============

" HELP!"

With a start - I stopped in my tracks.

The place where the scream came from was behind a small hill, so I couldn't see what had happened, but I could hear the familiar language of Orcs and Goblins.

I wasn't a nice person at heart. Back in my old world, I only cared about myself and my family. Anything other than that can simply fuck off.

However now? Now dragged from my World and sent here by myself - only my survival matters.

But... Orcs and Goblins are at the top of my shit-list.

So I walked towards the hilltop and looked down at what was below.

Greeting me was a carriage being assaulted by two green Orcs and ten or so green Goblins. All wearing misplaced leather armor and using rusted swords and daggers as weapons.

The large carriage had toppled over, with wooden crates and barrels that appeared to be cargo scattered across the ground.

It must've been transporting something. Hopefully, it wasn't slaves. Knowing my luck, It probably is.

Glancing at the toppled carriage, I saw the coachman trying his best to reign in a rampaging horse.

Apart from that, six armed men were fighting against the Goblins with uneasy expressions. One of them even looked like he was about to run away.

Fortunately, there weren't any corpses, so it seemed nobody had died as of yet.

From what I could analyze, the escorts were all injured in some manner, and their strength and stamina were all but seemingly depleted.

However, Overall - the humans were doing quite well, excluding that one guy who is now about to cry.

Now fully knowing the situation, I cracked my neck and...ran.

I ran and slashed so fast that the two Orcs commanding the Goblins didn't know how they died.

" Gege! Gugege!"

" Gue, Guge!"

" Gugege! Gugege!"

All the Goblins screamed and swarmed me, all with glowing red eyes.

" Tch. Know your place."

I jumped over them and slashed them, covering me with guts, organs, and dark red blood.

By the time I was done - I looked like I walked out of the blood river and then prayed to Khorne.

Walking to the stunned humans, I gave them a nod and was about to walk away.

The keyword here: About.

" SIR!"

I stopped...

And against my better judgment, I turned around.

" Sir! Thank you for saving us!"

Standing before me was a small girl with short white curly hair, exquisite blue eyes, and large white and black wings, wearing what seems to be a school uniform

Standing before me was a small girl with short white curly hair, exquisite blue eyes, and large white and black wings, wearing what seems to be a school uniform.

Honestly happy I'm good at controlling my facial expressions, I nodded," No thanks are in order."

" Oh yes there are!" The small winged girl pouted.

Following her, the six-armed humans all bowed, quite deeply and spoke with profound emotions. The one that looked like he was about to breakdown even started crying.

" Thank you, Sir. Thank you for saving us."

I waved them off," Keep your thanks when I actually do something worth thanking for. I was just being a respectable human being."

" Hmph! I like you!" The winged girl smiled," Tell me your name!"

I looked down and gave the shorty a blank look," Only if you gave me yours."

" Hana of the Whitefeather Family!" She said quite proudly holding her head high.

" Mm, nice to meet you, Hana," I said, ignoring the way her face flushed," I'm Arthur of the Pendragon Family."

Knowing my luck... Names have power. So a fake name will have to do. Plus, when my Class Cards wear off, she wouldn't be able to recognize me.

" Dragon?!" The armed men all turned pale. The weak one almost even fainted.

" It's just a name my ancestor got for helping a Red Dragon. I'm a hundred percent human." I lied through my teeth, easily, coming up with a story.

" So cool! Is the Red Dragon still alive?!" Hana had literal stars in her eyes, now floating in front of me.

Behind her, all the humans looked like they were about to faint in fear, stumbling in their steps.

" As far as I know..." I smiled seeing the human's hopeful expression," Yes. She's still alive." I smiled even bigger seeing the way their expressions turned blank with fear amd dread rolling off their bodies.

" A she?! So coooool!" Hana flapped around with clear happiness, the total opposite of the humans.

..

After coming down, Hana offered me a job. A job of protecting her carriage from the monsters and beasts lurking in the forest.

And of course, I accepted.

I accepted because we are close to her destination. It's only an hour away.

And fortunately, I still have an hour and twenty minutes left.

Hopefully(fingers crossed) Murphy doesn't feel like fucking with me...
