“Are you looking for a Demon King-like name?” (Orgia)

“Yes, I realized while talking to Orgia-san that it’s difficult when people call me. Also, I’d like a name. I hadn’t realized that I hadn’t decided on one until I met you, Orgia-san, since I didn’t have anyone to talk to until now.”

“I see, so you’re looking for a Demon King-like name. However, it’s quite difficult. If it’s a true Demon King, that would mean a high-ranking Demon King, but most of them are still active. Even previous Demon Kings were always eventually defeated by human heroes, so it’s hard to say they had a good name.” (Orgia)

“I see. Was your name given to you by your parents, Orgia-san?”

“No, no! To my embarrassment, both of my parents were low-level demons, Goblins, so they didn’t have the intelligence to give me a name. I got this name when I was a mid-level demon, Hobgoblin, from an adventurer I killed who had that name. I don’t know the meaning of it, but I liked the sound of it, so I’ve been using it since then.” (Orgia)

“Is it okay to take someone else’s name? Should I think about it later? But I’m curious, didn’t the low-level Goblins have any intelligence? When I first saw them, they were hunting in groups.”

“It’s not that they have no intelligence, but it’s very low. They can use words, but they mostly act on instinct. Most demons at the first rank have almost no intelligence. Well, there might be some, like me, who are very curious and awaken their intelligence early. Most demons awaken their intelligence after evolving to the second rank and can immediately tell the rank of others.” (Orgia)

“So, that’s the rule? It seems that Orgia-san is showing me respect, but when I first met the pack of Kobolds, they pointed their spears at me.”

“Haha, those who don’t know their place tend to die quickly. Considering they were holding spears, they probably got arrogant after gaining an occupation.” (Orgia)

“I’d like them to stop.”

It shortens my lifespan.

“Speaking of occupations, do you have an occupation, Orgia-san?”

“Yes, it’s one I obtained by chance. Well, it’s lunchtime, so why don’t we go outside and hunt? It might be easier for you to understand if I show you.” (Orgia)

“That sounds good. After all, with Orgia by my side, there’s no danger outside. Let’s also gather a lot of fruit.”

“Then, please watch.” (Orgia)

Orgia stopped a little distance from the hill and raised his fist to face level, assuming a stance. I looked around, wondering if there was an enemy, but all I could see were trees and fruits. I couldn’t spot anything suspicious.

“Where is your weapon?”

“I forgot to mention, my occupation is ‘Fist Fighter.’ Since the condition is to fight with fists, I can’t use weapons if I want to use my occupation.” (Orgia)

“Ah, I see.”

So, using an occupation requires certain conditions.

“Yes. First, this is a skill I learned as a lower-level skill, ‘Flick Punch’.” (Orgia)

Orgia kicked a stone on the ground, punched it, and sent it flying forward. Then, shortly afterward…

Fugii!

A scream was heard from beyond the trees.

“As expected, ‘Fist Fighter’ has a short range, but there are also projectile-like skills. If I use them, I can send things flying to the intended target, so they come in handy.” (Orgia)

Next, a roaring sound and the pounding of footsteps echoed, shaking the trees ahead. I could tell something was charging toward us. Orgia didn’t seem concerned at all and took another stance. This time, he did nothing and simply threw a punch. However, there was nothing in range for the punch to hit.

“That was the intermediate skill ‘Sonic Punch’.” (Orgia)

I couldn’t tell exactly what had happened, but one thing was certain. The pounding footsteps stopped, and the trees were shaking but didn’t fall anymore. After a short time, a large boar appeared, bleeding from its face but still exuding hostility.

“How was that? It’s a skill that lets you send the force of your punch over a distance to hit your opponent. Actually, I like skills that expand tactical options like this.” (Orgia)

Despite the large boar charging toward him, Orgia smiled and explained, showing no sign of concern. The boar charged fiercely.

Orgia accurately struck the boar’s jaw with a kick, then ruthlessly pummeled its unguarded belly with punches. The boar spewed blood from its mouth and died. Meanwhile, Orgia wiped the sweat from his forehead, as if finishing light exercise.

“Normally, I would have wanted to finish it with an advanced technique, but I’ve only acquired ‘Beginner Fist Fighter’ and ‘Intermediate Fist Fighter’.” (Orgia)

“No, no, I saw plenty. Thank you very much.”

I was truly grateful that Orgia-san wasn’t an enemy. I wholeheartedly thanked my past self.
