Chapter 11: The Daily Life of an Eight Year Old - King of the Meadow
When I returned to the others, Roland was yawning and whispering to me.
“Don't get too far away from me, kid.”
"I was taught about herbs by Danil. Follow me if you are an escort."
Don't complain about me while resting. But I've noticed that he has been watching me.
Markant, listening to such a conversation, opened his mouth while biting the dried fruits.
"Medicinal herbs? Do you have any of those?”
“Yes, we do.”
For some reason, Danil bitterly smiled back.
Markant looked around, his mouth curved into a crooked smile. Looking at the situation casually, his gaze passes through the General Grass and Falafel Grass neatly. This guy, no way.
“Could it be that you can't tell the difference between medicinal herbs?”
"Hahahaha!"
He laughed and turned his head away.
"Well, that's why I went up to C rank. Most of the time, I think everyone helped me."
When I looked at "Battle Axe of Destruction" with amazement, only Valerie suddenly turned away. Oi.
Danil shakes his head
The two of you have always been unskilled at this.
"They have always been bad at it."
"Because all of them look the same. I was told that even if I collected it, it was all poisonous!"
All poisonous is ...... more of a talent.
As Danil and I were laughing together, Ose stood up suddenly.
The sudden movement drew everyone's attention.
He stared at the forest in silence and ran off without a sound.
Markant turns his head and grabs his axe, while Valerie and Danil also put their hands on their swords. Roland takes up a position in front of me, ready to shield me. Clearly in a battle stance.
What's out there?
There's no sign of anything around.
What's going on?
"Well. It looks like something is coming, but please step back for a moment.”
As soon as Roland had finished, Ose came running back.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
“It's Eras Rhino! It's on its way!”
“What? We're in the forest!”
Markant was surprised but instructed me to get back. "Get back!" he instructed.
Roland left "Battle Axe of Destruction" in their place and moved back with me.
The sound of trees snapping echoes through the forest.
The earth rumbled and vibrated slightly. It seems that the opponent is quite huge.
What kind of monster is it?
"It's a rhinoceros demon in the meadow. You'll know the rest soon enough.”
Meadow? What the hell is that doing here?
“Alter, don’t stay in front of it! If that thing blows you up, you'll be dead!”
I immediately understood Markant's advice.
A huge body appeared, blowing away the trees. It was about two and a half meters tall. A huge rhinoceros with two thick horns, like a tank.
When I was taken aback, it noticed my presence and roared.
"They're coming!"
Eras Rhino rushed toward Markant, who was holding his axe in the lead.
When everyone spread out and avoided it, Marant passed by it and slashes it, and Ose aimed at its eyes with a sling. The slash damaged Eras Rhino's thick armor, but the sling bounced off his eyelids.
"Heyaah!"
Markant threw the hatchet from his waist and stabbed it into Erath Rhino's neck. He let out a howl of pain and looked at Markant with bloodshot eyes. I'm sure he’s attracted the attention of the enemy like a vanguard.
I activated "Appraise" in the back, with Roland protecting me.

None.
It has easily surpassed humans.
It has overwhelming strength and durability. Its durability seems to have the correction effect of "armor", but it is a pretty strong enemy anyway. In addition, there are important factors that are not displayed in the status.
Its huge body.
Its stride is large, and when it swings its body, its weight makes him more destructive than a blunt weapon. In fact, it easily snapped a tree. I wondered how much effort it would take for a human to do the same thing.
Against such a monster, Markant and his team were challenging it to a close fight.
Marchant and Danil draw attention, and Valerie and Ose jump in from the blind spot, moving at a dizzying pace. Valerie and Ose jumped in from the blind spot, moving rapidly. Ose, in particular, attacked with a dagger in his hand, aiming for the legs. With such a huge body, the burden on the supporting legs would be heavy, but even if it is its weak point, it takes considerable courage to jump under its feet. I had assumed from his skill set that he wasn't a fighter, but I guess he's also a C-rank member.
I think the reason why the "Battle Axe of Destruction" is challenging it to a reckless melee battle is that they are wary of the initial rush it showed them. The penetrating power of the horns and the huge body of the Rhino. If it makes contact, it won't just be blown away. If you kill it at a distance, you can block its thrust. But even so, close combat is also fraught with great danger. Its horns are longer than a long sword, and if you combine the size of its head, its attack range far exceeds that of a human. If you misjudged the distance, you could be killed instantly.
If Roland were to join in, the burden on "Battle Axe of Destruction" could be reduced.
I thought about that, but Roland simply shook his head.
"Did you hire them for such a time?"
It may sound heartless, but it's true. But it was unlike him.
As I looked at Roland's back, I understood why. Roland is my guard and my shield. He was wearing a shield reinforced with steel plates and chainmail. It was heavy equipment. Compared to the leather armor of the "Battle Axe of Destruction", his mobility was inevitably inferior. The blow of Eras Rhino was not a power that could be managed with a shield. In his adventurer days, Roland would have been equipped with equipment that emphasized mobility like everyone else. The role of protecting me made him abandon it.
"Valerie!"
“Got it!"
I turned my gaze towards the voice that gave the order.
Markant quickly recedes and Valerie pops out to fill the hole.
Markant did not seem to be injured. What are you going to do?
With enough distance between them, Markant begins to concentrate. As soon as he does, his whole body suddenly becomes thick.
That is a very terrific brain muscle–not “Muscle Strengthening Physical Up”, a Degenerative Magic?
Looking at the "Appraisal", his strength, which was 15, was become to 19, and only his Strength was 21 outside the human body.
Yeah, he’ll ask. Because it comes out rags.
Valerie stood next to Markant with a cheerful smile as I was playing poker face.
“I knew you were slacking off in yesterday's game.”
Markant stopped moving.
“I’m also not serious!”
As soon as it starts up, Markant starts making childish excuses.
Danil comforted him, but he became even more stubborn, "I'm not even at my best!” He became even more stubborn.
The youths who were the cause of the commotion came to their senses.
"You guys, give me that thing! It's ours!"
Oh, wow. I'm impressed with how far you've come. It's the opposite of Roland. And you're looking pretty good. It's a good thing you've been on the run. Damn.
But still, I can't believe he's still insisting at this point. I'm not sure if he's just an idiot or if he's a repeat offender of similar robberies. He is no longer dealing with "Battle Axe of Destruction". Rather, Markant is still stupid. Is it a kid?
The young man who broke into our place, let's call him an intruder for the sake of etiquette. The intruders looked to be around twenty years old. Of the four, three were wearing metal-reinforced leather armor and one was carrying a bow and arrow with only leather armor. This is the guy who messed with me. He's about the same age as Ose, but other than that, there's a huge difference. Our scouts are excellent. After all, I'm ignoring the leader who is shouting "I'm stronger!" And confirming the death of Eras Rhino.
He seemed to have calmed down after all the wailing and crying, and soon after, Markant looked at the intruder. The ugliness he had shown earlier was gone, and he looked quite intimidating. Should I learn from this switch? I don't know.
I noticed that the "Battle Axe of Destruction" had casually finished its deployment.
Danil stood diagonally behind Markant, who carried the axe, while Valerie kept her distance and kept her hand on the handle. The farthest one, Ose, had a disinterested look on his face, but he was preparing a sling at an angle that his opponent couldn't see. He looked as if he was about to go into battle. Roland seems to be planning to do the same, and he's positioned himself next to me.
Honestly, if I reveal my identity, this whole situation will go away easily. Even if you don't know the crest on the ring, Roland is clearly dressed as a knight, and that's enough proof for a child to be surrounded by such powerful people. No matter what, he would not be foolish enough to point his sword at the lord's son.
There was such a simple solution, but I hesitated.
If I were to reveal it, the intruder would retreat with a strong sense of dissatisfaction. But that would be like wielding power, wouldn't it? If they weren't habitual robbers, they were just people with pitiful thought processes. If we talk to them, we can understand each other. Besides, I don't know what kind of repercussions their complaints will have. My father's reputation might be tarnished, and it could even lead to discord in the territory. Besides, I was a commoner in my previous life. I wanted to keep things as quiet as possible.
Under Markant's pressure, the intruder repeated the same request.
As expected, Markant shook his head in disgust.
“It’s ours. You don't have the right to take what you missed. If it was wounded, there would be room for discussion, but when it appeared, there was not a scratch on it. I don't see any wizards here. I'm sure you'll be able to tell me how this Rhino fight you without getting hurt?”
“I was going to lure it into the woods and kill it!”
“It was an eight year old who killed the big guy. What, you guys let a kid outsmart you?”
“Markant, please don't do that because it applies to us too. Also, it's rude to Alter-sama."
Danil spills pathetically.
Well, even if I said that I had finished it, I just stabbed it at the end. As Roland said, "Battle Axe of Destruction" was enough to defeat it. In fact, no one was seriously injured.
The only thing the intruders seemed to understand was that it had been cheekily mocked. I changed my complexion and touched the Rhino.
“You're not going to give it away, are you?”
A tense air filled the area.
The slightest trifle will likely lead to a battle. However, the strength is too different and it seems to be one-sided. But I was in trouble. These guys don't seem to want to back down. I did help them, though, didn't I? No, I didn't get any words of gratitude.
I looked up at Eras Rhino’s huge body, feeling disappointed.
Even when it's down, it's huge. What are you going to do with it after you take it? It would be hard to carry it with this weight. It won't move even if all the intruders pull on it. If you dismantle it, you can carry some of it, but the skin alone is quite heavy. What are you really going to do?
No, no, no, wait a minute. What are we going to do with it? It's such a big one, we definitely want to take it home. I'm sure the Rhino can even eat meat. It'll help the town's food supply, and we'll feel bad for it if we throw it away. But how do we get it home? How much time would it take to go back and forth ......?
At that moment, I came to a startling realization.
I hurriedly adjusted my attention to my body clock and looked up at the sky.
Oh no, it's almost evening! It's a day trip today!
I push past Roland and jump forward.
“You guys!"
The intruder looked dubious at the sudden call.
“How are you going to carry Eras Rhino?”
“What are you talking about, you little brat? We'll just take the horns and the magic stone.”
“Rejected! You can't have him!”
“What?”
Oh, the time.
“Shut up! I'm Alter Les Reedwald. If you have a problem with that, come to my house! Until then, I'm keeping this one!”
This is an emergency situation. Even if I wielded my power, I'm sure all the people would forgive me with a sunny smile. I asked Markant as I hurriedly prepared to go home.
How do you carry the big stuff?
"Well, ...... ah, we usually send someone to gather the carriers. Around here, there's a guild in the Reedwald.”
“Okay, Ose!”
“Oh, yes.”
Ose responds upright.
“You're fast, so get ahead of me and let them know! I and Roland will be on our way, but don't worry about guarding us! Markant and the others, keep an eye on Eras Rhino to make sure it doesn't get eaten up. Don't take any chances. If a strong enemy comes, don't hesitate to retreat. And you guys!"
The puzzled men hurriedly straightened their postures.
“You must come! If you have a problem with that, you can talk to us at ....... That's when we'll talk to you!"
I reminded him again and again and sent Ose to run to the guild.
And take the first step powerfully to show them about me.
I'm so proud of myself. I could feel the envy in the air, but with every second counted, I didn't have the time to respond to the crowd.
