Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 5

After defeating the boar, I decided to relax for a bit.

“What should I do with this boar… I feel like I could take it with me, but it’s just too big.”

In the end, I decided to just take the boar’s tusks.

“It might come in handy as a weapon too.”

I pulled out the tusks. The sound of the meat ripping as I pulled them out was disgusting, but I managed to pull them out without any trouble.

“Phew… Anyway, I’m really hungry…”

Now that I thought about it, I realized I hadn’t eaten anything since I came to this world.

“But I don’t know how to start a fire…”

Even if I have the knowledge, actually doing it is a different matter. Striking stones together to create sparks or spinning wood to make fire through friction—I’m not skilled enough to do that on the spot.

I don’t have any cheat abilities or knowledge cheats like those often seen in isekai stories. I only know what I’ve read in books or games.

“But, what is it about this boar? Looking at it is making me so hungry, or rather, it’s making my hunger worse…”

I involuntarily swallowed.

“If it tastes horrible, I can always spit it out. I’ll just try a little bit for now.”

I used the tusk to cut meat from the boar. The meat was dripping with bl00d, and it had a strong, gamey smell.

“Mmm! Ugh! It’s tough… Ugh!”

I bit into the meat, pulling and tearing it, chewing the torn bits several times.

“Munch… munch… It’s not bad… But it’s not exactly delicious either… Well, it’s not like it’s seasoned or anything.”

However, I was able to eat it without particularly minding the bl00d-like smell and other things that would usually be unpleasant. Before I knew it, I had finished about a kilogram.

“Before, I’d be stuffed after eating a 150g steak at a steakhouse…”

Feeling somewhat satisfied, I stood up with the tusks in both hands and started walking again.

“I wonder if that boar was a monster… well, I guess there are monsters in this world since I’ve turned into an ogre…”

I hope I’m not the only monster in this world, but if I am, it’s going to be questionable whether I can even fit in.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

I heard a woman’s scream echoing through the forest.

“A woman’s scream!?”

I ran toward the direction of the sound, and there was a girl being attacked by a green creature.

“Don’t come near me!! Someone! Someone help me!!”

The girl was desperately swinging the basket she was holding.

(Is that… a goblin!?)

The green creature was a goblin, a monster that’s super famous in fantasy worlds. It had green skin, a small, humanoid body, no hair, pointed ears, and was holding something that looked like a club.

The goblins were chasing the girl around, yelling and screeching loudly.

“Kya!”

The girl tripped over a tree root sticking out of the ground and fell.

“Gyaaaaaa!”

The goblin leaped toward the girl.

“Noooooooo!”

The girl crouched down, clutching her head.

“…?”

Wondering why nothing had happened to her yet, the girl opened her eyes and saw a red ogre standing in front of her.
