Beramus returned to the village.

　Open the village gate and enter.

　By the way, the only way to open the gate is to say a password in goblin language.

　Just whisper it at the gate so the golem can hear you, so there's little danger of the outside world finding out.
　If you forget the password, you'll be locked out, so Bellamus reminded them not to forget it.

　There were two gates, one to the north and one to the south of the village, and each had a different password. This time, he would pass through the south gate.

　Once inside, he entered the village.

'Vellums! I'm back!
'Just in time! I'm going to come to the meeting place for a minute!

　That's what the goblins said as they hurriedly spoke.
　By the way, the assembly hall is where the whole village gathers to talk and feast.

(What happened?)

　Looking very flustered, Bellamus had a bad feeling about this.

　He put down the things he had bought and hurried to the meeting place.

　And once inside.

This is .......

　Inside, three wounded humans, tied together with strings, sat looking at the goblins with a hostile expression on their faces .

　One man and two women .
　Each was equipped with armor.

　The humans looked at the incoming vellums.

Hey, kid! It's a human child, too!
'Do the goblins here capture children too! I can't allow this!

　And so on.
　It's a human language, so the goblins don't seem to understand it.

"Ah! Vellums! He's back.
I've come home to the right place.

　Aretha and the chief came to me.

"What is going on here?

　Vellums is having a hard time wrapping his head around the unexpected scene.
　You'll have to ask Aretha to explain.

No, it's ...... vellum, you look so cute in that outfit.

　Aretha looked at Vellum's saggy robe and commented.

'I don't care what I look like. I don't care what I look like. What are these three people?
"No, it's a long story. ...... First of all, I'm not going to start with the fact that this village was attacked. ......
Attack? These people? Were you okay?
No.... No... It wasn't these ninjas who attacked us. And no one was hurt. This happened yesterday afternoon. ......

　Aretha began to tell me what happened.



　Fat.



　The day after noon the day after Bellamus headed into town.

　Aretha and Delarosa had just finished their lunch when it happened.

"Vellums not back yet, no?
You're not here yet. He said he might not be home for ten days.
A............

　With Bellamus gone, Delarosa looks quite lonely.
　She doesn't want to show it, but Aretha is pretty bothered by it too.

　Are you sure it was a good idea to let her go alone? What if he doesn't come back? I couldn't understand it when I talked to him, but he was five years old and still so tiny, and I couldn't help but have all sorts of anxious thoughts about it.

　This is the first time he's been gone for a day since he arrived, so it's understandable that you're worried.

　It's just that something happens that makes you forget about it for a while.

"Oh, my God!

　There's a goblin in the village screaming.
　What is it? So Aretha and Delarosa go outside to check it out.

　The other goblins are coming out as well.

Oh my god! Everyone come to the north gate!
What's going on?
There are a lot of kobolds out there!

　Kobold.
　It's a hybrid of wolf and man.
　It moves fast and has high attack power.
　They're intelligent and dangerous demons.

　There are forty of them at the north gate.

　I'll call the chief and we'll head to the north gate.

　Then climb the top of the wall to see what's going on outside.



　There's definitely a lot of kobolds out there.
　They're shouting something loud.

Chief. Do you understand what they're saying, chief?
I don't understand a word that Kobold says.
Yes. What's he going to say when he's very angry?

　All of a sudden the kobolds were ranting and raving, and they were very angry.

　Then they took a stone and threw it at the goblins on the gate.

"Ugh!

　Kobold has a strong shoulder.
　The stones fly fast. The goblins manage to avoid them.

Hey! What do we do?
We'll have to get rid of him! I'm going to use the magic Vellums taught me to get rid of him!

　When you try to get rid of them with magic.

'Mahou! This is where I come in!

　Delarosa said and climbed to the top of the wall.

'Delarosa! You're not safe, so go downstairs to .......
Rock blast!

　Without even hearing Aretha's voice to stop him, he shoots his magic at Kobold.
　The rock blast hits Kobold. Kobold falls backwards.

Gotcha! Bingo! I'm still going, yo!

　Delarosa said and fired a volley of magic.
　Firing a barrage of magic is quite an advanced skill, but Delarosa seemed to be somehow mastering it.

　There are a lot of magic shots, a lot of allies are down, and Kobold and the others are quite frightened.

''That Delarosa guy's as good as ever.
"I can't lose! Hey! Water cannon!

　Inspired by Delarosa's success, the other young goblins start using their magic all at once.

　Kobold and the other goblins are falling all over the place.

　Clearly not expecting such a fierce attack, the kobolds have lost all will to fight and are running for cover.

Run for it, Tanner!
That was easy.
That was a pretty scary monster, Koboldotte.
I can't get rid of him that easily.
Are we getting too strong?

　The goblins realized how strong they had become.

Hey, neeee, you dropped something.

　Delarosa said, pointing outside the gate.

　There are three large bags down there.

　They must have been left behind when Kobold escaped.
　I'll go outside to check and get them.

　And when I looked inside.

This is .......
Ningen!
