With this good breath flow, certainly, my blood flow is also flowing well. Not only that, for a smoker like me, I have no trouble catching my breath and my heart also pumps so smoothly, like a car speeding on a straight road.
Maybe because the environment is still sustainable, the oxygen in this world is still awake and clean, so it's only natural that I can move around more than usual.
"One, two, three..."
Kicking some of the monsters near me, the red-haired girl looked confused at what I was doing. It was only natural for her to look like that when she saw me, because I was without any protection, only wearing a t-shirt and shorts covered in a black robe, and wearing flip-flops.
Even so, she just kept yelling at me to get out of there.
"Stay away! It's dangerous here! Those monsters could kill you at any moment."
"Noisy! Don't try to order me!"
"Ugh... you..."
"If you want me to stay away from here, you must eradicate all these monsters. If you can't, you better stay on your horse, don't get off there. Don't just talk if you can't do anything about it."
"God damn it..."
While on her horse, she swung her sword several times at the monster that was aiming at her.
"You can't see, huh!? I'm having a hard time here too. Do you say I can't do anything? No kidding! I… I also want to help everyone for this peace."
Glancing at her for a moment after she said that, I saw her face contemplating for a moment then returning to attack the nearby monsters.
"Sorry, I take back what I said earlier."
Apologizing to her without having to look directly at her, I continued to attack the few monsters in front of me.
I knew the reason she was brooding. Simply put, just like that uncle, she also definitely didn't want this to happen to her. I think what happened in this condition, made a lot of people suffer. Whether suffering in terms of loss or whatever, what is clear is that they must suffer.
Glancing sideways for a moment, right at the horsemen, I saw those who seemed to be having a hard time overcoming the monsters nearby as well.
"Don't let these monsters wander any further! We make sure for the red moon this time, there will be no more victims."
"Okay."
With a positive fighting spirit, they smoldered by swinging their swords at some of the nearby monsters.
After a while, other horsemen came intending to help them. And at that very moment, the catgirl was among them, making me have to leave here immediately.
Finishing off the last monster with one kick, I slowly walked over and left her without a word.
"Hey, where are you going?"
She asked just as I was walking by, but I ignored her and kept walking away from her.
***
This may sound ridiculous, but since I arrived in this world, I haven't eaten, drank, or pooped at all.
"I am hungry..."
Even though it was dark along this road due to the red moon, there was only light from a few lamps using fireflies and only the light from the stars, I kept walking and looking for something to eat.
Along the way, I always hear the sound of "grrrrr" and screams in every corner of this city. Most likely, the monsters and horsemen were still fighting there, making noises that I could hear in every corner of the city.
I don't know how long this red moon will disappear, I have to find a place to be used as a "home", a place for me to rest and recover this hungry self, and cancel the intention of going to that luxurious house.
"Oh..."
Standing right in a square building with up to 3 floors, I assumed this building was a motel.
TOK! TOK! TOK!
Because it was locked, I had to knock on the door to open it.
"Excuse me. Is this an inn? Or, a child abduction site?"
"Hah?!"
Hearing a voice from inside, I knew someone was behind this door.
"I want to find a bed, can you open this door for me?"
"I can not!"
"Don't worry, I'm not a monster. And, the monsters around here are gone."
Convinced by my words, this door finally opened slowly.
However, this door was only a quarter open, and ahead was sticking out intending to peek around.
"Are you sure?"
A man in his 40s peeked through the door, and I just nodded at him.
"Come on in!"
Once I went inside, it turned out that this wasn't a motel, it was a drinks bar.
There, right in front of me and behind that man, a lot of humans were taking shelter in here.
Seeing their faces, I knew that they were offenders of this drink bar, and decided to take refuge here after learning what was going on outside.
Looking up, right at an open ceiling, it turns out that this place only has floors up to 2, not up to the 3rd floor.
"Are you okay out there?"
He asked as I was looking up.
"Yeah."
"How are conditions out there? Is it safe?"
"Yeah."
"I'm grateful..."
"Yeah."
Continuing to look up, I finally know that the roof of this building is made of strong wood. With that strong wood, this building must be sturdy against impact or attacks that befall this building.
"I don't think you need to worry while you're here."
"Oh, you seem to notice, don't you?"
After he said that, he walked up to a pillar made of wood and knocked a few times, and I saw it right away.
"This wood is indeed very sturdy, even today. This building was built by my grandfather who is a wood craftsman. With this wood, apart from being a place for drinking, this building is also a place of protection for people from the appearance of the red moon."
"I see."
With a building as strong as this at least this place became a useful place to take refuge, it was good for the safety of the people intending to stay alive. And the most meritorious in this case is his ancestor.
"By the way, it's my first time seeing you. Are you from out of town?"
"Umph, so to speak."
Nodding once, made him approach me.
"Oh, I see. So, where are you from?"
"From afar."
"From afar? Where's that?"
"I can't name my hometown."
"Ah, sorry, I asked for your privacy instead. Forgive me."
"Does not matter."
"Would you like something to drink? Do you want to be a customer of this shop?"
"No."
"... Hahaha, I see."
I don't know why he laughed.
And after that, he mumbled and I could hear his voice.
"Damn, this guy is so cold."
"Don't talk about someone in front of you."
"Oh, sorry. Hahaha."
He laughed again as if to lighten the mood.
I think there are so many types of humans, always apologizing when threatened.
"Young people today, why are they so arrogant? You see, when I was young, I was never arrogant and was always kind to others."
Okay, he started talking to himself, I have to leave him now.
Walking past him without realizing it, I arrived at a table and sat there.
I bent down on this table with my head wrapped around my arms, to lighten my body. But after a while, someone suddenly appeared in front of me in a maid outfit.
"Welcome, Sir. Would you like to order something?"
With the appearance of the girl's voice, I slowly raised my head and looked at her.
"I want to order food, any food."
"Sorry Sir, we don't sell food, we only sell drinks."
"I see."
"But if you are really hungry, we have food for the employees, Sir. Do you want?"
"No. That's your food, better not."
"It's all right, Sir. After all, one of the shop's employees was absent today, so there was still plenty of food left. Would you like it, Sir?"
"...Alright, please get one for me."
"Okay, Sir. Please wait!"
The girl with long bright yellow hair, long ears, and beautiful eyes turned and walked away from me.
"Why are the people here so nice? Don't any of them suspect me?"
With an appearance like this, they should be suspicious of me. Even though I didn't reveal my identity, it didn't mean they thought that I was the good person they needed.
Immersed in that question, the maid girl unconsciously was beside me carrying a large plate.
Putting the plate on the table, for the first time I was shocked to see the food.
"Ugh..."
"Enjoy it, Sir."
The plate was ahead so large it was covered in a sauce as if it was a dish that was so enjoyable to eat.
"What's this?"
"It's an orc head that has been boiled for 1 month and then cooked to a scale within 10 hours. We call it a special dish."
"...Oh."
Even though I had the experience of surviving and eating anything, but for the first time in my entire life, I saw the food dish of monster heads, monsters called orcs.
"Enjoy it, Sir. Then, I'll excuse myself first."
The maid girl left me still wondering if this food was worth eating.
"If asked to eat crocodile meat or this, I prefer to eat crocodile meat. But what can I do, since she has also given this well, I have to eat this."
And in the end, after eating it, when I got to the toilet, I threw up the food.
"Hueeekk~. I don't think I need to eat that anymore. Just once. The taste of the food doesn't suit me even though the sauce content is good."
