The battle in the goblin settlement gradually subsides.
　However, given the number of goblins, the battle cannot end immediately.
　However, the annihilation war that started from the edge of the village narrows the scope of the battle by narrowing the circle of siege.
　Then, naturally, it will be difficult for the goblins to escape from the village, and if they are killed by adventurers, the bodies will roll to the ground.
　...the water wolf will eat the body of such a goblin.
　The shrinking siege sent the waterwolves to post-treatment of the goblins' bodies, saying that they had become bigger than Seto, and that they would interfere with the fight.
　As the battle is a one-sided trampling, there is no need to borrow the help of a water wolf.
　If so, it would have been judged that if the water wolf had the goblin's body post-treated, it would have ended the destruction of the village quickly.

"Wow... One!"

　A water wolf eating a goblin's corpse swings his paw quickly when he suddenly sees a goblin popping out from underneath it.

"Gyeom!"

　The water wolf's front legs are naturally made up of water, but the blow from the front legs is extremely powerful.
　The goblin is blown away by a blow, hit its head on the trunk of a nearby tree, and then die after breaking its neck.
　The adventurers are killing goblins politely, but perhaps because of the large number of goblins, some individuals hide under the bodies of their companions like today's goblins.
　The adventurers would not miss such goblins, but given the number of goblins in this village, they simply can't afford it.
　In fact, not so many, but somehow managed to hide without being killed by adventurers, and the goblins who took action before the water wolf came were able to escape from the settlement.
　Whether the goblins who escaped from the settlement could continue to live in the forest of Trent was another story.

"Hey, how much did you clean up?"
"Not so many yet. ... d*mn it!"

　The adventurer who was spoken to during the battle says so with real vexation.
　The adventurer has a strong hatred of goblins, having used naked women to look at meat shields with his own eyes.
　The adventurer I asked didn't see the meat shield, so I didn't know why he hated goblins so much.
　I didn't know, but I can still predict that the goblins have done something.

"I don't know what happened, but I'll defeat the goblins first."
"...oh."

　They exchange short words and kill goblins one after another.
　After all, the enemy is only a goblin.
　He was an adventurer, checking for goblins, and watching his companions, but he didn't seem particularly injured.
　There is no one else who seems to have been injured, either been injured or injured.
　Still, mental fatigue overlaps as long as you don't know where the goblins are hiding.
　The short stature of the goblins was also a reason why they were difficult to find because they were easy to hide somewhere.

"Slurp!"

　In such a situation, it is Seto who is able to find the goblin accurately.
　A high sense of smell allows goblins to be easily spotted wherever they are hidden.
　Then they find goblins one after another and kill them with a single blow of Seto... or when there is a goblin in a gap where Seto cannot enter, they call in adventurers and Ray nearby to attack them.
　And as time went by, the circle surrounding the goblin settlement became smaller...

"Gyo-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!

　Screaming, the goblin is pierced through its torso by a twilight spear and dies.

"This is the last one... but where are the top and rare species?"

　the central part of a goblin village
　Now Ray has defeated the last of the goblins in the village.
　I knocked it down, but... it was a normal goblin, rather than a superior or rare species, although it was somewhat larger than the rest.
　Then the question is where are the top and rare species that should have been in this village?
　It would have been impossible for a normal goblin to have formed such a village, commanded a large number of goblins... maybe even a thousand, and had the intelligence to use the women who brought them for breeding as meat shields.

"Did anyone see a higher or rare goblin?"

　Ray asked the adventurers around him, but all he could say was negation.
　He looks at Zozo, who was nearby, wondering if Lizardman was there, but Zozo shakes his head like the adventurers.

(Then the water wolf?)

　The water wolf was working with Ray, but it wasn't under Ray's command.
　Therefore, even if waterwolves were eating to death the superior or rare species of goblins, nothing could be said.

"Wolf!"

　At Ray's call, the wolf, who had swallowed the body of the goblin that had fallen on the ground, looked up and approached him.
　Because of its size, some adventurers are surprised, but most are not particularly surprised to see such waterwolves.

"Wow?"

　a water wolf crying "What's the matter?"
　...the blood of a goblin attached to his mouth is a little surprising to those who see it.

"Wasn't there a goblin that you ate different from other goblins?"
"Wow... One."

　The water wolf showed some thought, but then shook his head.
　Ray doesn't know how far to take the word.
　However, considering the intelligence of waterwolves, it is not likely that they do not remember the goblins they ate.
　Given the appearance of a wolf, I could not deny the possibility that he might not remember the goblins he ate by prioritizing his appetite.

"I see. ... I got it. Then please dispose of the body of the goblin."
"Woo!"

　The water wolf goes to eat the goblin's corpse again, shouting "I'd love to!"

"But... I don't understand that you're so happy to eat goblin meat."

　One of the adventurers who was by Ray's side muttered deeply.
　Many others agreed to the muttering.
　Ray was also in favor of the idea.

"They come from a different world, and the taste itself is different from ours."
"But you were happy to eat the grilled fish that we prepared this morning."

　a somewhat discontented adventurer
　It would be boring to think that your grilled fish tasted the same as goblin meat.

"No, I don't think you need to worry that much. The oak I did last night looked happy. Maybe it's not that the taste is different... well, isn't it that the range of tastes is wide?"
"...envious, pathetic, subtle feeling."

　The taste buds that make goblins taste good are both envious and pitiful.
　Ray nods to the adventurer who says so.
　In fact, when asked if Ray wanted a taste that he would like to have after eating goblins, he couldn't nod, albeit very much.
　In that sense, I could only thank the Zepail family for preparing a proper sense of taste for my body.

"Anyway, if the water wolf doesn't know... it's troublesome. If you hide, you'll be able to find Seto and waterwolves, but that's not the case. In that case, it means I ran away."
"No, but... can you escape in that situation? You were surrounding this village?"

　We can't afford to overlook the superior and rare species of goblins.
　Ray nods to the adventurer who tells him like that.

I think so too. I think... but it's not always possible, is it? Especially in this village, there are a lot of places to hide."

　Trees are being cut down, but only to a certain extent.
　Other than that, it's made of trees and grass, but there are also some of the goblins' residences.
　The act of digging a hole was more than a goblin could do, so there were many places to hide.
　Of course, if you know there's a goblin there... or if it's a smaller place, it'll be easy to find even if you're hiding.However, if a village of this size is to reduce the siege by defeating the goblins, it is possible that even higher or rare species will not be found.

(Well, I still don't think I can manage it that easily.)

　After all, adventurers and lizardmen are very good.

'Mr. Ray, now that you've let it go, shouldn't you think about what to do?'

　Ray nods to the text on Zozo's tablet.
　It's true that there's not much point in thinking about how you escaped here.
　Above all, it was probably the higher or rare species that thought of and implemented meat shields using women.
　And since Ray was where the meat shield was used, it is likely that there were higher or rare species nearby.
　If that happens, it is highly likely that the adventurers who were there, including Ray, made the mistake this time will happen.

(Yes, for the time being, should we not pursue that matter any more?)

　I don't know if that's really the case, so Ray decides to force his way forward.

"The problem is that if a high-ranking or rare species fled the village, there is a possibility that it will be established somewhere else."
"Well, it would be quite troublesome if we were attacked by the goblins again. Finding a settlement... well, maybe we can manage it with Ray and Seto."

　At the adventurer's words, Ray wonders if so.

"The guy who led this village is pretty smart. Then, do you think you'll cut down the first tree that's going to come this time again? ... Well, it'll be difficult to make such a village in the Trent Forest without cutting down the trees."

　As for Ray, there was a prediction that he would not repeat the same mistake even if he created a new village, as long as there was a Seto on our side who could fly in this case.
　That's why we expect that if we try to create a new goblin community again, we'll make it harder to find.

"The best thing to do is to recognize that there are people like us in this forest of Trent, and to get out of the forest of Trent... do you think it'll be difficult?"
"I don't know. If you have such a village and you are so smart that you can't find it and run away from it, I think you might think it's dangerous here."

　The adventurer with the spear in his hand replies to Ray's words.
　In fact, if you're intelligent, you wouldn't think of creating a similar community where the other person destroyed it.
　...it's the best thing Ray can do. I do, but...

"It's OK to go out of the Trent Forest, but it's not funny to be treated as if it's bothering you elsewhere."

　There is no doubt that it would be troublesome for a poor and intelligent individual to be created elsewhere in the same way.
　It hurts that I came up with something like a meat shield in particular, and that it was known to be effective.

"Anyway, we've already knocked down the goblins, so can we go back? Ray can't stay here forever, can he?"
"But... here's the cause."

　At a call from a nearby adventurer, Ray looks back at the water wolf eating the goblin's corpse.
　Ray remained in the camp today because the water wolf saw Ray as the only negotiating partner.
　Had it not been for the case of the water wolf, I would have attacked the hideout of the organization, which was aiming for my life, towards the slums of Gilm.

"What?"

　The water wolf, enjoying the taste of the goblin, looks up and sees if he hears Ray's words.
　To such a water wolf, Ray shakes his head and tells him to just eat the goblin.

"In any case, it is undoubtedly better to inform Mr. Dusker of this. If we leave it as it is, there will be a lot of problems."

　Everyone nodded to Ray's words... I was surprised that the water wolf had eaten up all the bodies of the goblins.
