When I got back to see things, Klaus and his men were just about to have a bow.

I rudely watched the goblins beside them, and they are in a group and storming repeatedly toward my land in the stick-out part where I was until earlier.

They were bounced back to the invisible wall and rolled to the other side only for the amount of momentum they ran.

But when Hobgoblin raises his right hand, he pushes again toward the invisible wall.

They get bounced again.

You're a pain in the ass.

Next door is Maluburg's face wrinkling between his eyebrows.

"Right. But my magic is perfect."

"Yeah, if it's your magic, Fei Long won't freak out even if he's the Lord of the Meadows."

When he smiles trying to reassure him, he cries out, too.

"Brother, it's time to shoot an arrow?

Klaus asks me lightly.

"If you will follow Maluburg's instructions,"

"Master Maluburg said to your brother!

"Oh well."

I'm not used to being asked to make decisions. I get weak. Take the lives of the goblins who manipulate words around the corner with one of my fingertips.

I know that from the head. Thinking about the principality, we should attack them with bows until they leave.

But... I shake my head.

"What's up? Brother?"

"It's important to him. Wait a little longer."

Maluburg pinches his mouth toward Klaus.

Then he rubbed his mustache backwards one step to correct his standing.

"Fujichima"

"Fuji."

Waggan and Titania voices worrying from behind.

I know, I know.

They are the beasts. It's just my ego, but they have to get rid of it.

More than anything about the Principality itself, I've thought about it before, but if you're surrounded outside the boundaries by a large army, your movements will be restricted.

For the sake of our city, the extermination of the vermin must be carried out.

And I'd like you not to come here anymore, if you can.

"Klaus. Can you aim for that big one?

"Nice. I just wanted to do him, too."

Klaus sticks his thumb out in a zoom just to let me handle it.

Let me see how strong evolutionary goblins are as individuals.

Klaus and three of his men are all set for Hobgoblin.

As soon as they let go of their hands, an arrow pierced Hobgoblin's head and neck, wondering if there had been a whirling sound of the arrow cutting the wind!

Hobgoblin fell and slept on the spot lightly and stopped moving after freaking out and trembling at his fingertips.

"Next, the guy with the cane."

"Leave it to me!"

It fires a second shot at the stiffening goblins.

Two arrows pierced the heads of goblins with their respective canes.

"Wow. All bullets are hit."

"Not at this distance. We'll keep firing till they mess up the dispersion."

"Yeah, please"

As soon as the goblins lose their leaders, things change to the feeling that individuals like the last time they met move in pieces.

But instead of the attitude of eating people, they all seem to be uniformly fearful and start running away with one another.

If this happens, it will be too late or too soon.

Though some goblins fall on arrows, everyone left behind with us escapes.

◆ ◆ ◆

After they leave, Rhutier will meet us at the rally point.

"... that's why"

I told everyone the details of my conversation with Hobgoblin, and they all look uniformly sinister.

"Evolution?"

Rütier makes a roaring voice.

"You're just naming me 'Evolution' on your own. I'm more concerned about those behind the evolutionary individual leadership and evolution than how they evolved."

"It's similar to the phenomenon of the pigeon getting huge... or your view"

Maluburg pinned his index finger and included tea in his mouth.

He closes his eyes intact, gobbling and throat.

What the hell is being discussed in his overcut head?

Everyone is watching over this boy's words in solitary spit.

Regardless of age or race, I guess it's because everyone thinks Maluburg is the smartest of these.

"Let's assume whoever's behind it has a human-like intelligence. Then there are two possibilities."

"Is one the devils?

One of the two forces that erodes the Principality is the Demon Nation. Goblins on the other.

They put their hands together... No, the Emperor and the Hobgoblins were calling... If the Demons are trying to take in the Goblins and destroy the Principality, will they stick together?

"Yeah. It's a demon tribe that never had anything to do with other forces, but if they recognized goblins as one of their own family... I wonder if it's possible"

"You can't imagine the other. It wouldn't be Gbaa."

"I am the only one who has the dignity. He's a lonely, absolutely powerful man. I'm not going around."

"I don't know."

"That's what it is."

You mean for that bird who looks down from a far height, goblin or human, but the same?

To borrow his words, you mean, "Keep your eyes peeled for something".

Then who is it?

No way, dragon?

The dragon men said they had entered the beast man's residence.

No, but they're not supposed to come out on the meadow. That's what Wagan said. "Dragon men never set foot in the meadows," he said.

I know why you don't step in. Because we have Gbaa.

If you get attacked like that, about a thousand people, two thousand people, all shattered in five minutes.

The destructive power of a Gbaa water bomb joke makes my head look bitter.

"Another possibility is the Principality."

"Huh? If we do that, we won't perish?

"Power, money... it's a shallow thing to be human. Such a person can only see a vision of success. I don't even think about destroying myself."

"Um, he's... he's hopeless."

"It's only one possibility. In my view, the Demons are seven, the Duchy II, and other coincidences."

"If it's accidental, the threat drops as much as you want..."

Hmm.

Anyway, I was wondering if I should ask Maruburg about the Principality.

That's when Titania's voice reaches her ear to block her thoughts.

"Hey, hey. Fuji. If it's a coincidence, why aren't you scared anymore?

"Oh, that. If you just happen to be a hobgoblin, you're done with that individual. Hobgoblins are not born in the future, and only the original goblins will remain."

"Thanks -"

Titania snorts, yeah, as convinced.

This is the first time I've seen someone smile since I came to the rally point.

"It's okay. No matter how much Goblin evolves for us, it's just like a beast. It's no big deal."

Eyes on everyone in a nagging and light condition.

Yeah, you did. Titania. Smile as energetically as you did when you were slaughtered.

"Yeah! It's Fuji magic!

"Nobody's worried about that!

Titania and Rhutier squeezed their hands together, feeling confident and so on.

They both make fists small in front of their chests, so they smile.

Titania is sort of a girl, so these tricks are usually cute, but it's only here that I want to pay attention to Rhutier.

If that harsh, gothic tiger-headed Rhutier makes a small, communal move, his cheeks will burn. That's good. A lovely trick for a large animal.

"I understand your concern."

"Huh?"

Dokiri and heart roar.

You don't have to ask. Is that what Maluburg saw?
