chapter 6
6. goblin club
“Kyaaa!!!”
Adela, the receptionist in front of me, screamed louder than a goblin.
‘Come on? It’s not the first time I’ve seen goblins.’
Of course, the goblins I put in front of me were reminiscent of the third stage of brutal killing.
Three goblin heads were neatly placed on the reception desk.
One is neatly slashed.
One had both eyes gouged out and his throat cut.
One is that the right temple is dented and blood is flowing.
If you were an ordinary person who had never caught a monster before, I think you would be frightened just by looking at the corpse of a monster.
‘He’s the adventurer’s guild receptionist.’
Since they told me to bring it, they must have grown tired of goblins, and since most of the corpses of monsters are purchased by the adventurer’s guild, they must have seen a lot of corpses of other monsters.
I don’t know why I’m so surprised.
I could see that not only Adela, but also the other receptionists nearby were horrified at the sight of the goblin’s head.
But I didn’t care and started the dismantling show.
“Now, let’s go to the goblin dismantling show~”
I took out the knife I was wearing around my waist.
The knife was stained with ultramarine blue blood from when he killed the goblin earlier, creating a sense of brutality.
But I casually cut off the ear with that knife.
squeak. squeak.
I’m not a psychopath, but I like the taste of writing this quite a bit.
I cut off one ear and put it on one side next to the reception desk.
Similarly, the other ear was cut off and laid neatly.
I repeated that and cut off the ears of all 3 goblins.
“What, what are you doing!?”
“I was told to bring goblin ears.”
What are you asking them to do after taking it for a long time?
You said it a few hours ago and then quickly forgot it.
Did you get dementia at a young age?
I’m sorry.
“What are you so upset about?”
The guild leader Argo appeared again in the ensuing commotion.
He came down the stairs scratching the back of his head as if tired, then watched us and wiped his forehead with the palm of his hand.
***
After that, I was kicked out of the Adventurer’s Guild for a while.
– I brought goblin ears, did you sign up?
– I’ll give you the adventurer certificate later, so stay outside for at least an hour…
‘People here don’t know the true taste of a dismantling show.’
How fun.
To kick a poor person who has to stand in front of the reception desk all day long without even knowing my intention to give joy to her.
Of course, the reception desk was a bit dirty from the blood that flowed from the goblin’s head, but I thought I’d clean it up when it was all over.
Because that’s how dismantling shows are.
Anyway, they told me to stay outside for an hour and come back, so I had to do something.
I decided to just wander around for an hour.
There’s nothing to do anyway, and I don’t want to touch it even if I know about it.
‘If the main character’s talent was taken away, I’d be caught up in the story too, but that’s a Hansako specification.’
If I take away the opportunity the main character should have, there are so many troublesome things to do later.
So I headed towards the market to see what was on sale.
But I really came here to wander without a purpose, but there was nothing to see more than I thought.
Apples and oranges were the only things I had seen before becoming possessed.
‘no fun.’
It’s an ordinary market, so I didn’t expect anything special, but I thought I’d see things I couldn’t see on Earth.
There was none of that.
Well, it’s still something people eat, but it’s normal that there aren’t any weird looking purple fruits.
‘Writer kid. I make a lot of fantasy-like things.’
How can magic and monsters be all there is in fantasy?
Just when I was thinking about going back and squatting in front of the adventurers, a hammer and anvil-shaped sign suddenly came into my sight.
‘smithy!’
A sign that read, “I’m a blacksmith,” caught my attention.
It was really fun when I saw a video of making a sword and cutting paper on YouTube before.
It wasn’t that I wanted to make it, but I wanted to see the sword that was made.
Even if there was a forge on Earth, there was nowhere to display and sell swords.
And since all the tools needed for hunting came from the smithy anyway, there was no reason not to go in.
– With my daughter.
When I opened the door and came in, the bell on the door announced that a guest had arrived.
“Welcome.”
And a man who looks like a blacksmith to anyone coming out of the inner door.
His arm muscles are amazing, probably because he lifted a lot of heavy things and hit a lot with a hammer.
‘Minimum three 500.’
To be honest, looking at the appearance, it looks like it’s not made of monster material with a hammer, but rather made into a weapon by compressing a living monster by hitting it with a hammer.
“I want to take a look.”
“Yes.”
After confirming that I am a student, I speak in a sloppy language.
it’s me Since I was born in the country of courtesy in the East, I think it is only natural for elders to speak rudely.
I never want to be a weapon.
Anyway, I came to look around, so I looked around the blacksmith shop.
Basically iron weapons.
Longswords, axes, hammers, daggers, etc. and shields.
And armor made of iron with high defense.
Plate armor commonly used in RPG games?
There were armors that felt like that and armors made of leather that were easy to move.
‘There’s no bikini armor.’
I want to buy something while I’m at the blacksmith’s shop, but I’m such a beggar that I have to stay overnight for dinner right now.
Still, it was fun to watch, so I was looking around the entire smithy, and I saw a wooden box in the corner with weapons of any kind.
It’s probably a failure or a weapon that needs to be repaired.
Rather than weapons that I couldn’t buy anyway, the things next to me stood out.
“Huh? Mister, are you selling this too?”
“Ah, that. Someone coaxed me to make it, but I didn’t take it. Just take it yourself.”
“You’re giving it away for free?”
“Uh. It only takes up seats and doesn’t do much anyway.”
nice! Got it!
I put the items I found in the corner of the forge into my inventory.
They said that nothing is free in this world, and it was all a bargain.
‘With one of these, goblins will be able to do it.’
I already laughed at the thought of using this.
“Gel gel gel.”
***
After killing time in moderation, they returned to the adventurer’s guild exactly one hour later.
When I came back after an hour, the site of the dismantling show I had been doing had been neatly organized.
The frightened receptionists were also seen returning to work.
“hello.”
“···welcome.”
But why did Adela’s tone stand sharp?
“Why do you talk like that?”
“… are you asking because you really don’t know?”
If there’s a thing with fierce eyes, a laser will come out soon.
The breakup show must have been a shock to Adela.
“What about the adventurer’s certificate?”
“Haa… here.”
‘Only paper…?’
The letter E was written on a piece of paper the size of a business card, with the branch and when it was issued, along with my name.
After listening to the explanation, it was said that the higher the rank, the more luxurious the badge.
Class D is made of copper, class C is made of iron, class B is made of silver, and class A is made of gold.
For reference, there are no certificates for Class F and Class S.
F-class is in charge of chores in the first place, so everyone understands when I just say F-class.
Conversely, there are few S-classes in the world, so it is said that if you know an adventurer, there are few people who don’t.
If you compare it to the earth, it is the reason that the president’s identity is proven just by showing his name and face.
‘Then I should have received a certificate. I have to earn money for dinner.’
I headed to the bulletin board and checked the E-class quests I could receive.
Originally, it was possible up to one grade higher, but it is said that it was changed that way because there were many cases in which stupid people who confused courage and bravery died while fighting.
Still, it was said that it was possible if there was an adventurer of the requested level in the party.
For example, if an E-class party wants to make a D-class request, it must be possible if there is at least one D-class member in the party.
I was solo anyway, so there was nothing I could do except E-class.
And, of course, the most basic request among E-ranks.
“Goblin.”
When I went to the reception desk with the request, Adela started glaring at me with terrifying eyes.
“Aren’t you doing another request?”
There were plenty of monsters besides goblins in E-class.
I followed you all the way to the hideout, but it’s too wasteful to throw it away.
“yes.”
“…This time, you only have to cut off the ears and bring them back.”
“yes.”
“Sigh······.”
“yes.”
***
The cost of returning to the forest unmarked was terrifying.
I wandered through the maze-like forest for an hour, and it felt like I was looking for an exit from the maze by pointing only to the wall on the left.
If you’re unlucky, it feels like returning through the entire maze.
I didn’t go all over the forest, but anyway, I came back to the cave I was looking at earlier.
“Ugh. It’s hard.”
Now that I’ve arrived, I immediately took out what I had prepared.
I put my hand into my inventory and prepared the ‘caltrope’ I brought from the smithy earlier.
It’s what ninjas often sprinkle on the floor in anime and games.
It was scattered in front of the entrance of the cave.
“Hee hee hee hee.”
If you step on it, it automatically tap dances.
The so-called simple club was completed.
Now I just need to lure the goblins, and that’s pretty simple.
“Kiyo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————— !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
I screamed loudly in front of the cave entrance.
I wanted to make the sound of scratching the blackboard, but I couldn’t because I didn’t have it right now.
‘I’ll have to bring the blackboard later.’
Anyway, after I screamed, the cries of the goblins echoed from inside the cave.
-Kyaaa!!!!!
Even if I listened roughly, it wasn’t just one.
It must have been more than I thought.
Then, I heard several footsteps, and as I got closer to the entrance, the goblins began to gather.
At a glance, it looks like there are about 10 of them.
“Yes! Delicious food is here! Come quickly!”
You can see a caltrop in front of you, but you want to know who stepped on it.
I am an enemy to them, and this is their base.
Who would think that a trap would be laid at the entrance to their base.
He’s a stupid goblin in the first place.
Of course, some of the goblins who had been running the hardest stepped on the caltrops.
-Kieheek!!!
“Oh, I’m sick.”
If you step on a Lego and it has thorns on it, can you know what it feels like?
I just looked at it and it looked really painful.
The first goblin stepped on a caltrop and tried to do a tap dance with excitement, but the goblins in the back couldn’t overcome their speed because of the goblins that suddenly stopped in front of them and rammed them from behind.
Naturally, the goblins in front fell forward and gave the caltrop field a blow to the face.
The goblins behind them jumped forward, stepping on the goblins buried in caltrops.
Of course, the goblins that were stepped on were pierced all over by the caltrops and died of blood loss without being able to utter a final word.
I’ve been running hard since then, but even so, a series of processes are just repeated.
The caltrops are spread out really wide, so one step comes and tap dances and gets trampled to death, and another step comes and tap dances and gets crushed to death.
Only the crying sounds of ‘Ee EX !!!’ and ‘Kee e!’
I danced excitedly to that sound.
