75 Chapter 74





 Fighting six goblins was a test for me.
 I was able to move that much in the fight against the rabbit kangaroo before.
 Now, I'm sure I can reach a higher level.

 With that thought, I clench my sword.

'Val, you'll have to wait and see. I want to fight on my own.
...va...

 Val also looked at me as if she wanted to fight.
 However, I guess he understood my feelings, so he waited at a little distance.

'Next time I find you, we'll fight together.
Bah!

 Val nodded strongly at me.
 I took one look at Val, then returned my gaze to the goblin... and moved closer.
 The goblins seem to have noticed my appearance as well. The goblins stare at me.

 It seems that none of them are attacking from magic or long range.
 All of them are rushing towards me.

 It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.
 Each of them are moving to surround me.
 While I took one look at them, two of the lead goblins rushed forward.

 I guess the plan is to use these two bodies as decoys to attack my blind spots and places that are difficult to deal with.
 I've been swinging my mithril sword at the goblins in front of me.

 The goblin had a cudgel - I'm sorry, but the extent of it cut through easily.
 The sword stabbed into the goblin's body as if it had no resistance.

 It took a moment for the goblin to look surprised. The mithril sword cuts off the goblin's arm without any resistance.
 I'm surprised that it's that simple.

 ........It's a mischievously powerful sword.
 If I make a slight mistake in handling it, it's almost likely to cause damage to me as well.
 I quickly put the sword back and swung it further into one piece.

 The sword raised at an angle to the right flashed across the goblin's neck.
 As I was keeping my distance from the goblin that spurted out blood and fell, the goblins that were surrounding me in a panic rushed in.

 ........You're slow.
 Now that I was able to keep up with the rabbit kangaroo's movements, now that I possessed a large amount of skills, I had no problem fighting it.
 He dodged all of the goblin's attacks and swung his sword down one after another from the goblins that showed an opening.

 ........It's so light and sharp that it's addictive.
 Once I got used to this, the difference in performance was so great that the swords I had made so far were embarrassing.
 So this is the power of the Mithril.

 I've heard that mithril is said to increase the power of skills and is often processed as an accessory.
 If so, what is the power of Bone Shot?

 He pointed his sword at the escaped goblin and fired a bone shot.
 In an instant, the bone made from the magic power that was released, spun like a boomerang and caught the goblin's back.
 

 Maybe it's because of the mithril, but I don't think this one is something to take up and praise.
 It would be better if it was there, or even better if it wasn't.

 The remaining goblins sat back and looked at us.
 ........Yes, it's difficult for us to do it if we're frightened, but - the other party is a demon.
 When we finished the last one, we finished dismantling everything.

''Va!''

 And Val, who had been watching in the distance, jumped toward me.
 I catch it and nod my head.

'Thanks Val. Watching over you made it easier for me to move.
"Valu.
I know. Next time we fight, we fight together.

 For now, I was able to confirm the performance of the Mithril Sword.
 Definitely, it's different from previous weapons.
 Of course it's a weapon that's too powerful, but I'll have to become stronger myself to be able to use it.

 From the next battle, I'll be using equipment with my skills removed.
 The reason for this is because I wanted to confirm my current bare strength.

 Also, I'll be checking the details, such as the state with only one skill on.
 For now, I found out that I can fight against goblins without any problems even without any skills at all.

 It's amazing how well I was able to stand up to a group of people.
 And that the performance of the body-strengthening skills would still decrease as the number of skills increased.
 Well, I knew this.
 With only one on and the second one on, it doesn't change that much.

 By the time I finished defeating the goblins and reviewing my skills while checking the changes in my body, it was evening.

 I headed to the guild to sell the demons I had defeated.
 When I arrived at the guild, there was some noise.
 It was just that a request had been posted on the bulletin board.

 It was unusual at this time.
 I went to look at it, which had been an urgent request.

It looks like a horn dragon and a bunch of demons are out there?
Wow, really? So, because of the increase in casualties, you need an adventurer's army?

 It was something like that in content.
 Currently, it seems that a large number of demons have occurred a few days east of here, and the neighboring villages and towns are being affected.

 However, in terms of the scale of the damage, perhaps the knights are also out? It doesn't necessarily mean that the adventurers will have to deal with it alone.
 If you look closely, there were requests other than fighting demons.

 It is said to be to support the evacuees.
 Currently, there is no place to receive the evacuees, and they are trying to deal with them by setting up tents outside the town.
 They are mainly responsible for watching them at night.

 Anyway, it seems that they are in need of help.
 A nearby adventurer loosened his mouth.

''The compensation is quite good. I'll take it.
...No, it's not easy, you know? I've done something like this once, but the locals don't have the luxury of time, so they get tangled up in the most unpleasant ways.
Is that so?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's limited on food and stuff. People see us eating and they complain when they see us eating.
I see...

 Food, huh?
 They probably don't even have enough food to receive the refugees.
 That's why they wanted me to use the adventurers to hunt the monsters of the labyrinth and secure food and other things.

 It was while I was listening to the adventurers around me, that I was tapped on the shoulder.

''Ah, I knew it was Lelius.''

 I turned around and saw Mr. Sheikh.
 I turn to see Mr. Sheikh standing next to him, and I see Mr. Warrior.

What's wrong with you two?
It's just that it's so noisy in the guild. It's just that I met with Warrior at the entrance just now.
Oh, I'm just here to settle the bill for the day. Yeah, this kind of stuff is hard to deal with when you're a low-level guy.

 I guess there's some sort of role at the party.

'Apparently, we've got a pretty daunting request.

 I glance at the request form.
 I glance at the request form.
 Next to them, I briefly explain the details of the request, and Sheikh and Warrior shake their heads.

I'm sure this is a tough request. I think I'll pass.
Me too, I guess. If someone's in trouble, I want to help, but it's not easy. What about you, Lelius?
I'm in, but I'm not sure I'm in. It's a lot to take in, isn't it?

 We moved away from the board.
 It was no use looking at it forever.
 It was when we left the guild. Sheikh popped his hand.

''Ah, yes. Lelius, I have a little favor to ask you... can you do me a favor?
What is it?
You see. Would it be possible for you to make me some throwing knives? For which I'd be willing to pay, of course, but....
...what? A weapon?

 I asked. Mr. Sheikh nodded.

I thought I could use it to close out the middle distance. When I saw Lelius fighting, I thought it would be useful.
''.......I see. That's fine. How many would you like me to get for you?
Really? Okay, can you just give me five of them?
Sure. I'll take care of that.

 Sif-san smiled happily.
 ........I didn't expect that the weapons would be ordered.
 Of course, I was hoping this would happen.

"Oh, Lelius! I'm ready, okay? I've always wanted a weapon that can be used for maneuvering as well as an axe!
Really? Oh, I see. Do you need a sword or something?
Oh! If you could, please!

 Mr. Warrior also clasped his hands together and bowed his head.
 Of course I'm going to make it since I was asked to do so, of course.

 ........a weapon for both of us, huh?
 We'll have to work hard to make it.
