I'm not that kind of orc

"Yes, some students witnessed her being forcibly taken away by Feilan yesterday. When she came back, her whole body was soaked. I'm afraid she was done something excessive..."

"This...is no one in charge? What are the people in the academy doing?" I couldn't help frowning.

That blond hair is bad, maybe because I lost to me in the duel the day before yesterday, so I blame Angelica...

Angelica appeared in that forest yesterday, did she really just come for a walk...

"In fact, very early on, the college specially arranged for teachers to come forward to deal with this matter. I asked classmate Angelika about it, but she refused to say anything. If she herself refuses to testify... even if others want to help She can't help either." Princess Alisa shook her head bitterly.

"Why? Did she get caught for something?"

"I don't know, no one can ask the reason from her mouth. Well, Classmate Bullock, if it's possible, I think... can you..." Princess Alisa hesitated to speak.

"Wish I could get something out of her?" I said for her.

"Yes, if she could just open up to you..."

"I don't think she trusts me that much, but if I get the chance, I'll try."

"Then I will trouble you." Princess Alisa saluted me.

"It's ok."

After all, the intensification of her bullying may have something to do with me.

Inadvertently, I turned my head and glanced in the direction Angelica left.

The half-elf was no longer there.

When I returned to the dormitory after class, I carried tools and firewood and walked straight to the open space yesterday.

Let's go hunting today too, and by the way, set up a few simple traps to catch prey where no one will go.

Thinking this way in my mind, I pushed aside the extremely thick grass leaves that grew in summer and stepped into the open space, only to find that someone was already sitting there waiting.

"It's you, Angelica." I greeted her, "Good evening."

The petite half-elf turned her head, with a faint smile on her face.

"Come to eat barbecue? Wait a moment, I'm going to hunt some prey and come back now, otherwise we can only pick wild vegetables to eat tonight." I sat down in front of the stone stove that hadn't started a fire yet, and prepared to tidy up my tools .

But she shook her head at me, picked up the branch and wrote on the ground: "No need to go."

"Huh?" I didn't understand.

"I brought a return gift today," she wrote again.

"Return gift?"

Under my puzzled gaze, she got up and grabbed two dead rabbits from the other side of the stone stove, and showed me them.

"Is this... what you hunted?" I was slightly taken aback.

She nodded, with a slightly smug expression on her face.

It's not easy. Although rabbits are not dangerous, they are not so easy to catch. These little things run extremely fast and are very good at digging around.

I didn't expect this girl to be able to hunt. She must have learned it in a human village before.

She brought the rabbit down in front of me, picked up a branch and wrote on the ground: "Let's eat together."

Do you mean one person...

To be honest, these two rabbits combined are not enough for me to squeeze between my teeth.But anyway, it was hunted by others hard, so let's eat less tonight.

"Wait a minute, didn't I tell you that there are beasts in the woods?" I suddenly remembered this when I grabbed the knife and was about to start cooking the two rabbits.

"That beast is nocturnal," she wrote on the ground.

"Some ferocious beasts will wake up as soon as they smell the scent of their prey. You should be careful."

I shook my head, peeled the skin, peeled off the fascia, and removed the offal that was inconvenient to eat, then took it to the stream to wash and drain, simply sprinkled the seasoning I got from the canteen, pierced it with a roasting fork, and then brushed with oil , Then light a fire in the stone stove and put the grill on the spit.

"Hey, don't get too close to the fire, it will burn your hair." I reminded Angelica, whose eyes were shining and her face was approaching, while holding the roasting fork with both hands and turning it over.

The fat coated on the surface of the meat sizzled under the grilling, and soon the aroma diffused around.Unlike the wild boar yesterday, this small prey was almost roasted within a quarter of an hour. After checking the heat, I handed Angelica a roasting fork.

She sniffed it expectantly and narrowed her eyes intoxicated.

But before she was about to stutter, she suddenly seemed to remember something and glanced over at me.

"Why?" I was puzzled by her.

She didn't say anything, moved a little distance silently and turned around, and then began to eat.

Is that why you don't want people to see you eating?Judging from her posture, she is indeed devouring...

But to be honest, we orcs don't care that much about table manners, and this girl is probably making too much of a fuss.

I grabbed my share and bit down.

——Almost just two or three mouthfuls and it was finished.

The roasted rabbit was tasty, but sure enough, it was still too little.

The guy also finished eating almost at the same time, turned around and put the roasting fork back to the stove, his mouth was stuffed.

Such a small mouth to eat as fast as me...Huh?

I suddenly frowned.

When she leaned forward and stretched out her hand towards the stone stove, the sleeves rolled down a little bit, and I saw that there seemed to be a bruise extending from her arm.

"Hi!" I called out to her.

She turned her face away, swallowed the last bite of food in her mouth, and tilted her head suspiciously at me.

"Your arm, hurt?" I pointed to her right arm.

She was obviously stunned for a moment, then picked up a branch and wrote: "When I was hunting just now, I accidentally fell—"

"Don't scare me." Before she finished writing, I interrupted her, "How could a bruise of that degree be a recent injury?"

Angelica was stuck there with her head down so I couldn't see her face.

It appears she was treated more severely than expected.

"You... were you beaten?" I remembered what Princess Alisa told me this morning, and decided to ask her now.

Angelica didn't respond.

"Is that the girl named Feilan?" I asked again.

Still no response.

"Why did you—" The third question came to an abrupt end.

Because she suddenly erased the previous words and quickly wrote:

"It's none of your business."

Not only that, but she raised her head to look over.

The extremely indifferent expression, the kind of vigilance like a wild animal appeared in her eyes again.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

I was taken aback by her sudden change of attitude, and I couldn't continue the question.

She stared at me for a moment, then lowered her head again and wrote, "Please stop meddling."

Before I could form words, she got up indifferently, and walked straight to the outside of the forest without saying hello.

I stared blankly at her back, unable to think of words to persuade her to stay.

I have no idea what this guy is thinking...

She didn't come back for a few days after that.

What happened to that half-elf...

That guy doesn't seem cowardly, and he doesn't seem like a character who would swallow such things.

no reason...

"Student Bullock!"

The voice of calling brought me back to my senses: "Ah, what's the matter?"

I turned to look at Princess Alisa beside me.

"Well... I don't think it's appropriate to build the stage not according to the drawings. And..." She looked a little embarrassed, raised her hand and pointed in front of me.

I looked in the direction she pointed, and couldn't help but froze.

A simple fence built with wooden poles surrounded the two drama club girls who were sitting on the ground making props.

No matter how you look at it, it is the animal pen I used to build in the tribe.

The faces of the two girls in the cage were full of horror, and they cuddled together and kept shaking.

"Ah, I'm very sorry!" I apologized again and again, and hurriedly removed the fence.

"Wow wow wow wow wow!" The two liberated girls immediately ran away crying.

"Ken Lisi, Emma!" Princess Alisa failed to stop them.

"It's scary, to build a cage to lock people in it, and to be so skillful..."

"The usual methods of the orcs are exactly the same as those in the book."

"Accidentally revealed my true nature..."

I heard the whispers of a few girls who were working not far behind.

I covered my forehead in frustration.
