While I was desperately shaking my head, I moved the blade and cut off the horn.
『――! 』
At that moment, the ogre opens its eyes and droops.
It’s so quiet that I think I lost my mind.
Did you calm down for the time being?
『Ah …… u.』
For the time being, there seems to be consciousness.
However, I don’t feel an angry aura.
It calmed down as if a large amount of cold water was thrown on a blazing fire.
『… Is it calm first?』
『Well, both horns are broken. It’ll be a little calm.』
The Kobolds poke with a scissors and clubs to make sure.
“Hey, are you okay with that? Won’t it go rampant again?”
『Don’t worry. It couldn’t move even in a violent state, so it won’t move further with its horns broken.』
Talking about that, Kobold crawls while saying, “What?”
On the other hand, Ogre keeps whispering in a groaning voice.
Please stop it. I feel sorry.
『… Please kill me. I’ve already lost.』
Ogre whispering with a stubborn voice that cannot be imagined from it’s previous violent state.
What happened? This weird change is …
『My horns arebroken. I no longer have the power to fight. Please do it at once … 』
“… Do ogres lose their willpower, not only their strength, if you break all their horns?”
I turn to face the Kobolds while asking.
『No, I really don’t know that.』
『We are not ogres.』
Kobolds say things bluntly.
『… Horns are of utmost importance, and our pride for us. It is a source of power, and if it is lost, it is equal to powerlessness.』
Anyway, it seems to be really important.
Since it lost it’s fighting spirit, it seems to have regained reason.
It is known that animals and monsters can be treated with light magic.
Onoki also said this, and sometimes uses it on animals that got injured by goblins.
Healing demons with light magic is abusive and apostate, but I don’t know that.
I am neither a priest nor a healer.
As expected, you can heal a demon in front of people, but it should never be done in front of temple personnel.
The ogre is quiet while I treat it and it doesn’t try to rampage.
It is surprised to be able to talk to me, a human.
『I ’m sorry to have you heal my injuries. I was trying to kill you …』
“I’m sorry for breaking this important horn. Otherwise you would have killed me.”
『No, I should be grateful that my life was not taken.』
“By the way, why were you rampaging here? You were full of injuries when I met you, one horn was broken.”
『Oh, there was a terrible strong man yesterday. I managed to escape up to this point while being in tatters…』
A Kobold buts in and answers to the ogre.
『When you were running away in the forest, did you hear our voices this humans voice?』
『……Yes. I thought I was done for.』
Indeed, I’m fine, but what about the ogre?
What kind of monster is it to make an ogre flee?
I will not go over there.
No, I’m okay because I’m not a monster.
“Is that person gone?”
『Yes, I can’t say for sure, but there is no sign of chasing. I don’t think it’ll bother to hunt a dying monster like me.』
“I see.”
Until the ogre settles down, why don’t we hide in the cave where the orcs and goblins live? I ask them if they want to.
It is peaceful over there, and if they give my name they won’t have to fight, they accept my suggestion, even though they are sorry.
