Honey, It’s Delicious~
Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
The Ogre hunt was now allowed, and adventurers rushed into the forest, each trying to get ahead of the others. Normally, hunting was prohibited, but during this time, adventurers were free to hunt as much as they wanted, and they were eagerly searching for Ogres.
Of course, Ogres weren’t just going to be easily hunted. Since it was the breeding season, they were more aggressive than usual. Even though the conditions required a C-rank or higher, every year there were still adventurers who died or got injured.
The Adventurer Guild had repeatedly warned participants this year not to overestimate their own abilities and venture too far into the forest. Ignoring the guild’s advice, Leon and the twins continued to head deeper into the forest. They knew that the deeper parts of the forest were where they could hunt Ogres more efficiently.
““There!”” (Arc/Iris)
The twins quickly spotted an Ogre. Of course, Leon had already noticed it, but he had been making the twins search for it as part of their training. Being beastkin with excellent senses of smell, their tracking skills were high. However, they still needed experience. They needed to learn how to gather information like what kind of monster it was and how strong it was, and that required training.
“Alright, let’s start with Arc.” (Leon)
“Mm.” (Arc)
Normally, the twins fought together as a pair, but it wasn’t always possible to bring it to a two-on-one fight. Leon sometimes had them fight individually for training purposes.
“Ha!” (Arc)
“!?” (Ogre)
While silencing his presence, Arc approached from behind and leapt onto the Ogre’s back, twisting its neck. The Ogre fell without even having the chance to scream. There was no need to announce their presence and then fight when the enemy hadn’t noticed them. As Leon often told the twins, it was important to take a life without being detected, just as Arc had done now.
“Well done. You’re great.” (Leon)
“Mm!” (Arc)
Arc smiled happily when Leon patted his head. Watching this, Iris looked on with an envious expression, as if saying “I want to do it too”.
After that, the twins continued hunting smoothly, without needing Leon’s help. In fact, they were currently by far the most successful in terms of the number of Ogres defeated among all the adventurers participating, but for now, Leon decided to leave that aside.
Meanwhile, Sura…
‘Leon, I got it!’ (Sura)
Hopping from branch to branch, Sura returned with a large beehive perched on her head.
The bees weren’t ordinary. They were Killer Bees, a type of monster. Their honey was known as a luxury item, and its rich sweetness once led a nobleman to rack up debts just to continue buying it, eventually causing his financial ruin.
Killer Bees didn’t attack humans directly, but they were merciless to anyone who got too close to their nests, and adventurers who could get honey from them were rare in Leon’s previous life. Naturally, there were almost none in this world. Since there were large nests scattered throughout the forest, Leon had assigned the task of gathering honey to Sura.
Due to her strong resistance to physical attacks and near-immunity to poison, Sura was the perfect candidate for this task. The Killer Bees would also serve as food for her.
‘Honey is tasty~’ (Sura)
“Honey from this area is tastier, though.” (Leon)
Leon was thinking about using the honey to bake pies later.
By the way, thanks to acquiring Class II [High Tamer], Leon had gained a few abilities, the biggest being the ability to communicate with his summoned creatures even when they were far away. It was a telepathic skill. This allowed him to understand the situation even when Sura was freely moving through the forest, and he wouldn’t have to worry if the twins got lost.
““Hmmph!”” (Arc/Iris)
The twins suddenly stopped, crouching down in a defensive posture.
“Well done. There’s a group of Ogres about 50 meters ahead.” (Leon)
There were 12 of them. Among them, there was one with a stronger presence, but Leon judged that it wouldn’t be a problem for Arc and Iris now. If necessary, he could assist them.
“Try doing it just the two of you.” (Leon)
““…Mm!”” (Arc/Iris)
The twins erased their presence and quietly approached. Since the enemy had the advantage in numbers, they aimed to take the initiative with a surprise attack.
First, Arc jumped out from the bushes. He twisted the neck of the Ogre standing in front of him, knocking it down, then immediately leaped onto the next one. The first two Ogres were quickly dealt with, but by then, the remaining Ogres had prepared themselves for combat. However, while all their attention was on Arc, Iris took the opportunity to strike from the opposite side. She, too, swiftly took down the first and second Ogres with ease.
“““Buhii!””” (Ogres)
The Ogres, furious at losing four of their comrades in an instant, split into two groups and charged at the twins.
Arc would face three Ogres, while Iris would take on four. The remaining Ogre, the one Leon had sensed was a bit stronger, was on alert, and it was scanning its surroundings. In fact, Leon was nearby, but for now, he had no intention of intervening.
“Buhii!” (High Ogre)
“Mm!” (Arc)
One of the three Ogres Arc was facing was larger than the usual type. It was a High Ogre, not just a regular Ogre.
High Ogres were an upper-tier species of Ogre, and even B-rank adventurers had a hard time with them. However, Arc had fought them several times before, and he knew it wasn’t an opponent he couldn’t defeat. Dodging the Ogres’ attacks with swift movements, he delivered precise strikes to target their weak points. In the past, his large swings based on his stats had left openings and made fighting multiple enemies dangerous, but with this fighting style, there was no such worry. It was the result of Leon’s guidance.
“Buhii!?” (High Ogre)
Along with two regular Ogres, the High Ogre collapsed to the ground.
When Arc glanced over, he saw his twin was struggling while facing two regular Ogres and two High Ogres. Just as he was about to go to her aid, the last remaining Ogre charged toward him.
“Buhuuuuuuuu!” (General Ogre)
The enraged nasal growl of the Ogre revealed that it wasn’t just any Ogre. It was a General Ogre, a higher-ranked species even beyond the High Ogre. The General Ogre’s charge hit Arc, and his small body was blown away.
