250. Reunite With A Classmate

Anyway, Izumi didn't mean to say that Kumoko's face was creepy. What Izumi meant was Kumoko's overall appearance. From a human's point of view, of course, seeing the half-human and half-monster bodies was creepy. Although, not everyone thinks so. Even if there is someone who has several body parts like a monster, sometimes some people think it's cool, some are the opposite.

"Well, never mind."

Since the adventurers and tamer had just left, Izumi could easily follow their tracks and where they were going because he had a keen sense of smell.

Izumi followed the smell that was likely the monster tamer which had differences from the adventurers he had just met. And apparently, the direction of the smell was not toward the empire but toward the western mountains. This made Izumi quite sure that the direction he was going was the right direction.

It took Izumi more than 1 hour to find the location of the monster tamer. It was a small village at the foot of the mountain range. He looked around where there were only a few soldiers. He looked and saw, the composition of these border guards really showed that they were outcasts. Some had power, but their equipment was rendered unfit for use.

On the other hand, due to his past mistake, the monster tamer needed something to get back to the empire. That was why the monster tamer did not hesitate to enslave the goblin who could create high-level weapons. He thought that if he could control the goblin, the empire would give him a huge reward.

"Found him."

With a fairly close range and a small residential area, Izumi easily detected all living things around him. He could recognize which were human auras, and which were not, so he could tell where the goblin was being restrained. Izumi disappeared from where he was standing, leaving Kumoko alone like an abandoned child.

"Nai wa..."

— — — —

He is a weak creature. A weak creature that is always a target for beginners. Everyone knows what kind of weak creature is. A creature that has dark green skin, a sharp nose, pointed ears, and a short body. It's none other than a goblin.

He was a human and has a human soul because back then he was just a student from a modern world who reincarnated into a fantasy world. His name is Razu-Razu, formerly Sasajima Kyōya.

He was now restrained by the slavery magic that allowed him to only comply with the monster tamer's wishes. He felt so stupid. He was a goblin, he shouldn't have recklessly created so many quality weapons. If humans knew that the goblins had equipment that was higher in quality than humans, of course, humans would consider them a threat, causing humans to immediately eliminate the goblins. As a result of what he did, the goblins who had been considered family for 2 years were killed, and even he himself cannibalized his sister due to the slavery magic.

His heart was broken, but his anger was growing toward the monster tamer whom he had to obey his orders. He could only be patient and bide his time until he could escape the slavery magic.

He saw the monster tamer approaching him and said.

"Make the best weapons that benefit humanity!"

The monster tamer was careful enough to give orders for the goblin not to create a cursed weapon or something.

Kyōya couldn't resist and could only make weapons with hatred. After finishing making weapon after weapon, he handed them to the monster tamer, but to his surprise, someone suddenly grabbed the weapon before the monster tamer took it.

"Heeh, this weapon is pretty good. It's cool to be able to make weapons from your bare hands, Sasajima Kyōya."

Of course, the one who said that was Izumi who had quietly appeared without the monster tamer noticing using his space magic.

Kyōya was stunned. He didn't hear wrong. Izumi spoke in Japanese. What's more, Izumi had facial features that were familiar to him.

Meanwhile, the monster tamer is surprised that a stranger appears without his knowledge.

"Who are you?"

Izumi said in a foreign language that was difficult for monster tamers to understand. Even so, the goblin seemed to understand what Izumi was saying after seeing the goblin's expression, even though the monster tamer was certain that it wasn't the goblin language.

The monster tamer readied his wand and prepared to use magic while checking Izumi's status. Too bad, apart from the automatic translation of lv 10, weapon crafting lv 10, and item crafting lv 10, other statuses cannot be seen.

"What?"

The monster tamer's eyes widened in surprise. But he soon came to his senses and started to command Kyōya to attack Izumi while chanting magic.

Izumi's other eye changed color which not only neutralized the monster tamer's magic but also caused a backlash. He spurted a mouthful of blood.

Izumi who was attacked by Kyōya from behind caught the sword that was swung at him. He activated the Magic Destabilization Eye again which made his other eye change color. He saw a magic array in Kyōya's head. Instantly, Izumi grasped the sequence with his eye and slowly extracted it gradually.

The monster tamer saw what Izumi was doing and slightly understood what he wanted to do. He got up again and directly attacked Izumi with magic. But before he could do so, Izumi without turning around created a huge wind wave that threw the monster tamer back. Instantly, the surrounding people turned their heads in that direction due to the resulting commotion.

"Captain!"

They ran towards the monster tamer to see how he was. As soon as they wanted to ask why he was thrown, there was a scream.

"Monster!!!"

"Help!!!"

"Aaaahhhh..."

There was another commotion whose voice came from outside the village. And before long, an individual figure with the upper body of a female human and the lower body of a spider monster appeared before them.

They all didn't dare attack her because they saw someone who attacked her being killed instantly.

When the monster tamer saw her, he was so surprised because Kumoko's lower body resembled a spider monster he had seen in the past.

And the fact was, the reason he was thrown into the mountains was due to the spider in front of him massacring all the expedition troops apart from him and one imperial mage. Even the imperial mage who was a valuable asset of the empire was heavily injured.

Seeing the monster that had traumatized him, he became unable to move and only saw Kumoko with cold sweat dripping from his entire body.

Kumoko just looked at him, then ignored him and headed to where Izumi was. She didn't care about humans who just stood still or did not do anything to her, if by chance someone attacked, she would retaliate. That was her principle when she was in the presence of humans.

"Haaaa!!!!"

Suddenly, he heard a shout from behind which was none other than the special goblin he caught. The monster tamer prepared to fend off Kyōya's attack.

*clank*

The one holding back Kyōya's attack wasn't the monster tamer, but Izumi who suddenly appeared in front of him wielding his sword. Due to the difference in strength, Kyōya was thrown backward, but he still gripped his sword tightly.

"Hey hey, what's wrong with you bro?"

"Get out of my way, I want to kill him!"

Kyōya's expression was filled with hatred and killing intent, yet he was still unable to intimidate others.

"You are so weak, how do you want to kill him?"

Izumi's words pierced his heart, but what he said was reality. He was too weak to be able to kill the monster tamer.

Izumi said again.

"You should greet your old friend over there! Right, Kumo-chan?"

Hearing Izumi's words pointing in a direction, Kyōya turned his head.

"Wakaba-san?"

Kumoko just nodded in response.

He was stunned at first. Then he realized, maybe he wasn't the only one reincarnated in this world. Moreover, because of Kumoko's appearance, Kyōya could guess that Kumoko reincarnated into a spider monster. He wondered what it would be like if his other classmates also reincarnated into monsters.

Then, he looked at Izumi and wondered who he was. His face was indeed Japanese, but he couldn't remember having a friend like him.
