4 – Diet(4)

“Nice to meet you. I’m your senior, Brick.”

The next day, as promised, I went to the training ground. There was Andrew and a big man. He introduced himself as Brick and was very large. He also had a very rugged appearance.

Well, I’m not in a position to say anything about my appearance. At least that guy looks like a human. Anyway, from my point of view, he was the only shooter and senior, so I greeted him right away.

“Hello! I’m Hans, a new recruit!”

“Your voice is full of spirit. I like it.”

“I’m glad you liked it. I hope you’ll let me know.”

“All right.”

Andrew patted me on the back and asked. Brick responded by even saluting. I was immediately put to work with Brick. The work of the refugee camp guards was more than expected.

Go outside and pick up supplies. Occasionally, they have search duties such as hunting animals or scouting ruined villages. A security guard who guards the village during the daytime and at night.

And finally, to the patrol duty of patrolling refugee camps. I knew it, but it was more dangerous and difficult than I thought. Well, that’s why the guards get more preferential treatment.

“First of all, you’re a recruit. You won’t be put into search work.”

“Are you taking turns doing the search?”

“Yeah, because no one likes to go out.”

“All right.”

The wooden fence surrounding the refugee camp is like a lifeline to us. But to go out of that fence, literally, you have to be prepared for death. So I can’t help but hate it.

But I have no choice but to do it even if I don’t want to. Like it or not, to find a way back to the original world. In the end, I have no choice but to go outside. Then, of course, I have no choice but to fight the monsters.

Of course, avoiding it with a time stop is also a way. Because I might not be able to use the time stop. After all, I have no choice but to fight someday. I should prepare in advance from now on.

“This is the most important place.”

“It looks like an old warehouse.”

“It’s a food warehouse that stores food.”

“oh…….”

I was able to get more information from Brick than I thought. And that the situation in the refugee camp is not so good. Currently, the number of people accommodated in the refugee camp is about 300.

And among them, there are 50 guards. Normally, it was an excessive amount of troops. In the current situation, he said, he had no choice but to keep soldiers even if it was too much to do.

But here a problem arose. All the personnel who had recently gone hunting or searching had returned empty-handed. Thanks to this, food that was already scarce has become more scarce.

“They’re surviving by cultivating turnips, potatoes, and beans, but even that will soon reach their limits.”

“okay.”

“Still, we’re on the good side. It’s not bad enough to throw in sawdust at least.”

“…”

Although the bread made from ground turnips and kneaded with flour was not very good to eat. Certainly, much better than grinding sawdust into it. First of all, turnips are food that people eat.

Anyway, today’s work is finally over. I returned the equipment I received as a supply to the guards and returned home. I was actually trying to go back. If it weren’t for the little ones.

Although the sun is almost going down already. The red-haired kid was sitting near the gym and dozing off. I laughed out loud. what the hell are you doing here?

“You’ll catch a cold if you sleep here. Get up early.”

“Hmm… mister?”

“Yes, mister. So please wake up.”

I didn’t expect to wait until this hour. If I knew it would be like this, I would have said something in advance. Do you look extremely sleepy? The little boy staggered and ended up in my arms.

“I’m sleepy… I want to sleep more…”

“Anyway, he’s a guy who needs a lot of hands.”

“…”

I hugged the little boy reluctantly. Because I can’t leave it here. And realized at the same time. I don’t know this kid’s house. First of all, you know where to use it.

It’s not like I’m going to play at a kid’s house like this now. Maybe when I go out to play, I will be warned by the little boy’s parents. I quickly tried to shake the little boy to wake him up.

The more I did, the more the little boy burrowed into my arms. Well, it’s still cold. I waited outside for such a long time. I can’t help it, I have no choice but to take you home today.

I put the little boy on my back and walked forward. The house of the time stop breeder was a tent located in the corner of the refugee camp. It’s already out of town, and the condition of the tent isn’t very good.

It was a perfect place to freeze to death if you didn’t light a fire. Of course, firewood did not spring from the sky. The time stop breeder solved that by using time stop.

So, did you go out and cut trees yourself? can it be Of course, I stole firewood from another house and used it. Not any onions. Waves and waves How come there is no end? really.

“Um…”

“Wait a minute. I won’t burn the bonfire.”

I immediately brought firewood. It’s not the firewood that the time stop breeding man stole. I went out and cut firewood myself. Gather firewood. Put a fire on it and that’s it.

As soon as the bonfire was lit, the little boy’s expression became more comfortable. I sighed and laughed while watching it. I don’t know anything else, but he’s an unnecessarily honest guy in everything. That should be enough.

After confirming that the little boy had fallen asleep, I immediately got up. Again, the surroundings began to turn gray. I’m done with my work. Now is the time to train.

Time flew by.

So far, there have been some successes. First, the cooldown of Time Stop is slightly shorter. However, I did not measure the cooldown myself. One day, I suddenly realized it instinctively.

Come to think of it, I said that gifts greatly develop depending on the user’s capabilities. does it have anything to do with it? However, the cooldown did not decrease significantly. If the existing was about twice as much.

About 1.9 times now? But this is good news. Just by using it a lot, it means that the cooldown of Time Stop is reduced. In addition to his abilities, there were changes to his body as well.

“It looks like you’re training hard.”

“thank you.”

“It’s not empty words. My stamina has improved quite a bit.”

“Always working hard.”

Andrew was a better teacher than I thought. Learn the swordsmanship and taijutsu taught by him. Review it using time stop. Of course, it was a great workout.

Thanks to that, the fat started to burn tremendously. Of course, it’s a lot better than before. Even now, the fact that it is a pig remains unchanged. Should I say that I have become less of a pig?

Anyway, the result of training every single day and working hard. Even within the guards, he gained some trust. Of course, he is still called Ugly Hans. It was fine though.

If you stay like this, you can become stronger.

I thought so.

However, life doesn’t always go the way you want it to. It was a time when I was training hard that day as well. An urgent alarm bell echoed from the village entrance. My body froze for a moment.

“……A demon has invaded?!”

“Recruit! Get your weapon quickly!”

“yes yes!!!”

It’s been peaceful lately, so I forgot about it for a while. That this world is not strange even if monsters suddenly invade one day. No, on the contrary, it lasted longer than I thought.

I quickly grabbed armor and weapons from the guards. I ran to the wooden fence with Brick. At the entrance, I could see the guards holding weapons and confronting the monsters.

stay calm, stay calm I took a deep breath. And I checked what kind of monster was confronting the guards. It was a wolf with black fur. It was twice the size of a normal wolf.

It also had sharp horns that looked like swords on its head. Blade Wolf, a mid-level monster from the game. The level in the game is from 20 to about 40. Fortunately, there was no regenerative ability.

“It’s dangerous. There are so many Blade Wolves.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything.”

“You’re going to take care of everything? What is that…”

I put my hand on the doorknob without saying a word. At the same time, the surroundings began to turn gray around me. Fortunately, I didn’t use time stop this time. The cooldown didn’t run.

If this was a cooldown… … Ooh, I hate to imagine.

At first, I thought about dealing with him without using the time stop ability. To be honest, I wasn’t sure yet. So I decided to take care of them using the time stop ability to be sure.

“Mistress. You’re f*cking tough.”

Unfortunately, I didn’t have a swordsman-like skill that could cut everyone down at once. What do you mean? That is, one bird at a time. It must be killed for sure. It even took quite a while.

“Wow, do I have to do this one by one?”

At first, I thought the time stop ability was really cool. Because I really did this. The image is different from what I thought. I whimpered and decapitated the last remaining wolf.

At the same time, the time stop was released.

And people saw

all the wolves are dead My figure standing alone in the center.
