1st place in the ranking is the villager

- Volume 1 Episode 4

4. Ordo (1)

"arrival!"

Hoya's spirit returned to reality at the sound of the man's voice.

widely!

Recognizing that the man was holding his wrist, Hoya shook off the man's hand again.

It was like a habit or instinct that had been ingrained into the body.

But he wasn't the one who saved him.

Hoya felt sorry for unknowingly shaking off his hand.

However, the man didn't feel bad and it had happened a while ago, so he understood and moved on.

"Welcome to Ordo! Well, so... your name?"

"Hey, it's hoya."

"Yeah, hoya. Welcome to our town. Have you been introduced to me yet? My name is Krauss. Take care of me!"

The man, who introduced himself as Krauss, reached out to Hoya to shake hands.

Hoya paused for a moment.

But he knew it was not polite to not accept a handshake, so he cautiously reached out and took Krauss's hand to shake his hand.

There was a reason that he was the person who showed him a favor, but because he recognized that he was an NPC in the game rather than a real person, it was also a little bit easier to deal with Krauss.

Hoya once again recalled that, as recommended by his doctor, virtual reality games could also help with treatment.

But it was still just there.

His stuttering words, his small voice, and the movement of his eyes to avoid the other's gaze were the same.

yet it is

The village Ordo was a fairly small village.

It was a scale that would be more appropriate to call it a well-developed apartment complex rather than a village.

In fact, the number of people living in Ordo is said to be less than 10.

It was the number of people who seemed to be a more appropriate expression to call it a group rather than a village.

Perhaps because of the small population, the scenery of the village was also very simple.

The village was surrounded by a village fence that seemed to be unable to do its job at all, made of woven wood to make it look plausible.

In such a fence, unknown grasses grew around the stems, and none of the buildings in the village exceeded the third floor.

Even the buildings that were there were only maintaining the minimum shape necessary.

The road was also completely unpaved with dirt.

little.......

"Doesn't the town look a little shabby?"

Krauss came in with exactly what Hoya was thinking.

It's definitely a little shabby... No, it's true what he thought was naive, so Hoya couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

"Ahaha..."

“We also want to make a more luxurious village, but buildings break down frequently. ."Following Kraus' beckoning, he crossed the fence and entered the village.

No, so I tried to go inside.

Kwagwagwang!

Just before taking a step inside the fence, Krauss exploded along with the surrounding buildings by something that flew from somewhere.

In the sudden situation, Hoya's body stiffened in an awkward posture.

"Kek, Kek. Oh, I got dirt in my mouth."

"Klaus! Did your guy take it again!"

“Hey, what are you talking about all of a sudden? Lencia……”

"I think I've told you a thousand times not to touch my herbs! Be in moderation! If the herbs go bad, you're responsible!"

Hoya turned only his head stiffly and looked in the direction of the chirping voice.

Standing there stood a beautiful woman with silky platinum hair and long, pointed ears.

It was seen holding a bow in her hand.

He turned his head again to check Krauss' condition.

In the place where the sand and dust had been cleared, Kraus was surprisingly standing still.

The surrounding buildings were blown away and a deep crater was formed, but Krauss' limbs were all intact except for being covered in dust.

Seeing that an arrow was lodged at Krauss' feet, it seemed that the cause of the previous explosion was the same.

Is it possible to have that kind of power with just one arrow?

As he stared at the situation, a woman called Rencia quickly approached Krauss and removed the leaves he had been wearing over her head.

"Ah... that... it just looks so good..."

"Ah... It wasn't enough to even get a scratch, so you covered it with some strange foreign material... How are you going to take responsibility for this situation!"

"No, you covered it with dust, right? Can't you pass the blame on that?"

"Noisy! Shut up!"

"Shut up, both of you!"

I think it was a herb, not a leaf.

As Lencia, who took her herbs and held her in her arms, was growling towards Krauss, a young woman's voice was heard from somewhere.

No, she was a voice that would be more appropriate to describe it as a young woman's voice.

When Hoya looked in the direction the voice was coming from, there was a girl there who looked only like a middle school student, no matter how many times she slapped her.

Her girl was walking towards them with her face crumpled.

"It's been less than a week since the previous building was demolished and fixed! But is this the same again?"

"No, this is him first..."

"The cause lies with this guy. I am the victim, mayor."

"What is the cause and what is the effect!"

The girl spread her arms and pointed her fingers at the wreckage of the building.

She then asked Krauss and Lencia to say that she had nothing to say.

"Besides, what ugliness is this in front of guests!"

At the girl's words, Rencia's eyes turned to Hoya.

Along with that, the eyes of Krauss and the girl also turned to Hoya.

Hoya felt the pressure of pretending to be even though she hadn't eaten anything.

Hoya barely swallowed a moan that was about to come out of his mouth and greeted him softly.

"Ah, hello...... My name is Hoya."

"You're a guest here.... Adventurer? Heh, welcome to Ordo, adventurer."

When Lencia found Hoya and checked her dressing, she greeted him with a smile and a gentle voice like a flower garden.

It was a surprisingly quick change of posture.

Krauss was looking at Rencia like that from the side with a surprised expression.

"I welcome you too. My name is Moan."

A girl who introduced herself as Moan walked towards Hoya.

Looking up at Hoya, the smiling girl took his hand and led him into the village.

Hoya flinched slightly at Moan's touch.

However, because he was a small child, there was no rejection reaction as expected.

Maybe it's because he unconsciously thought that he couldn't harm himself with that small body.

"Don't be fooled, Hoya. It looks like that, but on the inside, it's a complete mess."

"Yes?"

"Actually... Khuh!"

Krauss crept over to Hoya's side and whispered softly in his ear.

Kraus tried to answer Hoya's question about it, but when he was hit in the stomach by a hard rock that suddenly rose from the ground, he grabbed his stomach and fell to his knees on the floor.

“Ho-ho-ho, Krauss, what did you just say?”

"Oh, nothing..."

At Moan's words, Krauss couldn't keep up.

After that, he was swept away by the welcoming atmosphere, and Hoya even got food.

A man named Sariban made the food.

Hoya still couldn't forget the system message that popped up every time he ate each of those foods.

[I ate the legendary Gigant Red Bear Skewers.]

[Strength and Stamina increase by 30% for 240 minutes.]

[I ate the legendary Rainbow Slime Concentrated Jelly.]

[Movement speed is increased by 30% and attack damage by 25% for 60 minutes.]

[I ate the legendary heavenly wheat bread.]

[Permanently increases divine power by 100 for 120 minutes.......]

All food was buff dishes.

It also had a superior effect than the current Priest Rankers.

I knew that the cooks' buff dishes were less effective than the priests' buffs, but maybe I was mistaken.

Besides, Gigant Red Bear was a monster that Hoya knew.

To be precise, a field boss monster that requires a large-scale raid.

Among the Initium play videos that Hoya saw, it seems that all the elites of the guild called Snow White gathered and took a lot of damage and time to catch the boss monster...

Perhaps this is also an illusion.Hoya thought so and ate the food silently.

He had nothing to do but eat.

He had to sit between Krauss and Moan where he was semi-forced.

However, the difficulty of talking to them was still too high.

Krauss and Moan talked to Hoya with various stories, but Hoya's answer was almost the same as yes or no, so the conversation did not continue.

So the conversation was cut off at some point.

Krauss and Moan were just looking at Hoya, who quietly ate food, with a smile on their father's face and a smile on their mother's face.

Sarivan, who was sitting across from him, also had a proud expression on his face.

'Hey, I'm happy to eat.'

'Ho-ho-ho, what a cute thing. The more I see it, the more I like it.'

'Um ha ha ha! After all, my cooking isn't dead yet!'

It was a fact that Hoya herself did not know, but the way Hoya was eating was really pretty.

Hoya's appearance and interest and interest as an adventurer visiting Ordo for the first time were mixed, and he gave them pods.

Even Hoya's short answers seemed to be just reticent.

'Ugh......'

Hoya, who was receiving those gazes as one body, was almost dying.

He didn't know if the food was going through his nose or his mouth.

It was a good thing that the questions and conversations that were coming to Hoya were cut off.

But the interrupted conversation turned into a strong, affectionate gaze and returned to him.

That made Hoya more painful.

Hoya, whose gaze was difficult to bear, thought that their gaze would weaken if they continued to have a conversation.

So, he opened his mouth first by asking about something he had been suspicious of before.

"Hey, Mr. Krauss. I have one question..."

"Comfort, just call me Kraus. What are you curious about more than that?"

“That… I wondered why he held up his sword when he first saw me…”

"iced coffee."

At Hoya's question, Krauss scratched the back of his head and smiled mischievously.

"Actually, Hoya, when I saw you, I mistook you for a subspecies of Tre. I'm so sorry about that!"

"Well... Hoya, your appearance is misunderstood enough. Well, you're better than the adventurers who dyed their hair in rainbows.

Hoya had light brown skin and green hair.

It is said that the appearance of the subspecies that evolved from the enchanting of the forest's magic is similar to that of Hoya.

With that said, Hoya could understand why Krauss had done that in the first place.

"But you should. You should be careful, Krauss."

"No, but the ents also said that Hoya was left alone. Isn't that misleading enough?"

Ents, regardless of their type, have a strong attachment to their territory.

That's why ents don't let beings invade their realm.

That is why there are no other monsters in the forest where the ents are.

Perhaps the ents were also fooled by Hoya's appearance.
