93 Episode XI: Confronting Goblins

The next day off, me and Bell just decided to take a crusade request.

I kept the request as the one to crusade ten goblins.

Goblins are strong when they flock, but the hell they're weak, so they'd be great opponents for Bell's combat training.

If there's a lot of them, you can let Bell fight after I make a mistake.

And I'm currently searching with Bell for goblins in the woods designated in the request.

"According to the request, I think there's a goblin around here. You don't know when you're coming out, so you shouldn't be distracted, okay?

"Okay. Be vigilant...... Ah, there's a goblin nearby"

"Hmm? What do you mean?

I can't see anything from looking over, though?

"I could tell by the smell. Because goblins smell strong."

Oh, you mean that.

Speaking of which, Bell was a beast tribe.

You're more sensitive to smell than people, aren't you?

"That's awesome. Thanks to Bell, it's going to save us a lot of time looking."

You don't seem to have Dr. Anna's turn today.

"Thank you. But you don't know when you're far away, so don't count on it so much, okay?

"No, no, thank you enough just to know if you're close."

Just so you know if you're close, you won't be able to get surprised.

"So, do you want to go take down the goblins? I'll figure it out first, so hide behind me."

"Okay. Uh... the... are you sure you're okay?

"Hmm? What?

What's the matter with you suddenly losing your energy?

Could it be, anxiety?

"Of course, I don't think there's any way Master Leo would struggle with a demon to the extent of goblins, but I..."

Are you anxious after all?

Well, this is my first fight, and I'm naturally anxious.

"It's okay, 'cause you can definitely take it down one-on-one"

I promise you that.

Because it's really not a big deal to have a single goblin.

Bell can afford to beat three at the same time.

"Ok...... but please help me as soon as something happens, right?

"Don't worry, I'll help you. Don't worry, Belle. Just focus on the goblins."

"Ok...... I'll try my best"

"Yeah. Then follow me from behind because I'll reduce the number of goblins"

That being said and going into the back of the woods, a few goblins came out as soon as possible.

The numbers are... five.

Don't worry about that many.

"Well, one bell, then?

"Wow, I get it"

Even though I replied, Bell's expression was stiff and I could see he was nervous.

Speaking of which, when Bell gets nervous, he gets a knack.

Are you all right?

Well, you can handle it.

"All right, go."

That's what I said, pushing Bell's back gently.

Then, with the momentum pushed, Bell came before the goblins.

The goblins were rejoicing in the treat that appeared in front of them and sounding happy.

Well, I wonder what happens.

SIDE: Belle

"Huh? Master Leo?

Currently, I was very confused when Master Leo pushed me to come out in front of the goblins.

Looking back, there is no Master Leo who should have been there just now...

Instead of being defeated, the goblins in front of me are approaching me with a creepy voice...

"Dear Leo! Dear Leo! Please respond!

I scream desperately...... Master Leo won't even reply......

Does that mean I can take it down on my own?

"Oh, I can't help it if this happens. If it's really dangerous, Leo will help you by hiding and watching, so I'm going to give up and fight you."

When this happens, we'll have to reopen it.

If anything happens, let's complain to Master Leo.

With that in mind, I used beast magic to make sharp nails in my hands and turned to the Goblins laughing disgustingly.

Then... you were surprised at me for suddenly showing a fighting attitude, the goblins, retreating a little, stopping the weird chirping, hurrying to get up and start staring at me.

"Huh? Why are you guys scared of me?

I asked the goblins who had done nothing but stare.

I... I just grew nails, didn't I?

"Maybe... not so strong?

The moment I squeaked, I felt my body solidified in the bee due to the tension I had just had.

"Maybe I can go now"

I set my aim on one of the goblins who didn't do anything but stare and went to poke my nails with all my might using unattributed magic.

The result was...... my nails were piercing my goblin breasts beautifully.

Goblins targeted by me approached. I don't know if you didn't notice me, or if you did, but you couldn't defend me, but you were able to attack me beautifully.

"Gigi!?

From next door, I could hear the sound of a surprise easily understandable.

When I turned my gaze in the direction my voice spoke, one step, two steps and the goblins were retreating as they looked at me.

"It was. We still had four more."

Four bodies...... no matter how weak you say it is, I find it hard to fight me at the same time now......

"No, it's okay. She's gone."

When I heard such a voice...... all of a sudden, the goblins turned corpses and Master Leo with the Holy Sword appeared.

I am not relieved that the goblins were defeated by the sight that happened in front of me, nor am I glad that Master Leo showed up in front of me, but anger has engulfed me.

"Ah! Where were you hiding!? It's terrible to do that! I wish the goblins were weak... sorry if they were stronger than Leo thinks!?

Fighting goblins and being excited, I accidentally put my anger on Master Leo.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was watching you right around the corner, so forgive me."

Forgive me? What is that attitude?

"I won't forgive you! I was angry this time."

When I heard you wouldn't forgive me, Master Leo finally found out I was serious and angry, his face went blue.

And when I looked like I had made up my mind about something, I suddenly started acting like a mystery of getting to the ground with my knees and hands and lowering my head.

"Please, forgive me, I'll do anything. Please."

Even if they do that and apologize......

More now...

"Did you say anything?

"Yes, I will do anything for Master Bell, please forgive me"

Anything... Anything...

"Okay. So what if you're saying that no matter what wish I make to Master Leo, you'll definitely listen to me once?

"Yes. Nothing wrong with that."

Yay!! I love Master Leo!

Oh, you shouldn't, your face is laughing.

We still have to keep acting.

I tried my best to put it back on my faceless face so that whenever Master Leo looked up I could talk to Master Leo again.

"Then I forgive you for this one. Next time, never do this, right? I really hate Leo."

It's a lie. I'm the one who has trouble hating you.

There's no way I'm going to hate Master Leo.

I know Master Leo is sweet, so I just said it.

Dear Leo, I'm sorry.

"Wow, I get it. Never again in the future."

When I was apologizing in my heart, as usual, Master Leo swore to me that he would not, with his head pressed to the ground.

I don't know what ritual Master Leo is doing, but Master Leo will keep his word properly......

I'm a little too well, but I had a happy harvest, and maybe it's a good idea to be angry with Master Leo once in a while.

Please, what am I going to do?
