Chapter 3.2
She pulled out the twigs lodged in their skulls and patted off the blood and the brain matter on them.
It was a one-sided fight with no major issues.
Goblins were stupid and weak.
There was no unexpected situation, such as the goblins suddenly using magic or an unexplainable power that couldnt possibly be called upon by their weak muscles.
At this level, I can safely fight them head-on.
Far away, Jihye is obscured by the trees, but visible to me on the hill.
Three goblins are slowly walking this way.
Did they hear Jihye and the goblins fighting?
In fact, the reason I didnt reveal myself before the battle wasnt just because I believed in Jihye.
I wanted to get to know the goblins combat power completely.
My encounter with a goblin was just for a moment.
I did not know if I was able to escape last night simply because I was faster or because of the goblins mercy.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
And this observation confirmed that it was the former.
I should be grateful to Jihye.
In a way, it was like using her as my test subject... I feel no guilt at doing so, though.
Jihye!!
! Its Jihoo!!
The shirt stained with goblin blood contrasted by her bright smile combined to give off a unique charm.
A voice full of affection welcomes me.
I thought of something related to her as she responded with her delightful smile.
I know Jihye better than anyone in the world.
She would never miss me to this extent.

Kieeaaag!!!
The goblin grabbed the branch that pierced its body and went mad.
As it moved, blood splattered in every direction.
I smashed it in the neck with my wooden stick.
Kak... Agag, eugh, eugh...
Its limbs trembled as if its nerves hadnt been severed just yet.
So I hit it on the head hard.
And then the goblin drooped.
Haa... Haa... Ha.
My first battle in another world was a success.
Jihye touched my outstretched palm while also taking a deep breath.
What is this... Isnt it too fucking easy...?
The three goblins who were peacefully strolling through the forest were annihilated by our merciless surprise.
This.
There is something higher that manages the goblins.
It was information that naturally made us nervous.

We quenched our hunger with glucose candies and headed downstream along the river to look for a town that might not even exist.
While walking, I met a rabbit drinking water.
Is that a monster too?! It might suddenly jump up and kick out its back foot. Or maybe thousands of rabbits will swarm us and gnaw on us...!
I was very nervous, but the rabbit ran away as soon as it spotted us.
And on the way, we met another goblin.
This guy ran towards us like before.
I faced it head-on.
Using the thick bag as a shield, I braced my legs and waited.
In order to find out the goblins attack strategy, I was thinking of taking a calculated risk and receiving its attack once.
The goblin came right in front of me, swinging its arm wildly and hitting my bag.
It felt like a child throwing a tantrum.
The shock wave barely even reached my body.
I pushed the goblin over with my bag and then broke its leg by punching it in the thigh with a club.
Jihyes weapon then pierced the heart and took its life.
It was a clean kill.
Although I havent seen the status window pop up yet, since this could very well be a world where you get stronger every time you kill a monster, we agreed to kill each enemy alternately if possible.
...Its really weak...
Honestly, wouldnt fantasy dragons in this world be at the level of crocodiles then?
If that is to be the case, becoming a harem king wont be a far-fetched dream either.
How many hours have passed?
When it seemed that it would soon become evening, we found a village.
However, it was not a human settlement. Kiruru. Kiruk!
Kieak. Kir. Kiruk!
Eight goblins are gathered in the centre and are repeating some strange behaviour.
It feels like I am watching a very primitive religious ceremony.
What stands out more than that is the two people tied to the centre of the circle drawn by the goblins.
Eup, oops! Oops!
Black hair and a grey school uniform.
If my eyes arent deceiving me, those are definitely my classmates.
