I was taking a nap on the lawn near the church during the lunch break, when Lara came towards me.
âSirius-kun, are you free?â
I was thinking of taking a nap, but well Iâm free.
âYeah, Iâm free. Whatâs wrong?â
Lara presented the picture book she had in her hand.
âNekoâs adventure is so cute with the picture bookâ
Is it a sequel to Nekoâs passtime?⊠It decreases my IQ every time I read it.
I donât hate it because itâs soothing.
âOh. Lara really likes the cat series.â
âYeah! I like cute things!â
Unlike the last time when the cat was just chilling out at home, this time the battle between monsters was drawn.
Even though itâs a battle, itâs just that they made friends by playing with each other a little âŠ
The illustration of the cat that shoots the cat paw was very cute.
By the time I finished reading the picture book, Grace approached me.
âOh! Sirius you were hiding over here.â
âI wasnât hiding specifically. I just wanted to rest without being disturbed, what happened?â
âAh, I wanted to train with you, but I used all the time to find you âŠ.â
Training like playing tag?â
âSirius, didnât you slash the goblins? I want you to teach me that kind of sword technique. I also want to be able to fight goblins.â
At that time, I was pushing hard with my energy, so I didnât use any sword skills âŠ
The only thing I can teach is ăManipulationă , but is it okay to teach it to children?
âWhy does Grace want to be able to fight goblins?â
âAs I said before, I want to be an adventurer, but when the goblins came out the other day, I could only be scared ⊠I could have died without Sirius. Iâm sorry for my habit of saying that I want to be an adventurer ⊠At least I thought I had to acquire the power to protect people nearby so that I could protect myself at least. I canât say I want to be an adventurer because Iâm weak.
Hmm ⊠Iâve lived safely until now, but this village is actually a dangerous place with lots of monsters in the immediate vicinity.
Everyone is relieved because there are excellent hunters, but I think it is better for everyone to have the ability to defend themselves.
I donât think Graceâs personality will abuse her power, and I think itâs okay to teach her about ăManipulationă.
âIâm still immature in sword skills, so I donât have much to teach, but I think I can teach you how to use the power to protect yourself. Is that okay?â
âNo, I can only do what I can, but Iâll do my best to teach you! Then, letâs train from tomorrowâs lunch break.â
âYeah! Iâm looking forward to it!â
âGrace is great ⊠But Sirius is no good, right?â
âWell, I donât mean it like that! Sirius, donât get me wrong!â
â?? Iâm not sure, but the lunch break is about to end, so letâs go back to the classroom.â
â⊠Youâre ⊠oh yeah, letâs go.â
After that, Luke, who also wanted to be an adventurer, asked to become stronger, so he decided to train during the lunch break.

I was too lacking in knowledge about goblins.
Most of the goblins that usually appear in the back mountains are ordinary goblins, but the other day I first learned about the existence of a goblin leader.
I decided to ask my dad to borrow a demon pictorial book in order to find out about the threats that are nestling around me.
Goblins are weak monsters on their own, but they pose a threat when swarming.
Each goblin herd has its own hierarchy, and the stronger the head of the goblins, the larger it tends to be.
A herd of goblins in the back mountains, which grow large enough to hit the village directly and have hidden nests, can be said to be of considerable danger.
The picture book also included the main types of goblins.
A demon is ranked from SS to G according to strength, and adventurers who are certified to be able to subdue monsters of the corresponding rank are also ranked the same.
Goblins: F rank. It is a relatively weak monster, and even villagers can defeat it if they gather.
Goblin Leader: E rank. Although his fighting ability is low, his intelligence is high, and he sometimes gives instructions to goblins and cooperates with them.
Goblin Magician: C rank. The fighting ability of a single unit is about D rank, but it has a threat equivalent to C rank overall because it assists allies by magic and hides the nest.
Goblin General: C rank. The evolution of the Goblin leader. Combat ability has dramatically increased from the Goblin Leader, leading the Goblins.
Goblin Rook: A rank. An individual that rarely occurs as the length of a large nest. Even the average adventurer is strong enough to challenge multiple parties to subdue. The fighting ability of a single unit is about B rank, but since there are so many surroundings, it has a threat equivalent to A rank overall.
Goblin King: S rank. It is certified as a disaster class, and its strength is said to be comparable to that of a dragon. A very rare existence that rarely appears. Both fighting ability and intelligence are extremely high, and the area where goblins have occurred is dominated by goblins, causing great damage to humankind.
Goblins were synonymous with small fish in previous life knowledge, but they seem to be a threat in this world.
The goblin nests in the back mountains are also considered to be quite large, assuming from the conversations of the mothers, it may have occurred up to the goblin rook.
Considering the strength of a goblin leader who says that his fighting ability is low, how strong the goblin rook is ⊠itâs scary âŠ
However, when I think about it, Iâm wondering a little if the goblins in the back mountains can be annihilated in our village.
If thereâs a Goblin General, you canât imagine a future where even the adventurers who live by battles can finally defeat the Goblin Rook, which is strong enough to cross over at multiple parties âŠ
I think my father and mother are pretty strong, but from the perspective of me as a child, I think itâs tough to think of them as ordinary villagers living in such a rural village.
But you know thatâs what our hunters are ⊠What are you going to do?
Maybe you ask the country for help?
Or maybe you canât get help unless you confirm the existence of the Goblin Rook.
Letâs ask my dad for a moment.
âThank you for the picture book, Dad. By the way, about the goblins in the back mountains, there may be a goblin rook, right?â
âAh, were you looking into goblins? Well, maybe thereâs a goblin rook.â
âIf so, it seems that the subjugation will be severe if only our hunters are alone? Do you ask the country for help?â
âNo, I wouldnât do that. I mean, the subjugation team wouldnât be dispatched to such a remote area ⊠Well, if itâs about Goblin Rook, I think your father and mother can deal with it.â
âEh !? The picture book says that it is strong enough to challenge multiple parties to subdue it and finally defeat?â
âAh ⊠I didnât say that, in the past, dad and mom were adventurers. At that time, they had defeated the Goblin Rook many times, so donât worry.â
â⊠Isnât it too strong for two people to win over it, that takes multiple parties?â
âAh, dad and mom were messing around at that time. Donât worry about that.â
I thought they were both strong, but I donât think theyâre that strong ⊠Itâs hard to believe, but my dad should know the strength of the Goblin Road, so I think itâs okay.
Believe in my parents, and now letâs train to be as strong as possible.
