Part 1

「……YAH！！ 」

It was a girl who's vigorously throwing herself toward the Bone Man《Skeleton》while shouting in a loud voice.

The thing she’s wearing is――It’s Cheap pelt armor and a cheap-looking sword, she might be a beginner iron rank adventurer.

For me, who knows many names and faces of the adventurers in Malt city, the meaning of a face which I don’t know is nothing but that.

Though things like iron rank adventurer is nothing more than an annoying rival who will surpa.s.s me sooner or later if they do it after me, speaking of why I remember their faces, it’s because they’re endlessly trying to cause trouble like reporting false charges or the guy who’s looking down on me knowing my talent.

When it comes to that, I firmly remember their name and face, and in the future I’ll remember where they live, the people they know, and their position.

As an adventurer, I don't have that much talent in terms of physical ability but, if there was one, rather than talent it’s more to drafting a tactic or memorizing, so I can easily crush the plan a.s.sembled by those iron rank guys.

Which means the adventurers with higher rank than me in Malt is just like that, since they know the cunning part of me, they never needlessly meddle in my affairs.

That’s why as a result I’m increasing the quality of Malt adventurer itself, even if the excessive baggage stopping or keep doing it as a lower rank adventurer with long term period as much as 10 years, so the Adventurer Guild《Guild》 is in the end didn’t say anything. [TL : Not too sure about this line–>結果として俺はマルトの冒険者の質の向上にそれなりに寄与していたので、十年という長い期間低位冒険者をやってもやめろともお荷物だとも冒険者組合《ギルド》からは言われずに済んだ。]

Which means that my planning skill should be kept.

So, it's about the adventurer girl fighting.

She’s running at a glance, from every movement of her equipment, she’s quite unskilled.

If I must say it honestly, I can even say “Isn't she even weaker than the me when I was alive“.

Well, no matter how I’m a low grade copper rank adventurer, I’m powerful if you compare me with iron rank.

No need for being meticulous means that there is no need to say the certain skill level to safely beat it, Bone Man《Skeleton》 is easy. [TL : Not too sure–> 骨人《スケルトン》を簡単に、とは言わないまでも危なげなく倒せる実力というのは伊達ではないのだ。]

In case of an ordinary person, they must have resolution to die if they meet a Bone Man《Skeleton》, two in case of iron rank, otherwise three, they must have a margin if they can’t beat it.

As for me, who keeps going solo, well then you should be able understand how powerful I’m right.

And then, looking from the eyes of that me, the adventurer girl in front of me is weak.

In short, though she did her best in a battle against the Bone Man《Skeleton》, at this rate she’ll be defeated with just one mistake.

She’s nothing more than that.

But, well, even if I say novice, the adventurer also degenarated.

When push come to shove, there’s a method called retreat with one feet of escape.

That’s why I'm not too worried.

But.

――OiOI.

I understand the unskillfull walking of the girl when I’m seeing her for a while.

She never though of something like when push come to shove, the strategy she adopted is the so called, just “Keep pus.h.i.+ng forward“.

But, in addition to that her real ability is not enough, the girl is slowly being cornered.

And then, inside the labyrinth with nothing but a narrow pa.s.sage is fatal.

The girl is being cornered again and again, and then.

Part 2

“DON”, she noticed that her back is against the wall.

That’s is the situation that will happen if you keep fighting without looking at your surrounding.

And for a swordsman like her, she needs more room to swing her sword.

Seeing that she already lost that s.p.a.ce, her future is decided by this point.

It’s a fact, the Bone Man《Skeleton》 who fought her is happily stretching it’s hand to her.

Since it has no weapon, it might be attacking it’s opponent with simple physical power.

But, even if rotten, Bone Man《Skeleton》is still a monster.

That physical strength will blown them in one attack if it’s a novice adventurer without defensive gear, it’ll turn into a deadly attack which will lead to death if it hits a vital spot.

In short, she might be dead for sure if that attack hit her.

I couldn’t help but think that way.

Of course it doesn’t means, “It can’t be helped even if she dies just like that“.

I, who was watching in silence, it means that I can’t just show myself and take a risk to save her.

Even though I’m quite excited when coming to this place, my head is cooled down when I see a human who's alive.

Even if I appear before her just like that, it might be resulting in nothing but me being treated as a monster right, I can roughly guess that there might be no conversation.

But, nevertheless, my feeling just couldn’t let me to see someone die before my eyes.

No matter how much of my body becomes that of a monster, my heart is still that of a human.

As long as it’s not an extremely annoying guy, if there’s someone whose life is in danger, I must come to save them.

That’s even more if it’s a novice adventurer who can be said as my junior.

Yes, that’s why.

「……UGAAAAAAAAAAAAAA！ ！ ！ ！ 」

I’m appearing with loud voice and pulling the attention of the Bone Man《Skeleton》 from the girl.

Whether this is effective or not is a gamble.

Anyhow, I’m obviously a corpse eating demon《Ghoul》 at glance.

As far as a monster is concerned, just how effective is the loud voice of a monster to be able to pull the attention of another monster.

It’s just that up till now, the time when I was fighting with a skeleton body, every one of my opponent attacks when they found me.

I wonder why, even if we’re a fellow monster, or I might be different, though that the probability of me making this attempt and success is high.

And then, I won the gamble.

The skeleton who was about to attack the adventurer girl was turning its head and facing toward my direction.

The adventurer girl is opening her eyes in astonishment due to this situation.

Since the skeleton is turning it’s back to the enemy, she’s slas.h.i.+ng at it as it is, though she might think that the skeleton movement is stopped due to surprise.

Part 3

It can’t be helped, I raised my sword overhead and go toward the skeleton.

Since I’m gonna settle this immediately, I’m using the power of qi that feel like retaining to give a rise in my offensive ability.

Well, it’s because I feel that the amount of qi in my body have increased after becoming a ghoul, I have this feeling that it won’t run out with just one or two use.

The sword which I raised overhead is swung downward in accordance to the move that I mastered over long periods of training and then, it cut through and break into a straight line in the skeleton body, a moment later, each part of the skeleton is divided right by half.

「……Amazing……」

The adventurer girl is looking with a dumbfounded expression as she sees the last moment of the skeleton.

That is so right.

Despite no matter how weak the skeleton entering the category of weak monster, there’s no case in which the swordman put an end of it by splitting it right in half.

If anyone see that, of course they’ll be surprised.

Yeah.

I mean me.

What the h.e.l.l is this.

EH.

Have I become that powerful？

Right after I cut the skeleton, I got those kind of feeling above despite I’m the one who did it.

Though I think there was power in my attack, it’s this strong huh.

If it’s in this kind of condition, could it be that the day in which I become vampire might be close by？

I noticed that my hope is within my sight.

And then, I suddenly remember.

That’s right, rather than that, now the adventurer girls side.

Was she alright……….

And, I tried to say various things with my throat, come to think of it, I recalled once again that I’m currently a ghoul.

She might throw herself at me if I’m unskillfully approaching her.

I can’t let that happen.

…… What should I do.

When I’m thinking about that as I’m looking at her, sure enough, she was staring at me and taking a stance with her sword.
