When I came to, I was sleeping on straw. Why straw? I wasn't mistaken, it was indeed straw. It seemed like it was a shed, with stacked straw, and I was sleeping there.
Come to think of it, What happened to me?
If I remember correctly I was trying to find my way outof that crazy forest and Then suddenly my consciousness flew away.
After that I had a pep talk with God once again and
Then when I came to, I was on top of the straw. Wait, is this a bed made of straws?
Did something happen? How I came here in the first place?I don't really know.
Neither the windowpane nor wooden window opened. I opened the window.
The light outside is dawn? Did it get lighter than a while ago.
I decided to leave the house.
The scenery outside was like any rural village.
There were several houses made of wood, with vegetable gardens. The fields extended to the east with the sun and near the north where there is a forest.
Despite the fact it's not morning properly, the villagers had already started moving around restlessly. There were two people running like crazy on the road.
I rushed behind the tree and hid.
Although, I don't know why I need to hide. I don't even know where I am. It's better to act cautiously. I need to watch my surroundings.
From my cover I saw the two people.
The village extends to the southwest. There are 3 private homes and 40 houses. In the center there is a two and three story house, as well.
As I was walking around the village, An enormous roar resounded throughout the entire village.
I startled for a sec then rushed in the direction of the voices. There was a three-man, outside the village, who looked like they were rushing back.
It seemed they were shouting something but I couldn't understand what they were saying as they were far away
. A bit later, villagers started appearing from their houses carrying swords and hoes.
Could it be that I have done something wrong
The villagers gathered and hurried toward the east. I followed them quietly through the forest.
There were some thieves that villagers were confronting….
When the Thieves arrived at the village, they started attacking the villagers.
The villagers responded with a counter-attack of their own.
Soon, both sides clashed in the middle and it was impossible to tell who belonged to which side. I can't understand .
They were fighting right in front of where I was hidden. If I leave the forest I can take them by surprise.
What did he do? It seems like he was stabbed through an opening in his armor by the thief's sword I heard it's a practice to wear armor in ancient martial arts.
The middle-aged man lay prostate, naturally the leader turns to face him. Is now my chance perhaps?
If it is, I get the feeling that I can get the leader without being noticed.
My heart is pounding. I unsheathed my sword and I grabbed the hilt tightly with both hands.
Then there's no choice but to go. If I don't help them then they are sure to die. If I don't help htem now then I won't be able to face anyone. I can't become a king.
I took another deep breath. I concentrate on the sounds around me. I rush from the forest. I sprint toward the person who was heavily equipped and he seems to be their leader ,at full speed.
Along the way, a thief notices and tries to stop me. I threw some knives and killed those thieves in a single stroke.
I raised my sword and voice again, and continued to run. I jumped a little at the end and landed next to the leader. I focused my intent to kill him and conveyed that to my arms I stood firmly and swung my sword downwards. Red blood spurted from his neck.
I killed another person. Shit, what's happening to me?
But I don't have time to think. I started taking on the other thieves.
The thieves that surrounded the leader were the single-digit thieves and were felled in a single stroke.
I searched for the next strongest thief. While swinging my sword at the necks of the small fries right and left I checked the thieves.
After seeing me fight,
They stopped fighting and began to flee. They started to withdraw, because their leader had been defeated.
Now that their backs were turned, this is my chance. I started to pursue them.
This is common sence that if I let them go now then tomorrow they will attack me with greater odds and who knows if I will be lucky enough to survive next time. Sorry boys…..you need to die if I want to ensure my health for at least tomorrow.
I slaughtered some of them from behind. Directly in my path was the third man. I blocked the sword that came from and returned with my own swing to the left, which he blocked. Because he has armor, I probably can't take him out in one blow.
With a quick decision and a twitch of the sword, I hit his forearm. If this was kendo, this is something I would definitely do. I completely cut off his right wrist and it fell to the ground. I ignore the blood spurting from his wrist and finish him off.
I ran from the splash of blood. The thieves were in full retreat mode.
I slaughtered more as they tried to escape
The remaining enemies were scattering. In the end, none could escape my wrath and became my experience.
「phew….」
After killing every thief, I sat down on the spot. My breathing is rough. I let out a deep breath and recovered my composure. The sounds of my surroundings suddenly returned to me.
In the field, the thieves' corpses and their blood was all over the place.
When I regained my breath, a man approached me.
[ARE you an adventurer?]
「That's right」
「Oh. As expected. That's an adventurer for you」
What do you mean "as expected"?
「I am this village's chief」
I just nod and agree.
「You've saved this village from is problem, thank you very much」 CHIEF
「No, it was nothing] ME
It was that kind of event.
But, I'm being unusually impertinent. It must because of how the village chief is depreciating himself and doesn't stop praising me. Although his level is low, he is tentatively the chief. It's troublesome that he's being so polite, somehow it's become like this.
「Please allow me to express my gratitude in any way I can」
「Is that so? Then, is there somewhere I can lie down? I'm a bit tired. Also I want to remove these blood stains as quickly as possible.」
「Then, please come to my house. I'm called Soma the village chief」
After the formal introduction, he invited me to his house. Come to think of it, how did I come to this village in the first place? Wasn't I in the forest when I lost my consciousness?
Let's ask the chief the next time.
