Realizer of Death : The Reaper-Chapter 4 4

?What appeared not far from the Okuihara and Kawano families was a creature over two meters tall with a face resembling a pig and holding a spiked club.

"That is... Orcs!" The one who muttered in a trembling voice was Tenku. He dreams of becoming a realizer and reads many picture books about monsters and Realizers, so he recognizes the monster that appeared before him.

"Is it a monster from another world!?" Amami screamed in terror after hearing Tenku's words. Not long after that, many other creatures appeared from the direction of Mount Tsukuba, and Tenku recognized them.

"Those are goblins, and the big one is Ogre!" Tenku pointed at a small green creature with a sly face and a Monster more giant than an orc behind them. The monsters came out from the direction of the mountain and seemed to have surrounded the area where they lived.

"Let's hurry back to the house!" Naoki quickly entered the house while grabbing Hanako's hand. The Kawano family also followed them. If Jiro and his family returned to their residence, the monsters would probably notice their presence, which would be dangerous.

After entering the house, they quickly turned off all the lights. They had heard that the intelligence of orc and goblin-class monsters was deficient. They move based solely on their instincts.

Hanako and the others stayed in the house without making a sound. They were holding their breath from being too tense and hoping the monsters didn't find them.

"Are they gone?" Hanako whispered.

"I don't know. I'll check it out first." Naoki strolled towards the window. Then he opened the curtain slightly and peeked through the gap. He looked around the area and couldn't find any of the monsters. Just as Naoki was about to say that the situation was safe, he saw an orc suddenly appear in front of him and swing the spiked mace.

"What!?" Naoki quickly jumped up to dodge the attack.

Booooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!

The Orc's mace destroyed half the house of the Okuihara family. Luckily Naoki and the others quickly dodged. Otherwise, they will be buried in the ruins of the house.

"Cough! Cough! Where is that monster?" Jiro looked around but had difficulty finding the monster over two meters tall as smoke and dust covered the entire area.

"I don't know where the monster is. But for sure, he's still around here." Naoki said while covering Tenku's nose so as not to inhale the dust and smoke around them.

"So what should we do next? This area seems to have been surrounded by monsters from Mount Tsukuba." Hanako said with fear.

"We will sneak out of this area secretly and seek help." Naoki explained his plan to them. That was the only thing going through his head at the moment. They couldn't stay stuck in one place because the monsters would find them sooner or later.

"Shouldn't we wait here until reinforcements arrive? Maybe the Realizers will come soon." Jiro disagrees with Naoki's plan because it is risky.

"But how long are we going to wait? The problem is that those monsters are hunting us. If we keep hiding here, the monster will likely destroy everything, and we'll be buried alive in this place. After all, I don't know if the Realizer will come to this remote place in time." Naoki explained in more detail why he made that decision for them to understand.

Jiro and Amami were silent because Naoki's words made a lot of sense. They would probably die before the reinforcements came. Only the Realizer could fight against those monstrous creatures from another world. Moreover, the number of monsters was not small. At least they saw tens or even a hundred goblins descending from Mount Tsukuba.

"I understand. Then, let's get out of here immediately." Jiro nodded in agreement with Naoki's plan.

"Okay. Follow me. Step slowly and don't make a sound." Naoki led the way while looking at the situation around him.

After walking for quite a while, they finally managed to leave the house safely. But the pained screams of the people from the surrounding area disturbed them greatly and gave them goosebumps.

"There doesn't seem to be a single monster around here." Jiro watched his surroundings and ventured to walk first. But then a green-colored figure appeared in front of him, and not one but dozens. The monsters were goblins and smiled horribly like they were looking at prey that had fallen into their trap. Even though their intelligence is low, goblins have a cunning innate nature.

Kikikikikik...

"What!?" Jiro and the others were shocked.

"Run as fast as you can!" Naoki shouted and started running with Tenku in his arms. Hanako and the Kawano family quickly followed behind. But having only run a few meters, the Orc they had previously seen suddenly landed in front of them.

Boooommm!

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr!

The Okuihara family and the Kawano family intend to go the other way to escape. But Naoki and Hanako heard a voice behind them, and their bodies were suddenly pushed to the ground. The ones who did it were Jiro and Amami.

"Ugh!" Naoki and Hanako's bodies hit the rocks on the ground. But they quickly twisted their bodies so as not to hit Haruna and Tenku.

"Forgive us!" Jiro and Amami ran after pushing Naoki and Hanako. They did so to use the Okuihara family as bait so they could escape.

"Jiro! Amami! Why did you do that to us!?" Amami screamed from deep within her lungs. She felt very disappointed with their actions. The two families have known each other for a long time, and Hanako trusts Amami and Jiro. Hanako didn't expect that they would sacrifice her family to escape.

"Uncle Jiro! Why did you do that to mom and dad… hics… hics." Tenku cried after knowing his mother and father were pushed by the Kawano family's husband and wife. But neither Jiro nor Amami replied to them. The two ran without looking back, ignoring them and not caring about their situation.

On the other hand, Naoki could only grit his teeth. He knew there was no point in them shouting their disappointment because the most important thing right now was to escape from the orcs quickly. But the problem is that his back hurts so much that it's hard to move. Because of that, Naoki was forced to make a tough decision, and the same thing happened to Hanako.

"Tenku! Quickly take Haruna away from here. Your mom and dad will be following you soon." Naoki looked straight into Tenku's teary eyes.

"Yes. Take Haruna to a safer place and protect her. Mom and dad will catch up with you." Hanako understood what her husband meant and said with tears flowing from her eyes.

"I don't want to! I want to be with mom and dad! I will fight that monster!" Tenku shook his head while sobbing. Even though his words seemed bold, his body was shaking with fear. f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂

"I also don't want to be separated from mom and dad!" Haruna said with a face full of tears.

"Go away from here! Don't you want to listen to what mom and dad say!?" Naoki raised his voice angrily to his two children. He felt guilty in his heart because this was the first time he had done such a thing. But Naoki quickly dispelled that thought because it was the best for them. Tenku and Haruna jolted and subconsciously stepped back in fear.

"Quickly get out of here and take Haruna to a safer place! You have to take good care of her!" Hanako screamed, and Tenku finally pulled Haruna's hand away from the place while crying loudly. 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

"I shouldn't have said that to them." Hanako's tears spilled after seeing her two children leave.

"You're not wrong because it's for their good." Naoki patted his wife's shoulder and stood up while picking up a stone on the ground.

"What we have to do now is attract the attention of those monsters so they can escape." Naoki swung his arms and threw the big rock in his hand at the orcs not far from him. But that didn't affect the monster over two meters tall.

"Hey! Ugly monsters! What are you looking for in this place!? Did you get lost because of your stupidity!?" Hanako did the same as her husband had done. But she added a mockery to get the monster's attention to her, and it worked.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr!

The Orc casually swung the spiked mace in his hand at Hanako, but Naoki quickly pushed her away and made her receive the attack.

"Ugh!" Naoki was blown away a dozen meters while vomiting blood from his mouth.

"Dear!" Hanako ran towards her husband, but the Orc suddenly appeared before her and swung its spiked mace again.

"Arrgh!" Hanako bounced and twisted until her body was deformed. Her condition is far more pathetic than Naoki's. When her body fell to the ground, a boy's scream echoed through the place.

"Mom! Dad!"
