Butcher Demon Chapter 330 Wojtek
The Yakky's fuel issue was slowly rearing its head.
I've already dipped into the reserve tank, using up about one-third of it. Considering we've been running for nearly two weeks without refueling, I'd say we're doing rather well. It's a hybrid after all.
We might just make it to Meteor Lake, but it's right in the heart of the alien territory. Refueling there might be impossible there. It's depressing. My car...
"Susu, do you have a fiancee?"
"No. I mean, going on a journey with no idea of what's ahead, you know? If I kept a woman waiting in the country, I'd probably have been dumped ages ago. Hahaha."
A casual smile. When talking to Susu, Tiriel ends up looking up at him with admiration due to the height difference, her eyes sparkling with longing.
Faye also looks somewhat at ease when talking with him.
Is there such a big difference between a prince and a butcher? But, it's not just a matter of titles.
In her free time, Faye goes mushroom hunting with the people of Hazafungi, and the prince willingly helps, even getting his hands dirty. He offers assistance with a natural, sincere voice, showing a well-rounded education.
The butcher, on the other hand, is a self-made man, if you want food, then be prepared for the fucking.
"Susu-san is so cool."
Hopping over, Kyo interrupts the mushroom hunting and comes to my side. She seems to be teasing me with her gaze.
——Yeah, he's cool.
I admit it. He's a beautiful young man, no doubt. He surpasses any elf male I saw in Feymbaum. He outshines them even when compared to handsome actors among Earthlings. Good personality too, and though I don't understand it well, it seems he comes from a good family. Not pushy, gentleman. Confidence overflows from his clear eyes. And strong. I wonder what muscles hide under his clothes. If placed in front of Earthling women, 99 out of 100 would probably spread their legs, and maybe even 20 of 100 men are willing to go to bed with him.
"Cool."
"..."
Kyo is silently gauging my expression in response to my declaration of defeat.
"What?"
"Well, I was worried you might say something like killing or..."
"No way."
I feel a bit jealous, but I won't go as far as kill.
For now, we're fellow travelers. The defense against magical beasts has become more stable with their addition. I appreciate it. So, I won't kill. Rather, I consider it my job to take away the girls he beds, one by one, with Butcher Lance, until the prince's heart is covered in wounds and suffers from ED(erectile dysfunction).
"But look at Tiriel-san... isn't it a bit dangerous? Faye-san also seems to be in a kind of good mood, too."
Crack! The sound echoes as the Fayewood in my hand shatters.
Certainly. Tiriel's purity is looking bleak.
However, that's her choice. Winning in the ever-changing race of love is no easy feat. What happens, happens. In fact, that made Tiriel to be on the potential stealing list, so it's an exciting development in its own way.
"But I'd rather go with Gevaudan-san than Susu-san."
That's odd.
"Why?"
When I tilt my head, Kyo leans against my back and laughs, "Ehehehehe."
"――Because you see, I'm convinced that there is no one else who can make me happy as a woman, even if I were to look for one. I know Gevaudan-san's worth. A valuable catch."
She pats my shoulder. It was a moment when my worth was acknowledged, having gained Kyo's trust with just pure sexual power.
――But...
Actually, I am cautious about having sex with Kyo during this time.
I don't believe in jinxes or magic. But this is a different world. Maybe I should believe a bit. Right now, a major accident would be disastrous. It could wipe us out.
If we give it some time, our luck might turn around. Then, I'd like to resume a copious amount of sticky reunion with her.
Thinking about such things, I headed with Kyo toward the back of Yakky's vehicle. Since it's mushroom hunting, it's a common development to feed Kyo my mushroom too.
"?"
That is like...
Yakky is shaking and making noise...?
It's a so-called car sex shake.
Unbelievable. Who the hell is fooling around inside Yakky?
I approach, thinking about exposing them and humiliating them in public...
"Huh, b-bear!?"
Kyo's scream echoed through the forest.
I'm surprised too. There's a large bear in the shadow of the car.
It's a very unusual bear with a leopard pattern on its hide. It was headbutting Yakky's body.
With a Yakumo on its back.
Hmm, somehow they look like they just came out of Momotaro's story. Quite fitting.
But now is not the time to admire. There are scratches and dents on the body! Stop it!!!!!!!
I scream in a low voice and quickly take Yakumo off the bear's back, hand it over to Kyo, and then peel the bear off the car.
What's this, a smell of alcohol?
While restraining the bear, I assess the situation. It indeed reeks of alcohol. There's a beer bottle nearby. It's the one Yakonen gave us. In Yakumo's hand was a red, poisonous mushroom, while the other hand held some grass. The drooling bear's mouth was covered with the remains of both of them.
Putting it together, it seems like the bear got mushrooms from Yakumo, maybe mixed with weed, and had a sip of beer got intoxicated, and attacked the car. The remaining beer is still in the car. That must be what it's after.
"What happened!?"
"An enemy!?"
Tiriel and Susu also rush over.
"...A bear?"
"It's a bear, huh..."
Onlookers keep arriving.
"Gevaudan-san, please keep it restrained for a moment."
Saying that, Kyo goes around and gently places her hand on the bear's head.
"..."
Looking into the eyes of the rampaging, intoxicated bear, she eventually looks at me and says, "Looks like it's in a sulky mood." Come to think of it, she mentioned something about understanding the animal's mind. Is that true?
"Sulky."
"That mushroom tastes good, but when you drink alcohol, it instantly turns into a poisonous mushroom that gives you hallucinations. Probably with that combination, accumulated frustrations are coming out."
"Frustration."
"It can't find a mate."
He couldn't find a mate and drowned his sorrows in alcohol and drugs. I suddenly felt a sense of camaraderie.
"No hostility, it seems."
"Bear, pot, let's go."
I waited for the bear to calm down before releasing the restraints. Let's have a bear hot pot tonight.
——Or so I thought. Kyo made an unexpected proposal in response to my suggestion.
"Let's not, Gevaudan-san. Since it's here, why not take this one with us?"
"Why?"
"This bear, Probably Tiger Bear cub. I saw it for the first time too, but when it grows up, it'll be quite a force to reckon with, not necessarily up to the level of a Lunacy Rhino, but still useful. If we tame it now, it might come in handy."
"Tame?"
"It's still a child, so it won't be that useful yet, but think of the future. Let's get to know each other."
"No."
"Why...."
"Bear, give food, mistake. Bear, eat, correct."
I can't afford to keep a bear and give it our valuable food. The correct answer is to use the bear as food.
"I'll make sure I train it properly - alright?"
When I show reluctance about the increased living expenses, Kyo gives me her best shot at a wink and clutches at my arm. She squeezes her breasts against my arm, rubbing against me over the clothes, using all her femininity. The effect is outstanding. I got a bit aroused.
——Wait a minute...?
When the fuel runs out, why not let this bear pull Yakky? Not a horse-drawn carriage but a bear-power pickup truck. I can clearly imagine it. Yeah, that's good. What a great idea. Let's do that. It can also serve as emergency rations.
"Sounds good."
"Yay!"
Kyo jumped up on the spot, with a big smile on her face.
Watching our exchange, Susu asked quietly next to Faye.
"Faye-san, forgive me for asking something strange, but is Gevaudan the leader of this group?"
"Yes. I lead the Hazafungi people, but Gevaudan-sama is the one leading this journey."
"I see."
Susu nodded a couple more times and looked at me.
——Hehehe. They probably thought Faye was the leader. In truth, I hold all decision-making power. Honestly, it's a bit troublesome. So I've delegated all the details to Faye to take it easy——what a cunning move, me.
"Here we go."
Kyo made a loop with the tip of the whip and put it around Tiger Bear's neck. With a sharp sound, the loop tightened, and it seemed to be a successful tame.
"Forming a bond when it's young like this and raising it is a showcase of a Tamer's skill."
"Like, Chips?"
When I mentioned that name, Kyo's expression suddenly darkened.
——In the beginning, that child, which was palm-sized, took a year to raise. Chips tried to help me, and at that time, it bravely fought to the end...!
"――I spent years raising that child, first I met him he's smaller than my hand..... Chips tried to help me, it bravely fought to the end...!"
She looked up to prevent tears from falling.
By the way, Chips is a bipedal frog. The corpse I saw was big and was quite creepy, but apparently, it was cute for her. I don't quite understand that feeling. Maybe Kyo's cuteness sense is similar to Natsuki's.
"Now. We need to decide on a name. Gevaudan-san, would you like to be the godfather?"
——Eh...
My heart made a jump. Me, a father...?
"Tiriel-san, do you have any suggestions?"
"Well, how about something simple like Todomarion?"
——Simple...?
Kyo then proceeded to ask for suggestions one by one.
"How about Agate? The vertical stripes on its body are beautiful and look like agate," suggested Faye, showing excellent creativity.
"I see kelp drifting in the sea in that pattern," said Susu. A clever move attacking from the direction related to the sea.
"I propose Fugin. No, it should be Fhoorin," suggested Fukoidan (?), and Floraitan (?) interrupted with, "Fulin is better." They seem to be sticking with the F, something-something, n.
Now it's my turn. My heart is pounding.
"Wojtek."
I recalled a story about a bear carrying crates of ammo and drinking beer.
"I suggest Candy!"
As expected, Kyo brought up the snack's name. The name sounds too sweet for Tiger Bear. Where's the candy in that...?
The discussion became heated. Each of us insisted on our proposal, being selfish. Is this the beginning of a democracy involving Hazafungi residents and orcs? A stinky political dispute was about to begin.
——Eventually, the name of Tiger Bear was decided as Wojtek.
I realized we just spent half a day on such a trivial matter and so I had to use my butcher's authority to forcefully end the meeting. There were boos from all around, but I ignored them.
"Nice to, meet you. Sergeant, Wojtek."
Looking closely at Wojtek's eyes, they were round and beautiful. And It screams Beer. When I handed him a bottle of beer, he skillfully opened the lid, gulped down the beer with both hands and looked somewhat relieved. Can this alcoholic bear really be useful...?
Well, that's your prepaid salary. From today on, your job is to carry luggage, Sergeant Wojtek. I've taken the liberty of assigning you a rank.
"He's a good boy. So cute~..."
Kyo, fascinated, watched her new pet drinking. Yakumo was riding on Wojtek's back, absorbed in playing horsey.
——Honestly, was this worth the commotion...?
But things got a lot more relaxed for the people in Hazahungi, who've been pretty tense until now. Everybody had big smiles on their faces.
I looked at the bear, happily munching on mushrooms, grass, and beer, and at the people enjoying the bear's antics. This is fine too, I thought. Tonight I'm going to make a mushroom stew.
If you like the translation, please consider sending me some ko-if.
I truly appreciate any support you can give.
