Chapter 272: Goblin Village Conquest (1)

I didn’t pay attention to what happened that night. But from what Prune and Nine told me, they said my harem was set in stone. Like.. hello? It’s not my harem, it’s Liliath’s. I have nothing to do with Rin er.. well, it’s not like I could just give her the cold shoulder er..

Okay. I have no excuses. I don’t know what to do with Rin. She’s beautiful, intelligently dumb, obedient, suffers from a noticeable inferiority complex and is a demon lord. 

Let’s put the issue of ‘family’ aside. It’s not like I can push Liliath to throw Rin away.. why do I feel like I’m talking in terms of Rin being a pet? That’s quite rude of me isn’t it?

Anyways, regarding the situation the two heroes got themselves into, Aoki and Takata will have to face the consequences themselves. Nine didn’t want to get involved. Though, they should be about to handle it.

As for the Regressor.. I’ll leave it to Laura. Hopefully I didn’t cause too big of a rift in their relationship. He’s seriously stuck on revenge.

Onto the fourth issue.

“This is a cheat.”
“Who’s stats are we adding on top of ours again?” 

“I think it’s Bleu’s.”

As we dragged our stinking feet across the forest floor, we experimented with the Unique Skill [United As Thyself] so that we know how to deal with Javiel when the time comes. What’s confusing is that the moment we pasted this skill into our status board.. all our status breaks 999999999.

I feel like it’s a reference to something.. or someone. I can’t quite put my finger on it. It’s all Nine(s).

“If say we remove it.. yeah. It returns back to normal.”

“So we just need to delete that Unique skill from his status board and we’re good.”

“Yeah. We’ll do it remotely. Just in case he's able to travel at warp speed before we can react.”

“Goblin nest.. this way.”

“Yeah.. we’re going to see brutal stuff aren’t we?” I sighed.

Today, Nine and I have chosen to take on a rescue mission. If you’ve read enough mangas or light novels, you’d know where this is going.

Of course, one may ask.. why the hell did the guild allow a two-person F-rank party to take on this quest all by themselves? To answer that question, it’s important to ask the two lunatics who decided to save the victims regardless of whether or not we get the rewards.

There will be issues when we bring them back later.. but think of it as both mental training and critical thinking.

The victim has been missing for a day or two.. maybe. Hopefully she’s not broken.. I don’t know.

“You’ll take responsibility if she falls for someone,” I told Nine.. cuz he’s the one who recommended this.

“No,” he– I mean, the he that turned into a she replied in a cute puffy voice– you bitch.

Spring was coming. You could see blue leaves fading into a white colour as it melts into the sparse snow. New green leaves were growing from the shoots. Some leaves didn’t fall, but just turned green, like that large one leaf there that is one-half blue, one-half green.

“This sword is losing its sharpness,” I took out the iron– or was it stainless steel?– sword from the scabbard and examined the edges.

“Do you want to use the Azure sword then? I can use that one if you want?”

“It’s alright.”

“Oh look, a rock bird.”

Or a flying dodo. Whatever you want to call it. Physics don’t work in this world.
“You want to kill it?”

“With a rock.”

She picked up a pebble and..

Pew.

The rock blew up its head. It fell to the ground, creating a bloody mess. 

“Great. To the butcher it goes.”

“I wonder how much we could earn from this..” Nine took it into the inventory.

We learned recently that we could sell what we procured to a meat house, rather than the guild. We earn more from it since there’s no intermediary, plus, the butcher gets to work with the freshest meat. 

The two wolf carcasses last time, remember that? We were thinking of selling it to the guild when.. we saw sausages hanging behind a glass window. And that was the beginning of how we met Gillon the Butcher. It’s convenient that in the inventory, time doesn’t flow. An absolute cheat.

Right. And also. I managed to sneak a few slices of cake from Teleportation Tron 900. Most of it had been eaten up the past few days though. I feel like Bleu is purposely turning a blind eye to my antics but.. whatever. Let’s just hope Unknown doesn't come dropping in, telling us that he intends to charge for all the food we’ve eaten. That’ll become straight up carnage.

“It’s another few hundred meters.”

“It’s a medium village.. but I don’t really get what medium means. It’s fairly small from the map though.”

“Should we rush it? The victims are in trouble aren’t they? We should probably take this more seriously.”
“Right.”
Right.. as the creator of this world, I have some.. responsibility for the well-being of the people here.

Ah fuck. I should just stop replaying those words in my head. I’m causing people to suffer so what? It’s not like I can really do anything about it either. What I can do is choose. And I choose not to take responsibility for this.

I pulled up my UI and activated a level 5 concealment barrier. Level 7 is the highest, Level 1 is the lowest. I finally had the spare time with Liliath to come up with this system.

‘Goblin village, inbound.’

‘Roger that.’

I can’t believe we’re still fooling around. Whatever.

So to put the scene into words.. it’s like seeing a bunch of wooden sticks, tied together with a lot of strings to create a wall. And 4 walls and a thatched roof made of large dead leaves come together to form small wood huts. 

The wood huts were really crude, the walls were uneven, some bent out of shape..

There were also dirt huts that were dug. Small ones, with wood reinforcing the entrance. All of which has a bad design which.. does nothing to protect against the rain if it rained. Especially the dirt hut.. where’s the drainage system? Wouldn’t the inside be flooded?

Surrounding this village of around 10 huts or so were pikes stuck to the ground.

There were green and blue goblins making rounds. They couldn’t see us of course. But I’m wondering how the concealment barrier masks the trace of our smell. Does it just cause it to vaporize into fresh air? If it had such property, it would make a great replacement for toilet water. Magic is so illogical.

In the centre of it all was a larger hut which was twice the size of the others. Mind you, the huts were small AF. It’s like 4 square meters each. The larger one maybe 16 square meters. I’m sure it’s smaller.

‘Two girls. And a goblin leader.’

‘Yep. I’ll tinker the status.’

Nine and I moved in.. or let’s just say we casually stroll into the goblin’s nest. It’s a one-way mirror where we can see them but they can’t see us– becoming this ‘sneaky’ kid-cartoon montage where we were trying to maneuver our way past these randomly roaming goblins.

GiGiGi.

KiKi!

Two of them were having a duel, a small crowd of goblins gathering. And in one of the open huts, you could see herbs and dry meat dangling on a rope. A goblin sitting underneath it while crushing a concoction in a mortar. Oh, they know how to make poison it seems.

As for the goblin’s laundry.. eh yeah. We did our best to avoid coming close.

It’s interesting to see goblins go about their daily life actually. I just didn’t like how disgusting the village smelled.

Now then. There’s like no goblins around the largest hut and.. I don’t know what I should really say about the creaking sound except– please hold on a little longer..

Oh wait. We already set the goblin leader’s SPD stat to zero point infinity right? So even if it was doing ‘that’, it should be as slow as a snail.. no. As slow as an amoeba.

“Do we just bust in?” Nine asked in a whipher.

“We could. But it doesn't seem like they have a lock on the door though.. can’t we just open it and say hello?”

“True. Then let’s go with that. You set a concealment barrier around the hut.”

“Ryoukai,” I said in the most Japanese accent I could muster.

I tinkled with my UI, activated a concealment barrier; dome version and watched Nine push the door open. 

Ah! We caught it doing the act!

This shouldn’t be a joke material should it now? 

Sigh..

Well. The goblin leader looks like a shaman of sorts. Can’t imagine what it would be like if it was a goblin lord or some buffed goblin. 

In the dump smelly room, Nine took out her Azure sword and drove it into the neck of the goblin from behind.

Dead. Okay, good job.

I helped pull the goblin away from the girl.. I wanted to say ‘wasted’ but it sounded impolite so I’ll just not describe the sheer ridiculousness of what nine and I saw. Dragging the goblin to the wall, I laid it there to die… it's actually already dead.

“I’ll take this one, you take the other,” Nine poured some medication we bought from the shop on their wounds.

You know.. the amputation of limbs kind of wound? Yeah.. not a fun sight.

“Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. “

“Yeah, calm down. We’ll get you out of here,” Nine said and held her in a piggy back position.

As for the other girl..

I don’t know how long she was here but her condition is worse than the other girl. 

“Nine, just in case, we should consider buying some magic abortion medicine,” I hadn’t checked the shop for an item like that, but I have a hunch it exists.

“Roger that, I’ll go first. Remember to up the concealment level.”
“Got it..”
I poured the healing medicine (potion) over the girl’s wounds. 

Fortunately.. yeah, fortunately she still had one arm and one leg intact. But um.. the fingers are another issue altogether. 

I think if she was given some really potent healing, she could regain the function of her other arm.

I carried her in a princess-carry.

Her shivering pupils looked my way.

“You’re safe now.”

I went out of the hut together with the girl.
