Volume 5 - Ch 5.02
The damn thing was moving at least three times as fast as a normal human! And in an instant, it disappeared from my sight even though I was trying to make sure that I am not going to let it out of my eyes for even a single second.
However, there is no doubt that it existed. Whatever that thing was, it was definitely here before my eyes. I am certain of it. It was here, in this home, in this kitchen. But now it has ran away.. No, it did not run. I think it was more of a strategic retreat, a withdrawal to change its position and possibly attack from yet another angle.
I thought that the monsters were showing up mostly in the Labyrinths and wildernesses so that I would only have to worry about human enemies like Thieves and Bandits outside of them, but apparently I was mistaken in thinking that.
I thought that human beings infesting the earth and this different world were like cancer cells in the healthy tissue of the world, but they were definitely not. Now I know that there are forces far more powerful and evil inhabiting the mortal plain, both in my old world and in this new one. The enemies of mankind, the strongest, the worst, most foul and deadly creatures that are more like sentient lethal weapons rather than anything else.
This different world was not a safe haven for humankind. Eventually, we the humans will lose the survival race and will be either killed and go extinct or we will be forcefully driven out of the lands that we thought were our home, only to find out in the absolutely worst way possible that nothing in this world is truly ours, and we are only borrowing it because we are allowed to do so.
Because in this world, there are the absolute beings who stand at the top of all living things in the food chain.
U. ugh. Uwaaaaa.!
Unable to bear it any longer, I hurried back to my bedroom. I ran away from the kitchen and buried myself in the sheets of the bed while my entire body continued to shiver and tremble, so in order to stop it from doing so, I hugged Roxanne as hard as I could without actually hurting her.
My God, I am so relieved that she is here with me and that I can do this to her to calm myself down. If she was not here for me like that, then I do not know what I would have done, but I definitely know that it would not have been nothing good, because the fear would have caused me to revert back to my old self from before I started this new life in a different world.
But now that Roxanne is here, I know that everything is going to be all right. As long as I have her bombshell body right next to mine, there is nothing in the world for me to be afraid of.
Uhm.. what is wrong, master? Did something happen to you?
Roxanne gently puts her hand on my back and asks me, just like a mother would her child after it came up crying to her in the middle of the night because it had a nightmare.
I saw it. It was there. In the kitchen!
Good morning, master. Diddid something happen, by any chance? Because you are looking quite upset.
My suspicious behavior was noticed by Sherry.
No, nothing much happened. It is just that I saw it last night.
And by it, do you perhaps mean a black thing that seemed to be scurrying around frantically?
Yes, that is right! That was exactly it!
As expected of an intellectual type like Sherry! She knew that the name of that thing should not be spoken out loud. I am so proud of her and her intelligence.
So it finally came out, huh? I was wondering if this would happen sooner or later after you rented the house, but it would seem that the time has come now, and the battle is about to begin.
A battle? Are we really going to fight that thing? And how?
And more importantly: can we really fight it?
Purchase the leaves of Shiyurab in the Guild, and then finely chop them. Once that step is done, you have to boil it down until it becomes a sticky paste out of which you are going to be making dumplings, and they are going to be your weapon with which you are going to fight that thing.
Ohhhh. So we are essentially going to be making something like the oxalic acid dumplings? So there seems to be pesticides in this world as well.
And if we do that, then we are going to be safe, right?
You are going to have a weapon for fighting it, but it is not going to be a perfect one, not by a long shot. The leaves of Shiyurab are basically tasteless and odorless, so in order to enhance them properly you are going to have to add flour, sugar, various vegetables, soup broth and other things to make it as appealing as possible, because otherwise it might not be lured into eating it. That being said, the enemy is not that stupid, and once it remembers the taste and the smell of the dumplings it will stop eating them, which is why we have to change the recipe all the time in order to fight it off little by little. This battle is going to be a long one, possibly lasting forever in worst case scenario.
