I was taking a nap on the lawn near the church during the lunch break, when Lara came towards me.
āSirius-kun, are you free?ā
I was thinking of taking a nap, but well Iām free.
āYeah, Iām free. Whatās wrong?ā
Lara presented the picture book she had in her hand.
āNekoās adventure is so cute with the picture bookā
Is it a sequel to Nekoās passtime?ā¦ It decreases my IQ every time I read it.
I donāt hate it because itās soothing.
āOh. Lara really likes the cat series.ā
āYeah! I like cute things!ā
Unlike the last time when the cat was just chilling out at home, this time the battle between monsters was drawn.
Even though itās a battle, itās just that they made friends by playing with each other a little ā¦
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.
āOh! Sirius you were hiding over here.ā
āI wasnāt hiding specifically. I just wanted to rest without being disturbed, what happened?ā
āAh, I wanted to train with you, but I used all the time to find you ā¦.ā
Training like playing tag?ā
āSirius, didnāt you slash the goblins? I want you to teach me that kind of sword technique. I also want to be able to fight goblins.ā
At that time, I was pushing hard with my energy, so I didnāt use any sword skills ā¦
The only thing I can teach is ćManipulationć , but is it okay to teach it to children?
āWhy does Grace want to be able to fight goblins?ā
āAs I said before, I want to be an adventurer, but when the goblins came out the other day, I could only be scared ā¦ I could have died without Sirius. Iām sorry for my habit of saying that I want to be an adventurer ā¦ At least I thought I had to acquire the power to protect people nearby so that I could protect myself at least. I canāt say I want to be an adventurer because Iām weak.
Hmm ā¦ Iāve 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 donāt think Graceās personality will abuse her power, and I think itās okay to teach her about ćManipulationć.
āIām still immature in sword skills, so I donāt have much to teach, but I think I can teach you how to use the power to protect yourself. Is that okay?ā
āNo, I can only do what I can, but Iāll do my best to teach you! Then, letās train from tomorrowās lunch break.ā
āYeah! Iām looking forward to it!ā
āGrace is great ā¦ But Sirius is no good, right?ā
āWell, I donāt mean it like that! Sirius, donāt get me wrong!ā
ā?? Iām not sure, but the lunch break is about to end, so letās go back to the classroom.ā
āā¦ Youāre ā¦ oh yeah, letās go.ā
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 ā¦ itās scary ā¦
However, when I think about it, Iām wondering a little if the goblins in the back mountains can be annihilated in our village.
If thereās a Goblin General, you canāt 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 ā¦
I think my father and mother are pretty strong, but from the perspective of me as a child, I think itās tough to think of them as ordinary villagers living in such a rural village.
But you know thatās what our hunters are ā¦ What are you going to do?
Maybe you ask the country for help?
Or maybe you canāt get help unless you confirm the existence of the Goblin Rook.
Letās ask my dad for a moment.
āThank you for the picture book, Dad. By the way, about the goblins in the back mountains, there may be a goblin rook, right?ā
āAh, were you looking into goblins? Well, maybe thereās a goblin rook.ā
āIf so, it seems that the subjugation will be severe if only our hunters are alone? Do you ask the country for help?ā
āNo, I wouldnāt do that. I mean, the subjugation team wouldnāt be dispatched to such a remote area ā¦ Well, if itās about Goblin Rook, I think your father and mother can deal with it.ā
āEh !? The picture book says that it is strong enough to challenge multiple parties to subdue it and finally defeat?ā
āAh ā¦ I didnāt say that, in the past, dad and mom were adventurers. At that time, they had defeated the Goblin Rook many times, so donāt worry.ā
āā¦ Isnāt it too strong for two people to win over it, that takes multiple parties?ā
āAh, dad and mom were messing around at that time. Donāt worry about that.ā
I thought they were both strong, but I donāt think theyāre that strong ā¦ Itās hard to believe, but my dad should know the strength of the Goblin Road, so I think itās okay.
Believe in my parents, and now letās train to be as strong as possible.
