Chapter 32: Irregularity of the Subjugation Request
The area where goblins and kobolds start appearing is a 30 minute walk southwest from the town of Volton.
「Isn’t a 30 minute walk to where goblins and kobolds appear too close?」
「Takumi-sama, goblins are G ranked. It is said that if you see 1, there are 100.」
「Goblins are the enemy of women.」
Oh, the goblins in this world are in compliance with light novels. I did think that Sophia might have been an elf-with-uncharacteristically-huge-breasts character though.
We trained Presence Detection, Magic Perception, Enemy Search, and Stealth while searching for goblins and kobolds.
「Shh, Takumi-sama, I’ve found some goblins.」
Sophia pointed at 4 goblins ahead.
They have ugly faces and green bodies, are short in stature; They carried clubs and rusty swords.
「These are probably goblin scouts. They might have formed a mid-sized colony.」Geett the latest novels on
「That’s terrible, Sophia-san, we must notify the guild.」
「Calm down Maria, we first need to confirm it.」
Sophia’s conjecture made Maria panic, but we decided to confirm whether or not there is a colony.
「Then, I will kill the two on the right. I will leave the two on the left to Takumi-sama and Maria.」
「Got it.」
「I, I’ll do my best.」
On Sophia’s signal, we started running.
The three of us were holding the spears I made. In the end, I used wood that I bought for the handle, but the girls liked and accepted them.
「「Gyagyagya」」
We paid no mind to the goblins noticing us, and stabbed them with the spear in a flash.
「Gyaaaaaa!!」
I killed the goblin with one thrust to its throat.
I hurriedly checked on Sophia and Maria. Maria easily stabbed the goblin, laying it to rest with her spear. Sophia took down the 2 goblins with minimal effort.
「Good job.」
「That was too easy for both Takumi-sama and Maria. Let’s keep this pace up.」
「Yes, I’ll try my best.」
The right ears of the goblins were cut off with a knife as proof of subjugation, and the magic stones were dug out from around their heart. I then immediately disposed of the remnants of the corpses by burying them with Earth magic.
After that, we who were advancing through the meadows to the forest as we hunted for goblins, found and defeated a small pack of kobolds along the way.
We were proceeding smoothly, fighting goblins using swords and spears.
I couldn’t see a glimpse of Sophia’s true abilities with just goblins. Maria and I receive Sophia’s advice as we steadily kill goblins
At noon, we ate some of the largely stocked lunch prepared by Golden Wheat Pavilion that I was keeping in the Item Box.
「Hey Sophia, are goblins something this frequently encountered?」
「No, I believe the frequency of our encounters is clearly very high.」
Before we arrived here, we fought with a considerable number of goblins. Kaede alone took out a little over 10 of them.
Kaede uses paralysis poison and toxic poison. Furthermore, it leaps to behead goblins with its tough threads that were further strengthened. Because these tough threads are hard to see, the goblins’ heads fly off and they die without them understanding what happened to them.
「The colony might have a general class within them.」
