Orc Harem Vol 4 Chapter 14

Chapter 14: That Noisy Bug Came Out Again

.

I made Lilith angry.

……To be honest, my son was protesting at me that I did something wasteful. I could understand that feeling.

But, I would be reduced into a mere scum if I threw away my dignity.

My harem path would follow the just path.

I wanted to make a harem that could be proud of.

「You are just like usual Ork. You are serious in a strange aspect.」

「So that’s the reason why Ork-san don’t bite at Lilith-san’s offer even though you were that persistent with me. Somehow, it feels out of character for Ork-san.」

「What do you mean out of character huh.」

「Because, it’s true isn’t it? If it’s Ork-san, you are a type who will say that kind of thing doesn’t matter and keep charging forward aren’t you?」

Just what kind of orc Kururu thought I was in her mind?

No, the world standard of orc put orc at the side of someone who would fornicate without giving any care at all about the other party’s convenience though.

「I’m wooing woman only when I have the confidence that I can make that woman happy. What I’m making is a harem where everyone is happy.」

I said that with a smug face.

The two of them were making a conflicted expression.

「That’s, more or less true. Ork is kind, and we really feel how you are genuinely treasuring us.」

「Yes, Ork-san sometimes also goes out of control but, you are a really good person except of how you have a lot of women who you love. But……」

Kururu paused briefly there.

「If, this is just a what if okay? We love Ork-san, but what if we say that we also fall in love with another man? Will Ork-san discard us at that time?」

I couldn’t answer right away.

Tita, Kururu, or Rurine, falling in love with another man.

If that happened, I, I…….

「Wait, Ork, why are you vomiting!?」

「Are you alright!?」

Kururu patted my back.

「I’m sorry, it was unexpectedly shocking when I tried imagining it. It must be that, when thinking that a woman I love has another man in mind……there is something churning inside.」

The two of them looked at each other and smiled wryly when hearing that.

「Do you understand our feeling a little now?」

「What Ork-san is doing is something like that.」

Uu, those words were really hurt to hear.

「That, umm, I’ll work hard so you two can love only me. That’s why, umm, don’t look at other man.」

「Geez, you are really selfish Ork.」

「That’s right. Geez. But……please rest assured. There might not be any other man like Ork-san in this world after all.」

「Tita, Kururu.」

I performed Ork Dive, aka L〇pin Dive at the two.

They casually evaded that.

「Think of the time and place-!」

「As expected doing it outside is out of the question.」(Kururu)

I didn’t really mind though.

No, there was no way I could allow other man to catch a sight of my beloved Tita and Kururu’s disarrayed figure.

If I asked for help from wind spirits, I could always create a private room by bending the light to hide from other’s sight and stopping any sound vibration from leaking out.

Depending on my ingeniousness, I could also make something like magic mirror so that we could see outside but the outside couldn’t see inside.

I wanted to startle them with that one day.

The two of them surely would be really adorable when they misunderstood that it was an exhibitionist play and trembled from shame, and yet they were still unable to resist the pleasure even then.

「Oorc orc orc orc-」

「Umm, Tita-san, why did we fall in love with this person?」

「Ork, look at the mirror. Because your face right now can even make a love of a hundred year to cool down instantly.」

Dammit, I carelessly immersed myself in wild delusion that my orcish smile slipped out!

◇

I decided that I would look for a chance to apologize to Lilith later. So it was decided that we would stay in the castle for a while.

Surprisingly, Tita and Kururu were able to get along well with the people in the castle easily.

It was really advantageous to be a pretty girl. Seventy percent of first impression came from appearance (Orc Society’s investigation).

And then, they were given the specialty cake of this city to eat in the castle’s dining hall.

Surprisingly, the cake used rice flour in the place of wheat flour and coconut milk in the place of cow milk and it was baked, but it was really delicious. The texture was springy, it had no smell and felt refreshing, yet it was really good with how rich its sweetness was.

By the way, unlike the two beautiful girls who received such reception, I was showered with killing intent and hostility as the scum who made Lilith cried.

I had already recovered from the recoil of First Limit Release. If someone came picking up a fight with me, I intended to give them double the payback like a certain bank man. (TN: I don’t know the reference for this, in the raw he mentioned something about Ginkou man, or bank man)

Fufufu, I wanted to try using that line 『One hundred times payback!』 at least once.

Well, I was just joking. I was simply unable to stomach the guys looking at Tita and Kururu with lecherous gaze.

It couldn’t be helped that they were looking at them lecherously like that. The two of them were really cute.

「Ork-san, they said that they will give us the coconut fruit whole, can you believe that this delicious milk looking thing actually come from fruit juice!?」

The dairy product lover Kururu was turning toward me while wagging her tail.

For her to be lured by food like that, I was worried that she would get kidnapped by a bad adult.

「This continent is really nice. There is a lot of delicious fruits here. They can also make sugar, and you can also eat fish, the shrimp is also delicious, I want to live here.」

「Yeah, how about we just move our base to here!?」(Kururu)

This reaction was really unthinkable coming from the two who complained how hot and tiring the climate of this place was when we just arrived.

Moving house huh. Well, I was fine with that, but the two of them might regret it in less than a month.

「Well, there isn’t just good things in this place though. For example this place is really bad for growing wheat. Things like bread or pasta that we usually eat, or ramen or udon that I usually made would be completely annihilated from the menu. It’s possible to create them from rice flour, but it will be different in the end.」

「If we can’t eat wheat, doesn’t that mean both of our staple food and all the sweets would get exterminated?」(Kururu)

「Well, in exchange there are also sweets and dishes that can only be created with fruits and rice flour though.」

「That will be delicious in its own way, but if we will have to eat it everyday, then normal wheat will be better.」(Kururu)

This was something that they had gotten used to no matter what if they wanted to move here.

The dishes that were created from rice and rice flour were also wonderful, but it would be really hard if they were cut off from wheat completely.

……Even I really, really wanted to eat rice no matter what even if I had to run across the ocean for it.

Well, even without crossing to other continent, rice could also be harvested from the east. It was something that I only learned later on.

Although, the rice at the east was different from the rice here. It was more like Jasmine rice. The texture was dry and lacked stickiness and also puffiness. I believed that the rice here was the best.

「Is there other thing that cannot be eaten here?」(Tita)

「You can’t eat lamb meat and beef here. Or rather, this place isn’t doing animal husbandry. Fruits like apple, pear, or plum are the reverse that they can’t be grown unless the climate is cold, so it’s impossible to find them here.」

Kururu averted her eyes from the coconut fruit that she was given.

「As I thought, I like that city better-. I had also worked hard to create my workshop there!」

It seemed she had forgotten how she was saying that she wanted to move here just now.

I too would choose the other side if I had to choose.

I didn’t have any problem with heat, but the humidity here was high. I was an orc who was concerned with being sticky from sweat.

Perhaps Lilith was dressed erotically like that because of the humid heat of this place.

「I see. Can I also drink that coconut milk?」

「It’s fine. It’s impossible to finish something this big by myself. Let’s drink it together.」

I split the whole coconut into two and drank it using straw.

Doing something like this was really thrilling.

I wanted to try doing this at least once in my previous life.

I once read in an adventure novel that drinking the juice of coconut fruit seemed really delicious.

With this that dream of mine had come true.

「This is delicious.」(Kururu)

「The taste is a bit quirky, but it’s nice.」(Tita)

The two of them were already starting to drink.

I also took my own straw. If possible, I wanted to use a branching straw that was exclusive for couple, but naturally such thing didn’t exist.

I’d make it after this and always brought it around with me. Just like what I did with the coffee for post-sex morning.

Just when the straw about the enter my mouth, something landed at the tip of the straw.

I thought it was a bug or something, but that wasn’t it. The wings were transparent, but it had human form.

「Puhaa, this ain’t bad at all. So this is what they call natural sweetness. The sweetness is richer than flower’s honey, and it also doesn’t have sourness like other fruit, the taste is nice in the mouth.」

The scaling of her body was strange, but she was a splendid beauty.

The scaling was strange, but she had a damn hot body.

The scaling was strange, but she made me wanted to peek at her panty from below.

I knew this fellow.

「What’s your business, fairy.」

Yes, she was the miss fairy who acted as the spirit king’s gofer when I received the spirit crest.

「I ain’t a gofer-! Call me an apostle damn you-」

「It’s the same right?」

「The apostle sound cooler. Look, that title make me seem like a big shot somehow isn’t it?」

She puffed out her voluptuous chest (with its strange scaling) and made a smug face. I wondered why, Kururu’s smug face was cute, but on this fellow it looked irritating.

What should I do so she couldn’t laugh anymore? What if I extracted out all her blood and injected preservative instead? If I also applied several magic on her so that she would have good texture to touch and the body wouldn’t rot, wouldn’t she become a good figurine? She only had her good looks going for her anyway, so turning her into a figurine also wouldn’t be bad.

「W-what in the world are you thinking in your damn brain-! Come on, policemen!! There is a fucking dangerous person here-!」

「You have been casually browsing my mind since some time ago huh.」

「It’s the basic skill of fairy. It’s pointless trying to hide anything from a fairy. *Pishi*-!」

She pointed her finger while intentionally speaking a sound effect.

But miss fairy didn’t know. I was using my surface thought and deep level thought separately.

It seemed that miss fairy was only able to read my surface thought.

She also wasn’t pretending to not notice while she actually had noticed.

I was in the middle of fantasizing a terribly terribly guro erotic scene at my deep level thought so that she couldn’t possibly keep a straight face if she knew about it.

「Eh, eh, seriously-, seriously-? There is no way an orc can do something like that.」

「No, I’m really doing it.」

「I-I know about it you knowww. I was just acting ignorant about it before thisss. I’m also properly watching at that so called deep level thought you knowww. Your imagination seems a bit painful to watch but, there ain’t no way I’ll be shaken just from that much. After all I’m an apostle of the spirit king.」

Hou, interesting.

Then I guess I’d show her my imagination.

「OUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, po-policeman, help me, help meeeeeeeeeeee, New York Police Departmeeeeeeent, hurry up, this guy, this guy, he is seriously a bad newssss, oeeeeeeeeeeeee, hii hii, no good. It’s overrrrrrrrrrrrrr」

The coconut milk she had just drunk flowed in reverse while she took distance from me with all her strength.

「Fumu, you can’t read my deep level thought just as I thought huh. I’m finished with my inspection now.」

「Hey, Ork, just what kind of imagination did you make with that cute fairy?」

「Umm, perhaps it’s still too early for Tita. Let me keep it a secret.」

……The image was something that was sent to me in a mock battle with Gesspert of Twilight, the strongest heavenly king of the demon king army.

Mental interference type magic. It was a magic that drove image to the mind of the opponent, but it was extremely intense.

Like the atrocious figure of someone who you loved the most. Such image formed in the mind with a realistic feel that looked like it couldn’t be anything else but reality. You wouldn’t be able to stay sane if you got hit by something like that.

And then, the essential point of this magic was how it was only a transfer of image in the end. It wasn’t even an attack. That was why it couldn’t be blocked.

After all in the middle of battle, every type of sensor was becoming even more sensitive than normal in order to obtain as much information as possible.

The image transfer would also slip through almost all defense magic. Anyone who got hit by that for the first time would crumble and exposed a lot of opening. They would lose when they were stabbed with a blade at such moment.

After that I experienced that attack many times for training and gained resistance against it, but for one month I would get woken up by nightmare every night and became unable to eat meat. Just from looking at Kaa-san’s face it would make me really happy and want to cry because she was still alive.

No, like I said, I wasn’t a mommy boy. Kaa-san was the one who showed up in my head when I got hit by an illusion that showed the atrocious figure of my most important person didn’t really mean anything. It was just because I hadn’t gotten a girlfriend at that time!

Anyway, such gruesome attack would become a trauma if I was careless.

「That’s why. Fairy, you are reading the inside of my heart right? I don’t have that kind of hobby at all. I’m just recycling such image from the attacks that I experienced as training in the past.」

「Don’t show my something like that-! Uuuu, I’m absolutely going to get nightmare from ittt」

「A mysterious living creature like fairy can also see dream huh.」

「We aren’t constrained by flesh body, but in exchange our mental activity is even more active. I already have enough with this orccc, spirit king, switch, switch me so that someone else is in charge of this orccc. I want to be in charge of someone more obedient and innocent. Someone like Mireille in her heyday!」

By heyday she surely didn’t mean about Kaa-san’s strength.

Terrifyingly, that mother was still continuing to get stronger even now.

Even though age-wise she could be called an auntie already, she wasn’t growing weaker from age because she married an Evol Orc.

By heyday this fairy was referring to when Kaa-san was easiest to handle, in other words when she was burning with the sense of duty as the hero. She must be a very convenient tool to use at that time.

「That. The way you are thinking something like that is no good.」

「And, can I also ask to change the person in charge? If possible I want the next supervisor to be a girl with the size that can be entered by my thing……」

「Rejected-! Uuu, I’m the most pitiful fairy in the worlddd」

I also wanted to cry.

If I couldn’t do it anyway, then just sent me a male or an ugly woman. Sending me someone cute but I couldn’t lay my hand, that was simply a torture. ……Perhaps I should use syringe.

「As I thought, you are really touched in the head!」

「And, you showed up here after so long. Just what’s your business? You aren’t someone who show up even though you don’t have any business right?」

I had only met this fairy once.

It was at that day when Tou-san and Kaa-san disclosed the secret about me to me.

Since then I never received any news from her.

「Fuu, I come to give you warning. You are going to die at this rate you knoww」

「Is that so?」

「You aren’t surprised?」

「I have considered the possibility that you came bringing that kind of warning.」

Hero, it referred to someone with the destiny of encountering the enemy of the world someday. The spirit king gave power to that person in order to remove the world’s enemy.

「Let me confirm, the world tree devouring demon bug and the god of disaster that I fought before this, they weren’t the world’s enemy?」

This fairy was showing up again meant that there was another of this so called world’s enemy.

「No, those guys were also the world’s enemy. I shall praise you for properly defeating them. You did well. Those achievements were also thanks to the accurate direction from me.」

「……You, you never appeared even once after handing me the spirit crest.」

「Ah, it was that. It was a guidance that left things to the autonomy of the hero.」

Something like that couldn’t be called guidance.

「Well, originally after we fairy handed over the spirit crest to the hero and they became able to use the hero’s authority, normally we would force a neglecting play on them after that. No, it’s not something that we did because we like it, but because there is a rule that say we can’t do anything more than that. But this time is irregular. The opponent is cheating, so it’s also fine for us to cheat, this time is something like that. That’s why I showed up like this.」

I obtained quite a lot of information from what she said just now.

There was a rule that bound even the spirit king. Perhaps there was a superior existence at play here.

The enemy of the spirit king wasn’t just the bunches that they called the world’s enemy, there was also something like a player that was moving those world’s enemies like pawns.

This supported my hypothesis that there was some kind of existence moving behind the scene that I felt when fighting against the world tree devouring demon bug and the god of disaster.

「Ya are real insane huh. How do you guess that much just from this?」

「No, that’s normal right?」

「You know, I’m really knowledgeable about fairy history, and I have also seen generations of hero until now. But, I never knew of anyone like ya. Do you realize? In the first place you are already really odd just from how you are doubting us.」

「That’s just how my personality is.」

Was that caused by the difference of our background?

I knew a lot of story. That gave me power of imagination.

「Well, it’s fine. Anyway, just be damn carefulll, if by any chance we don’t interfere, your death will already be a done deal at this point of time. The rate of future variability will be zero.」

「……You mentioned another new terminology. It’s troublesome to ponder everything like this.」

By the time she mentioned about rate of future variability, some absurd assumptions popped up in my head. This was the sad nature of otaku.

「Don’t interrupt me anymore-. I’ll just do the cheat now. I want to get this over and get home quicklyyy」

「By cheat you mean, you are going to give me a power like the spirit crest?」

「Yep yep. But, this is different from the spirit crest that is within the rule, something so irregular cannot be allowed to stay forever. This power will be just for one time use.」

「In other words, if I solve the case without using that power, I’ll be able to keep it for other use?」

No, that would be impossible.

After all…….

「Yes, it’s just like what you think. Your death will be certain without this. You will die if you don’t use it, you will also die if you don’t use it effectively, and even if you use it effectively it still will only make your death to be not set in stone and you can still die normally. That’s how it is. No matter what don’t make the mistake of being stingy in using it. I’m telling you to not be stingy in using it, but don’t use it other than in the timing where the destiny can be changed.」

「You can’t teach me when is this timing where my death is certain huh.」

「That will be a violation of rule.」

「You are saying something absurd.」

This was far harder than I imagined.

After all I would die if I didn’t use this whatever power, but I would have to ascertain the timing by myself.

I would miss that timing if I was too careful, but I would use it pointlessly if I was being too cowardly.

I would definitely die if not for this power. I had to accurately judge that kind of situation.

「I can’t refuse it huh.」

「You will just die without being unable to do anything if you do that. After all you are already destined to encounter with that.」

「In that case, perhaps I should run away from here immediately.」

「Feel free to do that. After all it will be pointless. That’s your destiny you knoww」

I knew it.

「Got it, give me that power. You will teach me what kind of power it is right?」

「Well, that’s only natural. This power is」

I heard about the power’s explanation from the fairy.

A miracle from the spirit king that could only be used once.

Certainly it was something that was impossible to reproduce by human’s hand.

But, the case of surviving from that was extremely rare.

I see, that in itself was a hint.

With this, I could narrow down the kind of situation where I had to use this power if I didn’t want to die.

「And with that my job is overrr. Oi, you over there, hand over one coconut as a souvenir for me-, I like it. I want to drink it for myself without sharing it to anyone else.」

「You don’t want to share it……do you know how many times bigger the coconut is than you?」

「Don’t underestimate fairy.」

The content of the already opened coconut was mostly empty.

Tita and Kururu were absorbed with the story and didn’t drink it at all.

This fellow was frequently drinking the coconut while getting into that fierce exchange of retorts. She was the one mostly drinking all of it.

Was she equipped with the function to convert the food that she consumed into magic power?

The fairy received a coconut from a demihuman and rubbed her cheek on it, after that she vanished with teleportation magic.

「So that is a legendary fairy. How should I say it, she is completely different from the fairy in legend.」(Tita)

「That person doesn’t feel respectable at all.」

The two of them were looking dumbfounded.

Fairy……you were really fussy about things like dignity or respect, but first I thought it would be better if you fix your way of speaking and attitude first.

At this rate your reputation would take a hit every time you came here.
