“Please don’t throw it away..!! I-I’m good at it!”

Daisy made a bombshell statement. I was momentarily taken aback and turned to Kara.

“..?”

Fortunately, she doesn’t seem to know what ‘good’ means. When she felt relieved, Seris next to Kara trembled.

“Now, do well..?”

“Seris?”

“Yu, isn’t it Yoosung..? You don’t have the heart to do that..?”

“You are saying something obvious.”

Cerise sighed, perhaps relieved by my assertion. Instead, Daisy’s arm wrapping around my waist gained even more strength.

“Why, why?! I’m really good! So…”

“Stop getting away from oppa!”

Kara, who couldn’t see it, grabbed Daisy and tried to throw her away from me. The more I did this, the more Daisy struggled, grabbing me harder.

“I will work hard! I will give you whatever you want, so please save me..!!”

“Profit..! I told you to fall!”

I hit them both with a chop on the forehead. Daisy is a little strong.

“Evil!”

The arm that was holding my waist fell. Daisy cupped her forehead and moaned.

“Both of you be quiet. It’s a shame the goblins are a little far away, otherwise they’d have gotten caught.”

Since I confirmed that there were no goblins around in the first place, I let them make a fuss. But I hid it because I had to get scolded.

“I’m sorry, oppa…”

“I’m sorry…”

Daisy seemed to have come back to her senses after being hit. However, as if he couldn’t give up his desire to survive, he glanced at me with anxious eyes.

I sighed.

“I won’t throw it away anyway, so don’t worry.”

“Really! I promised…”

I hit the chop.

“Quiet.”

“…Yes.”

Daisy returned to her original position, rubbing the top of her head. Still, it looked more comfortable than before. I was going to talk about getting out of the woods again…

“Now, do well…?”

Jack, the brown-haired man, was mesmerized.

* * *

“It’s a signal to stop.”

Jack, who was ahead, raised his hand. Everyone in the group stopped. Daisy looked at Yoosung, who was walking far ahead of the group.

‘They said I had good ears, and it was true…’

When he first told me, it was honestly hard to believe. Even if a person’s ears are good, isn’t it still there?

But soon after he took the lead, his thoughts changed. I really didn’t encounter a single goblin.

When this happened, I couldn’t help but believe it.

“It is a signal to follow. Let’s go.”

At the signal of the shooting star, the group started moving again. As they were walking through the forest, Jack came up next to Daisy. I was uncharacteristically hesitant. Daisy, who was frustrated by that sight, asked him.

“Why?”

“What, have you ever had a boyfriend?”

“What?”

What is this guy talking about again? Daisy’s brow furrowed.

“Are you curious about that in the current situation?”

“No, you said that before. He’s good at it…”

Jack concluded his last words with difficulty. Daisy was dumbfounded.

“Of course, it’s just a story.”

“Yeah, really?”

Jack’s expression brightened.

“Yes. Did you see a man around me?”

“Not there… Yes, there wasn’t…”

Jay muttered, “That’s right.” He went ahead again and Daisy sighed as she looked behind him.

‘I can’t believe I left the village believing something like that.’

Daisy originally had no intention of becoming an adventurer. She was living a normal life in the village, but her childhood friend Jack persuaded her to leave.

They say that if you become an adventurer, you can have wealth and fame.

They say a glamorous life awaits you in the city.

I fell for such nonsense.

‘Wealth and fame are nonsense.’

All the dowry that was stolen from the family was used to pay for equipment. Thanks to this, I live worrying about hotel expenses every day.

Luxurious life in the city? Is it glamorous to sleep in a stable because you have no money?

‘I wasn’t following that idiot…!’

The more I thought about it, the more I regretted it.

Still, I couldn’t go back. When I left, I also took my younger brother’s dowry with me. If you return home, you might be beaten up by your angry younger brother and his younger brother’s fiancé. Maybe I’ll be killed…

‘It’s all because of that idiot!’

Even if that idiot hadn’t tried to trick me…! Even if the adventurer hadn’t told me to steal it because he needed a lot of money…!

Daisy glared at Jay, who was ahead. Then she turned her gaze towards the women walking next to her.

‘…It’s pretty.’

Daisy was said to be pretty in her own way and was popular in the village. Doesn’t her childhood friend Jack like her right now?

However, compared to that woman named Kara, she was just a little bit lacking.

‘i envy you…’

Daisy was jealous of Kara. Her looks are good, but more than anything…

“Stop again.”

Daisy stopped and glanced ahead again. After sending the signal, Yoosung took out his daggers. I threw away the daggers in both hands.

He went through the bushes and retrieved the dagger he had thrown. A small trace of blood remained on the dagger.

Maybe that’s goblin blood.

‘That easy…’

It was compared to what Daisy and her companions did with all their hard work to catch.

‘I’m sure you’ll feel secure if you’re with a man like that…’

Daisy looked at Jack again. He must have felt his eyes on her, so he looked at her and grinned.

funny?

Daisy held back what she wanted to say.

After that, Daisy and her companions continued walking. It was when I thought that if I continued like this, I would be able to escape without encountering goblins. Yooseong, who was leading, approached the group.

‘uh?’

After taking the lead, he never once approached his companions. His arrival caused unrest among Daisy and her companions.

“What’s going on?”

The masked girl who was in Yoosung’s group asked. She has good hair and good skin, but I don’t understand why she wears a mask.

‘Do you have any scars?’

Otherwise, there is no reason to cover it. Daisy decided so.

Yoosung answered the masked girl’s question.

“There’s a group of goblins in front of me.”

The atmosphere became cold at his words. To be exact, it’s just Daisy’s group. Yoosung’s group didn’t seem to be very shaken.

The conversation between the masked girl and Yoosung continued.

“Then what should I do?

“I have to kill them all and pass by.”

Yoosung said as if it was obvious. At those words, Daisy and her companions opened their eyes wide and were surprised. Daisy came to her senses and asked.

“Do I have to drill it? If you just turn around…”

“Even if you turn around, the road is ultimately open. They’ll find us and call their comrades. On the other hand, if you just take care of those guys, you don’t have to worry about anything else. Because there’s no one else around here except those guys.”

“Well, really..? So how many of them are there?”

“Fifteen.”

Daisy was dazed by Yoosung’s calm tone.

‘Fifteen of them so calmly…’

Daisy and her companions almost died from just 10 animals.

‘Well, the three of us could easily take out ten of them.’

Daisy recalled the time she received help. Just when I was despairing that they were dead, I saw them suddenly jump out and kill the goblin in an instant.

Then, surprisingly, isn’t it worth doing? I thought:

If those three catch ten goblins, Daisy and her group only need to catch five.

Five…

‘It’s not a small number, but four… no, three is somehow…’

The wizard was subtracted from the number.

Daisy didn’t like that wizard very much. Because I kept hoping to be treated well even though I had no skills. If it weren’t for Jack’s foolishness…

“Before we fight, let’s clearly divide up roles.”

Yoosung distributed the roles to the seven, including him. Perhaps because the initiative was handed over to him, no one expressed any dissatisfaction with him.

No, there was one person.

“Hey, why am I doing nothing…”

“Shut up.”

“What?! You now…”

“Shut up.”

“…”

Even that became quiet as Yoosung frowned. After the role distribution was over, Yoosung looked around at the group and said.

“No problem, right? Anyone who is dissatisfied, tell me. If it’s reasonable, I’ll listen.”

Of course there wasn’t.

“Okay, then let’s each remember our roles properly and prepare for the surprise attack.”

Daisy and the others followed his lead. I hid in the bushes and trees and looked in the direction he pointed. Dozens of goblins were lounging around.

Daisy turned towards the shooting star to see the signal. As everyone’s eyes gathered, he waved his hand.

It was an attack signal.

At that signal, everyone except the wizard ran out at once.

-Kik, kik?!

The goblins who were lounging around were startled and stood up.

Daisy ran and repeated her role.

‘First kill one in a surprise attack, then hide between the shields and stab when you get the chance.’

After recovering, I stabbed the goblin as it stood up in a panic. Her sword was too long to be a one-handed sword and too short to be a two-handed sword.

After the goblin died, he quickly drew his sword. I looked around and got between Jack and Danny.

“Hey, hey! What are you doing if you’re not fighting?”

Danny shouted as he looked at Daisy.

“What are you doing! They’re looking for an opportunity. You really don’t do it right?!”

Danny, the bald boy, was wrestling with a goblin. Daisy burst out laughing. The mask girl over there is taking care of three dogs, no, now four dogs by herself.

‘It looks a little dangerous. Will it be okay?’

Maybe I should help you. By the time Daisy was worried, the shooting star had already moved.

-Klick?!

A goblin fell to its knees due to a meteor’s kick. The subsequent javelin pierced another guy’s stomach, and the thrown dagger stuck between the eyes of another guy.

‘How do you do something like that…’

Daisy was amazed as she watched the shooting star move. That’s a real adventurer… She looked around me. Jack and Danny each wrestling with a goblin, and himself hiding between them.

They were fake.

For some reason, Daisy felt like she wanted to become real as she looked at Yoosung’s appearance. He ran towards the lone goblin and swung his sword.

-Kik, kik?!

The goblin is dead. Okay, this is it. She felt refreshed and tried to pull out her sword. But the sword didn’t come off easily.

“Huh?!”

While she was panicking, a goblin came running towards her, holding a small hatchet in the air.

-Klick!

“Hiik?! Save me!”

Daisy reflexively raised her hand.

Slurp.

I heard the sound of something falling in front. Daisy slowly lowered her arms and looked ahead. The ax goblin from earlier had fallen. With a dagger stuck in the side of his head.

“Uh…?”

While she was riding, a shooting star approached her.

“Are you okay?”

“Oh? Ah, yes…”

“Be careful.”

He pulled out his dagger and threw it at the few remaining, fleeing goblins. Another new goblin fell to the floor.

‘awesome…’

Daisy felt that way as she looked at Yoosung’s back. His back seemed very wide.

* * *

After the fight with the goblins, Daisy and her group, Yoo Seong and his group arrived in the city safely.

Because it was late, I had to sleep outside the castle gate.

The next morning, after entering the castle, Daisy and her group thanked and said goodbye to Yoosung’s group.

“Well, you guys worked hard too.”

Watching the shooting star waving her hand, Daisy made up her mind. I approached him.

“Daisy?”

I ignored Jack’s voice coming from behind me. She stood in front of Yoosung and spoke to him.

“I also want to join Yoosung’s party.”

After saying that, I looked at Yoosung with nervous eyes. I heard Jack’s shocked voice behind me, but I ignored it again.

“Hmm…”

Yoosung looked a little embarrassed.

“Sorry, it’s a bit awkward to accept another fixed party member.”

And I refused.

To be honest, I expected it, but I couldn’t help but feel disappointed. When she lowered her head, Yoosung hit her on the top of her head.

This time it was weak. At the level of just touching it. Daisy raised her head.

“Still, let’s do the next request or two together. Because that’s okay.”

He said that and grinned.

“Then we will go. You too, get some rest.”

So he left with his companions. Daisy looked behind him and placed her hand on his heart.

My heart is pounding

It was running strong.

* * *

After visiting the abandoned castle, we rested at an inn until the festival was over. I don’t have anyone to do requests with, and I can’t go to the abandoned castle anymore.

“Huh?”

When I woke up this morning, I found a new notification window.

[The title has been obtained.]

[ is registered in the status window.]

Goblin Slayer…?

Feeling a strong feeling, I opened the status window.

The title had “Goblin Slayer” written on it. I clicked to see a detailed explanation.

=============================================

This is a nickname that was spread to Kalita’s Adventurer’s Guild by someone. Kalita is only famous in the Adventurer’s Guild, so her influence is low.

Influence: Ha

effect

– Gain 1 additional karma for every 3 goblins killed.

=============================================

Someone spread this nickname…?

I quickly finished preparing and headed to the adventurer’s guild. Perhaps because the festival was over, the guild was once again noisy with adventurers.

‘I have a rough idea of who someone is.’

It’s probably Daisy or one of the party members. As I was about to search the guild, someone slapped me on the back. I frowned and saw it, as expected.

“Woman, aren’t you the goblin slayer?”

“Belita, can you stop hitting me on the back?”

“Yes, no. Your back tastes the best.”

“…I’m telling you. You said he was a goblin slayer… but who did you hear that from?”

“Over there.”

Belita pointed with her index finger to the place where adventurers were gathered. I walked towards it and looked. As I got closer, I heard a familiar voice.

“Yuseong senior there!!”

It was Daisy. She is saying something while surrounded by adventurers. That something was a depiction of me killing a goblin.

What is he doing over there…?

“Daisy, what are you doing there?”

“Ah, Senior Yoosung!”

Daisy came over, her expression brightening when she saw me.

“Senior..? Or rather, what are you doing now…”

“I was informing others about Yoosung’s activities! Isn’t it a waste for only me to know?”

Daisy answered confidently. I was about to grab the back of my neck when someone tapped my shoulder. It was a man I didn’t know.

“Now I see that he was a goblin slayer, not a human butcher? It must be nice to have so many nicknames. Haha!”

“Oh? A human butcher? Did you have a nickname like that?! Then please tell me quickly..!”

Daisy made a sad face.

“Daisy.”

“Yes?”

“Come here for a moment.”

“Yes?”

Daisy came over and asked why. I tuck her head into my side and hook my arms around her.

“Yu, Senior Yoosung?”

“Ha… I never thought I’d end up putting a woman in a headlock.”

“Yes?! What is a headlock…”

I gave strength to my arms.

“Kkieeek!! it hurts! It hurts!!!”

“They say it hurts.”

“Wrong! Please look at it just once, just once!!”

“Do you know what you did wrong?”

“ didn’t know that you had a cool nickname like Human Butcher, so you made up a nickname like Goblin Slayer!”

“It looks like it’s still loose.”

“Kiss, skills!!!”

* * *

“Grandma, are you really going alone? Do you have any company?”

The old man chuckled at the carriage owner’s worried voice.

“I’m still competitive. So let’s go now. How many times are you going to ask?”

“Ha… I understand.”

The carriage owner reluctantly pulled the horse. The old man sat in his chair and fell into thought.

‘A new star has risen.’

It floated in a corner so that if it weren’t for the old man, he would never have found it. Even the old man was lucky enough to find it.

‘I heard that Paewang hasn’t surfaced even once since the last time it happened 500 years ago…’

500 years ago was a time when multiple beings, such as the Demon King, Dragon King, and Beast King, had supremacy. A smile bloomed on the old man’s face. Because the historic day of meeting a being with supremacy is just around the corner.

But soon the laughter disappeared.

This is because I remembered the Heavenly Killing Star that had risen next to the Paewangseong. Since ancient times, beings born with the ability to kill a thousand creatures have become monsters.

Even now, there is one human being with the nature of being a celestial being.

That was the boss of the infamous Dark Society.

‘It’s fortunate that no one person has the Supreme King’s Star and the Heaven’s Killer’s Star.’

Because that would surpass the level of a monster.

Isn’t there an example of the devil?

But there was a catch. The Salsangseong is standing next to the Paewangseong.

‘There is a celestial spirit surrounding the owner of the royal palace.’

The old man was burning with a sense of duty.

She planned to raise those with the power of supremacy to be good and enlighten, if possible, those with the power to kill.

The fortune teller looked forward to the future in the carriage.
