I’m Not That Kind of Talent - Chapter 102

102. Hunting Competition (3)

“Yes, while you were out on a mission, they destroyed the building again. “It’s a price, but I think I still have to get permission from the owner.”

“….”

“Of course, it’s not compulsory, so if you don’t like it, I’ll just use the Imperial Knights to handle the matter.”

The crown prince’s attitude became cautious, as if he had interpreted my decaying expression differently.

It’s not because of that… these bastards caused an accident again? Destroy the building?!

Damn you guys.

A voice as cold as the expression came out.

“Use it to your heart’s content.”

“Okay… if you don’t like it, there’s nothing we can do… hmm?”

“I don’t know if this will be able to repay all of their atrocities. I am grateful for Your Majesty’s generosity and gladly offer up my leadership. “You can use it as much as you want.”

You can just take it and throw it away.

The crown prince’s expression changed subtly. He was holding a sword and arguing with the members of the Imperial Knights. He looked back at the mad dogs being dragged away by Lien, then turned his head again and smiled at me, pretending not to have seen anything.

“What are you talking about? The whole world knows that you are the only one who can control them. “You’re making a joke out of it.”

“yes?”

“It must have been quite a hassle, but thank you, Count, for willingly agreeing to join us.”

So… those crazy dogs and I are in the same group, right?

Damn it.

….

I thought while riding a horse.

‘Oh, my butt hurts.’

Considering this vast forest, it is natural to ride a horse, but even that is not easy for a weak body. The good news is that I didn’t have to step forward.

‘No, no. ‘I have to get hurt, but it doesn’t work if I don’t come forward, right?’

I got hurt and have to go home!

That was the decision I made when I had to be tied up with the crazy dogs and dragged away.

You can’t avoid it, so you’ll get hurt and fall out!

If you wipe out the monsters in the first round like now, a hunting competition will be held. Then I should participate too. After suffering and exhaustion there, you may have to face the emperor.

In that case, it would be better to get hurt here and go home.

If I were to bleed, I wouldn’t have to go through the complicated process, but it’s not something I want to do…

‘I’m hurt. ‘You’ll definitely get hurt!’

His eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.

“Hey Count, look at his eyes.”

“Wow… that’s a little scary… are you angry?”

“Isn’t it because you’ve never been able to use a sword on a monster?”

“It’s a bit creepy… Isn’t that what makes you roll your eyes?”

It seemed like people around him were whispering something, but it didn’t sound like he was overly nervous.

I chose the former between the fleeting physical pain and the continuous mental pain, and made up my mind to move forward…

‘Why can I already see the end?’

The subjugation has now reached its end.

I blinked as I looked blankly at the knights preparing for what seemed to be their last battle.

“…Lord Lien.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Why are you so good at escorting…”

“That’s too much praise.”

No, just do it in moderation. Don’t be proud.

All the way here, Lien did not allow a single monster to reach me.

Ah, it looks like my remarks just made Lien angry. A solemn determination appeared in her eyes.

‘don’t do it. ‘I don’t know what it is, but stop.’

“I will make sure that my lord will never draw his sword in this battle either.”

“Ah…”

“Please watch.”

“No… there is no need to go that far… I should try using the weapon once…”

“I may not be trustworthy in your eyes. Still, I can do this much, so please believe me.”

“….”

Shibure.

At this point, confusion arises. Yes, I will definitely come forward and hurt you.

Lord Lien walks away from me to check on the mad dogs. As I looked at her back, I started shaking my head with impatience.

In most cases, they won’t even give you a chance to face monsters. Looking at Sir Lien’s current state, it seems difficult to see even a single hair of the monster.

“Count.”

“…If it doesn’t work out, you can pinch the horse’s butt and fall off the horse…”

“Count?”

“Yes? step?”

“Yes, Count. “No, no.”

Dan, who was looking at me with a complicated expression, quickly shook his head and spoke.

I think it’s because I feel like I’m deliberately ignoring it because I think I’ll get tired if I find out.

Dan nodded his head with an expression that told him to say something quickly, but his expression changed as if he wanted to get to the point. I saw something glancing at me in my field of vision.

“I was told that my behavior a while ago was seriously rude.”

“ah.”

Did you hold out your hand when you got off the carriage?

It seems that Remember explained it well. I wish I knew by now. He smiled and waved his hand.

“What about something that has already happened?”

“But…”

Once you understand the meaning, there is no way you can move on with ease.

Dan glances at my face. A cautious voice continued as if he was watching.

“Are you… not angry?”

“So, it’s already passed…”

I was about to answer casually, but then stopped. My eyes narrowed.

…It feels like he’s expecting me to get angry, but maybe I’m mistaken.

I looked at him in silence, feeling uncomfortable. When there is no immediate answer, he flinches and rolls his eyes.

The black eyes looked into my eyes, examined my expression, and then turned back to the floor. It looked like someone was watching me, but it seemed like they were measuring something, so I took a little more time and then slowly opened my mouth.

“You…”

“You’re a monster!!”

The remarks that followed were drowned out by shouting from one side.

My homecoming certificate! Dan is not important right now. I turned my head around to see where the shout came from.

One, two, three people who would become the perfect homecoming certificate that no one could refute… Anyway, they were rushing in.

‘…It’s a bit much, though.’

Well, it’s still not comparable to the Demon World.

The reason they came over here in the first place was because they were so numerous that they were pushed out to the human world. Those who were pushed out were probably those who were driven out because they were weak even among monsters.

This means that it is the largest group of monsters I have encountered so far, but it is not at a threatening level.

Trusting this information and trustworthy knights, I quietly drew my dagger. If you pretend to do it in moderation, you end up getting injured and get out.

As I took a step forward with my horse, a loud shout right next to me shook my eardrums.

“Imperial Knights ready for battle! “Everyone line up!”

“!”

What a surprise. I reflexively grabbed the dagger that I almost lost.

At the leader’s shout, there was random movement. An exclamation of exclamation suddenly burst out.

Wow that’s cool. I’ve already seen it several times on my way here, but it’s still cool to see it again. Can’t our kids do that?

“The Lofty Knights….”

“Wow!!”

“The one with horns is mine!”

“…Okay, do whatever you want.”

Lien’s liberated voice was heard.

Well, it can’t be possible either. I laughed in vain as I saw the wild dogs rushing towards me in large groups. I really had vain hopes.

‘Then now I too…’

I scanned the situation with my eyes and chose an appropriate person to glare at.

The dagger in my hand spins, and my thumb stretches and folds as if to use the handle.

As soon as I started moving my horse without realizing the hand signals that had become a habit, I heard a familiar voice.

“Milan!!”

Kletter is pointing his finger at me and blaming Milan.

“Stop the Count!”

“…Yes?!”

***

Sometimes I think like that.

How could a vanguard made up of poor people and commoners who could not even master the meager swordsmanship survive the eight-year war? Was simply going on a rampage really enough?

‘No way.’

No matter how rampant the sheep is, if the opponent is a tiger, that is the end.

If you find it annoying and annoying to deal with and turn your attention elsewhere, it’s fortunate, but if not, you’ll die like a fly.

There were quite a few tigers on the battlefield, and there were many moments when we had to face them. At times like that, they had to rely on the help of their leader, Deon Hardt, to survive.

‘To be exact… through sacrifice.’

Cleter, a member of the Murderous Knights, laughed bitterly as he rolled words in his mouth that were so harsh that they seemed like they would cut him.

Their captain, now an honorary count, is surprisingly capable of accurately assessing his own physical condition. It means accurately understanding the physical ‘limits’ of my body.

Considering that other people don’t even understand the state of their bodies and roll until they break down or give up before reaching their limit, it was clear that this was also an incredible talent.

Deon Hardt applied this talent in a slightly twisted way.

‘Knowing my physical limits means I can cross that line at any time if I want to.’

With just one hidden shot to kill an overwhelming enemy.

In order to catch the opponent off-guard and kill them in an instant, they instantly surpass the speed that their legs can produce and the limit of the power that their arms can produce. Afterwards, the bones and muscles were damaged and a considerable recovery period was needed.

Cleter thought it was like a bee attack.

Once you attack with all your might, you become completely defenseless.

‘Of course, recovery over time is different.’

Ah, it can be said that being able to endure the poison and pretend like nothing is wrong is also different.

Of course, it is impossible to attack or defend at all.

‘But that!’

Are you just trying to use it to subdue monsters?!

“under.”

It’s so absurd that I can’t even laugh.

Meanwhile, Milan, who was oblivious, seemed to be trying to repeat without even thinking, and then tilted his head.

“What the Count said… huh? “Not ‘take care of it’?”

“Shut up and stop me!”

Of course, the meaning of Deon Hardt’s hand signal was ‘please take care of it’, but no matter how much you think about it, that’s not true.

Is it necessary for the Count’s body to be damaged in a non-emergency situation?

“Well… then… stop the Count!”

“Stop the Count!”

“Stop the Count!”

Those who heard Milan’s voice repeat it and move, and others who heard that voice repeat it again. It took no time for the order to reach all members.

“What are you doing, you bastards…!”

“No, Count!”

“I don’t know what it is, but I can’t!”

“Let go, you bastards! “I’m going home!”

Cleter, who was watching Deon struggling while being held by the members, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

I’m glad that hand signals have become a habit for both him and me. Otherwise, it would have been a mess by now.

Deon Hardt mainly uses hand signals on the battlefield. Because of this, Cleter, who was the most calm, took on the role of observing and reporting his hand signals.

The hand signal from a little while ago means, ‘I will use that, so please take care of me as I will be defenseless.’

“What is this….”

“Haha….”

Cleter smiled awkwardly at Lien, who had a puzzled expression, and was shocked as he looked back at the subjugation, which was completed without any major problems, apart from the chaotic scene.

Dan’s face, distorted with anger and irritation, looked fiercely at Soran.

***

The first round of subjugation is over. Now all that remains is the hunting competition.

I haven’t done anything, but I’m exhausted. I crossed the outdoor social hall with a tired face. Every time I passed by, noble ladies and ladies covered their mouths with fans and whispered, but I didn’t want to pay any attention to them, so I ignored them.

tired. I need to go into the tent, even just for a little while.

“Master, are you trying to come in?”

“Yes, Lord Rien. “Take care of the situation appropriately and tie them up well so they don’t cause any accidents.”

“All right. “I will let you know when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gives his opening speech.”

“And Dan…”

“Yes.”

“You’re free until the hunting competition, so do whatever you want. … Don’t follow me.”

“…Yes….”

Dan stopped following me. His face looked a little glum, but he waved his hand away and came inside.

I put the heavy and cumbersome bag on the table, ordered outside to not let anyone in, and carefully took out the flower pot. When I faced that procrastination, I started to sigh.

“How can I really handle this?…”

Do I have to keep taking care of it like this until I return to the demon world?

However, if I participate in the hunting competition like this, I will have to go with Dan… won’t I get caught?

“I want to go home…”

He lamented the twisted situation and poked the strange creature with his finger. He didn’t seem to like it, so he wrapped a leaf around my finger and broke it.

“Ugh, this crazy bastard…! Let go. Won’t you let go?!”

“Count? What’s going on!”

“Don’t come in!”
