'Satsuki, relax.'

'Mmm...... this, like this?'

'Yes. Accept what comes into your body, don't reject it... wait, why are you blushing?

'Huh, ......? No, I mean, ......, the way William said that was kind of erotic.

Just before the hall where the goblin lords are.


I chanted a spell, and the magical light from the tip of my wand penetrated into Satsuki's body.
The effect of the spell I had used was on the girl, who stood rigidly in a cautionary posture.

I'm not sure what to do.

Satsuki asks me, holding my hand and opening it.

'It's a secret. Just fight as if there were no magic.'

'Haha ......, you're not doing any erotic magic or anything, are you?'

'...... So what's that? I'm not sure why you would need to use such a thing before a battle.

You're right. I don't even know what I'm saying.

I'm not sure what I'm saying.' Satsuki's face turned red and she laughed.
...... I wonder if this girl is really okay.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it.

Incidentally, what I just used on Satsuki is a spell called a force field.
It is a spell that puts up an invisible barrier that repels physical attacks, and if you are hit by a goblin lord, the barrier should repel you.
This barrier will eventually 'break' as the damage accumulates, but the possibility of being hit so many times is beyond our expectations, so we don't see a problem with that.

However, if I tell Satsuki that I used this spell, she may rely on it somewhere.
Since we want to see Satsuki's true ability, it would be better not to let her know anything unnecessary.
This spell is only an insurance, and in this case, it is not something that should be incorporated into the tactics.

'So, Satsuki, let's see what you can do.

'Oh, yeah. I'm nervous to think that William is watching me. I wonder if I'll be okay.

'............'

I really don't know if I can handle this girl.

I'm getting more and more nervous, but there are plenty of ways to deal with it on the spot if it comes to it.
For now, let's just trust her.


I'll trust her for now.


After completing our preparations, we all stormed into the hall where the goblin lords were.

In the hall, there was a Goblin Lord, a Goblin Mage, and three normal Goblins.
They were all in a state of panic at the sudden attackers, but each of them had a weapon in their hands and were ready to fight back.

As usual, I used the Sleep spell to put all but four of the Goblinlords to sleep.

I had feared that the goblin mage would likely resist, but the result was disheartening.
The goblin mage fell unsteadily asleep, and was quickly disposed of by Mee, who ran up to him.
The remaining goblins, as usual, were killed one by one by the skill of Cyril and Mee, or died before they could utter a cry of despair.

All that remained was the battle between Satsuki and the Goblin Lord.

'Hey, big guy. Let's start this one, too.

Satsuki, who had been carrying a sword on her shoulder, approached the Goblin Lord within a few steps and held the sword straight up in the middle of her stance so that the tip of the sword was at the level of her opponent's eyes.

I felt the presence that Satsuki had been wearing change.

A girl with black hair in a ponytail and a sky-blue kimono and hakama was holding a sword with a beautiful posture that stole the hearts of those who saw her.
The air around her was as still as if it had been frozen.

Watching from behind, Satsuki's aura rose from her entire body, glowing so brightly that it could be seen with the naked eye.
Compared to the large goblin lord on the other side of her, Satsuki is noticeably smaller in stature, but she is no match for him in terms of presence.

'Gua......uu......'

The goblin lord was about to attack with the large sword in his right hand, but he seemed to have trouble attacking the samurai girl in front of him.


'...... Well, for a big guy, you don't seem to be too slow.

Satsuki makes an admiring noise.
If the goblin lord had taken a step further, it would have been the end of the line.

'Good. Then we'll do it the right way.

Satsuki released her stance.
She swung her sword, which had been pointed at the front, carelessly to her side.

' Ggaaaaaaaaah!

Perhaps he saw this as an opening, or perhaps he thought that if he didn't attack here, he wouldn't be able to attack forever.
The Goblin Lord raised his sword and rushed toward Satsuki, swinging it down.

He moved with a suppleness that was hard to imagine from his huge body, and the blow was so hard that an ordinary warrior would have been blown away by it.

But...
The goblin lord swung his sword down, and the girl was gone.
The sword raised a cloud of dust and dug deep into the ground.

'You're too late, sire.

The girl was suddenly standing beside the goblin road.

Even from behind, it was hard to tell how she had moved.
Her movements were so natural and unhurried.

'Guaruaaaaaaaaah!

'Oops.'

The goblin lord waved his arms wildly at the girl standing right beside him, but that was nothing to Satsuki.
With her incredible reflexes and speed, she easily evaded the attack by jumping backwards.

Then, as soon as she landed, she kicked the ground hard in front of her.
With the agility of a wild animal, he lowers himself and enters the Goblin Lord's bosom, unleashing a sharp thrust with his sword.

' Gyaaaaaaah!

The Goblin Lord screamed as he was pierced deeply in the shoulder.
Satsuki quickly draws her sword,

It's over. Well, that was fun.

He swung the blood-soaked sword down with a burst of spunk.

The goblin lord's head flew off.

The severed head flew through the air and fell to the ground with a thud.
The body of the goblin lord, which had lost its head, spurted blood violently and eventually collapsed in a heap.

Satsuki watched him until the end, then swung her sword to remove the blood and put it in the scabbard at her waist.

Then she gave me her usual carefree smile.

'I'm done. What do you think, William, my skill is not so bad, is it?

I nodded my head to Satsuki's words.
I'm sure you're already a D-ranked fighter, or even a C-ranked fighter if you're just looking at melee combat ability.
If you gain experience, you may well be able to reach a higher level.

'Oh... I'm surprised. That's quite a feat.

'Yay, I got William's approval... though I'm no match for you, William.



Satsuki walked up to me and made a fist and held it out as if demanding something.
I made a fist myself and smashed it into her fist.

I see, this kind of thing is not so bad.
