Chapter 57: One Month Later“I got it!” (Hiiro)Bushushushushu (Sound of running on a forest ground)Hiiro stabbed a large rat with his Thorn Sword-Piercer. Blood gushed from the rat’s body as it collapsed on the ground and stopped moving. He flicked the blood off the sword before placing it in its scabbard.“Fu~, there’re so many monsters here.” (Hiiro)Hiiro grumbled. One month passed since he departed from Passion. He was currently in the [Glutton Forest]. It was also referred to as the “Forest of Gluttony.” Many monsters decided to make this forest their habitat.Just walking around for a bit would cause someone to encounter a monster. Even up till this moment, Hiiro had barely made any progress through the forest. Of course, this greatly irritated him.If one were to look behind him, they would see a numerous amount of monster corpses. Hiiro wanted to say that instead of this road being a Gabranth’s Trail, it was more like a Monster’s trail. However, as Arnold, who would usually interject with his tsukommis, was not here, Hiiro felt himself grow a bit lonely.“I’ve been camping everyday, huh? My MP recovery is quite low. If possible, I’d like to avoid using magic…” (Hiiro)He wanted to tear through the forest path with <>, however, it wasn’t clear if a town was up ahead. There might still be a long way to go, so it was best not to use magic recklessly.Gusa… (Sound of someone stepping on something)Hiiro drew his sword, anticipating some sort of an attack“Kuikuikuikui” (?)“Oh…it’s you.” (Hiiro)It was the Raidpic, Mikazuki. One month ago she (big surprise) started travelling with him. She was unable to help him fight off the monsters so Hiiro just told her to go hide somewhere whenever there was an encounter.“Make sure you stay close.” (Hiiro)“Kui” (Mikazuki)They began advancing until Hiiro abruptly stopped.“Gods, this is a gloomy forest. There is also this…” (Hiiro)He looked at the thing before him. To be more precise, he looked UP at the thing before him.“Is this the boss?” (Hiiro)“Ku, kukukuikuikui!” (Mikazuki)Mikazuki let out a surprised cry as she looked at the giant before her.It loomed over them at a height of five meters tall. Not only this, but it possessed arms that were large enough to destroy trees in one sweep and muscular legs that couldn’t be damage by flimsy attacks. It was a monster that held the ferocity of a gorilla and a bear. Fang-like teeth lined its mouth.While observing the monster, Hiiro searched his memory, pulling up what he knew about his current foe.“Although it’s my first time meeting one, I’m pretty sure this is an S-rank monster called a Troll” (Hiiro)“Garugaaaaaaaaaa!” (Troll roaring)It was certainly making a racket. This was probably the leader of this territory, and Hiiro just intruded into it turf.”
DonDonDonDonDonDonDonDon (Drumming)

As a warning, it began pounding on a drum. It was so loud that it hurt Hiiro’s ears.

The troll clasped both hands together, aiming at Hiiro as it swung its arms down on him like a hammer. (TL: Help here) (E: Not an easy one. I think it’s trying to say that the troll made a hammer with its hands by bringing them both together.)

“Run away.” (Hiiro)

“Kuiiiii!” (Mikazuki)

Following his order, Mikazuki fled and hid nearby.

“Yoto!” (Hiiro)

Hiiro barely dodged the attack. However, it was a careless move.

Dogoooooooo! (Sound of ground being smashed, sending a shockwave)

The ground shattered under the troll’s fists, causing Hiiro’s feet to become stuck in the rubble. He began to regret that he hadn’t moved further away when he was dodging.

The troll took that chance to try and grab Hiiro. Although he was off balance, Hiiro still managed to slash at its hand. From the wound, blood began spurting out.

“Come and get me, fat ass.” (Hiiro)

Hiiro’s words and movements angered the Troll. It threw a punch at him, yet Hiiro was already out of its range. He easily dodged the attack, however, he felt a blast o
