Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 44

“Ugh~ my back…”

“Phew~ that was amazing~”

While Aisha rubbed her back in pain, Haru was laughing happily.

“It’s already morning, isn’t it?”

“Kingil-chan, you’re so insatiable~”

“Haru… you’re just as bad…”

Aisha was rubbing her eyes sleepily.

“For now, I’m going to sleep.”

“Yeah~ I’m definitely tired too~”

Haru yawned, looking sleepy.

“Then I’ll head back to the inn.”

“Yeah, Kingil, see you later.”

“Kingil-chan♪ Let’s do it again soon~”

As soon as I returned to the inn, I went straight to sleep.

When I woke up, it was already past noon, and feeling hungry, I headed to the guild to get something to eat.

When I entered the guild, the atmosphere inside seemed a bit frantic. The receptionists, who are usually either helping adventurers at the counter or sorting papers, were running around in a panic.

I was considering going to another place when I spotted Tia, so I called out to her. She had a serious expression on her face.

“Ah, Tia-san, hello!”

“Hmm? Ah, it’s Kingil-dono.”

She noticed me and softened her expression slightly, but then she began looking towards the counter again with a serious expression.

“Did something happen?”

“Hmm… it seems that a demon has appeared…”

“A demon?”

“Kingil-dono, you’re not familiar with them? A demon is…”

Upon saying that, Tia explained about demons. Apparently, there’s a demon realm in this world where the demons live, and occasionally, they come to our world.

“They look just like humans and speak human language, but what they do is no different from monsters. They are a vicious race that enjoys destruction and slaughter.”

“Are those demons strong?”

“Yes, it depends on the demon, but generally, it’s said that it takes several A-rank adventurers to deal with them.”

“I see, so that’s how it is.”

“They don’t usually group up and prefer to act alone. It’s possible to defeat them by overwhelming them with numbers, but whenever a demon appears, there’s always significant damage.”

“Why do demons come to this world?”

I asked Tia, but she shook her head.

“I don’t know… why they come to this world, or what their purpose is… Maybe there’s no meaning to it at all.”

“Do you and your party fight them?”

“No, we are a B-rank party. It’s frustrating, but fighting them would be equivalent to suicide.”

Tia’s expression contorted with frustration.

“Our job is to identify the areas where demons are appearing. The guild is looking into traces of demons right now, and afterward, we’ll head out to narrow down the locations.”

“Should I help out as well?”

“No, Kingil-dono, you’re rank D. This is a request for B-rank or higher, or for a B-rank party or higher.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, we intend to head out as soon as we finish preparing.”

From the counter, Marin walked over to us.

“Tia-san! We found them, the traces are around here.”

“Hm, understood! We’ll head there immediately to investigate.”

“Please be careful.”

“Yeah.”

After nodding, Tia made her way toward the door.

“Well then, Kingil-dono, I’ll be off.”

“Tia-san, please be careful and come back safely.”

“It’s just an investigation, it’s not something dangerous.”

After saying that, Tia departed the guild, but I couldn’t shake the strange feeling in my chest.
