Chapter 541 – Forest of Jinma
What the goblin, speaking of the word demon king, showed… It was a puzzle.
“Devil?”
“Don’t you know what a demon king is?”
“I know. Isn’t it the disaster of 666 people in the demon realm?”
“…It’s a sophisticated expression.”
Dre exhaled in involuntary admiration and looked suspiciously across the forest.
Nelf didn’t know how things were going. Suddenly the devil? Are you a demon?
But it’s not impossible.
Not too long ago, when I was buying a floating island, a giant golem demon appeared, and didn’t four instinctive demons appear in this play as well?
After the peace agreement was signed, it was difficult to see even the demons, let alone the demon king, but recently there is a demon king parade.
Has the demon’s thoughts changed…? I couldn’t help but think.
Palyu and Lald had similar thoughts.
In particular, they are still the mission of a teenage family. He was inheriting the legacy of the Ten Heroes.
Nelf’s listening position was bound to be quite different.
“Then who is the one you spoke of?”
“…You. Perhaps.”
The Talking Goblin gave an enlightened look, then she shook her head.
It seems like that doesn’t matter.
“… What he is, he is who he is.”
“?”
“He wasn’t the Demon King. But he was greater and more terrible than the Demon King.”
The girls felt chills.
Are you greater and more terrible than the Demon King? Are there such beings in this forest?
Just as the darkness enveloping the forest began to feel for the monster’s black jaws, Dre uh… Tilted her head.
“Are you that strong?”
“…”
“Then another question. You guys have been moving secretly, avoiding people’s eyes. Where are you going?”
“…I’m just here, so I’m not sure, but to a place where I can see him.”
“That one? You say that you scatter and gather once a month. Is there a regular cycle?”
The Talking Goblin thought for a moment and said.
“There’s no set time… But once a month you said… I guess you could say it’s a cycle.”
“So you know when he’ll show up and go looking for him?”
“Invitations have been placed.”
“Invitation…?”
“This…”
The goblin rummaged through the items and she pulled out something.
Nelf was trembling as her shock did not go away, but she was preparing a spell in case the goblin would mess with her, but she was really invited by the goblin.
Dre pasted up the invitations he had already opened. She was to check the seal.
The word calamity was stamped on the seal.
“Disaster?”
“There is a rumor among us. Three days after receiving the invitation, you can see him when you come here to Jinma Forest.”
“Hmm.”
“It actually happened. It was only once, and I was wandering around without knowing where it was, so I only saw it at the end… But I was able to see him.”
That beautiful figure.
Taking his eyes off the talking goblin’s glowing eyes, Dre pulled a letter from the envelope.
Flutter.
After seeing what was inside, Dre asked another question.
“What is it written on?”
“I don’t know. It’s true…”
The Talking Goblin looked at her and said gibberish that she was like a demonic language, but something was different.
“Do you understand Makai language? To be able to speak two languages. That’s amazing.”
Admiring it in a strange place, Dre nodded and asked another question.
“Is that what you’re riding on?”
“That…? A ride? Well… At least I don’t know.”
“Is that so.”
“…Really, it is.”
“Yes.”
Dre’s eyes shone sharply.
“I know.”
“…”
A trembling talking goblin.
Because I know it’s real, not bluff.
“Now, changing the question a bit, why did you attack those kids? To eat and kill?”
“It must have been intended as a sacrifice to him…”
“It must have been? You didn’t mean to do that?”
The talking goblin nodded her head.
“No. He has no desire to take the life of a creature… At least not to me. Above all, he has never asked for a tribute.”
“I heard you’ve only seen him once.”
“We often share stories about him, so I know that I only met him once. He was content just to meet us.”
“So, was that just their opinion?”
The Talking Goblin gave her a quick nod.
“That’s right. At least when we’re in the Jinma Forest, we don’t even have the slightest thought of attacking humans.”
Quaang!
The goblin, pinned to the floor with her throat grabbed, tried to fight back with her sword, but she gave up.
Rather than thinking that it would be useless anyway, it was because he lived to the point where he had a gut feeling that he would die.
Not anger
Innate pleasure.
An unhuman disposition, like his kin, who takes pleasure in killing and destroying living things.
“Because you’re kidding, you bastard.”
“…”
“It seems like you’ve been saying only things that are advantageous to Ji. I like it. Everything’s good. Just say this and I’ll save you.”
Dre’s eyes narrowed.
“The gathering place. Where is it?”
“…”
“Aren’t you going to answer me?”
Snap.
Dre presses harder into the floor.
The talking goblin stared at the corpses that had turned to cloth around them, at the people who had come all the way here, leaving no corpses behind.
He died terribly and painfully.
In particular, those who tried to touch the students were tortured to such an extent that those who had died earlier felt fortunate.
Are you experiencing the same thing yourself?
I’m afraid to die, but do I have to go through that before I die?
“Hook…Hook…”
The goblin’s breathing quickens and his pupils quiver.
The fear of death is equal.
Even if it’s a monster, no… It’s a monster that prioritizes instinct, so death is scary.
“Count three. One. Two three.”
Dre raised his fist after quickly memorizing the last number.
So the goblin opened his mouth and spoke.
“I can’t speak…”
“…”
“The guys gathered there… Are the ones who restrain their instincts and purely enjoy the festival…”
“So?”
“Above all, I can’t sell his information…!”
The goblin tightly closed its eyes.
“Still, I told most of what I knew.”
“Are you asking for help?”
“…At least. A comfortable death.”
“…”
Dre glared at the talking goblin for a while with her subtle eyes.
Then he let go of her neck.
“I don’t think it’s a lie, so I’ll spare you.”
“…”
“But I still have some doubts, so I can’t let you go.”
“I get it.”
Dre summons a rope and then draws an ultra rope! Cannonball! And tied it tight.
“Ummm…! Applying Ki and Ryunar to make such a tight bond possible!”
“Huh? Did you feel that?”
“…Roughly.”
Dre fell into the talking goblin’s eyes.
The man in front of me was a fearful and terrible existence, but it was clear that he was strong enough to be respected…
“Please watch the sky from here.”
Dre, who had laid the goblin down so he could look up at a distance from the camp, came back to the girls.
“Are you okay…?”
Dre nodded her head at Nelf’s anxious voice.
“Have you heard? You’re better than most people.”
“Ha, but… Those monsters earlier…”
“I felt they were sinister from the start, and they weren’t the authors.”
Dre replied, and she gently touched Lald’s body with her arms, which still couldn’t move, to energize her.
After a while, they were able to move, and they suppressed their resentment while wheezing.
The descendents of a teenage family seemed ashamed and crazy to hear that they were only attacked by minnow monsters even though it was a surprise attack.
“They were only champion monsters, so if you’re not careful, you can get hit. Wash and sleep today.”
At the same time, the patting hands were warm and reliable.
Rald opened his eyes wide, and Palryu also blinked and blushed.
“Go, thank you.”
“…Thank you.”
Dre brought the two into the tent and took a sword and sat down next to Nelf sitting on a tree stump.
“Mister Nelf, please go in too.”
“Instructor.”
Nelf called out to Dre and squeezed her glass.
And she was silent for a moment, then opened her mouth.
Just before that, Dre struck the ball.
“Sorry for using it as bait.”
“…Was it like that?”
The talking goblin’s reaction as if he sensed something from Dre, and his behavior as if he had heard all of Dre’s conversation earlier.
He didn’t even try to hide it.
She knew everything and openly told me to blame myself to the fullest.
So Nelf didn’t resent him.
Monsters are usually killed by Dre’s hand.
In particular, cows were half-cowed.
There is no doubt that he… Was angry at their pain.
It was probably an unexpected situation for Dre as well.
“I was going to come as soon as the monster attacked, but the timing was a bit off. I’m sorry.”
An apology that feels real.
That was enough.
It was he who took the risk and followed along, and he did his best.
“Did you get the information…?”
Rattle.
Still, the trembling body couldn’t help it.
Dre, who had been looking at her nerf with pity, put her arm around her and pulled her to her side.
“Oh, oh my…!”
“I’ll stay like this until the tremors stop. It’s warm, right?”
Definitely warm
Enough to want to sleep.
She might have been if it hadn’t been for some woman Nelf detested.
“…I hate men’s skinship.”
“I won’t do it next time.”
“…Yes.”
Nelph was embarrassed, but he leaned against Dre in silence.
Looking back later, why did I do that? It was an act that would tear his hair out, but now Nelf was shocked and thought Dre was a trustworthy adult…
So he started talking about things he wouldn’t normally do.
“I… Got into a fight with my mom…”
“…”
“My family’s way didn’t suit me, so I stopped applying and came out… I worked hard…”
“Quadruple without support. Great job.”
“It’s something I’m proud of… But it’s different in real life. Even though my mother was usually a fool, she was a reliable person in real life…”
It wasn’t just because of a fight with her mother.
There are many twists and turns after coming out.
But she didn’t have to say that.
“…Secretly, will you do it?”
“I’m sure only I know. Don’t worry. I don’t even like whaikatsu very much.”
“…”
Warm feeling.
There was a monster that became cloth nearby, and a rare monster called a talking goblin was tied up, but I didn’t feel the slightest sense of danger.
A little sleepy.
The body shudders intermittently.
Sensing that, Dre hugged her tighter and… Sneakily brushed against her nipple.
“…!!!”
It only touched her for a moment, but her body felt as if electricity were going up.
…As before, this man. He subtly touched the bodies of Palyu and Rald, including his own.
It’s as if he’s doing it on purpose, he’s sexually harassing me, but…
‘I’m sure not.’
Not that kind of man He is a trustworthy adult.
Maybe… Her breasts are small, so she just didn’t notice or was insensitive.
He thought it was the latter when he remembered what he had done to Palyu and Lald.
Besides, I didn’t show any emotion like lust at all…
Nelph put the blanket over him and leaned against Dre, closing his eyes…

Tring!

Whoa.
Quest complete.
As soon as I entered the forest, this quest popped up, so it was a little difficult, but somehow I succeeded.
The operation worked well too.
I thought that if I left my children behind, the monsters who were afraid of me would come back and play tricks.
Well, it was surprising that new guys other than them came, and it was a little surprising that the kids were injured, but as a result, they were moderately paralyzed and were able to touch them, so it’s a good thing.
[…Thump, rubbish…! The children trusted you…!]
[Keep-keep-chew…]
What is trash
Still, fearing that the children would get hurt, I hid my presence close by and prepared to call if the need arises.
[Trash!]
Fuck you!
[Sheesh. But is it okay?]
What do you mean?
[Doesn’t it need to be further questioned?]
That goblin? It sounds like he has a heavy mouth, and it seems like they hate torture.
And I saw which direction the monsters were gathering.
Tomorrow at the earliest, we should be able to get a clue.
Then Nelf spoke cautiously.
“I thought the instructor was a little more cold-hearted.”
“?”
“He saved me, took care of me in many ways, and… I didn’t know he would like my father that much.”
“Yeah? Who do I like?”
“?”
What.
Why do you look at me and smile that you are cute? Nelf.
Hahawas also caught up with Nelf.]
Hahalook at his expression. How cute is this kid? It is the expression.]
Shut up! Shut up!!
I mean, I hate that guy so much!
“…Your father must have been a good man.”
“He was… A good man.”
I couldn’t deny that.
“Are you like the instructor?”
“…”
“Oh. I’m sorry. Were you offended?”
“It doesn’t look alike. It’s because they’re adopted.”
“!”
Activate Lula Lula Tallulah.
Actually, I didn’t mean to…
I silently drew a magic circle and drew a picture with light.
It’s a magic that lasts for a while, but that’s why it’s good.
I didn’t want to see that face again.
“I’ve heard many people say that our eyes look alike. Would you like to see if we look alike?”
“Aha…”
Slowly draw that person in your memory.
And when he was halfway done with his face, he stopped.
What popped into my mind
Right before he died, this person… Gave me…
Of resentment…
“Uh…?”
At that time, Nelf gave a puzzled voice.
What? The moment I looked at it… Nelf spat out an unexpected name.
“…Tohute oppa?”
“…!!”
