Scum-lesse Oblige, I Have Been Reincarnated as a Scum Villain in an 18+ Game World, and I Absolutely Want to Grasp the Mob Life with the Power of My Knowledge of the Original Story - Chapter 11

The Mighty Hunter

Geese’s POV

My heart can’t stop throbbing.

Enrique.

It is a name every adventurer knows.

There isn’t a single person in the adventurer’s guild who don’t know that name.

A monster.

He is a true monster who knocked on the adventurer’s guild’s door and reached S-rank within just a few years.

“Heehhh!”

Under the pressure of the man in front of me, I can’t breathe properly.

He is literally on a different level than me.

S-rank—the inhuman realm.

It’s said that the rank most adventurers aim for is A-rank, because S-rank adventurers and beyond are considered those who has transcended from humanity.

Yeah, S-rank is not something I can aim for.

In the first place, it’s not something one can achieve just by determination.

This is a common understanding among adventurers.

Moreover…

Is that really Enrique…?

I can’t stop trembling at the sight of him.

I’ve heard that even among the S-rank adventurers, which is said to have many insane people, there is no one as insane as Enrique.

Rumors has it that he once clashed with a certain noble due to the noble’s arrogant behaviour, and upon returning, he had single-handedly defeated the noble’s private soldiers, leaving none of them standing.

The adventurer’s guild, whose reputation had been tarnished, was of course furious. They decided to revoke Enrique of his rank and expel him, and the guild even sent S-rank and A-rank adventurers to hunt him, but even they couldn’t capture Enrique.

Despite being an S-rank adventurer, the guild had no choice but to expel him.

In other words, Enrique is so strong that even the guild itself couldn’t handle him.

Even the Lyon guild branch manager who is an S-rank adventurer himself, couldn’t land a single blow on Enrique.

‘—he is not human’

The Lyon guild branch manager said so.

Intrigued, I once asked the Lyon guild branch manager about it.

‘What makes him so strong? Does he have any special weapons or equipment?’

To my surprise the branch manager shook his head.

‘What about some kind of special magic? Or is he exceptionally skilled in swordsmanship or something?’

Once again, the branch manager shook his head.

‘So, what makes him so strong? Is it because he is intelligent like you?’

‘It’s simple’

The branch manager, who was once renowned as the ‘God of war’, explained.

‘Simple?’

‘That’s right, simple. It’s not like he is exceptionally skilled with a sword or capable of using special magic or anything like that. The only thing he can do is enhance his body with magic. It’s not that difficult—he doesn’t have a strategy in combat like me. I wouldn’t say I like his fighting style.’

‘From what you just said, he doesn’t sound that strong to me.’

‘What he does is really simple. He overpowers everything with his extraordinary physical strength. He is a from of pure violence without any skill or hesitation. That’s the secret to Enrique’s ‘Devilman’ strength.’

‘Is there really such person?’

I asked so with a skeptical look on my face.

The branch chief just chuckled and looked at me.

‘You’ll understand when you meet him. When you see that monstrous strength of his.’

Now I understand.

I can sense the absurd and overwhelming aura of strength coming from the man in front of me.

However, I’m confused—

What is going on?

Why is he doing here?

What is he doing with a stupid noble’s son like him?

Enrique is an extremely arrogant man and he especially hates aristocrats.

He is the kind of man who would never obey to others.

So out of all people, why is Enrique with that stupid noble’s son?

“Hey, Enrique. It seems that your clean-up is not finished yet. There is still a guard here, you know?”

“Yeah, young lord. Honestly, it’s embarrassing. I thought I had taken care of them all…”

“You know what? If you’re going to talk big, at least do it properly first.”

“I-I’m sorry, young lord… Forgive me, please! Okay???”

The mighty Enrique, a madman who refuses to obey to anyone, is now hastily making excuses.

During all of this, I’m struggling desperately to free myself.

However, Enrique’s left hand doesn’t even flinch.

Despite that, the two of them are chatting casually, as if they are about to go for a leisurely walk.

“By the way, why do you look so pleased, young master?”

“Well, I’m happy. He just praised me as an ‘ordinary kid. That’s the highest form of compliment, right?”

“…I don’t think that’s a compliment.”

Enrique sighs.

Then, the beautiful maid who is standing behind also joins the conversation.

“What a modest and kind person you are, Ultos-sama! Then, here Ultos-sama, Ahh~”

“Thank you, Riera. But can you please stop with the ‘Ahh~’? Umm, we’re kind of in a hurry right now.”

What is this unbelievably heartwarming conversation unfolding right in front of me?

Is this really the kind of conversation they’re having right in the middle of the enemy’s camp!?

T-These guys are insane…

“So, what are we going to do with this guy?”

As if he just remembered, Enrique asked so.

“That’s enough. Because you’ve praised me, I’ll let you get some sleep. Come on, we don’t have much time.”

“I understand.”

Enrique nods at the boy in front of him.

Enrique is obeying to his words like a dog.

“…ahh!!”

Now I finally understand.

Isn’t it actually the other way around?

We have deluded ourselves into thinking we are the hunters, the strong ones, but what if we’re the only ones attracting something dangerous, something even more powerful?

Upon reflection, it seems likely.

There are many strange things in this situation.

Why did that boy frequently went out to the corridor?

Is it because he really couldn’t go to the bathroom alone?

Or is it to probably examine the structure of this building.

Why did this boy make the maid say ‘Ahh~’ to him?

Is it just to put on a mask and act like a foolish noble’s son?

Or was he suspicious of the food here from the beginning?

Why didn’t that boy drink the liquor here?

Did he really not know about fine liquor?

Or does he probably have a plan from the start?

“…!!!”

Suddenly, Enrique lifts me.

Ah, while the boy’s face is somewhat handsome, he seems like any ordinary noble’s son in other aspects.

I have completely underestimated him, thinking he is just a foolish and reckless brat.

However, right now, the boy’s ordinary appearance is the most terrifying out of them all.

That calm, ordinary demeanor feels much more insane compared to Enrique, who clearly exudes strength.

“Well, it’s the young lord’s order. Good job for your service.”

Enrique says so.

Then the next moment Enrique sends me flying.

“Guhaaa!!!”

He slammed me into the wall.

“Now, let’s go to the soiree, young lord.”

“…this guy is having another reaction of his chuunibyou syndrome.”

The boy said so with a subtle expression as he walks past me, who is lying on the floor.

As my consciousness fades—

“It seems like Gregorio’s army is lacking of talent if everyone here is not enough to take down Enrique at this stage.”

Did he really just say that!?

Just how strong that boy is…

That’s how he really treats Enrique…?

I’ve decided, I’ll stop taking all of these shady jobs.

I’ll work honestly from now on.

I admit that it was a mistake to get involved in this illegal underworld.

I don’t want to be a part of this world, where these formidable people roam, any longer.

That’s right…maybe it’s time to go back to my village…take over the family farm…and live a peaceful and modest life there…

With these thoughts in mind, I close my eyes.

A sense of relief washes over me, knowing I won’t have to deal with these guys anymore.

—and so, Geese, the former C-rank adventurer, decides to return to his village and use the strength he have gained during his days as an adventurer grow the family farm seriously. As a result, he becomes one of the top farmers in the kingdom and earned the title of an ‘S-rank inhuman farmer’ in the near future.
