I (♀️) Somehow Got Reincarnated as an Eroge Protagonist [ENGLISH VERSION]

A Mansion in the Woods

"hmm..." Akira stared at the trees in front of her "Since we don't know where the witch lives, the reasonable thing to do first is to split into two groups for this quest" Akira strategized.

"The first group will come with me to find the witch's residence, while the second group will wait here in case something unexpected happens".

"That makes sense" Alexia commented.

"Then Alexia, Elise, Ashley, come with me. While Colette, Lucy and Iris are on standby here" Akira divided the groups.

"We're leaving" Elise started to put the shield on her left hand "Be careful on the way~" Iris said like a mother letting her child walk to school.

"Where is the witch's residence, I wonder?" Ashley wondered as she walked through the tall bushes.

"The important thing is to look around and stay alert" Akira ordered while carrying a sword from her pouch.

STOMP
STOMP

Suddenly, a 2 meter, green skinned confronted the four women in front of them.

"ah..." The brown recognized the creature. it was a creature that despised by Iris and her sister.

"Orc!" Alexia shouted the creature's name "Why are orc in here!?" In an instant, Elise stand in front of Akira while preparing her shield.

"..." The orc raised its right hand and started punching Akira.

CLANK

The sound of a metal being hit was heard. "ngh!" It was Elise. The blonde demi human alertly blocked the orc's fist to prevent it hitting Akira's face.

SQUELCH

Alexia unceremoniously stabbed the orc's left chest with her spear, impaling its heart "ah! What a waste of time!" Ashley began to cut off the orc's right hand that still punching Elise' shield with her sword and burned its body with fire magic.

CRACKLE

In an instant the orc's body became ashes "Why are there orcs here? Does that mean there's an orc nest around here too?" Alexia couldn't stop thinking.

"If that's true then the village is in danger! We should go back and alert them" Elise commented "No, it seem there are no orc nest around here" Akira calmed Elise down.

"Eh? Why is that?" Ashley was confused by the brown haired girl's comment "There's something strange about that orc".

"Something strange? It's just an ordinary filthy and savage orc, isn't it?" Ashley looked at the ashes of the burnt orc.

"Orcs are noisy but intelligent creatures, so they're supposed to carry weapons and make noise, but the orc just now didn't make any noise and attacked me with its bare hands" Akira explained the oddity of the orc that had just attacked her.

"And also once an orc encounters a female it would try to rape her you all know it from adventurer tales and our own experience when we rescued Iris' sister, right? But this one tried to kill me just now".

"Plus, any creature would scream in pain if it was burned alive. But the orc just now didn't scream at all".

"hm, you got a point" Elise commented "So what was that orc just now?" Ashley wondered.

"I dunno, a loner? or got separated from its group?" Alexia guessed.

"The important thing is that we continue our search but remain alert" Akira ordered while walking back through the forest.

"..." A crow perched on a tree branch observed the four women.

"Female adventurers, huh?" A blonde woman sat on the back of a naked black-haired girl on all fours.
