Vol 1 Chapter 5 (1/2)

Subjugation of a Demon

Today, I went to the forest with grandpa

Hi, it’s shi+n, and I’ve turned 10 years old

I have grown taller as well Now that I mention it, I have just recalled I haven’t described what kind of appearance I have in this world…

Although it’s a little late to ht Western-style countenance with black hair and black eyes? My facial structure is unlike the ruggedness of a japanese person from my previous world but has a deeper feature

Instead, my appearance looks like a thin handsome fine youth, and could almost be mistaken as a face of a woman’s However, since I don’t know the standards of beauty in this world, I wonder if that’s the case here Incidentally, black hair and black eyes are the commonalities here And thus, there were no discrimination nor persecution in particular That’s how it is

In any case, around the tirandpa said, “You’re going to be able to hunt demons soon,” ent on our first demon hunt

The things I’ve been hunting until noere “aniory as animals But in thisof mana However… when animals absorb mana excessively and lose control of that mana, they turn into demons

When an aniic from the excess mana they had absorbed Indeed, those rabbits or wild boars will, too This concept also applies to humans

Fortunately, humans rarely turn into de their oill However, it seems like such as a case had happened in the past

It was a case where a person lost their self-control, started to raes disappear, and even made a nation perish

At that time, a person was demonized It is corandpa, or so it seems

Grandpa often told me this as a bedtime story

Therefore, even to this day, it see treated as a hero in this country Incidentally, this was from Michel-san’s information

That kind of grandpa was takingdebut

Up until now, I’ve done , martial arts practice, and coic tool creation In addition, fro for food every day, it was decided that it would be okay for o on a demon hunt soon

And so, ent deeper into the back of the forest where I usually hunt

“Urandpa, how do I find and hunt just demons? Isn’t the forest filled with other animals?”

“Hoho, all right then, why don’t I teach you how to search for demons”

After he said that, I was taught thedemons

“First, you need to thinly spread your mana around”

“Okay”

“After you do that, when so that has mana touches the mana you have spread, you can feel its presence”

“Oh~”

“All creatures have some mana inside them, and because of this, you will imic'”

As he said that, he taught ic

Or rather…

“…It would have been nice if you had taughtmuch easier”

“Hoho, that is also training Besides, this ic cannot be used if you cannot control your mana to a certain extent”

Even though I sulked a little at grandpa who said that, I didn’t say anythingabout it I then tried out the ht

“I so on the first try… this child is truly outstanding”

Grandpa see, but I didn’t have time for any of that I already hadthe aniic And then…

“!!??”

“Ho, did you find so?”

I grasped all the noticeably large hout the forest I iht next to rande and ware, but even more than that, it was an ominous mana This is…

“That is a demon’s mana”

Grandpa said such words lightly, but this was dangerous There was no e can leave this kind of thing alone

“Grandpa, let’s go quickly! If we leave that thing alone, it will turn into a terrible matter!”

“It see to be a little bit unpleasant”

As soon as he said that, the two of us ran towards the source of thein between the trees, ju jet boots, and chopping down fallen trees that blocked the way using Vibration Sword By the way, grandpa only used body strengthening ic

damn it

While co animals that would sometimes appear, such as rabbits, deer, and wild boars, we finally arrived at the location The place was…

On the scene, there was a huge bear with its height exceeding threea boar of the same size

“!!”

I instantly felt nauseous towards the excessively sinister mana

I held back rossed in devouring the boar When suddenly, the bear noticed us and slowly turned its face towards us

What I first noticed about it was its deep red eyes The redness not only covers its white part of its eyes but its pupil as well,one feel an intense sense of disco mana

This was a demon

As I held back the fear welling up inat my waist with both hands And then…

“GWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”

The bear roared, baring its hostility towards us

“!!?”

I flinched for a moment but I recovered myself and activated the Jet Boots I also directedit, and then jumped towards where it was

“!? shi+n, wait a moment!!”

Grandpa, who hadn’t said anything until then, shouted, but it was too late I had already juht arht passedthe Jet Boots’ propulsion, and it hit the ground to where I was at just before

BAAAANG! ! ! !

A treround burst open
