Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 103

The next day, I was helping the villagers with Saki. She seemed as if nothing had happened yesterday, acting the same as usual.

“You’re a big help, Onichan!”

“No, no, it’s nothing at all.”

I carried two large pieces of wood on both shoulders and walked.

“Kingil-onichan, you’re so strong!”

Saki walked beside me, carrying several small pieces of firewood. She said they were stockpiling for the winter.

“Phew, I’ve brought quite a lot.”

I had made about ten trips, bringing several large logs back.

“Thanks, this should be plenty of firewood.”

“Okay, got it.”

“I hope we can make it through the winter safely…”

“Eh? Did you say something?”

It seemed like she muttered something, but I couldn’t make it out.

“No, it’s nothing. Thank you as well, Saki-chan.”

“Yeah!”

The ogre woman patted Saki’s head.

“Onichan! Let’s go get some food!”

“Yeah, let’s do that.”

After that, I continued to have meals at Yuzuriha’s house for several days. Since then, Saki had been coming to sleep with me every night, and by sleeping together, the number of times she had nightmares had decreased.

One day, after living like this for about a week…

That night, I was sleeping with Saki again, but I suddenly felt the urge to pee and woke up. I quietly got out of bed so as not to wake her and headed for the bathroom.

After finishing in the bathroom, as I was about to return to the room, I heard voices coming from the guest room, where Yuzuriha and a few others were talking.

“Yuzuriha… what are you going to do?”

“…”

“You don’t need to worry about us.”

“It’s not something you can just ignore…!”

“But if this goes on, Saki-chan will be in danger!”

(Saki-chan…!?)

The atmosphere felt tense, and I thought eavesdropping wasn’t a good idea, so I tried to move away. But when I heard something I couldn’t ignore, I froze.

“I understand you’re in a tough position as the village chief’s representative right now, but sacrificing that child just for us to survive…”

(Sacrificing Saki-chan…!?)

I knew they were hiding something, but it seemed the village’s situation was worse than I had imagined.

“By the way, what will we do about that guest?”

“You mean Kingil-sama…?”

At this point, my name was mentioned in the conversation.

“That onisan seems pretty strong and kind. Maybe we should ask him for help?”

“But he’s not from this village, so I can’t ask him to do something so dangerous…”

“That’s true…”

“I’ll make up some reason to have him leave this village. If he stays any longer, he’ll be in danger too…”

“Saki-chan had really warmed up to him…”

“It’s been a while since I saw Saki-chan with such a bright expression.”

As I listened to their conversation, I realized I couldn’t just leave quietly, so I opened the door to the room.

“Ah! Kingil-sama!”

“Did you hear all that, onisan…?”

In the room were Yuzuriha and several female ogres, all of whom were now staring at me.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help overhearing… What’s going on? Sacrificing Saki-chan…?”

When I asked that, Yuzuriha lowered her gaze.

“Yuzuriha…”

One of the female ogres placed her hand on Yuzuriha’s shoulder.

“I understand, I’ll explain…”

After glancing at the woman, Yuzuriha nodded slightly and began explaining what had been happening in the village, as well as Saki’s situation.
