Reborn As The Villain

Chapter 53 - 48: Creature(1)

Chapter 53: Chapter 48: Creature(1)The village where the hero Luke was born wasn't that far from the city. In fact, it was a mere 30 minutes walk from the city's gates.

Citizens of the city were required to tell the guards of the purpose of their visit outside the city. They must also say where they would go since that would make it easier for the

After looking out the window to see if Lucri was coming back yet, Arnold headed towards Lucri's bag.

"The hell...How can he walk around with this giant bag?" He rummaged inside the bag. "Where did he put it...?"

He suddenly felt something between the camping supplies. It was the same material as paper.

"Did I find it?" He pulled it out and noticed that it was actually a paper bag. "Ah... Huh? What's inside here?"

He knew it was wrong of him to go through the things of others but he was too curious. He felt a piece of cloth after putting his hand inside the bag.

He pulled it out and then his mouth gaped.

"...A sanitary cloth...?" The small cloth gave off a scent of flowers.

'Why would Lucri need these?'

He looked inside the bag and noticed something else.

It was women underwear.

"...."

'...Is he one of those guys who likes to dress up...? I mean he does look like a girl if you looked closely but...'

Arnold shook his head.

"Maybe he's one of those weird people who likes to steal women's underwear for their perverted fetishes?"

But the boy was much too nice of a person to do something like that. Arnold was convinced that none of his guesses were right.

"Uh, sir Nova?"

Arnold's entire body trembled when he heard a familiar voice.

His back was facing the doorway so the person shouldn't be able to see what was in his hands.

"....What are you doing in my bag?"

Lucri, with his hair wet and his skin shining from bathing, came into the room.

"Is, is this yours?"

Arnold showed the sanitary cloth in his hands. He managed to put the underwear away before Lucri saw.

Instantly a red flush appeared on Lucri's face.

"That is...!" Lucri hurriedly grabbed the paper bag and the cloth in Arnold's hands before he could even blink. "T-These are things my sister asked me to buy... H-Hehehe..."

He held the bag behind his back and smiled wryly. Arnold wanted to know why his sister would ask such a thing of him but he remained silent.

"I-Is that so...? In any case, did you see anything suspicious?" In an effort to change the subject, Arnold asked.

Lucri closed his bag after putting his things inside. He shook his head at Arnold's question.

"Just a few stray critters. Besides that, I saw a lot of corpses on my way back to the village."

"Corpses?"

The word made Arnold frown.

"It was the dead carcasses of many different animals and monsters. All of them weren't even killed to be prey, most were only killed and left there."

"So the goblins are killing for sport?"

"I don't think those things were goblins..."

"Why do you say that?" Arnold gulped. He suddenly had a bad premonition.

"There were corpses of orcs and ogres as well..."
