The woman in front of me looked like she was going to break my head at any moment.

Judging from the fact that it had leaped a huge distance in one go, it was clear that it would have been shattered like a ketchup can with just one hit without needing to be touched multiple times.

“Okay··· Wait a minute! ”

The survival instinct was much faster than squeezing my brain.

She looked somewhat surprised that her urgent shout had any effect.

“Orc···speaking?”

“There are circumstances here.”

In order to survive now, I had to tell even the most outrageous lies.

Because here, whether I live or die depended on her decision.

“Hmm···”

She looked me up and down with eyes full of complicated emotions.

Her face was filled with distrust, as she had been caught pretending to be a normal orc.

“I’ll listen first, so go ahead and talk.”

Her speech was harsh and overbearing.

But as someone who is thoroughly underdog, I had to accept that much.

Of course, I have nothing to say since I was caught looking at her naked body.

“I guess it’s strange that there are few orcs like me who can speak, so I kept quiet because I didn’t know I might be sold!”

The lie told with all one’s might was surprisingly effective.

She muttered quietly with a pensive look on her face.

“Sure··· That makes sense, but··· ”

In a way, it was fate that he looked like an orc.

Even if an ordinary person said something like that, no one would believe him.

An orc who could speak properly was nearly impossible.

At least for her, the parrot was able to speak perfectly.

But her alertness was only slightly lowered, and she was still firing at me.

“For something like that, it seems like you were staring at me quite openly?”

It’s cold.

The gaze that seemed to make my blood run cold gave me chills for a moment.

No matter what you said here, it would inevitably be revealed as a lie.

It was better to be moderately honest than to lie and get accused of treason.

“That’s… Since I’m an orc, I apologize if you felt offended.”

When I spoke as politely as possible, her demeanor softened significantly.

At least it didn’t seem like it would take my life right away.

She looked at me intently and then made an expression as if she had just remembered something.

“Come to think of it··· This should be enough.”

“What is that?”

A sudden feeling of anxiety.

I had a feeling something was wrong, but I couldn’t bring myself to stop her.

“That’s good, I needed someone as intelligent as you. From now on, you’ll work under me.”

Her remarks were beyond imagination.

Suddenly, you’re told to work for yourself.

“You wouldn’t refuse, would you?”

It was an obvious threat.

She made a gesture as if she was going to smash my head in if I refused.

But this may actually be an opportunity.

This opens up the possibility of attempting negotiations with an intelligent orc rather than a simple mob.

Because I’m probably the only orc in this world who can think and act like a human.

If we’re talking about rarity, it was her who was the one who was disappointed.

“That might be a bit difficult.”

“Wow··· ”

Her gaze changes to that of an insolent beast.

My legs instinctively trembled, but what was needed here was guts.

“Because if I disappear, the person I live with will worry.”

“Orcs cohabitating with other people?”

“Yes. To be exact, she is a high elf woman.”

“High Elf··· I’ve definitely heard reports that they live in this forest···”

She looked quite troubled.

Even the most gifted high elves are no match for the legendary dragons.

But her appearance seemed as if she did not want to be hostile to the high elves.

“That statement… is it true?”

“If you don’t believe me, you can follow me home.”

“It doesn’t sound like a lie.”

At least to her, it was clear that the high elves were formidable beings.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been worried this much.

With this, my safety was somewhat guaranteed.

Of course, if you drag me away right now, there’s nothing I can do, but Aisha will notice something’s wrong and come to save me.

“It’s not like you can’t deal with high elves··· but the damage will be great··· so what can you do?”

She had a look of resignation on her face.

But before I could even think about living, another thought suddenly occurred to me.

If you use this situation well, you may have an opportunity to hypnotize her.

As soon as I thought that, my lips moved on their own.

“It’s not that it’s impossible to help, but.”

Will anyone actually take this bait?

Her face, looking at me with anticipation, seemed interested.

“What does that mean?”

“If it’s a reasonable cooperative relationship, I think I can help you enough. I’d like to apologize for my rudeness.”

“Cooperation?”

She looked puzzled.

“If you get paid properly, there’s nothing you can’t do.”

“There is no such thing as money or treasure. Of course, they are of no value in this forest, and you, an orc, have little need for them.”

As she said, in this forest, money and treasure were nothing more than shiny trash.

At least if I were human I could write later, but it would probably be hard to find a merchant who deals with orcs.

Besides, what I wanted wasn’t money, it was her body.

“That’s right. So I will personally request the compensation, as long as it is not burdensome. If you don’t like it, you can refuse.”

In many ways, the conditions were overwhelmingly favorable to her.

Without knowing the special power called ‘hypnosis’.

So she had no reason to refuse.

“Hmm···”

She looked at me with an expression as if something was fishy.

But it was impossible to realize that it was a trap.

She thought deeply and soon nodded.

“Okay. If it’s to that extent···”

It’s a success.

I almost smiled at the thrill of accomplishment, but I could barely suppress it.

You just have to wait for an opportunity to hypnotize her carefully.

While I was thinking like that, an unexpected word came to my ear.

“I’ll need your help to strengthen the dungeon’s security.”

“If it’s a dungeon···”

There was only one dungeon in this forest. At least as far as I know.

If so, there was only one conclusion that could be reached.

She was the owner of the dungeon I was aiming for.

Maybe things got a little more complicated, but one thing was certain.

One more thing that has increased is the salary.

“That’s just the right timing. ”

An adventurous plan to conquer a dungeon?

That kind of thing has long since collapsed.

The plan now was to pretend to work for her while waiting for an opportunity.

“What went well?”

“I heard that there was a dungeon in the nearby cave, so I was worried that there might be a problem. If we cooperate, then there’s no need to worry.”

It was a lie made up on the spot, but she was easily fooled.

Originally, there was nothing more difficult to detect than a lie mixed with some truth.

“Well··· Well, then it doesn’t matter. But rather, since I’m done talking, turn around.”

She was still naked.

Although he didn’t show any signs of weakness, he looked quite anxious.

“Ah··· Since we have a cooperative relationship before, shouldn’t we at least know each other’s names?”

“···Ametda.”

“My name is Croton.”

As I speak, I engrave the image of a pure white naked body into my mind.

Her voluptuous body radiated a seductive sexiness.

It was arousing excitement along with a dignified charm.

For a moment, I thought I could hypnotize her like this, but surprisingly, my instincts rejected it.

It doesn’t end with simply not being hypnotized.

Something was going to happen. That premonition was taking over my whole body.

“Then, I ask for your continued support. Ahmet.”

There wasn’t enough information to hypnotize him right now.

But the stirring desire was engraving a new resolution in my head.

I’m going to hypnotize this insolent woman while I have the chance.

And I will definitely hold you in my arms and make you moan softly.

“···Yeah.”

Ahmet answers as if he is displeased.

From her perspective, I was nothing more than a lowly orc.

But through the conversation just now, he had become a difficult person to touch.

“Then since you said you were going to wash, I will wait.”

I turn around, imprinting Ahmet’s naked body in my memory for the last time.

I heard a strange noise behind me, but my head was filled with other thoughts.

More important than that were future plans.

What should I ask for in payment for hypnotizing someone?
