Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 45

It had been about three days since Tia and the others went out on their investigation, but they still hadn’t returned. Every time I went to take a request, I asked Marin, but it seemed there was still no news.

I still couldn’t shake the strange feeling in my chest, and every day was filled with unease. I took on more requests to keep myself busy, but it only distracted me for a brief moment.

About five days passed, and things finally started to move. As I was going to the guild as usual to take a request, the door suddenly swung open with a loud noise, and there stood Aisha, looking battered.

“Aisha!?”

“Ugh… Kingil…”

Her body was covered in cuts, her whole body was soaked in bl00d, and her right arm was twisted in an unnatural direction.

“Marin-san!!”

I called out to Marin in a loud voice, and noticing the situation, she rushed over.

“Aisha-san! Are you alright!? I’ll call a healer immediately!”

Marin dashed off in a hurry.

“Aisha, what happened? What about Tia-san and the others?”

“We were forced to fight the demon… Tia and the others got me to safety… and told me I needed to report to the guild…”

“Then, what about Tia-san and the others?”

“They’re still fighting against the demon…”

I remembered what Tia had said the other day

(She said fighting a demon is a suicide mission… Tia… Ruin… Haru…!)

“Damn it! Aisha, where is the demon?”

“Huh? Are you planning to go?”

“I can’t just sit here and wait!”

I didn’t know if it would make a difference if I went, but I couldn’t just stay still. Plus, I hoped that with this body, I might be able to save Tia and the others.

“Stop! You’ll just die if you go!”

“Please! Aisha… tell me where they are!”

“…Alright… here’s the location…”

Aisha looked at me and without saying another word, gave me the location.

＊＊＊＊＊

“Hah… hah… I wonder if Aisha has made it to the guild…”

“If nothing went wrong, she should have arrived.”

Tia and the others were still in combat with the demon. While conducting their investigation, they were suddenly attacked and had no choice but to fight.

“Kukuku… I let that red-haired woman escape, but I won’t let you all get away.”

The demon resembled a human, with short blonde hair, red eyes, pointed ears, a delicate body, and claws that were abnormally long.

“We won’t be able to win. Let’s stall for time and look for an opportunity to escape…”

“Hmm.”

“Understood”

Ruin and Haru faced the demon with tense expressions, and even Haru, who typically spoke in a drawn-out manner, responded in short sentences.

“Finished with the strategy meeting? It’s time to have some fun.”

“Ruin!”

At Tia’s command, Ruin fired a fireball at the demon, and not just one, but a series of fireballs were created, almost like a machine gun.

When the smoke cleared, the demon was standing as if nothing had happened, waving the smoke away with its hand.

“I knew it, this isn’t going to be easy…”

“Tia, Haru, buy me some time.”

“How long?”

“I need 30 seconds.”

“Got it, Haru, let’s go!”

“Okay!”

The two of them headed towards the demon.
