The street that I expected to reach the village ─ ─ and the worst sights were spreading.
Destruction sounds everywhere and screams from somewhere. There were also burning private houses, and there were people everywhere who fell and stopped moving.
"Terrible....."
Cunei leaked a trembling voice with her hand against her mouth. Though somewhat prepared, her reaction would have been natural if she had actually seen the tragic scene.
But now is not the time to speak kindly.
"Cunei, let's go!
"─ ─!? Yes, yes!!
When I pulled my spear out of my sheath, I ran into the village with Cunei.
Gram, lead the hostiles!
Aiya! For now, three goblins from the shadow of that building!
As I was advised, an evil beast like a dwarf appeared immediately ─ ─ Goblin. I'm almost naked and I'm wrapped around my waist. A sword with a spilled blade is held in my hand.
After checking on us, the Goblins tried to put up the weapon they had, but my swinging spear ripped off the Goblin's body before it did.
This time from the other side!
I tried to intercept the more attacking goblins, pointing to the tip of the spear, but the goblins screamed and fell earlier. A knife was sticking out between his eyebrows.
Turning towards Cunei, she stood dressed as if she had thrown a knife.
I told you, I can't keep my feet and hands together.
The voice was trembling, but there were angry feelings stronger than fear. I suppose my fear of being a doctor outweighed my fear.
Gram, any survivors around here?
Nobody's alive.
That means all the people who fall within sight are breathing out. Unexpectedly, my hand held the spear.
I don't know if I'm lucky in my misfortune, but there aren't enough bodies in a village this size. Probably not long after the raid. "
Does that mean there are still survivors?
Ah, there are still people alive in the middle of the village. But the Goblins are gathering in the middle. That's where the frontrunners were. "
All right. We need to get to the middle of the village first.
"Cunei, we're heading to the heart of the village. Maybe a lot of the living people are there. I'm sorry."
"... yeah, I know."
Though I knew I was going to treat a fallen human, Cunei answered with remorse.
"I can't feel the energy from anyone but us here....."
Well, she's a succubus. I suppose that sensitivity meant there were no survivors nearby.
"Let's go, Yukina-kun. Help as many people as you can for those who couldn't."
"Oh, you're right."
Cunei was a stronger woman than I expected. To avoid wasting her strong resolve, we ran away again.
On the way to the center of the village, I encounter Goblins every once in a while, but fortunately there are only a few of them attacking at once. He shook his spear at the encounter and slaughtered it, so that Cunei used his knife to aim for the emergency and take it down.
Thanks to this, I was able to get to the heart of the village without any hassle.
An old church is built in the middle of a slightly open space. Mikage slashed the swarm of goblins one after the other in front of the door. A significant amount of Goblin remains were already scattered around.
Are the survivors in the church? There's a lot of goblins between here and Mikage, but I didn't have time to get lost.
"Cut it out, Cunei!
Got it!
I broke into the Goblin enclosure with Cunei.
"Weight Added (Enchant)!!
The weight of the Black Spear (grams) increases significantly according to my chanting. Control the weight by force and force it away. All the goblins within reach of the spear were caught in an overweight spear and blown away.
"It's still coming!!
Blows a visible goblin from one end and pushes it forward. The Goblins are still upset by the assault from behind. Through that gap, we broke through the enclosure and succeeded in joining Mikage.
The Goblins have warned me of a new appearance, or will not attack me. In the meantime, we exchange words.
"Mikage, are you okay?
"This is fine. The villagers who survived are among them. When I got here, the door was about to break."
It seemed certain that I had her ahead of me. If we were a little late, we would have had more casualties by now.
Mikage pointed his neck towards the goblin and said to Kunai.
"Cunei, please enter the church and treat the wounded. Some of them are fighting for a moment."
"Okay.... both of you, be careful."
After applying healing magic to me and Mikage, Cunei knocks on the door of the church and calls himself a doctor. The door was slightly opened and the villagers inside invited him in as soon as they saw Qunai.
After seeing it, Mikage and I look again at the Goblin enclosure.
"If Yukina-sama hadn't acted quickly, the villagers would have all been killed. I just feel ashamed of my immaturity when I underestimate my opponent is a goblin."
"The regret around here is enough to destroy the evil beast in front of you. Think only of living people now!
I scolded the slightly lowered mica. The mikage who received it stared at the evil beast in front of her as if it were a stomach.
Come on, buddy, there's still more coming! This is the real deal!
Gram is right, straw and goblins have gathered from all over the road that leads to this place. The nest near the village seems to be larger than expected.
─ ─ This is going to take a while.
I regained my temper and intercepted the goblin that attacked me with a loud scream.
