chapter 5
5. Goblin Dismantling Show
After hearing Adela’s explanation about goblins, I left the empire.
I moved to a forest located a little far from the empire.
There are all kinds of monsters, and among them were goblins.
As expected, like the monsters in the fantasy world, they say that they live at the beginning of the forest, compared to other monsters living deep in the forest.
“Oh, can’t you see?”
But what can’t be seen
Now, I was thinking of killing monsters, leveling up, possessing extras, and doing some evil.
Surprisingly, it was filthy hard to find a goblin.
Like the worldview that only catches goblins, it was hidden and not visible.
Well, if it’s natural, then it’s natural.
If they are weak enough to live at the entrance of the forest, they will of course be hunted by other adventurers, and if the number increases too much as they are close to the empire, the empire will deal with them.
So, of course, he’ll be hiding, and the goblin-san won’t tire of asking me to bring 3 goblin ears from the adventurer sign-up test.
“Moreover, morning…”
Like a nocturnal goblin, even after washing my eyes in the morning, I couldn’t find any traces.
In the first place, there was no way that I, who was an ordinary person until a few hours ago, could know that I saw traces of goblins.
Now I only see wild animals like rabbits and squirrels around.
“This is why novels are comfortable.”
If it was a novel, ‘I met a goblin while wandering around the forest!’ With just a few sentences like this, the goblin would be right in front of you.
“Hey, I’m not the main character.”
What is the main character doing right now?
According to the story, by now you are probably working on a heroine favorably disguised as a theory class.
As fate would have it, sitting in the seat next to the second-in-command and babbling about it, strangely getting involved with the second-in-command.
“Tsk tsk. Poor heroine.”
Honestly, the main character Harem? not envious at all
No, even if there is one main character in the academy, all barriers are destroyed, monsters invade the academy, mines pop out out of nowhere, and named monsters appear during practice, resulting in deaths.
Who is to envy?
The academy students don’t know, but to me who knows the contents of the novel, the extras at the academy right now feel like suicide attempts.
The heroine is also going to be involved in it just because she is a heroine.
‘Honestly, novels are weird. If you were a normal person, you would be a heroine and a nabal, and you’d just throw away the main character and run away.’
Why isn’t there a guy whose head is the same even though his body is getting smaller?
He’s also a walking killer, so I don’t understand why the hell I’m hanging out with him.
I’m walking with that thought in mind.
– Kiek!
A goblin’s voice could be heard from beyond the bush.
I cried like I saw in real games and anime, so I couldn’t help but listen to it for the first time.
The word is ‘kiek!!’, but it’s different from just ‘goble!!’.
You made me personally come here to ask you to kill me, but it’s not human nature to pass by.
When he finally came to another world and saw his first monster, he hid among the bushes where he heard a sound with a pounding heart.
A shape visible through branches and leaves.
His vision became clearer and sooner, the image of the monster he had hoped so much for was put into his field of vision.
‘Five!’
Strangely long arms and legs in proportion to the upper body.
Elongated ears, different from those of ordinary people.
The bumpy bumps on the big nose that could only be seen on fairy tale witches.
It was a typical fantasy goblin with green skin, as if it were not human.
‘Oh oh!!’
It is different from 3D and 4D.
It wasn’t just what you could see in front of your eyes, it was a real monster that could move and actually touch it.
“Hoo-wook. Whoo-wook.”
to kill?
to kill?
It is against my temper to remain still when there is a monster in front of me.
Three goblins are dragging the boar carcass.
Looks like he’s trying to go back to his lair.
Kill 3 goblins now and finish vs follow and rob the lair.
‘Of course it’s the latter!’
I’m going to put off killing for a while, and I’m going to follow it now.
This should go to extreme gains.
Even if the gain is second, I think the latter will be more fun.
Since it was decided, I carefully followed the goblin’s back towards the lair.
Those idiots didn’t even know they were being followed and were just looking ahead.
10 minutes to follow like that.
As I came to a corner of the forest, I saw a large hole in the wall that looked like the entrance to a cave.
‘Confirm.’
I’ve confirmed the location, so I’m going to kill it here.
If you go closer and kill them, all the guys in the lair might come out.
‘If that happens, there’s nothing to enjoy later.’

Moistening my lips with my tongue, I pulled out the knife hanging from my waist and quickly rushed behind them.
And by the time I got close to their backs.
“Wow! Friends!”
That’s why I screamed in the ear behind the goblins.
– Kiek!?
The startled goblins looked back.
-Chack!
As I swung with all my might, the head of the goblin that was dragging the boar fell to the ground.
After belatedly confirming the death of a colleague, the other two rushed at me.
“rime.”
As expected of the weakest monster, it was slow.
Honestly, how can you not avoid attacking the same place at the same time?
After moving backwards to avoid the club that struck from the front to the left and right, he raised his sword horizontally and slashed forward.
“The solar circle!!!”
With a squeak, he thrust his sword into the goblin’s eyeball.
-Kieek!!!
The goblin stabbed in the eye by my sword let out a cry of pain.
‘As expected, the solar circle is the best.’
Originally, it was only possible with a flashlight, or it was a technology that only bald people could use by reflecting the sun’s light with their heads.
As a top physiotherapist, nothing was impossible for me.
Instead, it’s a problem with the aftereffects of not being able to see for the rest of my life.
I’m going to die soon anyway, so what’s the matter?
Quickly pulling the sword out of the goblin’s eye, I then stabbed the other eye as well.
-Keee
Now, instead of saying ‘Kieek!!’, we cry while saying ‘Kieek!!’.
It was like seeing a sample of how painfully a person can cry if LASIK or LASIK is performed without anesthesia.
Right after I drew my sword again, the blinded goblin swung a bat in all directions, so I hurriedly fell back.
And.
– Bahak!
-Kieek!!
The bat wielded by the blinded goblin hit the head of another goblin nearby.
“Oh, nice shot, boss!”
He hit him so hard that after one hit, he died with blood flowing from his head.
Originally, the one who can’t see is the scariest, so I guess he really beat him with all his might.
I quickly swung my sword to finish it before I could go further.
The goblin’s head fell to the floor once more.
If you cut off the ear and take it, the test will be over.
‘It’s not fun to just take it…’
While wondering if there was a good and novel way, I remembered a video I had seen on YouTube shorts before.
“Oh. That would be nice.”
Throw all 3 goblin heads into your inventory.
The blue spear shimmered and all the goblin heads disappeared.
Now all you have to do is go back.
I’m about to move my steps back to the adventurer’s guild.
[ Level Up! Check your status! ]
A blue window suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
Wanting something, I shouted the status.

There were also stat points as a bonus.
“1 point per 1 level? Crazy dog Chang-ryeol.”
In what era are these days, 1 point per 1 level is given.
Still, when I saw that I had risen by level 2 for killing 3 goblins, I could tell that my experience was quite a boon.
His gaze moved towards the cave for a moment.
“No, let’s wait.”
Wouldn’t it be better to save the delicious food and eat it later?
Like a real man, his stats were all overpowered, and he went back to the adventurer’s guild.
***
Adela worked hard today as usual.
I organized various requests and put them on the bulletin board, and dealt with various adventurers in front of the reception desk.
“Adela. Do you have time today after work?”
“Sorry. I have work after work today.”
An adventurer who flirts with himself.
“Do you know who I am!?”
“Rizzan. You seem to be very drunk.”
An adventurer who has been drinking since morning and becomes drunk.
There were all kinds of things, but there was one thing that was particularly strange.
That is, an academy student named Luke came to join the adventurer’s guild.
I heard the explanation from the guild leader, so I know he dropped out, but it was amazing.
This was unusual not only when he was working, but after the adventurer’s guild was established.
Anyway, now Luke went to catch the goblins to take the entrance exam.
Since he was an academy student, his skills were guaranteed to some extent, so he didn’t have to worry about getting beaten by goblins.
‘Still, it will take quite a while.’
I thought about that.
Adela herself has never been to catch goblins herself, but according to adventurers, goblins hide surprisingly well and are hard to find.
The upper echelons were saying that these days they should take the test with something other than a goblin.
That’s why lunch won’t come until after, thought Adela.
And as Adela expected, Luke returned around lunchtime.
“I’m glad you’re okay.”
As an adventurer who always spends dangerous days fighting monsters.
The receptionist had an obligation to remember the adventurer who had left the request and to give a welcome message when the adventurer returned.
And Adela didn’t feel uncomfortable about that either.
Adventurers are people close to soldiers in terms of Earth.
It is said that it is to make a living in a world infested with monsters, but as people risking their lives to fight for charity from monsters, they deserve respect.
Wishing them safe and congratulating them could have made them drool, and Adela was proud of that.
“Are goblins really that hard to find?”
“Umm… I’m a receptionist, so I don’t know the details, but when I listen to adventurers, they say yes.”
After answering Luke’s question, I saw that his hand was empty.
Normally, he would carry the corpse of a monster in a small pouch or subspace artifact, but on the contrary, he was bare-handed.
‘Did you just come here because you couldn’t find it…?’
Subspace artifacts are expensive, so only nobles use them.
If Luke had such a thing, there would be no reason for him to quit the academy and become an adventurer, so he’s probably a commoner.
Then the pockets should have been visible, but there wasn’t even that, so Adela couldn’t help but think that she couldn’t find the goblin.
‘It’s nocturnal, and it’s a goblin that’s been said to be hard to find lately, so it must be hard to find now in broad daylight.’
One of the receptionist’s jobs is to comfort adventurers who have failed their requests.
“It’s okay, Luke. You can do better next time.”
Although Luke isn’t an adventurer yet, he seemed like he’d be able to find him in the evening anyway, so he offered those words of comfort.
However, his reply was a contradiction to the appearance of his bare hands.
“Yes? Did you catch the goblins?”
And before he could ask anything, he waved his hand in the air.
I put 3 goblin heads on the reception desk.
“Kyaaa!!!”
Seeing this, Adela let out a shrill scream.
In an instant, the eyes of the adventurers were focused on the reception desk.
And whoever made this happen.
“Now, let’s go to the goblin dismantling show~”
