Travel to another world and continue to be a boxer

Chapter 126 The Black Wolf Boy

The young man, even without travel equipment, stood on the grassland. From a distance, his heavy steps showed his inner struggle, sometimes taking a step forward, sometimes stopping.

The four of them stood facing each other, and they felt that they should not stand idly by and watch his uneasy behavior. The boy's pain seemed to be very deep, and it was difficult to detect even if they walked closer.

He stared back blankly when Ye Kai spoke: "I want to be an adventurer. An adventurer like you. So I have to go south."

It seemed to be just something spoken in a hurry. So they gathered around the boy, trying to listen to his story.

“Let’s take a break. With him.”

They quickly prepared tea and snacks, which were mixed with the scent of magic, making the boy's eyes light up.

The boy sat down and took the cup naturally, squinting his eyes to look at the steam of tea. He couldn't keep up with this sudden change.

"Here's a snack. Eat it if you want."

One of the adventurers, who was also an orc like him, was pushed to take a sip, and his mouth was filled with an unprecedented sweetness, while the heat of the tea penetrated into his body.

"tasty……"

It was not until then that the boy realized that he was just driven forward by impulse.

----------------

"I'm Cham. What about you? Which village are you from?"

At this time, they thought that the boy just wanted to become an adventurer because of his age-specific admiration. So after a brief self-introduction, they decided to let Cham be the audience, because in the boy's eyes, he might become the object of his admiration.

"I'm Akiu'er. I'm from the Great Bristle Wolf Tribe of Kalapalu Township. Sister, you know a lot about orcs, right?"

"Yes. It's just a little bit of fate."

Akiuur asks about Township through Cham and seems to understand that he is not an adventurer limited to the south.

“This township is in the north.”

Fino was questioned by Cham and she answered with her eyes.

“Is it far from here?”

"It's a little far. Because... it's close to Suqi Township, so I know a little bit about it. I thought you knew it too."

“Fino is from Suqi Township!?”

"Yeah. But he's gone now."

When Akiuer found out that she was from a neighboring village, he suddenly became more excited: "That's amazing. You're an adventurer now, right? It must be very hard, right? You must have fought a lot of monsters, right?"

“Wait, Akiuur. She’s a magician.”

"Ah..." He immediately realized his mistake. The symbol of the orc magician has a direct connection.

"...I'm sorry, Fino."

"It's okay, I'm used to it. Because of this, I know how difficult it is for a country-born orc to live in human society. Do you have such a pressing reason?"

Akiuur answered that question heavily.

------------------

Akiuur was born and raised in Kalapalu Township with his family. His father was an excellent hunter, while his mother was an ordinary woman without any physical enhancements.

He had an older sister named Mruk, but when he was still very young, his younger sister Pierce was born and the family became even more lively.

However, a common accident among orcs suddenly occurred. When the mother was protected by hunters and gathering, she was attacked by a wild ape that bypassed the protection. The father tried to take the mother back, but was used as a shield and could not attack forcefully. He was eventually defeated and the mother was taken away to become food for the monster.

In the orc village, the whole village will raise children together. Therefore, the remaining brothers and sisters will not fall into trouble. However, the wolf cubs who have lost their support live a helpless life every day.

Although the siblings supported each other, as they grew up, the elder sister began to support the family as a hunter, and Akiuer also learned to help with housework. The two of them worked together to raise their younger sister, and gradually, a happy life returned to them.

Misfortune struck again. While protecting her injured companion, her sister, Mruk, was seriously injured. The monster that attacked her sister was repelled by her childhood friend Siegel, who went hunting with her, but when he returned with his sister on his back, Mruk's condition was not optimistic.

Three days later, her sister died, leaving behind words of worry for her siblings, and Akiuur's despair and anger reached their limit.

The happiness they were almost about to obtain was snatched away by the monster again. Akiuer seemed to want to leave immediately, but his childhood friend Siegel forced him to wait.

If the body is strengthened enough, Akiuer can hunt monsters to his heart's content when he grows up. So he needs to wait patiently. Akiuer endured the pain and lived a silent life, waiting for the opportunity.

Then the wave of reform came. They were told that if they planted Nafusi in the countryside, they would not need to hunt monsters as before.

What was the purpose of their suffering? The people of Kalapalu Township were looking forward to a new era. Have they forgotten the death of their parents? Was the death of their sister in vain? Akiuur has lost his faith.

The boy thought: I don't have to be bound by my hometown. As long as I can take revenge on the monsters, that's enough. I don't need to become a hunter in my hometown.

I heard that in human cities, some people make a living by hunting monsters. That is the profession of adventurers. Isn't it enough to hunt monsters without hesitation and live like this?

Such thoughts kept circling in his mind. Then, when he realized it, he had already started running.

South, south.

Akiuur's shoulders were hugged by Fino and she was crying.

He let out all the pent-up emotions in one breath and realized that his mind was clear. He wondered why he confided in someone he had never met. Akiuur hadn't realized yet that he actually wanted someone to listen.

“Maybe this is a drawback?”

“Maybe that’s the reason?”

The two had mixed feelings. Once something changed, there would be no one who would not be harmed. However, they had not expected it to happen in this way.

Of course, they didn't think they were wrong. They couldn't deny the boy's feelings. It was just that they were pursuing different futures. There was no solution to this irrationality.

“You have a mistake.”

Hearing this, Akiuur raised his head and looked at the black-haired human adventurer.

"Are you also against such a meaningless thing as revenge? It's too stupid to gamble your life on such a thing, isn't it?"

"no."

He thought he would hear the usual lines in response, but was denied by just one sentence.

“The mistake is in the priorities. You have something else you have to protect, right?”

“Something that must be protected?”

Akiuur didn't want to hear that answer. That was the biggest reason for his difficulty. All his confusion. He didn't want to be aware of that existence.

"First of all, you must protect your sister. If, if, you don't care about her, I have to readjust your thinking here."

"..."

“Indeed, even in an orcish homeland, a young child can survive on her own. But Pierce thinks you abandoned her.”

“Ahhhhh!” Akiuur’s heart collapsed. Things he didn’t want to remember were brought back to mind. The tears that poured out told of his sins.

"Shall we go back? I'll apologize with you."

Akiuer could only nod with tears in his eyes.

--------------

Kalaparu Township is an ordinary village.

It consists of four dog tribes with nearly two hundred residents. The distance between each tribe is just right, and the homestead management is balanced and orderly.

At present, everyone is busy with the reclamation work around them, and few people noticed that Akiuer suddenly disappeared. But if he was brought back by the four adventurers, the situation would become troublesome.
