I stole its skill, and at the place I defeated it I realised a large quantity of orcs was approaching me from behind.

For the time being I did not check what kind of Skills they had, continuously plundered, and the conclusion was 【Support Magic・Sleep】 just now at the place I was surrounded.

I wonder if I had just defeated more than 10 orcs?
If I add the ones I had defeated at first there are probably around 10 orcs left.

Though my exhaustion is quite extreme, if I slip in a little rest, I have a feeling I will somehow manage.

Somehow, Skills I don’t quite understand have multiplied.

For now, the one I’ll immediately use is…… 【Presence Detect・Moderate】, seems like I can use this right now.

Hmm, the detection range does not seem to be wider than I thought.
There are three large presences about 500m to the north, and there is one large presence and two just a little big presence in the vicinity.

First I will defeat the one near me, since if I take too long the woman who was caught will be in danger.
Since it’ll take a considerable amount of time, I am terribly worried but…….

While thinking such, I checked the situation in the direction of the nearby presences using 【Sight Enhancement・Moderate】.

……Eh? Orc・General……really?

“Orc・General”

It’s an S-rank monster which can only be subjugated by several tens of high-rank adventurers, knights and the like.

And a general being here is proof that the higher existence “Orc・King” is also here.
They are called the king’s bodyguards, since they will appear beside the king without fail.

Thinking about the size of the nearby general, there is a high chance that the large presences to the north I had checked just now using 【Presence Detect・Moderate】 are probably three Orc・Generals.

However, if it’s a general, if I organise my level and Skills, I think I will be able to defeat them some way or another.

The problem is the Orc・King.
As expected I have no choice but to question if I can defeat it.

If a general is an S-class then a king is a calamity-class existence.

It’s to the extent that gathering the strongest class adventurers, knights and the like from all over the country, it’s impossible to defeat it if they don’t tackle it with a war of attrition with hundreds of people.
The king being here, I regret my naive perspective.

However, I do not have the choice to leave the captured woman alone and escape.

After all, I’ve act violently until here.
There’s no doubt that for the sake of hunting me the king has started mobilising.

……At any rate I’ll defeat as much as I can for now, and concentrate on raising my own strength.
Because it’s the only chance for she who was captured and me to survive.

Deciding as such, I will quickly get rid of the three orcs in front of me and turn them into a stepping stone for me to become stronger.
The longer I take, there’s no doubt that the probability of me supplemented by the King will increases. (TLN: I have no idea.)

As usual I hurriedly stole their Skills, and cast as much self-enhancement Skills as I can.

From the battles until now, I know that I can defeat until high orcs if I fire 【AoE Magic・Fire Maximum】 with all my strength.

\If so, there’s only one thing to do.
Though I don’t know if I can defeat the general with this, even if it isn’t defeated I will probably be able to deal quite the damage.

After the damage has been dealt using magic, I will hunt it with all my strength.

I who decided as such, chose the timing when the three orcs are gathered together, and ensuring the timing in one moment, I released magic at full strength.

『Zugagagaーーn!』

A thunderous roar even louder than from before resounded, while swallowing up the surrounding buildings, it directly hit the orcs.
As I had planned, the two orcs let out a scream and crumbled down to the ground.

Then, this is the bad part of what I had planned, the general, injured with large burns all over its body, let out a war cry and charged towards me.

Without panicking at its momentum, as I hit it with 【Support Magic・Speed Reduction】, the general’s movements became noticeably slower.
Probably because my level and my Skill’s level had increased, the accuracy rose.

Not passing up the moment its movements had dulled, I went around to its back using 【Presence Erase・Moderate】, I loaded all my strength and slashed at its back.

As expected from a general, even though I was using a steel dagger, I wasn’t able to cut it smoothly.
『Ugaaaaaaaaaa!!!』
Maybe because of pain or anger, it let out an even fiercer roar, I snuck into the bosom of the general who was swinging its arms violently, and I struck it using the dagger martial arts, 「Shark Glow」.

With the Skills 【Strong Arm・Extreme】 + 【Arm Strength・Extreme】 which I had just took from it attached onto the martial arts, its power became absurd, and the general was literally cut up right in half.

「Phew, I did it……」

Confirming that its life had stopped, I quickly stored the general which has become a corpse.

Opposite to the direction of the opponents, the generals who are coming from the north, in other words, I escaped towards the south.

However, in a hurry, it was unwise of me not to use 【Presence Erase・Moderate】 and【Presence Detect・Moderate】.

I clashed with a group of three ordinary orcs and one high orc.

This, this situation is quite bad!!

The three to the north which I consider as Orc・Generals are coming here right now.
If this goes on I will be pincer attacked.

In that one moment I was agitated, there was one who could use magic among the high orcs.

What the high orc had fired, was probably 【AoE Magic・Fire Maximum】

Though I flusteredly used 【Fire Attribute・Resistance】,I received a direct hit.

「Guuu」

At the excess heat and pain, I unintentionally let out a groan.
Blood then gushed out from my whole body, I involuntarily staggered and fell to my knees.

The blood flowing out from my forehead stole the sight from my lef eye.

If the 【Fire Attribute・Resistance】 I had casted just now did not reduced, perhaps I would have died.

The orcs who saw me falling to my knees, disgustingly gossiped, a smile… yes, it was probably a smile that surfaced, it raised the stone axe it was holding high up, and put an end to me.
No, I’ll be done in!!!
「Myne-kun!!!!! Don’t give up!!!!!!!」
At the same time the voice reached my ears, three white paths passed above my head.
The three white paths directly hit the orcs who had just wanted to end me.

Unable to completely receive the impact, the orcs stumbled a few steps back.

As I looked at the direction of the voice…… there stood Aisha-san who I was indebted to in the guild, with a dignified posture with a bow.

When I noticed that I looked back, I saw that she had started nocking the next arrow in order to pursue the orcs.

Then, it seems that there was a female knight who I have never seen before behind Aisha-san.

Why? Why is Aisha-san here?
Who, is that female knight?

Ah, it’s no use, Aisha-san…… there’s an Orc・King here.
Don’t worry about me, quickly run!

This place is a hopeless battlefront, if a beautiful person like Aisha-san is here…… they’ll aim at her first.
Aisha-san being sexually assaulted by orcs, definitely…… I will definitely not accept that!!!!

「Aisha-san, it’s no use, run!!」

I shouted towards Aisha-san from the bottom of my heart.

However, probably she heard it, or probably she didn’t hear it, Aisha-san continued shooting.

One shot, two shots, three shots…….
The arrows who were continuously fired by Aisha-san flew towards the orcs with unparalleled accuracy.

As expected of a former B-rank adventurer, it seemed to have accurately delivered damage to the orcs.
Even though high orcs aren’t like orcs, damage was reliably delievered.

There’s no choice but to quickly defeat this guys to let Aisha-san-tachi escape.
Get a hold of yourself! Myne!!

Collecting my thoughts, I quickly plundered their Skills, and casted 【Support Magic・Gradual Restoration Large (Stamina)】 on myself.
I was still staggering a little, but I firmly stood up, and grasped my daggers on both hands.

I overlapped 【Leg Enhancement・Small】【Swift Feet (Small)】【Body Enhancement・Small】【Body Enhancement・Large】, and closed in on the orcs in one go.

Differnet from the situation when I had bumped into them just now, since I properly casted enhancements, if I’m not careless then I can defeat them without problems.
Then as expected, the four orcs quickly cut down towards me.

However, I still cannot be careless.
Since the Orc・Generals who are approaching from the north will immediately be here.

Confirming that I’ve defeated them, Aisha-san and the knight-san beside her ran towards me.

「Myne-kun! Are you alright!? Wait a while, I’ll immediately heal you!!」

「I’m alright, I can do that myself…… Leaving that aside, the two of you please quickly run away from here. Three Orc・Generals will soon come here」

Hearing about Orc・Generals, the female knight-san beside her rose an even louder voice in surprise than Aisha-san.

「W, wait!? Did you say Orc・General? Why’s an S-rank monster in such a place!?」

「I don’t know the reason, and I don’t have time to think, quickly run away!! Besides the thing about the generals being here……」

I pointed towards the opposite direction of the generals coming here, and urged them to run.

「An Orc・General being here…… I see!? That also means there’s an Orc・King here!!!?」

At the moment the female knight shouted, even though they are not their aim, a roar which seemed like it reverberated through the whole orc settlement could be heard.
「Ugaooooooooooo!!!!!!!」
……There’s no doubt, it’s them.

A response suddenly appeared in my 【Presence Detect・Moderate】

Compared to the generals, it was a tremendously larger presence…….
No doubt, it’s an Orc・King.

Finally it’s existence was exposed, no matter what it takes I have to defeat the three generals before it appears here.

「The both of you hurry up…… quickly run away from here! Quickly!!!!」

However, my earnest complaint was……not…in time…… it was too late…….
Why, Why is……!!
「Why is the “King” here first!!! Damn it!!!!」
