The Im Not Main Character
Hunting Wild Dogs

Arcturus was welcomed by Mary, Leona and Claus when he managed to get off safely.

They were certainly surprised when Arcturus managed to reach the top without being injured or looking exhausted. It was amazing to succeed in the first attempt.

“You are strong so you can go up there. Not even all Ogres can reach the middle.”

The Adam tree in this village was indeed quite tall, but what made it difficult was the pressure of the surrounding wind.

This was a special location where the wind was extremely chaotic. Maybe it's because something is deliberately doing it to prevent people from getting to the top easily.

“Well, I can't say it for now. More importantly, I'm hungry.”

“I will prepare it soon, Young Master.”

Mary was happy that her young master was fine. But at the same time he felt amazed and awkward. Not just him, but Leona and Claus have the same feelings.

‘Young Master has an amazing presence. It's like when I'm dealing with a king, no. Maybe this pressure is greater.’

Mary once served the royal family and felt a majestic aura like this. But what Arcturus emits is very different. Other than being larger, his aura seemed arrogant and condescending.

“Ah, don't worry about that. You guys are guests, let us entertain.”

Leona stops Mary from preparing food before ruling on Claus to make his preparations.

Arcturus went to take a bath before eating. Ogres seem to be no different from humans, they eat anything that can be eaten.

As soon as he finished munching on the roast, Arcturus jumped into business.

“This may be a little sudden but Leona. I want to build a house in this village. At the top of the Adam Tree. Can it be done?”

Leona furrowed her brows, “We may still have a debt of gratitude. But what is the reason you want to do it?”

“Of course it's still a secret that can't be shared.”

“Then I won't allow it. We don't allow outsiders other than Ogre to stay here. Sorry, please make another request.”

It was the custom of the village of Ogre. They might be quite friendly with other races, but that hospitality was not to the point where allowing them to stay in this place.

Arcturus is not an exception. Even if they were a unique race that returned kindness, there were some things that they would not violate.

“Not me who will stay here. I don't have time to do it.”

Not until everything is done. The great chaos was still right in sight. Therefore Arcturus wanted to build a strong ally.

“Didn't I tell you that other than Ogre no one should stay here? Even if it's not you, it's useless to open Ogre.” Leona remained strong with her stance.

Claus who was eating his drink calmly nodded his head.

But this is not the end, Arcturus has not played his cards. He just wanted to see how stubborn this woman was towards her rules and customs.

Arcturus sighed tiredly even though his lips formed a sly smile.

“Do you not want to resurrect the kingdom, Princess?”

“...”

“...”

Both Claus and Leona speak a thousand languages. The kingdom, no one had ever imagined that the Ogre had such a hierarchical system.

There was a reason why the loner Third Eye Ogre always carried a sword and looked like a knight. And, there's a reason why Leona's existence is so valuable.

Arcturus and Leona are quite far apart, both of them criss-crossed at long tables. Leona hid her face by lowering her head.

“Claus.”

The clang!

Soon Claus jumped to the table and grabbed his dagger, he headed towards Arcturus quickly. But Mary also did not lose quickly. The two of them clashed with guns at the dinner table.

“Of course impossible.” Mary looked at Claus sharply.

Arcturus remained calm and looked at Leona, not missing the slightest change.

“I remember you also called me princess when you first met. I thought it was a coincidence, but if you discuss the kingdom then another story.”

Leona looked at Arcturus full of anger, hatred and as if ready to stab him.

“How did you know?”

The Third Eye Ogre Kingdom, not many knew of it including the Ogre itself. There were only certain people of their race who had information about him.

“It depends on you accepting my offer or not. Whether you want to revive the kingdom or not. When you don't have that desire then there's no point in the information I have.”

Arcturus wouldn't share that easily if there wasn't a definite advantage. He needs to be sure that Leona has the strong determination to resurrect the kingdom.

Either way this woman and her younger brother were the last lineages of the Ogre kingdom. These two brothers were the nobles of Third Eye Ogre. For that reason everyone has great respect for Leona.

“What do you want from us? It's no use for you to do it.”

“Of course there are. If you resurrect the kingdom, then in the future I can borrow your hand.”

For the war to come, Arcturus needed the kingdom of Ogre to rise quickly to prevent it. The appetite of the empire should be greater than he expected.

The fact that Blodwyn was even very careful about infiltrating the Tengu Empire out of fear of being labeled a coalition.

No kingdom would be willing to get involved with the matter of the two great empires on the continent.

“Claus, back.”

Claus immediately lowered his dagger and stood beside Leona. It was also the same thing for Mary, she was standing right next to Arcturus.

“I don't understand. You just want help with raising up the kingdom? That's really not worth it.” For some reason Claus began to join the conversation.

Leona did not stop him and added, “It is difficult to imagine a noble who should be greedy being generous.”

Nobles are a group of people who are full of greed and do things for their own benefit.

It is common knowledge to always be careful if making a deal with any aristocrat. Even Arcturus is not an exception.

“Of course I have another purpose. As with my source of information, my purpose cannot be disclosed.”

Now is not the time. That is all Arcturus can say.

“What can you do if I want to return to the kingdom?” leona asked, still staring intently.

Seeing that Arcturus began to smile and was convinced that this woman had great ambitions. Therefore, there is no doubt about dropping the last bomb.

“There are many ways. But the first is let's heal your sister.”

Leona's eyes shook as she talked about her sister. He then closed his eyes quickly and quietly waited for Arcturus' explanation.

No matter how well he played poker face, in front of Arcturus it was very funny. Really, it's so funny when people learn to lie in front of an accomplished liar.

“I know your sister has a certain curse. Therefore—”

To carry the main protagonist, Arcturus needs the power of Ogre.

This main protagonist is not human. Nor is it a person with an easy personality like Alda.

“— we will catch the Demon Dog God.”

One of the Three Balancers. Power that moves without being controlled by the state, kingdom or empire.

“Let's hunt wild dogs.”
