Orc Harem Vol 2 Vol 13

Chapter 13: Orc-san’s Passion

.

Morning came.

「Ork-san, about this part.」

「That part huh. Certainly we will need a supplemental material.」

After that I finished more than 500 pages of 【Everything About Blacksmithing And Alchemy (Intermediate Level)】. Kururu had been studying it all this time.

She wasn’t just reading it, she was also comprehending it. Because of that she hadn’t finished reading them all even when morning came.

Also, knowledge was something that was connected to each other. Depending on the knowledge, one would need to learn the knowledge that served as that knowledge’s foundation first before being able to comprehend that knowledge.

In that case, I would create the required materials to study that preliminary knowledge on the spot like now.

……With this I realized once more just how amazing my teachers were.

With the materials that they had prepared, those people didn’t need to go back repeatedly to teach their lesson like what I was doing right now.

They reached super efficiency in teaching me by making me learned the most optimum materials with the most optimum order.

In contrast, there was a mistake in my evaluation of Kururu’s actual ability, which caused my lesson for her to have bad efficiency.

「I’m sorry. Even though Ork-san has gone through all the troubles to prepare these materials for me, you have to halt your lessons many times because of my questions.」

「I’m the one in the wrong. I planned to make materials that will make you understand by reading them in order, but my actual implementation was bad.」

「That’s not true. ……The things that I have been doing all this time without much thinking as though it’s only obvious are actually hiding various principles behind them. Learning about them is really fun. I have done many trials and errors, testing various things to make a good sword. But after learning all these, I can predict the result even without testing it. I can forge a sword by looking at the future properly instead of doing it haphazardly. ……I’m thrilled.」

Even though Kururu hadn’t gotten even a wink of sleep, there was no sleepiness at all that could be felt from her.

She really loved blacksmithing.

In addition the working of her mind was also abnormal.

There was also her skill and precision in forging that failed sword. She was without a doubt a prodigy.

Tita was also someone really intelligent. Perhaps girls with bright intelligence were the type that I seriously liked.

「It’s great that you are passionate like that, but you should go to sleep already. It’s not like you need to learn them all by today.」

I pointed at Tita.

She was sleeping soundly.

Seeing Tita like that made me felt sleepy too.

「Fu fu fu, that’s impossible. I can’t possibly fall asleep after reading something this interesting. My eyes are wide open from excitement.」

「Well, you can do as you like.」

Looking closer, I noticed that Kururu was using ki.

It was said that the divine steel tribe had physical strength that surpassed ordinary people. They wouldn’t be able to be blacksmith if they weren’t.

But after seeing the person herself like this, I realized that it wasn’t that Kururu’s body was particularly strong. She was unconsciously using ki skillfully.

In this state, there wouldn’t be any negative effect to her body even if she stayed up all night for two or three days.

「But, I’m the one who have to go soon.」

「Ah, if I remember right, you have a duel with that strange person today. Please take care of it quickly and come back here.」

Kururu waved her hand while reading the materials.

……No, wait a second.

「You come too Kururu.」

「Ee, it’ll be just a waste of time even if I cheer you on. It’s not like it will make Ork-san stronger.」

「No, that’s not true. I’m a type of orc that will become stronger endlessly in front of cute girl.」

That had been proved from past experience.

If Tita wasn’t there, a feat of returning back to normal from the release of the seal’s second layer would be impossible for me.

「You can still win easily enough even without getting any stronger can’t you? You won’t be able to trick a fox’s eyes. Ork-san’s monstrous strength can’t possibly lose against human.」

「I don’t deny that……but, the reason I want Kururu to come watch because I believe that watching how this failed sword of oracle is wielded in real battle will serve as reference when you forge the new sword.」

「Certainly! I have to watch that. I think I’ll be able to try various tricks with the center of gravity and the like with that.」

As expected from a blacksmith.

It helped that her understanding was fast.

「Then, I’ll wake up Tita.」

「That miss elf doesn’t really need to be present too isn’t it?」

「I want to show my coolness in front of my lover!」

「……Despite everything, you really love her properly aren’t you? Even though you are casually trying to cheat right in front of her.」

「I’m not cheating. I just want to love Kururu too while also loving Tita.」

「Then what if I become your lover, and then another lovely girl appear after that, what will you do?」

What a foolish question, the answer for such question was obvious.

「I’ll woo her in front of Tita and Kururu!」

「Uwaa, this person is totally a scum.」

She was creeped out. Her eyes were emotionless.

But that was my orc path.

A harem where everyone was happy and in acceptance.

I was aware just how indecent I was acting, in return I would persist with my principle to the end and not hide anything.

◇

The soldiers led me along with Tita and Kururu to the colosseum.

I wanted to make a retort why the holy land had something like this, but although this was the holy land of sword, it wasn’t just the sword of oracle that was created here. This was also a producing area of various famous swords.

Because of that, many swordsmen were attracted by famous swords to here and it made them wanted to test their skill.

And then those who wanted to make a show of it appeared.

Through this and that, a colosseum for the swordsmen to compete became necessary. That seemed to be the flow of event.

The audience seats that were surrounding the ring in round shape were filled with people.

After what happened yesterday, this became a duel where the winner would be acknowledged as the hero. It was something sensational that gathered the attention of the whole city.

There were also those who came here to pull the sword of oracle, but they found out that the sword had been pulled and felt disappointed. Because they were already here anyway, they came to watch so at least their visit here wasn’t a total waste.

「As I thought, they are making a bet of this……come to think of it, are you familiar with using money Kururu?」

「Obviously. Buying the fuel and material to forge sword need money after all. I’m someone who make my living by forging sword.」

「I see, then go bet all these for my victory.」

I handed her a bag that was filled to the brim with gold coin.

「I knew you are a rich person, but this is absurd.」

「I’m going to make a harem. So I need to be resourceful for that right? It will be impossible to form a harem unless I earn much more money than your average guy. And now there is a sure chance to earn money tumbling in front of me. I’ll earn a ton of money.」

Gambling was one of the greatest amusements that many people were excited to participate in.

Furthermore, it seemed that the gambling house here was managed by the country. There was no risk that the bookie would run away with the money, so I could put all my money into it.

「Even so this is just horrible. You are treated really badly Ork.」

There were newspaper extras being distributed. It explained about the duel that was going to be held after this.

On one hand was me, someone that they only considered as a man who due to some kind of mistake managed to snatch the delicious part from the deserving party.

And then the other person was the white rose knight who had amazing achievements.

And so the betting money was concentrated on the white rose knight. In a normal gambling house, if I bet this much money on myself, the payout ratio would be greatly decreased.

However with a gambling of this scale and the popularity of the white rose knight, I could expect a very great return from this bet.

I didn’t care even if they made fun of me a little.

Rather I considered it a free service for them for letting me earning so much money.

「Fuh, it looks like you haven’t run away.」

The mister white rose knight arrived.

「Well, there is a reward in it for me after all.」

「I don’t get it at all. To think that there is someone who want to accept being humiliated unsightly in the presence of so many audiences just for a small change like that.」

He laughed pretentiously.

Somehow, I came to respect him instead that he could go this far in his self-confidence.

Oh man, I might come to like this guy at this rate.

I was planning to leave him half-dead, but I guess I’d go easy on him a little.

「Don’t be so sure of your victory. Ork is really strong just so you know.」

But it seemed Tita was angry that I was made fun of like this.

「Hm? You are the girl who was beside this man too yesterday……I didn’t notice it at that time, but you are very beautiful. You are worthy to be my princess. Aa, why a beauty like you are with a man like this. This is a great loss for this world. Don’t tell me-, are you being threatened?」

「Um, I’m together with Ork because I love him.」

「Could it be, you are brainwashed by black magic!? I shall free you from his evil magic, my beautiful princess.」

The mister white rose knight kneeled in front of Tita and kissed the back of her hand.

「I will definitely win and come to get you. Adios!」

And then he stood up and left.

Tita looked disgusted from the bottom of her heart. She wiped the back of her hand with a handkerchief.

「That person has a really pitiful brain in his head.」

「Rather than pitiful, it’s more like disgusting……eh, Ork, your hand is shaking really hard for some reason, or rather, your face is scary-, what’s wrong!?」

「I’ll kill him」

Hih, Tita and Kururu shrieked and backed off.

That guy really got guts to lay his hand on my woman like that.

Forget defeating him kindly. I’d kill him.

.

「Uwaa, even though he easily wooed other girl in front of his lover, he got absurdly angry like this when his lover is wooed by other man.」

「I can feel that he really love me from this reaction, so perhaps it make a bit happy that he get this jealous.」

「……I’m going to the waiting room from here. You two, go watch from the audience seats. It seems they prepare VIP spots for us. Tita, how do you want to see that man die?」

「Err, you must not kill him okay? Things might become troublesome if you do that.」

「I know. I don’t want to get involved with that kind of man anymore than this after all. I’ll beat him properly, ……until he is seven eighth dead.」

「That will be almost no different from killing him won’t it!? That’s just your usual orcish joke, right!?」

「Hahaha, I’m obviously not joking.」

I had also learned the technique to stop just shy from killing someone. I had also mastered torture technique.

It was better to die. That was a cliché sentence that was often used, but I was going to practice it for real here.
