82-81. Uniqueness of a different world in Oak



All right, let's hunt and hunt and hunt those orcs!
I'm gonna wash your heads, you ugly, dirty pigs. I'll erase every last one of them!

 We had gotten information about the monsters without any events like getting tangled up with the goons in the adventurer's guild and we were stepping deep into the forest, which is far away from the town.
 Both Sianne and I have been calling out the names of the monsters we are planning to defeat with great enthusiasm.

''Hey, hey, Sakahagi-san. What kind of monster is an orc?

 As we were making our way through the branches and leaves in the way while waving our machetes at the speed of sound, Ituna, who had been left behind and unable to keep up with our tension, asked us.
 The guild's constant request to defeat the orcs that had been asked to be killed by the guild was decided upon, and Itsuna should have nodded that it was fine... but... did she not know about the orcs in the first place?

'Probably a pig-headed humanoid monster.
"Maybe what?

 I wonder if she was expecting 'Sakahagi-san who knows everything' as usual, or if Ituna nodded her head a little bit in a surprising way.

''Even if I say orc, it's quite different in different worlds, so I can't be sure. Oh, that's right.......what were the orcs in Cyanne's world like?

 Cianne frowned uncomfortably as she was talked down. 

''They are lowly barbarians. They were the kind of people who would kidnap women from other races to enslave them and multiply their offspring because only males were born.
Wow.

 Even Ituna, who is unfamiliar with that kind of knowledge, is indeed a donkey.
 Sianne's explanation continues.

'They grow up fast, and the child orcs become adults in a few years. They are strong and fearless in the front line of battle, but they do not have the brains to understand elaborate strategies. Your father used enslaved orcs as assault soldiers. Is that how it works in this world?
Well, that's pretty much it, isn't it?

 Nodding appropriately to Sianne's question, he held up his index finger and took over the explanation.

'But, well, maybe not being born female isn't a major thing in other alternate worlds. By the way, in other worlds, there are orcs that are treated as pork and are delicious when eaten, and in the game imitation world, there are small fry monsters that pop up and drop poorly. Still, evil monsters are pretty much the same thing.
Hmm. It's like we're from different worlds and yet we have the same motif.

 Oh, very perceptive.

That's a good point, Hector. You're right.
"Huh?

 I praise Ituna for hitting the truth without a figure, but he has a look on his face that says he has no idea what he's talking about.
 Well, it's a good time to tell you.

The monsters that appear in the other world are a part of Earth's lore. In other words, the fantasy that was imagined on earth was created as a different world, which is the way the multidimensional universe is now.
Earth? What's that? What does that mean?

 

'I think I told Ituna over drinks some time ago that a certain god won a bet and became the supreme god who ruled over all the universe.
Yeah, you're a f*cking god.

 Oh, Ituna. I didn't tell you her name.
 I didn't even want to mention their names.

He was one of the minor gods of the earth, and one of the many gods of parallel universes, but it seems that he wasn't interested in winning bets to begin with. When it came to governing the universe, he left it to the gods, who were good at making the rules.
'Wow, that sucks. But I can picture it in my head.

 It's rare for Ituna to look so pissed off. What in the world has happened?
 On the other hand, Sianne, who can't keep up with the conversation, seems to be unhappy. She might sulk if I don't tell her about it later.

I don't know, I'm not really good at creating multidimensional universes. I don't know what I'm talking about, but I'm going to need a common law of the universe, an origin rule. When it came time to create a new world in the universe, we decided that the Earth should be the model for the origin rules. At that time, the model favored by the gods of each world was a fantasy world that originated on Earth.
Wait!

 Sianne, who until then had been forced to keep her fingers crossed, suddenly interrupted.

''I don't know what that earth is but I don't think that the other worlds I've crossed over to... no, not even the one I was in! You were created on the model of a single world!

 I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding.
 I grin back at the question.

''Brave man. A demon king. A monster. Gods. An adventurer's guild. This is how much they all look alike. Isn't it rather obvious that they have a common scripture (bible)?
Nonsense. Then it will be all the same and there will be no difference.
Not really.

 I shook my head supremely calmly at Cianne, who argued with a shaky voice, and I shook my head supremely calmly.

It's not your individuality to show it even if you want to. It's your personality that comes out even if you don't want it to come out. In fact, pig-faced, filthy, violent, woman-hungry, and powerful are all common denominators, and I've seen plenty of Orcs who strayed from that, too.

 They weren't even pig-faced to begin with, they were a noble race, they had different special abilities, and they had "de orc" at the end of their words when they spoke the human language.
 So it's up to the gods to decide how to cook the same ingredients.

Well, but Sianne, you're right. You're right about that, too. There's no doubt that the world looks pretty much the same from my point of view.

 I feel kind of empty when I say it, and I sigh and slump my shoulders.
 Quite a long time ago I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the individuality of each different world and move on, and I wasted a lot of time.
 Since they're usually the same anyway, it's just a matter of attacking them the same way.

 However, Cianne remained silent at my mutterings with a stern expression on her face.
 It's not that she ignored me.

''Sakahagi-san,''

 Ituna suddenly muttered in a hushed voice.
 Her braids stood upside down like an antenna.

''Yeah, if you walk around the territory making this much foolish noise, they'll come.

 From the very beginning, I had no intention of hiding out and taking them by surprise. It was a deliberate plan to lure them out and have fun.
 A wild, yet somehow strange breath already surrounds us.
 The silhouette that emerges from the trees is pretty much the same as the so-called "Orcs" I have in mind.
 But.

You know," said Sakahagi, "the Orcs of this world are like that. I'm sure the orcs in this world have eyes that light up like that?

 Sianne was right.
 Metaphorically or not, the orcs' twin eyes were literally gleaming.
 It was like a searchlight hunting down an escaped prisoner.

 They're not in a hurry to narrow the encirclement, making unfamiliar footsteps with a chirping sound.
 
 Eventually, the pig-faced, "Oh, it's an orc" shape, which is still recognizable at a glance, becomes clearly visible.
 It was at this moment that I became uncomfortable with the unbroken ranks of the Orcs, which were unsuitable for the disorderly Orcs.
 And the moment I realized that what I had thought was breathing was some kind of driving sound they were making.

"'Men are our interiors. Women to our iron urinals. Resistance is pointless.

 The orcs shouted at the same time in a shrill, droning voice mixed with electronic sounds, and with a boom from the tip of what looked like an iron rod in their grip, light particles formed a fan.

Wow, that was an axe! It's amazing!

 Ituna was innocently excited at the first time she'd seen the trick.

'Hmm, interesting. It certainly doesn't look like the orcs I know!'

 Sianne also smiles fearlessly and begins to release a killing spirit.

''Oh, oh yes, that's right, this is another individuality of another world.......''

 It looks like the axe that Renchu is equipped with is an axe whose blade is formed by a beam.
 There are a thousand different types of orcs like this.
 In some worlds, orcs wield a sci-fi beam axe....

It's not possible! Hey, watch out, you two! These guys--
"Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh!

 Apparently my control was too late.
 As a thunderbolt ran from Ituna's braid, the orcs crashed down like a short-circuited bee and sparks.

'Itsuna, don't run off!

 Then Sianne tore the orcs apart like paperwork with her magic claws.
 I've been warned, but in spite of my warnings, Ituna and Sianne have begun their warriors against the orcs.

''Ah ... well ... well ...

 I don't know how strong these orcs are, but from what I've seen, they're not at the level where the two of them would struggle.
 Besides, telling them to stop now would make Cianne's mood worse.

 While I was thinking about this, one of the Orcs attacked me with a beam axe swinging high up in the air.
 It is a kind of fictional weapon that appears in science fiction, a thing that is definitely not allowed to appear in the fantasy world of swords and magic.
 The heavy particles scattered from the beam can kill a human being even if exposed to them at close range, but me and Itsuna and Sianne, who are under the protection of Bride Genri (Harlem Rules), are unaffected.
 Of course, if you hit them, you won't get away with it, but to put it another way, as long as you don't hit them, it doesn't matter.
 It's not to mention Atsuna and Sianne, who focus on speed, and I can't let them get away with it.

Well, let's check it out first.

 I ducked the beam axe without risk and lightly touched the orc's pig's head while activating a certain cheat.
 Then the orc stood still and didn't move.

"Yes, it's confirmed.

 Once that happens, all that's left is to clean up at random.
 With my light-winged sprint, I stopped the orcs in the same manner.
 After a short time, there are no more moving orcs.

"Phew! Good job!

 Ituna stretched wide and worked us over.

'Tch, not enough food...'

 Perhaps it was incomplete, but Sianne was not happy.

'Well, this is how it goes,'

 There seemed to be about 50 of them, but those orcs were not our enemies.
 If they were strong enemies, we wouldn't be playing with them.
 Even Cyanne didn't ask me how I stopped the orcs.
 It looks like I used paralysis magic, so I guess it's too late now.

''Hey, hey, Sakahagi-san. Are all orcs like these monsters? Or is it just here in this other world?
'I was skeptical until just now, but you're certainly right. So personality comes later?

 Oh, you two see it that way.

What's going on?
What's with the warmth in your eyes...

 I knew I'd need a wife for my otherworldly life.
 I'm not very good at it, but it's an idea I can't do because I'm trapped in a stereotypical way of thinking. When I see this kind of thing, I feel comforted.
 I don't mean to make fun of them, but I'm seriously impressed that you can see things that way.

'No,'

 That said, you have to make sure you point out the misunderstandings.
 The longer it goes on, the trickier it gets to correct.

'Unfortunately, these guys are orcs, but they're not orcs, are they?

 He cowers his shoulders while poking the head of the orc I had stopped with a conk.

'To be more precise, the orcs of this world are the machine-indoctrinated (machinates) machinists (masirim). I'll explain the details later.
Huh?
What does that mean?
Here it comes.

 As I looked up at the sky, Ituna and Sianne looked up at the sky as well.
 Something polygonal emerged from the void, making a strange, piercing sound, and was about to take on a vivid shape.
 A huge shadow blocked the sun's light, and a curtain of darkness fell below us.

Is that a ship...?

 Ituna's impressions are correct.
 A ship indeed. Rather, it is a ship.
 If it is a ship, why can it fly? That is, of course, because it has wings.
 Countless white feathers sprout from a ship about 200 meters long, and they are flapping their wings. Of course, no matter how many mere feathers they had, there was no way they could support the huge mass.

''Wha-what... but what does this mean?''

 Sianne's astonishment is not surprising.
 
 It was clear to Cianne's appraising eyes that it was not using flight magic.

 Other than the wings, the countless protrusions equipped in places on the outside of the ship are mortars shaped like trumpets.
 No, to tell the truth, they are trumpets. This ship is also a huge instrument.
 On the bow of the ship, there is a motif of a nude man, a girl or a boy, in a praying pose.
 They are the instruments that accompany the bow's song.

 If someone from Earth were to see this ship, which has a divine beauty carefully calculated by the golden ratio and yet still has functional beauty, they would probably have the following impressions.

"She looks like an angel...

 As if in response to Ituna's murmurings, the bow of the ship's mouth announced in a beautiful, out-of-this-world sounding, benevolent, yet unapologetically flat and mechanical voice.

'I will mechanically indoctrinate (machinate) you all. There is no need for resistance.

 They are the most beautiful, most massive, and second most dangerous otherworldly invaders in the other worlds I travel around, after the Megamikulan.
 Ans-Baal, the third most dangerous, named them thus.

'The Dimensional World Invading Unified Terminal. The Angel Fleet, the Principality class.
