How To Live In A Different World Volume 2 Chapter 13

The 13th Story: Buffalo

"Big catch, big catch" [Yoji]

I got 43 goblins and orcs' ears tied together while I sat on a rock and ate my late lunch.

Unfortunately I didn't find any kobolds.

I have not seen one, but according to what I heard they have a dog's face.

I heard a time that they have a strength level similar to the orcs.

Well, what I am eating right now is a roasted rabbit with salt and pepper.

When I was about to take a break, I saw the horn rabbit so I just fired an arrow at it.

In the end I got the roasted rabbit.

I cut it with a knife and cooked it with a fire arrow (Weak).

I could suppress the power for the purpose, it was a bit weird.

Well, if I used such magic in front of a true magician he would become angry, but there is no worry as I am alone. [1]

Then I sprinkled some pepper and salt and started to eat it.

Even in Thales Village the horn rabbits were frequently hunted, and the meat brought for the children to dinner.

For the time being, I will take it easy as I already reached the planned quota for today.

I will sleep with my back on a big rock while looking at the clear sky.

When I look at the sky, it is just like I still am in j.a.pan.

The actual season is spring, so it feels good.

Since I hunted the surrounding goblins and orcs there shouldn't be any danger.

I started to feel nice as time pa.s.sed by.

I kept looking at the sky like that for around 1 hour.

""Someone, help!""

I heard multiple voices shouting so I stood on the rock.

Five persons looking like adventurers are running, the distance is around 500 meters.

Behind them is a big black shadow, around 4 meters big, and it is closing in on them.

Looking closely at the shadow with Hawk Eyes, It is a Buffalo.

I saw one of those when I was escorting.

At that time I saw it, and I thought that it had a decisive weak point and I could defeat it easily, but I decided to wait for Mare-san's instruction, but we ended avoiding it.

But now I can't avoid it.

The adventurers running are young children, around the age of 15 years old.

I begin to appoint the skill points to earth magic to counter the buffalo, and the rest to agility and run towards the adventurers.

"Hey you! Don't stay together, scatter and shoot at it!" [Yoji]

I shout to the five adventurers running away.

The five of them scatter in an open fan after hearing me.

The Buffalo stopped for a moment after it had lost its objective, and eventually set a child running away as its objective.

I change the direction and run towards the targeted child.

I somehow managed to reach the child before the Buffalo.

"Run straight as it is!" [Yoji]

I shouted at the child again, the child nodded and then ran away.

The distance to the Buffalo is around 50 meters.

I opened my arms wide, with a short spear in my right hand and a short sword on my left.

The Buffalo closed the distance up to 20 meters and starts to appraise me as if scowling.

The Buffalo seems frustrated as it began to dig out the soil with its nail.

(Ok! It stopped!)

I thought so and began to cast the earth magic.

The Buffalo is still intimidating me by digging out the soil with its nail.

Then it took its foot forward in preparation to rush at me.

"Earth wall!" [Yoji]

When I cast the magic, an earth wall of 1 meter high appeared in front of the Buffalo's eyes.

However, the Buffalo avoided it by jumping calmly and landing is it?

*BAKIBOKIBAKI*

A very loud noise sounded.

The Buffalo was rolling forward with its tremendous momentum.

This is what actually happens.

Actually, before casting earth wall, I was casting an earth pit between the Buffalo and me.

In other words, from the point of view of the Buffalo, the earth wall was hiding a pit fall so it couldn't see.

Then, while keeping watch of the timing and the distance, I waited for the Buffalo to come, and made an earth wall that I thought it could easily jump over.

At the moment of landing, the Buffalo didn't have any ground to land, and the two forefeet fell into the hole, so according to the principle of the lever the buffalo fell. [2]

"A cow isn't my enemy after all" [Yoji]

Honestly, I didn't expect such a good result, so my inner thoughts escaped my mouth.

I approached the Buffalo; it looks like the forefoot is gone.

It seems that its forefoot broke apart in the middle of the rolling.

The Buffalo kept struggling and trying to stand while I pierced its head many times with the short spear.

While stabbing the Buffalo I saw the five adventurers that ran away coming closer.

""Great, truly amazing, onii-chan""

""Thank you very much. Truly thank you""

The five adventurers praised me for knocking down the Buffalo and thanked me many times.

Quite hard to translate, I am a.s.suming the Buffalo managed to land the front feet, but the momentum of the landing made it so that its stance broke and it fell and rolled. Return to reading
