Defiled Hero

We're All Friends (And Then There's Lilia)

「Rigolo, restrain them.」 (Izayoi)

「*Kuke!*」 (Rigolo)

「Tear. Come here.」 (Izayoi)

I called over Tear who was

defeating the weak goblins nearby. Even though we are surrounded, their advance

is slow because they are wounded.

Uri was defeating goblins

faster than they could approach. I wonder if this is alright.

「Tear. Can you speak with him?」 (Izayoi)

「...Will try.」 (Tear)

I had Rigolo restrain the

subjugated goblin king, just to be safe.

「...Stop, fighting.」 (Tear)

「*Guraaa...*」 (Goblin King)

「What did it say?」 (Izayoi)

「Control everything, become

king. So, obtain fairy magic, it says.」 (Tear)

「I see, so that's how it is.

Unfortunately, you won't become a king. The one that will become king is Tear.

For the time being, kneel.」 (Izayoi)

「Tear, king?」 (Tear)

「I forgot to mention it. Tear

will become the king of monsters. So make the goblin your serv.... your friend.

There won't be any problems if you do so.」 (Izayoi)

「Friend?」 (Tear)

「If you reconcile, then nobody

has to get hurt. Stopping before anything bad happens is good. That's something

Tear can do. The hero could only defeat people, but Tear is different.」 (Izayoi)

They should be able to create

a contract, but what should be done?

「Tear, concentrate on wanting

to make it a friend.」 (Izayoi)

「...Ok. Will try.」 (Tear)

Tear closed her eyes.

As she did so, light began to

gather around her. The light then dissipated outward, coalescing into a ring

surrounding the goblin king.

「...Became friends.」 (Tear)

「Making friends seems

unexpectedly simple.」 (Izayoi)

Having always possessed the

ability, the contract was completed without difficulty.

「...Not do, bad things any

more.」 (Tear)

「*Guraa...*」 (Goblin King)

「...Apologize.」 (Tear)

「*Guraraa...*」 (Goblin King)

The goblin king's ambition

disappeared, and he became calm.

「It was very scary, but I'll

forgive you if you apologize.」 (Fiere)

「*Guraa...*」 (Goblin King)

The goblin king bowed before

Fiere, who started lecturing with her arms crossed.

「...The others, too.」 (Tear)

「*Guraaaa!*」 (Goblin King)

The goblin king roared, and

the other goblins calmed down. Is this alright?

「Amazing! Tear-Senpai made the

goblins behave!」 (Uri)

「...Elder sister and Reri need

to try harder too.」 (Reri)

Having given the order for

the goblins to return to the valley, they all turned around and left in

succession.

「If they didn't listen I would

kill them all.」 (Izayoi)

「...Izayoi says.」 (Tear)

「*Gu, guraraa...*」 (Goblin King)

「Won't do, bad things any

more, says.」 (Tear)

We watched the goblins leave.

「You worked hard, Tear.」 (Izayoi)

「...If work harder, will

everyone, be happy?」 (Tear)

「If you befriend all of the

monsters, maybe. Well, the world is large, so it might not be possible during

your lifetime.」 (Izayoi)

「...Will try hard.」 (Tear)

「Tear, you really want to do

it?」 (Izayoi)

「...Is it, no good?」 (Tear)

「It's not that it's bad but...」 (Izayoi)

If she wants to do it, I'll

help.

「If you want to do it, you

have to become strong. And wash—」 (Izayoi)

「—Two days, one time.」 (Tear)

The goblins were able to

return home safely. And I was able to obtain Fiere.

「Now then, should we go home

and make something to eat?」 (Izayoi)

「So, who is that girl?」 (Lilia)

「This is Fiere. She's an old

acquaintance. I picked her up on the way.」 (Izayoi)

Returning to the house, I was

met by Lilia who had not died yet. She must have some regrets still. I'll let

her rest in peace soon.

(TN: Reference to

spirits/ghosts haunting places due to having regrets.)

「Tear, become friends with

Lilia. Then she'll be able to rest in peace.」 (Izayoi)

「...Ok.」 (Tear)

「Wait a second! Please don't

continue with the joke!」 (Lilia)

「...It is alright. Reri will

become your friend too.」 (Reri)

「That's right! Uri will be

your friend too! Rest in peace!」 (Uri)

「Fiere too, Fiere too.」 (Fiere)

「...Everyone, friends.」 (Tear)

「I refuse.」 (Izayoi)

「Please stop! Before that,

what happened with the goblins?」 (Lilia)

「I properly intimidated the

goblins. They won't leave the valley anymore.」 (Izayoi)

「Intimidated the goblins, but

how?」 (Lilia)

「With words of course. Really,

you're even less perceptive than goblins. They listen to what I say when I

threaten to kill them, but even after you’ve been killed you keep saying

whatever you want.」 (Izayoi)

「Like I said stop killing me

off!」 (Lilia)

「This conversation is over.

Various things have happened today. For now, we'll go with a salty seasoning.」 (Izayoi)

「Wait, don't grab me so

directly! Stop, stop it!」 (Lilia)

「*Hawawa~* Fiere wants to do

it too.」 (Fiere)

「Betrayal the moment I trusted

you? Please stop!」 (Lilia)

「Dance Lilia, dance.」 (Izayoi)

「What are you doing! I don't understand anymore!」 (Lilia)
