Crockta didn't like the sound of footsteps behind him He stopped and looked back
”Why do you keep following me?”
But the other person didn't feel inti the same way, so don't flatter yourself Did you rent this road? How much did you pay to rent it?”
”……”
It was Derek's subordinate, Jereht up as Crockta left Arnin, and headed northeast to Chesswood
”Good, renting is comfortable Renter, renter, renter, renter…ick” Jerelare ”You are scary Relax, Brother”
”……”
Crockta decided to ignore hiain
Jere was very clear and high At first, Crockta thought it was a flute sound There was a ti didn't sound very pleasant
Jerehout the plains
Thus, they continued their aard companionshi+p
As the na to had ses scattered about in a checkered pattern Chessasn't a big city like Arnin was, but a cluster of various sether with their own system
What was the Thawing Balhae Clan doing there? Would he be able to find Groe?
The future was unknown, so he had to do the best that he could right now Crockta decided to just go there for now
As they headed further east from Arnin, the forest disappeared, and an oft-traveled trail could be seen If he proceeded to the center of the continent in this direction, he would be able to reach the big cities of the other species
”Hey, Orc brother”
”…I am called Crockta”
”Oh Are we already friendly enough to call each other by name? Is this Day 1 of our relationshi+p?”
”……”
Crockta wanted to kill him
“What are you going to do with the cursed people in Chesswood? Are you going to use the Concrete method?”
”There is no need to know”
“No, I' to do soht fly away, after all I need to know since our money is on the line”
“Where did Derek invest in Chesswood?”
”Secret, a secret”
At the end of his words, Jerelanced at him but didn't point it out
“Isn't that a good sword? Is it expensive?” Jeremy asked
”It's the work of the Golden Anvil clan”
“Hyu, how great I'm envious I also want to buy a neord”
As they talked, the two people started walking together
Jereain Crockta didn't knohere it came from, but there was a melody to it It wasn't too bad to walk leisurely while listening to Jeremy
“You are good” He said
“When I was a child, I was proud of both ain The sound was crisp, and sounded good overall “Orc brother, do you know any songs?”
”Songs?”
“I don't think that a whistle can co? Your voice is pretty good”
”A song”
There was the orc song that he had learned frohed Jeremy looked at him with expectant eyes
“H singing this alone However, he couldn't betray Jere the warrior's song
”We are orcs! The reat warriors have appeared Huet lost…! Gnomes…”
It was an exciting song when sung in a group, but it was shaet lost' followed by 'warriors don't need a woman' didn't fall from his mouth
”……”
Jeremy looked taken aback
“……!”
Jeremy flashed an aard and nodded ”G-Great”
It was hu It would've been okay if Jeremy had teased him But even Jereave Crockta a compliment!
Crockta became anxious and dropped his head
It was i of orc warriors He tried to maintain the spirit of victory But he was a warrior who could face reality, so he couldn't turn away from his conscious and pride
“Isn't every culture different? Ha, haha”
Crockta felt more shame at Jereain He wanted to let this guy knohat a real song was
He said, “That was just a joke”
“No The song was good, Brother”
”I will let you hear what a real song is”
“There is no need…”
Crockta grabbed Jeremy's shoulder He flinched “Jeremy”
“Yes…?”
“Have you ever been in love?”
“L…Love?”
“Yes, love”
“What…I did have a love relationshi+p…?”
”Then listen”
Crockta was very serious He closed his eyes and reht now he had the low bass tones of an orc that ers couldn't mimic
He recalled his school days That boy's genuineness as he wept still breathed in his chest He poured out the distantwould suffice
Crockta's voice poured out like a sigh
“Just like I wasn't prepared for the rain, I sent you aith silence”
“……!”
Jereely low, sank cal were beautiful and melancholy, just like a poem
“For a while, I would get drunk or sleep at dawn, trying to forget you”
”……”
“I can't forget that ti…”
”Ah…”
Crockta's low voice rang out The bass tone was filled with heartbreaking emotions
“A good person, if I had cherished you then, I wouldn't have been so sad e broke up…!”
Jeremy closed his eyes Suddenly, an old relationshi+p passed through his mind
