Chapter 61 : Searching For The Ogre Starting From Seventeen

The THING that was forced to reveal its figure under the incessantly showering hails of light in the forest was actually an ogre wearing women’s clothes . Her stature was that of an adult human, but what made things strange were her face that had double size of a normal human’s .

「What the h.e.l.l……… . Is this guy . 」

Unpleasant feelings were starting to creep inside my mind . This demon was the one who had attacked Lilith and her party . It might wear this garment from the very beginning, or perhaps it had simply s.n.a.t.c.hed it from someone else . Or else, this demon itself was――

「Sou-kun! 」

As soon as I heard Yukihime-san’s voice and the others, my bewildered expression turned normal . I couldn’t show such expression to my comrades who was rushing to my side after all .

「Yukihime-san, look at this . 」

When she looked at the demon in front of me, she made a similar expression as I did previously . And perhaps, she had made similar conclusions as I did .

【Mop-san . Please go away from our position, and bring Kanon with you too . 】

【Roger】

Yukihime-san gave her approval when she saw our chat . If the ident.i.ty of this demon would be as we suspected, there’s no way we could let Kanon see the carnage that wais sure to follow .

「Leave this place to me, Yukihime-san . Please act as my support in case of something unexpected happened . 」

「…… . Yeah, I understand . 」

Maybe Yukihime knew of what I’m going to do . Maybe she did not . Regardless of the truth, the reason she was fine with leaving this matter to me might be because she trusted me .

「But then, you should let me in too! 」
 

Or maybe she’s not fine leaving . -sigh- I gave up . Resisting any further against her plea is useless by this point . Well, it’s fine, I supposed . I meant, it’s not like I’m letting her dealt with it on her own .

「Well then…… . . let’s go! We should start by slowly s.n.a.t.c.hing its ability to move around first . 」

At the same time as I said that, I pointed my gun toward the demon in front of me . The bullets I had shot before wereas still lodged in both of its knees and shoulders, and it’s doing a fine job in preventing the demon from moving around .

「GUGAAA！」

The ogre raised the iron club that was almost as tall as its height and rushed forward . I’d to admit to myself that I was a little nervous and excited . I meant, it’s not like the play where I’m going to play pretend in extinguishing a fake Namahage . I’m actually exorcizing a real ogre . Albeit one in virtual reality . Still . It’s real ogre nonetheless to my senses .

I activated the Thunderclap to move just right in front of that iron club .

And true to its name, the Thunderclap, my kick had arrived even faster than that iron club’s swing .

「GUUU！ ? 」

「This iron club is just a hindrance . 」

I said, firing my guns to the fingers that wereas gripping the iron club and blown it up to piece .

It didn’t change the fact that this ogre might be Kanon’s sister, Lilith . However, we had not made a countermeasure if that was truly the case . The only thing I could do right now was to make sure that she couldn’t go on a rampage right now . Anyway, I’m sure there would bewas some methods to heal the wound I’ve inflicted . Thus I focused on our priority, the immobilization of the ogre and keeping out life in tact .

But then, an unpleasant sight entered my vision .

This ogre b.a.s.t.a.r.d hasve 2 HP bars . Yet, I’m sure that it was just 1 HP bar up till now . The more alarming thing was the fact that only the lower HP bar had changed, while the upper HP bar didn’t decrease at all and was still blue in color .

Furthermore, the name of the monster wasn’t shown . While it might be because this is a special event where the monster’s status weren’t shown, I didn’t think that was the case . Besides, I have never heard of something like a monster having 2 HP bar .

「No, wait a minute . 」

A certain possibility appeared in my mind . And if my idea was correct, we might be able to do something about this ogre . No, on the contrary, if everything went well――

「Reload【Armor PiercingPT-04】」
 

It’s a type of bullet with high piercing power . However conversely it had lower damage in exchange . I used that bullet and took my aim . My aim is at the ogre who was still rolling on the ground, to be exact on its strangely huge―― Face .

「GA！ ?　GAGAA！ ? 」

The armor piercing bullets successfully pierced into it’s cheeks and ears . Moreover, because of my action, there’s finally a change .

「The face is the upper HP bar while the body are the below HP bar . 」

The face wais the huge face of an ogre . While the body was that of normal human cladded in women’s clothes . And the HP bars reacted to different body part that was attacked . However, this was just like a gamble; very uncertain .

I did not know which one was the monster, and which one was the human . . If my theory was correct, we could catch two rabbits with one stone . But if it turned out to be wrong…………

「GUOOOOO！」

Well, I didn’t have the luxury nor time to think about it right now . While it’s hard to choose since I, myself, was not really sure with my own theory, I might have lost my only chance to help if I kept hesitating .

I parried the ogre’s attack with a knife in my hand . My aim? Naturally it’s at this guy’s face . Though its huge ugle face was an easy prey for my bullets, the best way to shave its health and to prove my theory was to use a knife . As such, I used my knife to shave its health off, while looking intently at the upper HP bar that was slowly turning to red color .

Dodging its fist, I used my knife as if to sc.r.a.pe chunks of meat from it over and over again .

「GUGAAAA！ ? 」

More, faster . When the HP bar was around 11% left, the color wasn’t red anymore .

「………I wonder which one is the actual monster . 」

I got this feeling that I just heard something that I couldn’t just let go . But, this isn’t the time to care about it .

「――Yosh, now it’s only have 10% HP left . 」

Thanks to my patience, there’s almost no change in the HP bar of the body part, while the other HP bar, the upper one that was showing the head part’s health, had now entered the red zone .

Everything up till this point went according to my pl………… Eh, nothing was happening here .

「E-Eh…… . I thought it was going to turn into something else . 」

Should I reconsider my plan? Should I shave off the HP bar from the body part now?

-sigh- It couldn’t be helped then .

「Reload, Explosion Bu――」

「GOAAAAAAAAAAAAA！ ? 」

What the h.e.l.l was happening now? Rather, oi, don’t tear your head off . Blood were going to splatter from your neck you know .

With me right beside it, this mysterious ogre suddenly kept trying to tear its head from its body .

「O-Oi, your head is going to get torn you know . Your ne――」

The next moment, a chill ran over my spine . It’s neck, IT’S NECK .

「P-PLUCKED OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT! ? 」

This is impossible . Beyond logic . It’s head was plucked out .

I was shaken but the next moment, it happened, not letting my shocked heart to be able to calm down .

「Eh, it can even fly……… . What the h.e.l.l is happening here . 」

The head that I thought was plucked out kept rising, ignoring the law of gravity… I gave up . This was already beyond the realm of my understanding .

「Sou-kun…… . . That’s……… . . 」

「Please don’t ask me . I’m also as confused as you . 」

What the h.e.l.l was going on with that head? Oh well, this is already beyond the realm of my understanding . What should I do about that then? Should I bring it down?　But how in the h.e.l.l should I bring it down anyway? Please give me some clues at least? But……… .

「S-Sou-kun, look! 」

As I was drowned in the whirlpool of such thought, A voice that sounded like Yukihime-san called me .

I turned to look at her and was faced with her surprised face . I then looked towards the direction her hand was pointing at . She was pointing at the direction where the ogre’s body was left behind on the ground .

「That is……… A woman? 」

Lying on that place was a woman, not an ogre . Her face didn’t look like that of an ogre even a bit . It looked just like a normal adult woman . Her head was properly attached to her body too .

「――GE, OH s.h.i.t! 」

During the time that my attention was stolen by that woman, I lost track of the ogre’s head that was flying in the sky . I might be able to make it in time if I give a chase now, but…let’s forget it, my opponent could fly in the air after all . I’d have to set that aside for now and dealt with the woman first .

Let’s confirm her safety first . Though small, there’s a possibility of her rampaging around, so I sprinkle abnormal status potion and HP potion to nurse her . Even if she didn’t open her eyes, I see that there’s no problem with her live as long as I’m looking at her HP bar .

「Ah, Yukihime-san . Please tell Mop-san and Blue about this matter . 」

「Done just a while ago . I think that they’re going to arrive soon」

I felt relieved coursing through my body when I heard that . True to her words, soon I saw the figure of Mop-san on top of his big wild boar, and sitting behind him was Aoi-san and Kanon .

「Are you hurt, Sou-kun, Yukihime-san? 」

「We’re okay Blue . Rather, we found this woman, but as you see . 」

Everyone line of sight gathered on the woman who I carried .

「This woman? 」

Come to think of it, we had yet to tell them about what had happened in this place just now . How careless of me .

Let’s tell them about what happened in this place just a while ago . When I was about to tell them, a voice interrupted instead .

「This person…… . 」

Kanon who was timidly peeking out from behind Aoi-san back spoke . Her face looked pale, nevertheless her mouth opened properly .

Mop-san and Aoi-san who didn’t know about the situation in this place was also looking at her face with expression as if they’ve guessed something .

And then――
… .

……

…… . .

「Who are you？ 」
