"It's unusual for Shinya-sama, isn't it?

I feel more damaged than Sylvie tells me.

"It sounds terrible, but I'm sad that I can't say it back..."

"Besides, it looks delicious pasta!

"Tomato pasta with horn rabbit meat. Eat before it gets cold.

"I'll take it!

"I'll take it.

They reached out without hesitation.

"... iiiiiiiiiiiing!

"Really! It's really delicious!

"That's good.

I tasted it, but I was worried it would suit my mouth, so I was relieved.

"But this is... salt... and pepper, right?

"Huh?! Goho, goho! Pepper?! It's a luxury product!

"Ah... thank you for the chance to get it.

Indeed, pepper is quite expensive compared to salt. However, there is enough dice in the inventory to afford such things. There was nothing in particular to use, and even the dies that kept accumulating exceeded 100 million.

"Well, when you think about it, your hands get really heavy..."

They both lose sight of the pasta and become immobile.

"I'm not returning what I used, and if you don't eat it, I'll throw away the pepper..."

"No, no, no, no! I'll eat it all!"

"That's right. Thank you very much.

You finished eating beautifully after all.

Dinner, which was a great admiration, ended with a great admiration.

"Now... there's pepper inside me..."

Sylvie is thinking of something while touching her stomach.

"Don't imagine anything weird, I'll listen to Sinya.

"Yeah, yeah! Listen to everything! Size three of your sister's? Um...

"I didn't hear you! I can't react even if I tell you that!

"Adventurer rank doesn't matter, does it?

"... Gohong. Let's talk about it. What did Shinya want to hear?

They both take a listening stance. It looks like we're finally getting to the point.

"As a matter of fact, when I entered the deep green forest, Ellie and Dojil, who had been involved with me, were having an intimate discussion.

"Those two...?

"So I talked to Lucas, the gatekeeper, and Baccal. So I heard about Ellie's sister, Sally, and Nihis-chan's mother, Terris.

………

Both of you look dark with a zoom. That's all I have. I can't help it... let's move on.

"The gatekeepers say that Ellie and Dojil are moving in revenge or something about the incident...

"That's not true..."

"Ellie..."

Ellie is my best friend's sister to both of us. You must think like your own sister.

"Ellie helped me the first day I came here, and I want to solve Ellie's situation if I can. But I can't read Ellie's movements because of the lack of information... so I thought we might find out something.

"Actually..."

"Puka, you promised you wouldn't talk about it!

Sylvie stopped Puka so hard that she tried to say something.

"But..."

"Sinya-kun, can I die?!

"Nh!! ………

"... I'm going to die... what are you talking about?

………

"Mr. Sylvie. Can I ask you something?

It seems we need to persuade Sylvie, not Puka.

"Absolutely not... Sinya-kun is kind... if you listen to me..."

"Mr. Sylvie. If I hadn't listened here, I would have gone to Ellie's. I just wanted to talk to you before I go. It's not good to burst into the darkness and scramble. So I want you to let me know if you can.

………

"Sylvie..."

"Ah! Already! All right, all right! You just have to talk!

Sylvie looked at me and Puka alternately and said she had given up.

"Thank you."

"That's how I thank you again! Sinya, you're too kind!

"Really...?

"Hah... you know the Knights of the Holy Knights came five years ago, right?

"You're here to exterminate Goblin, aren't you?

"Yes, there were too many goblins and the damage was spreading.

"... the Adventurer Alliance is now submitting Goblin damage reports and numerous Enemy Requests.

"So you're saying it's the same situation as then?

"Yes, we are dealing with the adventurers and the guards, including Ellie, but not in time.

"Indeed... there were many requests for Goblins on the bulletin board.

"If the process doesn't catch up, then again....."

You mean the Knights of the Holy Order. Ellie and the others were aiming for it.... "

The probability is high.

"If I come back, we'll all be back in the city!

"... that's not good. If we can get rid of him, he's one of the great powers in the world. Such a city is easily crushed.

Gah!

"I know that!

Sylvie shook her hands on the desk and wrinkled between her eyebrows. You don't have to tell me... I know a hundred of them. I said something extra.

"Sylvie. Thinya-sama is not bad.

"... sorry..."

"No, that was my fault. I'm sorry."

"... if the Knights come again, if they kill us... we will never let them into this city.

Puka's eyes were strong and determined.

Even if I hadn't seen Sally and the others at the end, I could have imagined what the end would have been from the body and the story.

Even now that the five years have passed, I can't even imagine that my hands will still be so angry that they will tremble and never cool down.

The world of monsters. The world of swords and magic. I came to know the dark part of the world I've always admired. Still...

"But...."

Two of you will listen to me.

"Tough things can happen in any world, anywhere. The only difference is whether it is familiar or not.

"Dear Sinya...?

Look at your hands. The hand of Shinya, who is still unfamiliar. But this hand has a power that I didn't have when I was in Japan. Then I want to help someone who wants to help...

When I was not Shinya, but Shinya Kaido, I could not help if I wanted to.

I don't want to feel that way again.

"... I'll take care of the goblins.

"No, Sinya, you're still in D Rank! And it's not just D-Rank! It's a real run!

……

"The opponent is Goblin! C rank! Even for free, you'll surely die if you take on that crowd!

………

"Dear Shinya... it may be strange for me to say that I tried to ask for a quest once, but it's too dangerous.

It's not that I'm not afraid. No matter how high your stats are, you die when you die. Even if Goblin is the target.

If it's a game, you can make a character again when you die. But in other words, if I die, I will die if I live as Shinya.

Probably end up dead. Until then. I am not sure because I have never died and I am not willing to try it.

And now I'm afraid of feelings.

Goblins are abundant. A large number of enemies can be a very troublesome opponent for solo players. I wish I could handle it alone, but normally I can't. Then I will definitely be injured. I'm afraid of the pain at that time.

If you're Japanese, most people have never been cut, worn, or, of course, enchanted. You may not be able to stand a few scratches.

Still... I know it hurts a lot to just watch without doing anything.

"I understand the danger. Besides, I don't know unless I try. It might surprisingly clear up the mess. I have an idea.

Above all, I can't let you go if you show me those two miserable faces you've been so kind to me ever since you've been here.

………

"I'll run away as soon as it's in danger. It's okay."

"... promise me you'll come back.

"Promise me, too.

"Okay. Be sure to come back. I promise."

"... hah... I knew this was happening. That's why I stopped puka.

Sylvie leaves her weight on her back.

"Dear Sinya... I'm sorry..."

Puka began to apologize.

"That's it! How about some snacks after dinner? I have some cookies that Nihis-chan loves.

"Cookies...?

"This is it!

"Baked goods?

The two of you look seriously at the cookies I took out of the inventory.

There is the concept of sweets, but there is no sugar in this world with high salt and pepper. It is not accurate, but it does not appear in general. In other words, there are no sugar cookies in this world.

Livestock, bachelor, thirty, I wanted to be able to make sweets that I could eat sugar with this triple punch. I was able to practice and make a lot of things, and I evolved. Become a sweet boy!

"Delicious?! What is this sweet baked goods?!

"How could there be such a wonderful treat in this world!? Where did you get it?!

"I don't sell anything else because it's my specialty.

Eh?!?!!!

"You look like the end of the world.

"It's the end of the world!

"I can't believe this is just happening... I'm dying!

"Ha ha ha. If you like me so much, I'll give you two a minute."

"Will you?!

"Can I have it?!

I was overwhelmingly hungry...

"Uh-huh. I'll wrap it up so you can take it home.

"I did it!!

Together they rejoiced. The closer we get to each other in a fight, the more the two of us are referred to.

What Ellie hates is the Goblins and the Holy Knights.

When I was called in front of the bulletin board, the request form that was pulled off by force was definitely a goblin slaughter. The Holy Knights were summoned by Goblin. I can't help hating it. But he hates the Holy Knights more than a goblin like that.

Feeling that Goblin's crusade would not catch up, Ellie is partnering with Dojil to plan an attack on the Holy Knights. Dojil is from this city, and if he knew about the incident, he would hate the Holy Knights.

However, the Holy Knights didn't have enough people to stand down. The story was in the woods.

This is my guess, but I don't think it's far... even if I'm wrong.

At least it will be absolutely necessary to crush the Goblins. I decided to start looking into the Goblin the next day.

"As far as the bulletin board is concerned, there are reports of Goblin damage, mainly in the dark green forest... the same situation as at the time of the incident. Puka and the others were right.

Crusade a goblin nesting in the middle of a deep green forest from one end... or at once...

What works for Goblins... "

"It's a ranged attack such as magic and bows and arrows.

Puka calls out when she says bumps in front of the bulletin board.

"Mr. Puka.

"You're going to crusade the Goblins...?

"I intend to.

"Let me help you as much as I can. You may place an order as my nominated quest.

"You don't have to do that. If you give me a nomination quest, Puka will go bankrupt.

Nominated Quests are special to Alliances, Nobles, and others, and their rewards are basically high.

"... please, I can only think of so many things I can help you with..."

"That's why I asked you to do it, and it's only natural.

………

Mr. Puka with a dark face. I guess I won't settle down if I don't do something myself.

"You don't have to look like that... that's right! Well, then, I'd like you to prepare some things for me, if you don't mind.

"... yes! Anything is guaranteed!

Are you happy to be able to do it? Your face gets brighter and brighter.

Well then, let me ask you this.

"... yes! Right now!

Give me the list of things I want and I'll get back to you right away.

"Then I'll come back tomorrow to get it, then.

Yes!

Puka holds my handed paper carefully in front of her chest. Hunting goblins is the job of adventurers and guards, and I don't think they're helping. Of course not, but... he's feeling a little better.

"I'll do my job.

Leave the Alliance behind and circle around where there was damage from the Goblins, not the Deep Green Forest… Information gathering.

Really? Thank you!

"No, I'll tell you as many stories as I can if they help.

I was worried that you would talk to the rednecks who just came here recently, but I was happy to talk to the neighboring villages and traders. If only one hate goblin were to be reduced, there would be people who would mix it up where we were talking.

"Looks like the goblins are after crops and livestock, and they're looking for food... and the goblins that come out are full of dark green woods to fill their bellies..." Okay, as expected.

Next is the Deep Green Forest.

After listening, you enter the deep green forest.

The state of the outer layer has not changed, but I noticed it after listening to the Goblin. Fewer monsters.

The focus here is on horn rabbits and slimes. I can't eat the slime, and the Horn Rabbit is a monster that escapes the Goblin.

I can't find any other monsters. There must have been several other monsters playing Fandergee. You should assume that Goblin hunted you.

"There are enough of them to eat up the seeds...

I think we should hurry.

Goblin shadows can be seen everywhere as you continue through the dark green forest and say that it is still the outer layer. I want to gather more information than a crusade now.

Go to the middle with great care to avoid making noise. When the leaves of the trees began to turn gray, they reached a place like that.

"Is that it...."

I don't know where Lucas and the others came from, but there's a place where the Goblins are gathered. There are no trees, it's a little open, and there's a foul smell of manure around it. A few goblins appeared from behind as I waited to see what was going on while wearing the disgusting smell.

There are about thirty goblins in this location, and they only have weapons such as wood sticks, while a few of them show up with weapons such as knives and swords. Some individuals are wearing part of their armor.

"... you're coming out of the back.

They circled around, heading toward the Goblins with their weapons.

"There it is. Goblin's nest.

The nest is made from surrounding trees, grass, and branches.

It looks like a bird's nest, but it has a large ball shape.

"One, two, three... all ten. Ten of them should be in one nest, so there's almost a hundred of them... I'll start to see them on this scale. We need to leave before they find us.

Quiet away from the scene.

"Will it be all right if I get here? Still, it was more than I expected...

And... we still need to fight for once.

A small group of four goblins that you can see a little further. He has clubs and sharp stones in his hand. It's no wonder they're on the outside at all times. Let's reduce it a little.

The back is completely removed. All you have to do is slash it.

I feel my heart pulsing faster than usual.

Sweat seeps into my palm even though it's not hot, and I'm trembling slightly.

I'm thirsty in the back of my throat, and my nasty feelings cover my throat.

Meditate your eyes, inhale through your nose, and slowly exhale air from your small, open mouth into your lungs.

"Nh!!

Draw out the sword and hit the rear goblin from behind.

Slowly advancing blades of the straight sword fall from the right shoulder mouth of the goblin to the left flank. I'm less resistant than I thought.

"Gah!!

The chopped goblin makes a short voice and the remaining three react. When the second one was slashed, even though it was an aggressive event, the three were already facing this way.

Hold the truncated sword with a stick.

"Uhhhh!!

Gah!

I thought I might be prevented by a club, but I was worried about it.

Cut the stick in half, and cut it from the trunk of the goblin to the face.

A lot of blood comes back and the smell of blood irritates your nose.

Gurgh!

Goga!

The remaining two will attack simultaneously to pinch in. The danger is higher with a pointy stone than with a stick.

Deal with Goblins with sharp stones as a priority.

Boom!

Hey, hey!

A straight sword cuts off the hand with a sharp stone.

The Lost Goblin takes a step back. A razor blade hits the throat.

Zann!

"Gh... ghh..."

Goblins with their throats cut open fall on their backs.

Don't!

You can hear a dull sound coming from inside your body.

Your vision is shaking and your left shoulder hurts.

"Nh!!

The last one put a stick on my left shoulder as I turned around.

"Gah?!

"Haaa!

A blow from the upper stage. The blade coming from the top of the head opens the body of the goblin vertically. Blood comes out and falls all over your body.

Shit...

All four goblins are dead. I won't move anymore.

"... fuu...

If it wasn't enough, it might have been a little longer... "

As far as Goblin's reaction was concerned, I was imagining it. He had a pretty surprising reaction to ripping the club apart and not getting hit or twitched.

"The pain... isn't stronger than I thought... is it because of the defense, or is it like this in the first place...

Either way, we found a problem.

The right ear, a proven part of defeating the goblin, is cut off with a knife while thinking.

"Because of fear and tension, I can't be like a game. I wonder if I could just understand that.

However, even if you can't see it because you have a sense, you can recognize it to some extent. Nevertheless, it's better not to create blind spots...

I understood that I was talking to myself not because I was thinking as before, but to calm down my trembling limbs...

"... when you say you can do something about it... pathetic..."

I smile bitterly at my trembling hands.

I was just scared.

The battle itself, if the Goblin hit the head instead of the left shoulder. Or if I hadn't defeated you with a single blow...

It was only because Fanderge was a first-person game that I was able to fight to a certain extent. In a world of pain, sensation and smell, I felt painfully that I still needed experience to fight like I did in the game.

"But it's not like I can't fight... it's not like I can defeat...

The burning sensation that still remained on the left shoulder after being struck did tell it.

"Let's go back once... before that.

Draw a magical formation with your fingertips. The finished magic team is light and light blue.

When light is emitted, water overflows from its center and envelops its body.

The blood of the goblin that was stuck in my body dissolved in water and was clean and refreshing.

"Now..."

If you draw a different magical formation, it will now glow pale green and blow away the moisture that has arrived in your clothes and body.

"Perfect! Magic is handy after all.
