I Became a Wendigo in a Fantasy World

83 – Episode 83

The Wendigo, who was waiting for her meal in her dinner room, read the telegram sent by Anton and sighed….

‘Now that I’m used to it, I don’t even sigh. It’s always new and feels dirty.’

She thought she would rather just sigh freely and have fewer incidents like this.

How is it that the world never passes a year quietly?

“It seems my thoughts were short-lived. “If we had responded strongly from the beginning, this wouldn’t have happened.”

Skadi apologized to the Wendigo with her sullen expression. She thought that she had put the Wendigo in trouble by asking for no reason to trust people’s reason.

The Wendigo shook her head resolutely, rejecting Skadi’s apology.

“This is not your fault. “The ones who did wrong were the scum who abused the rumors.”

Although things done with good intentions may not always be right, Skadi’s response was common sense and a good solution.

In fact, the merchants who traded with the forest soon realized that Skadi was not the witch she was.

She did not harass or exploit people, and above all, her heart, which was as pretty as her face, was so great that it cured the merchants of their suspicions.

While the Wendigo was trying hard to comfort Skadi, the attendant waiting outside knocked on the door of her dinner room.

“Spirit. The dinner is ready. “Can I come in now?”

“You can’t skip meals because of something like this. Skadi, what do you think about while eating together?”

The Wendigo was delighted by the appearance of a relief pitcher who relieved the gloomy atmosphere and asked Skadi.

Skadi nodded her head calmly. The comfort of her wendigo had helped her quite a bit.

How can a mere human control all the problems in a world where even the gods cannot solve their problems and cause chaos?

“Come in. And bring Geron.”

“Excuse me?”

As soon as the Wendigo gave permission, the door opened and sturdy servants handed out food on their respective trays.

Steaks with meat marinated in alcohol and sauce and vegetables grilled with meat oil fill the front.

All around, there were whole, grilled and seasoned birds that were good to eat, like turkey and quail.

In the center, a large pot filled with soup gave off a fragrant smell, stimulating the appetite.

“Now, I have to eat, so come down for a moment.”

“Yes? But I….”

“Uh huh, did you think I didn’t know? “It seems like I’ve become quite adept at controlling mysteries recently.”

I flinch.

Skadi pretended to remain calm, but her conscience did not allow it.

She studied her for a moment, then blushed and climbed off her wendigo’s shoulder.

The area where her toes touched was frozen by the cold flowing from her body, but it did not spread to the surrounding area like it did at first.

Although this is the first time that mystery has imbued her body, Skadi’s magical talent has always shined through.

In the first place, shamans are people who deal with mystery. Just because the location changed from outside to inside didn’t mean I lost my senses.

Skadi fiddled with her utensils and made up an excuse without even asking.

“Well, that’s it. It’s not because I want to cause trouble on Wendigo-sama’s shoulders, but in case of an accident….”

“Why are you making such an excuse? “Skadi can lend me my shoulder whenever he wants.”

Said the Wendigo, opening her mouth wide and chewing her whole roast quail. There was no joke in his words.

Isn’t it a common relationship between Skadi and yourself, and a relationship that helped each other greatly?

Even though she persecuted and tormented others enough, she gained enough power and status and still acted upright, so there was no one for the Wendigo to replace Skadi.

Skadi, who could sense her wendigo’s sincerity, turned her already red face even redder and cooled her fever with a cold drink.

‘Well, you seem a little embarrassed, but I think you feel a lot relieved.’

When Skadi’s mood seemed to have eased, the Wendigo began to worry in earnest.

Through Anton’s letter, she realized that there were people exploiting Skadi’s rumors, but at best, she could not get much information from it.

The Forest Witch may be an imaginary being created by self-proclaimed followers, or there may be a witch who calls herself the Forest Witch.

It was not even known how far this rumor had spread and how many people it had spread to.

‘The rumor that Skadi is a witch can be erased. All she has to do is pay the merchants a reasonable wage and ask them to spread good rumors.’

If she was a merchant who wanted to maintain a good relationship with the forest, this was something she would do even without compensation.

Of course, if you are paid, you will act as if it were your job.

The problem was that there were big-headed guys who tried to get beans from Skadi….

Knock.

“Geron, come in.”

“Excuse me?”

The Wendigo summoned him without even confirming the presence of Geron in her familiar way.

Geron opened the door and went inside with a calm expression, as if he was used to it.

Geron, who entered the dinner room, looked at Skadi with a puzzled expression.

Apparently, she’s still having trouble controlling her mystery, so she has to stick with Wendigo….

‘Oh my gosh, you were faking it.’

Skadi tried to remain as calm as possible, but he couldn’t avoid Geron’s keen attention.

Geron quickly noticed the agitation in Skadi’s shaking eyes. It was a small disturbance that Geron could notice because he cared for her like his own daughter.

Geron smiled kindly and acted slyly to keep Skadi out of trouble.

“It seems you have finally succeeded in controlling the mystery flowing through your body. “I’m really glad.”

“Hmm, thank you. Mr. Geron.”

“Take a seat. “Let’s talk while we eat.”

As Geron sat down, the Wendigo talked about the contents of the letter Anton had sent, the cause of what happened, and what she thought.

Of course, Geron’s expression as he listened to the story was distorted with anger.

Are you saying that you are holding on to Skadi, who is the treasure of the forest, because no one dares touch you?

“First, let’s look for the person called the Witch of the Forest. “I’m sure I know at least one of the people who came from outside.”

“That’s a good idea. Also, there is a problem with the robbers who came after being lured by rumors….”

There have always been those who seek to enjoy favors by clinging to the powerful.

The problem is that most of those guys are willing to throw sh*t around if it’s for their own benefit.

No matter how much the forest is the Wendigo’s territory and dozens of her eyes and ears are always on the lookout, it would still be troublesome to barge in on her like a rat.

We need a quick and simple way to kill these guys..

“Ah, I thought of a good way.”

“What if you say it’s a good way?”

As Skadi looked up curiously, the Wendigo smiled at her and spoke to her.

“Skadi, I think you should become a forest witch for a while.”

“… Yes?”

* * * *

In the world, the existing order was collapsing and new common sense was flooding in like a wave.

Naturally, this sudden trend threw the world into chaos.

The bar son who harassed me yesterday became a businessman lifting rocks the size of a house and came to take revenge.

A beggar who commands his animals with just a flute ruins a village he has resented.

A man who was mocked as a monster because he had six fingers actually becomes a monster and becomes the leader of a band of thieves.

Among beings who were literally monsters and madmen, witches were no better than noblemen….

“I know this well because I have dealt with witches, but they are not as great as you think.”

“Is that true?”

“That’s right. Do you know that she is a famous blood witch in the western part of your empire? “I am Robert the Redhead, who led the followers under that witch.”

Robert, a follower of the Blood Witch, leader of the Red-Headed Brotherhood, and former thief, was a piece of trash who adapted to the world faster than others.

Robert told his story to the aspiring followers surrounding him.

“If you look at a witch in the end, she is all like this. “With her handsome face, appropriate eloquence, and big, sturdy figure, you will be captivated in an instant.”

Robert held his load with a sinister smile, belying his handsome face to match his red hair.

Although his words and actions were extremely vulgar, they were actually well-liked by those who gathered to get a bite of soybean paste.

In the first place, they gathered together to beg the witch and covet the beans.

Of course, they had no noble beliefs or goals. Robert’s vulgar way of speaking was very familiar to those who were living at the bottom of their lives.

“hehehe, I’m sure a handsome bastard like you would bewitch a witch in an instant.”

“We will only trust and follow you, brother!”

The dogs were also a good guy among the ugly guys.

As expected of those who cling to power, they bowed their heads to Robert and pledged their loyalty.

Of course, Robert did not trust these guys’ loyalty.

How peers recognize each other.

Robert knew very well that these were people who would abandon him and run away if he made a mistake.

‘They are the ones who will betray you if you don’t win the witch’s favor anyway.’

But Robert didn’t pay much attention.

The reason he was able to become the leader of the Red-Haired Brotherhood was because he monopolized the witch’s love with his handsome face.

Unless she is a witch who doesn’t like men, she will have no choice but to fall for her flashy verbal skills and her night skills!

‘hehehe, I hope she’s a pretty girl….’

“Chief! “Is that a village over there?”

“You bastard, I have no eyes!”

While Robert was imagining things, when his subordinate called him, he lost his temper and slapped his subordinate.

Robert stopped punching only after turning his subordinate into a blood clot.

He let out a rough breath and glared at his surroundings. His men did not dare to meet Robert’s eyes.

‘If this is the case, I have quite a bit of discipline.’

Robert wasn’t so stupid that he forgot what he said. If he had been such an idiot, he would not have survived as the lover of a notorious witch.

Robert, who had disciplined himself with one useless subordinate, took over his armor and helmet and rode his horse to the front.

“O lowly things that live by receiving the blessings of the forest! I am Robert, leader of the Red Tree Brotherhood that serves the Forest Witch and her follower! “If you are afraid of the wrath of the forest, come out quickly and show respect!”

Robert shouted in a loud voice.

His subordinates could not help but admire the captain’s shamelessness.

The heartlessness of throwing away the name of my brotherhood like trash, the tongue naturally spouting bullsh*t, and even the face that makes such bullsh*t more persuasive!

‘You bastard.’

‘Still, how lucky are we that we’re bastards?’

While I was whispering about how great my boss was (?), A small commotion broke out in the village.

Robert was prepared to run away at any time. He was planning to turn his horse’s head and retreat immediately if an arrow flew at him.

After a while, a man came out from the village.

His sturdy physique and beaky eyes were clearly that of a warrior.

The warrior shouted to them in a loud voice that could not even be compared to Robert’s.

“The Forest Witch told me to bring her followers into the forest! If you wait there, I will provide you with a sufficient meal and bring you a guide to guide you to the witch!”

“Uh… Leader? Are there any cases like this?”

“…… “

A subordinate asked in confusion, but Robert could not answer. This was my first time experiencing something like this.

Most of the time, arrows fly with swear words or people fall down in fear….

‘f*ck, I didn’t expect this situation.’

But I couldn’t back down.

It would have been better if he had been alone with the warrior, but the other guys had already heard the offer, which was no different from surrender.

In this situation, there was no way these scoundrels would listen even if I told them to leave because it was suspicious.

The opportunity to eat until you’re full without any trouble has come before your eyes, but will these idiots back down?

“… Good night! But we will have to prepare enough for our brotherhood to eat well! If you fall short, our brotherhood will slaughter you like hungry wolves!”

“Don’t worry. “Thanks to the grace of the forest, there is no need to worry about food.”

The warrior looked at Robert with contemptuous eyes and said. Fortunately, the distance was far enough that Robert did not notice the warrior’s gaze.

After a while, the packaged food from the village was loaded onto a cart and delivered to Robert’s Brotherhood.

As bread and fruit appeared before their eyes, the Brotherhood rushed towards them as if they had starved for a week.

Robert frowned and kicked the guy in front of him in the stomach.

Robert approached the guy who flew away with a loud noise and repeatedly kicked him in the stomach.

“You idiots! “What are you going to do if the food is poisonous?”

“I’m sorry.”

“If you have time to say useless things like that, bring me a bastard!”

In response to Robert’s shouting, his men hurriedly brought in a dog.

The dog, who was as hungry as his men, smelled the food and started drooling and yelping.

Robert took a sausage out of the cart and threw it to the dog. It’s a shame, but there was a high possibility that the most delicious food was poisoned.

The dog ate the sausage in an instant. The dog, having tasted meat for the first time in a long time, rolled its eyes and showed its teeth.

“It’s okay.”

Suddenly!

Robert cut off the dog’s head, which showed its teeth to its owner, and then shook its head.

As soon as permission was given, the subordinates began to greedily eat food without anyone telling them who should go first.

The villagers spat and returned to the village. There was no trace of regret in that sight.

Robert thought as he touched a bright red apple.

‘Even in the North, which is famous for its poverty, the countrymen, who are famous for being the most uncivilized and scantily clad, have so much to eat?’

Robert became an unplanned chase after the Blood Witch murdered an imperial noble.

Robert chose to cry and eat mustard while heading to the north….

Robert fell into the delusion that this might be the turning point in his life.

If all of this is really the power of the b*tch called the Witch of the Forest.

And if the witch wants to gather followers and become a new ruler.

How great would be the wealth and fame that could be gained by living as a pillar next to such a witch?

As soon as his thoughts reached that point, Robert blew away the doubts that had been in the back of his mind.

As always, killing scammers and opportunists was a greed I couldn’t handle.
