It was about an hour's walk into the woods along the road, when they were asked to kill the goblins.When Sett, who was walking ahead of Ray, used a water polo to shoot through the bushes, a scream broke out, and nearly twenty goblins appeared surrounding him.

"An ambush -- no ambush -- in the depths of the forest, then, by chance, I ran into a group of goblins."

　muttered Ray, holding his death-size.His eyes quickly observed the goblins.

(Two rusty daggers, three similar daggers, and the rest of a club? -- that the intelligent goblins could have weapons, but not all of them could have weapons.There is a possibility that only the highly intelligent goblins were gathered...

"Huh!"

　A flash of the stone thrown at him by the goblins behind him as a pre-emptive attack.Cut the surrounding giant tree with a diameter of about 1m.
　Perhaps he didn't think he could cut a tree with a trunk of that thickness, but even though he looked a little surprised, he screamed to Seto to make use of the tree that was falling down soon.

"Setto, if the tree falls and splits, we'll destroy each and every one of the goblins!"
"Grunt!"

　He gathered his inner thoughts as he watched the tree slowly but surely fall into a block of goblins.

(As I heard in the guild, it would be better to judge that a rare species appeared.and if you don't see him here, do you have enough brains to realize the danger of his coming to the front?

"Giggle!"
"Geez!"
"Giggy".

　Seeing the goblins split into two hands to avoid the falling tree, shouting something, Ray turns to the right with his death-sized position in place.Seto drives to the left.

"Huh!"

　A tree suddenly falls down and enters the confused goblins and wields its great scythe with a sharpness that cuts even the fallen giant tree without resistance under the spell.A mere goblin could not prevent it, and the scythe that had been shaken slashed off the bodies, limbs, or heads of the goblins around Ray without resistance.
　A flash. Most of the goblins around were either dead or dying in a single attack.
　Among the armed goblins, those with rusty long swords, were thrusting out their weapons to prevent the scythe, which had almost been shaken by reflectively,But not to mention the magic item Battleax that Vargas used to use, preventing death size with a rusty long sword is like telling you to take a glass of water from a huge waterfall.He could not resist, but he was just slashed to the ground with his long sword, arms and torso, and his internal organs were scattered.

"Geez!"

　The rest of the goblins, seeing the loss of more than half of their companions divided by the giant trees in a single attack, break up in all directions and flee as fast as they can to survive.
　Ray thought for a moment about pursuing them, but his request was to subdue the five goblins.If you have time to knock down more goblins, it's more efficient to kill monsters that feed your set or death size.Therefore, he never pursued them.

"Ringling!"

　and the shouts of Seto coming from the other side of the tree.When Ray decides that it's been cleared up without any problems, he overcomes the giant tree and moves to Seto's side.
　where the bodies of the goblins, whose stomachs had been crushed by water polo, or cut with the forefeet of an eagle with sharp claws, had been gnawed and cut to pieces by sharp sharpening vines.There are four, about two less than Ray, but while Ray killed six at one blow, Seto attacked one by one to defeat the number.The Goblin's escape is sufficient.

"Glu".

　Seth rubs her head against Ray as she approaches him and compliments him.Ray smiled bitterly at the contrast with the bodies of the goblins scattered about him.
　He patted his head for a while and praised his achievements, and when it was settled, he began to collect the parts to prove the subjugation.
　Incidentally, in the case of goblins, there is no material available to buy from guilds or shops, so only the right ear and the magic stone of the proof of subjugation can be removed.

"Seto, please take precautions while the site of the punishment and the magical stones are being recovered."
"Glu".When Ray sees Sett nodding, he pulls out an iron dagger from the mistling instead of a mislyl knife on his waist.It was stolen from a fellow Vargas.

(for it would be a waste to use a misril knife to strip off the goblin.I got it, and I'll use this knife, which may be stained or scratched.)

　He cut off the right ear of the goblin with a knife, cut off the chest, and took out the magic stone of the tip of his little finger from the heart.

(Not to mention the water bear, don't you feel particularly disturbed when you knock down a human monster?I'm lucky that I didn't have to worry about it by saying, "I killed you, too, probably because of the fusion with Zepyle.It's probably a little disgusting to kill people, but that's all.This is not Japan, but Elgin, so when in Rome, do as the Romans do.if you feel a repugnance in killing your prey, you must be an adventurer from the start.)

　Ray thinks like that inside, but rips off the goblin's right ear and magical stones one after another.
　By the way, he is recovering the magical stones of the goblin just in case, but as he is called the weakest monster, Ray thinks it is impossible to learn skills whether it is set or death size, so he does not hesitate to recover them to Mistilling.The Goblin magical stones, each with a copper coin and a very low purchase price, were nevertheless considered better than none.
　Having finished stripping the four of Seto's fallen animals, he looked briefly at the weapons that the Goblin had.However, whether it be a long sword or a dagger, it is rusty and useless, and he cannot repair it himself.If you ask a blacksmith or an arms dealer to do this, it's possible, but considering the repair costs, it's probably in the red.Rey, who had judged it to be a good deal and zero, had just picked them up by the runaway goblins and crushed them with a death-size handle so that they wouldn't be reused.
　The clubs were scattered all around, but I left them as they were.It is called a club, but since it was a diversion of branches growing in the surrounding tree, even if it was broken, it was judged that a replacement club would be prepared immediately.

"Now, it's my turn to beat him.Set, the tree... No."

　He said that, and suddenly remembered what had happened in the forest of evil forest.and the tree he had knocked down at that time could be stored in the mistling.Then I should be able to store this tree, too.
　There was nothing in particular to be asked what it would do to store the wood, but he was optimistic that it would eventually help him.

"All right, for the time being, there are no obstacles in the way of travel.Seto, please keep your guard up."
"Glu".

　With the loss of the tree lying on his side, he created a space where he could move freely, leaving Seto vigilante to begin stripping off the goblins he had killed.Unlike the goblins that Sett had knocked down at a death-size blow, most of them had their torso, limbs, or neck severed and scattered viscera, blood, and pieces of flesh on the ground.In such a state, he sought the head of the goblin, cut off his right ear, and took the magical stone out of his heart.As he reached out to the other corpse, Ray noticed a sudden anomaly, as if someone were watching him.

"Glu".

　Seth, who is on guard near him, is also looking around him in a somewhat restless manner.

(I feel uncomfortable, but I can't get a decisive position.)... a rare species you heard in the guild? What's your aim? If it's safe, you'll just let us pass.Or a surprise attack aimed at the moment when I was done stripping.In any case, if you're a monster who can't put on airs, I'd like to get that magical stone.I hope I can lure you.)

　Determined to be their enemy, Ray cuts off his right ear from the last goblin and tries to take the magical stone out of his heart...and kicks the ground quickly from the spot to Seto's side when he hears the sound of flying towards him.
　At the next moment something red hits the body of the goblin that Ray had been touching until just a few seconds ago, throwing a gaudy spark around him.

"Oh, the magic of fire in this forest, and nothing has come to an end.Set!"
"Grunt!"

　The fast-pitched set invokes the water polo.The fire is successfully extinguished before the flames from the body of the goblin spread to surrounding plants.
　Ray, who had been looking around quickly to see what was going on, felt the presence of someone on the tree above him and lifted his death-size up his head reflexively,
　Shaken towards Ray's head with a sharp squeak, the long sword is played dead-sized, and the reaction is broken halfway down the blade.

"Huh!"

　A flash of death-size flashed before me, and the man who attacked me to prevent it pushed his shield forward, as if it had been a long sword.
　Still escaping a death-size blow by sacrificing his shield, he takes advantage of the blown blow to distance himself from Seto and Ray and land on the ground.At last Ray could afford to observe the other person in front of him.
　It was Goblin who glared at him with a halved long sword and a small shield, which had been cut in half.But what is different from ordinary goblins is the color of their skin color.Whereas ordinary goblins have green skin, goblins in front of Ray have red skin.It is also about one head taller than an ordinary goblin.

"Well, it's a rare species.It's strange to say that."

　Ray smiles at the sight of her distinctly different figure from the ordinary goblin.Or perhaps he took it as contempt for himself, but the rare Goblin threw down his half-cut shield, and held up his half-bodied long sword."

"Geez!"

　The moment I thought I was screaming sharply, a ball of flame appeared before the rare species.

(Similar to Seto's water polo, so should I call it a flame polo? For a goblin, his arm as a warrior is quite good, and he uses offensive magic, though he may be a beginner.It should also be called the "magic warrior type."But the magic is meaningless unless it is actually released!)

　The rare goblin kicks the ground and kills quickly before firing it off, and cuts it into the goblin with its flame ball through death-size magic.

"Gee!"

　The blade of the scythe, which had been shaken off, cut the flame and dispersed it on the spot, and damaged the chest of a thin but rare species of goblin.
　Furious that his flameball had been extinguished, he threw at him a piece of his long sword.
　Goblin's impatience was in a way natural.Basically, a magic once developed can only be erased by another magic attack, or by a magic weapon, but this was the first time that a goblin had seen a magic item that could pass magic.

"You can certainly use magic, and your sword-fighting is in its own way capable of deserving the name of a rare species.But your biggest advantage is your ability to kill the hint.You are nothing more than a game to be hunted, as long as you get rid of the fatal blow with it."

　He deliberately swung down the blade with a big blow at the death-size... the Goblin, who managed to avoid it, took a momentary break and scooped up his feet with a handle.

"Geez!"

　The Goblin screamed and still tried to get up, but the Goblin's greatest mistake was to concentrate too much on Ray.It was no wonder that he could prevent a blow from the sky, which was supposed to have been killed, and that the magic of fire which he had been able to use only among his companions could have been extinguished without difficulty.
　However, it was a fatal mistake to concentrate on Ray.
　His feet were saved by a death-size handle, and behind the goblin, with his butt still on the ground, Seto had crept up... with the sharp claws of an eagle and the unparalleled strength of a lion.

"Geez!"

　Goblin is, after all, only a goblin, however rare for Seto.The adventurer's guild has an overwhelming difference in ability between A and F.Even though it was one rank higher than that of ordinary goblins because of its rarity, it was after all E-rank, and the goblins, who could not see the difference in status as living creatures until the end, had their neck bones crushed with a clink and their lives extinguished.

"Seto, you did a great job.
"Grull".

　He pats the spoiled Seto on the head, and then quickly pulls the magical stone out of the heart of the goblin.which was about one size larger than the other goblin little finger-sized magic stones.
　Ray hesitated for a few seconds whether to absorb the magical stone to Seto or Death Size, but decided that it was inconvenient for Seto to have only water polo skills, so he offered it to Seto.

"Set".
"Glu".

　He holds the magical stone on Ray's palm with a kuchibashi and swallows it.
　And...

[Seto learned Firebreath Lv.1]Announcement messages I've heard before echo through my mind.

"... a goblin's magic stone with a flaming ball, why firebrace?"

　he muttered, breathing.
