After leaving Namira village, Adras and the others headed north in cloudy weather. That is the direction that Queens Night Goblin has come. That's all the reason, but there was no further reason.

Along the way, Adras and the others managed to reach the woods while being hit by a snowstorm. Expanding "Sign Sensing" seems to have had a number of goblin reactions. At this point, Adras and the others hadn't noticed, but the path seems to have shifted slightly east. It must be the blizzard. The weather saved us as we walked.

We'll get rid of some goblin herds as we go through the woods. That's how I found the giant tree. I'm not familiar with the type, but let Daniela say, "Probably a Niseyugdra tree." It seems to be the kind derived from a tree grown by an ancient elf, a tree called 'Yugdrasil', which dominated this world substantially a long time ago. The real thing no longer exists.

But you think the brave men of the past have found branches from somewhere? They planted it by inserting a tree.

Anyway, they say there's a nest of goblins under that tree. Adras would have said that we would have hung it for years and scraped it with rainwater or something, and that would have penetrated the earth to create an underground space. Still, I hear the tree isn't dead. That's a Yugdrasil insert.

"I've dived a few guys who are good at scouts, but that seems to be a lot of goblins already"

"Queen will have a lot of kids in a week... this is troublesome"

I wonder how long the hell you spent under Niseyugdra. 52 weeks, assuming it's a year.

"How many children does Queen have at once?

"Around thirty of them are published in the Alliance."

"Are you serious..."

Then simply think, 1560 in a year? I'm not kidding. If there are individuals who have evolved from it... I don't even want to think about it.

"How about this? Let's pour oil from the woods and light a fire."

"Niseyugdra is a precious tree. You can't burn it."

Adras shakes his head to the side.

"It's an underground space with tons of goblins. There is not necessarily one exit. If they get away with it, that's what's gonna increase the damage."

"Didn't we cut the front and stick it in, but the results were with us?

Whether you run from the intruder or the fire, the results are with you. I escape through multiple exits and get scattered.

"That's right. That's why I'm in trouble. I just wanted someone with an overwhelming annihilation other than fire."

Adras looks at me like that, but now Daniela shakes her head to the side.

"A rabbit would be possible if it did well. But not now. Injuries and their burdens are worse than I thought. I can't allow you to be a party member."

"But I can't even say that. You'll see. Tons of demons in underground space. And the stampede has already begun."

Adras has investigated our actions in the past. So I know. The pit trail prevented us from stamping. Now is a situation similar to then, but more dangerous than then.

"... ok. Let's do it."

"Hey, Rabbit, wait."

"But Daniela, it doesn't make sense if you don't do it now. Tough, but dangerous if you don't. You know what I mean?

……

I knew right away that his face was remembering something deep in the pit.

"We protected Spirit. There's no reason not to protect the Empire."

"I know why. I can also be convinced. But my feelings do not accept it. The rabbit is worn out now. Yet I can't admit to whipping my body like that. I don't want to admit it. You're the one who matters."

Daniela grabbed my arm and wouldn't let go. It was as if I would go some distance if I let go... such desperation seemed to pass through my arms.

"Sure, I'm worn out in my body right now. I am in a state where I cannot fight enough at the price of overusing the skills I have been given. But we can fight a little. Even if it's not enough, we're all here. I'm comfortable because Adras is here, and I can work hard because the manager is here. And Daniela's here, so we can fight with confidence."

……

"Besides, I hate that I can't do anything to get here. If there's anything I can do, I want to do it."

That's what I've been doing. That's how I've lived this world. It's still a little while, but I've lived a darker way than I've ever lived in my life.

I learned in it that even people like me can protect someone. The day I first slaughtered people, I could save a little girl. It was a hard experience, but I was more than happy to save you.

"... right... ok. The rabbit has done so at all times when I think about it. I knew better than anyone that I could not ignore the lives I could save..."

I gently let go of my arm. Daniela laughed like she'd given up looking at me.

"That's the kind of gender...... apparently. I've never lived and felt that way before, but apparently this is who I am."

"Right. That's the rabbit. It's my happiness to live like a rabbit."

I couldn't stand the feeling of creeping up. I was hugging Daniela when I realized. [M]

"Thank you... Daniela makes me fight."

"Asagi......"

"Daniela......"

Daniela in my arm gently turns her arm around my back. Lips and lips that hold me tighter and closer than I do. Slowly the jade eyes bordered by platinum lashes closed and the light peachy bright lips on my lips......

"All right, then we'll start an ops meeting."

It was me and Daniela away like Adoras' voice played me.

□ □ □ □

Give me about two minutes to repart and gradually take a seat. Even so, it's outdoors and while standing. There are seven knights around a round table made of snow. Adras, the manager, Daniela, me, and the scout party. That's a party that's been bought by Adras for a long time.

"All right, report back to the assassins."

"Okay."

Short-haired leader, Anis (Adoras gave me her name), turns this way with a crisp look. I get caught and this one gets a crisp look.

"There was a great deal at the root of the Niseyugdra tree. I looked it up in Sign Sensing and there were signs of demons underneath these days. There were a lot of demons coming and going, and there were claw marks and all sorts of dirt, so it's certain to be the Goblin's nest first."

Hmm, Daniela nods.

"Did you see Goblin?

"Yes, we did a confirmation with observation from the outside, and a confirmation inside"

"What was the situation inside?

"That's..."

Anis that lowers her eyebrows and makes a shunny look.

"We are not in possession of the Night's Eye skill, so we were unable to confirm the situation in detail. However, there was a massive goblin response in Sign Sensing. Definitely."

"I see... so that's why I'm here first."

I look at the neck tilting anise in The Night's Eye and it makes me look hazy. You're expressive, this kid.

"Fortunately, there are some gear that specializes in" Signs Blocked, "so it's possible to check the situation."

"You can do anything..."

Now he looks at me with a depressed face, but he shakes his neck to the side.

"He's cleverly poor. I am no match for a professional human being. Can you tell me what the scouts are later?

I don't know what I can do.

If I correct my posture, I will thank you 90 degrees, so I rush to bow my head as well. I'm the one who teaches, but she's funny.

"What are you doing, not at all..."

I see it with Adras' cold eyes. I blushed a little with Annis.

"But eighty-nine out of ten, it would be terrible inside. Assuming that's the case, let's think about the operation."

Everyone nods and the discussion begins.

That went on for a while. Forget the time, the meeting while eating the dinner served. This time without me being danced too, oh and not like this. It bothers my head, sometimes I take a break, but it's all about maneuvers in my head...

If you notice, the jade on watch duty at night says, 'No, go to sleep!' and the end of being pissed off. We rushed to the floor when the sun had fallen and even the moon had begun to lean just past the top.

The next morning, from the wake-up call, we organize last night's debate and scrutinize where our opinions have been exhausted.
