Chapter 14 – First Monster.
After a few minutes the maid had finished washing the meat.
She reached my side and left the meat on top of some clean leaves she had caught on the way.
The maid went to the forest again, when she left there, she had some stones in her hand.
She started to set up a fire pit with the stones.
She took a few sticks and washed them too, soon after, she began to stick the meat on all the sticks.
"Can you light the fire?" The maid asked as she put some wood into the fire pit she had created.
I lit the fire with magic, because there was no problem doing it, soon after, the maid put the meat to roast on the fire.
"Won't smell attract monsters?" I asked the maid as I watched the meat roasting.
Well, some monster could appear because of the smell of roasting meat.
I haven't seen any monsters in this world yet, so I don't know if I would be prepared to fight one.
But if I use magic I think I might be able to win.
'I have to test the magic of body reinforcement.' My body was already quite sturdy, had an unusual resistance, if I use the reinforcement magic I believe I will get much more powerful.
Even if monsters show up, I think I can take care of them quickly.
"I don't think monsters will appear here." The maid said, but she had a not very confident voice.
I think the maid doesn't know if the monsters could appear either, in this matter, she is useless.

After a while the meat was ready.
The meat was unsalted, of course because we had not put any spices.
But still it was still edible, so we would have to eat quickly to continue the trip, because I can't wait to get to town.
After a few minutes we had finished eating, so the maid put the fire out of the fire and we continued the journey.
The maid said the city was still 2 days away, so we would still have to walk for a long time.
"What is the city of Gerok like?" I asked the maid as we walked quickly.
"Well, it's not a very big city, but it's a considerable size." The maid seemed to know the city quite a lot in my view.
The maid said that in the city the most important place was where the mayor was, it looks like a mansion right in the middle of the city.
And other most important places in the city is where most of the city's profit comes from.
These are the guilds, the adventurer guild and the merchant guild.
'This is just like those stories I read.' Even guilds exist, so there must be adventurers, It must be so much fun to be adventurous, can I become adventurous with my current strength?
Well, I would have to see what to do when I get to town, but most likely I will go to the adventurer guild, because I will need money to survive.
I hope we get there soon.

We had been walking for another whole day, during the trip several carriages passed by us, but none of them offered help.
'Sometimes I feel like blowing them all up.' The people in this world are totally arrogant, and no one offers help to anyone.
This world was certainly different from what I was used to, but I was still enjoying staying here.
Traveling like this is great, I've never had a chance to do that in my old life.
"Let's hide." While I was lost in thought the maid pulled me behind a boulder on the side of the road.
I don't know what had happened, but she seemed to be hiding from something.
'What is she hiding from?' I kept looking where the maid was looking, this thing the maid was looking at was hiding in the middle of the forest, so I can't see very well.
After waiting for 2 minutes a huge monster came out of the woods, he was huge I think he must be about 3 meters high.
He was extremely fat and had a pig-like face.
'Is this an Orc?' In many stories I have heard of Orcs, but I never thought they would be so ugly.
But why is the maid hiding from him? Ah I forgot, the maid has no weapon.
"Can I kill he?" I spoke softly to the maid so that the Orc wouldn't hear me.
"If you can, I think it's better to kill him with magic, because an Orc has a lot of strength." The maid seemed a little worried about my safety.
Why is she worried about me? If I die she could run away, right?
Well, whatever, it's time to kill my first monster.
I think this time I will try a magic like fantasy anime protagonists use.
I began to imagine large spikes of ice rising from the ground, spikes sharp enough to cut any flesh.
"Ice" Again I said just one random word.
When I said that, several thorns came up from the ground where the Orc was. The thorns pierced the Orc and tore all its flesh, the Orc could not even scream, he died immediately.
'That's disgusting.' Orc's blood was totally green, it looked like someone had been throwing up everywhere.
"That was impressive." The maid stepped out from behind the stone and stared at my magic, it seems she had never seen anyone use magic.
"Have you never seen anyone use magic like that?" I asked the maid, as I had never seen anyone else use magic.
"No, usually to use magic, one has to use a magic chant." The maid said as she continued to admire the fully pierced and torn Orc's body.
So this was how it works?
Well, it's true that no one here had an imagination like mine.
I can't imagine singing a spell out loud, i think that would be extremely embarrassing from my point of view.
Just that with my current look, that would surely be cute.
"Let's continue?" While I was thinking about unnecessary things, the maid called my attention to keep going.
After that we keep walking towards the city, I can't wait to get there.
