Bonkotsu Shinpei no Monster Raifu

Not to brag but, I’m reasonably good with the bow or should I say was? It’s true that I am above some my peers in my generation but it’s only on that level where other can say that I excel on it.

Perhaps because of that, I lost my will to become a soldier and instead became a village guard. It’s a stable job where I can help a woman that’s being attack by a monster and from there we might get in to an intimate relationship. Unfortunately, it hasn’t happened in my five years of tenure as a village guard, though I should be happy that no woman was attacked.

My name is Spinks – a 26 years old village guard and is single, that is looking for a girlfriend. My hobbies are reading and gardening. Meaning, it’s boring. If it was at least be archery then it would at least be interesting and might attract a little bit of attention but unfortunately after seeing a guy with talent in it, I can’t bring myself to say that is my hobby.

As a village guard, you won’t be able to avoid having an encounter against monster though it’s hard to call it a battle since with just threatening them with magic, those monsters will run away in their own accord. That was my first task when I entered the guards which is quite disappointing.

Being a village guard is easy especially for people who knows about what it’s like. I thought I was lucky to get into it but I was shocked that there aren’t many women in the force.

I was mildly shocked. I was further shocked when I learned that every woman in the guards have their own partner. I tried to meet people but it ends with no success and the time keep passing by.

And then that guy showed up. Yes – the forest nightmare.

It was terrible to hear that it is still alive, even though we hear that it’s already dead. I had joined the guards specifically because the forest nightmare was supposedly dead. But hearing that it’s back is too much. On top of that, the upper bras declared that dischargement will not be allowed as the village in a state of emergency.

Oh crap, there’s no way out.

However, the elves still have its guardian angel- what?! He hasn’t recovered yet!

Wat, please tell me that it’s a lie!

If that nightmare attack, would I need to fight too?

As I recall, magic doesn’t work on it, and arrows won’t penetrate it. So, what’s the point of me being here? To stall for time?

I despaired at that realization.

When I thought that I’m going to die without having a girlfriend I learned that they are sending out a priestess.

If I remember correctly, it’s someone who trained by sealing of her eyesight in order to sharpen her senses in order to locate the nightmare which is unperceivable.

But, does it have to be a woman?

I though so, but since it’s usually men who are tasked to fight, having a woman would be more convenient.

Though I agree with that, the only problem is that the one they’ll sent is Asirou. She’s someone from my clan the Gardel and she has huge breast.

She was someone who men around me would be excited about. However, I never knew that a priestess would emerge from Gardel, a tribe infamous of producing ordinary people. Maybe with this our clan would have a little more say on matters.

Eh there’s no such intentions? Just a lascivious act? Ah Sezato? Uwa! this would definitely spell like a calamity to our clan!

Give me a break… it would be bad if our clan which is considered to be made of by airhead, be under fire by tribes like Sezato.

As I was thinking that, I was asked to join the expedition group that would be task to subjugate the nightmare because we came from the same clan.

Err. I’m not a soldier, I’m just a mere guard. Oh, they’ll buy my skill with the bow, I see. But there’s a lot of people like out there, isn’t it? Is that why I’m asked to be a member of the expedition.

I wanted shout at him but it seems that the one chosen are people who the village doesn’t care if they die. Gardel is really treated badly.

It looks like I have no hope to survive this but I heard there’s some survivor because the nightmare would go away once it was full after eating.

Eaten?

It prefers eating elves?

Where’s the information pertaining to that- oh it’s there, sorry I doubted you.

So, Am I going to be eaten?

Is there any case where I can just be killed only? What? You sometimes get killed if you resist too much too?

Hey I’m only 26. Usually, elves my age should not do this kind of role right?

Is it too much to ask to be exempted?

In the end, everything I said was in vain and the clan threatened to kill me if I ran away to the point that they’re willing to chase me to the end of the world.

The day before the attack, the clan chieftain came to see me and told me he’s going to keep an eye on me. I kept my gaze downcast as he tells me that he had no trust in me and that I would probably run away.

I’m about to cry, didn’t I?

This bastard watched me until just before we left. The old bastard was flattering the Sezato’s insidious woman while saying [I can’t believe a priestess would be chosen from our clan.]

I am disappointed to Gardel even though I belong to it.  Was the clan really in a bad position that even I who is clueless can see it now?

However, before we go, I learned that I was put in in exchange to the life of the old bastard’s grandson.

Remember this when I get back!

Even so I don’t know if I can return, it’s all resting on my luck.

Aside from others, most of the members in the expedition team is gung-ho on killing the nightmare thought personally, I think that we can win this.

Half giving up I ended up looking at Asirou’s breast. And when we entered the forest after crossing the river, the priestess apparently picked up something but it seems that it wasn’t the nightmare. The commander of the team is quite angry.

Honestly, I want to return home and just say that we didn’t find it.

I was moving forward while wishing that when one of us suddenly disappeared in front of me. The priestess was able to sense the attack of the nightmare beforehand but it was too late and one by one the rest of the team was eaten.

As I was about to give up, something jumped on the nightmare that have already caught Asirou. It’s a monster that I haven’t seen before – it has gray body that is almost similar to that of an ogre. It dragged the nightmare to the ground and begins to attack. Luckily, I was able to escape from the range of battle and was left to watch the fight unfold.

It was eating the nightmare that we elves can’t do anything about. Asirou who was clinging to its arm was gently peeled of and was put to the ground. Apparently, it didn’t care about us and just obsessively eating the nightmare.

I guided Asirou to safety but when her blindfold fell, she fell on her butt due to the surprise of what’s happening.

I unintentionally shouted [WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!]

I then carried her on my back and escape to the village, the role of carrying her on my back would be my treasured memory. Also, the fact that I was able to safely escape from the nightmare definitely uses lifetime worth of my luck.

I returned to the village with the following information that the nightmare had been devoured. Then I was imprisoned.

It seems that it’s a measure to make sure that they can interview the survivors, but I wonder if it’s true?

We are released after two days and the death of the nightmare was confirmed which caused an uproar to the village, but no one was talking about the new monster.

It seems like the information about it is being withheld by Sezato.

[Well, I’m just happy that I survive that]

I was wondering what was ruckus when I saw the large foot prints and I immediately knew that it is all about the new monster. When I arrived at the scene, the village was noisy, far cry from its normal atmosphere. There the witch, a famous magician has entered the village alongside the new monster.

I unintentionally muttered [It’s that guy].

Then an awkward atmosphere between the eldest son of Sezato and the witch were brewing when the eldest daughter of Forsuna intervened.

Ah I want to go home, though sadly I had to stay overnight because it was convenient for the upper brass.

I did a light run around the village as a morning training. I passed by the rumored witch’s house which is in the outskirt and I could see the monster.

I casually approach it who was just standing idly. I think it’s dangerous but with the control magic, unless the command was to kill everyone to get near, it’s probably safe.

When I got near him, I told him that his eventual subjugation of the nightmare had save me and my gratitude for it, in a form of a soliloquy.

Also, since Asirou and I were in the same clan, it’s kind of sad to not see those magnificent boobs again, that’s why I’m thankful.

It might be useless to express my gratitude to this guy, but before I knew it, I was already blurting out my [thank you] to him

(Hahaha, I don’t think you would understand what I’m saying)

Then he nodded.

No that’s just my imagination, right?

The magic is working fine and he wasn’t moving.

Yes, that’s right it’s just my imagination.

Anyway, with my business done, let’s go back to the village.

I can’t leave it alone as I’m the village guard.

T/N I’m currently working on a new site for this project. i pray i can finish it this year
