An odd orc
|HA HA HA HA HA YES !! So this is what had been missing all this time HA HA AH AH !!|(Imperion)
|Nothing better than beating a few orcs now and then. Eali how are ya doing ?!|(Apocalypse)
|... And by my name I summon you {Wind blade}. I''m doing okay but aren''t they a little too percistent in grabbing me ?!|(Eali)
|That''s because they are goblinoid, they use female of other species to have ofspring, though unlike goblins their fertility is really low !|(Eleonore)
We are actually on an orc subjugation, those pig faced bastard set up a camp near the city and raided carriage and those kind of things. Eleonore, Eali and Imperion are with me, Imperion and Eleonore are stabbing left and right, Eail is cutting them with blades''s of wind and I am punching the shit out of them.
In the nine month I stayed here Eali became A rank and Imperion SSS rank. Of course it had been kept secret since the presence of two SSS rank adventurer in one country could cause war. If you want to ask why Lara isn''t with us it is because she went to do a quest on her own.
Anyway let''s go back to the beating up. We pretty much destroyed the camp and we are going to proceed to the cave were their boss is supposed to be. When we were walking in the cave Eleonore spoke.
|Isn''t this orc camp .... too clean ?|(Eleonore)
I turn around to see the mess of blood, guts and bones we made and raise an eyebrow.
|Ya call that clean ? Heck I even feel sorry for them.|(Apocalypse)
|That''s not what I mean. When we arrived except for the dead animals and some of their loot there weren''t any abducted women or dead bodies, orc''s camp aren''t supposed to be this clean. Something is wrong here.|(Eleonore)
I shrug and walk deeper in the cave, she is right it is too clean. There is barely any dust on the ground and the weapons seemed to have been taken care of, I doupt orcs are clever enough to do that. Heck there is even a place to grow vegetables.
We arrive at the end of the cave and enter a big room, a big orc in a well made armor. He must be 2 meters tall, not bad for an orc. What is really surprising about him is the fact that he isn''t pig faced, except for the tusk he look like a normal human .... green skinned but human, he has long black that reach his shoulder. He is far from being handsome but he is also far from being ugly, he looks intimidating.
|Well fuck me, who would have thought we''d meet a named orc here. That doesn''t explain the state this camp is but still it''s surprising.|(Apocalypse)
|Human, Grubdu is sorry but Grubdu won''t let himself get killed.|(Grubdu)
|Wow a nicer voice than expected.|(Imperion)
.... Really man that''s the only thing you say when this body of pure muscles speak to you. Though it''s true that is voice is nicer than expected and my guess was spot on he is named.
|Before we start fighting could ya tell me where did ya got this armor ? It looks like it was made just for ya.|(Apocalypse)
|....|(Grubdu)
|So ya decided ta stay silent hu. Can''t say if it because ya don''t know who did it or because ya don''t want ta tell. Anyway since ya seem ta be a fine warrior I think I want ta watch ya fight so Eleonore could ya do me the pleasure of being his opponent ?|(Apocalypse)
|I must that I am interested in fighting him as a warrior as well, his aura is quite perticular so I won''t protest.|(Eleonore)
She take a salute stance with her rapier.
|My name is Eleonore Silverblade and I swear to fight without holding back.|(Eleonore)
|I am Grubdu, will fight.|(Grubdu)
He took a shield and an axe, rather large one if you believe me. They stared at each other for sometimes and charged, Grubdu open the dance with a shield bash when Eleonore is close enough, she jump back to avoid it and he lift his axe and swing it imediatly in a roar.
Eleonore avoid it by stepping foward and on the side at the same time , she thrust her rapier but Grubdu turns to the side letting her stab the air.
|He is skilled.|(Imperion)
|Ya bet he is, but he underestimated Eleonore. Though he won''t die he will be injured.|(Apocalypse)
Eleonore takes out a dagger she had at her belt and stab Grubdu. Seriously how did she managed to get to S rank when she stabs the armor and not the place without it. She get blown away by another of his shield bash. I catch her before she hit the wall.
|That''s enough, I''ll fight him.|(Apocalypse)
|Are you looking down on me ! I can defeat him !|(Eleonore)
I kiss her.
|Shhh, It''s a bit too much for me ta see ya getting beat up even if ya''re not in danger. Now sorry sir Grubdu but I''ll be yar opponent. However I must apologize for the fact that I am not going ta go all out, it would be a pity ta kill ya without ya fighting back. Nothing personal of course.|(Apocalypse)
|Grubdu understand .... Grubdu also ... Nevermind.|(Grubdu)
I charge at him and he blocks my punch with his shield which end up shattering in pieces. I do a low kick to make him fall and he use his fall to add momentum to his swing but I also shatter the axe and pin him to the ground.
|Sorry it seem our little chat is over. See ya in the after-life.|(Apocalypse)
|STOOOOOP !|(Woman voice)
As I was going to deal the last blow a woman shouted. I turn around and see a woman in her early twenties, se has dark red hair tied in a bun and she is wearing a blacksmith apron while pointing at me with a hammer. Being the courteous man I am the first word that came out of my mouth were.
|Who the fuck are youuuu ?|(Apocalypse)
|Fimy .... Adventurer came take back Fimy, Fimy is happy ?|(Grubdu)
|Okay so she is yar girlfriend ?|(Apocalypse)
|Fimy is not.|(Grubdu)
As I say that I still watch the woman, when I speak about her being the girlfriend she blush lighlty only to hang down her head when he say she is not. Oh, fufufufufufufufufufufufu I found a new toy.
|Why isn''t she yar girlfriend ?|(Apocalypse)
|If Fimy found with Grubdu then human will hate Fimy.|(Grubdu)
|Pretty considerate for an orc aren''t ya. Ya must be Fimy right ? Come over here.|(Apocalypse)
|.... Okay...|(Fimy)
She approach me a little worried and stop once she is in front of Grubdu. I can see her grip on the hammer tightning, she is ready to counter if I attack.
|Now give him yar answer.|(Apocalypse)
She tilt her head on the side but she is not letting go of the hammer. Gosh if you don''t plan in lowering your guard don''t try to act cute it''s strange. I lift Grubdu so he can stand up, she almost swung the hammer but when she saw I was just helping him she stopped herself.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
|What do you mean by that ?|(Fimy)
|Ya know he pretty much confess ta ya saying that ya weren''t lover because tha other would hate ya so ya should tell him what ya feel for him. If ya don''t I would really feel sorry for tha poor guy.|(Apocalypse)
She was still wary of me while Grubdu wasn''t understanding what we were talking about. Suddenly Imperion put his hand on her shoulder and she flinch. She turns around to face him only to flinch again .... I think Imperion is going to pout again.
|You don''t have to worry about what you say around us. You see the guy you were talking to, this idiot named a slime and ended up creating a female humanoid slime who is surely going to join his Harem (... he seriously has too many girls around him ...), so if you are worried about a human-monster relationship then I''ll tell you live without regret, may he be an orc or a god you gotta grab him and show him who''s the best.
And if you must destroy a few city in the process .... destroy the country it''s faster and you''re sure they are no one left to oppose you.|(Imperion)
|Ya grew ya bastard.|(Apocalypse)
|Oooops.|(Imperion)
|Well anyway ya don''t have ta worry about us just tell him yar honest feeling.|(Apocalypse)
|Grubdu !|(Fimy)
Wow fuck, calm down don''t shout suddenly like that. geez she looks and shout like a blacksmith. Even Grubdu looks shocked, how do you even surpise an orc ? And she goes blushing as if her face was a tomatoes, sheesh Idgar was better than that.
|I .... ve you ...|(Fimy)
|What did ya say ? We didn''t hear !|(Apocalypse)
|Grubdu I love you !|(Fimy)
And like that his lips were stolen .... The women of this world are too agressive seriously, I am not sure if I ever initiated a ''french kiss''. I think the only thing that made so this world isn''t a matriachy is the fact that man have most of the destructive magic like fire and earth.
|Well I don''t want to urge you but that be best if we moved since it is going to smell really bad soon.|(Eleonore)
|*sluuuuurrp* what do you mean ?|(Fimy)
|Well let''s say tha only things left in one pieces in this camp are ya two, the rest is ..... well let''s say it is in a state where you don''t know if what they were at the beginning. *sniff sniff* Oh god I''m gonna puke .. Oh dear lord the smell.|(Apocalypse)
|Fresh air .... we need fresh air ... Why did I had to have a sensitive nose, By the dragons Oh fuck ...|(Eali)
|What''s up with the two ?|(Fimy)
|They kind of have a very sensitive nose so the incoming smell is really hitting them hard ..... we should really leave so you should wake your prince charming up he is still in daze from the kiss you gave him, tsk seriously shocking an orc, in what world are we living ?|(Imperion)
And they dragged us outside of the cave and away from the camp and Eleonore took care to collect their core as a proof we defeated them. To my surprise Grubdu spat on the corpses while grubling something .... pretty sure it wasn''t something like rest in peace.
While we went to the mansion Eleonore went the guild hall alone since I didn''t wanted the guards to make a commotion because of an orc. Fimy and Grubu didn''t know where we were taking them and I didn''t bother telling them just so they can be shocked. Only nobles and the guilds higher up know my face and my name since I asked to be kept as anonymous as possible .... you know if a religious country happen to know Guarmille has a Vermillion there will be a holy war and all that.
|So where are you taking us ?|(Fimy)
|It''s a secret. Anyway could ya tell me how ya met Grubdu ?|(Apocalypse)
|Oh he kidnapped me.|(Fimy)
|.....|(Apocalypse, Imperion & Eali)
Greeaaat we''ve got someone with the stockolm syndrom. Not that I''m against it but you know, that''s isn''t something yu shoud say outloud like that.
|*Ahem* So I suppose it''s ya who forged his armor ?|(Apocalypse)
|It was either smithing or getting raped by the clan ..... Grubdu told me to chose smithing for my own good.|(Fimy)
Another silence and I looked at Grubdu with both confusion and respect. Why would an orc somehow protect a human woman instead of aggressing her, furthermore he knew about smithing and that''s not something orc normaly know about since they are as dumb goblins.
|Grubdu mother human .... Grubdu mother told me things about human .... Grubdu mother hated orc but loved Grubdu so Grubdu hate orc and love human.|(Grubdu)
-_- when they say that a mother always loves their children I didn''t thought it would be so true here. But he is an orc-human hybrid .... well we met something rare today. I sigh, I won''t ask them more question because I don''t want to be shocked even more.
We arrived at the mansion and Fimy stopped walking and just stood straight with round eyes while Grubdu just stopped next to her while tilting his head on the side not understanding what was so strange. Se turned her head to me in a very stiff way.
|Don''t tell me you work for the owner of the mansion.|(Fimy)
|Of course no.|(Apocalypse)
|Ouff I thought you were going to sell us to a noble for being an exotic couple.|(Fimy)
|Of course I don''t work for tha owner since I am tha owner of this mansion.|(Apocalypse)
|Y-you''re a noble ...|(Fimy)
|A duke and a SSS rank adventurer to be precise.|(Apocalypse)
|Grubdu doesn''t understand.|(Grubdu)
|Well I guess that''s normal for an orc. Let''s say that in human society I am just under tha leader but I am also way stronger than him.|(Apocalypse)
|Grubdu doesn''t understand, if stronger why not the leader ?|(Grubdu)
|Because being the leader suck, like this I have more freedom. And ta tell the truth even my position as a duke is troublesome but by being one I can influence tha change in this country and since it seems it is possible try to make monster-human marriage legal.|(Apocalypse)
Fimy shook her head to wake up from the shock a looked at me with confusion, fear and reverence.
|Why ? Why would you do that ?|(Fimy)
|Because I''m in thea same boat as ya. Isn''t it true Glymina.|(Apocalypse)
A blue woman wearing a long green dress open the gate, she is followed by Yua who is holding Julia. The both of them are followed by six maid, the six maid are Julia personal maid, they are only 13 years old but they are the elites of the young generation, of course they are all beastmen.
Glymina comes near me and look at Grubdu and Fimy, they began to sweat enough to filla bucket .... well her power up did make her strong enough to defeat lesser dragon on her own ... I think.
|So when''s the baby ?|(Glymina)
|......|(Apocalypse, Imperion, Eali, Yualina, Julia, The maids, Fimy & Grubdu)
What is this girl saying to people she meet for the first time. While the other and me stayed silent because of the shock Fimy and Grubdu just blushed really hard and can''t say anything. An orc turn dark when blushing ... that''s interesting.
|Anyway let''s get inside and prepare you some clothing and bed. Oh and don''t bother with what she is saying ya''ll have all tha time ya want. Naturally ya''ll have ta stay here since I am not sure other would like an orc strolling around. Don''t worry tha servants here don''t discriminate and if they ever does they know that they will meet their ancestor sooner than expected.|(Apocalypse)
|Grubdu is confused.|(Grubdu)
Without further notice we entered the mansion and ate, I refrained from asking for orc steak since I''ve got the feeling it would be bad. We gave them a room next to Imperion''s room.
|Hey Imperion when do ya plan on marrying Jean, I mean you practicly have her mother blessing and ya get along, it shoudn''t be long until she get pregnant so ya should do it. Also since ya are officialy registered as my cousin ya will marry in front of tha king.|(Apocalypse)
|Hahahaha .... Seriously don''t you think that 19 years old is too early to marry .... nevermind you''re 19 years old and you have three wife, two in the making and a daughter|(Imperion)
I pat his back and go to my office. I sit down and looks at the spies report, it has been two week since we sent the spies and some of them managed to leave the country. So far they only heard rumor about powerful men and women going and leaving. They haven''t found anyone but they are getting closer.
Hmmm they also heard a rumor about the dragon beginning to get active, the holy country of Drakar is recruiting a lot of people in order to ''punish'' the earth spawn. The earth spawn are surely refering to us since the Tytin are related to earth. Do they know about us or something like that.
There is also a rumor about a war between the Elves and the dark Elves. Elves and dark Elves inherited the immortality of the dragons but the dark Elves decided to worship the Tytans while the Elves worship the dragons, so I can guess their relation are bad. The only reason why the church don''t attack the dark Elves is because as I said they are immortal therefore their warrior''s skill is .... how do I say it, so good that a group of ten dark Elf would decimate a group of 100 holy knight with ease and believe me holy knight are supposed to be equivalent to S rank adventurer.
That''s about all they have, they haven''t any rumor about the dwarves except for the fact that the weapons that comes from one of their forge city are of a better quality than usual but that''s about it.
|Sigh ... and after that there are the other continents, god why didn''t they sent us back all in one place, like that eliminating such troublesome wouldn''t have been hard.|(Apocalypse)
I look outside of my window, the sun is setting and the leaves of the trees shine in a purple color making me remember that this is a world of sword and magic I sigh once again. Almost five years have past since I came here and I have a family now. I loo at the crib where Julia is sleeping when her mother isn''t here. What would say mom and dad if they saw me like this, my old friends and my teachers.
I always say I don''t want to go back but that doesn''t mean I don''t want to see them again. Maybe I''ll go and say hi once everything is over. The device that send us to Earth and took us back here had a timer so it should be possible. I wonder how they are doing.
|That is a very lonely smile dear.|(Yualina)
I turn around and see Yualina at the door, she is still holding Julia. She is wearing her usual red dress and her hair are untied, she has a warm smile and carring eyes.
|I must have been deep in thought not ta have noticed ya coming in Yua. Come here.|(Apocalypse)
She put Julia in her crib and come to sit on my lap. I put my chin or the top of head and hug her. She snuggle herself on my chest. Eh, acting all dignified but in the end you are just as cute as the other when you want.
|Say Yua.|(Apocalypse)
|hmmm ?|(Yualina)
|Would ya like ta meet yar mother and father-in-law ?|(Apocalypse)
|As much as I want I know from Eali you are from an unreachable place.|(Yualina)
|There might be a way to travel between the worlds. I wonder how Sam and Rebecca are doing they should have had their Bac by now. Has mister Verget married miss Dirant ? Who is tha dumbass who got elected as president this time and have they finally made that flying car ... I can''t stop myself but thinking about that.
I also want to find my real mother since I doupt the dragons would have killed her. Sigh so many thing ta do. Should I just unleash the second seal or should I stay still ?|(Apocalypse)
|The second seal ?|(Yualina)
|Nevermind it''s an old joke, should we go ta bed ? The day is ending.|(Apocalypse)
|You''re right, don''t forget that''s it''s Eali''s birthday in three day.|(Yualina)
I nod and we go to sleep, Eali, Eleonore, Glymina and Lara are already sleeping ... the bed is soon going to get over-crowed I should buy a new one. I lay down and let my counsciousness drift away as I fall asleep.
