It seems that for me, a cat lover, the only way to safely approach the slums is to disguise myself as a tall species.
Cat people who are discriminated against by the public are rarely qualified to buy prostitutes, so they seem to think that cat people living in slums are equal to homeless people.
"For now, try to be as tall as Shure."
"In other words, you only care about your height?"
"?What do you mean?"
"If you grow taller, the width of your shoulders and the length of your arms will naturally change."
"Yeah, but it shouldn't be a problem to wear a big coat over it."
"But it would be better if you could adjust, wouldn't it?"
"You are very tall, but your arms are really short, or in other words, your arms are extremely thin."
"I'll try a little harder."
"If I was going to disguise myself anyway, I think I'd put it at a level where it could be used for other purposes than infiltrating the ghetto."
For a regular cat person to achieve the disguise I have in mind would require building stilts, prosthetic arms, and something like an American football protector to add width to the shoulders.
However, since I have access to natural magic, I decided to use magic to create these things.
In other words, this is an exoskeleton operation using heavenly magic.
In a past life, when I was an otaku high school student, I watched an anime about a girl fighting in an exoskeleton.
A robotic arm wears down from the shoulder and up the leg to the thigh to drive the knee.
For the time being, it seems that just moving the upper body will be fine, so the first challenge is to walk with the legs.
The size of the body was designed so that the rest of Kevin's clothing could be used.
"In that case, let's put on our shoes and walk."
The good thing about natural magic is that it can bring feelings to the things you create.
Sound-collecting microphones and detection bits capture vibrations and add a tactile feel.
Again, instead of making stilts this time, we're adding tactile sensations to what's called a prosthetic leg.
"With this, you'll be able to get a handle on how the shoe feels when you put it on and how your weight is applied."
But just because you have senses doesn't mean you can walk all over again.
It felt uncomfortable because the shoe felt the same as it did in my previous life, and because I decided which direction to move the prosthetic limb after feeling how my own weight was applied, it wasted time and felt awkward.
The handrails are made of natural magic, so you won't fall down, but it feels like walking rehabilitation.
"Hua Wuming is like a newborn deer"
"I know.
"Huhu, Hua Wuming is very cute even though his legs are very long."
"I'll get better looking, meow!"
"Huhu, Pulu Pulu Hua Wu Ming is so cute."
“There’s a reason I focus so much on practicing disguise.”
If you can get used to prosthetics of this size and move them as you wish, you might be able to move a larger, robot-sized body.
"Even now you can beat an orc if you use death chains, but wouldn't it be fun to have a hand-to-hand fight while wearing an exoskeleton?"
"With my small body, I overwhelmed the orcs with physical combat. Yes, I have no choice but to do this."
As a result, on the first day I just walked around holding on to the handrail.
While I was practicing on my prosthetic limb, Raios went to the guild and engaged in subjugation work.
"Starting tomorrow, we will conquer the orcs in Kabane."
We will set out early tomorrow morning as soon as the city gates open, and arrive in Kabane in about half a day. We will check the situation, patrol at night, and subdue the attackers. If they do not show up, we will search and conquer them from the next morning. .
"While I was out crusading, I had no choice but to shelve matters related to my brother."
I'm curious, but I don't think there's an urgent need to take action yet, so I'll focus on conquering them for now.
For me, the carriage bound for the subjugated country was where I practiced walking on my prosthetic legs.
The road is uneven, and just standing in a carriage that shakes without warning is difficult, and you can gain a lot of experience points.
I arrived at the client's ranch just before noon, informed him that I had accepted the request, and inquired about the situation.
"This time, there hasn't been any damage, but it seems they have confirmed the presence of the orcs."
Orcs were found northeast of the ranch site, and there is said to be only one.
After hearing the story, I immediately went to the place where I saw the orcs.
The edge of the pasture is directly connected to the forest, and it looks like the oak trees are in the grove.
As we neared the aiming point, Schuler's usually absent-minded expression sharpened.
Check the wind direction before approaching the forest.
Orcs have a keen sense of smell, so if you approach them from the windward direction, they will notice you.
"Hua Wuming, can you see it from above?"
"Yeah, leave it to me."
As Leos asks, use the steps to search for the orcs from above.
"Hua Wuming, if you can see your opponent, they can also see you, so be careful."
"Do you understand it"
Skuller gave me advice as he began to look for traces of the orcs.
Shuler walked in the front, followed by Gard, Leos, and Sergio.
Gad's shield was smaller than when he was fighting against the Bronze Wolf, and there was an axe-shaped dagger hanging on his waist.
If it is an orc opponent, a shield of this size is enough to withstand it, and there is still enough room to counterattack.
Schuler carefully explored the footprints left on the ground, the traces of broken bushes and tree trunks.
Orcs check tree trunks because they have a habit of rubbing against each other to compete for territory.
Schuler, who was inspecting the ground, pointed silently.
I stood about five meters above Gard's head and focused my gaze on the direction Shure was pointing.
Sure enough, we were walking through an overgrown forest, and Schuler couldn't possibly be quiet, but he made much less noise than the other members of the group.
I couldn't tell from my position, but Shure seemed to be able to tell whether the marks left behind were new or old.
At first glance, it looked like an ordinary forest, but it moved forward without even a sign of hesitation.
"There is only one."
I could see the orcs about 200 meters ahead of Shul, so I got out next to Gard and informed them of their numbers and direction.
"This time, leave it to me and Hua Wuming."
"Okay, but I'll let Sergio support it."
"Okay Hua Wuming, come with me from above. If you can set it up, do it first."
"Do you understand it"
Schur and I approached the oak tree separately, Sergio backing away.
"In case the orcs escape because we are spotted or fail to kill it, Sergio will shoot arrows to stop them."
"This time, I will see it first and inform Schuler of the direction."
He moved closer to the oak tree from trunk to trunk while hiding his body.
Occasionally, the orc will look around, his nose twitching as he walks.
The slightly darker carcass looked twice as big as the one I killed in Azka Village.
Schuler also told me with hand signals that he had visually identified the orcs.
"All that's left is to set the time."
"There's still about a hundred meters to the oak tree."
In the meeting just now, we decided to ask Schuler to close the distance immediately and pull him to a cutting distance before attacking.
I carefully closed the distance so as not to be spotted by the orcs, and waited for Shure's signal.
With fifty meters left, Schur waved.
"Death Collar Type RR"
At the same time that I activated my natural magic, Shur suddenly ran towards the orc.
"Boogie"
The orc was surprised to see Shull running up to him, turning his neck and being stabbed by the Deathsmother's spear.
Surprised by the pain, the orc reflexively moved his body in the opposite direction, and another spear plunged deep into his throat.
As Shure ran up to him, he released the death chains, blood spurting from Oak's neck, and took a stance to fight back.
Shure threw a dagger, sliding it under the orc's swinging log-like right arm.
The orc passed Skulle and kept walking, but the fire of life in its wide eyes quickly faded.
Just like that, the orc fell forward and began to twitch and twitch.
I rushed over and made a set of empty attribute blood-sucking suits, hoisted the oak tree with pulleys, and Gad used earth attribute magic to dig a hole in the ground.
Tie the end of the rope to the tree trunk, collect fallen leaves, and light a fire with a campfire.
"Hey, Hua Wuming, are you acting too good? Are you really a newcomer?"
"Haha, Hua Wuming is extremely talented, it's not surprising."
"Hey, why are you bragging about your silence? Even without you, Hua Wuming would have been killed by himself, right?"
"Of course, Hua Wuming is very, very talented."
"Oh, that's enough, okay, okay."
Reborn Chariot, Shure and I had a great first game, defeating the Black Orcs with lightning speed.
