Orc Harem Vol 2 Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Orc-san’s Departure

.

It was already morning when I realized.

I got too energetic after obtaining such good ingredients.

There were around a hundred bottled medicines in front of me.

I used things like the medicinal herbs that I had in hands with the demon bug’s body fluid and processed them with magic to create these medicines.

Most wounds and sickness could be healed using these in one shot.

However it had to be remembered with caution that these medicines only increase the body’s immunity system and recovery ability to the limit. It could only cure things that could recover even if it was left alone.

For example, something like fever could be cured, but something like appendicitis that needed surgery to remove the diseased part wouldn’t be affected at all. Something like cancer that was caused by an alteration in the cell was impossible to be cured with this medicine.

In regard to wound, something like lost body part was beyond the capability of this medicine. And in case of broken bone, this medicine wouldn’t help the bone to be connected back correctly.

This medicine was extremely convenient, but it wasn’t omnipotent.

Even so, this would surely be very helpful for this elf village that didn’t have any doctor.

And then there was the other ingredient. That guy’s skin.

「I finished with yours already Tita.」

The greatest toughness, ability to absorb impact, and yet it was elastic and light and didn’t obstruct the movement.

The ideal equipment was completed.

In addition I was also fixated with its appearance. I made it to suit Tita. I also dyed it with elf’s color green. I also made it a bit erotic to fit my preference.

My son was getting bigger just from imagining her wearing it.

Now then, next would be mine.

I got to finish it before we departed.

First, cut the skin.

I needed the great sage’s short staff to cut this skin.

I poured mana into the blade, and stabbed the skin. And then,

The blade, broke.

「UOWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

I unconsciously screamed.

「W-what’s going on!?」

Tita who was sleeping at the next room came running.

She was also erotically cute when wearing pajama.

No, this wasn’t the time for that.

The graduation present that I received from my teacher, the short staff that was the only one of its kind in the world, it was reduced to this disastrous state.

「That, your sword, it broke.」

「……Yeah, I messed up.」

The reason was clear.

I gave too much stress to the sword.

Yesterday I cut the demon bug with this sword to take its skin.

At that time the blade entered its flesh, but that guy’s body fluid could melt everything. Even this sword wasn’t an exception. It became brittle due to that guy’s body fluid.

But, as expected from the great sage’s creation. It still barely held out even after that.

I didn’t notice that and kept burdening it until it ended up like this.

「I don’t have any face to meet my teacher like this.」

「Err, then, you just need to repair it isn’t it? You can do anything after all Ork. You can even make a sword can’t you?」

「Yeah, I can make sword. Even the mithril sword I lent to you yesterday is something that I made.」

My meddlesome teachers had taught me all kinds of things.

Blacksmithing using alchemy was also included among those.

「It will be fine then if you can make a sword that amazing!」

「That’s impossible. Orichalcum can only be processed by certain bloodline, a tribe that is special even among the dwarves. ……My teacher can forcefully process orichalcum using a transcendental magic as a loophole, but it’s impossible for me to do something at that level.」

In my teachers’ standard, I was still within the domain of first-class.

I couldn’t rival my teachers in their respective field.

「How can that be……then, you should work hard so that someday you can fix it Ork.」

「You’re right……I’ll do that.」

I felt a great sense of loss.

It was painful to lose the best sword that was the only one of its kind in the world.

But even more than that, I felt pathetic for treating the present I received my teacher so roughly that it broke. I couldn’t forgive myself.

If I felt like it, I could contact that great sage. If I asked him to fix this staff then he would surely do it for me.

But, that was not allowed.

I swore I’d fix this sword without relying on him.

That was where I drew the line.

「I’m happy that you are worried for me, but please don’t make that face. Now then, let’s have breakfast. This will be our last meal in this elf village. I’ll make a feast.」

「Wait, usually it will be who make it in this case isn’t it? I’ll treat you to elf cooking.」

「Don’t wanna. The ingredients here have high quality but elf’s cooking is just whole roast right?」

「Uu, I can’t deny that. I’ll learn to cook properly and make you speechless with it one day!」

Tita was acting brightly for me.

I felt a bit saved from that.

◇

We ate breakfast, then we packed our things. With that finally the time of farewell had come.

Surprisingly, all the elves came to see us off.

「We have really become indebted to you. This village reject outsider, but if it’s you Ork-dono then we will welcome you anytime. ……Let me say it once more, thank you. All of us here are filled with gratitude for you.」

All the elves bowed their head and said thank you at the same time with the chief’s words.

「I too had fun living in this village. We will come again. As promised, I’ll bring a lot of food with me. Also it really helps me that you allowed me to leave that healing lake for a while here.」

「We don’t mind. That place originally was just an empty lot so use it as you please.」

「Also, here is a present. With this medicine, you can heal most sickness and wound. But there are also diseases and wounds that it can’t heal, so before using it, check with the letter that I enclosed inside to judge whether you should use it or not.」

By the way, I wrote the letter with elf language.

Other than studying the main language of every country all over the world, I also learned the language of races with cute girls like beastman or demihuman.

It was so that I wouldn’t do something stupid like being unable to talk with a cute girl and let her get away.

「You are a good man, Ork-dono.」

「I’m marrying the best and cutest girl like Tita. It will be no good if I’m not at least that capable.」

「There is truth in that. My granddaughter really is lucky. Tita, come home here too sometimes.」

「Yes, the city where Ork is living is quite close from here, so I’ll come back to play occasionally!」

「A human city huh, I’m worried.」

「Don’t worry, I’m with her.」

Even an orc could naturally blend in there. It would be easy too for Tita.

Besides, I was preparing various things too for that.

「Then, we are going. ……See you.」

「All of you should take care too!」

Tita and I started walking toward the city.

I met with Tita, came to this village, and we got together.

I was really glad for coming to this village.
