Now, what is the level of self-defense in this world?

If you get attacked, attack? No.

Attacks will come from guns, knives, or blunt weapons, and even one hit from them can knock you down.

So the correct answer is to strike first if you see signs of an attack. It’s a surefire way to win.

…Well, I get hit first and then I fight back.

With my remaining hand, I tore the man’s clothes and stuffed them into his mouth. It was a makeshift gag.

I broke a few teeth before I started because I didn’t try to put it in my mouth obediently.

Then he opened his mouth wide. He should have done that a long time ago.

Do you think I don’t need to be questioned? Not really?

You can tell they’re the remnants of a robbery. They’re trying to take a child hostage, so that’s exactly what a robber would do.

I grabbed the robber’s knife and cut the tendons in his hands one by one.

Every time the robber resisted, he would punch him in the stomach. The difference in their sizes made it difficult to completely subdue him.

He stabbed my hand, he stabbed my arm, he stabbed my other hand, he stabbed my arm.

It’s revenge for what I stepped on earlier.

I’ve had enough fun, so let’s wrap it up now.

He held the robber’s head with his left hand to keep him from moving, then stabbed him in the side of his neck with the knife he was holding in his right hand.

If you stab me in the front, I’ll end up covered in blood. And I can’t be bothered to take a bath either.

Hmm. Blood is gushing out. The light in the robber’s eyes is fading away.

He raises his sword and cuts the area near the heart.

He takes out the heart and eats it the way he always did.

I think I really live for this taste. Once I taste it, I can’t stop.

I ate the heart, cut open the arm, and ate the meat inside. One heart wasn’t enough.

After finishing the meal, we started looking for food to feed the children.

There was a wide variety of food. Most of it was packed in boxes, with the type and product name written on the outside.

Oh, this must be canned peaches. I didn’t have any when I was little, so I couldn’t eat them.

I checked the expiration date and it was a little close. I guess I should take this one first.

After filling up my shopping cart, I went back to my room.

We launched a service for those who are still sleeping.

bang!

” Whoa! ”

” Ahh.. ”

Open the door forcefully when entering.

Well, I just opened the door slightly and kicked it with my foot.

” If you come in quietly, will it be okay? ”

The murderess, who seemed to have just woken up, muttered a complaint. I lightly ignored her.

” I brought you some food, so eat it. ”

” Oh, Bob. ”

The woman who killed me instantly disappeared after seeing the rice. It’s easy to understand in this part.

” Oh, thank you. ”

” Thank you, sis! ”

That kid is so energetic since morning.

” The sergeant also eats well. He has to eat to gain strength. ”

” Yes, I will not decline. ”

The murderess chose canned meat, canned vegetables, and canned peaches. It was a balanced choice.

The girl with the box chose a can of peaches and two cookies. Does she like to eat light?

The child also chose the same thing as the girl with the box. Oh, the types of snacks are different.

The sergeant chose two cans of meat and one can of vegetables. He must have a high metabolism.

I just sipped water while watching people choose what to eat.

” Huh? You don’t choose? ”

The box girl looked at me with a puzzled look.

” I already ate. ”

When he said that while rubbing his stomach, the girl in the box easily agreed.

The murderess looked at me like that and said with a dumbfounded expression.

” You came back eating human flesh again. ”

” Oh, did you notice? ”

” Okay. ”

The murderess shook her head and began to eat the canned food.

” ….Do you eat human flesh? ”

The sergeant approached me quietly and spoke to me.

” I only eat meat. Raw meat. Any meat is fine. ”

” I see… Since the world is like that these days, there are many people who eat without being picky. ”

Hmm? I think your speech has softened a bit.. Am I imagining this?

” … Okay, then eat some canned food. ”

” Do you have any spoons? ”

” What are you doing with your finger? ”

Eat as you please.

############

I suggested that we leave the logistics mart and go back to town after waiting for people to finish eating.

After hearing that, the sergeant made a suggestion.

” I see that there is a considerable amount of military supplies in the tent in the center outside. How about each of you bring a cart to carry the supplies? ”

” That’s a really good idea. Let’s do it right now. ”

We went down to the first floor, each of us packed our carts, and headed toward the tent.

I saw a forklift on the way and tried to start it, but it didn’t move. If it had moved, I could have loaded the military supplies onto the barrett, but I felt regretful.

Now everyone except the child has taken the cart.

The cart was small enough that the handle would come up to the child’s chest, but the supplies were all heavy.

If you load a few, it will easily exceed 30kg, so a child won’t be able to pull it.

We arrived at the tent and packed our supplies.

Ammunition, guns, grenades… Grenades? Scopes?

Oh my gosh? You have a sniper rifle too? Where on earth did you get these?

” It’s a K14. It’s a rare item… ”

The sergeant was amazed as he picked up the sniper rifle and loaded it onto his cart.

Hmm… I want it…

As I was loading various items, the cart started screaming. Oh, it seems it’s not that sturdy.

After each person loaded only as much weight as they could carry, they set off for the village.

It takes about 2 hours, but it’s not that far.

############

When we reached a point where we could see the village, we saw a gatekeeper stationed near the entrance.

The gatekeeper must have seen us too.

I walked towards the gatekeeper and spoke to him.

” The logistics mart has been processed. ”

“…What? ”

” Here, these are military supplies. It would be a good idea to arm yourself with these. ”

” ….Huh? ”

” Oh, those people are survivors. They were taken hostage by the robbers, but I rescued them. ”

” ………Huh? ”

Is this guy bugged? He’s been getting stiffer and stiffer since a while ago.

Oh, I should just pass this by and tell Grandpa.

” I’ll pass. ”

” Huh? Huh.. ”

We passed through and headed to my grandfather’s house. My grandfather was the head of this village, so he was like a command center.

It means that it is annoying to have to report over and over again if you leave it to the lower level to handle.

If you move quickly, you might not notice, but if you do it like that…

I looked back and said.

” First, I’ll go to the village chief’s house and report on the logistics mart. I also have to take care of military supplies. ”

” What happened after that? ”

” Don’t you have a place to return to or a place to stop by? Then decide what to do next. Farm, gather, or craft. ”

” You? ”

” I’m leaving. Not right now, but later. ”

” Hey, Sister, are you leaving? ”

” Yeah, I have to go to Yeoju for some business. ”

The child looked at me with sad eyes. The box girl and the murder girl were also looking at me with regretful eyes.

” I’m not leaving right now, so that’s what I’m saying. You can give me that look later. Leave it for now. ”

” ..Phew, really.. Judging from the way you talk, I can tell you’re around my age. ”

” That’s because I’ve been through a lot. ”

Even if I look young, there’s no reason for me to act accordingly. Even if I do, I’ll only use it when I feel sorry or when I’m trolling someone.

We set off again for Grandfather’s house.

############

” I’m back. Grandpa. ”

” Yeah. I guess you had a good trip…. I have a lot of questions, so let’s go inside. You guys come in too. ”

Grandpa let us inside.

We gathered in the middle of the living room and explained what had happened so far.

” That’s why it happened. ”

” …. So that’s how it happened.. ”

My grandfather’s expression was something that was hard to describe.

If the people around me hadn’t vouched for me, it might have just been a child’s imaginary adventure.

” Please strengthen the power of the village with the items you brought in the cart and give them to the outside explorers. Right now, all they have is a sword attached to a pole, an axe for chopping wood, and a hammer, right? ”

” Are you okay? These are things we worked hard to get. It’s good for our village, but… ”

” There aren’t many if I choose. There are a lot of military supplies. It will be easier to use the logistics mart if you have these. Since you haven’t caught all the robbers yet, use them for self-defense when you go to get supplies. ”

” Hehe.. I knew the little girl was strong, but I didn’t know she was this strong. What should we do to repay you? ”

” Hmm… Then please give me whatever I want at that time as much as possible. I won’t ask you to do anything too difficult, so don’t worry. ”

” Okay. I’ll listen as much as I can. ”

After my grandfather finished talking to me, he looked at the box girl, the murder girl, and the child and began to speak.

” Jaha, Seohee, Tiri. I owe you an apology. I am truly sorry. We chose to protect the villagers over saving you. Tiri’s parents objected, but we could not make any more sacrifices. As the little girl said, we had no proper weapons. No one knew how to make bows or crossbows. ”

It seems that the girl who kills is Jaha, the girl who kills is Seohee, and the child is Tiri.

” Mom, Dad… Are you home…? ”

” You must be here by now. ”

” I’ll go and see! ”

” Hey! Come with me for a minute! ”

Tiri ran out and Jaha followed her. It seemed like she was concerned about the child going out alone.

The remaining murderess… no, Seo-hee began to speak.

” Chief, I don’t really care. Rationally speaking. ”

” Rational..? ”

” Yes. The emotional part of me says I don’t want to talk to the person who abandoned me and I want to leave right away. ”

” I’m sorry.. ”

” Don’t worry about it. ”

Wow.. So this is what it means to swear with a smiling face.

” But is that young man a colleague of the little girl? ”

” Hmm, if you’re talking about colleagues, then colleagues… companions? That’s what it is. A scout who sneaked in after hearing gunshots in the mart? That’s what it is. ”

” Is that so? Well, if that’s what the little girl says, then that’s what it is.. ”

” You’re treating me poorly.. ”

The sergeant was sullen, but it was none of my business.

” Once again, I would like to thank you for your efforts in rescuing the hostages, securing supplies, and reinforcing our forces. Thanks to you, the village has had a lot less to worry about. ”

” Then please take care of me until I leave. ”

” Little miss… Are you leaving..? ”

” I’m planning to leave in a few days. Um… um… I think I said that last time too… ”

” Maybe it’s because of my age, but I can’t remember clearly.. ”

” Oh, that’s what I’m talking about. ”

Seohee raised her hand and said.

” Can I come with you? ”

” ..Huh? ”

What is this guy thinking..?
