『BUMO』
『CHU』
Chomp, munch.
The body of the executed torturer is eagerly devoured by the beastly creature with a snap of its jaws.
Heh heh heh, scary. Boars and mice eat humans…
The bones are crunching loudly.
“Well, whatever, more importantly, right now…”
Let’s organize the situation.
I am clever. So even in confusing situations, I can always stay calm and think things through.
Prioritizing is important.
First, what I should do is…
Damn.
I haven’t weeded the fields yet today.
“Hey, I heard something!”
“It came from that brother’s torture room. What happened?”
As soon as I left the house, I got captured…
There’s a lot of weeds in the field, so I really want to take care of it soon.
“Huh? W-wait…!? What is this… What happened?!”
“Hii! The boar and mouse’s familiar…? No way, this presence… a holy spirit…?”
“You, homeless…? Why have you undone your restraints!? The torturer who was here…!?”
Hmm. I guess it’s that after all. Should I have used weed killer or something?
No, though, the crops are already here…
Maybe I can deal with the weeds another way.
I’m really a beginner with fields… Ah, I got it.
“…Fertilizer.”
“!!??”
That’s right, fertilizer!
What if I mix something that subtly deals with weeds into the fertilizer?
“Wait, right now…”
“Damn it… Just as the holy child predicted… Too dangerous…”
“To turn us, the Holy Council, into fertilizer…!?”
“The honorable torturer is gone, but there’s so much blood… Could it be… this kid…!?”
Hmm, what should I use for fertilizer?
Up until now, I’ve just used monster manure…
But too much nutrition probably makes the weeds grow more.
So, what should I do…? Oh! Suddenly, I have an idea!
Since it’s another world, maybe I can look for a special kind of medicine!
That’s it! Something like pesticide!
“Let’s look for pesticide.”
“!?!!?!”
“You… where did you find out about…?”
“Pesticide… The secret medicine from the Church that allows one to commune with the divine… Could it be, from the start, you intended…?”
“Everything was according to plan!? We were lured into a trap!? The prophecy child, the daughter of the border lord, approaching us was all to lure us here…?!”
Look for pesticide, mix it into the fertilizer.
Right, I can’t just stay here.
I’ll head back for now.
I left my wallet and stuff at home.
“…I’ll head back.”
“You’re not going anywhere!!”
“You!! Don’t you dare underestimate me! Hey! Guards!!”
“Oh?”
Before I knew it, people had gathered behind the iron bars of the torture room.
…Ah, I see. This is the enemy’s base, after all.
Player, the enemies are gathering here quickly…
“Hmm. That’s troublesome. Alright, Nav, let me teach you how to handle this situation.”
Eh?
“Stealth. Get out of the jam without being seen by anyone.”
Eh? But… we’ve already been spotted…
“Activate the technique ‘Fresh Blood Sutra.'”
“Eh?”
Too late.
The blood blades I unleashed sliced through the bodies of the approaching enemies, cutting them into pieces, even going through the iron bars.
“All witnesses are dead. No one who saw me is alive.”
I really owe an apology to all stealth specialists.
Nav sounds cold.
Hmm, but some of these guys said some interesting things earlier.
“Ugh… no… you shouldn’t have any magical power…!”
“Oh, someone’s still breathing?”
I was about to finish them off, but then I thought of something.
“…Do you know anything about pesticides?”
“Ugh, as I thought… You’re searching for pesticide, aren’t you…?”
That’s the weeds we’re talking about.
“Yeah, I’m going to exterminate them all.”
“Hahaha… impossible. Humans can’t defeat… them…”
They’re talking about the strength of the weeds.
Indeed, with the current level of technology in this world, eradicating them would be difficult.
But I know.
Humans can defeat weeds.
“No, not necessarily. I’ll prove it, I, myself.”
“Hahaha… there are always people like you… The pesticide… is in the church’s basement…”
He died.
I see, there’s pesticide here.
The church… is this the church’s facility?
Ah, I get it now. It’s one of those medieval-style setups where religious powers monopolize technology.
Now, I understand everything.
The secret pesticide of the church exists here!!
“Guess we have no choice but to look for it.”
