The Skill Collector

"Wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh..."

The therapy is sounding coarse breathing sounds like a broken brass instrument. She looks extra tired because her chest is moving to bounce bigger than her shoulder wobble.

Me and Ariaria are climbing the mountain path flat, but long climbs are tough for her as she lives out of the basic house.

I'm asking for therapy today, and I'm aiming for a place.

"Shall we take a break?"

"You must not spoil this meat-wasting demon maniac. And if you're a little gentle, it's dangerous because you fall in love and start a courtship."

"Wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh"

I seem to want to say even one of my complaints with my sweaty face, but it seems to be the best I can breathe.

On the contrary, I started releasing the breakfast out of my mouth this morning, so I decided to take a break here once.

It was by the river, so wet the handkerchief and gently squeeze it, then gently place it on the forehead of the therapy that is diapering and rolling by the side of the road.

"Are you okay?"

"Huh. Soothing and pleasant."

"That's sweet, the collector."

Ariaria in her maid's clothes is looking down at her sleeping therapy with cold eyes.

As usual, you don't know which is the main one.

"Shall I confirm the request after the break? Looks like it's a goblin settlement investigation ahead of us."

"Sweat builds up under my chest and I feel sick...... oh yes it does! Uh, there's talk of a massive herd of goblins being discovered in the village of Miguelasibi. So I thought I'd do an ecological survey before they crusaded me."

Therapy rushed to correct his posture as he stuck his hand through his neck muscle and was wiping around his chest.

Goblin investigation? That's not what women do, is it?

"Ah, that face. Is it weird, after all, for a woman to approach a herd of goblins?

"Was it on your face, excuse me? I'm more worried than weird. It's that goblin."

"Collectors are about goblins...... what do you think?

I lifted the round glasses with my index finger all the time and asked a strange question.

I've never thought in depth about goblins, but I guess there's some intention. Think seriously.

"Child-like intelligence and inferior muscle strength to human adults. You're highly reproductive and you say, 'If you see one, think there's ten of them', right? We hear that strength is not so great, but that priority crusades are due to fear of ferocity and the danger of herds."

"Yes, you're right. That's right, you're a collector."

"Other people say goblins, they say they take away women and children and do reproductive behavior."

Aria says what I said was hard.

One of the reasons they are at risk is to take a human woman home and have their own child.

"Ha, you're wrong about Aria, too. Was that what the collector thought?

My therapy is shaking my head with a loud sigh.

Is it not true what you think or what?

"Is it not? I have encountered a flock of goblins, and I have visited attacked villages. At that time, a human woman was taken away."

There have been so many opportunities for me to encounter goblins when I have been a pedestrian for years.

I don't even know a few of them who were begged by villagers to attack the Goblin settlement and help the women and children who were being caught.

people who were wrapped around their necks and treated like livestock. They were all skinny and some had already been killed.

"There it is. Why do you have the idea that if you take a woman away, you will... do something naughty? Human beings are out of the question when it comes to the aesthetics of the goblins. Think about how humans can get laid with goblins."

If you ask me, so is that. I wouldn't prefer a human face if I tried it from a goblin. Judgment criteria should be different from human beauty and ugliness in the first place.

"But it's true you're taking a woman, isn't it? So why are you taking me home without killing me"

"That's for eating. Goblins eat humans. Like people eat animals."

I know goblins have cannibal habits. Whatever, they have the skills to be born and 'cannibals'.

"Why we take them away is to eat. I choose a woman because the meat is soft and more irresistible than a man. After you take it home, you leave it without even feeding it, because emptying it in your stomach makes it easy and tasty to treat your guts. And then if you kill him, the meat will rot, but if he lives, he won't rot."

Was it?

I knew what Goblin was capable of, but I didn't understand his habits that much.

Their perception of them is weaker than people's. Demons attack in groups. Most people would be retarded and violent, thinking to a certain extent.

... I'm impressed with your knowledge of the demons of therapy.

"The way a belated woman talks fervently about a vicious demon, not a love banana...... can't watch"

Aria is deliberately wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, but not a drop of tears.

"Leave me alone! Knowledge of demons is important. I can also deal with it if I know. Even though it's life-threatening!

Therapy, which was pounding Aria's chest, raised her bright red hand and roared, "Whoa..."

Aliaria's body is magical metal, although she looks like a human being. It hurts if you hit him with your bare hands.

"Knowledge does matter, doesn't it? I've been wondering, does Goblin understand the language? I wonder if there's a conversation going on between the goblins."

You look like you're shouting and uttering something verbal every now and then.

"For once, Goblin exists. Isn't it just impossible to have a conversation? Because some basic words just exist. Kill him, surrender, go, wait. Hello, good morning and good evening, greetings that bring together. Or something."

"I see. I've certainly never seen a scene where we're having a conversation in a long sentence"

Did I not know anything about goblins when I said I had lived so long?

Memories were suspicious. Threats existed at a young age, so I didn't fail to prepare for them by gathering quite enough information.

But I'm not complacent right now, but I'm not dealing with you in goblins. So I wasn't even thinking about finding out. I need to reflect.

Because I know the most important factor that causes death is alarm.

At this point, I've been wondering about demons for a long time.

"I understand about the ecology of goblins, is it true that goblins don't practice reproduction with humans?

"I won't. In the first place, it's strange to expose humans to breed. Goblins also have females."

"But I've seen instances where a human woman was actually taken away... and dumped outside the village in an unusual way."

"I think that rubbed sin on goblins for what people did. If Goblin really did it, I won't leave a body behind. I'll take the human bones and use them as decorations and furniture."

A chair made of human bones in a goblin nest hole. I've seen rib armor and skull helmets.

Blame the goblins for human stupidity......?

That can't be... I've seen human stupidity in this long life over and over again.

"In the first place, because we can't reproduce. It would be possible to have sex with humans and goblins, but you won't get pregnant. Have you ever seen a goblin half or something?

"No, you don't."

"It would. If you really could have a child, you wouldn't be born with goblins intact. It should have both mother and father characteristics. You can't have children with the most biologically different species. Except for subhumans close to humans. Dwarves and elves are almost identical to human beings."

You seem to have misunderstood goblins all this time.

I thought it was a more troublesome and evil demon, but isn't it?

"Then there are new questions. Demons exist that combine multiple demons and animal traits, right? Griffon with the upper body of an eagle and the lower body of a lion, for example. Cocatrice with a chicken body and a snake tail. Yeah. What about that? Isn't it a demon that we were able to interact with each other?

If you can't mate with a different species, you won't have such an organism.

"Uh, is that it? I've always wondered that, too. But the secret was revealed.... from Ariaria's mouth"

I look at her unexpectedly because I got a name that I never expected.

He seemed tired of the conversation, and there was Ariaria who boiled water and drank tea alone.

"Is that the story? The majority of demons that combine the characteristics of multiple organisms… are experimental animals that were genetically engineered by the ancients. That's what they let the wild breed and breed to this day. No."

He exposed something outrageous while drinking tea.

Ancients are a species of intelligence superior to modern people and are said to have perished hundreds or thousands of years ago.

"Genetic manipulation is the first ear, but did the ancients do this too?"

I know the ancients were researching skills to create annoying skills, but were they also doing creating demons?

- Ability to ignore people's reason 'skills'. Creation of new organisms.

What the ancients did was against God.... No, were you even trying to be a god?

"It looks like we originally invested in plant variety improvement, but there are always idiots out there who want to research this stuff for military purposes. We're going to create the most powerful demon and take over the enemy country."

Did you want a powerful demon as a force? That's convincing to think about.

There are also wizards in this age who use necromancers and golems that manipulate the undead. Maybe the ancients and the contemporary have similar ideas or stops by.

"I learned a lot. So, with that in mind, let's go observe the goblins."

"Yes! I could go because I was pretty tired too!

The boobs of the well raised therapy shake heavily up and down.

Therapy will be a great prey if you recognize Goblin until yesterday, but if this story is true, there is no danger there.

... No, when meat is softer and meatier than normal women because they are not trained, is there any demand as a fine ingredient? I can't tell you this even if my mouth is torn.

At the beginning, I go on in a formation called Therapy of non-combatants in the middle and Ariaria at the rear.

"I feel multiple signs. Be careful not to make footsteps."

I'm activating a high level of 'cover-up' just in case, so I don't think Goblin will ever find me.

Look under your eyes as you hide in the shadow of a tall tree.

There is a section of the forest where the trees disappeared. There was a goblin settlement there.

"Looks like you just got to take the top of the settlement. The goblins... twenty one. Do you have eight well-fitted hobgoblins around?"

That's all goblins exist within sight.

Not even on a massive scale, but enough power to attack one village.

"Is Hobgoblin homogeneous to Goblin?

"That's a good question, collector. Even though goblins are shorter than human adult women, hobgoblins are about the same as human men, right? Skin colors and skeletons are similar, but hobgoblins are quite muscular."

Don't get feverish when it comes to explaining demons.

All I wanted to know was if I was one of them, but would I listen to you very much here?

"The opinion that 'I'm homogeneous by name' and 'names are appropriately given by people, aren't they? That's something else,' but that's the same kind of opinion, isn't it? Goblins are highly individualized. The level of intelligence also varies from about two to ten years of age in humans. Hobgoblins were bred by physically superior individuals. Occasionally, individuals with high intelligence and skills such as' attribute magic 'that come from within a goblin become goblin shermans, goblin magicians, etc."

Is that the idea of therapy? Indeed, there are individual differences in goblins.

There are intelligent leaders in the herd, and it's a classic in the classic for adventurers who don't know it to see painful eyes all the way into a trap.

We can crusade this number without any problems, but now we have to give top priority to examining the ecology.

Therapy takes out the notebook and writes enthusiastically. Aria seems to be somewhere happy even though she is stunned by the look of it.

Exploring the neighborhood, there is a cave entrance near the settlement, where a weaponized hobgoblin stands watch.

Exploring a wider range of signs, there are four signs behind the cave that are different from goblins. This is a sign of weakness that you are human or that you are also small.

If you're preparing under before you eat, you need to help.

Prejudice about goblins has disappeared, but the fact remains that they attack and kill people.

"Looks like someone's been captured in that cave. So can I make an observation so far? I'm going to go help a little. I don't want to be a prominent pedestrian."

"Really?!? I think a collector would be fine, but be careful. Don't insult me that it's just goblins. Because they are a threat to humanity."

The voice was seriously flavorful and conveyed my sincere concern.

"Thank you. It's most dangerous to stay alert."

"That's right! That's why I want many people to know the right information. You have to study the ecology of goblins to reduce the damage at all and spread it to the world!

Behind the round glasses of the fist-clenched therapy is a light of strong will.

I thought you were just a demon lover... but it looks like you have to change your perception of therapy as well as goblins.

It might have been a noble aim if enthusiasm for demons had also helped many.

"I think it's a great idea."

"Ah, if you like, goblin. Just keep the hell alive! After all, if possible, it's male and female's turn. Because I want to study it carefully! Or, don't get me wrong. I was just talking about reproductive behavior, so let's check the goblin array, that's not what I'm talking about! Just because you don't have a girlfriend doesn't mean you don't have a hobby for peeking into sex between goblins! This is only academic."

Therapy is blushing and desperately denying as he lines up his words early.

... Should I withdraw the foreword?
