“You look so little and it’s really unbelievable. Really…”

At first, Tilda was confused about her first flight, but she seemed to get used to it a little and gradually calmed down.

“I mean, are you really a baby?”

“That’s right.”

“Babies usually don’t even realize that they’re babies you know…”

Tilda took a deep breath. Nestled on her boobs, we eventually came to the sky above the orc forest. I’m going to deploy enemy search magic this way. In my previous life, it would have been as simple as deploying on a scale that covered the entire forest, but with the current amount of magical power of a baby, it is difficult. Therefore, I had no choice but to go around with flight magic so that I could cover the entire forest.

“Y-You can even use search magic…? No, to begin with, the simultaneous activation of magic is a technique with high difficulty…”

“Ah, oneechan, there’s a herd of orcs around there. There’s probably a high orc as well.”

“High orc all of a sudden!? I’ve been to this forest many times before, but I haven’t come across many high orcs. As expected, it seems that they are breeding in an abnormal way this year… W-Wait…. Isn’t the altitude suddenly dropping!?”

“Yes. I’ve been told to reduce the number if I can, you see.”

“W-wait a second… Are you serious!? It’s just the two of us here you know!?”

Ignoring the yelling Tilda, I went inside the forest. Then, as expected, there is a group of orcs led by a high orc.

“It’s alright. I’ll be fine by myself. I’m going to annihilate them this way.”

I fly and rush into the herd. The orcs noticed me, but by then, the first few had already been pierced in the head by my magic bullets.

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do!!

One after another, they were shot in the forehead, and their huge body collapsed to the ground. Among them were the high orc who led the herd. The group quickly falls into panic due to the sudden intruder and the death of their leader. I took advantage of the confusion and cleared out the remaining orcs.

“Okay. I guess that’s all of them.”

“Wa, wa, wha-…”

After annihilating the herd, Tilda was stunned.

“Annihilated the herd alone… Then, the large number of orcs that were brought out at that demolition yard were really done by you? But…, I never expected it to be this easy.”

I then start throwing the orc’s corpse into my subspace.

“Moreover, a space-time magic without fluctuation!? No matter how I think about it, that’s bigger than the item box we have…”

“Uhm, oneechan, let me drink this first.”

What I took out of the subspace was a mana potion that restores magical power. Even though my magical power has increased considerably, I am still a baby, so my mana is depleted quickly. It also takes time to absorb magic from the surroundings with mana drain. That is why I bought a large amount of mana potion in advance so that I could recover quickly. It’s a pretty expensive potion but I was able to earn it from the rewards of slaying orcs. With this, I can increase the capacity of subspace a little more.

Tilda gave me a mana potion like giving me a baby bottle.

“Ngug-ngug-ngug, puhaa-, that was bad, another one!”

“……The way you drink is exactly like an old man you know?”

I frowned and went to drink the second one. Despite its high price, it tastes really bad, and the amount of recovery is not very good. The mana potion I made is much better. But it’s a hassle to get the materials and it takes magic to create one. So, for now, I have to rely on these commercially available products.

However, it seems that the amount of two mana potions was a little too much for a baby’s small body.

“Mmmm, I got to pee.”

“Eh?”

“I’m going to do it here. Lift me up, pleaaase.”

“Well, it’s okay because you’re a baby, but…”

When Tilda holds my hips up, I quickly pulled my pants down and urinates directly at the base of the tree. Of course, if I were an old man, I would be a big pervert.

Pshhh-pshhh-pshhh.

“Phew~, that was refreshing.”

“That’s good…”

……It’s no secret that I got a little excited when a woman saw me urinating.

It is not uncommon for certain monsters to occur in large numbers. The principle is roughly the same as that of insects and animals. It is caused by various factors such as changes in the environment, high precipitation and warm winters, or maybe it’s cyclical caused by periodic factors.

However, in the case of monsters, exposure to dense magical power may make them more violent or increase their fertility. But, when I briefly observed the forest from the sky, I don’t think this is the case this time.

Perhaps for some reason, the orcs’ food supply in the forest has increased, causing them to breed in greater numbers than usual. By the way, orcs are carnivorous. They eat insects and animals and sometimes even humans and monsters.

If this mass outbreak is left unchecked, there is a risk that the increased food supply will be depleted and they will eventually come out into human settlements in search of food. In addition, the probability of the appearance of high-ranking species such as high orc increases and depending on the case, ferocious individuals like orc king may be born.

“Unfortunately, there aren’t many high-level adventurers who can move quickly. I feel bad for this but, can you go investigate?”

So, at the request of the guild leader, I have to go back to the forest to investigate. However, I don’t know what the forest looks like normally so it’s difficult to report the changes. So, I told him my concern.

“That’s right… In that case, it would be a good idea to cooperate with them. They are adventurers who are familiar with that forest. I was planning on making a similar request to them anyway.”

There, the guild leader introduced me to a party made up of B-rank adventurers. They accepted the request before I did, and they had been exploring the orc forest for a while now. But when they noticed the anomaly, they immediately returned to the guild to report it.

“I’m Badak, the party leader. I’ve been watching you from a while ago. You really hunted all those orcs by yourself and even the wyvern huh…”

Apparently, they were watching me from the very beginning when I first put out the orcs at the reception desk. I feel like that’s what he was saying.

Anyways, they are B-rank adventurers so they must be reasonably talented. Honestly, it’s probably quicker and easier for me to go alone though.

……Well, what do I do?

Pondering, I look around at their party members. There are five members in total, and only one of them is a female adventurer. She is a sexy older sister who wears a costume that exposes a lot of skin. She has a magic staff so she must be a magician.

I pointed at her and said,

“Then, can I just hire this oneechan?”

“Eh? Me?”

Her mouth dropped open when she was suddenly mentioned.

“Yes. Just one person is enough you see.”

⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

“Wait-, We’re really just flying there? But-, kyaaaaaaaahhh!?”

The screams of the sexy magician-oneechan echoed throughout the sky.

“Yes, we’re flying there. It’s faster this way.”

“F-faster!? It’s fast but it’s even scarier you know!?”

I made her sit on Lindwurm and we start flying. Right now, I don’t have enough magic to use flight magic on multiple people. However, if it was just one person, it would be possible to fly through the air while receiving support from my beloved staff. That’s why I chose this older sister—Tilda—to be my companion.

Tilda straddles Lindwurm and I cling to her chest.

『Master, why do I have to be laid on this filthy ass?』

(It can’t be helped you see. I can’t carry her on my back.)

『Then why did you choose this woman when there were several others?』

(Well, you see, it’s a weight issue. She seemed to be the lightest.)

『…… Is that true?』

Yes, of course! I didn’t choose her because she is a woman. And it wasn’t even because she got big boobs.

It is the country and the lords who are responsible for protecting the territory. Additionally, the state and the lords strive to fulfill that responsibility by organizing and managing the knights themselves. However, as a practical matter, the Knights can only crack down on bandits and criminals and wipe out weak monsters. This is because individuals with outstanding power usually become adventurers in search of freedom and higher rewards. Because of this, the country, the lord, and the adventurer’s guild in the territory have a contract with each other, and when a vicious monster that exceeds the danger level B appears, the adventurer’s guild will deal with it on behalf of the knights.

……This seems to be the position of adventurers and adventurer guilds in this era.

It is very different from my previous life. At that time, adventurers were more of an underdog existence, and they were used to be hated by the country and the lords so it was impossible to build a cooperative relationship.

“Wyverns live in the mountains of the north, and they should not come down very often….. But there is also the matter of that orc forests…. It looks like we will be busy for a while…”

Upon receiving the report that the wyvern has appeared, Ilia sighs. This is also a case that the guild should deal with after all.

The wyvern’s danger level is said to be B+. There are only a limited number of adventurers who can handle this, and even fewer are those who can fly and have no problem with fighting in the air. It seems that it is difficult just to arrange someone for that task.

By the way, in my previous life, when the knights learned that a wyvern had appeared, they immediately went to defeat it. But most of the time, the adventurers were intercepting it. Wyvern materials sell for a lot of money after all. In short, it was a scramble.

(……However, I think there were a lot of knights and adventurers who could defeat wyverns easily.)

『Master, the humans of this era may be somewhat weaker than they were then.』

That’s something I was vaguely aware of. Well, maybe this city is special, and there is a shortage of human resources. Luckily, Ilia doesn’t have to worry about it this time. Because on my way back from the forest, I encountered that very wyvern.

“Uhm… Hey, Ilia-oneechan.”

“??, What’s the matter, Reus-kun?”

“If it was a wyvern, I probably have killed it.”

“……Eh?”

I pulled a huge body out of the subspace.

“Hiiii!!! Wa-wa-wy-wyvern!?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“What do you mean that’s right!? What’s going on with this!?”

“I saw it on the way back so I killed it.”

“Did you just say you killed it!? Wyverns are flying in the sky so it’s not easy even for a seasoned adventurer to defeat them, you know!?”

The adventurers around fearfully approached the wyvern’s corpse.

“It’s huge…”

“Is it really dead…?”

“I don’t see any external injuries…”

I shot it in the brain from its mouth. They wouldn’t see it from the outside.

“Oi oi oi, I thought it was quite noisy so I came over, I thought….. w-what is this?! Isn’t this a wyvern? Is this thing real!?”

“Guild Leader!”

The person who came at that moment was the old man, the guild leader.

“Well, actually…”

Ilia explains the situation.

“I know he’s a strong one, but… I never thought he’d even defeat the wyvern by himself…”

The guild leader looks at me with a horrified expression on his face.

“But no matter how strong you are, it’s not easy to defeat a wyvern, and with the looks of it, there is no damage whatsoever… How the hell did you kill it?”

“I fly in the sky.”

I used my flight magic on the spot. I could fly without Lindwurm’s assistance, so I just spun around and over the guild leader’s head.

“You use it without hesitation huh. But you know, it’s difficult even for a seasoned magician to fly freely like that…”

The guild leader looks dumbfounded. I went down to Ilia’s chest and stopped on the spot. Then, instinctively, Ilia hugs me.

Okay. I will continue to use this hand in the future.

“Seriously, he’s such a ridiculous baby… It wouldn’t be strange that he’s already an A-rank…”

“Guild Leader, actually, that’s not all…”

“Is there still more?”

Then the guild leader, who was told the matter about the orcs, said,

“No, it’s not even A-rank anymore, is it?”

Since I had just taken ten orcs with me, I decided to keep the wyvern in the subspace for the time being. Right then, the guild leader personally gave me a special request.

—Investigate the orc outbreak and kill as many orcs as possible. I was also told that if I by chance saw a new wyvern on the way, I should kill it.

….Isn’t it a little harsh to a baby?

⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

“Guild Leader, no matter how I think about it, it’s not a request that should be given to a baby…”

“No, you got it wrong Ilia. No matter how I think about it, he’s not on the category of a baby…”

The dismantling yard was in turmoil.

“He really hunted those guys by himself…?”

“There’s even a high orc…”

“I can’t believe that they don’t have even a single scratch…”

“Where did he get that amount out in the first place…?”

The adventurers who followed us were muttering and had wrinkled foreheads. Well, perhaps it’s out of puzzlement as they didn’t quite understand.

The old man, Bodoc, exclaimed excitedly,

“T-this is the first time I’ve seen an orc killed so beautifully…! Besides, their body is still warm, and it looks like it is about to move…! Hey, how the heck did you do it!?”

“I condensed the magic like a stone and fired it on their head.”

“I-Is it possible to imitate such a thing…?”

And then Bodoc huffed,

“We have to dismantle them right away! I can see that the blood hasn’t been drained out yet, and with this amount, if we dawdle around, the last one will lose its freshness!”

“In that case, I’ll put some of it away first. I’ll bring it out again once you are done.”

I decided to keep about two dozen of them and keep the rest in my subspace.

“It disappeared…”

“Where is he really putting it…?”

“M-maybe it’s a super valuable magic tool, like an item box…?”

“But from what I see, he doesn’t have anything like that…”

Item box huh. It’s a magic tool that has a similar effect so that people who can’t use space-time magic can still have personal space storage. I think I’ve made quite a few in my previous life. Selling it will fetch a very high price, so at one point, I was making money from it. Of course, since I can use space-time magic, it was a tool I didn’t need.

(Come to think of it, there are many inferior products on the market, such as those that has a normal time flow even if you put your items in, and those that have extremely low capacity. Well, it was probably created by a low-level user.)

『Rather than it being an inferior item, isn’t it just that the quality of the item box that master has created was too high?』

For the time being, I returned from the dismantling yard to the reception desk.

“Uhm… W-well… Right, I’ll give you the reward for two dozen orcs for the time being…”

Ilia, who still looked shocked, agreed to accomplish the task and gave me a reward for the two dozen bodies first.

Until now, I was penniless, but now I finally have money.

“Since they were in very good condition, I’ll buy them for one gold coin per head. That’s twenty-four gold coins for two dozen. We usually deduct the dismantling cost from the amount… But, according to Bodoc-san, they are easy to dismantle because they have been killed very cleanly. And since you delivered such a large number, it is okay to do it for free this time.”

Then, with the remaining 30 bodies, it is calculated that there will be 36 gold coins. There are two high orcs in there, so you should be able to add a little more.

“I-It’s terrible!”

At that moment, with a loud shout, someone jumped inside the Adventurer’s Guild. He’s a young adventurer with a thief-like feel. In the midst of the attention of those around him, he runs to this reception window out of breath.

“(Huff) T-there’s a wyvern! (Huff) A wyvern has appeared! …It was circling in the sky west of here! It’s not far from this city!”

“Wy-wyvern!?”

A receptionist who was different from Ilia answered and exclaimed with a voice full of surprise.

“Yes! I’m sure! I saw it on my way back from our adventure! I thought it would be better to inform the guild right away, so I rushed back because I was the fastest person in our party! If the surrounding small villages and towns are attacked, there will be no chance for us!”

“T-Thank you for letting us know! We’ll issue a subjugation request right away. Ahh! This… Right now, there are no adventurers or parties that seem to be able to deal with flying monsters…”

Ilia, who had been listening to the story, said with a pale face.

“Wyverns live in the mountains of the north, and they should not come down very often….. But there is also the matter of that orc forests…. It looks like we will be busy for a while…”

“Uhm… Hey, Ilia-oneechan.”

“??, What’s the matter, Reus-kun?”

“If it was a wyvern, I probably have killed it.”

“……Eh?”

I said, pulling out a wyvern from subspace.

“R-Reus-kun!? Thank goodness….!”

“?”

When I returned to the Adventurer’s Guild, for some reason, Ilia, the receptionist, ran up to me as soon as she saw my face. And just like that, she quickly picks me up and hugs me.

……What a passionate hug!

Of course, I have to respond to that thought and enjoy the feel of her boobs.

“What’s the matter, Ilia-oneechan?”

“Oh, I’m sorry, Reus-kun. Actually, I was very worried…. But since you’re here, you haven’t gone orc hunting yet, have you?”

“Eh? I went there though?”

“Eh?”

Ilia tilts her head in confusion.

“B-But it would take a whole day just to go to the orc forest and come back… right?”

It was a slow flight, but it only took two hours round trip though.

“It’s true. I’ve hunted orcs as well.”

“Y-you… did you just say you hunted them…? Where is it?”

“Can I put it out here?”

“.….?”

Seeing her confused looked again. I sighed as I pulled an orc out of subspace. A huge body is dragged out of thin air, and it rolls to the floor in front of the reception desk.

“““~~~~~~~~~~!!?”””

Ilia wasn’t the only one who was taken aback. The adventurers who were watching from a distance were also surprised, and many of them hurriedly drew their swords or braced themselves.

“W-wait… Is that a corpse…?”

“Can you really get such a beautiful orc corpse!?”

“But it’s not moving, right? Or, is it unconscious?”

“……Rather than that, where did it come from just now?”

Apparently, the orc’s corpse was so beautiful that everyone thought it was still alive.

“Don’t worry, oneechan. It’s dead. I’ve got about fifty of them, is it okay to put them out here?”

“F-fi—fty!!? No, no, no… say it again, how many did you defeat!? But first, I don’t know where you stored them, but please don’t put it out here! Let’s go to the dismantling yard right now!”

So, once I stored the orc to the subspace again, Ilia takes me to the dismantling yard attached to the guild. But…… for some reason, other adventurers are following suit.

“Excuse me, Bodoc-san.”

“Oh, Ilia-san. What can I do for you?”

“That… uhm, can I use the space here for a moment…?”

The person who greeted us was a large muscular man who was the guild’s exclusive master butcher. He seems to have just finished dismantling the monster as his apron is stained with blood, and he is holding a large kitchen knife.

“I don’t mind, but what’s going on?”

“Well… let’s take a look at it for the time being… Reus-kun, please.”

“Huh? Oi, oi, don’t tell me… is he the rumored baby adventurer? He’s really walking and talking normally even though he’s just a baby…”

Apparently he heard about me too.

Ignoring the wide-eyed master butcher and the adventurers who had somehow followed us, I pulled all the orcs I had killed out of subspace.

Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.

Fifty dead orcs lay on the floor of the dismantling yard.

““““………….…””””

“Okay, that’s all of it. Huh?”

When I looked back, everyone stood there dumbfounded.

“H-Hey, Reus-kun. You accepted the request this morning, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Then after that, you went straight to the orc forest, hunted so many of them by yourself, and then came back… Uhm, it’s still evening of the same day, isn’t it?”

“It was a day’s work.”

“A day’s work you saaaaay!?? This usually takes several people and several days to do something like this! Now that I see it, there’s even mixed high orcs in the mix!”

Ignoring Ilia, who was raising her voice, the old man who was the butcher began to examine the orc’s corpse with all seriousness.

“Mmmm, why do these guys didn’t have any injuries on their body….? Hn? Oh…there’s a mysterious little hole in their head… Oi,oi, I don’t know how he did it, but I can’t believe he killed them by just piercing their head huh. And this freshness… there’s no doubt that it’s only been 30 minutes, no, it’s not even ten minutes since it was killed…”

He seems to be quite a connoisseur.

“Hmm, there doesn’t seem to be a large group of orcs in this path, so I think you should get out of the forest now.”

“Y-you can see that!?”

“Yes. I can do that with enemy search magic.”

“…Even if you say search magic, you can’t usually see such a wide area, right?”

I’ve already healed their injuries so I’m sure they’ll be able to get out of this forest on their own.

“Alright then. Take ca―re.”

Leaving the adventurer party of four behind, I flew up to the skies.

“““He can fly to the sky?”””

I flew towards the city while being seen off by the dumbfounded party of four. And then, in the blink of an eye, I left the forest and flew into the sky for a while.

Then, I discovered something ahead of me.

“That’s…”

『It looks like a wyvern.』

Soaring leisurely in the sky was a sub-dragon with a total length of about five meters. Sub-dragons can be said that to be the subspecies of dragons. Naturally, compared to dragons, they are weak monsters. However, they are still quite a threat to villages and towns with poor defenses. In terms of danger, it’s probably a little higher than a Goblin Lord or High Orcs.

“Let’s get rid of it just in case.”

『It noticed us.』

The wyvern sensed our movement. It changed the direction of its flight and rushed towards us.

 Lindwurm grumbled,

『……It seems like it doesn’t have the intelligence to understand the difference in power between us. It is very unpleasant that sub-dragons are considered to be members of the dragon family. 』

“Gruaaaaahhhhhhhhh”

In the meantime, the wyvern was closing in on us. Its mouth is wide open, lined with sharp fangs, and it seems to be planning to swallow us whole.

“If that’s what it wants, we can do it.”

I decided to do what it wanted. I jump into the wyvern’s mouth myself. As soon as I landed on its tongue, I stabbed Lindwurm, that is in sword mode, into its tongue and impaled it down.

“~~~~~~~~~~!?”

It’s a trick that can be done because of the small body of a baby. The wyvern immediately shook its head and tried to spit me out, but as a dragon-like creature who couldn’t even use its breath, it couldn’t get me out of its mouth.

Then, I fired a magic bullet from inside its mouth, aiming for the brain. The wyvern, which is said to be a sub-dragon and has hard scales, would have required a considerable amount of magic power from the outside, but it can save a lot of effort from the inside. Even though my magical power has increased considerably, I’m still a baby, so I can’t use it like hot water like I did in my previous life.

The wyvern, which was pierced through the brain, died and fell headlong to the ground. Along the way, I retrieve its whole body and throws it in my subspace.

As expected, the capacity is almost full huh…

Seems like I need to increase my magic power a little more.

“Well then, shall we head home?”

⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

 At the same time, in the Adventurer’s Guild.

“Something is wrong with the forest…?”

 Ilia, the receptionist, had received a disturbing report.

“Yes. We’ve been hunting orcs at this time of year for the past few years but their number this year is clearly unusual. Even in the not-so-deep parts of the forest, we’ve seen groups of more than ten orcs on numerous occasions. What’s more, we encountered High Orcs twice in just one exploration.”

“T-That’s….”

Talking to her is the main party in the guild, made up of B-rank adventurers. They are trusted by the guild and of course, there’s no way they would lie about something like that.

“We retreated immediately. But even for us, entering that forest right now is really dangerous. If we don’t warn the others right away, many adventurers could die.”

“I-I understand!”

Ilia immediately ordered the clerk to withdraw the request. They also posted a message on the bulletin board warning people to stay away from the orc forest for a while. Fortunately, the breeding season had just begun, so there shouldn’t be many adventurers who had already been commissioned. Hopefully, they will notice the unusuality in the forest and retreat.

Ilia, in particular, was very anxious. That’s because, she had just introduced that request to a rookie adventurer.

“Reus-kun… I hope you’re okay…”

I heard a scream and went down into the woods. Apparently, they were killed by a group of orcs. Lying on the ground groaning in pain were a group of four adventurers consisting of a man and a woman in their early twenties.

“Are you all okay?”

“““The baby taaaaalked!?”””

When I called out to them, they exclaimed loudly. Looks like the extent of their injury is not that severe.

“Buhihi”

Noticing the intruder from the sky, the high orc nearby snorted warily. Unlike ordinary orcs, it is highly intelligent, so it may have sensed that I am not just a human baby. Still, as soon as it saw that I didn’t move, it slowly approached.

“O-oi! It’s dangerous! Run away!”

Bang!!

A blob of magical energy I released pierced through the lower jaw of the High Orc all the way to the top of its brain, piercing its skull.

“““……?”””

With a face that didn’t know what had happened, the light disappeared from the High Orc’s eyes. With a thud, its huge body fell to the ground.

“““……Eh?”””

The adventurers opened their mouths wide. On the other hand, the orcs who saw that their boss was defeated showed their anger and rushed towards us.

“““Hiiii!?”””

“Defense Barrier”

Shielding the immobilized adventurers with a barrier, I took on a group of orcs. It probably took less than a minute. I shot through the heads of more than a dozen orcs as usual, killing them all.

“…… W-what’s going on?”

“M-magical power… maybe he released a mass of pure magical energy, and then shot their heads with it…”

“That seemed to be right. They all have a hole in their forehead, but… is it possible to reproduce such a thing…?”

“Normally, it’s impossible… It’s difficult to squeeze magic power to such small size… and that power… If it were me, I would be able to penetrate a soft cloth at most…”

“You mean, that baby… is that strong?”

 I walked over to them and used my healing magic.

“M-My body…”

“You can even use healing magic!?”

 I introduced myself to them as they stood up in surprise.

“I’m Reus. I’m a B-rank rookie adventurer.”

“B-rank rookie…?”

“I don’t know what that means…”

“I don’t understand the meaning of such a baby being an adventurer in the first place…”

“Your skin looked so soft…”

 A young swordsman timidly bowed to me.

“F-First of all, thanks for saving us. If you hadn’t helped us, we’d have been wiped out by now. Thank you.”

“Don’t worry about it. There are more orc groups around here, so be careful.”

“Ah? Y-yes. But we didn’t expect to encounter such a large herd. And there’s even a high orc… No matter how many orcs there are in the forest, there should be very few high orcs… Maybe we were just unlucky.”

“Speaking of high orc, there was one earlier too.”

“R-Really?”

In any case, with their abilities, this deep part of the forest would be dangerous. They seem to have been keenly aware of this as they are planning to turn back as soon as possible.

“Since you are the one who defeated them, this large amount of orc material is yours of course. But-, it will be difficult to dismantle and transport such a large number.”

 A young man who seems to be an archer proposes,

“So if you don’t mind, I can help you, at least as a thank you for saving my life.”

“Ah? That? You don’t have to, I’ll take care of it.”

 I then plunged the orc’s corpse into my subspace.

“““T-The corpse disappeared!?”””

“It’s stored in a subspace created by magic and time doesn’t pass in that space. I don’t have to worry about it rotting, and as you can see, it’s easy to carry.”

“Oh, a created subspace huh… Could it be a kind of space-time magic…? Isn’t this ancient magic? It’s the first time I’ve seen someone who can use it.”

Space-time magic is indeed a reasonably advanced form of magic. Even in my previous life, there were only a handful of humans using it. There were a few more demons that can use it though.

“Alright, big catch ♪.”

Orcs are pig-headed monsters that lie everywhere. As planned, I had wiped out a group of thirty orcs. Among them was an orc with a good physique.

The high-ranking species that led the herd was called the High Orc, and its meat was even higher than that of ordinary orcs, so the same portion should have cost several times as much. By the way, all of them were shot through the forehead area with a blob of magical power.

If I damaged their body too much, the selling price will go down after all. Normally, they are drained of blood and disposed of immediately after hunting so that they do not lose their freshness. But in my case, I can just throw them into my subspace where time does not pass. Of course, I could do it myself, but it was troublesome, so I was going to leave it to the guild to handle it.

“Alright. Let’s head back to the city then.”

 I shoot up to the sky again and was about to return to the city.

“Uwaaaaaaa!!!”

 I suddenly heard such a scream from the forest.

　　　⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

“Damn it… Why did this happen?!”

“It’s all your fault! It’s because you told me to go deeper into the forest and hunt!”

“Y-You came all the way here agreeing to that, didn’t you?”

“Stop it, both of you! This is not the time for that! Think about how we can get out of this situation first!”

“No matter what we do, we can’t do anything about this, right?! Aaaah! If I know this would be the case, I should have gone to binge-eat in that popular store I always wanted to go to, uwaa~~!”

They are a young party of four, all made up of C-rank adventurers. They have steadily risen through the ranks as an adventurer. They now earned a lot more money than when they were just starting out, you could say that they started to ride the wave—well, that’s when one is most likely to be swept off their feet. They had been told many times by veterans what it meant to be an adventurer, they were now keenly aware of that fact.

Currently, they can take on two or three orcs at the same time. Thinking that way, they made a big mistake ignoring the advice from the guild and they went deep into the forest. What appeared in front of them was not two or three, but a group of orcs, easily over a dozen. What’s more, the herd is led by an individual that is clearly larger than a normal orc. It is probably a High Orc, one noted as the higher species of orcs.

While the adventurers were bewildered by the unexpected size of the herd, the High Orc sent instructions to the orcs in the herd to block their escape route. Surrounded by pig-headed giants, the foursome party was in a desperate pinch.

The orcs smiled superciliously as they gradually narrow the siege.

“I-It’s all or nothing, we have no choice but to break through the siege! I’ll take the lead and charge in the opposite direction from where that high orc is! You guys should follow right behind at once!”

If they continue to sit idly by, they will inevitably be wiped out. They had no choice but to go all out and try to escape. If someone fails to break through, then they have no choice but to abandon them.

 It’s better than everyone dying here. At that time, while making such a determination, they tried to move all at once.

“Buhooooooooo!!”

“““What?!”””

The High Orc rushed in as if to take the initiative. The powerful tackle from the huge body weighing more than a ton, blows the adventurers away like scraps of paper.

“““Uwaaaaa”””

Adventurers soar through the air and fall to the ground one after another.

“I-It’s a lie right? …what a power…”

“Aaaahh”

“I-It’s over… I’m going to be killed u-uuh…”

“I want to eat sweets…”

With their body battered by that single blow, it is no longer possible to escape properly. Knowing that, the High Orc didn’t immediately try to stab them, but looked down at them and sneered happily.

The only chance they have is that other adventurers happen to pass by and come to their aid. Right now, there should be more than a few adventurers visiting this forest hunting for orcs in the breeding season. Still, in the vast forest, the probability of this happening is infinitely low.

But apparently, the gods did not abandon them. The next moment, a savior fell from the sky next to them.

 —It was baby.

“““…… Ha?”””

The baby is probably less than half a year old, or even three months old.

The baby, who should still be drinking his mother’s milk, landed lightly on the ground in front of the stunned audience.

“Are you all okay?”

“““The baby taaaaalked!?”””
