Chapter 77
I went back to the inn in order to report the situation of the Scab village. Eh?Oniichan, yobai1 this early morning? Seiji-sama, good morning. Good morning, Elena. Aya, its called yobai if its evening. Then, asa hai2?
Aya, theres no such thing. Ive found the Scab village thats why I returned quickly. N? Youve already found it?Youre so fast oniichan.
When she saidfastwith a stunned look, she seemed to be unsatisfied or something
Theres a horde of goblins gathered inside the Scab village. N? Goblins!?Why? Since I didnt investigate properly, I cant say it clearly yet. The goblins probably found the village uninhabited and settled in.
For some reason, Im interested about the current situation inside the Scab village.~
How many goblins in there? There should be around 100 or more. If were unlucky, there might be 200. That many!?Then, there might be a high rank goblin present. High rank?You mean, Goblin king? If the horde is around 200, I think theres a Goblin Prince nearby.
A Goblin prince, huh?
Uh.~Seiji-sama, I have a request. A request from Elena?How rare. What is it? The goblin subjugation, will you let me do it? Huh!?Elena!?
The Scab villages problem is Delaidos Kingdoms problem, if possible, I want to solve it with my power.
Somehow, Elena is unusually aggressive.
Oniichan, since Elena shows so much determination, lets cooperate. Oh, thats right. Seiji-sama, Aya-san, thank you very much.
Well then, we need it after all.
***
We went to Nippo town.
Seiji, theyre all finished. Hello, Gamudo-san.
Gamudo-san showed me the finished armor sets.
C-, Cool! Of course, I put all my skills to meet your expectations.
My cool armor is a half-armor with kote that covered the fingers up to the elbow and boots that covered my toes up to the shin. In addition, they are all light.3
How is it? Its light, right? It has a gem with weight reduction magic and defense reinforcement magic. That amazing!?
As for Ayas armor, its a breastplate with elbow and knee armor pieces. Its just right for Aya who focused on speed.
Isnt this armor somewhat erotic? Aya, you also need to wear normal clothes underneath the armor, right? Oh, yeah. For a moment there, I thought its a bikiniarmor.
Aya, things like bikiniarmor only exists in two-dimension.
Elenas armor is a shining pure white breastplate and boots.
Elena-jouchan, it has magic defense and a magic that repels arrows and the like. Thank you very much!
How is it? Do the three of you like them? Yes.
By the way, how much is todays equipment?.~ *smack* What are you saying!These are the compensation for the whiskey last time. Im not going to accept anything, even 1 Aurum in return for that.
I see, its shame.~Ive brought a whiskey again with so much effort What!?
I took out a whiskey and placed it on the table. Its not a luxury good like last time but its what I usually bought at the supermarket.
If you dont want to accept this whiskey then I wonder if I should just drink it?~ What I said earlier was a lie!I accept this whiskey!
Looking at the wistful face of ossan, its unpleasant.
Its a joke. Because I brought this with so much trouble as a souvenir. Ah, but, its not like the expensive liquorlast time so, please dont expect too much. Is that so? But, even so, its also a whiskey. Lets drink it quickly!
When Gamudo-san snatched the whiskey from me, he began to pour it into the glass I gave him last time and drunk it.
Kaaa!Splendid!Indeed, whiskey is the best!!
If some of the words are different, itll become dangerous line but lets leave it alone.4
Well then, were going to return. Oh, please come again. When you have a whiskey souvenir, youre welcome at anytime! Yes yes, Ill come again. Bye bye.Excuse us to have disturbed you.
We, dressed in our new armors made by Gamudo-san, headed to the Scab village.
***
Is this the Scab village? There really is a horde of goblins.~
We crouched down on top of a small hill, overlooking the Scab village.
Elena, do you really need to go? Wa, yeseven if Ill likely die, Ill do my best! You dont need to exhaust yourself that much. Because, well also help. Un. Thank you.
But, if Elena is going to be our main attacker, we need to think of a proper strategy. Strategy?
No matter how you look at it, fighting all of them at the same time with that number is too reckless. But, how are we going to go about it?
In this case, divide and conquer is the basic. Beating the kakko?5
This fellow Aya doesnt seem to understand. orz
First, Aya will lure out the goblins. Oh, I understand now!Im going to pull the mobs. Yeah.
Then, Elena will finish them off using AOE skills? If theres a large number of enemies, she has to use AOE skills but if its otherwise small, it might be better to use magic rod. What is an AOE skill? Its a magic with a wide scope offensive. With Elenas channeling spellsCloudburstandSnowfallwhich takes away body temperature, they are easy prey. Can you do it? Yes, Ill try.
After deciding the strategy, we began to implement the operation goblin subjugation.
