Chapter 34.2 - Ogre-ruled Land (1/2)

Chapter 34 . 2 : Ogre-ruled Land

The girl is saying so while bowing lightly .

Such a brave girl . She makes me want to take her in as my possession without offering her to Zengu-sama .

This country is under the supervision of a certain ogre called Zengu . The citizens of this country are livestock for the ogre .

And this girl has been chosen to become the offering for the said Zengu .

Zengu ordered me to choose a girl as a birthday gift for his mother . He told me to choose a healthy one, rather than a fleshy and beautiful one .

Though I want to choose an ugly girl, my life will be in jeopardy if I lose the favor of Zengu . That’s why, I really am regretting the fact that this brave girl is about to die .

「Echigos-sama!」

Another one is coming .

「You’re noisy, what is it now?」

The one who came is my subordinate .

「Travelers! Three girls just came! They are quite beautiful, too」

Beautiful girls .

I couldn’t let that word pa.s.s .

「Travelers, huh… Guide me to meet them」

I went along with my subordinates to meet those girls .

Thus, when I met those girls-

「Hou…」

I unintentionally let out an admiring voice . They’re the most beautiful women I’ve ever met .

It seems the proud looking woman in the middle is their leader . She’s wearing the finest quality garment, so she might be the princess of a country .

I want to keep these woman in this country .

And then, behind those three are definitely hippogriffs .

I heard that it’s possible to tame the demon beasts, a long time ago, but I never expected to see a tamed hippogriff .

They might have bought a reared hippogriff .

In any case, this hippogriff isn’t hostile to humans .

I must be lucky for getting my hands on the finest women along with the tamed hippogriffs .

「We’re travelers . May we stay here for one night? Naturally, we’re going to pay for our stay」

The woman on the left started to negotiate .

「No, no, no, don’t mind such things . If it pleases you, feel free to stay in my house」

I replied so .

It’s natural since I’m going to strip them of all their possessions . Thus, I don’t need any rewards right now .

I looked at those three like a hunter looks at their game while pretending to be calm .

「Well, this way, please . Since that demon beast is going to stay in the barn, I’m going to take him there later」

When I was about to guide those three to a residence .

「No, it’s good as long as we can stay in the same place . Please guide us there」

The woman on the left asked me to guide them to the barn .

With only straws for a bed, the barn is far from enough as a residence for humans . I’m wondering why I felt chills running down my spine when I heard the voice of this maid .

「Y… Yes, this way then」

Thus, I guided them to the barn while thinking about that matter .

After guiding them to the barn, I gathered my subordinates to ambush them .

The one we should place our utmost attention on would be the woman carrying a sword with her hair tied to the back . [TL: Shirone with her ponytail] She must be talented to be able to become the bodyguard of a woman with such high standing .

「Don’t you think it’s about time to enter, Echigos?」

A voice was calling from behind .

When I turned around, the one who spoke was a man carrying a large sword . He has a brawny body with muscles bulging at various parts of his body and a pair of canines protruding out from his mouth . No matter how you look at him, he’s such a barbaric man .

And this man is also another reason why there are no demons invading this country .

「So it is Daigan-sama . It’s as you say, they’re the finest quality gems」

「Tricking some women and then ambushing them when they’re being careless, huh?」

「Yes, naturally that’s my plan . GUFUFUFU」

「Kukuku, Echigos, even the evil me has lost to you」

「Nonono, I’m still far away from Daigan-sama’s level . Gufufufufu」

Daigan is laughing .

That’s right . As long as we have this man, we have nothing to fear .

I was caught by Zengu the ogre when I was traveling as a merchant .

But then, by using my a.s.s kissing skills on him, I somehow ended up as the landlord of this place in which Zengu raises the humans inside as his livestock .

For the sake of successfully raising the human livestock in this place, Zengu lent Daigan to me .

The people of this country obey me because of their fear of Daigan .

Even though I’m just a merchant, I’m something like the king of this country now . I can do anything as long as I use Zengu’s power .

Much less to say when the other party is composed of merely three frail girls, so what do I have to be afraid of?

What I’m afraid of is that we might injure the girls when we capture them .

Moreover, I’ll have my way with one of them before offering her to Zengu .

I unintentionally wanted to laugh .

◆Governor Echigos

「Echigos-sama . Those women are inside the barn」

I receive a report from one of the guards .

There are fifty armed men in my surroundings .

Though this number seemingly looks overkill just to capture three women, it’s logical to use such huge manpower since my goal is to capture them without any resistance by showing our overwhelming numbers .

Well then, how should we break into the barn?

But the door of the barn was opened before we barged in .

Standing there were the three women who hadn’t changed at all since we met a while ago . In short, they’re still armed .

「At the very least, we need to hear your reason to do this」

The lordly woman, their leader, is asking so .

Well, what answer should I give them then?

「M-My daughter will be saved as long as you become her subst.i.tute! Sorry, but please become her replacement!」

When I’m wondering what to say, the man who prostrated in front of me previously replied ahead instead of me .

Those three women exchanged glances when they heard his words . And then, they’re seemingly consulting about something .

「It seems you have some sort of circ.u.mstance . Do tell us your story」

Maybe because they heard that man’s story, the lordly woman is asking again .

But, I have no intention to continue such useless storytelling anymore .

「Regardless of our circ.u.mstances, she’s incomparable to you, young ladies . How about putting down your weapons? We won’t hurt you as long as you surrender to us」

I give them my warning .

Why in the h.e.l.l are they asking for our story anyway? No human can beat the ogre .

As long as they are obedient, I’ll let them have a good time before offering them to Zengu .

I look at those women while having such indecent thoughts . Thereupon, the woman holding a sword in her hand is glaring at me .

I almost stumbled back unable to support my body after seeing the glint in her eyes .
