Orc Harem Vol 1 Chapter 12

.
We departed at the same time when the morning came.
The pursuers came faster than I expected.
The second generation’s mansion was located at the opposite side of our location right now, so we took some time to arrive at the forest that would lead to the elf village, and Tita’s condition yesterday also wasn’t really good, so her pace was also heavy.
But, to think that the pursuers would catch up this quickly.
This was a bit strange. It was as though they had given up on searching around the second generation’s mansion right from the start and prioritized heading this way immediately.
Right now we were hiding inside a thicket while watching humans who were bringing dogs with them. They had good movement. They had received really advanced training.
「Ork, this is bad. We will get found out by those dogs even if we hide inside the thicket. Those humans are carrying some scraps of the clothes I wore when I was captured.」
「Aa, there is no problem with that. I borrowed the power of wind spirits to send our scent to the sky. You also don’t need to talk with small voice like that. Sound is something that transmitted through vibration in the air. With the power of wind spirits I can also weaken the vibration of the air so that our voices won’t spread out.」
This was the basic of the basics in covert action.
When I took covert action, I would cover my visibility by bending the layer of air, sent my scent to the sky, and isolated the sound from spreading.
「……This is my first time seeing someone who can borrow the power of spirits so easily. Or rather, you can use all four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water casually aren’t you!?」
「Yeah, I used them all when cooking. Four elements are really convenient huh.」
I’m glad I was chosen as hero.
Normal magic used the magic power inside the body(Od), but the power of spirits used the mana that was filling the air.
In the case of normal magician, they would offer their Od as offering in order to use mana. In the end they would run out of Od, but in my case, as someone who was chosen by the Spirit King, I could borrow the power of the spirits for free.
Furthermore, I could use all elements when normally being able to sense only one element was the common sense.
Normally I was hiding the spirit crest on my left hand, but if I liberated both of the crests, I could even use the power of irregular spirits like light and darkness.
「That’s absurd. I have never heard about anyone like that.」
「This is something I’m proud of. We should go soon. Let’s pass through a path that is hard to travel on and get away from them quickly.」
There was no way they would be able to catch us.
I was constantly aware of the pursuers’ location through the wind at the surrounding.
But, there were a lot of enemies forming an encirclement, so we could only take troublesome path. It was annoying.
And then, that aforementioned troublesome path was,
「Err, this is a cliff isn’t it, Ork?」
「It’s a cliff.」
「There is twenty meter until the cliff at the other side.」
「It is.」
「Below, there is just a very shallow river and rocks all over the place.」
「Yeah.」
「Let’s take a detour then!」
「We’ll jump. The enemies won’t ever expect us going through this kind of route. Besides, this is a nice shortcut.」
There was no way the pursuers would even suspect they passed through this kind of place.
One would need to take a long detour to cross to the cliff at the other side. If they could just pass through here, they would be able to gain a lot of distance.
「This is impossible!! We’ll die if we fall」
「I see, so Tita can’t jump that far. Then close your eyes.」
「Alright, but why?」
She closed her eyes despite her puzzlement. What an obedient girl.
I held up Tita in princess carry.
「Kyah, don’t carry my like this so suddenly, this is embarrassing.」
「You’re scared to jump over the cliff right? Is it fine for you to open your eyes then? We’re going to jump after this.」
「Eh, could it be, you’re thinking to jump while carrying me because I can’t do it?」
「Correct.」
「No way-, that’s just impossibleeeee!」
Tita screamed when I jumped from the cliff.
And then when my body was going to fall just a slight distance away from the other side, a gale pushed my body to arrive at the opposite cliff.
Fumu, I thought that I would be able to jump the distance with only my base strength without relying on ki or magic reinforcement if I was only carrying the weight of a single girl, but I lost speed because of the wind that suddenly blew from the opposite direction.
I would fall without borrowing the power of wind spirits there.
「Now, let’s go.」
「That was really scary!」
Tita was hugging me really tightly while shaking.
Her breasts that were pressing on me felt really good. So this was the lucky pervert moment that I heard from rumor.
I wanted to be lucky pervert more.
「My bad. But, with this we can continue onward without worry. We’re going to arrive at the elf village soon right?」
「Yes, it’s just a bit more.」
We were walking further under Tita’s guidance.
There was a large tree before us.
Let’s turn left from here. After I thought that, I felt a terrible discomfort.
I got the feeling that the thought of turning left didn’t belong to me.
My actions after getting trained by my teachers were always accompanied by necessity.
And yet someone like me took action based only on instinct of wanting to go left.
That was impossible. When something impossible happened, that meant there was something influencing me. I didn’t feel any strange mana, and the spirits also weren’t giving me any warning. But I believed in my sense.
「Tita, let’s take a detour around the large tree here and walk straight forward.」
When I decided to walk straight forward, I felt an abnormal discomfort. When I resisted it, I finally understood the true identity of the power that was interfering with me.
If I was able to perceive the power that was interfering with me, it was also easy to defend against it. I formed the magic formula to resist against it.
It felt like my field of vision suddenly cleared up. I see, it was a barrier that interfered with perception. Even though it was a barrier, I didn’t feel any mana from it. It was only natural. The interference came from a power that should be called as the life force of this forest itself.
Tita’s eyes widened in amazement.
「That’s shocking. I can’t believe that the barrier of the world tree isn’t working on you.」
「So I wanted to turn left because of that barrier huh.」
「Yep, the elf village and the forest around it are protected by the world tree’s barrier. ……they will get the feeling of not wanting to enter inside here by their own will. You are the second person who ever broke the barrier Ork.」
I was constantly preparing protection against illusion and magic, I was also protecting myself with ki.
I was only able to break through this barrier for the first time when I combined that preparation and the teaching of my teachers.
「By the way, who was the first person to break this barrier?」
「The great sage Merlin Enlight.」
「I see, in that case it’s not strange for me to break through this barrier too. I’m that person’s disciple.」
「Why is an orc becoming the apprentice of the great sage!?」
「Well, there were various reasons.」
That person, he was well known in a lot of places huh.
I felt strangely impressed while walking inside the forest.
「How could you get captured by the like of humans even though you have this kind of barrier?」
「My mother fell sick. None of the medicinal herbs inside the barrier of the world tree are effective, so I thought that the herbs from outside the barrier might be effective.」
「Did you find any good herbs?」
「……I didn’t find any. I kept searching, but then humans found me and captured me.」
「Can you tell me your the symptom of your mother’s illness?」
「Um, let’s see」
A sickness that was caught by elf, the symptoms that I heard from Tita, I put them together and pondered.
I had learned medicine in general during my time of learning miscellaneous knowledge. ……I’m only guessing here, but I might be able to cure the sickness.
「Is it okay if you bring me to meet with your mother?」
「Yes, that’s fine. But, why……hah……could it be that you like mature woman Ork!? The reason you don’t attack me is because of that and your actual target is Okaa-san!? You must not, Okaa-san is a widow, but she still love Otou-san even now, and in the first place, she is currently sick!」
「I’m plainly hurt by your words just now. Even an orc will get depressed when they have horrible things said to them you know? Even though I thought that you have come to trust me a little.」
It was said that orc had strong mental because of that kind of image they had, but there was also delicate orc like me.
I was used to the prejudice that other races had toward orc, but that didn’t mean I wouldn’t feel hurt just because I was used to it.
「Sorry, you’re right. You aren’t that kind of person Ork.」
「It’s also my fault for keeping my reason for asking vague. I might be able to cure that sickness. I have been taught by the great sage Merlin Enlight the way to cure most wound and disease in general. I can cure sickness using medicine and also using magic. I have also stocked some medicinal herbs that can be preserved for long inside my rucksack. But, I’m just talking about maybe here. There are also many things that I can’t cure. You will get sad if I failed after I got your hopes up. That was why I didn’t want to say it.」
Tita stopped walking.
After that she bowed deeply toward me.
「I’m sorry sorry sorry, I said something strange like that even though Orc is really a good person like this.」
「You don’t need to apologize. But, I hope you will trust me from now.」
「Yep, I’ll believe you. Also, I’ll do my best to repay back your kindness too.」
Tita entwined her arms around mine.
I smiled wryly.
And then we continued to walk deeper inside.
◇
And then, after two days of camping, we finally arrived at the elf village at the noon of the third day.
Thanks to putting up the barrier and staying inside it, elf was living with self-sufficiency through the forest.
In other words, they had only ever eaten things they got from the forest.
Their cooking capability itself was half-baked.
It seemed that their eating habits could put up a good fight with the cooking of the orc village before Kaa-san’s arrival. ……In other words their cooking method was whole roast only. Their seasoning was only using salt.
I thought that living in elf village might also be nice if I found wife there, but it seemed that would be impossible.
I didn’t think that I would be able to endure that kind of eating habits.
「So this is elf village huh.」
It was surrounded by a simple wooden fence. All the houses were made from wood.
I thought elf would be a hunting tribe, but they were also doing things like farming normally.
「Yep, this is the elf village, Titarnia. My name was taken from this village’s name you know? Only the child with talent to use the wind spirits can receive name like the village’s name.」
Tita made a smug expression and puffed out her abundant chest while going ehhem proudly.
When Tita and me entered the elf village, countless killing intents were directed at me from the surrounding.
……I had noticed from some time ago that there were elves equipped with bow and arrows hiding at the surrounding trees and thickets.
「Looks like the reception is here.」
「Eh?」
Tita hadn’t noticed.
「Listen to me elves of this village. I’m the orc Ork. I came here in order to escort back Tita who I saved from human’s kidnapping. I don’t have any intention to do any harm to the elves here and to Tita.」
I felt agitation from the surrounding after I yelled that.
「Eh, everyone is here!? Err, Ork said the truth. Ork is my life savior! I was caught by bad people but he protected me and brought me until here. He is a really good person. Also his cooking is really good!」
「That last one is unneeded.」
All tension left me.
It looked like the elves also felt the same.
Two elves appeared from inside the thickets.
「Obaa-chan(Grandma)!」
「You stupid granddaughter, how could you leave the barrier without telling anyone-」
「I’m sorry.」
The elf who Tita called Obaa-chan looked like she was still at her late twenty no matter how I looked at her, but as expected from an elf. Amazing.
They were super youthful in appearance.
「I am the village chief of Titarnia, Tania……you orc over there, I also feel human blood in you.」
「I’m half orc and half human.」
「Orc and human, so you are a mixed blood of two filthy races.」
「Obaa-chan, stop that. Ork is my life savior.」
Elf was a race with particularly strong wariness.
Actually Tita was someone whose wariness was particularly loose.
Their attitude became like this because they kept getting targeted by humans and orcs since the past and they would meet horrible experience each time they left their forest.
「I can tell that you are really Tita’s savior from her expression. It looks like you also haven’t done anything strange to her. But, your business is finished with this. Go home.」
「Obaa-chan! Please don’t say that. I want to repay this debt to him properly. Elf isn’t a race that will insult their savior and chase them away right!? An act like that will only be done by the savage races that Obaa-chan are always telling me about.」
Tita’s Obaa-chan put her hand on her chin and pondered for a while.
「……It’s certainly like you said. It’s a fact that we are indebted to you. But, if you dare to do anything strange, you know what’s the consequence will be right?」
「I promise. I won’t do anything strange.」
The cold reception from the elves was just as I expected in a sense.
It didn’t really surprise me.
Let’s just be grateful that I got invited into the village.
◇
After I entered the village, I got brought to the village chief’s house with gazes that were a mix of curiosity and hostility directed toward me.
It might be too late to only realize it now, but to think that Tita was the village chief’s granddaughter.
On our way to the village chief’s house, it seemed that Tita had a lot of friends. Her elf friends approached her one after another and they rejoiced with their reunion.
I was shown into the guest room and there I explained the chronology of how Tita and me came to this village.
「……I see. It looks like my granddaughter had become indebted to Ork-dono more than I imagined. Tita would have become a human’s salve for her whole life if Ork-dono wasn’t there.」
Looked like I had ranked up from being called orc without any honorific to Ork-dono.
「Yep yep, Ork is my life savior.」
「Then let me ask you. What is your purpose?」
Now, this was the critical moment. I would instantly get chased out if I gave the wrong answer.
「To look for wife. My dream is to create a harem. That’s why, I come to this elf village that has a lot of beautiful women and girls. I want to find an elf that want to be pushed down and have my child after seeing me. I’m a gentleorc. I won’t try anything with a woman who doesn’t want to be pushed down by me.」
「Get out! I don’t understand what you’re saying!」
「Wait Obaa-chan, this person is saying something insane like that, but he is really serious. Because even though we have traveled together for three days, he never assaulted me even once just because I told him that I don’t want him to push me down.」
The village chief and Tita began to converse.
I did nothing except watching them.
「……Anyway I understand the situation now. Just so you know, there is not a single woman who will want to be pushed down by an orc in our village. Well fine, just one day will be enough if you’re just going to choose woman, but that time will be too short to show our hospitality. I also have an obligation to entertain the benefactor who saved my granddaughter. So two days. Get out of here after two days.」
Yosh, with this I had the excuse to meet with all the female elves here.
There should be at least one of them who wanted to obtain my strong gene and gave birth to my child, maybe.
Suddenly I glanced at Tita. To be honest, she was the one I wanted the most. But, I still couldn’t make her wanted to be pushed down by me. I had to keep interacting with Tita even while also meeting with a lot of elves.
But there was something I had to do before that. Examining Tita’s mother. If I could heal her mother, than Tita might also fell in love with me.
