Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 47

While Tia’s party was fighting the demon, I was running.

(Hurry! Run! Faster!)

Since reincarnating into this world, I was finally using my full strength for the first time. Because of this, I was running at a speed that far surpassed what a human could normally achieve. I don’t think I ever reached this speed even when riding in my parents’ car in my previous life.

At this moment, Kingil didn’t realize it, but until now, he had been using his power based on his past life’s senses, so his strength had been somewhat restrained. Now, as he desperately moved, his true strength given by the goddess began to emerge.

As a result, a journey that would normally take two to three hours was completed in just about five minutes.

(I see it!)

I caught sight of a man, who seemed to be a demon, holding Tia.

(Tia!)

The demon was about to stab Tia with its claws to kill her. I ran at full speed and punched the demon in the face. The demon was sent flying, and before Tia hit the ground, I caught her in my arms.

“Thank goodness… I made it in time! Tia, you’re still alive, right?”

Tia looked at me with an incredulous expression, as if she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

“K… Kingil… dono?”

“Yes, it’s Kingil! I came to rescue you!”

She was in a terrible state, with her right hand missing from the wrist, but I felt relief knowing she was still alive.

“What about Ruin and Haru…?”

“They’re…”

Tia checked the two with her eyes, and I followed her gaze to confirm their positions. After sitting Tia down with a rock as her backrest, I headed toward them.

Ruin was unconscious but still breathing. She had just fainted. I picked her up and laid her next to Tia.

“Ruin!”

“She’s okay. She’s just unconscious.”

“I see… Thank goodness…”

I quickly rushed to Haru. She was conscious, but her injuries were more severe than Ruin’s.

“K… Kingil…-chan…? cough cough!”

“Haru! I’ve come to rescue you!”

I carried Haru just like Ruin and took her over to Tia’s side.

“Haru! Are you alright?”

“Tia…chan… yeah, is Tia-chan… okay too?”

“Yeah, she’s fine.”

All three of them were in terrible condition, but it seemed they weren’t in immediate danger of dying, so I sighed in relief. As I was thinking about how to carry them, I heard a voice from behind.

“Hoh, a unique of the ogre species, huh? To think you’d be able to wound me, you’re quite something.”

The demon wiped the bl00d dripping from its mouth while walking toward us.

“Kingil-dono, run! Don’t worry about us!”

“There’s no way I could do that!”

“Is it alright to be looking elsewhere?”

I heard a voice nearby, and when I looked in that direction, the demon was right in front of me. The next moment, a sharp pain shot through my cheek.

“Ugh!”

Since coming to this world, this was the first time I had felt pain.

(It… hurts…!)

At that moment, I suddenly couldn’t move. The fear of pain and the fear of death suddenly became a harsh reality, and honestly, I had underestimated it. I had relied on this body too much. Although I had fought many monsters until now, I had always been the hunter.

I had always been the hunter, and now, for the first time, I was experiencing an equal exchange of life and death.

(It’s… terrifying… my legs won’t move… I’m paralyzed…)

My legs were shaking uncontrollably, and my breath was ragged even though I wasn’t doing anything.

“Huh? What’s the matter? Have you been struck with cowardice?”

The demon turned toward me with a curious expression on its face.

“I thought you would be interesting… what a disappointment…”

Saying that, the demon turned its back on me and headed toward Tia and the others.

(This is bad! I have to do something…! Move! Please move!)

In my mind, I was trying to move, but my body wouldn’t listen. The demon was already in front of Tia and the others, and it raised its claws.

“Ugh… ugh… uaaaaaaaaah!”

Snap!

I heard something snap inside my head.
