#43

 

Having gotten some loot, I hurriedly blocked Ruan’s nagging and pushed his back.

 

Mm, a combination of handsome men. Very nice. What a picture.

 

As Ruan and Sophia rode on Lunatice’s back and departed for the village, I trudged toward Gerald, who was grinning ear to ear while watching the blazing house.

 

I had been waiting for this moment. Of course, everyone would have.

 

Not only stalking Sophia, but also kidnapping, attempted murder, arson, animal killing…

 

No matter how much he had the setting of a third-rate villain, Gerald had crossed the line by far.

 

“Demon Summoning (Evocation).”

 

-Hey, are you going to keep bothering me by calling?!

 

I summoned Antragorn 1 again after dismissing the summon and returning him to his original position.

 

“…Did you bring what I asked for?”

 

-Here you go. But what are you planning to use this for?

 

“Hehehe… I have uses for it.”

 

-…Look at those venomous eyes. Ugh, whoever it is, I feel sorry for them. Oh right. The house repairs are almost finished, so come back quickly. Well, I’m going!

 

I stuffed the item Antragorn 1 gave me into my pocket and headed toward Gerald.

 

“Excuse me.”

 

“Hehe, serves you right… Uhheok! Wh-what a surprise!!”

 

When I approached silently and spoke to him, Gerald was startled and let out a shriek.

 

‘Ugh, that face really…’

 

Gerald’s face was spread out like jelly thrown against a wall, making my fist automatically twitch, but I held back and continued speaking.

 

“Um… I have a favor to ask.”

 

“Hey shit*, who dares to call this body… Huhheok.”

 

Gerald, whose every word reeked of cheapness, changed his attitude like flipping his palm when he turned around and faced me.

 

He hurriedly nodded his head, brushed his disheveled bangs a couple of times, then lowered his voice as much as possible and answered.

 

“Ahem! As you can see, this place is dangerous because we’re demolishing the house, so what brings you here, lovely miss?”

 

He set the fire himself and now talks about demolition.

 

As I missed the timing to respond due to being dumbfounded, Gerald shamelessly continued.

 

“Hmm? Ah, did you perhaps get lost? I mean the shortcut to my heart. Hahaha!”

 

My lips trembled involuntarily at Gerald’s outdated pickup lines. However, Gerald, who had about as much sense as Ruby, approached me with a foolish expression.

 

“May I ask one question before I go blind from your stunning beauty?”

 

“Just go blind now… I mean, what is it?”

 

“Were you banished from heaven, or did you come down voluntarily?”

 

“What…”

 

“Or was it a crash landing, angel who lost her wings?”

 

Ah… Shit.

 

I was seized by the urge to tear apart Gerald’s stinking mouth that was spouting all sorts of nonsense.

 

“Zoe, that human seems completely insane…”

 

That’s what I’m saying.

 

“Ahem, my name is Gerald Rasven. I’m the eldest son of the Rasven Marquis family. No-bi-li-ty. Chahahat!”

 

“…Oh my, is that so. What bullsh-, I mean Gerald sir, I have something to say, could you come a bit closer?”

 

“Look at this, what a bold miss! Hahaha! Then shall we close the distance between us a bit more?”

 

You switched to informal speech there, you bastard.

 

Well then, shall we fix Gerald’s manners first?

 

“…Get ready, and shoot!”

 

I powerfully struck Gerald’s jaw with an angry punch as he approached with his eyes closed and lips puckered.

 

“Uh, uuubbbub, what is thiiiis, ugeoeoeoeoek!”

 

Critical x1000000!

 

If this were a fighting game, it would have been a strong punch worthy of an immediate KO.

 

Gerald let out a heavy scream, soared into the sky in a parabolic arc, then crashed into the ground.

 

[【System】 Alert! ‘Gerald Rasven’s’ vital signs are faint.ദ്ദി ◠‿◠)]

 

The System, which rarely showed emotions, gave a thumbs up.

 

System Administrator, you were also waiting for this satisfying development…?

 

“Zoe, that was an awesome punch! I really chose a good master! Kyuuuu!!!”

 

“Oh, Ruby… I was just lightly warming up.”

 

“As expected… even the Demon King would stick out their tongue…”

 

“Huh? What did you say?”

 

“N-nothing. Zoe…”

 

I tilted my head while looking at Ruby who was muttering something about the Demon King, then slowly approached Gerald who had collapsed disgracefully, foaming at the mouth.

 

“Keu, keueoeoeoek.”

 

Hmm, I was thinking of making him a eunuch so he couldn’t reproduce at all.

 

To think he’d collapse like that from just one punch… Tsk.

 

I had high expectations but it ended too anticlimactically, dampening my excitement.

 

This won’t even fill today’s strength training quota.

 

“…As expected, I did well to ask Antragorn 1 for ‘this.'”

 

With a satisfied smile, I finally took out the mysterious something I had carefully kept in my pocket.

 

This thing I asked for even while re-summoning the ill-tempered Antragorn 1.

 

It was a small, round fruit of bizarre shape with tiny protrusions attached all over it.

 

“…transform into that.”

 

I held the strange fruit with a deep purple tint tightly in both hands, whispered softly, then threw it into Gerald’s mouth.

 

“Attica, it’s time to give him water.”

 

When I poured water into his mouth with Attica, Gerald’s Adam’s apple moved up and down, then gulp! It went down.

 

I quietly began counting to three in my mind.

 

3, 2, 1…

 

Pop!

 

A hard reddish-brown shell sprouting from his back and long antennae.

 

Six thin, slender legs.

 

That thing that frequently appeared in one corner of the small goshiwon room during my job-hunting days.

 

That thing that made my blood run cold with its unpleasant rustling sounds whenever the lights went out…

 

“Ugh, he really turned into a cock…roach?”

 

I couldn’t bring myself to say the full name, so I muted part of it.

 

I looked down at Gerald who had become a cockroach and grimaced.

 

“Zoe, what did you just feed that human?!”

 

“Ah, this is an Insectification Fruit. If you make a wish and swallow this fruit, you become the insect I was thinking of.”

 

“Aha, so that’s why that human became a bug? Zoe, can I play with that thing?!”

 

“Sure, just don’t kill him, Ruby.”

 

Ruby rolled around cockroach Gerald like a soccer ball as he crawled on the floor trying to escape.

 

“Ahhh! Why, why do I look like this! Get, get away! Uwup… St-stop it!”

 

Good grief, now I can even understand insect language.

 

When this first came out of the random seed, I wondered what I’d use it for… but indeed, everything has its use, right?

 

By the way, this insectification lasts for a week.

 

It was a fitting end for Gerald who had been acting like a pest.

 

Hehe, let’s see how well you survive in this place crawling with cockroach predators.

 

“Ruby! You can’t eat that! It’s dirty, spit it out quickly!”

 

“Hng, kyuuu… Ptui.”

 

“Come on, let’s hurry to the village. If we’re any later, Ruan will scold us.”

 

“No way, Zoe could beat that human too?!”

 

Well, of course I probably could, but…

 

I promised Ruan I’d return quickly.

 

Sigh, for some reason I can’t refuse Ruan’s words.

 

I fingered the blue gem hanging on my necklace and looked at Ruby.

 

“…Ruby, are you hungry? Let’s go back to the Village and eat.”

 

“Yes!!! I’m so hungry! Kyuu!”

 

From the Forest that was gradually growing distant, Gerald’s screams echoed as he encountered his natural enemy.

 

“Ahhhhh, I want to go back!”
