Ch.37The World Changed by an NPC. (2)

The first thought that came to mind was, “Is the coachman drunk?”

And then.

“Urgh?! I-Ira!! Ira!!!”

[You’re safe. No injuries. No threat to life. No HP consumed.]

My head, which had felt a sensation it should never feel, was spinning faster than usual, making my body shout on its own, and Gor’s response appeared before me as if hurriedly answering.

Considering how urgent it was earlier that Gor spoke informally to me for the first time in my life, he must have protected Ira faster than anyone else.

Nice fine play!!

“What about Rey and Ragni…?”

“Ugh, my head… I’m fine.”

“Ow… What on earth happened? Did the carriage overturn? And what’s this sticky stuff?”

If those two women were in such a state in an ordinary situation, I’d want to call them out for being too provocative and slap an R-rating on it—that’s how they looked as they groaned and spoke.

What is that? It looks like something Gor sprayed with his hands earlier.

[It’s my body. The slime action I mentioned before—I expelled only the soft, sticky parts with the acidity removed for protection. I’m sorry. I noticed the enemy’s attack too late.]

“That’s Gor’s body, he says. The slime part. He did it to protect you.”

And Gor, don’t be sorry. Without you, we all would have been injured, and Ira might have been hurt too. You did well.

“Huh?!!♡? It’s sticky!? Mmph?! It’s p-penetrating!!♡”

“Ah, yes!!♡ This is sticking to my body too much. And it won’t come off?!!♥”

“Don’t move around so much, you two. You look ridiculous right now.”

I can see everything. I really can see everything. From underwear lines to certain sensitive parts—everything is visible.

And why are your voices becoming so seductive? Seriously, stop that.

Especially you, Ragni, don’t move any further. The area below the absolute territory is revealed… black. Ah, damn it. Thank you for the meal.

“Gor, what’s going on? What happened?”

[It’s a dark mage.]

[Demon Follower: Level 91]

[Currently in a standoff with the guards outside. The level 61 mage, who was the highest-level guard, has been taken down.]

“…Demon follower?”

“What?”

“What? Demon follower? Don’t tell me we’re under attack right now?!”

So, right now. The fact that Ira almost got hurt or killed wasn’t due to a natural disaster or someone’s mistake, but an attack by those damn demon-summoning cultist bastards?

…Heh, heh heh.

“Heh heh heh heh!!!”

“…Jack? What’s wrong?!”

“Jack? Why, why are you laughing?”

This bad luck is really something else.

Those guys were supposed to start moving in earnest after the tutorial ended; there was no reason to get involved with them here. But now we’re entangled with them? And they almost hurt Ira?

“…I’m going to kill those bastards.”

-Shiver!!

“…J-Jack?”

“Um, yes…? M-Master…? L-let’s calm down?”

Calm down? How? I don’t remember how to calm down.

“…Gor, release us.”

-Slurp!!

Gor absorbed the sticky liquid with his hand, and I looked at the three people and opened my mouth.

“Rey, Ragni. A demon follower has appeared outside. I’m going to kill them all. You stay here and protect Ira.”

“What, demon followers?! Why on earth would they be here?!!”

“W-wait a minute!! I’ll go out too…!!”

“Please. I have no one else to entrust Ira to.”

-Flinch!!!

Both of them hesitated at Jack’s suddenly changed demeanor. However.

“…Alright. I wouldn’t be much help out there anyway. But you have to come back safely, okay?”

“I understand. Leave Miss Ira to us.”

The two quickly noticed why his mood had changed and accepted his words.

Everyone except for one person, or rather, one being.

-Step.

“…What are you doing, Gor?”

[You must not go out.]

“…What?”

[It’s dangerous. They can change you, Master.]

“…Move aside. This isn’t a request. You protect Ira. That’s an order.”

[……]

Gor, who protected Ira more perfectly than anyone else. I didn’t want to force you like this, but I have no choice.

I’m angry right now, and I don’t want to expose Ira to danger.

[…Understood.]

-Step.

She obeyed my order and moved aside, and I headed outside the carriage…

[Just one thing, please be careful. Never, ever turn your back on them.]

“…What?”

I could only vaguely understand Gor’s sincere advice after hearing what those bastards were shouting outside.

What the hell are these guys doing?

“Kill the women and rape the men!! Capture them all for our demon’s summoning!!! Collect the women’s blood and the men’s semen!!!”

“Whoo!! Fuck!! I’ve been so stressed, let’s relieve it!!”

“Aaaaargh!! Y-you crazy bastards?!! You perverted lunatics!!! Aaaaargh!!!♥”

“W-women, run away!!! Female adventurers, all of you run!!! Don’t die!!! Kyaaah?!!♥”

…Seriously, what the actual fuck.

*

“Oh? I see a handsome man!!”

“That carriage!! He came out of that expensive carriage!! That man is mine!!!”

“Hey! Get out of my way. I’m taking him.”

“B-Branch leader!! Tch!! Leave some for me?!!”

The man who killed the strongest female mage among the caravan’s guards with a single blow. The man in the black robe approaches the gray-haired man, licking his lips.

“Hey, boy. Are you single?”

“…Fucking hell. What the hell is wrong with this world?”

The man who came out of the carriage, irritably scratching his head without even answering, closes the door behind him.

He walks forward, looking around. And then.

“Hey. Are you the branch leader? The head of these demon followers?”

“Haha. That’s right. I’m the leader of this group. You’ve got quite some nerve, don’t you?”

Despite people collapsing around him and men being forcibly stripped and about to be raped, the man merely frowns.

He seems to feel nothing but disbelief.

“…What the hell is going on here? You kill women and rape men?”

“Hehe. Yes, the demon we serve desires such things.”

“You guys were planning to attack Aigram, weren’t you?”

“…What?”

The branch leader’s expression suddenly changes at the man’s irritated question. How on earth does this man know that?

“…Who are you?”

“Fuck. I’m right, aren’t I? So, Invidia wants this kind of thing?”

“…You, whatever you are, you’re dangerous.”

The dark mage immediately changed his attitude. He had only been thinking about taking this handsome man right away, but the man spoke as if he knew something.

He even mentioned the name of the demon they served. Judging this to be strange, he immediately began gathering dark magic in his hands…

-Tap.

“Cut the crap. You’re just trash with tentacles and thorn patterns that spurt from the ground.”

“Huh?!”

-WHAM!!

“Gack?!!!”

In an instant, the gray-haired man closed the distance and mercilessly kicked the branch leader in the groin, sending him flying with an inhuman scream.

The sight was enough to make the other dark mages stop killing women and raping men.

“Sigh. What is this? I vaguely understood that this world was messing with me, but to be attacked by demon followers before the tutorial? And they’re ass bandits? Has the world truly gone mad?”

“B-Branch leader?”

“J-just now?! The branch leader’s precious thing…?!”

“The branch leader’s magnificent thing has been destroyed!!!”

“That bastard!! Kill him!! Rape him and kill him!!!”

“You!! If your precious thing isn’t big enough, you’d better be prepared!!!”

Seeing the dark mages charging at him while spouting insane words, the gray-haired man’s face contorted with genuine disgust, and finally, as if he couldn’t stand it anymore, he kicked off the ground and shouted.

“You’re the ones who should be prepared, you fucking bastards!! For the crime of almost hurting my sister!!! You’ll pay with your lives!!!”

On the road under the bright sky, perverted bastards and a caretaker clashed.

*

I pride myself on having regained memories of my past life in this world and having suffered countless misfortunes.

But this time, you’ve seriously crossed the line.

Yeah, I’m not some swordsman with a reverse-blade sword and an X-shaped scar, and I wasn’t living with a resolve to never kill, but if you come at me like this, I have no choice but to deal with you in kind.

-CRACK!!!

“13.”

“Hiiieek?!!”

It reminds me of a certain protagonist who only kills goblins.

What did he say was the reason he got so excited when killing goblins? I’m not sure.

“15.”

-THUD!!

“Aaaaargh?!!♥ M-my butt?!!♡”

“!!!@#$!♥%!@$!!!”

I grab the head of the guy who tried to jump me from behind and shove it into the asshole of the guy in front of me, turning them into a centaur, then break the neck of the guy who’s screaming and trying to pull the other guy out of his rectum.

Well, one of them will die smelling shit. Isn’t that the end he wanted?

What are these bastards anyway? Why are they carrying on Billy’s legacy?

No, I don’t really care.

A few more of them shoot black tentacles and thorns at me, but their patterns and movements are identical to the game.

I dodge them like flowing water, then break another guy’s wrist and shove it into the mouth of the guy next to him, then kick him in the groin, causing his mouth to close and spray blood nicely.

I don’t know if it’s blood from his own mouth or from the other guy’s severed wrist, but it doesn’t matter.

-SPLURT!!

I’m going to kill them all anyway.

After that, I burst the groins of the remaining guys, and instead of their beloved tentacles and thorns, I shove hands, heads, and stakes into their mouths and assholes before twisting their necks.

“20.”

-Thud.

The sight of these trash all dying with ecstatic expressions makes me nauseous.

If it weren’t for Gor, I might have had a moment of vulnerability from the sheer absurdity. The meaning of me changing…

Fuck. I understand now. Disgusting.

To think these ass bandits almost hurt Ira. Revolting.

I really hate this world.

Returning to the front of the carriage, I see the dark mage—the demon follower branch leader whose groin I kicked first, turning him into a eunuch—crawling on the ground trying to escape, and I step on his back and then.

-CRACK!!

“Gaaack?!!”

“You’re the last one. I have something I want to ask you. You’re the leader, right?”

I kick the man who can no longer use his lower body to turn him over, and he looks at me with fear.

Why? You came to kill people, but didn’t consider that you might die yourself? The others all died happily, though.

“W-what are you?!!”

“What am I? I’m a brother who’s fucking pissed because my sister almost got hurt, you ass bandit.”

“A-ass bandit…?! W-what did we do…?!!”

-THUD!!

“Gaaack?!!!”

“What did you do? Do I need to list everything you’ve done before I kill you? You chase people around, kill them, and summon demons? Isn’t that enough?”

Since he’s talking nonsense, I kick him in the groin once more, and despite his broken back, he still feels the pain, grabbing his thing as if he’s about to die.

I step on that hand.

-CRUNCH!!

“Aaaaargh?!! S-spare me!!! Why?! Why always there?!!”

“Now, answer. When is the attack on Aigram? Why did you attack this carriage?”

“……!!”

At my words, the guy opens his eyes wide, his pupils shaking as if wondering how I know this, but honestly, I don’t care.

Well, I guess this is the same as the game too. In games, when the protagonist or playable character asks these questions, they never answer even if they die, but.

“Fine, let’s see how long you can keep your mouth shut while I beat you.”

That’s in games, and game choices don’t include torture. But reality here is completely different. I opened my palm and slapped his cheek.

-SLAP!!

“Gack?!!”

“Answer.”

-SLAP!!!

“Answer.”

-SLAP!!!

“Answer.”

-SLAP!!!

How many seconds, how many minutes have passed with the sound of his cheeks tearing?

It seems their loyalty and faith toward their demon has a sincerity that doesn’t yield to violence.

To think he won’t talk even with his mouth torn and face smashed—truly impressive dedication for an ass bandit…

-Grab.

“Stop. That’s enough.”

“…Ragni, I told you to stay in the carriage.”

“No. Jack, you need to stop now. If you keep hitting him like this, he’ll just die.”

-Shing.

“Rey, you too…”

Rey draws her sword and points it at the man’s neck while looking at me.

And Ragni, grabbing my arm with her red eyes fixed on me—for some reason, both of them are stopping me, which only made me frown more deeply.
