As soon as I arrived at the Orc village to investigate, I was greeted by the funeral of the former chieftain.

I don’t know what will happen in the world, but it was really embarrassing that he died as soon as he saw my face.

Doesn’t it look like I killed him?

The orcs expressed their position that Mother Earth had taken them away, but they still had an unpleasant aftertaste.

Due to the grand funeral, major facilities in the village are closed.

I was advised that it would not be good for outsiders to show up at the funeral, so I spent my time quietly at the temporary lodgings.

“Anyway, if things go this way, what will happen to cooperation with the Orcs?”

[Pato with high probability?]

“I guess so… … .”

Before meeting the former chieftain, an orc wearing a neat frock coat came to me.

Orc, who introduced himself as the leader of the moderate faction that pursues neutrality, explained the tribe’s situation and the crisis it was facing.

After explaining the whole situation, he immediately asked for my cooperation.

“So, you’re saying that certain orcs are being possessed by demons, breaking their neutrality and turning them against humanity?”

“That’s it.”

“I understood what the situation was, but I chose the wrong person to ask for help. If help was needed, it should have been requested from the country, not the individual.”

“Unfortunately, that is not possible. Not only is there a lot of surveillance by hardliners, but even if you look at history, there has never been a country that acts for the Orcs anywhere.”

“What should I do? Likewise, I don’t want to suffer through something that doesn’t benefit me.”

“What do you mean there is no benefit? If this continues, will humanity end up fighting us orcs?”

“Do whatever you want. Anyway, I don’t belong to any country and I don’t have a noble sense of duty to save humanity.”

Above all, I had no desire to take responsibility for the lives of many people.

Even if you work hard for humanity, you won’t even get a thank you, let alone a reward.

It is highly likely that they will not even know that I acted for humanity in the first place.

You may be told that you lack morality.

However, originally, exchanges with other races were handled directly by the government.

If they want to ignore the orcs, they just have to be harsh on the orcs.

“In other words, you are saying that you will help if there is material compensation?”

“Okay, honestly, you don’t want your compatriots to lose their lives in war, right?”

“Okay, two things if things work out well. Anything we can or can give, we will provide. How about like this?”

“Not bad.”

“Can I test your strength instead? Because we want to reject people who only talk loudly.”

“That part is something I will take into account, so I will accept it. But how are you going to test it?

“That’s not my job. There is someone who can evaluate your power more objectively than me, so we will meet you soon.”

So, when I went to meet him, the old orc suddenly died of a heart attack.

Because of that, the situation went completely wrong.

This is a test, and all investigations into magic stones have been temporarily suspended.

I have to join Fabiel and his daughter in two days, but I am at a loss as I am spending time vaguely.

“If Virgil had been there, things would have gone smoothly… … .”

[Who is that?]

“The only orc I have ever known. There was an orc who followed me around and was annoying me. But I can’t see where it went.”

[Could it be a woman?]

“No, it’s a man. He said the reason he followed me around so persistently was because he wanted to learn something from me.”

[I see!]

“Why do you sound so relieved?”

[That’s the owner’s mistake!]

With that in mind, I stood up.

After the funeral, we will probably have another discussion with the moderate orcs.

Considering that the sun was setting, my time to act freely was limited.

It was a waste of time to wait until the funeral was over.

[Where?]

“Right now, I’m going to go to the back alley. Since it is a place that operates secretly, it will not be closed for funerals.”

[Are you going to learn Orc techniques?]

“That’s later, when I have time! Now I plan to check for myself whether there are magic stones floating around on the black market.”

Considering that Oak, who identified himself as an executive, often visited the back alley, it is highly likely that he was not there.

However, as a public official, there are cases where he is cautious and does not delve deep into the details.

Therefore, I want to check on his behalf how rotten it is on the inside.

Without any trace of it, I went out the window and climbed onto the roof.

Fortunately, the orcs’ eyes were focused on the coffin, so they were not detected.

Moving quickly between different buildings, I slowly made my way towards my destination.

A gloomy street that appeared as the gaps between buildings gradually began to narrow.

The stench that assaulted my nose made me realize that I had arrived in a back alley.

The fact that the hygiene in the back alleys was horribly dirty was the same as that of humans.

“I feel like I’ve come to a faraway hometown.”

[The owner is from the back alley, right?]

“Yes, when I was young, I lived in a place like this without light or hope.”

A drunkard lying down in the middle of the street from excessive intoxication and a homeless person approaching cautiously to take the alcohol in his hand.

And a vagabond son cleverly takes a homeless person’s coins that were lying on an old plate.

Rotten food and rats came out in large numbers from the trash can that the children knocked over while running away.

This was a sight that could only be seen in the back alleys.

[How does the black market work?]

“There is a way for everything.”

I looked around the street from the roof of the building and took a gold coin out of my pocket.

He flicked the gold coin between his fingers and dropped it in the middle of the back alley.

The eyes of all the orcs in the street turned to the gold coins, and soon the scene turned into chaos.

The residents of the back alleys fight fiercely to get the owner’s gold coins.

Among them, the only orc was seen standing still and not moving.

“found.”

One characteristic of the watchman who guards the entrance to the black market.

They never leave their seats.

As soon as you make a move and an unidentified assailant enters the black market, all hell breaks loose.

It’s not that you’re fired, it’s that your head actually rips off your body.

“The back world has its own laws, and the black market, where dirty money flows, is a place that must be obeyed.”

[Oh oh! Owner, you’re smart!]

“You’re smart, but I only know this because I’ve lived in this place for so long.”

Avoiding the crowded tangle of orcs, I stood in front of the watchman guarding the black market.

Even though he confirmed that I was a human and not an orc, he was calmly wary of me.

Two characteristics of Watchmen.

If a person comes to the black market for business, they don’t really care about any existence.

If they are judged to be guests, whether they are demons or murderers, entry is permitted.

At least inside the black market, it could be seen as an equal place for everyone.

“Are you here to do business at the black market?”

“That’s right. Can you let me inside?”

“Weapons are not permitted to be used by anyone except those who have received permission. Just disarm and leave it to me.”

“The only weapon I have is a long-used iron sword. Can’t I just let it in?”

“There are no exceptions.”

“Then there’s nothing we can do.”

He took out an iron sword from his waist and held it out forward.

The orc politely accepted the sword and threw the iron sword into the weapon case that was placed behind him.

Meanwhile, the Iron Sword doctor, who did not expect to leave him behind, came by.

[Huh? ah… Can not be done!]

“Just wait a moment. I’ll be back soon.”

[This is Yugi!]

Leaving behind the scream of the iron sword, I entered the building guarded by the guard.

The inside of the building was covered with a tent, and a dreamy purple light was coming out from beyond the tent.

As I walked through the tent and entered the black market, there was an unpleasant odor that was quite different from the back alley.

A fishy smell rising from burning dry grass.

As it is a black market, drugs are freely circulating, and the majority of orcs who use the black market are taking drugs.

“It has no effect on me… … .”

Even though I had gotten used to the musty smell, I was still not used to the smell of drugs, so my brows narrowed.

I need to look around quickly and then leave.

I walked around the black market while taking out the first Demon King’s magic stone.

There might be someone who sees the magic stone and talks to it.

Not long after, the bite came and the orc woman suddenly grabbed my arm.

“Oppa, you’re human, right? Amazing! Humans come to a place like this!”

“I remember there was no law prohibiting humans from using the orc black market?”

“That’s right. The black market is wide open to anyone!”

“So, for what purpose did you stop me?”

“If you’re bored, why don’t you play with me? I just happened to want to try it with a human male!”

Unfortunately, it wasn’t the fish I was hoping for.

However, the orcs around were buzzing as it was a famous big catch.

If you listen briefly to the conversation, it appears that the orc woman in front of you is a famous courtesan.

They said that this was the first time they had seen her flirting with a specific man.

“Sorry, but I’m not interested.”

“I’ll make it cheaper for you! Huh?”

“No, I’m really not interested. I didn’t come to the black market for the purpose of debauchery.”

Moreover, I didn’t want to have my first experience as an orc.

Orcs’ sexual preference is not for breasts or buttocks, but for abs.

This is the harmful effect of indoctrinating people with strange knowledge that women with a strong abdomen, which protects the uterus, are beautiful since ancient times.

As a result, the orc woman who is currently seducing me seems to be so scary to men.

What it means is that she is a strong woman who looks like she can physically hit a man.

“Tch! It’s a joke!”

“Phew… ! I thought I was being raped.”

The reason why Orcs feel excited about being whipped by female knights and being sold by Elves is also simple.

Because strong women are their preference.

Unfortunately, rather than a strong woman, I prefer a true woman who helps me with enthusiasm.

Therefore, I and the Orcs are not compatible.

“Guest!”

“Huh?”

“A really great product just arrived, let’s take a look!”

I barely managed to shake off the prostitute, but this time, I wonder if she is soliciting a customer.

I said I was sick of it and tried to ignore it, but I heard words that made me stop.

“It’s a sword that fell like a thunderbolt in the dry sky… … .”

“What?”

“It’s true! It’s really a sword that I just picked up after it fell from the sky!”

“Where in the world is there a sword like that?”

“It won’t work! Let me show you right away!”

The orc, who continued to solicit customers, rushed off somewhere.

Finally, he whined and dragged a sword with difficulty.

“Heo Eok… ! Huh… ! It’s this sword!”

“… … .”

“This sword didn’t have a single scratch even though it fell from the sky! Isn’t it amazing?”

“Amazing… … .”

“Right? If you buy it now, I will also give you a special sword decoration that I made myself!”

An orc cumbersomely covering his sword body with a white cloth.

It was slightly cut by the blade of the sword, creating an oddly bra-like shape.

These days, if you buy a sword, do they even give you underwear as a bonus?

My way of thinking made me want to ask if she didn’t have any panties, but I laughed out loud.

Anyway, I was trying my best to keep it going, but I don’t think I can do it anymore.

“What are you doing?”

[…] … Hehe.]

In front of me was a dragon demon sword wearing a white bra.
