How To Live In A Different World

"Mr. Mare, STOP!!

I stopped the merchant squad out loud.

"Yoji, what's wrong!

Mr. Mare confirms when he realizes I have never been loud and nervous.

"Gather the gals, please. I need to talk to you for a second."

"Okay. I'll gather them right away. Just a minute."

Of the three carriages of the merchants, the five gals mainly guard the rear, so my voice will not reach them.

Run and Mr. Mare goes to get it.

We'll all be in front of the lead carriage in about ten minutes.

"Was there something wrong?

Gal asks me when everyone is in a state of silence.

"I am about 3m tall, my skin is green and my first one, my legs are short, my arms are long and I have a long, long bump. Grab a stick and be 5 km ahead on the street. I don't know my name, but if I do, there are two big, strong guys."

Tell them what you just saw.

"He's a troll."

Mill responds instantly.

"What kind of guy is it?

When I hear it, Naria explains it in detail.

"The first in green is the type of troll called the Gallian species, which is relatively quiet in the troll. The basics can be flaunted by arm strength, beaten with a stick, or thrown a rock at you. It's just..."

"What is it just?

"When I look at people, I follow them obstinately and eat..."

That's what Naria answers.

Seriously!?

Cannibals...

"Don't you have a weakness?

"My legs are poorer than my basic hands, so I don't think I can catch up if people do their best. I remember, but I've heard it should be mounted on my back."

Naria explains a little less herself.

"What do you think, Mr. Mare, why don't we wait a little while before they move?

I turn my face to Mr. Mare and ask him.

"Okay. In the meantime, if we can get through this, let's do it."

So I decided to see how it went for three hours.

While I was watching, I had a few concerns.

First of all, I can't see it hidden because of the large rock, but I can see the roof of the carriage chilling.

The whole thing is looking at the sky completely on its back on the road, and the other one is relaxing with a rock on its back.

Leaning on the rock was better, I grabbed something.

"Mmm!? People's feet? Shit, he's squirting his legs."

It's been three hours, but there's no sign of them ever moving.

I decided to get everyone together again to talk to them.

In the meantime, I told everyone that I had observed it during the course of three hours.

1. Another carriage is under attack

2. He's eating people

There's no sign of movement in either of the three or two bodies.

Hearing it, everyone turned down and shut up.

In silence, my thoughts spoke of speculation.

"I think they're ambushing merchants and people through the streets."

Naria said about it,

"I guess so. I think he remembers how people taste and waits for his next prey to come."

Mill asks Mr. Mare a question.

"Mr. Mare, can't we avoid the streets?

"Hmm, that's hard. You need to go through the Devil's Forest to get over there. That's more likely than them to encounter a lousy demon. Besides, we can't just overlook the other merchants being attacked."

Everyone shut up.

So I turn to Gal to tell him what I've come up with.

"I have a proposal for you, here's the operation. First he shoots through the eyes of the guy I'm leaning against a rock with a bow. In the meantime, add a provocation to the guy Gal and Kea are sleeping with, and pull away. While we're pulling apart, I'm gonna take one down, and then the three of us are gonna take down the other one."

"What, can you take him down on your own?

Naria answers with a surprised look.

"I think I can probably. If you look closely at them, you see weaknesses."

"What do you mean?

Kira listens.

"That's what Naria said earlier about attaching it to their back, but if you look closely, they can't get their arms around their back. He's got an itch on his back, he's sleeping on a rock, he's doing it."

"But how do you attach it to your back?

Naria asks.

"With arrows and short swords, we'll figure that out."

"So what about Mill, Kira and Naria?

When Mr. Mare asks,

"The three will remain in the carriage escort. Because we risk being attacked other than by trolls."

When I answer that, the operation is settled.

Then the crusade begins.
