I approached the village that made the request for a goblin crusade.
In the village's central square, a dozen villagers gather with axes, quacks, etc.
That's crazy.
Why are the villagers getting ready to go to battle when you've made a request to the Adventurer Guild?
With a little doubt, I spoke to someone who was at the center of the group.
"Um..."
"Hmm, what? So who are you?
"I say Hurt. I've been sent here by the King's Adventurer Alliance."
With that said, show your guild card.
"... what?
"Also, you've already come!?"
"No, wait. He's an F-rank."
"Why not? You're the lowest adventurer."
"Goblins are E-rank demons, aren't they?
"For once, the Alliance has decided that if we deal with this at our five parties, we will have no problem."
With that said, I introduced the fellow who was behind me.
"A, are they all your people!?"
"So many..."
"Some knights are strong."
"Village Chief, yes, how much did I say I would pay!?"
"Wah, I just accepted the amount they told me I needed on the goblin crusade!
Something about the reward was going to rub it.
By the way, we've come this far at five parties, but the rewards don't increase.
Nor did they negotiate an increase in remuneration.
That's why this village hasn't paid more.
Looks like the receptionist took care of getting more guild points instead.
If you earn guild points faster than more money, I'd be happier that way.
"Don't worry. We just signed up for the Adventurer Alliance, didn't we? That's why it's low rank and low reward. But don't worry. Because if you crusade for a few goblins, you have enough strength to do it without a problem."
"... I'm sorry, but my request is about to change."
"Eh."
Actually, the village girl got caught by a goblin.
"A human has been grabbed!? Is that in the woods? Or near here?
"Right next to this village."
"Well, a bunch of goblins..."
"Huh. I'll be a pretty big herd."
Right next to the human habitat, the fact that goblins start attacking humans means that their flock is becoming a fairly large group.
This kind of information was widely known in this world as common sense for the price.
"Our village is not wealthy enough to offer you an extra reward"
A man called the village chief said so with a dark face, holding the axe in his hand.
"I'm sorry, will you go home? The deposit should be paid from the guild."
Tell us to go home.
If you look around, there's no sign of any women or children anymore, and the only people here are the guys with what's likely to be a weapon.
They had prepared eyes.
Oh... you know what?
Has this village chosen the path of annihilation because it has no money?
With that last resistance, I guess I was getting ready to go to the Goblin's nest now.
I'm sorry I had to get you ready for this, but...
I don't care (what they're ready for).
By the time we got to this village, the worst route was avoided.
Even if there were a hundred goblins, this village would not be destroyed.
Because we're here.
"I'll do a crusade for a few goblins. We've been asked to do that."
-That's right.
If only the number (...) body (...) pour (...) goblins is within the scope of the request.
If it's up to nine, it's within range of 'a few', right?
So, we have one with nineteen.
Defeating up to one hundred and eighty goblins, all of them, for defeating nine goblins at a time, does not mean they are out of the scope of the request.
If there were more than a hundred bodies, I don't think they would count.
Is that a painful excuse?
But when I was a brave guardian, I've saved villages and towns around the world for free, and I think this is something else.
The most recent problem is that there are women who have been caught.
We should help them out as soon as possible.
"There's a captured woman, isn't there? Let's go help him quickly."
"Ho, are you sure you can help me? Maybe there's over a hundred goblins..."
"I'll run away when it's dangerous. We're adventurers."
The profession of an adventurer who puts his life first basically escapes as soon as he feels in danger.
I'm more capable of detecting danger than a veteran adventurer, and I try not to fight enemies I can't handle on my own.
We're just adventurers.
I can't help but have a low ability to perceive danger.
Is the enemy a flock of about a hundred goblins......
Maybe there's a goblin magician, a warrior, a goblin road.
He looked over at the people behind me, anticipating the enemy's power.
Heroes and Holy Knights, Virgin, Divine Beast, Three Dragons, Three Spirit Kings, etc.
─ ─ Yeah. Maybe, it's okay.
I don't feel dangerous.
I'm an F-rank adventurer, so maybe I'm just low on crisis detection, but I feel like I should do something about it.
It's all right.
"Right...... that's comforting. I don't mind if you run away when it's dangerous. Can you accompany me, please?
"I'll take care of it"
"Did you all hear that? This adventurer..."
"It's Hart."
"Mr. Hart and the others are going to help us rescue Rayna."
"Oh, there is."
"Nice to meet you!
You're the daughter who got caught, aren't you, Mr. Raina?
We have to go and help.
When a woman is caught by a goblin, she is made a nursery for reproduction. It hasn't seemed that long since we got caught, but we better hurry.
"Tina!"
"Yes."
A short distance away, I call Tina, who was waiting with everyone.
"Where there's a bunch of goblin-like demons around here, you know?
"Um... oh, there it is!
Tina's wide-area magic detection capabilities are among the best in the world.
He immediately found me a goblin nest.
"Looks like there's a goblin nest over there"
"Oh, my God."
"You know where the nest is."
"Sure, there's a lot of people over there who say they saw the goblins."
If you have sightings, I'm sure of it.
"Excuse me. Is there anything in Mr. Raina's belongings that was grabbed? Hopefully something she has recently touched is good..."
"Raina's belongings?
"What do you use that for?
"Ko, how about this. It's the basket she had when she was caught."
A man named Rayna's father brought me a cage.
Looks like Mr. Raina was attacked by a goblin while carrying lunch to his place where he was cutting trees in the nearby woods.
"Thank you"
Receive the cage and feel the remnants of her magic.
... It's okay, I think I should.
I had recently been able to transfer, even without the marking of the metastasis, as long as I knew where I wanted to transfer and the wavelength of the human magic on the spot.
The remnants of Mr. Raina's magic power, who was not a wizard, were unlimited and thin, but at a level that was fine for a critical transfer.
"Rifa, bring everyone in!
"Okay. Take care, Mr. Hart."
"Tina..."
"Of course, I'll go with Master Hart."
Yeah, that's right.
He immediately understood what I was trying to do.
"Mayor, we're only going to rescue Mr. Raina first."
"Yes?
The goblin nest, depending on its size, is badly intertwined and takes a very long time to find a human imprisoned inside.
Rescue operations are harder than the extermination of goblins.
So I decided to head directly to Mr. Raina on the transfer.
"See you later. They will guide you and escort you."
Leaving that to the village chiefs, me and Tina moved to Mr. Raina.
