Apology for Suicide

　With his axe in hand, Akira fled first in the opposite direction of the werewolf, getting far enough away.
　Had he been noticed, he would have most certainly been killed, but the fact that he was able to see the figure from a distance using binoculars probably helped.
　In the end, Akira was able to escape from the place where the werewolf had appeared.

"…………Well then. Here's where the problem begins."

　With a muttered remark, Akira turned his feet to the neighboring town, which was dominated by Orcs.
　All the monsters that appeared along the way were turned into experience. Akira then stepped into the city.

"…………"

　Cautiously, he proceeded through the city.
　Unlike other cities, there was only one type of monster that appeared in this city, with the exception of the bosses. Akira vividly remembered that the boss was also a monster called a High Orc, which seemed to be a higher species of the monsters that haunted the city.
　The Orcs must have gone on a rampage during the past few days. Akira made his way through the city, past cracked pavement, broken telephone poles, punctured houses, and destroyed vehicles, until finally, he spotted the monster.

　A house in a residential neighborhood.

　There was no doubt about those two monsters that ravaged and half-collapsed that house, devouring the food that was stashed in it. Orcs.
　Perhaps they were so hungry that they were fighting each other, and the sight of their mouths stained red was not pleasant to watch, no matter how much one repeated this world.
　Akira carved a deep crease between his eyebrows and exhaled slowly to suppress his twitching stomach.


(……Let's get this over with. How's the reinforced level of these guys? )


　Musing in his mind, Akira activated Analysis.

"……Hmm. About the same as I am now, I guess. Just the right partner to level with.)

　Akira's mouth twitched when he saw Orc's status.
　Then, as if determined, he swallowed hard and clenched his fists, quietly emerging from the shadows and raising his voice to attract attention.


"Hey, you pigs!! "


　At the sound of his voice, the Orcs' hands snapped to a halt.
　The Orcs then turned around and, perhaps not expecting anyone to go out of their way to call out to them, looked at Akira with a surprised look on their faces when they spotted him.
　Then, the Orcs immediately smile hideously and spew out words that Akira did not recognize.

"――. ――, ――――! ! "

　He did not know what was said.
　But it soon became clear that it was not a friendly statement.
　The words uttered by one Orc elicited a giggle from his fellow Orc.
　The Orcs then picked up the iron swords they had left by their sides and slowly walked up to Akira.

"――――! ! "

　The Orc said something more.
　But, as expected, Akira didn't understand those words.
　So Akira gave a small snort and a contemptuous smile and glared at Orc.


"I don't understand a word you pigs say."


　The meaning of the words that Akira spat out could not have been conveyed to the Orcs.
　Still, they must have gotten the message that Akira was making fun of them.
　The Orcs raised their iron swords in their hands as they shouted in a rage that seemed to echo in the sky.
　Akira turned his gaze toward the iron sword, and instead of fleeing or intercepting it, he very naturally surrendered his body to it.


"Buoooooooooooo!! "

　The iron sword, wielded with an Orc roar, sliced through Akira's stomach.


"U-Ahg!! "


　Akira's voice escaped his mouth as intense pain shot through his entire body.
　However, a single blow would not kill him. Unlike before, his body had become strong and tough, and while he was slashed by the iron sword, his body was not cut in two, only his flesh was slashed.
　In addition, the fact that he had acquired Auto Regen may have had an impact.
　Akira could even afford to smile despite the attack, which would normally have left him unable to move.


(……Raising the level of physical strengthening was a mistake. This way, I can't die right away when I want to.)


　But even if he thought so, there was nothing he could do about it now.
　Akira let out a small gasp and tossed the battle-axe in his hand toward the Orcs, laughing as he did so.


"With such a shitty knife, it must be hard to kill a man, right?　I'll lend you my axe. I guarantee the sharpness, okay? "


　The Orcs seemed perplexed by his words and actions.
　They never thought that there were people in this world who would not die even if they were cut down by them. In addition, he also gave them the weapon he had on hand.
　They looked as if they wanted to say that they had never met such a person before.
　Akira smiled coldly at these Orcs and further spoke up.

"Just kill me. You guys can kill me, but only this time. There won't be a next time."

　The Orcs did not understand the meaning of those words.
　But when you ask them to kill you, then they will kill you as you wish.
　The Orcs smiled as if to say so, and then howled as they held the axe that Akira had tossed in their hands.


"Buoooooooooo!! "


　The Orc with the axe brandished it wide, and this time swung it down at Akira.
　As Akira gazed at the trail, he mouthed an apology to Nao in his mind.


(……I'm sorry, Nao-san. From now on, just bear with it…… for a little while more.)


　And thus Ichijou Akira...
　He was killed by a minotaur's battle axe in the Orc's hand, which split his cranium open and killed him with a single blow.
