#324 - Up and down, left and right, BABA
Having multiple aliases is useful for escaping trouble when you're out and about.
There's nothing wrong with that.
After all, there's Li Feiyu, the killer and arsonist, and Han Tianzun, the savior from suffering.
But the difference is that Toshiki Yosuke has never had any intention of being cautious.
Whether it's Wolf Gangbrad or Kuroki Tenma, it's more like he's deliberately provoking trouble.
Most importantly, even though Zun-zun and the elf girl are present, and he even gives his real name, Toshiki Yosuke still lies about himself, treating Alicia and the others as strangers he just met.
"I-I see, nice to meet you, Zun-zun, Miss Elf, and... Mr. Kuroki Tenma."
Alicia smiled brightly.
Even in the dimness of the starless night, she was dazzling, making people marvel.
However, Toshiki Yosuke indifferently said "Oh" and stopped talking.
It was like winking at a blind person.
...That's not quite right, but Alicia was still a little discouraged.
Edgar seemed cold, but he knew how to read the atmosphere and immediately changed the subject, asking, "What are you all doing here? Did you also see the fire burning halfway up the mountain and rush over?"
"Huh, no..."
I see, they saw the shrine burning and mistakenly thought there was a battle, so they came here.
"We set the fire."
"I see... What did you say!?"
"We set the fire."
Then he told them about the shrine, but to his surprise, Alicia and the others didn't react at all after hearing that the shrine was destroyed.
No, it's more like they didn't even know there was a shrine halfway up the mountain.
...Wait a minute.
Thinking about it carefully, the elf girl didn't seem to know about the shrine either, so doesn't that mean that the so-called legends have basically been lost?
How little does this world value people transferred from another world!?
"What, is that so?"
"I thought a battle had broken out."
"Yeah, recently goblins have been harassing us..."
Alicia and the other two couldn't help but sigh, and then, as if they had thought of something, they said, "Th-that! The village of Druid ahead is suffering from an invasion by a large group of goblins. We accepted a mission to protect the village, but we're worried about our combat strength. C-can you lend us a hand!?"
"I understand, I'll help you."
"The reward is... Eh... Is that really okay?"
"Hmm? Aren't you in a hurry to get on your way?"
Toshiki Yosuke looked at Alicia in puzzlement.
The martial artist Leica took her aside and said in a voice that seemed quiet but couldn't be lowered because of her loud voice, "Alicia, are you stupid!? That guy looks like he's in league with the goblins!"
"I agree. Even if he's not a beastman, he should be a creature extremely close to a monster..."
Edgar echoed.
Have these two forgotten the scene of themselves kneeling down and apologizing just now?
And is it really okay to conspire so loudly? Aren't they afraid that Toshiki Yosuke will get angry?
...He really wasn't angry.
Perhaps he was used to being called a beastman, or even being treated as a beastman, Toshiki Yosuke remained expressionless, and one had to admire his extremely strong ability to withstand psychological pressure.
The three of them discussed for a while, saying that Zun-zun and the elf girl also looked very strong, and even if Toshiki Yosuke was a beastman and couldn't help, they should be able to withstand the goblin army.
Then Alicia started drawing a map on the ground.
"If they want to attack the village, this is the only way to go, so we wanted to build roadblocks to wait for them. As a result, we saw the fire burning halfway up the mountain at a critical moment, and we rushed over."
Obviously, what she wanted to express was that the roadblocks hadn't been built, and there probably wasn't enough time.
"Now it's just the few of us, I don't know if we can..."
"We don't need roadblocks, I have a good idea."
Toshiki Yosuke said confidently.
He seemed to have a plan.
Alicia said uneasily, "Th-that... Is it really okay without roadblocks? There are a lot of goblin troops."
"Yeah, I've encountered this kind of situation many times, it's completely unnecessary."
Toshiki Yosuke shook his head.
Zun-zun and the elf girl didn't speak. Mere goblins, not minor characters whose numbers could bring about qualitative changes, didn't need to be taken to heart.
As time passed little by little.
Alicia and the other two couldn't sit still anymore. If Zun-zun hadn't said not to worry, they would have run back to build roadblocks long ago.
Suddenly.
At the end of the winding path on the mountainside, dots of fire appeared, especially conspicuous in the starless night.
Soon, the fire became more and more dense, illuminating the existence of the march.
It was a well-equipped goblin army.
After carefully gazing, Leica said nervously, "T-there are so many! There are 200 of them, right!?"
"It's okay, leave it to me."
I saw Toshiki Yosuke walking straight ahead, then waving his body and jumping into a strange dance. It wasn't like the movements Zun-zun introduced himself with, and to others it looked more like provocation.
The goblin army, after seeing them and Toshiki Yosuke's strange movements, also rushed over angrily and beat him with sticks and clubs.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
Toshiki Yosuke was spitting blood from the beating and couldn't fight back at all, looking quite embarrassed.
Just as the elf girl couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to take action, Toshiki Yosuke suddenly jumped up more than 5 meters high with a dry land onion.
"Whoa!?"
"Why did you jump up!?"
"Wind magic!?"
Not only Alicia and the other two, but even Zun-zun and the elf girl were dumbfounded.
I saw Toshiki Yosuke descending from the sky, holding a long sword and stabbing at the goblins on the ground. Even though he had tried dozens of times and hadn't hit them, he still repeated it tirelessly.
I really don't understand what he's doing.
No, Zun-zun understood.
The strange movements that Toshiki Yosuke made before were inducing behavior with almost the same effect as provocation. He wanted to lure the goblin army, which was rushing straight over, to fall into the valley.
The newest and most complete novels are on Six 9 Books Bar!
And jumping up and stabbing goblins with a sword is also the falling assault killing technique that can only be launched in "Golden Axe" by sprinting, jumping, and pressing the attack button.
By the way, this move is very difficult to hit the enemy.
Indeed, he has been using the skills in the game to live in another world, but there is a limit to this kind of thing!
It's impossible to come up with a combo right away, and after up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, BABA, think that you have 30 lives, right?
That's not a heavy gamer, that's a gamer who can't distinguish between reality and the game!
Even with the assistance of the fairy, Toshiki Yosuke, who kept jumping up and down and repeating it countless times, was panting and exhausted.
And after all the trouble, his record was still 0.
Just when everyone was speechless, Toshiki Yosuke, as if turning anger into embarrassment, swung a lightsaber that was hundreds of meters long and flattened the mountain with one sword.
The falling rocks crushed all 200 goblins to death.
It would have been better to do this earlier?
Zun-zun completely didn't understand the persistence of the game player, and Toshiki Yosuke's approach was too extreme, which in some people's eyes was completely like a big fan who looked like a hater.
Of course, it's at least much stronger than some rational middle-of-the-roaders.
Alicia and the other two stared at everything in astonishment, and Zun-zun and the elf girl shook their heads helplessly.
After that, they went to the village to collect their rewards.
Toshiki Yosuke said that the rewards could be divided into 6 equal parts, but Zun-zun and the elf girl said that they didn't contribute, so they didn't want any rewards.
Leica was the same.
"Can it really be divided into 4 equal parts? To be honest, even if you want to take everything, seeing your strength, we have no complaints."
"It's okay."
"But..."
"This is the mission you took on, I'm just hitching a ride. Besides, if I take too much, you'll have opinions on me, and if I'm besieged again, that's a losing business."
Toshiki Yosuke said this seriously.
He wasn't as carefree as he seemed on the surface, and he still minded being called a beastman by others.
Alicia and the other two smiled dumbfounded after hearing this, and were happy with Toshiki Yosuke's humorous words, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
Until they returned to the village.
The villagers organized themselves, holding farm tools with vigilance and fear, and drove Toshiki Yosuke away. Even Zun-zun, who had seen this scene many times, felt that it was too difficult for him for a while.
"Miss Alicia, were you coerced!? Don't worry, I'll save you!"
"Huh? N-no...!"
After constant explanations, Toshiki Yosuke successfully entered the village as a guest.
Then he found that the inside of the village was very lively.
Alicia explained, "Actually, the village is holding a winter festival. Everyone is a little worried and afraid that the goblin army will come to harass us, so we hired us to help."
"I see, is that so?"
At a lively festival, everyone will be relaxed and accidents will happen, which has almost become common knowledge.
So how can we avoid this from happening?
The answer, of course, is to solve it in advance.
"That's right!" Alicia clapped her hands and said, "Zun-zun, Miss Elf, and Kuroki, if you don't mind, how about you all spend the winter festival in the village? I don't think the village chief will refuse! Because the more lively this kind of festival is, the better!"
So they took the opportunity to participate in the winter festival.
This is a festival of thanksgiving to the gods held for the winter, and the lord will invite everyone to eat a big meal at the festival held in the northern region.
This night was very lively.
Because it was a festival similar to New Year's Eve, everyone was having a lot of fun, but Toshiki Yosuke seemed unable to integrate, and left alone after eating.
Zun-zun was tricked by Leica into drinking a lot of wine with the lie that it was juice.
This was his first time drinking alcohol.
Thinking about it carefully, he should have been an adult for a long time in terms of time after staying in various worlds for so long.
Zun-zun forgot a lot of things that night.
He only remembered that the elf girl wore a very beautiful green suit skirt, and for some reason, this dress appeared in his storage space the next day.
