We spotted the goblins, and we stayed away and observed them.
　The goblins were looking at us too, but they didn't attack us right away.
　Some of the goblins may be acting in unison now.
　The goblins are still staring at us without caution.

''Lelius would you like to try fighting alone for once first?
Alone?
Yes. I honestly don't know what you'd do in a fight. I'm only allowed to cut down my enemies with my sword, but you fight at mid-range, don't you?
Yes, sir.
I can't imagine why. Could you show me? I too ... can win as much as a goblin, even if I'm not before. I'll help you if it happens.
I understand.

　That makes me a little nervous.
　Mea has been an adventurer for a long time.
　She might complain a lot about the way I fight.

　At the very least, I'll try not to be seen as a drag.
　As I approached the goblins, they seemed to think that combat was inevitable.
　I raise the club I was holding.

　It's a threat.
　I throw the knife at the goblin without question.
　The goblin dodges it. That much was expected.

　So I attack by bone shot. The skill from the dagger attacks the goblin.
　The goblins dodge it too.
　However, I'm in a disadvantageous position.

　Then he throws the knife at it. The snatched knife itself does not do much damage.
　The goblins were also looking at the knife, but they had a smile on their face, as if they could afford it.
　Is it really so?

　A goblin dashes towards you.
　In order to switch to close combat, you draw your sword.
　Handle the goblin's attacks.

　Since I also have a muscle strengthening skill, handling the goblin's attack is not a contrivance.
　However, right now, there are things I want you to know about the effects of the poison attack, so I won't directly deal with it.
　It was a minute or so later that the goblin collapsed.

　Suddenly it spits out blood and collapses just like that.
　I knew it was the breath of an insect, so I gave the goblin the last word.

''It's like this,''

　I looked at Mea to show her the goblin I had defeated.
　She opened her eyes.
　.........I wonder if there was a problem with the way she fought, after all.

''Hey, what did you do!

　Mea raised her voice and looked at me.
　What's going on?　I'm tilting my head, and Mea comes up to me.

'What's going on?'
Why did the goblin fall?　I wouldn't have given him a single blow!
I attacked him once first. The knife was snatched, wasn't it?

　I indicated the goblin's wound, and Mair was staring at it.

'That's the damage you're doing!
"Yes, sir. It's a poison attack. My knife has poison in it....
Poison?　And yet, it shouldn't be hard to find a poison that will work against a demon...
Is that so?
''Oh, yeah. As I recall, a divine weapon with a poisonous attack was a hazel. Most demons are resistant to state disorders, you know.
...Is that so?

　Perhaps if they were ranked higher than their poison resistance, they could break through.

''Ah. It depends on the poison, but it's not completely hazed, since it can't be used for torture or anything else, but... at least it's not that much of a demand.''

　If it's your divine weapon, you'll know what skills are being granted.
　There used to be scams using it.

　You can't see other people's skills.
　So, you could say a skill that was stronger than you needed and threaten them.

''Anyway, I've never seen a poison strong enough to kill a demon!　That knife is terrifying...!
'I see ... well, this is how I fight. How did you like it?

　At my words, Mea-san crossed her arms and nodded.

''Well I can't complain about that. If you're not good at it, I'm sure you're much stronger than me.
'No, it's not. I'm a dead divine object, you know?
But still. The way he carried himself was much better than most of those gods.

　I wonder if that's true.
　Well, I think it's probably more than half flattery from Mea.

''Could you show me Mea-san's fight next?　It's since you changed your equipment, and I'm sure your movements have changed as well.''
Well I hope you're right. If you're more mobile than you've ever been, you'll be the one to make it happen.

　I hope you can move.
　I just look different than I did when I was wearing the equipment before, and I'm sure I'll be fine.

　I walk with Mea and find the next goblin.

　There are two goblins.
　I decide to take on one of them instead of Mea-san, who says she's not sure if she can move yet.
　This time I wanted to watch Mea-san fight, so I decided to take care of the goblins in an instant.

　I wanted to experiment a little bit, so I tried a few things.
　I dealt with the goblin's cudgel that was coming at me and stabbed the knife into it.

　The knife is given a weakness skill that I got from Mea's equipment, such as muscle power reduction.
　The fact that the knife is stabbed into it is the same as being equipped, right?

　About ten seconds after I stabbed it, the goblin's movements had clearly slowed down.
　On the contrary, my body becomes lighter. ........After all, I don't want to wear equipment with a reduction effect.
　I bounce the head of the goblin whose movement has slowed down and look at Mea-san.

　Mea-san was facing the goblin right now.
　Mea-san and the goblin were both looking at me in surprise.

'Mea-san, please be careful.
Oh, oh!

　Mair shouts out and faces the goblin.
　The goblin pounces on her, shouting at her, probably because she's been hit by her friends.
　Mea-san dodged the blow.

　Mea-san........dodged too much, or maybe she was a long way from the goblin.
　Mea-san looked at her body in surprise.

　........What's going on?　I wonder if the effects of the curse were still present after all.
　There's nothing wrong with the equipment.
　Then what else--.

　As I was thinking, Mea-san kicked the ground.
　In an instant, he closed the distance between him and the goblin and swung his sword down.
　The fire burned the remains of the goblin's slash, and the goblin died in an instant.

　Even in a situation where the curse remained, Mea-san could still move like that.
　I mean, is this what makes you an E rank adventurer?　........I knew it would be difficult for me to be an adventurer.
　The disparity between those who have sacred weapons and those who don't is too great.

''........Mea-san, you're very good.

　As I approached Mea-san while clapping, she jumped towards me with a glint in her eye.
　What!　Oh, my tits!

Thank you, Lelius!
What do you mean?
Because of you, I'm able to fight like I always have... well, more than I ever have before!
Oh, really?

　He seemed to feel uncomfortable during the process..............is it true?

'Oh!　This equipment you made me is awesome!　My body is light as a feather!　I didn't believe it until after the battle began, but the only reason I was able to make those moves earlier was because of you!　Thank you!　Thank you so much!

　Mea-san is happy with tears of joy.
　........No, Mea-san must have had this much power in the first place.
　I should only be a trigger.

''I see. I'm glad if I was able to help you, even if only a little.
It's great!

　Mea-san squeezes me into a hug.
