If there's one thing we're going to have to worry about when it comes to skill testing, it's goblins.
　It's because they aren't that strong, and if you leave them alone for a while, they are demons that will multiply before you know it.

　Val is also following along with me, flying in a flap behind me.
　Once outside the city, we continued on the road for a while, as usual.

　Lately, it's rare to see goblins near the city.
　Therefore, we had to walk quite a bit.

　Still, it wasn't as painful as before.
　I can work with Valu now.

''Valu.

　Every once in a while, Val would come up to me and purr happily.
　I couldn't help but relax my mouth when I saw it.

　I walk along the path that was created by people walking along the beast path.
　The path is divided into several parts. One that goes to the labyrinth and another that goes to another city.
　In the direction of another city, the ruts of a carriage can be seen.

　From the dryness of the soil, it doesn't look like it's been that long since we passed through.
　Is that why? I could see a goblin figure that seemed to have come for such a carriage.

　With its ugly face, the goblin was staring at us.
　There were three of them.

　When the goblins found us, they let out a joyful cry and raised their respective gains.
　A goblin with a weapon?

　It's a rusty sword, an axe, and a spear.
　........For now, I just want to try a heel attack.
　The first thing I took out was an ordinary handgun.

　I aim at the belly of the goblin with the sword that was moving the fastest.
　At the same time as I pulled the trigger, the bullet released hit the goblin's stomach.
　I kept the power down. The purpose of this time was to try a heel attack.

　I fired the handgun I pulled out with my left hand at the goblin with the sword as he staggered to his feet.
　It's a handgun with a heel attack attached to it.
　The bullet that was released struck the goblin straight between the eyes.

　The current one is a bullet with such power that it could be killed with a single blow in normal circumstances.
　So far, the bullet had penetrated the goblin's body several times, but just now, nothing had happened.
　On the contrary, the weakened goblin got up energetically.

　........It seems that the effect of the heel attack has been activated.
　Indeed, this is a weapon of disadvantage if it was used unnoticed.
　Particularly, wouldn't it be the worst if you drew a low-ranked Heel Attack?

　You can't hurt yourself without recovering much.
　It would be hard to notice it in the middle of a battle.

　I retreated, putting away the handgun that was granted a heel attack.
　The spear goblins were approaching.
　I quickly retreated and let go of my handgun.

　The spear goblin pounced to the side in an agile move.
　It was probably because it had seen its companion get hit earlier that it expected something to jump and dodged by jumping to the side.

　It was a reasonably smart thing to do.

　As the spear goblin was trying to straighten out his stance, the axe goblin was rushing at him.
　It was the largest goblin of them all.
　I dodged the blow that was swung down and I plunged the sword in my waistband into the axe goblin.

　The goblin stumbles and tries to pull out the stabbing sword.

'Weapon Break.'

　At the same time as he murmured, the sword that was stuck in the body of the axe goblin exploded.
　The impact popped the sword goblin that was approaching me.
　I throw my sword at the fallen sword goblin.

　It was also granted a Weapon Break.
　The skill was activated to engulf the sword goblins, and in the blink of an eye, two of them died.

　They must have been angry at being hit by their friends.
　The spear goblins rushed in with their faces red.
　But I fired a bullet into its gaping body.

　The goblin's face turns pale. A poisonous attack.
　The spear goblin staggered to its feet, but it must have already used up quite a bit of its energy.
　It collapsed with a crumble.

''........For now, the heel attack is useful.

　It can be used to heal your friends, and it activates instantly.
　I'm not sure how well it heals wounds, but it also seems to heal them reasonably well.
　You just have to be careful not to miss your aim and hit the enemy.

And then there's the potion range expansion. I'm not sure about this one...''

　I take a sip of the potion as a way of recovering from my fatigue.
　.........hmmm, I can't really tell what the effect is.
　There's no indication that the amount of recovery is going up, either.

　I've been thinking about it, but I don't know. For now, I'm hungry, so let's get some food.
　I make a loaf of freshly made bread. It's a little hot and warm to hold in my bare hands.

　Next, I make some melted cheese and pour it over the bread.
　The hot bread and cheese mix together. The cheese spills out and I rush to get it to my mouth.

　It's hot ... but it's good!　Cheese and bread. Normally, I would not be able to eat anything this hot.
　It's impossible to eat all these things outside.

　These were all created with magical power.
　After I saw that I was giving them to Val as food, I didn't particularly care to eat the things created by my skills.
　I hadn't experienced any problems with my body.

　However, I still liked to bribe at home, so I still had a bribe in my mouth as well.

　As long as you have magic power, you can be self-sufficient.
　No other profession could be more convenient.
　I'd like to meet the bishop as soon as possible to talk to him.

Valu, Valu!

　It was then that Val called out as if to complain about something.
　........did he want to eat my bread?

　Val doesn't like things that are quite hot.
　I had to adjust the temperature before I fed him, or else I made soup before and he got teary-eyed from the heat.

I'll just wait here for a minute, Val. I'll make you another bread.
Valu!

　I shake my head. Do you want meat in between instead of cheese bread?
　That was good in its own way.
　We put the meat in the bread, and then we put the cheese and tomatoes together.

　Then we put special sauces and sauces on top of that. Those condiments are not easy for the average person to get to, but I can make them, because I destroyed them once.

'Wait and see. I'll put some meat in there too.
Valu!

　No, no, no!　I just shook my head.
　........what the hell?
　Then Val jumped in front of me with a flap and put her paw on her hip.
　Then he made a motion with his other paw as if he were drinking something.

'Are you thirsty?'
Val!

　Stupid!　And then he swung his tail out.
　It hits my head and hurts a little.
　Val looks at my pouch and pounces on it.

　There's nothing in there, but I use it to take out potions when I hunt with someone else.
　........potions?
　When I drank the potion earlier, it did the same thing as Val did earlier.

　No way, is that it?
　I take out the potion and Val nods in agreement.
　Then Val stares at my necklace.

　The necklace has been given a potion range expansion.
　........Val takes away my necklace and grabs the potion with his tail at the same time.

　The moment Val dexterously brought the potion to her mouth, my body recovered.
