Chapter 2 (1/2)

Cheat Magician Life That Started From Being Judged Useless Chapter 2

”I will give you one last chance. Right now, you are going to go in the opposite direction that we take. You'll go through the wasteland and forest, and at the end of it, you will find a town. Go to the town's barrack when you arrive. If you managed to do that, then I'll give it some thought about you joining us.”

The princess that was wearing golden armour said that while pointing at the road that continues beyond the wasteland.

”Eh, b-by myself?”

”That's right. Is there anyone else besides you?”

”W-what about water and food?”

”There are cases when you will lose all your equipment. In this situation where there are no pursers, all that you need to do is just walk on the road. I have no need for useless people who can't do even that.”

The princess is so harsh that I think she is made 90% of harshness. She doesn't even give me a chance to speak. For someone like me who always use the escalator, and always think that taking the stairs is considered losing, this will be quite difficult.

Also, the judging older sister is looking at me with eyes full of pity. Doesn't that mean that there is something dangerous about this?

”Can't we at least give him some water?”

Oh! Cla.s.s representative, you're so kind!

”Fuu, show me that you can make it though even if you have to drink muddy water.”

d.a.m.n, d.a.m.n, this princess! One day I will make her cry! I will make her cry on the bed!

Thus while I was left alone everyone else got into the carriage and left. I felt so frustrated that I sung Dona Dona while everyone was leaving on the carriage.

Now, even if I stood here nothing will change so I should start walking.

In the sky, there was a s.h.i.+ning moon twice as big as the one on Earth. Even if it's night time, there was no trouble with walking around.

Still, there are no street lamps at all, and if not for the moonlight it would have been pitch black.

I don't know how long it will take to reach the town, but I think it's better to

hurry up a little.

In the first place, isn't it a long distance to the forest? It looks very far or am I mistaken?

Anyway, I continued walking even while mumbling. I'm seriously walking.

How serious, I'm probably wearing the slippers which usually I just lazily step on with my heels and walk with by dragging my feet.

Still, indoor slippers are not designed for long-distance walking. The sole part is thin so my foot started to hurt.

Also unlike the paved beautiful roads of Tokyo, it's hard to walk because of the stones and sand.

Still, I desperately walked. I felt that I walked for around 2 hours.

We were summoned during 3rd period so usually it already past the time for

lunch. I feel so hungry that it feels like I'm about to die.

While enduring the hunger and the pain of my foot for 30 more minutes. I finally arrived at the entrance of the forest.

It’s a good thing that I arrived, but it's dark, very dark, and the moon has already started to set. I can barely see a distance of 10 meters.

I can't see anything further than 20 meters, rather if the moon sets it will be bad.

But after I go through the forest, there will be a town. I'm so hungry so I have no choice but to hurry and go.

So I made my mind and started walking, but honestly, for a city-raised sprout like me, it's tough and truthfully it's scary, very scary.

I'm just walking around by touching the things around me. It feels completely like a haunted house. I already started to regret it after walking for 5 minutes. Why didn't I spend the night outside the forest? It's pitch black here.

Because I was only hearing the sound of my steps while walking, I heard it.

”Gya-a.”

”Eh, what? Is something there!?”

I hurriedly raised my head to see its s.h.i.+ning eyes.

”Uwa ~a~a~a…”

I got scared and screamed while turning around trying to turn back, but there were also other eyes s.h.i.+ning in darkness all around me.

”Gya gya gya.”

In the blink of eyes, some unknown creatures came jumping at me.

I only saw a glimpse of them within moonlight. They were small ugly monsters that were the same size as me or little smaller.

”Go-, goblin! Don't come over here!”

”Gya- gya gya gya!”

I swung both of my hands with all I can trying to push the goblins away, but I received a strong impact on the back of my head and lost consciousness.

What was that about just walking the road!? That evil princess! Someday I will make her cry! I will make her cry on the bed!

Although I was attacked by creatures like goblins and quickly lost my conscious, I quickly woke up.

Why? That’s because I was being eaten!

”It hurts! d.a.m.n it, let go of me! It hurts, it hurts, stop it, it hurts.. it hurts. It hurts, you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!”

I just kept screaming with all my might. Because both of my arms and legs and even my stomach were being eaten. And without holding back, they tore even more into my flesh so of course, it hurts.

”Ahhhhh, it hurts, it hurts, ahhhhhh!!”

My limbs are being pressed down and I could not move. I felt that something was pulled from inside my stomach. When I looked at what it was, I saw a goblin eating my intestines with its mouth covered in blood.

”Gobo, goho, goho.”

A warm thing crawled up my throat, ah, this is probably blood.

”No, I don't want to die! I don't want to die, goho-, help me, goho, help me…help me… help me…gofu- somebody help me…”

I know that my internal organs were slowly being eaten, and there was no way for me to survive, but still, I couldn’t help but pray.

Bu shu~~tsu…

Suddenly, I heard the sound of the meat being crushed, and the neck of a goblin danced in the air.

What? What happened?

”Gya gya gya gya?”

Bu shu~tsu…… bu shu~tsu…… bu shu~tsu……

Meat smas.h.i.+ng sounds continued as the sounds of the puzzled goblins disappeared.

I also saw some goblins get their heads skewered with something sharp.

Kasha… kasha… kasha… kasha……

A little while after the disappearance of the goblins' presences that were
