A goblin with many wounds on his body. The food of his horde was stolen by the gray wolves, so he made a decision to follow the protagonist. He is the most experienced amongst the goblin rares. His weapon is a curved katana. He acts like a samurai.
Recently became a noble, and received the divine protection of the Sword God, Ra Baruza.
The druid goblin rare that recently joined them.

The Gaidga goblinâs fist swung at him, expecting a slaughter. But to his surprise, Gi Zu stopped it. Then with a push, he sent the Gaidga goblin flying back.
âI-Impossible!â said the Gaidga goblin out loud, unbelieving.
But while he was caught in a stupor, Gi Zu approached him, and struck him with his spear.
The spear penetrated his shoulder and into his bones, leaving the Gaidga goblin unfit for battle.
âR-RunâŚâ said a Gaidga goblin.
A group that is managed only through fear of the commander will easily topple over once that commander is gone. And as soon as one of them starts running, the rest will come following. Like that this squad of Gaidga goblins fell apart, and they ran for their lives.\nâThereâs no need to pursue!â ordered Gi Za as he stopped the goblins from pursuing. âWeâve done enough. Go check on the injured instead.â
After they drove off the Gaidga goblins, Gi Za gathered the Gaidga goblins that couldnât run away and was still breathing in one place.
âFive are lightly injured⌠Thatâs not too bad.â
As he nodded, satisfied, he spoke to the Gaidga goblins.
âListen well. From now on, you will all be answering to my questions. If notâŚâ
He signaled to Gi Jii with his eyes, and Gi Jii struck one of the Gaidga goblins in the foot with the long sword in his hands.
The Gaidga goblin screamed, and the others couldnât help but have their faces cramp at the sight of a friendâs agony.
âAre there any other hordes who will be attacking the village?â
Overcome by fear, the Gaidga goblins shook as they shook their heads.
âAre you colluding with the Paradua goblins?â asked Ra Gilmi.
The Gaidga goblins were lost for a moment, but soon after, they shook their head.
However, Gi Za was not all too pleased by Gilmiâs behavior.
âIâd prefer it if you didnât ask unnecessary questions,â said Gi Za coldly.
âNo, it was necessary,â retorted Ra Gilmi.
Gi Za clicked his tongue. But he didnât pursue the matter any further.
As for why thatâs because Gilmi tried to ask another question.
âThe one to decide whether the question is necessary or not is us,â said Gi Za, annoyed as Gilmi replied with a âButâŚâ in an attempt to argue.
As the two glared at each other, suddenly, Gi Giâs two-headed ostrichDouble Head appeared right in between them.
âFightingâs not allowed⌠right?â he said.
âRight. Fightingâs no good. The king gets along even with humans,â added the stealthy Gi Ji.
The beast warrior, Gi Gi, and the stealthy Gi Ji had come to intervene.
It was well known that these two got along well.
âWeâre not fighting; weâre just having a difference in opinion⌠And now that I think about it, it was indeed wrong of me to interrogate alone.â
Having been indirectly told to follow the kingâs example, Gi Za was at a loss for words. At the same time, he also understood that there was no reason for him to cause strife with his friends here. And since he was told that by his senior â in terms of how long theyâve been serving the king â he couldnât say anything back.
âNo, I also said too much. The one in charge is Lord Gi Za.â
Even if it was Gilmi, he was still a newcomer. So him butting in was certainly disrespectful to Gi Za.
Moreover, he was well aware that he wasnât being himself. It was because he saw Alihaluha of Paradua. The moment he saw him, his heart raced, causing him to lose his composure.
âFor the meantime, letâs take them to the king,â suggested Gi Za. To which Gilmi and Gi Gi nodded in agreement. âThatâll be best,â âRight,â they respectively said.
With everyone in agreement, Gi Za took the prisoners with them.
Gi Za appointed Gilmi to lead the way back. As they went their way, Gi Za took a good long look at the traces of war behind them.
ââŚIt wasnât an easy victory though,â he muttered.
The battle by the Forest of the Twisted GiantUnknown Forest between us and the Gaidga is already ours.
The Paradua riders arriving is certainly painful, but their arrival doesnât mean that weâve lost.
And more than anything elseâŚ
âYou sure took your time,â I said as I eyed the return of the group of goblins that had gone out.
The Ganra goblins who were with them had expressions of excitement on their faces as they took the prisoners with them.
This victory should lessen their fear of the Gaidga.
âHow strict. Did the negotiations fail?â asked Gi Za mischievously as the corners of his mouth twisted.
âApparently, they just came here to declare war,â I said.
If there was such a thing as an evil smile, then that smile that was currently plastered on our faces would be just that.
Meanwhile, while I was conversing with Gi Za, Gilmi and the others who had brought the prisoners were treated like heroes by the Ganra as the crowd showered them with cheers.
As I conversed with Gi Za, we were both relieved to know that each other was doing well.
