Chapter 30: First Blood.

30-1

After waiting for a while, everyone was gathered at the assigned time near the outermost layer of the forest.

Before moving inside the forest, we were each assigned a role before entering deep inside the forest.

The role of Tank was given to Frank, he was assigned to walk in the front of the group.

The role of the mage was given to Agata and Phil, they were assigned to walk in the center of the group.

The role of the scout was given to me and Idiot A, I was originally assigned to take on the role of the damage dealer but I instead asked them to give me the role of the scout.

We will stay ahead of the group and scout are of any incoming monsters.

Due to my speed and sensory ability, I am very good for the role of scout.

"Looking forward to work with you, partner." Said Idiot A.

This dude is surprisingly nice…..

Well, he was never rude to me in the first place. Maybe I should stop judging people.

"Me too," I said.

The role of Damage dealer was given to idiot B and Lily. They are assigned to walk towards the back of the group.

I got ahead of the group and scouted the area for any possible monsters.

This smell….

I followed the trace of the smell and when I reached the source of the smell, I found a dead deer.

Most of its flesh was eaten away to the point that there were only bones remaining.

I touched the ground to check the blood spilled in the ground, it was still moist. It's safe to assume that the deer's predators are not far away.

The way the dear body was eaten away….. Only killer bunny devours their prey like this.

Killer bunny is a creature that looks just like a normal bunny, but behind that innocent-looking creature is a vicious predator.

Falling for their cuteness will only lead to inevitable doom.

They aren't much threat when they are alone, but they usually live in a horde which makes them more of a threat.

There was more smell of blood coming from the other side of the forest.

I followed the smell to find the killer bunnies.

This time in action, they were eating away another deer. This number of bunnies wasn't much, so I think they will be pretty easy to handle.

Hiding my presence I moved closer to the bunnies.

One the killer bunny was a little away from his hoard, I don't know what this little guy was doing away from his hoard but this is a good chance.

After I got close to a certain distance, I picked up the bunny without getting noticed by the other bunnies.

And of course, I closed its mouth shut with my hand so that he doesn't notify other bunnies.

Sorry bunny I will have to kidnap you, I will use you to teach Agata how to hunt.

I moved back to the group as I jumped from one tree to another.

"There is a hoard of killer bunnies," I said as I stood on the branch of one of the trees holding the bunny that I kidnapped by the neck. The blood of the creature he was eating was still dripping out of his mouth

"How much is their number?" asked Butler. We were also joined by Butler, he was there to protect Agata in unfortunate situations.

"Approximately up to twenty bunnies," I said.

"Okay, you are doing good as a scout." Said Butler praising me. But his voice was as serious as ever.

"Why did you bring that bunny?" asked Agata as she pointed towards the Bunny.

"For you to kill," I said.

"Huh, Kill?" freaked out Agata.

I jumped down the tree near Agata.

"Yes, kill." I said, "Now stab this bunny with your sword."

I wanted her to get used to the blood.

"But, that bunny looks so harmless." She said with a soft voice. I don't blame her to feel bad about the bunny, cause this bunny looks pretty innocent,

I opened bunnies mouth to show her his teeth hidden behind those two cute bunny teeth, what she was a set of sharp teeth that were still red with the blood of the animal he was eating just a moment ago.

"Miss. Agata you have to stab this bunny in order to get used to the blood." Said Butler.

"But-"

"If you can't do this, you can never become like Mrs. Alice." Said Butler.

Butler's words hit her heart like a needle.

She grabbed the knife in her hand tightly, her hands were still shaking. She took a deep breath before stabbing the bunny right in the gut.

Bunny let out a loud screech right before dying.

The blood of the bunny splashed on my face and clothes and it was the same case with Agata.

This will probably traumatize her for a while, but it's necessary to survive in this world.

After that, we found the hoard of the bunny and started hunting them one after another.

We made Agata kill most of the bunnies and she was hesitating less and less to kill the bunnies each time.

After a while, we were done with hunting all the bunnies in the hoard.

I never mentioned this but the monster-type creature drops a crystal as they die and this crystal is called mana crystal, It can be sold for a pretty high price.

This world doesn't have anything like electricity, the gadgets in this world run on mana crystal which is found inside the body of these monsters.

The hobgoblins I killed earlies doesn't count as a monster since they can reproduce and their existence doesn't ruin balance for all creature.

Monsters are an existence that can't reproduce and they ruin balance for all living creatures because of their destructive nature.

"You did good Young miss." Said Butler with a serious tone, I guess he was praising her.

You don't have to praise someone in such a serious tone.

"Thank you! Rocky." Said Agata.

Wait, Rocky who?

"Rocky?" asked Lily.

"Rocky is my Butler's name," replied Agata.

Kind of a surprise, his face doesn't match his name.

"What a lame name," said Frank as he Burst out laughing.

I am surprised about how insensitive Frank can be.

"That's the name I gave myself." Said Butler seriously.

"What were your parents doing when it was your turn to get a name?" Asked Frank.

"They both left me when I was very little." Said Butler, tears welled up in his eyes.

A grown-ass man is crying in front of me, I guess Frank touched his sensitive spot.

"Oh, my bad... I am sorry." Said Frank apologetically.

"It's okay." Said Butler as he wiped his tears,

he continued " Life is good since the day I was saved by Mr. Gerver from the place I used to live. Its been thirty years since I have been serving the Gerver family now. I truly thank full to them."

That's a good backstory,

but the thing I am most curious about is what kind of environment this man lived in that he thought naming himself rocky would be a good idea.

"But I have a different name now." Said Butler.

Oh, even he realized how stupid his name was.

"I go by Rock now." He said Proudly.

Ha? That doesn't change anything!!!

Why does this guy look so proud after just removing "Y" from his name?

The serious image I had of this guy is ruined.
