Boy Omiros

　In the forest, lit by the moon. As much as possible, we walk together in a place that is not in the shadows.

'I'm sorry ...... I'm sorry ...... Omiros. If I hadn't said I wanted to go get flowers ....... Such ....... This kind of .......

　Rigena cries out.
　A flower that grows in the foothills of the Acheron Mountains has the power to cure diseases.
　Regena finds out about it and asks me to go get it for her sick mother, and we follow her home.
　We're lost in the woods. The sun has already set, and it's getting dark.

It's good, Regina. I'm not going to be able to say that it's a good idea. I'm sure it's nothing more than that.

　I comfort Regina with that.
　I'm also afraid of the dark streets at night. But I didn't want to show the uncool part in front of Regena.

"It's okay. I'm sure everyone will come looking for you. I'm sure we'll be able to get back!

　Regina nodded as she said this.

'Yes, if Omiros says so: ......'

　We start walking again.
　That's when I felt something following me from behind.

'Omiros...... something seems to be following us from behind. ......

　Lizena says anxiously, wondering if she felt it too.

'Yeah, I feel like that too ......'

　We are supposed to be walking with the Acheron Mountains at our backs. Our own country, Argoa, is the country closest to Nargol. There is no place for humans to live in the middle of the Acheron Mountains and the Kingdom of Argoa, which is the boundary between the two. I don't think it was a human who was following me. It could be a goblin.
　I've heard a lot about goblins from my mother. They are very frightening demons.
　I don't know what will happen if they are caught.

'Maybe it's a goblin: "Maybe it's a goblin." ......

　Regena says what I'm thinking right now.

'Li, Regena!　Let's sing!　Goblins aren't supposed to be good at singing!

　I've heard that from my mother. Goblins are not supposed to be good at beautiful singing. I don't know why, but I've heard that human singing is very unpleasant for goblins.

Do you sing ...... songs?
'Yes, yes!　Let's sing a song!　Rigena has a beautiful voice, and I'm sure the goblins won't be able to get close to her!

　I had heard Regina sing before. I remember it was so beautiful.

Yes. 'All right, Omiros. But what song do you sing?
'You sang in front of me once, didn't you? I like that song.

　I said and Regina nodded.

'Okay, I'll sing: .......
　In the Katasumi, deep in the forest.
　Black birds looking for love.
　Over the mountains in search of love
　I'm flying in blue skies.
　In the middle of a green forest.
　I saw a white bird.
　The Black Bird sings.
　The white bird doesn't sing.
　The black bird was crying.
　Flying into the red sunset.

　Regena sings even as she walks.
　Her beautiful voice echoes in the forest at night.
　I fall in love with the song. The trembling in my clasped hands is a little less. Singing seems to make me a little less scared.
　There's no longer any sign of him approaching from behind.
　I thought it looked like I could go home without a hitch.

'You have a beautiful voice, you ......'

　They call out to me from the darkness.
　I look into the darkness with Regina, who has stopped singing. There's someone there.

'Who was it?'

　He steps forward to protect Ligeena.
　Someone comes out of the darkness.

'Goblins......'

　It was a goblin that came out in the moonlight.
　They came out even though Ligeena was singing. Are some of the goblins not bad at singing?

I'm not a goblin. I'm a human being.

　The goblin says grimly.

'You're lying!　I've seen goblins before. Your face is a goblin!

　Indeed, the goblin in front of me was closer to a human than the goblin I saw before. However, its face was the same as that of a goblin. So maybe I should call it a goblin human.

''Ouch! You don't believe that? But oh well.

　The goblin-man then looks at Regina.

"The female here was singing, and her boys ran off. I had no choice but to leave.
Escape from the song? I knew it was a goblin!

　But the goblin humans shake their heads.

'My minions are goblins, but I am a human.

　The word surprises me. Goblins are supposed to be demons that attack humans. At least that's what I was taught.
　Can we make those goblins our servants?

If you're really human, help us!

　When I say this, the goblin human looks at me in surprise.

"Why would I help you?　I don't want a male.

　The goblin human's eyes turned on Regena.
　Its eyes appeared to glow suspiciously.

'Let's run, Regena!
Yeah!

　Sensing danger from this goblin human, I take Regena's hand and try to run.

''Don't let him!　Paralyze!

　But when the goblin human screams, his body goes dull and numb.
　Regena also kneels down as her body seems to have gone numb.

''Regena!
Sorry ...... Omiros ......

　Regena apologizes. I can manage to move myself, but it looks like Regena can't.

'Hm, you survived my magic.

　With that, the goblin human approaches.

'Stay away from Regena!

　I'll stand up to the goblin-man.

"Hmph!

　But since it's dark and I can't see my feet, the goblin human's foot sweeping knocks me to the side.

''Whoa!

　I collapse with a scream of my own.

'Omiros!'

　Rigena lets out a shrill cry and tries to get up.
　However, her body is numb and she almost falls down.

''Oops!!!''

　The goblin human grabs Regena's arm before Regena falls over.

'No ...... let me go, let me go ......'

　Ligena's tearful voice.

'Let go of Regena!

　He gets up and tries to challenge her, but this time she kicks him in the leg and knocks him down again.

'Guh!!!'

　The goblin human stomps on his own back with his foot as it is. The goblin human's hand remains on Regena's arm.

''Be quiet!

　When the goblin human says that, he puts his foot to work.

'Ugh. ......'

　I just let out a pitiful moan.

'Let's just stomp this out!

　The goblin-man is straining his legs. I can't breathe.

'Stop, don't do something terrible to Omiros: ......

　Rigena says, crying.

'Well. 'Well, if you say so, I will,'

　The goblin humans have stopped putting pressure on their legs. It makes it less painful. But put your feet on your back.
I couldn't move my body as it was enclosed.

'Hee......'

　Ligena's frightened voice. I manage to turn my face to the side and look up to see the goblin human holding Regena in his arms.

'You're a human female, aren't you?'

　As the goblin human said this, he touched Regena's face and smelled her.

'It's softer and smells better than a goblin female,'

　The goblin human's voice sounded excited. It was frustrating to watch and not be able to do anything about it.
　Rigena's face was frightened.

'Li, je ...... hana ......'

　I can't speak well, probably because my feet are on my back. I'm on the verge of tears.

'I've decided!　I'm going to make you my b*tc*!

　As he says this, the goblin human licks Ligena's face.

''Hi......hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.''

　Rigena let out an unvoiced scream.

'I spit on you. You're mine now. My name is Goz!　It's your male!

　The goblin human who called himself Goz laughs.

'I'll come for you when I'm older. Wait for me until then!

　As I say this, Goz disappears into the forest.
　He is left behind by a sobbing Regina and me, numb and unable to move.






Omiros, Prince of Argoa.

　I wake up in the morning light.
　It's a bad dream I had as a child. I see it every day these days.
　It's a bittersweet memory of not being able to protect Ljena.
　After that, we were rescued by a group of adults who came looking for us.
　Ever since that day. I've been working harder to become stronger.
　I wanted to protect Regina from all the other things that controlled Argoa.
　That's why I had left Argoa for a year to go on a warrior's journey.
　But when I came back, Regena was gone. I don't know what I was striving to be strong for.
　I got out of bed and changed and left the room.

'Good morning, Prince Omiros.

　As I left the room, I was approached. I turn around and see a girl there.

'Please don't be a prince, Liette: ......'

　I don't really like being called a prince. I don't want to be called by the title I earned for dropping Ligeena into the goblin den.

"What should I call you then?
Can't we just call it that: ......
Okay. Good morning, Brother Omiros.

　Liette is the younger sister of Macusis. Because her father was busy, she was raised by her parents, Macusis and Liette, who were five years younger than her, and she and her own brother, Macusis, grew up as brother and sister. Perhaps that's why she calls him her brother.

'Are you going to the mountains again?'

　Her eyes are a little cold.
　Macusis and Riette's father and mother were killed by King Cupius. So she doesn't seem to feel too good about going to find Regena.

'I can't go today ....... I'll be getting ready to attend a ball in the kingdom of Velos .......

　Myself and Parsis are supposed to attend a ball in the kingdom of Velos in five days, on behalf of my father, who has become king. I have to make preparations for that today.

Will you go except today?
......

　There was no answer to that question from Riette.

'I'm already dead. ......'
Riette!

　I exclaim.

'Brother Omiros says he's alive. How do you know that ......? If you're not a warrior and you go into a goblin den, you're not going to make it out alive: ......

　Originally, Riette was probably right.
　But then I remembered Goz. The goblin-like person who had that goblin under his command and said he was going to pick up Regina. How did he start having those dreams so often? That's because he thinks there's a chance that Regena is being held captive by Goz.
　That possibility is why they are going to the goblin den to find her.
　I haven't told anyone about that possibility. When I was a kid, most of the adults didn't believe me when I told them about Goz.
　Maybe Regena would have believed me if I told them about Goz, too, but Regena didn't say anything about it, not wanting to be reminded of it. Of course, I don't blame Regena for that. It was Regena who was the one who felt the most scared.
　The only person who believed me was Regena's mother. She was also kind to herself, the child of a clan with whom she was in conflict.
　She had given Regena a magical amulet of her own treasure, a magical amulet, to protect her in case of Goz's arrival.
　That Regena's mother died two years later, the year she met Goz.
　She was probably the only one who believed in Goz's existence now.
　But Riette and everyone else doesn't believe in Goz. From her point of view, what she's doing is very foolish.

'So if brother Omiros goes to the goblin den too many times, he'll die eventually. ...... I don't like it anymore, I don't want someone to die .......

　Riette says with a dark look on her face.

'I'm sorry, Liette: ......'

　Nodding Riette's head.
　She is kind and she is concerned for her own safety. And yet that didn't stop me from looking for her.

'It's okay, there's a hero Parsis. I'll make it out alive. ......

　Riette looks a little strange when she says this herself.

'What's wrong, Riette?'
'I know you're Mr. Parsis, but ....... I know I'm not supposed to say this because you saved our lives, but ....... I get a weird feeling sometimes, that man.
Is this weird?
Yeah ...... I can't really explain it, but it's weird. ......

　Riette has a keen sense of intuition. Did he notice something?

Speaking of which, where is Parsis now?
I don't know. I haven't seen him yet today.

　Riette answers with a shake of her head.
　Sometimes Parsis wanders off. He seems to be going somewhere today.
　Where did he go today when he had to get ready to go to Velos?



Goz, Prince of Goblins

　We passed through the filthy southern goblin settlements and reached the north side of Acheron.
　It had been a long time since I had returned to the Kingdom of Karon.
　Compared to the other goblin dens, it was still better, but it was still a goblin den.

'Tomare, human!　Who are you, Dagob?

　The goblins surround you.
　And out of the back come the goblins you know.

"I've seen you in a magical video, Goblin. You're a human goblin called Parsis or something like that. Why are you here?
Long time no see, General Kenneo.

　Ken'eo doesn't answer the question, but is surprised when he calls his own name.

'Why do you gobble your name?'
Even General Ken'eo doesn't seem to understand.

　Ken Eo is quite powerful among the goblins. However, he still doesn't seem to know what he really is.
　He will break his magic and show his true form. I didn't want to show him this form if possible. But if I don't show it, we won't be able to talk about it.

'Ah!　You are Go, Prince Goz, Goboo!

　Ken'eo and the goblins are surprised by the change in appearance. 'No wonder, the human hero Parsis was the son of their queen.

'Yes, he is. 'Yes, I'm Goz, General Ken'eo. It's been a long time. I would like to go to my mother's, would you please let me through?

　Then he bows his head.
　Ken Eo is my sister's husband. I can't do much disrespect. My sister is much stronger and more dangerous than me. It would be better to show Ken'eo some respect.
　Ken'eo thinks for a moment and replies.

'Wait a minute, please, Gov!　Hey, I'll check with Her Majesty, Gob.

　General Ken'eo said, and Ken'eo's men went to his mother and returned a moment later.

'Please come through, Gob.'

　After hearing Ken'eo's words, I walked down the corridor of Karon and proceeded to the Queen's Chamber.
　I walk through some huge gates and enter the Queen's room.
　I kneel down and bow to her. This mother has no mercy for rudeness, even to her own child. So I should be grateful to her.

'It's been a long time, mother.
Keep your head up, Goz.

　I raise my head as my mother gives me permission to do so. Then I see my mother, Queen Datier. My mother was as ugly as ever.
　She was herself the child born to a goblin queen and a human male.
　If you have a child of a different race, if you're a male you're born as your father's race, if you're a female you're born as your mother's race. So I'm human.
　A female goblin never leaves her den, as a rule. Only the males get out. That male rarely brings a human male for a female. Also, there's no way an ugly goblin female would ever be taken seriously by a human male. That's why human males usually don't grow out of goblin bellies. However, there is an exception to everything. That is me.
　Goblins can also bring in human males for their mother, the queen, who is the authority figure.
　My father died before I could remember, so I don't know what kind of guy he was. But I can imagine what he was like. I'm sure he was quite handsome, given his boring mother.
　And he must have been attacked by his mother forcibly. My mother's powerful aphrodisiac would give him an erection no matter what kind of ugly woman he was with. And he would be squeezed to death.
　She touches her own face. There is no mirror, but he looks ugly, just like his mother. Just as human males born of elves can be born with strong magical powers, they are born with a certain amount of the characteristics of one parent of a different race.
　Therefore, if a goblin is born of one parent, he or she will have the characteristics of a goblin, even though the race is different. So I have the face of an ugly goblin myself. My brother, who died soon after, had the same kind of face.
　Even if a goblin is a single parent, a goblin den is not a very good environment for humans to live in. Human children without physical strength seemed to die quickly.
　He was born with magical powers inherited from his mother, so he can manage to live. But his younger brother and the older brother who would have existed apparently did not inherit his magical power. I've heard that he was the only male born from his mother who was able to grow up properly. He must have died soon after.
　I look at my mother. She is probably the strongest goblin. Her magic power is said to rival that of the demon race.
　Even though it's far less than my mother's, I can still thank her for this magical power.

''If you haven't seen me lately, you can check out ....... I didn't think it was you who was Parsis. Looks like the magic of the one who reported you couldn't see through the magic.

　My mother says with a laugh.
　I didn't tell her that I was changing my appearance and going to the land of the humans because I wanted to disassociate myself from my mother. That's why we had a problem.

'Mother, ....... I was attacked by a silver-haired witch while I was becoming a Parsis. Wasn't that sent by your mother?

　My mother thinks for a moment when I ask.

'The Silver Haired Witch ....... Oh, I remember. It's the female next to that gallant Master Dihardt. It's a good thing I told Master Dihardt about the recent raids on their settlement in the south. I'd like to see Master Dihardt again. ......

　My mother says with an enthralled expression.
　Hearing my mother's words, I knew it. That silvery white witch was sent by my mother.
　I'm sure the person named Dihardt also sounded familiar. The name of the dark knight who defeated the fearsome hero. That beautiful silvery white witch must have been one of Dihardt's men.

"Mother," she said. I have no desire to disobey my mother. Nor do I want to defy His Majesty the Devil King. Could you please tell His Excellency Dihardt about it?

　They let me off the hook last time, but there's no guarantee we won't see each other again. I don't want to get killed then.

'All right. I'll inform your excellency of this. Is that the only reason you're here today?

　I did what I came here to do in the first place. But I had one more thing in mind.

One more thing. May I have your mother's aphrodisiac?
That drug?　What do you use it for?
In three days, in the human country of Velos, there's going to be a ball or something like that. I'd like to use it for a human female at that time.

　I say with a laugh. 'My mother's secret potion should work on females as well as males, and the ball in three days' time is going to be interesting.

'Hmmm, those pills. Oh, well, okay, let me give you some of them.
Thank you, mother.

　I thank him and leave the Queen's room.
　I walk down the aisle to my room. On the way, both female goblins use your eyes, but you kick them away.
　After holding the human female, I don't feel like holding the ugly goblin female.
　When I returned to the place that used to be my room in the Karon Kingdom, it hadn't changed much since I left.
　This room would be the only place in this Karon Kingdom where a human could live.
　It's not dark and gloomy like a normal goblin den, and although light from the outside comes in through the ceiling, it's built to keep the rain and wind out.
　A boy born to a mother who is the queen of goblins will be raised here.
　I was raised as a goblin prince, even though I am human.
　However, my mother has many children, so even though I am a prince, my power is not that strong. Still, because he is a prince, he hasn't been inconvenienced much in the Karon Kingdom.
　To humans, he has the ugly face of a goblin, but among goblins, I'm a handsome man, and I could hold a goblin female as much as I wanted.
　But I took it a little too far and was chastised by my mother. I was forgiven at the time, but from then on I made a mental note to refrain from doing so in the Kingdom of Karon.
　Instead, I did as I pleased in the goblin territory south of the Acheron Mountains, which was not in the Kingdom of Karon.
　Although the goblins in the south were not under my mother's control, they were afraid of her, the Queen of Karon, so they could act as they pleased because they had no enemies.
　However, the dens of the South's demented people smelled worse than Karon's, and the females were uglier and less interesting than Karon's.
　He decided to take some of the southern demented bastards under his wing and leave the Acheron Mountains and go to human territory.
　And that's when I led them and happened to pass near the human dwellings. I met Regena.
　I thought it was fate.
　I've seen human females from afar a few times. But this was the first time I'd ever wanted to use one so badly.
　So I spat at it.
　And I thought about how I could make Regina mine.
　I'd like to force her away, but human children are deadly, so it would be better to kidnap her when she's a certain age.
　So I decided to miss her right then and there and kidnap her with my strength.
　And I studied magic furiously.
　It was worth it, and after a few years, I was able to use powerful magic, even if it wasn't as powerful as my mother's.
　And he headed to Argoa to kidnap Regina.
　No matter how much power she had gained, it was dangerous to take on all the humans in Argoa. That's why we decided to infiltrate Argoa and look for opportunities.
　According to the place where I researched, Argoa should have been able to enter the country easily because it seems to admit as a warrior if you are strong.
　However, the first time I went to Argoa, I was rejected at the door.
　The reason is because he is too ugly.
　So I decided to infiltrate Argoa by changing my appearance with magic. This magic is a hallucinatory type of magic and should look attractive to those with weak magic power.
　I decided to call myself Parsis instead of a goblin-like name.
　There were no sorcerers among the humans in Algoa, and no one seemed to be able to spot their appearance.
　However, it's not so much that we can see through them, but there are people who feel uncomfortable about their appearance, so we can't be too careful.
　And as a freedom fighter, I've successfully infiltrated Argoa, and I'm looking for an opportunity to get close to Regena. However, it seems that Regina, the one she wanted to get close to, felt uncomfortable with my appearance, so I couldn't get too close.
　The old Regina shouldn't have felt high in magic, so what's the point? Has his magic power increased? Or are they using some magical tool to prevent their own magic from happening? At any rate, he couldn't get close to Regena.
　Thus, it was when he was fumbling to get close to Regena. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what happened.
　How that brave man had tried to get his hands on Regena without a second thought. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.
　I'm not going to be able to get my hands on it.
　She can't use charm magic, but she can use magic to make her personality more aggressive.
　She used that magic to make the young men of Argoa who were against the brave man into aggressive personalities, and then she made them attack the brave man.
　The angry heroes got into a fight with the warriors of Algoa.
　The result was that the Argoa warriors were defeated by the brave men one way or another and most of them were unable to fight. And after one rampage, the brave men left Argoa.
　But there was a problem there. Originally, Algoa had a domestic dispute, although it wasn't bloodshed, but there was a domestic dispute.
　And the warriors of Argoa, who became aggressive with my magic, began to fight.
　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I've decided to take advantage of this conflict.
　He further expanded the small conflict into an all-out war against the clan of Regena and the opposing clan.
　He sided with the clan that was in conflict with the outnumbered clan of Regena and fought against the clan of Regena.
　In the end, because he sided with them, the opposing clan won the war.
　And after executing Regena's father, the king, he led them to send her to the goblin den.
　If I helped him there and took him back to Karon, he would be able to take possession of Regena once and for all.
　But there was a problem. Before I could save her in the goblin den, someone had taken her.
　Whoever took her, we do not know. According to the men I put in place, someone on a dragon took her. Whatever the case, there was no doubt that they had missed out on Regena.
　Maybe I should have used other means to get Regena, but it was later.
　I was disappointed, but there was nothing I could do about it. Let's forget about Rižena for now.
　But instead, I'm going to hug other people's females until their identities are exposed.
　The next ball is going to be quite a big one.
　I was looking forward to it now.



Kuzig the Ogre Witch.

"Zeng ...... what a figure!

　I look at my youngest son, who is now just a bone.

'I didn't expect ...... this to happen. Who did this to you!

　My oldest son, Ring, says. He can't seem to contain his anger at the murder of his own brother.

'Mom!　Brother!　Oh my God, come here!

　My second son, Peogu, seems to have found something.
　I went and looked and found something written on the wall there.

'Apparently, whoever killed Zeng has gone north.

　He looks at the writing on the wall and says
　The sister of the brave man who killed Zeng has left a note there.
　It seems that the sisters of the brave men intend to go north from here. It's a good idea to come to the north if you have something to do.
　It may be a lie, but they claim to be the sister of that brave man, you'll find out soon enough if you look into it.
　I don't care if the man who killed my son is the sister of a brave man. I'll kill him.
　When my youngest son Zeng didn't show up for his birthday, I sent my eighth son Zyg to pick him up and he found Zeng in a state of disrepair. I used my magic and rushed over as a family to get him.

'Brother Ring, it's bad, come here!

　This time the fifth son, Kaig, seems to have found something.

'What is it this time!

　Ring and Pyog head towards Kaig.
　I remain where I am. Because now that the culprit is known, there is no need to search further.

''This is---!　That's the book I lent to Zeng.　They're gonna burn it all to the ground...!
My favorite painting of Ivaria is at ---- ！！！！
'Shit!　I didn't do this to you!　So that's all that's left!
'It's awful ....... I haven't even looked at it yet, but ----!!!!

　I can hear my boys screaming over there.
　We might be able to find some other signs of where they went, but now that we know who did this, we can't stay here forever.
　I think we should go after them.
　Fortunately, they seem to be headed north, to my neck of the woods. We'll be catching up with them soon enough.
　I'm heading for the fireplace where my sons will be present.

"Boys!　I'd better get going!　The brave sisters who killed Zeng will pay for it!

　I said, and my boys nodded.

'I know, Mom!
'Oh!　We'll get what we deserve for burning our precious treasure!
'Oh!　Let's burn them the same way!
'What are you going to do with my sorrow that I haven't seen yet!
"Ashes to ashes ...... ashes to ......
It's too hard not to be able to see that ......
My Mr. Ivaria is ----!
You'll never get that one again...
I will kill you!

　My sons talk about their anger. They all seem to be very angry that their brother was killed.
　Naturally, so am I.
　I am a descendant of an ogre clan that once served the sky giants who fought the gods of Elyos.
　The sky giants were defeated and disappeared, but I have the legacy they left behind.
　With the use of that legacy, even the sister of a brave man will not go away for free.

''Let's go, boys!　I'm the sister of a brave man, but I don't know what it is, but this family of ogre kuzigs will kill you for sure! Wash your head and wait for me!
