Then Canavro rummaged through his bag, took out a cloak and a ring, and gave them to me, saying.

"Before we go to the village, put on this robe first and this ring" said Canavro, holding my robe and robe and pointing his hand at me.

"Suspicious... and what's with this ring? Do you want to propose to me? Are you gay?" I said.

"What!!? You reject my kindness! "Said Canavro.

Then Lucy interrupted our conversation by saying.

"You don't need to be afraid of that, Mr. Drachoid. It's a witch's scent cover and an aura concealer "said Lucy.

"smell mask and aura concealer? What for?" I said.

"That's because most of us Dark Centaurs don't like the smell of witches, and there are also some Dark Centaurs who can feel the threat of someone, especially with the instinct from my brother that you are dangerous. Of course, many of the Dark Centaurs can see the aura you emit and will immediately see you as a threat" Lucy said.

"oh.. I see" I said.

Then I took the robe and ring given by Canavro and put them on. And after that, we left for a village in this Death Wood area, guided by Canavro in front with his horse and me and Lucy behind.

(has he trusted me?).

On the way, Lucy asked me about why I got into Death Wood. Lucy also said.

"So what made you come here, Mr.Drachoid? what makes a witch like you come to this dangerous place?" said Lucy.

Because I don't particularly appreciate being called by my last name, I decided to contact me by my first name. I said.

"Just call me Oz" I said, smiling at Lucy.

Then Lucy responded by saying.

"Okay, Oz…" Lucy said.

After that, I answered a question from Lucy by saying.

"I just don't know where else to go" I said, looking down.

Then Canavro immediately interrupted my conversation with Lucy by saying.

"Just wandering around?" he said.

"Yeah.. Something like that" I said.

"Are you running away from something or something?" Canavro said.

Lucy saw her brother deeply, as Canavro had experienced the same thing. The question from Canavro really hits my heart, so I can't answer it right away.

"Yeah.. Something like that" I said.

Then Canavro joked with me. he said.

"which certainly has nothing to do with me, right" Canavro said with a happy face that intended to cheer me up.

Then Lucy changed the subject. She looked at my scarred face from my fight with his brother and said.

"What's wrong with your face Oz? It's bleeding" Lucy said while looking at the wound on my face.

Then I answered a question from Lucy by saying.

"Ah .. This is the battle wound earlier" I said.

Then Lucy was surprised by my statement that I didn't heal the small wound on my face with magic. he said.

"Are you not treating it with magic?" said Lucy, who was surprised.

"ah.. I'm currently not available now" I said.

(I couldn't be more precise).

"Do you want me to treat it?" said Lucy.

"Needn't" I said.

"I'll treat it here. I'll be afraid of infection" said Lucy.

"It's okay, we will arrive at the village" I said.

"Should be now" said Lucy with a serious look.

Then Canavro interrupted our conversation by saying.

"Just follow my sister, 'Witch' " he said.

"Call my name at least!" I said.

"Heh.." said Canavro arrogantly and looked up from me.

Then our journey stopped, and I treated the wound on my face for a while. Lucy pointed her hand at me and cast a spell განკურნე (gank'urne/Heal), and suddenly around her hand was a magic circle and healed my wound. I was surprised by that, and I said after he finished his healing magic.

"So you Centaurs can also use magic?" I said.

Then Lucy answered my question by saying.

"Of course" said Lucy.

After that, Canavro relaxed his midriff, which was hit by a fist from me earlier, and his sister said.

"What's wrong with you, brother?" said Lucy.

"This witch bastard hit me earlier so my bones are crooked" he said while relaxing his solar plexus area.

"What the bastard!!" I said.

"So, is your body relaxed now, brother?" Lucy said.

"Not yet. For some reason, it's difficult even though it's usually easy" said Canavro.

"Let me see your body" I said.

Then I roughly relaxed her body. Then Canavro said.

"Did you do it right !!?" he said while feeling sick.

"Take it easy" I said.

"aaa... Aaakjh.. Aakjhhhh" screams Canavro, who feels pain because I relax his body.

After that, his body became better, and we continued our journey.

"You're great too. Where did you learn that?" Canavro said.

"I learned that myself at home when I was little. I was often injured during physical exercise" said.

"Physical training even though you are a witch?" Canavro said.

"Yeah, that's it" I said.

Then Canavro stopped in his tracks and said.

"Maybe now you can still hide your identity, but when we meet the village head, it will be a different story" said Canavro.

"So we will meet the village head?" I said.

Then Lucy interrupted us by saying.

"Yes, that's true because before you're allowed to walk around, you have to talk to the head of the village first" said Lucy.

"Actually, I'm very hungry right now, will there be food there later?" I said.

(Why didn't I faint? I haven't eaten or drink anything for 3 days. That stone on the lake is very suspicious).

Then finally, we arrived at the village gate. Canavro spoke to the guard first and then entered the village. The village is very peaceful, with rice fields and so on and finally, I arrived at the village head's house.

After that, Canavro knocked on the door and immediately opened it.

( it's not polite!!).

"We're home!" said Canavro.

"Wait so you live here!?" I said.

"Yes, that's true. I'm also his son" said Canavro.

"I-Is that so" I said.

"I will stable the Canavri horse first, and I will follow later" said Canavro.

Then Lucy took me to her father's place by saying.

"Oz, come with me to daddy's place" said Lucy.

"Okay," I said.

Then I was directed to the village chief's room. When it was in front of the room door, Lucy stopped me first and entered the village head's room. Lucy checked whether the village head was busy or not. And after finishing checking it, Lucy came out of the village head's room and approached me. Lucy also said.

"Come in Oz…" Lucy said.

I opened the robe that covered me and entered the village head's room. This room is the village chief's office. I was ordered to sit on a chair before the village head's office desk.

"Where is the head of the village?" I said.

Then the village head turned his stool as he said.

"You looking for me?" said the head of the village.

Then I was stunned by the village head's demeanor, saying.

"cool" I said.

Then the head of the village was also happy and said.

"It's true, isn't it?" said the head of the village with a happy face because I praised him.

This village chief didn't have long ears; his skin wasn't bluish-black either but was white like mine. It looked like they weren't his biological family.

"Ah, Oz… I'll be out for a while, okay.. Just relax and talk to my dad" said Lucy.

"Okay" Isaid.

After Lucy left the room, the village chief started to look serious and said.

"So what brings you here?" said the village head.

Then I thought to introduce myself before answering the village chief's question. I said.

"Previously, my name is-" I said.

When I intend to introduce myself, the village head immediately cut off the conversation by saying.

"That's not necessary. I've heard it from Lucy" I said the head of the village.

Then I answered the question from the village chief. I said.

"For rough purposes anyway. I want to ask for food because I haven't eaten for three days anyway" I said.

Then the village head offered the cake that was on a plate on his table by saying.

"food huh... do you want these three cakes first and then tell me?" said the head of the village while lifting the cake on the plate in front of me.

Then I immediately devoured the three cakes until they ran out quickly, and were not ashamed to say.

"Is it allowed?" I said.

"There are still three pieces left" said the village head.

( Great.. The cake just appeared on this plate… ).

Then I finished the three cakes on the plate quickly and said.

Then there was silence for a moment, and the village head returned to his serious face as he said.

"What is your purpose?" said the village head.

The village head's words were cut off because suddenly, someone entered the room.

"I'm in! "Said Canavro in a loud voice.

"What are you doing even though I'm being serious right now!!?" Said the village head.

"I also want to hear this bastard father" Canavro said.

"Who's the bastard? Damn it!?" I said.

"I told you to call me daddy, not a father! "Said the village head.

When the village head and Canavro relaxed, we finally started talking.

"So, What is your purpose?" said the head of the village.

I paused momentarily and contemplated whether these people could be trusted, but I pushed those thoughts away. It seemed that what Canavro said earlier was true that I couldn't hide anything from this village chief. It wasn't because he was feared, but it was because the people in the village highly respected him. Maybe the people here I can trust... .

"It's becaus--" I was cut off.

My words were cut off because another person entered inside.

"Whoever wants to eat, raise your hand" said Lucy, who interrupted the conversation by bringing food.

"ME!! ME!! ME!!...." I said, and Canavro raised his hand.

"Please don't bother me when I'm serious, and also, why are you also joining Canavro!!!" said the village head.

"I'm really hungry now, Father. Are you not hungry?" Canavro said.

"I told you to call me Daddy! "Said the village head.

I smiled at the village chief because I had never felt like this before. I'm happy to be here.

(Is this what is called family i wanted?).

The village head turned towards me again and returned my smile, and said.

"Then let's just eat!!" said the head of the village.

"YEAY!!!" the 3 of us said.

    (There are only three of them?)Another party killed the goblins and even the hobgoblins from behind. They seemed skilled and killed the summoner goblins first, so that the other goblins wouldn't come. They chopped, sliced, and stabbed all the goblins until some of them ran away.(I have to hide this)I hid my magic staff and began to show my sword, which was already covered in goblin blood. I did this so that my identity would be known as a swordsman, so that they would identify me as an adventurer swordsman. I started looking at them and it turned out I was wrong.(Not three, but alone?)I used my magic eyes to recognize them. The two party members had lost their fighting spirit, and the only one who had attacked the goblins was that one adventurer. It seemed that they had just returned from exploring Death Wood, just as we were doing now.The person leading them was wearing fairly complete armor, which made it impossible for me to tell whether they were male or female. From the wea

    We finally arrived at the location. There were so many pomegranate trees here that you couldn't even count them on your fingers. Here, the pomegranate trees were taller than usual. They looked more menacing, and every branch and twig was covered with poisonous thorns.“Let's pick the fruit then,” said Raya.Pomegranates are usually small and red, but the ones in Death Wood were even smaller and black. The quality of one pomegranate was as good as hundread real pomegranates. Because the environment was very dark and the sun didn't fully penetrate, it was difficult to pick them.“Then how do we pick them?” I said.“Oz, did you forget that we brought the Priest?” said Kei.Then Rosa immediately got ready and began to pray. She clasped her hands together and began to say, “God, with your grace, please illuminate the darkness that surrounds your servant,” said Rosa as she clasped her hands together.Then a bright light appeared in front of her and the light rose to the tree like a second s

    After resting for quite a while, we began to prepare to continue our journey, and I saw that Fei had not yet rested. Then Laura approached me and said, “Fei is resting in his own way, you don't need to worry about that,” said Laura. I replied, “I see,” I said.Then Laura looked at Rosa, who was still sleeping on my back. Laura said, “You have to get used to her. Even though she's annoying, she thinks about many things that we don't know. Even you know the reason why she always bothers you,” said Laura.I looked at Rosa who was asleep. I actually understood her reasons a little. The problem was that she and I couldn't be together under any circumstances. I am a witch and she is a priest, a fact that makes it clear that we will never be together.(Rosa did it on purpose so that I wouldn't feel uncomfortable with the party, right?)Then Laura looked at my mask and said, "So, what's with that mask and tattered robe? I'm really curious why you haven't taken it off yet. Do you have a reason

    Fei successfully killed the summoner-type goblin, with Kei's assist in severing its arm. Then Kei didn't forget to cut off the goblin's ear with the earring as proof so he could rank up faster as an adventurer.(I really want to do that)The earrings worn by goblins actually represent the caste they belong to. If they don't have earrings, they are ordinary goblins who don't form groups or have villages.If they have one earring, it means they are goblins who are used to living in groups and are the lowest caste in the village. If they have two earrings, it means they are intelligent goblins who have personal duties, such as the summoner type mentioned earlier. If it has three earrings, it means it is a fighter-type goblin that is sometimes skilled in using human weapons, and hob goblins are also included in this. If it has no earrings and is large in size, it means it is a Goblin King.(It seems that if you successfully kill a goblin king, a new rank above A will open up. But the rece

  • Chapter 1: Part 29

    My first journey as an adventurer began. I thought I wanted to become an adventurer because, after the receptionist's explanation, I could get an ID card and be able to find information more easily. Moreover, the guild was a center of information.On the journey to Death Wood, those who were initially relaxed became very serious. Even during the journey, they were actively hunting monsters that approached. I also participated in the hunt, but of course, because my rank was still low, they only advised me to kill slimes.(Only slimes, anyway, I'm still rank E too)They were very good at working together as a team. Fei, who had been quiet, became the best archer in the team, even beating Laura in accuracy. Raya led the attack and gave instructions, and the others followed his lead.As for the monsters around Death Wood, they were mostly just slimes, but sometimes mid-level monsters would appear, and those were the ones adventurers usually hunted to prevent them from approaching the city

    (A priest, huh?)I was wary of her even though she looked beautiful. Her face perfectly described a devout priest. The uniform she wore was more like a combat uniform for priests that I had read about in books. The difference between a priest's combat uniform and this adventurer's version was that it was made as minimal as possible and did not look like armor for war.“Why are you so quiet, Oz?” said Rosa.“Ah, it's nothing. I'm just daydreaming a little,” I said.“Today will be our first time exploring Death Wood a little. I can't wait to work with you,” said Rosa.“Yes, me too,” I said.Then she looked at my glass of tea and said, “Is that tea? Do you like tea too?” she said.“Yes,” I said.I was very wary of her and only answered briefly to make her uncomfortable and stop. I also turned my face away and drank my tea. But she always talked to me and said, “I also like tea, especially black tea,” said Rosa.(So this drink also comes in black).A little explanation, if you're curious
