Chapter 105 Oberon, the Goblin’s King

“King you say???? How unexpected, aren’t you the highest person then. Is that really true?”

On the top of floating Kasasagi, Ernesti is glaring at the person who called himself the king with a suspicious look. But without flinching to his gaze, the king burst into loud laughter.

“Haha! My, my, you are not convinced even though I just introducing myself, how thoughtful of you!”

What kind of amusing thing did he thought, all he do was laughing for a while now. Moreover, he doesn’t seem care about his attitude which is one of the reasons why Eru doesn’t believe in him. But rather, he was deepened his smile with his self-confident attitude.

“However, your kind of doubt is correct and doesn’t have any meaning at all. Sure, I am the only one King, everybody else are just the ones who lead the Mystical Knight?”

By waving his arm, the Mystical Knight that he rides on the hand was responding with a low growl. But that proof alone is not enough to determine whether it is true or not. However for now, Eru decided to lay it aside. What’s more important right now is to talk about ‘that’.

“Fine. Then, what is the reason for the King himself has come to this far? Accepting that we’re able to talk, you should have been able to send someone instead of you, right?”

“That’s way too boring. Since I’ve worked my hard to meet you”

With that, Oberon scoffed all the doubts at once and he gave instructions again by his hand. The Mystical Beast slowly crouched down and lowers him to the ground.

“Well then, follow me guest! The ones who I wanted to talk is you, you don’t need that giant over there, right?”

After said that, Oberon came to the village without care. Leaving the Mystical Knight and went alone. Even though the ones around him are the Kaellous Clan’s member which also can be said not his allies either, moreover Eru is still on the top of Kasasagi. Given by that situation, Eru could attack him at every moment but he didn’t seem to care about it at all.

Then, as he walked for a while, he tries to look at his surrounding and look up at Kasasagi in dissatisfaction.

“Hm, what’s wrong with these villagers? Even though I came here by myself, why is no one come to greet me?”

“I told them to get away since you have come here”

Along with the rumbling noise of the propulsion device, Kasasagi began to move. After arriving at the center of the village, Eru stepped off from the machine.

“Oh, color me surprised. Even though the King has come, I didn’t expect for them to run away! You sure do some tricky thing, aren’t you?”

While he is laughing off again, Oberon meets with Eru who had come to him. Welcoming him by deliberately spread the arms and showing no ill intend.

“You sure have a quick hand even though you have a lovely face. No, was it because you’re pretty? Kuhahahaha????”

Then Oberon twisted the edge of his mouth, and walks up to the nearby house. Even though the house was made by the titan, he, without hesitation kick the door and enter without permission.

Eru is heaved a small sigh while oddly raised his brows.

“????Parl, could you call Addy for me. And just in the case, please protect the villagers”

“Mu, understood. Do not let your eyes lose the cautions, Magister. He is the enemy right?”

“Indeed. But I can’t say it for sure right now”

Leaving the sound of footsteps of the young Sorceress who starts running, Eru follows Oberon and enters the hut. Inside the house, there is no much thing in there. But in the middle of it, Oberon is leaning back proudly in a roughly made chair.

“Once again, nice to have you here guest. Although there’s nothing in here, go make yourself at home!”

“Say that again. The village has been destroyed. And whose fault do you think that is?”

While sits on his opposite, Eru stares at him with glaring eyes.

In the first place, for them who is the King’s subordinate challenge him in the village should not have to be happened.

However, in response of Eru’s question, Oberon was rather showing pleased condition.

“Haha” he shrugs off. “My, my, how kind of you. It seems your perspective is pretty biased. We are here in the land of that Rubel Clan’s rule, there should be not another giant’s place. The ones who have ignored that is surely you guys first. Well, I’m pretty sure disputing this on a guest is meaningless. At any rate, that was not the main subject anyway”

By one clap, he separates the conversation and leans forward without hesitation.

“I don’t care about that trivial thing, ahh yes, that was truly trivial. Let us talk more interesting topics, won’t you my fellow brethren. The story about ours past and present between yours”

“I see, you made a point. I’m also interested about that topic too”

By cutting the space between the hastily made table. Eru is tightening his expression while Oberon laughed thinly, yet both his eyes are sharp enough to not let the opponent losing its caution.

“Kuhkukuhaha. This is amusing, truly entertaining. Just like the guest I expected. I didn’t even think I am able to meet them while I can still move”

“What do you mean by that?”

“I was able to meet the fellow brethren in a far land. To be honest, I felt so vexed seeing those villagers meets with you for the first time. That’s why I had to come here by myself!”

I wonder if the ‘King’ was genuinely able to come here for such a trivial reason. That kind of thought runs out from Eru’s mind but after seeing his attitude face to face, it doesn’t seem like a lie. That can be said, Oberon is in an excited state to that extent.

In Oberon perspective, he was directly capturing Eru figure, from the head to his tiptoes as if he is burning it within those eyes. To Eru who receives that kind of gaze, steepened his expression.

“It seems our garments are quite different. How was it? Our clothing has many kinds of beast’s materials but it is quite something, isn’t?”

Said Oberon after showing his opened arms. Just like he said, it is a costume that used a lot of beast’s materials. The thick part which mainly made of leather is most likely closer to an armor than a garment. It is also attached with an ornament by using the colorful part of the beast.

“Generally speaking, there is not many people who dressed like that. Or rather, it does like a knight attire”

“Hohou, Knight right! Certainly, I can say a Knight is our origin!”

The King seems convinced on his own and nodded pleasantly. Then raises his head like he has thought on something.

“Now that you mention it, I hear you was a knight commander, wasn’t you? That is even more hard to believe. You don’t look like suited in fighting at all”

“Humph. Maybe you’re right but you have already seen it right, as the one who can move that. Or you still want to doubt that too?”

“Certainly. Moreover, someone who have come to this land and even tricking the giants. I can’t let my guard down at all!”

While the King chuckling on the edge of his throat, his sight caught on Eru’s figure. In response of that gaze, Eru glared back at him while he was felt a bit creeped by his opponent.

“Don’t say it like that, I didn’t trick them at all. They are moved by their own will, and their will is line up with mine, that’s all”

“Hmm. So, I take it your interest is match up with those Kaellous Clan. That’s sound rough”

Despite of his words, the King doesn’t really mean it not the least bit.

“You???you are under Rubel Clan’s protection, aren’t you? If so, you might think it is not be desirable for you. At least, to you who have attacked them”

“Though I’ve said it earlier. Well, in short, we were under circumstances must to do that. That’s all. Our intention has nothing to do with it”

The King doesn’t seem annoyed. And it seems, he really doesn’t really care from the bottom of his heart.

Meanwhile, Eru thinks deeply for a moment.

“You and those Rubel Clan. Nevermind, the story about your relationship????with the giant, it seems I need to know from the beginning”

“Hmm”

“The beginning of those who are called as the goblin. I’m sure you’re aware of it don’t you, goblin King?”

“Let’s see. I might know more than anyone else”

While Oberon waiting for Eru’s respond, he continues to smile thinly.

“Then, tell me. The reason of those ‘brethren’ word of yours”

“As expected from someone in knight commander position, it seems you are knowledgeable about many things. Then, you already realize the answer, didn’t you? Come on, tell me about it”

“You guys are???most likely, the survivors of those who were once called Bocuse Expeditionary Force”

A deep and intense smile broaden Oberon’s face. Immediately after that, he kicked the chair, stood up, stretched out his arms and shout.

“Congratulations, you’re right! Wonderful, truly wonderful my fellow brethren!! Yes, that’s right, we are the separated descendant which lost in the past!”

“I hear the Bocuse Expeditionary Force was annihilated by the mighty demonic beast in the forest. Given that situation, why you were able to come to this deep???no, that’s wrong. Were you perhaps strayed away from the others or you have successfully run away?”

“You’re correct again! Once those who called the Bocuse Expeditionary Force in the past was destroyed by an unfortunate encounter. However, not all of their lives have run out in truth!”

His speech continues with excitement along with unnecessary gesture.

“Was it by sheer luck, but either way most of those fools have made the wrong escape. Kuhkukuh” he gave a little chuckle and continued his phrase. “Fortunately, the Bocuse Expeditionary Force whose suppressed the attack has survived however. Then, in the end of their lost’s journey, they meet the giant for the first time”

On that moment, he sighed deeply and finally calmed down his excitement.

“I still couldn’t grasp my parent feeling back then. At the end of various discussion, we have changed our name into goblin, and served the giant. Those who know this truth were already gone, and I made the right choice to met you directly after all!”

“Was it necessary to conceal the truth? In fact, the people in the village had no idea of their forefather at all”

“Indeed, because even if they know, none of it will help them in the end! In a worst-case scenario, it might flame the conflict between the giant”

“If you went that far, why did you tell me all of this?”

“How could I hide from someone who know everything? Unlike those villagers, your presence is way much bigger too”

Eru slightly narrowed his eyes.

“From the way of your stories, then the origin of those Mystical Knight was a deformed Silhouette Knight, right?”

“In order to deal with the enormous giant, we need a certain amount of power to match with them. One of it was the power of Silhouette Knight but you know about it too, right? That power requires a lot of materials”

After the King leaning on the back of the chair, he closes his eyes as if he was remembering something.

“For us who had always run of our lives, we have a difficulty maintain that. Along with the time, we had to replace the skeleton with demonic beast’s material. Eventually, it has transformed into a beast???which was beyond our limit”

As he slowly opens his eyes and directly looked at Eru.

“We’re groping for a way return. We were searching for a way, ended with a dead end???then, a ship that flies in the sky appeared. Now it’s my turn to ask. You are the person who originally come to this land from that ‘flying ship’. I am wrong?”

“No, you are correct. Our ship encountered the Stained Beast, we fought them, and we were left behind”

Oberon who have heard Eru’s answer excitedly leaned forward as never before. Even now, he is snapped like he was going to grab Eru.

“Oh! Your Silhouette Knight is also flying! Although it has a strange appearance, so you already have a skill to make the knight fly, right!? Can you use it to cross this forest!?”

“Assuming you can do that, you’d like to use it and go to the west?”

“Do you even need to ask that? The west land, the land of our origin. If we could, we will set it as our goal with our current technology but, I won’t hope that much”

“More than hundred years already passed between our and the goblins. At this point, there’s too late???”

The King violently shook his head.

“That kind of degree! Will be over in the blink of an eye. I’m already tired and enough of this. Rather than becoming one to the great path of the nothingness! I will set sail myself to that place”

In the determined face of his, he cried.

“And that key would be you. We were also thought of the only way to get back. Do you want to know, how is the outcome?”

“No thanks. But well, the goblin which is the long absence fellow countrymen that separated in the forest????I’m not sure if I can take you along with me”

When Eru lost in his train of thought, Oberon stood up from his chair, walks to the house’s entrance and turns his back.

“We have much time to think over that. First of all, I will invite you to our capital. Ah, yes, I don’t mind if you go along with those giants”

“With Kaellous Clan? But they have hostile relations with Rubel Clan”

On that very moment, the smile has disappeared from Oberon’s face. He changed into serious-like expression and said.

“That was rather what we need. With you, and those giant, we will work together as one. And strike down the Rubel Clan”
