The Peerless Kobold (WN)

Does High Cobolt understand human language?

That was me, the village chief's daughter, when Maril was being shot in a slingshot and seeping tears into the pain.

If I were to see you like this, I should have run away with everyone in the village just like my mother said... I regretted it. If I die like this, the look on my mother's face at the end becomes something that contains anger... that's so sad.

"Huh..."

As I let my gaze drift through the pain, I found a bandit with a slingshot. The burglar has one of the burglars spinning around on my side at some point, and that guy puts up another slingshot at me, trying to shoot the next bullet.

"... ugh."

But all I can do is meditate my eyes and endure the pain that will come after a while.

but the moment never came.

... off the hook?

When I open my eyes thinking so, the blade is sticking out of the chest of the bandit who was after me.

"Huh!?

Suddenly, a crude man lays dead to the ground and a long-bodied dog man stands behind him reveals himself.

(Cobolt? Much taller...)

Events from there flowed precisely with furious momentum.

Both us and the wild thieves roar abruptly behind the bandits as they all gaze at that cobolt. It aroused my instinctive fear somewhere...

When the silver cobolt, the Lord of the Roar, could poke his hand at the ground and roar again, a lot of earthen fangs grew from the feet of the bandits, poking them in their legs to seal the movement.

The bandits, who were lucky not to have been damaged by the fangs of that earthen mass, were likely to be over 190 cm tall. Two cobolts, pale and black in the arms, flew away, and in an instant each one of them snapped down two bandits at a time.

From outside our perception of the two cobolts of an even larger body, this time a cobolt with a spear protrudes. That cobolt was still in its normal close shape, but the spear that protruded quickly was piercing without aiming past the pitiful burglar's chest... and if he noticed the first long skinny cobolt too, he's stumping one more.

The coordinated assault, which reversed the sense of vigilance by the Kobolts, rendered the majority of the bandits powerless in just a few moments.

"Su, awesome..."

Even though I was just overwhelmed by the sight, I remembered when a village hunter picked up a puppy in a nearby forest at an early age.

I loved that puppy so much at the time, I used to go visit the hunter... but one day the puppy I was playing with suddenly stood up and walked out.

Yes, that wasn't a puppy, it was a baby bolt...

In the end, the boy Bolt was returned to the woods by a village hunter, and I was saddened for a while, but I'm sure the decision to return that kid to the woods was right.

'Cause, Cobolt... it's something big and scary.

Is this what she looks like now?

"Damn, I don't know, it's hard to leave and it's hard again!

"No, things are getting worse!? Cobolt, you scare me!!

Four of the village vigilantes sat back, but set up a weapon that seemed to cut badly against the alien cobolts.

……………

………

Hmm, even after the bandits threw their weapons on the ground, the villagers stood up and stared sharply at this one. In addition, the flax-haired village daughter, who cannot wipe out the impression of being out of place, is also unable to hide her feelings of fear.

"Goufa, gaoooooooooo"

You're obviously on guard...

Besides, that's where the head of the bandit puts in the extra cross spear.

"Hey, silver wanker, are those guys good? I'm not convinced we're the only ones getting hit!!

The vigilantes who heard that made me even more alert.

"Gurua, gao on? Do you want to do it, Admiral?

"Gah, kuaooooo (no, you don't have to)"

Let's leave the rest to her.

"Wow, ooh, ooh"

Nothing, just howling as a signal.

As everyone's attention gathered on me, the footsteps stepped on the ground from the village's northwest direction, a little further away, gradually approaching the village entrance. When the sight of the bandits and some of the villagers turns towards you, even as you guard this one, there is the figure of a red-haired wizard mentor.

"... on my journey, I stopped by (...) Ma (...) Village of Viel, what's this all about?

Muriel slowly approaches their side so as not to alarm the village vigilante. In doing so, remember to appeal to the Badge of the Wizard. You only gain a kind of social credibility by being a magician who graduated from a regular school of magic.

"He's a magician..."

"" Ooh!

From the sight of those whose gaze is suspicious, the vigilantes turn into a cage of expectations. On the other hand, the sight of the bandits turned out to be surprising.

"I wonder if this feels like a burglar has pushed him into the village."

Muriel, the red-haired demon mentor, speaks to the flax-haired village daughter sheltered behind the vigilante.

"Yes! Master Mage, these rogues told me to bring food and gold to the village..."

"So what about those Kobolts over there?

"Well, it showed up abruptly and defeated the bandits."

Muriel stared at me, and again, the attention of everyone on the spot caught on to me.

Something subtly uncomfortable...

"... Everyone, that silver dog man is High Cobolt."

"Hi Kobolt?"

"What the hell?

"You've never heard of it..."

A voice of doubt is raised by the village daughter and the bandits.

The voice turned to surprise as soon as I heard the next Muriel's words.

There's a mutant species in Kobolt who's intelligent enough to understand our conversation.

Well, I don't know if there's a High Cobolt besides me who understands the common language of the continent... as per the prior meeting, Muriel mentioned that under the guise of a bona fide third party.
