The way he reacted just now, completely gave off the vibe that he can hear the voice beside him. The demon queen was even more suspicious now.She was glaring at him with her sneaky type eyes as her pupil shrunk, she was looking damn hot while being suspicious of him.Jiro on the other hand was still immersed in sniffing his body and looking at the state he was in right now." Aiyo! I am smelling so bad, I definitely should find a place and clean myself first. the First impression is the last ".Good thing Jiro spoke to himself in that rather bored tone. Because without even realizing it, he decreased the suspicion about him in her eyes. And still...She was doubtful of him. No matter from which angle she views him, he seems more than how he behaves in the front. He was weird on his own. She just can't touch that spot.Jiro felt a piercing gaze earlier but he ignored it thinking it was just his imagination and putting his all mind somewhere else.It was still early in the morning and
Jiro saw her getting pale moment by moment. Even though she was picking up with Jiro's pace, her breath kept getting hotter with every second. She may be in a soul form but had the same body as the human race. It felt weird seeing her walk as her breath kept getting hot.These were the clear signs that she needed care and treatment. " Hey! system, come out and help me. That demon queen doesn't look right, she seems to be in a bad condition. Scan this area and tell me if there's any village or resting spot anywhere near ", Jiro thought in his mind as he called out for his legendary system.For a moment, the system said nothing and kept quiet. But after a moment, it finally spoke to him. [I am sorry to say this but you shouldn't worry about that creature. Remember, she belongs to the demon clan, helping her won't do you any good]It wasn't the first time that the system had given out a warning or had told him about something dangerous. Yeah! Jiro admits that Demon Queen is quite the
After layering the different fabrics on the dust-filled ground, he dusted off his hands as his eyes examined the whole house once again, this place was full of dust and bug shelter. Even if he wants to find a different place, he surely can't do it. The demon queen was not in a good condition, moving around would only make it hard for her, and she won't be able to follow up behind him.He settled down everything for the day. He does want to reach his village soon, but can't see someone in a bad condition. So it's okay to slow down his journey, not like he would get the world trophy for reaching fast there.After seeing that everything was okay, he decided to set out and leave the demon queen there to rest. Of course, he wasn't leaving her, just going out to find some food or edible stuff and maybe find something to change into.His current look was no less than any beggar or thief. If someone is to see him in this condition, they might end up thinking he is some monster who's approach
Jiro took a sigh of relief after knowing that she was just experiencing the aftereffect of a long-stayed prison. " So she just needs to adjust to this new world, right? Alright! I get it. But if something is wrong with her, I must be the first person to know, you must tell me everything. And that too....as early as possible ".As much as Jiro was relieved to know that she was okay and just going through the change of environment and place, he was skeptical too.It was important to know her health and how much this new place can affect her.She is surely from this world and belongs here. But it was true too that she no longer had been here for the past thousand years. She was held captive in a place far from the outside world, and her habits and ability to adjoin the world has changed as well. She is no longer familiar with this world that once was her home.The system heeded his warning. [Alright! I will do as you say]But then it murmured something which Jiro failed to hear as its
The little kid spoke in a silky low voice, it was pleasing to the ears and completely matched his short and cute appearance.But wait...What did he just say? He wants to tie Jiro to a tree so that they can torture him. Jiro gulped down the saliva that was hardly there in his throat as he was already thirsty and had a dried dessert mouth and throat.Don't know why but this was giving him a bad feeling.He was just able to shake them off recently as everyone got busy with their conflicts, but this naughty child again dragged him inside ane made him the center of attraction in front of everyone.Everyone again fixed their attention on his as they stopped arguing about their current affair.Jiro could not say anything and smiled awkwardly at them, to at least show them he was not a bad guy.But who will believe him when he was in such a shabby and torn attired with so many scars over his body? Would they trust him if he was to say that he is no bad guy and nor the intruder but just a pa
It was hilarious that the system was threatening him in disguise warning him about the danger. Maybe, it does not have any ill intentions toward Jiro. But the way it speaks to him seems to have given him some bad ideas. Even though nothing bad has happened to him will date after coming to this world and the system was there to help him at every step. But for some reason, it feels like it was readying him for some big and unspoken event.The thing is....he can't touch it.[I am your system, how can you talk to me like that? Don't you have any consciousness? You should know that I am the medium between you and this world. Without me, you can do things, you will be just a piece of trash without me]Here it goes again. For a moment, Jiro thought he had made a comeback with his words and had cracked the system. But to his surprise, it wasn't the case. No matter what he says or does, this damn system seems to know everything about him.First of all, Jiro never begged or wished anyone that
The moment he got away from the villagers and was on his way to the outskirts, the robotic male voice of the system started ringing in his head. A quick notification then pooped out before him...[New Mission unlocked. Save the Demon queen...]Jiro's eyes widened in shock the moment system mentioned the Demon queen." Save the demon queen? You said she is pretty fine, just having a slight fever ".[You don't have time for all these questions, just hurry up to the location]The system firmly denied answering any of his questions and told him to hurry up to the location. Jiro was confused. Just an hour ago when he asked the system if her condition was serious or not, it firmly said everything was okay.Then what went wrong now? How come her health messed up so much?There were so many questions in his mind but the answer was none.He hurried up to the outskirts and then went inside the abandoned house. When he reached her, he couldn't believe his eyes.She had turned all pale and transp
[What happened? So you only know how to talk big huh...You still have a chance to stop at this. The punishment for failing the mission is not that cruel, you can stop here if you don't want to hurt yourself ] Jiro glared in the air with his sharp piercing intense gaze and looked at his hand once again." I have given my words already, I won't go back. It's just scratching my palm with a sharp object, nothing impossible ", Said Jiro as he closed his and slid the sharp stone on his palm.He winced a little bit as the stone touched his palm and made a little wound, blood started dripping out.Jiro opened his eyes and saw the blood oozing out, and immediately put his hand on top of her face, dripping exactly ten drops without any fail.He clenched his teeth on each other as it was painful. But the memories of Jiro getting beaten started playing in his mind, the pain of this wound was nothing in front of those wounds he sustained in the past.[Are you seriously mad or what? I told you tha
It has been more than two hours since Petal installed the EXP system Inside. Each step consists of ten steps. The more he walks, the more it will turn into energy and store it in him. But just like the Energy bar, it also has some limitations that might become disadvantages shortly. But for now, he was all settled.As they were walking futures and further, Jiro was feeling an immense kind of energy in his body, he was feeling light and more than sober. Every step he takes makes it more fun for him as if his body was set on cloud or his body was clout itself, he never felt so relaxed and comfortable before as he is feeling right now.Jiro didn't ask any questions to Petal, because he was already aware of the fact that all these changes may be because he was now using a different energy source, but who knows how long it will last? Maybe he was getting this refreshing feeling because he was aware of what he did to himself and was trying to feel it out."Congratulations, you have gained
It was clear that Ines was walking in the wrong direction, but she was in deep thought, still thinking about something that was not needed right now.And the direction they were going towards had a cliff, a slight fall, and one would go to heaven. Petal even warned him to take a turn but that did not happen, Jiro had to remind her to turn back and take that route from behind.Seeing that Ines was not reacting, Jiro tried asking. " Ines! Don't we have to take a turn from behind? We missed the chance ", Only by then did Ines come to reality and look behind."You are right. Let's go..."She walked back and then right from there. From here on, they have officially entered the forest area. Since the place, she is talking about is secluded and on the mountain guarded by wild animals and forest, it was now officially the start of the journey."What were you thinking?" Jiro asked."Just thinking about the future. As you know... it's been thousands of years since the last time I visited the pl
" I was afraid that any predator might eat it, so I took it with me. I hope you won't mind ", Said Jiro in a soft tone.Ines glanced at the unique egg in his hand, she thought for a moment and was still thinking about why this egg can make noises, but she had no answers for it." We can keep it. Back in my era, we had many powerful beasts which were priceless and had so many advantages to be taken. Even though I don't know how much the world has changed, we can keep it as a hope to get something out of it ".Ines was not against it, she even supports him if he wants to do or learn something, and she will help him with that.The world they are in right now, it's a fantasy world. A Universe filled with unknown and amazing things and creatures, the things which you cannot ever imagine can be possible when it comes to this world.People get Isekai'd and can achieve any feat if they are capable. So Jiro was full of expectation that this egg belongs to some unique creature he was unknown o
As they were returning to the living stay, Jiro asked about his energy bar which can only withstand some moves and slides. This morning, he was only able to run for two hours only, and then his body completely gave up on him the moment the energy bar hit the zero mark." Having an energy bar is quite risky, I can't even ensure how long I will be able to last long. It's as if...there's a sword hanging around my neck, one wrong move and I will die ", Jiro was concerned about this issue.With this ability, he was no more than a robot or maybe a key toy that only works when something spins the key in the main hole.[Umm! You are quite right. Having energy space is a little risky for you. You can indeed recover from the energy loss in an hour or so...but it's limiting your capabilities. Maybe...we should start the EXP system and remove the energy bar ]EXP was another option for a gamer to keep on going and this one was less risky than the energy system. Maybe this was fitter for Jiro comp
" I don't know how to coax someone. I might even end up making them more miserable and sad ", Said Jiro while looking at the neon light blue color shining egg. The egg was really interesting but the way it was making noise was quite unpredictable." But it's really weird. Why is it crying? It's crying...does it mean that there's life inside it? ".[ I think life has been formed inside the egg. And...Have you ever held a child in your arm? If you have, then you know how to talk to it...just use that method]Thinking back...the life inside the egg and a child both have no difference, both are little kids who don't know how to express their feelings other than crying and attracting attention.So the only way to stop it from crying was to talk to it in a soft tone and try to coax it, maybe a gentle touch will be sufficient to stop its sobbing.Jiro blinked several times, after hearing Petal now he was thinking about how to coax a child or how ones say good things in front of the kid. How
There was nothing particularly special in sight, except....that nest on the side. Nothing caught his eyes but the nest did." Petal! What's that? A bird nest? ", Jiro started growing close to the nest which was on the corner.The cave was all bright and had reached a dead end, yet there was a bird's nest on the side. Jiro did not think of anything and approached the nest at a slow pace.As he grew close to the nest, the weeping and crying became clear, as if it was coming from that spot.The nest was pretty small, just a little bigger than the average, with an Egg inside it. The nest was wielded perfectly around the edge so that the egg wouldn't roll out in any kind of situation.It was just the only thing in the cave which was enough to attract anyone's attention.Jiro stopped in front of the nest and looked at the egg in it, he tapped the edge of his chin while tilting his head from left to right in slow motion. In a situation like this, he doesn't know what to do." Petal! Believe
It was really strange that there was no life force inside yet Jiro was receiving signals from there. Like...isn't the crying sound enough to let you know there is someone inside? " So you are saying that there's no life force here...hmm! But then again, what are these noises that I am hearing right now? I mean...explain to me ", At this Jiro knows nothing.He just wants to know what he was hearing right now if there's nothing here. It's a baby's voice and it's crying very loudly, his eardrums have gone deaf from all the crying sounds, and the system is saying there's no one. That's crazy.[ I hear nothing ]" Huh? Do you hear nothing? For real...Just get inside my mind and you will understand what I am talking about. There's a baby somewhere around here. I am telling you, I am not lying ", Said Jiro while trying to convince him that he is not lying...not even a little bit.[Well! I won't go to such lengths. Since you are saying you are hearing strange sounds, let's go check it out. I
He was sleeping soundly until a sound reached his ears. He was awake by the sudden weeping sound. He slowly opened his eyes, it was dark in the surrounding without any light or hope. " Wah...wah..."Someone was crying, he could hear the crying noise, but who?He was still half asleep and once again looked at the surrounding, but he could see nothing other than darkness. At this point, he deemed it as his imagination and once again went to sleep.But just when he closed his eyes, the noise started ringing in his ears once again." Wah...".This time the noise was too loud that he could not hear anything else other than the weeping sound. He placed his both hands around his ears and covered them, he was sleepy, and do not want to hear anything or see anything, just want to have a proper rest.The noise disappeared. Just when he thought he had peace and closed his eyes...the weeping sounds started ringing in his head, and thus time was in continuous mode.Jiro got up and sat straight a
They both messed up the balance and fell on each other.Jiro was very light, yet she was complaining that he was heavy. " Little Boy! Can you get up? You are too heavy for me ", She was not serious, just joking with him.He hmph a little and then slid off of her body and sat down by the side. He was not looking at her, but rather staring at the sky. Ines saw his little pouty lips, what to do with this guy when he was being this cute? She just extended her hand towards his face and started squeezing his bony cheeks. " Alright boy, stop making that deadly expression. I know I was a little exaggerating but I was just teasing you, how can you not tell when facing your little body which has no flesh? Please don't be mad at me ", She said in a coaxing tone. He held her hand and slid them off of his face. " I am not mad, I just wanted to make you apologize and I succeeded in that. Let's gather some fuel for the fire ", He started laughing suddenly after hearing her apology.Ines chuckled
