CH 6

“Aaaahhhhh~!”

I pulled out the blade, aimed at the goblin's chest, and frantically stabbed it repeatedly.

When I repeated that same action a few times, the goblin disappeared after leaving a magic stone on the ground.

“Hahaha. I did it……I did it!”

Finally, I succeeded in defeating a goblin alone.

To be precise, this is the second time since I defeated a hobgoblin yesterday. 

However, there were other members yesterday, and it was only by luck that I miraculously defeated the hobgoblin.

But today was different. 

I was able to defeat it with the attacks, all of which were envisioned by me.

So, things like being unable to move after fighting a goblin don’t happen anymore.

And there is one more thing that has changed dramatically.

The incomes from the magic stones, which I got after defeating monsters solo, have dramatically increased.

Until now, I’d considered that 2,000 yen per goblin is quite good, but now I am earning 10,000 yen per goblin since I was defeating them alone.

However, that doesn’t apply to the elderly and sick people who can't move right away.

Just ahead of me, a goblin is attacking a grandpa who is clinging to a cane.

He seems to be still alive by resisting somehow, but I cannot delay even for a moment.

Even though I have a strong sense of justice, it doesn’t mean I have a volunteer spirit. 

But the purpose of a survivor is to exterminate monsters and prevent the damages caused by them; therefore, I have a sense of duty to some extent.

Before, I could do nothing but watch, but now I had the power to fight, so I jumped out without hesitation.

“Look here Goblin. Move from there! [Fireball]”

I deliberately provoked with a loud voice and attacked the goblin to draw its attention.

Thank you for saving someone like me who hasn’t left much time to live. 

I won’t be able to rest in peace if I get done in by the monster and die like that. 

You know, my life was shortened and I was already one foot in heaven.”

“Yes……. I am also glad that I arrived in time”

This might be a joke on the old man's part, but I had trouble responding to him because of his topic, which in itself was pretty sensitive.
