Kyuuketsu Hime wa Barairo no Yume o Miru

A shiny, polished single-edged curved knife (spotter) hit my rusty straight sword and sparks and iron fragments flew.

If you look, my sword was bouncing and flying on the gizzard where we met. There are no visible wounds on the weapon in the opponent's hand.

Bad. Weapons, power, whatever. Opponents are up there.

For a moment, a continuous blow came where I was frightened, and although I managed to take the blow, the tip of the sword that followed decided on my shoulder.

"Figs!!"

In a hurry, I and my opponent - an upright half-beast half man with lizard face and tail with muddy green scaly skin - break in between Lizardman and wave down the rusty axe I got.

Lizardman took it with a left-hand circular shield (buckler) with an extra look, and flanked the single-edged curved knife (spotter) on his right hand.

"Guaaaaaaaa!?!"

The belly of the ninomae was broken thoroughly, and a tremendous amount of blood flowed.

Goblin Generals protected by thick muscles, which is probably why it was done to this extent, but if this was a lined goblin, it would have been somewhere amputated.

In fact, Ninomae, who doesn't cry in rare things, is holding her belly slashed by bitterness. After a moment, the wound may have reached the point of halibut.

I made up my mind when I got here.

I can't beat this guy no matter what. In fact, half of the elite Goblin Knight and hard-faced Kobolt Warriors I've brought with me have already turned into unspeakable wrecks when it comes to challenging them by a one-on-one majority.

"Once we pull, Ninomae! Knight and Warrior, stop him! - Let's go, Ninomae!

A total of 10 surviving Goblin Knight and Kobolt Warrior follow my instructions to Lizardman, but every time his sword flies, he flies with a pointy break like a nose.

In the meantime, me and Ninomae were able to escape the scene with a crawling body.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

This is IX (fig), who is still doing high goblins.

I was taken to the 21st floor of the Ruins Labyrinth (Dungeon) with my friends and men, but I'm here and I'm currently feeling stuck.

Unlike the people who lived upstairs, the demons that go out here are incredibly tough.

For example, the Wild Caterpillar, which is very similar to the Yellow Caterpillar, which was our staple food that was also on top, has a large body around its lid. It usually takes at least 20 people to kill it, and yet two to three people are sacrificed each time.

Whether you're trying to fit into some other trap, or some smart guy who senses and runs away, or someone as simply as strong as Lizardman just now, these guys aren't always a glimmer either.

That's why I had about 80 when I first got here. My legion is also in a situation where I can't catch up with even a small number of highly fertile goblins and cobolts, reduced to about 50.

As a hunting ground, Kohen may have beaten me too much loads.

That one said, "If it doesn't seem possible, I'll put it back in the original hierarchy, so tell me the next time you come," so you can go back to the original hunting grounds if you ask me.

But I thought, "Wouldn't your growth rate be okay? He followed me."

I mean, that's all you expect of me.

If I can't do it here, they'll think I'm a weak male. When that happens, it's obvious that you can't mate with that one for the rest of your life. Because females are naturally attracted to strong males.

"... then this is where you work so hard"

Even at the expense of all my people and men, I have to be even stronger.

"That said, is there such an easy way to be strong...?

I thought about it. Strong opponent I've met before in the first place. its features.

"After all, it's troublesome who's big and powerful."

I caught a glimpse of a ninomae rolling with herbs on her belly wound. Originally, he was big and armed. This would mean that such things are dictated by their natural qualities. Then it's impossible for me to wear it.

Then I remembered a young male from Ningen who had previously combined his swords.

He was smaller than me in stature, had no power, no big deal, but he fought each other or more with me.

"Is that a move..."

Techniques like Ningen's moves and fights seem to be acquired, so remembering this seems pretty effective in the future.

But the problem is that demons usually fight with the power and ability they were born with, so they don't have the twats to remember those moves, and even if they did, they probably won't be able to remember them overnight.

Now that we are in a state of persecution, we are unlikely to be able to take the time to do so, so we need to look for a way to be stronger, more quickly.

So, I met with Lizardman today to pull my worn sword out of my sheath.

"- He had power and speed, but more importantly, the quality of the weapon was different."

Yes. Here was the answer I asked for.

Power is born. The moves take time. Then you just have to use a powerful weapon.

The problem is that so powerful a weapon, hey, you don't get it.

The rusty weapons and protective equipment that the dead Ningen had are something you'll find if you look for them quite a bit, but they haven't fallen off first when it comes to shiny goodies.

Why, from what Elder Goblin has told me, there's something called the 'Crate' rolling around this ruins labyrinth (dungeon), and a fairy clan called 'Lepracone' puts weapons and protective gear in it that seems to work, and we don't get a chance to see it.

And the 'crate', unfortunately, they say, keeps the demons out of touch.

But on the contrary, Ningen can open it, so attack the moment Ningen opens it or... No, Ningen that gets around here is no less than Lizardman's rehearsal earlier (who?), and besides, it's definitely a group, so it's not tacky.

Still, it would be quicker to count this one and attack and plunder them.

"Keep one or two ningens first."

It seems normal for goblins in other settlements in the upper tier to have several ningen females at all times for seeding, but I've never had one before. Well, for the reason that I didn't happen to have the opportunity, and because I didn't think I needed to waste my time eating rice because if I were to keep it, I started to think it might be a good idea to come here and keep it as a personnel to open the crate.

If I'm going to say extravaganza, I want to learn Ningen moves too, so I want that kind of skilled Ningen...... well, this will also be a story after I can afford it.

In the meantime, we need to figure out a way to procure some better weapons.

To where I thought so, the young goblins who were going to procure food came back.

I'm just inexperienced yet, and all I have in my hand are little things like Rockworm and Bloodbad. This will also make it difficult for bait to reach everyone.

At least if I hadn't encountered that Lizardman today, they'd have caught us some better prey... Though it's over, I'm still thinking about it and I'm disappointed.

And when they and the slave cobolts noticed burns all over the place and burnt hair, they spoke up.

"What's wrong with that injury?

Hobgoblin, a leader among the young men at the head, answers upright.

"Ha. Ano prey hunting lout citato colo, weird shii technique de fire flying bashite resistance no injuries during saleta death"

If you look, I could see the Cobolts carrying and bringing the white fairy cat Kett-See, who hung his limbs tied to the stick - no, is that a wand?

I don't know the cat year, but I feel somewhat old. Poorly fleshed, it seems almost nowhere to eat. He said it was a suspicious technique, but it's probably magic. I remember some of the Ningen adventurers using magic with their wands in the same way, and fuh I was intrigued.

Magic... Magic! This is a powerful weapon, too, in a way!

"Is that prey still alive?

"Hi. Battle teil en route de, sudden two frafranninali, easy second life ke capture lidekimacita"

"I see. Hey, get him over here."

Looking at Kett-See, the fairy cat brought by Kobolt's young as he lingered, down to the ground, he doesn't seem to have any particularly noticeable injuries, but he's relaxed and dripping at the tip of his beard.

"Whoa. Grandpa, can you hear me? I just wanted to make sure."

Then the fairy cat Kett-See looked back at me from under her stretched eyebrows, powerless.

"... I can hear you. Wow.... I'm sorry to hear you get caught goblining..."

"Hmm. I'm sorry about 'What the hell'. All I want to know is if you can use magic?

"... I can use up my magic right now, but I can't even light a fallen leaf.... I don't want to get old at all. I won't resist, so if you want to eat it, eat it."

Hopefully. They can still use magic on this fairy cat, Kett-See. If you're such a dashing old man, then it's more convenient to keep him alive until you learn magic than to eat him on this occasion.

"Hey, Grandpa. Depending on the conditions, you can keep them alive without eating them."

"Well, it's not a waste of my life over this period. Kill him now."

"You're a short-minded old man, it's nothing to lose for him."

"... what have you done?

Ket Sea, a fairy cat who asks back in surprise.

"Me - No, I want us to teach you magic"

The wizard of the fairy cat Kett-Sea looked back at my face, who replied with a smile.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

A month after that, we were in the 'boss room' halfway up the hierarchy with each young hobgoblin, who evolved into me and Ninomae, Goblin Knight, and Goblin Mage.

"If you shoot the guardian in this room," Metal Golem, "you get a chest that I touch with a weapon in it, right?

"Bye. If you shoot me... then..."

The wizard of the fairy cat Kett-See - mentor Nyanko (mentor) - nodded slightly weakly at my question.

"What did you do? Can't you trust our arms? You taught me magic."

"... Sure, your aptitude, especially yours, is not a lot, but amateurs are still a good place. Plus, demons kill the guardians of the" Boss Room "and get crates. It's not a normal idea. I don't care what kind of sanctions are imposed if someone finds out about this."

The Nyanko mentor (mentor) trembles on his back and looks around in a restless manner.

"Upstairs, you mean“ that one ”? Then next time you come, apologize and you'll be fine."

"- Who's that guy?

As I tried to explain that one to the strangely twisted Nyako mentor, Ninomae, who was walking in the lead, gave a cry to everyone to be cautious so that they could hear me.

"Chi, chi, chi, chi! Golem, Gacoccihe, come to Katte, Luzo! All, prepare for battle!!"

Following Ninomae's instructions, Goblin Knight got behind it with a splash, and instead Goblin Mage and Goblin Soussarer, who were around me, danced first.

I'll cut up the story, too, and line up at the center of that line.

A giant metal golem, like a chunk of steel if you look at it, was about to walk slowly toward me with its "red eyes” in the middle of my uppermost face.

This guy, who's three times bigger vertically and horizontally than Ninomae, probably weighs a lot too. Every time I walk, the stone floor shakes with tremors.

"All the magic squads, once they've shot the first shot, immediately retreat behind the knight! Knight defends the Magic Squad! After the magic attack, beat it with me and Ninomae. As soon as the magic returns, attack from a distance! Aim is a weakness. - Ninomae, you know where it is?

"Eye notocolo d 'orou. Connamon, look Leva Fool Demowakal!

Once I checked the back, all my people were nodding too. Well, if you're such an obvious weakness, what kind of an idiot would be a goblin, but you can't miss it.

I am a necklace on my chest - an inappropriate one that has just connected glowing stone shards, but whatever this stone is called a 'demonic stone', they say that a wizard will be the medium to use magic, and when I first said aptitude test and asked this stone to confirm it through magic to Master Nyako, there was aptitude for five of the flock's goblins, including me, so finding time other than hunting taught me how to use magic, and these days it has improved much, and hunting has become easier - through magic, I imagine "fire" between my open hands.

Then a mass of flame was born between the spread palms as much as the head of the child goblin.

The other magic squads do the same, each working out magic like flames, light, thunder, and wind about a fist between their hands.

Everything magic has its own attributes and doing, and all this depends on compatibility or something, and everyone can only use one type of magic except me. By the way, I can use five different attributes. By the time I found out about it, it was something that Master Nyanko peeled and pulled back.

"Lord, are you really just a high goblin?!"

Nevertheless, I have still begun to learn magic for a month. So far it's about the magic of fire that makes things things.

"Fire!

On my signal, the magic of the Magic Squad was unleashed on the head of the metal golem one after the other.

The moment they thought my flame released first would strike me straight in the eye, the metal golem was in an unexpectedly smooth motion, defending its weakness with its right hand. My flames are scattered to the extent that I made burn marks on those two arms.

Keep walking in that position as if nothing had happened, subsequent magic bursts into the body of the metal golem, but none of it deals damaging damage.

"... hmm?

But when I realized for a moment that the movement had stopped, I looked back at the ninomae behind me.

"Didn't the magic work now?

"Um. Thunder Dattana"

In Ninomae's words, I looked back at Goblin Soussarah, who could use thunder magic as he was played.

"Your magic works! The rest of you, get this guy's support! You prepare to shoot as powerful thunder as you can."

"" "" Wakarimashita "" "

"Ninomae. Let's go!

I pulled out the rusty sword on my hips.

"Ooh!!

Ninomae also swung a rusty axe and jumped to the front row.

Keep two together and go to the metal golem.

Gatsun! Gatsun! And whenever the sword hits the axe, this weapon is missing, but it's not something I learned about later.

I manage to attack my weak eye with a huge hammer-like metal golem fist, but my guard is hard to reach.

There, the voice I was waiting for hung up.

"- Thunder Magic Ikimus!

Me and Ninomae quickly retreated from the ray into the words, and a lightning magic bigger than earlier flew in at the perfect time, hitting the chest of the metal golem.

At that moment, the metal golem stops the pitch and movement as expected.

"Ninomae!"

"Macacello!"

On the brink of Ninomae's axe hitting her defenseless eyes, a breathtaking metal golem moved slightly, and the axe took her eyes slightly off and dug a ditch in her face.

"Cimatta!?

Conversely, metal golem fists roar toward the defenseless Ninomae after rolling out the great moves.

"Damn!

If I had mastered the magic of thunder too, I'd have done something that wouldn't have happened like this!

A moment later, anticipating the appearance of Ninomae, who would be slaughtered by spitting blood reflexes, I struck my sword into a metal golem with at least one machete - and all my body spirits.

Moment after moment, a spark of thunder splashes from my rusty sword.

"A magic sword?!"

The stunned voice of the Nyanko mentor, who had refrained at the rearmost, echoed.

On the verge of hitting the Ninomae, a metal golem that showers my thunder and stops moving.

For my greatest chance, I returned my sword and said, "Eat it!" I put my sword tip straight into his eyes.

Parin! and an outgoing light noise broke my metal golem eyes.

The metal golem, whose eyes were broken, smashed apart as it collapsed in dismay on the spot.

"... did you do it?

"Um. Yattana, fig!!

Soon after, the roar of victory rose from within my companions, and I waved a worn out sword, too, in response to the cheer.

and -.

I heard strange music from nowhere, and while we were confused, the metal golem fragments sank to the floor and instead came out of a box made of wood.

"Is this the chest?

"Bye. It's not yours."

Encouraged by the Nyako mentor who came forward, I opened that chest and there was one sword inside.

"Whoa. This is good, because my sword is not going to be used anymore"

I wore out, threw a sword on the spot with little blade left behind, and I grabbed a new sword and pulled it out.

A cloudless body reflects my face.

I feel that my face is even closer to Ningen than before because of my mind, the corners are longer, my body shape is no longer wasted meat and tight.

"... it seems to have evolved. Your lord is no longer a goblin, he's not an Oni."

Instructor Nyanko explained it to me in the tone that it was truly frightening.

"And the sword, apparently, is like the Devil's Sword. It's out of standard everywhere."

"Ho."

When I was told and put magic through my sword, it instantly changed into a helical form.

"... that's a strange weapon. Well, I like it, so I'm not complaining."

"So it's time to go back. Because if you stay too long, your guardian will be resurrected again."

"What?! Will the Guardian be resurrected again? Then if I kill him, will I get another 'chest'?

"Well...... hey, no way?!"

I guess you could have guessed what I was trying to say, mentor Nyanko looking around you and me.

Yeah, of course it's what I expected.

"Then we'll have all the other guys' weapons and gear. It wouldn't be fair on my own, would it? I'd like to try this out."

In contrast to the Nyanko mentor with the head, the Below Ninomae companions are starting to prepare for the next battle with willingness. I just waved the Devil's Sword and joined my people.

So, in the end, due to the effect of this sword and the newly learned Magic Sword, we fought 20 fights in a row until we were hungry, and where we got weapons and protective equipment there, we left the boss room behind.

By the way, during this battle, Ninomae evolved into the Middle-Ghost (Troll), her stature exceeded 2m, she also gained a new giant axe from the crate, and others in turn evolved into the higher-ranking hygoblin species.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Why are you suddenly a" demon ghost (Oni) tribe "in two stages of evolution!? Or are you mostly a superior race around... Wow - and the gear isn't the extremely rare" Spiral Sword (Karadborg) "?!?"

A couple of days after that, as usual, I brought some delicious bait with a melting tongue: sandwich and shoe cream, and that person I visited was more disturbed than I've ever seen before.

Apparently, I've achieved more than I expected.

By the way, instructor Nyanko, the moment he saw the beauty of this other person - is it much appreciated? - Somehow he blew a bubble and fell.

"Good luck for you! Absolutely."

"I won't mate!!"

I was just turned down.

Speaking of which, a ningen male who looks like an asshole used to say.

"Um... well, at least give me a kiss - oh, it doesn't have to be a mouth, so I'll lick everything behind my feet"

"... you've evolved into a handsome man, and I'm sorry for your character."

"Ha. Really?

Even if they say beautiful guys (handsome) or something, I don't know, does it mean 'stronger'?

Then, that one was joyfully brave and watching the pile of sandwiches and shoe cream eating buddies and cobolts, but he has offered the back of his right hand with some blown out sigh.

"... well, I'll forgive you enough to mouth it here for the reward of good luck"

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Finally! Finally! Five months early in life! Finally, I succeeded in taking the step to mating!!

I got that hand with my kneeling, trembling hand, and I kissed him softly.

………

………

"...... blah!!"

"KHAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! I can eat!!"

"Olesama Omaemarkaziri"

I don't know what I'm doing myself. As soon as I smelled puffy, soft, slippery skin and females, something in me bounced.

"No, no, no, no!!"

There was some tremendous momentum, that guy's fist waved, and when he noticed it, he was looking out at the dungeon ceiling with his shiny eyes.

"Wow, he's still alive!? Shit, if he evolves like this, he seriously sucks! Maybe I should leave a toddle here......!

My consciousness melted white as I listened to that lovely voice of yours.
