Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 6

When I opened my eyes, I saw a large, red-skinned figure standing there. I’ve only heard of them in stories, but could that be an ogre, a monster?

I’ve heard that ogres are violent monsters, but he seemed to be protecting me. When I glanced to the side, there was a goblin with its head crushed, lying on the ground.

The ogre stepped forward toward the goblins, and right away, they ran for their lives. The ogre didn’t chase them, instead, he turned back toward me. His face looked more human than monster-like.

I froze and couldn’t move.

“Uh… um… are you alright?”

“Hek?”

I hadn’t expected to be spoken to, and I let out a silly sound.

(Wait, is that… a goblin!?)

I was a little excited to see a real goblin. In games, goblins are one of the most common monsters, and now one was right in front of me.

(Ah! No, no, this isn’t the time to be emotional! I need to help her…)

I started running toward the girl. She tripped, and the goblin leapt at her. I swung my fist at the goblin that was jumping toward her.

The goblin I punched was sent flying sideways and crashed into the ground, motionless.

(Whoa! I killed it! I didn’t think I hit that hard, but its face is totally caved in!)

I panicked inside, but stood in front of the girl to protect her, glaring at the goblins.

(Hey, why are you guys still here? Hurry up and leave already!)

I thought they would run away after I took down one of them, but they didn’t, and I started to panic, cold sweat forming.

I stepped forward a little, making a loud noise to try to scare them, and the goblins scattered like spiders.

(Whew… thank goodness… they actually fled.)

I turned toward the girl behind me and, though my heart was racing, I tried to sound calm and asked her.

“Uh… um… are you alright?”

“Hek?”

The girl replied with a confused expression on her face.

“Are you… hurt? Did you get injured?”

“Ah… yes… I’m fine…”

The girl looked a bit confused, as if she didn’t understand what had just happened.

“I’m not a suspicious person, really!”

(That doesn’t sound convincing at all…)

How many people would believe a completely naked man saying he’s not suspicious in front of a girl?

“Er… thank you for rescuing me… Ogre-san?”

“Ah, yeah, no problem at all.”

“My name is Elma. What’s your name, Ogre-san?”

“My name is…”

(Name, huh… My name used to be Kanegiri Hayato, but that’s from my past life. I’m going to start fresh in this world, so I should pick a new name!)

I decided to come up with a new name.

(Kanegiri Hayato… Hayato’s too simple and doesn’t sound right… Kan… Kin… Kiri… Kill… Kin-Kill… Kingil… Kingil!)

“My name is… Kingil.”

I decided to go by the name Kingil in this world.
