Action to subdue the goblin settlement was immediately launched.
　For Zozo, as long as it was Ray's request, he had no choice not to accept it, and even the other lizardmen did not reject Ray's proposal as long as they basically liked fighting.
　...the only one who put Gaga on Ray subject to another mock battle.
　Rey, Seto, and most of the Lizardmen are half adventurers. ... And the water wolf.
　When Ray first explained that waterwolves were leaving the lake to go to a goblin settlement, some adventurers wondered if that was really all right.
　However, seeing a water wolf walking normally even if it is away from the lake makes me think that it is okay to walk away.
　Everyone seemed concerned about the water rope connecting the water wolf to the lake.

"Hey, Ray. Are you sure you're okay?"

　One of the adventurers asks Ray nervously.
　As long as Ray is calm like this, he'll probably be fine.
　Even so, it was only natural to have such worries when you look at the water rope.
　However, I don't think Ray will really be okay with this incident either.
　As for waterwolves, I brought them in because they showed that they were all right.
　To be honest, Ray didn't want to bring her if possible.
　However, it was a goblin with extremely bad and stinky meat for the Rays, but the meat seemed to be quite delicious for the water wolf, and they were going to go out with the Rays to get rid of the goblins.
　There may be other reasons than goblin meat, but at least from Ray's point of view, goblin meat seemed to be the biggest reason.

(When fishing, if you use food with a strong smell, it may be easy to catch fish, but can you do it with fish and waterwolves?)

　Looking at the waterwolves watching their surroundings a little further away, Ray thinks so.
　Also, if the water wolf just wants to eat the goblin meat, and it's useless as a force, I can object to coming with him as a Ray...

"Wow!"

　Suddenly, a water wolf runs into a bush a little far away.
　From the back of the bush came the roar.
　It's a goblin.
　Ray knew by a hint that the goblins were hiding in the bushes.
　No, not just Ray, but all the adventurers, and many of the Lizardmen, were aware of such a goblin.
　Even so, the reason why Ray and his colleagues didn't mess with the bush was because they understood that the goblin was frightened enough to see.
　That's why the Rays thought it was OK to leave the goblins alone.
　The goal this time was to reduce the number of goblins as much as possible, but it is because I really did not think that I could manage all goblins.
　Then, it is better to prioritize the annihilation of the goblins.
　That's what I was thinking. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
　That's how I charged into the bushes.

"Wow... you're really enjoying the goblin meat."

　One of the adventurers by Ray's side muttered, looking at the returning water wolf.
　As long as the body of the water wolf was made of water, it was only natural that the body was completely visible from the outside.
　In other words, the body of a goblin that now exists in the body of a water wolf looks normal.
　Such goblins are rapidly digested in water wolves.
　Not only adventurers, but also others, look surprised again at the water wolf squinting with satisfaction.
　I knew and saw that waterwolves liked goblins, but I still couldn't understand that they ate them deliciously, as I knew the taste of goblins.

"Here, leave the water wolf there. We're heading to the goblin village now, so it would be a disaster if we were full here."
"Woo!"

　The water wolf replies to Ray's words with a cry, but Ray doesn't know what the meaning of the cry is.
　However, as far as watching the water wolf, it seemed that there was no particular problem.

(Well, waterwolves aren't exactly our companions, you know. They're just acting together.)

　The reason why the water wolf is working with the Rays this time is to eat the goblins.
　If that's the case, Ray has no particular intention of doing anything about it if the water wolf wants to do so.
　This is a different story if waterwolves get in the way, but the waterwolves' actions are only to defeat the goblins, not to the detriment of the Rays.

"Well, let's go."

　After glancing at the water wolf, Ray tells everyone so.
　Many of the Lizardmen couldn't understand Ray's words, but they thought about Ray's situation and resumed walking.

"Ray, how far away is the goblin settlement?"
"Well... it would have been very close if I took the set, but when it comes to walking on the ground, I don't know. I think it'll take quite some time."

　The time difference that happens when you travel on a set can be quite big for Ray.
　This is probably the disadvantage of relying on Seto.

"Is it a long way off? ... It's a little boring to travel through the Trent Forest for a long time to knock down the goblins."

　Ray understands what the adventurer says.
　That thought is the same for Ray.
　However, it is true that we still have to do it.

"If you think of the goblins that attacked the camp, you know that we should destroy the goblins here?"
"I understand, but let me complain a little."

　Because he's a skilled adventurer, he rarely gets requests like getting rid of goblins.
　If it's a request to subdue a more powerful monster, it's often accepted.
　Others are also more or less dazed.
　Whether you're off guard, relaxed, or relaxed will be different.
　Ray has a stronger perception that it's easy.
　If you're here just becoming an adventurer, that's a different story.
　But here we are all adventurers trusted by the guild.
　If that were the case, I could have done something about the goblin settlement.
　Keep walking for a few hours.
　A few times along the way, waterwolves have knocked down the goblins and eaten them, but of course the Rays don't want to eat them.
　So I thought it was about time for lunch, and when Ray finished lunch with the food he had taken out of Mystery, he started walking again.
　And...

"Finally arrived?"

　Arriving, we can see the goblin settlement, but it's still pretty small.
　Still, the fact that you can't find a place to go changes your motivation a lot.

(I mean, the goblins who attacked the camp often traveled this distance, even though we were quite far away... if the attack had been successful, they would have had a hard time bringing back food or something.)

　If they attacked for food or something, there was no doubt that it would be difficult to bring it back to the settlement.
　Already, goblins are smaller than humans.
　Compared to Ray, who is shorter than the average in the world, he is even smaller than Ray.
　Also, because Ray is a body created by the technology of the Zepail family, he has muscle strength that is unthinkable to his appearance, whereas goblins are weak.
　It would be difficult to carry food, weapons, and anything else that might have been quite a long way off the camp, even if the Rays were to walk.

(Are you intelligent enough to think about bringing food and supplies to the goblins in the first place? No, it might be a different story if there were any higher or rare species, but it seems that no higher or rare species attacked the camp.)

　If that's the case, Ray thinks he probably didn't plan to attack the camp, but was searching for something in the forest of Trent, and accidentally found it and attacked it.
　When Ray and Seto actually took Anastasia and Fana to the underground space where Whispers were, they encountered a lot of goblins.
　If that's the case, it's not strange for the goblins to stumble upon the camp.

"Ray? What's wrong?"
"No, I didn't think it would take me this long to walk to the goblin village. Then I thought the goblin who attacked the camp would not have attacked it, but it would have happened to find it."
"Oh, I see. That's probably true. But first of all, it's the annihilation of this village. I think there are quite a few goblins out of it, as we've encountered. But there's nothing we can do about it."Another adventurer nods in agreement to the adventurer's words.

"Well, if you really want to destroy it, you should come at night."
"But it doesn't taste good in many ways. Well, I wish I could allow you to come this far at night."

　In Ray's case, if it comes to the crunch, he can ride Seto and do anything.
　However, as long as the rest of us can't get on the seto, we have no choice but to walk around... or to get on the seto basket.

(Huh? Wouldn't you have attacked here at night with a set basket?)

　I still think about it, but I think it is necessary to guard the Tower of Birth better at night than at day, so I speak again.

"In any case, it's impossible to destroy the goblins, so you just have to destroy the village. Then the goblins will no longer have a place to gather, and each will act differently."

　Everyone who was listening to Ray nods.
　...the water wolf nodded as if he understood the word.
　For a water wolf, it would be fine if he could eat goblins.

(Come to think of it, the water rope... is still safe.)

　Thinking like that while looking at the water wolf nodding.
　This water rope should have connected to the lake that had transitioned near the Tower of Birth.
　Even if you're a long way from the lake, there's no sign of tearing or thinning at all.
　It's not strange to be entangled in trees, bitten or scratched by monsters or animals by the time you get this far.

(It's a water rope that connects the wolf to the lake, and it probably has some special effect.)

　Half-forced into convincing himself, Ray opens his mouth to everyone waiting for instructions.

"Then, for the time being, scatter the village in a siege."

　Normally, this kind of vague instruction is not liked very much.
　However, everyone here was above a certain level of ability, and a few goblins were easily defeated.
　Therefore, it was possible to annihilate the goblin community without any problems even if appropriate instructions were given.
　Of course, it would have been a different story if I made a terrible mistake.

(Why am I giving instructions in the first place?)

　I didn't think so, but Ray was the one who found the goblin settlement and proposed to destroy it. He is also the strongest person in the camp and the crimson nickname that spreads throughout the surrounding countries.
　It was natural for a knight to nominate Ray as the head of the company.
　However, considering Ray's age, it is also true that he is still young.
　a few years after Ray came to Gilm.
　Many people know that I haven't grown at all.
　However, I am convinced that there may be some special circumstances in this world where there are various subhuman beings.
　Above all, Ray has grown up as a disciple of a person who calls magic magic, so it is possible to predict that there will be more circumstances.
　The fact that there are so many adventurers on the frontier is probably related to that.

"Well, he's a goblin. Let's get rid of it and go back to the camp. If you're late, you'll be late for dinner."

　At Ray's joking words, everyone... that's what makes the Lizardmen smile when Zozo gives them a translation.
