The Shaman can't become a Hero

Act 3: Drug

Chapter 19: Live Bait

“ Look’s terrible”

After guiding Futaba-san to a side of the passage, a minute, two I took a dazed tiot ether, went to inspect the Go line

The body was bloody to the point that I couldn’t even tell how many times I’d stabbed it The brutality was on the level you’d see in some B-Horror films

Well, I did hear that when you consciously coet too worked up and end up with a sever case of overkill, so this kind of result isn’t so I can’t say I expected

Still, perhaps I’nance to this kind of rated R-18 gore in real life, is because it is so I myself produced Could be that my sensitivity has dulled quite a bit froeon life

Since I can regain calm in just a bit of time, that theory may not be far froh

Anyway, my state of et out of here

I didn’t expect any Core froh crude, these humanoid Goma do carry weapons Futaba-san’s story had indeed touched on ones using bows for ranged combat

Iear

“Huh, this guy’s—”

Yet, when I observe again, or rather, plainly looked at the Goma, I realized

“—got nothing on at all!?”

P-pervert! I’d shout but reater

Yup, whichever way I look at it, this guy’s just plain butt naked

Actually, this is the first time I’ve seen a Goma from so close First ti at thehtly far away

Getting a better look, I can see that not only is their skin reminiscent of cockroaches, but they’re different from humans at the musculo-skeletal level

Their height is less than that of an adultat that black, slimy, huutan rather than a person Their ie could be best described as one of pri arms, ones you can find in an animal encyclopedia

Though, I can’t really tell if it’s ions, but that didn’t help at all Of course, touching to see if it’s got one or not, doesn’t even cross my mind

Even if Goive not one fuck about

“da at all”

I don’t care if you got no undies but at least have a knife or soeon’s chock full of vile Monsters you hear Why’d you gotta prance around in your birthday suit, dumbass

No, well, maybe normal Goma are like monkeys and live naked in the wild

Maybe those ones dining on that girl were a special class ao out to hunt Monsters and are given the privilege of clothing and weapons

shi+t, just stop thinking about Goy already Rather than info, I need some physical loot here

“ Hm?“

C’; I stare intensely at the Goma’s remains with bloodshot eyes, when I realize

There’s, way too many wounds

No, you’re the one who did that remember, I’d like to self-retort but that’s not it Certainly, I had stabbed it countless times, but area I did that on was only one

Basically, in e to hit the biggest part ie the trunk of its body I was not at all in the frao for the head or any kind of vitals

Meaning, injuries from my spear didn’t exist on it’s face or limbs Nonetheless,

“This cut here may be a knife”

The Gouish These wounds were rough yet certainly ran in a line, they’d in no way be fro like an Armor Bear

Dare I say, from dulled knifes, yes, those same rusted knives carried by Goma; Like it was forcefully stabbed at the same places by those very knives

The precise positions of those wounds would be, on the calves of both legs and the upper part of the left arht arm was left alone

“Just what, was it that attacked it?”

In this otherworld, Monsters with severe wounds suddenly popping up in dungeons, meant to become mobs to kill for delicious bonus exp, would obviously— be really too good to be true At least forappears to follow the physical laws just like on Earth

Thus, since it’s injured, there is necessarily a cause to be found Considering it’s a dungeon, the most likely cases would be: unforeseen accident, or attacked by Monsters

There’s an exception at present where us hu Monsters and if this Goma had been in combat with a student, there’s no reason to leave it be after soe to the limbs

This situation was just as if the purpose was to i to injure but not kill; as if that was the attacker’s true objective

But then, for what intent?

The questions keep rising I feel like the protagonist of a h the art of deduction—

“Momokawa-kun”

With a shock! my body jolts hard quite pathetically from the sudden voice No, no, that didn’t scare me at all, I pretend as I turn around

“Futaba-san, alright now?”
