CH 6

With only a kilometer to go to the goblin’s nest, I checked with Mireina.

“The goal is the Flower of Symphonia, right? I believe that’s the request?”

“…… Yes. That’s my last request.”

“The last?”

“Yes. In fact, I’ve decided to abandon my career as an adventurer.”

Mireina smiled sadly and looked down.

I know it’s inappropriate, but that’s the kind of face that doesn’t suit her. She looks somewhat melancholic, like she’s sitting by the window looking out at the rain, looking lonely. ……… What am I thinking?

“Why again? I mean, what are adventurers?”

“Adventurers are the general term for people who explore the countless dungeons that exist in this world to obtain treasures and who undertake requests through the guilds that exist in towns and countries. Mireina-sama is a novice F-class adventurer.”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

Mireina took out two dog tags from her chest. They are brown in color and have letters engraved on them that I can’t read.

“I’ve been an adventurer for a month now, and I’ve found that …… it’s not for me. I’ve been an adventurer for a month now, and I’ve found out that I’m not cut out for it…… During a fight with a monster, I cowered and couldn’t move, and when I was asked to collect some simple medicinal herbs, the monsters ate them…… haha.”

“Oh, I see. ……”

It’s hard to comment. Should I be laughing here?

“So, I just wanted to make sure that this request for “Symphonia’s Flower” is a success. This request is from a six-year-old girl who lives in the Zenimouke Kingdom. She wants to send flowers to her mother to celebrate her birthday.”

“I see. …… You make me cry.”

“The reward was only 500 coins, and no one had ever touched this request. That’s why I wanted to make this one last request a success.”

“……I see.”

That’s a good one. Going out to get flowers for a child.

There is also something about the story that interests me, but I’ll let it pass for now.

“Prices and currencies are the same as in Japan. The unit of currency in this world is the coin. 1, 5, 10, 50, 10, 500 coins are coins, and 1,000, 5,000 and 10,000 are bills.”

“Thanks to for the thoughtful explanation.”

Tama, you need to read the atmosphere a little bit.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

“So what will you do when you’re no longer an adventurer?”

“…I don’t know yet. My parents’ house is quite far from here, and I came here as a runaway.”

“Hmm. Well then, can I ask you to show me around the Kingdom of Zenimouke?”

“What? …… You’re a courier, right, Kota-san? You don’t know about the commercial Kingdom of Zenimouke?”

“Oh, no. Hmmm. ……”

I don’t know what to say. I wonder if people will believe that I’m from another world.

I was able to fake it earlier, but it’s hard to be alone in a different world where there are so many things you don’t know. Besides, I can’t even read the characters on the dog tags I just saw.

I wondered if they would accept me as a friend if I gave them a proper explanation. Besides, I need money to live in this world and I need to work to survive.

All I have is this truck. And thanks to my cheat skills, I probably won’t die. If that’s the case, it’s not a bad idea to use this truck to start a shipping company.

My shipping company, which isn’t almost bankrupt.

Work hours at 9:00 a.m., a one-hour break, leaving at 5:00 p.m., and a two-day weekend system. Just thinking about it makes me excited. It’s not a bad idea to make a name for myself in this world.

In order to do so, I first need employees and an office. As a first step towards that, I’d really like to hire Mireina with her adorable body. ……… Okay, I’ve made up my mind.

“Mireina, actually …….”

I explained to her what had happened so far.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

“Another world……? And by dead, you mean ……?”

“Well, that’s the thing. I’m not from this world. There’s so much I don’t know. I don’t know what’s right and what’s wrong.”

“…… Umm.”

Well, I don’t expect her to believe me out of the blue. If I were in Japan and someone said, “I’m an adventurer from another world!” I’d call the police in a heartbeat

“…… I don’t know, but Kota-san is not a bad person. He helped me, and he’s helping me now. What’s more, I understand that this vehicle is technology I don’t know about.””

Mireina looks at me and smiles. She’s a good girl.

“I understand. If there’s anything I can do, I’ll help you.”

“Yeah! Thanks, Mireina, that’s very helpful.”

“I don’t know if I can help you, but I’m good at math and cooking. I studied a lot as a kid. ……”

“Oh, so I can leave the accounting stuff to you. Now we can start our company.”

“Master, starting the company is no problem, but we are about to arrive at the Goblin’s Nest. The Symphonia Flower is at the top of the cave where the goblin nest is located. We’ll head to the cave first, so please turn left in 30 meters.”

As Tama said, I turned left and after a short drive, the cave came into view.

“We have arrived. Growing at the top of the cave is the Symphonia Flower. The best way to collect it is to shoot the [Hookshot] and climb up the wire to the top.”

The area around the cave was open, but there was a vaguely eerie air about it.

“Oh, that’s the goblin’s nest. …… Well, let’s get this over with.”

“…… Yes. Kota-san.”

“All right, Tama, launch the [Hookshot].”

“Roger that. ［Hookshot] deployed.”

The hood opened and a wire with a harpoon tip shot out from it and hooked onto something over the top of the cave. Now the rest of the climb would have to be done manually.

“…… Okay, I’ll go.”

“I’ll go.”

“Huh?”

“This is my request. I have to do it.”

She has strong, determined eyes. How can I trample on the determination of such a girl? Surely, she would want to end up looking cool at least.

“All right. Be careful out there.”

“Yes!!”

I handed her a pair of gloves that I had left in the car and she began to climb slowly, her arms and legs wrapped around the wire.

This is a nest of goblins. I have always had a bad feeling about this.

“Warning. Multiple goblins detected at cave entrance, contact in 15 seconds.”　”I knew it. …… All right, deploy armaments! Use the machine gun to make them full of holes!”

“Roger that. Deploying [Machine gun]. I’ll fire in auto mode.”

“Heh heh heh, I got to try this thing out too.”

The more I get used to it, the more excited I get. I decided to give the Desert Eagle a try.

Then about ten goblins saw the truck and started screaming, some of them went back inside. I’m pretty sure they went to call their friends.

“Mireina! Don’t worry about what’s down there, just get up there!”

“Heh? …… What!?”

Mireina is flustered when she looks down. I mean, her skirt is so revealing that you can see her underwear. It’s a sight to behold.

Let’s put Mireina aside and get rid of the goblins!

“Tama, let’s take care of this.”

“Roger that. We’re going in guns blazing.

The sounds of machine guns that can only be heard in movies echoed, and in no time the goblins were all dead. I didn’t even get a chance to fire my gun.　 Then reinforcements arrived, and once again fell prey to the machine guns. There were several goblins inside that I had never seen before, but they were powerless in the face of the machine guns.

“Green Goblins, Fighter Goblins, Big Goblins, Goblin Ogre, and other higher species. But they are helpless in front of the machine gun, a modern weapon.”

“Ah, okay.”

Every time a goblin came out of the entrance, it became something similiar to a beehive.

I looked at the scene with my gun in my hand and felt like throwing up. The goblin’s flesh and meat were scattered all around me, making for a miserable sight. No matter how much of a monster they are, this is just a slaughter.

“The goblins in this area seem to have attacked travelers and adventurers, dragged them into caves, beat them up and then killed them when they got bored. There are countless human remains in the cave. It seems that the metal reaction is the equipment of captured people.”

“Okay, shoot them.”

My sympathy quickly wore off. It’s a world of the weak and the strong, where the strong live and the weak die.

“Dangerous monster alert. Goblin Demon.”

“What’s with the villain name? ……”

“He is the leader of the goblins in this area. He is the most powerful of all the goblin species.”

“Is it ……… dangerous?”

I’m a little nervous, so I ask cautiously.

Mireina was still climbing and we couldn’t move from here. I knew I would have to use the missiles if things went bad.

“No problem.”

A strong-looking goblin in a black robe was turned into pieces of flesh by the machine gun.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

“Kota-san! I found it!”

“Oh, I’m done here too!”

“Your level has increased.”

“Oh, wait a minute. Hold on a second. You can talk about it later.”

The black-robed goblin the demon died easily. I mean, the machine gun is the best. It’s a shame that my Desert Eagle never fired a shot. ……

“I’m gonna come down!”

“Mireina!?”

To my surprise, Mireina used her sword as a support and slid down the wire like a zipline. Damn it, I thought, this is going to be fun.

I quickly got out of the truck and stepped in front of the hood, catching Mireina in a hug as she came down.

“Oh, thank you…….”

“Uh…….”

Mmmm mundane. It smells good. This is the scent of an actual JK?

In addition, her breasts are squashed by her breastplate, which feels really good.

“Whoa, is that the Symphonia Flower?”

“Yes. Isn’t it beautiful?”

The Symphonia Flower is a beautiful pure white flower that looks like a lily. She pulled out a small flower pot from her luggage, replanted it with soil and watered it.

“Here, listen.”

“Oh……”

When Mireina shook the flowerpot, it made a sound like a bell.

“The Symphonia Flower is also known as the Bellflower, and when the wind blows, the flower sways and makes a musical bell sound.”

“Wow……, that’s beautiful.”

I cannot say enough about Mireina, smiling happily as she held the flowers in her arms.

The sound of the bells ringing as the wind blew made me forget for a moment the sight of goblin flesh flying all over the place.

“Now, let’s go.”

“”Yes. Let’s go to Zenimouke Kingdom.”

Me and Mireina got into the truck.

“Oh, you want the goblins to remain like that?”

“Yes. They’ll be used as food for the surrounding monsters. Also, there is precious metal in the cave. The goblins may have left behind some of the treasure they collected. If you’re planning to set up a shipping company, I suggest you get some of this as your opening capital.”

“…… Surely we need something to start with, don’t we? Are you sure, Mireina?”

“Absolutely.”

“Tama, can you drive the truck through the cave?

“Yes, Master.”

“Okay, let’s get going. Before we go, let’s check the equipment we’ve leveled up and upgrade it.”

Heh heh, we’ve killed a lot of them and now I’m going to get the room I’ve always wanted.
