Orc Harem Vol 2 Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Orc-san’s Lesson

.

Teaching something to other people made me nervous.

Actually I had no experience of doing something like that. That was why I recalled how my teachers taught me and formed a lesson plan from there.

Although I was never directly got taught of how to teach, I knew how to do it from y own experience.

「……Wait for a bit, I’ll produce it now.」

「Produce? What do you mean by that?」

Although I said that I’d teach her, no matter how much time we had it would be insufficient if I had to lecture her about everything starting from the basic knowledge.

The wise king Vareo’s lesson was also like that.

First he crammed the knowledge from a mountain of book into my head so that I had the perquisite knowledge before giving me his lesson.

Just reading book was enough if you only wanted to remember the lesson.

「If Kururu is the one who created this imitation sword of oracle, then I mostly understand what knowledge you are lacking. That’s why I’m thinking to create a book that contain the knowledge for that.」

First I wanted to hand her book so that the information inside it could be crammed into her head, but there was no book for that.

The knowledge only existed inside my head after all.

「You are going to make a book? Just how long do you think that will take?」

Doing it normally would take a lot of time.

For example, if I wanted to write a single volume of light novel, three hundred pages without thinking of anything, it would take a whole two days just for that.

But, there was no way I would do anything in a normal way.

「It won’t take that long if I use magic to create it. I think I have some papers in my bag……」

Paper was useful in many situations, so I always brought around twenty pieces of high quality papers with me.

It could be used to write letter, or create written contract. There were many ways to use paper.

It could also be used in odd way, like using it as pot for example.

If paper was filled with water, its temperature wouldn’t rise until more than 100 degree, so it wouldn’t burn and become a good pot.

And when using paper, the paper would absorb the scum in soup or broth, it was convenient when used to boil root crops.

I spread out those papers and used magic.

That was the magic that I also showed at the elf village. The magic to transfer the image inside the mind.

Orderly letters, pictures, and charts were drawn on the high quality papers.

……By the way, this magic in the end was a magic to transfer the image inside the brain, so it was pointless unless the caster could create a perfect image in their mind.

Imagination power was the basic of magic and also its essence. The great sage Merlin Enlight had thoroughly trained me hard to be able to do this feat.

I applied the magic to the twenty pages of papers that I happened to bring with me.

「So this kind of magic exist. It’s just like what I thought when seeing that sword that was made from alchemy, you have an imagination power that is perfect to a scary degree. It’s an essential power for magician and also blacksmith. Such ability can’t be explained with just talent. Even though you don’t look that much older than me, just what kind of training you had gone through to reach this level?」

Kururu’s face wasn’t just filled with astonishment, but also respect.

As I thought, she was able to comprehend my capability.

「I had the world’s best teachers and learning environment……and also talent and motivation. Kururu, first take a look at this book and cram it all into your head. I’ll teach you after that.」

「Yes, I’m sure just from looking at the first page. This knowledge is something that I’m lacking. It’s worth more than even gold. I’m amazed, that you’re really teaching something this precious to me.」

「Naturally. After all Kururu is going to enter my harem.」

I wouldn’t hesitate to spend time and effort at all for the sake of my woman. I would give them everything that I could give.

「There is no guarantee of that.」

「Perhaps.」

「Eh, you acknowledge that unexpectedly easily.」

「I’ll give my all so that Kururu will fall in love with me, but at the end it will depend on Kururu yourself. ……Besides, even if you won’t become my harem member, it will still be this me who wield the sword you forge. That’s why this won’t be pointless.」

「That’s obvious. If I manage to make something that surpass Okaa-sama’s sword, I can’t just let it lie around as mere decoration. I’ll want it to be wielded. That’s the instinct of a blacksmith. And then the only one who will be able to wield it is just the hero.」

The hero was the only one who could wield the sword of oracle that was made from orichalcum wasn’t because of some kind of rule, it became like that due to the physical constraint.

Orichalcum was a super duper heavy material.

Nobody could pull out the sword of oracle wasn’t because of some kind of mystical power or the like obstructing them, it was simply them not being strong enough physically.

However, orichalcum had the trait of its weight vanishing when the super thick mana that was filling the air got poured into it.

There was two kinds of magic power, the magic power inside the body(Od) that magician had, and the mana that existed in the air.

Normally magician would use their Od as bait to borrow the power spirit so they could borrow the power of mana, but for the hero……in other words for those who had the spirit crest, the spirits would be the one taking the initiative to offer their power to be used by the hero.

In other words it was impossible to use orichalcum power unless they were an existence like the hero.

……Well, there was exception. For example, the great sage Merlin Enlight. Someone out of the norm like that could use a secret trick to make mana obeyed him even though he was a human.

Other than him there were also some tribes that could. For example the origin elf who was blessed by the world tree. If it was Tita who strongly inherited the blood of her ancestor, she could handle the same amount of power like a spirit crest owner if it was just the wind spirits.

Though in Tita’s case, she had never realized that she had such power and the power of her blood was still sleeping, but if she was awakened there was a possibility that she would become able to handle orichalcum weapon.

「Err, is there something on my face?」

「It’s nothing.」

I wanted to make that bloodline power to awaken, but it was still too early.

A power that was too strong was dangerous. ……That was why I was planning to wait until the Evol Orc’s power had finished strengthening her foundation. After that I would tell Tita everything and train her.

「Well, that’s why. If I train Kururu, I’ll be able to use the strongest sword.」

「In that case there is no need for me to be reserved. As expected, it will be painful if I can’t do anything to repay you after receiving this much.」

「If you want to repay me than I’ll be happy to accept it anytime! I’m also fine with lewd things. I won’t force you to do something like that at all, but I’m going to eat what is presented before me, I’ll even have second!」

If here I said something like, if you want the knowledge, then you know what to do right orc?

I would be just a scummy orc like that.

However if Kururu said something like 「Ork-san is so wonderful. How can you be so knowledgeable and generous!? Hold me!」, refusing that would be just boorish.

「There is no way I’ll say anything like that!」

「Tsk」

「Aa, this person, he just clicked his tongue!」

「I was expecting it a little bit after all.」

「……Uu, I won’t ask you to hold me or anything like that. But, perhaps. I’m feeling a bit bad that I’m not giving anything in return, so I’ll allow you to use my tail as pillow. Just so you know, allowing a boy to touch a girl’s tail is really something special.」

「Please allow me to」

「Why are you doing dogeza!?」

Tail pillow, what’s that, that’s the best.

To be allowed to fluff that tail and sniffed it all over, that was just heaven.

I was confident I could eat three bowls of rice with only that as the side dish replacement.

「A-as I thought forget I said that just now……wait, please don’t make that face as though it’s the end of the world! You’re making me look like a bad guy like this. I get it, I get it already. I’ll let you use my tail as pillow properly.」

「Thank you. Thank you. ……I wonder if you can also give me a tail job at the same time with the tail pillow?」

「No way! I don’t know what do you mean by tail job, but I only have bad premonition from it.」

This fox had good instinct.

Even though I was expecting her to agree ignorantly.

「Then, go read those papers. I’ll go out for a bit.」

「Where are you going?」

「I’m going to cut a tree for a bit.」

「For what?」

「To make paper. The trees around here have really good quality. They are just right to create paper.」

「Err, that’s why, what are you making those papers for?」

「Naturally it’s to make book. There is no way just those papers are enough for the teaching materials right?」

I only gave Kururu twenty pieces of papers.

It would be a big mistake to think that just those were enough to complement the knowledge that Kururu lacked.

「Err, umm, the letters on these papers are really small and the information is really dense. Are you still lacking about five more papers?」

「You almost got it right. I estimate that I’ll need around five hundred more.」

Her guess of five was right, but unfortunately she got the digit wrong.

「I won’t be able to memorize that much!」

「But, you want to create the sword of oracle properly right? This amount of knowledge is my estimation of the knowledge you lack after calculating backward from comparing the sword of oracle that Kaa-san used and this fake sword. It’s also including the minimum amount of information that I estimate you will need in order to surpass the original. ……Well, if I feel like it then I condense the knowledge more to be a third of that without changing the content.」

「Then please do so. We really have to hurry.」

「Is that alright? By condensing it that means I’ll only teach you the result while leaving aside the theory and reason. It will be easier like that for both you Kururu and me, and you will be able to forge the sword after that. But, if you don’t understand the theory and reasoning why the result become like that, you won’t be able to make full use of that knowledge, and you won’t be able to progress further by thinking on your own.」

It was possible to forge the sword without knowing about the theory.

But, I went this far because I thought that Kururu wasn’t a woman who would be satisfied with just that much.

I knew from looking at the sword that she forged.

Her prerequisite knowledge was lacking and the sword was unshapely. However, there were traces of creativity and trial and error in various places of the sword.

There wouldn’t be such traces unless the creator was someone who pondered with all they had in order to progress forward.

Exactly because Kururu was someone like that I wanted to teach her not only the result but also the theory.

I wouldn’t go this far if it wasn’t for Kururu.

「……You truly, looked closely. I’ll work hard. Also, thank you very much, really. Please enjoy the tail pillow later without any reservation.」

「But of course!」

It was my dream since I was small.

No way I would hold back.

……By the way, I heard some hearsay last year that the fire fox girl who I met at the patriarch assembly had married. The beastman had the tendency to marry quickly, but this was just too fast meow!

But, Kururu was cuter than that girl.

My broken heart from that time was blown away without a trace.

「Should I help out too?」

「I guess. Please do. Then, let’s go.」

「Why are you stepping on the window like that?」

「Well, of course that’s because the soldiers are standing guard outside so that I won’t escape with the holy sword. There is no way I can get out from the entrance. I’ll use light refraction magic to jump out from the window. That’s obvious.」

「That means, you can shake off the soldiers and run away any time?」

「Someone who can lock me up number less than ten people in this world.」

I didn’t exaggerate. There weren’t that many people who could take away my freedom.

I was the strongest hero in history by the time I obtained the twin spirit crests. In addition my power equaled the demon king if I undid my seal. And then on top of that basic specs, there was also still the skills that my teachers trained me in.

「That’s true. Or rather, I’m surprised that there are even ten people in this world who can possibly stop you Ork.」

「One of them is you Tita.」

「That seems totally impossible for me though.」

「No, I’m shackled by the woman I love!」

「That doesn’t sound cool at all. Furthermore you are saying this after putting all your effort to woo another girl right in front of me, so it just irritate me instead!」

This was the difficulty of harem.

However, I was thankful that she was airing her complains so frankly like this to me.

This was far better compared to her just holding it in forever. This kind of line could come out from her mouth only because she had forgiven me for many things.

For now, let’s hunt some animal too while going to the forest. And then let’s make a hotpot.

If everyone ate from the same pot, they should be able to get along with each other.

In a harem, everyone had to get along with each other.

It was important for Kururu and me to become closer, but having Kururu and Tita getting closer was also important.

Harem was a thorny path. Even so I wouldn’t give up.
