I turned on the light on my pocket watch to illuminate the inside of the breeding den.

Although there was still an acrid smell inside, it was full of blood and the smell of something rotting.

I retched several times, but Laura didn’t mind.

But now I’ve slowly gotten used to it and no longer need Laura’s help.

There were several goblin corpses at the entrance of the cave, so Laura collected the magic core, but no corpses were seen after that.

“Rebecca!”

what? Suddenly, blood gushes out in front of me like a fountain.

When I come to my senses, I see the corpse of a goblin with its head exploded and Laura collecting magic core from it.

She killed the goblin that came out of nowhere by hitting it on the floor and stepping on its head.

“Good job. How did that guy survive?”

“I feel like I was born just recently. It’s already dead. Heehee.”

I don’t know if it’s my mood, but Laura seems to be feeling better.

I’m not sure if fighting relieves her stress or if she just gets pleasure from killing, but the latter seems strangely appealing.

“The problem is that it is inconvenient to shoot a gun in a place like this. Thanks to you, I can travel comfortably.”

“I am familiar with places like this, so please trust me.”

“Okay. But is that… really a person?”

I was about to praise Laura when I noticed the victims behind her.

The poor people were stripped naked, their limbs cut off and half absorbed in strange lumps of flesh.

Looking at the corpses of goblin babies lying around underneath those people, it seems like they were continuously pregnant and giving birth to goblin babies in that state.

I rushed there, but there were only people who had already died from suffocation and people who were barely alive but unable to communicate.

These people must have been raped by goblins right before or even after they died, and their semen was still dripping from their crotches.

Among the victims were several adventurers, and when I saw them, I vowed to myself that I would never meet the same end.

“All of these people were used for breeding purposes. Can I free the living people?”

Liberation… Yes, this is that kind of world.

“No, I will do it.”

I shot those still alive and freed them cleanly.

I thought it would be better to do it myself rather than leave it to Laura.

I thought it would be a good idea to bury the victims, but it would take too much time for the two of us to handle it, so I think it would be better to ask the Adventurer’s Guild for help.

“Rebecca, here are the items the goblins have collected. Would you like to check it out?”

Laura, who had frugally collected magical cores from the corpse of a goblin cub, found a warehouse-like place at the end of the breeding cave and called me.

The place was full of relics believed to belong to the victims and miscellaneous items that looked like they had been picked up or stolen from somewhere.

I used my analytical skills to separate useful things from trash.

First, I found two magic pistols, and although they were all damaged, they looked like they could be repaired. Additionally, 66 small-diameter regular horsepower bullets are a bonus.

Everything else was just junk or trash, but I made sure to take the five adventurer pendants with me. It will definitely serve as evidence in this case.

“Doesn’t this seem like a bad harvest?”

“Yes, it will be helpful if you dispose of or repair the things you found.”

“Maybe I can buy you a sword.”

“You can just repair what’s there and give it to me…”

Laura said, pointing with her finger at the sword I had inadvertently passed by.

I thought it was nothing special because it looked like a stick, but I never thought it was a sword.

First, let’s use our analysis skills.

Name: Franca’s one-handed longsword

Quality: C grade (rust)

Function: Short-range flamethrower

Flamethrower? So, you can shoot fire with this.

However, it is rusty and cannot be used now.

Oh, really! I wondered if I could write something truly fantasy-like, but I’m so frustrated that it’s impossible right now.

“Laura, I have good news. This isn’t just a sword, it’s a magic weapon.”

“Really? Oh my goodness, I didn’t think it was that great of a thing.”

“Since you found it, I’ll give it to you as a gift once the repairs are done.”

“Thank you!”

Laura jumped up and linked arms with me in joy.

Her snow leopard ears are perking up and her long, furry tail is wagging, which is so cute.

“Let’s go out now. I don’t want to be here anymore.”

“Yes!”

I hurried out of the breeding den with Laura.

Breathing in the fresh air outside made me feel refreshed.

Plus, Laura keeps having fun with me, arms around me, which makes me feel really good.

“I collected 41 goblin magic cores, so this is enough to complete the quest, right?”

“Yes, because we collected 4 times more than the standard. In addition, since you recovered the dead adventurer’s pendant, you will be able to receive compensation.”

“Is there also compensation?”

“Yes, I don’t know the exact amount, but I think you can receive at least 1,000 Ragir for an E-class adventurer.”

For a low-level guild member like me, the price of life is equivalent to that of a beast…

Anyway, it’s a bit bittersweet to think that my life has improved thanks to the people who died.

Still, I shouldn’t think negatively about it since it’s a reward for doing something good.

“This person is level D. Oh my god, I never thought even D-class would be defeated by guys like goblins.”

“You can think of it as a case of receiving a surprise attack while being poisoned or injured. If not…”

“If not?”

“This is a case of being betrayed by a colleague.”

Larua said, holding my arm tightly. His expression hardened as if he had experienced something.

I wonder what kind of unfortunate past my lovely slave had.

“That’s the worst.”

“Yes, so if you submit this, a fact-finding investigation will be conducted at the guild level.”

“I won’t get caught up, right?”

“You just signed up today. Rest assured.”

Seeing Laura’s smile makes me feel relieved. I think I was worried for no reason.

I went back the way I came with Laura.

Perhaps because I completed the quest much closer than my original destination, I was able to get out of the forest quicker than expected.

I felt very welcome when traces of human civilization suddenly appeared before my eyes.

However, I am still tired, so I have to walk quite a bit to be able to rest on a soft bed.

We walked hard along the road and arrived at the Franca Gate before sunset.

Fortunately, thanks to my adventurer pendant, the inspection didn’t take very long.

I think registering with the Adventurer’s Guild was a good choice.

After passing the checkpoint, we arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild building and confidently entered the building.

Perhaps because it was late, there were not many people on the first floor, but the receptionists were still there.

And I faced the dwarf receptionist once again.

“You came earlier than expected? I’m glad you came back safely. I was worried because there were many people who couldn’t return after the first request.”

The receptionist wholeheartedly welcomed our return, and after checking the magic core in the bag I handed out, she also gave us the request completion fee as well as the price of the magic core.

I received 7,100 lagir with 30 adult goblin magic cores costing 200 lagir each and 11 baby goblin magic cores costing 100 lagir each. In addition, I received a total of 8,100 lagir by adding the quest completion fee of 1,000 lagir. earned it

I was a little disappointed because the price of the goblin’s magic core was lower than expected, but I still have the pendants and loot from dead adventurers left.

“The loot must be handled privately. And thank you for bringing the pendants of deceased guild members.”

“The location of the breeding den is indicated on the map here. Please collect the body. There were about 10 people. I liberated two of them.”

“Thank you again. I’m so glad that the new member is a good person like you. Compensation will be paid immediately after the investigation is completed. I will take care of the rest, so please go in with confidence.”

A good person? I was a little disappointed that the compensation didn’t come out right away.

I don’t deserve to hear those words.

Still, it felt good to hear praise and applause from those around me.

“Laura, let’s go to the second floor. I have to dispose of the loot.”

“Yes, Rebecca.”

Fortunately, the second floor was still open for business.

I stopped by the gun store first.

The elf man was about to close his business today when he made eye contact with me and sighed.

sorry. Because I delayed leaving work.

“I found these while making a request, so please take a look.”

I showed the man the two broken magic pistols.

I already used my analysis skills to know that it was an ordinary item, but I still wondered just in case.

“Both are not in bad condition and can be used immediately after repair. If I sell it, I can get about a quarter of the price.”

“Do you also make purchases?”

“If you want to sell anything, go to the purchaser over there. Anyway, how was your first request?”

The man pointed to a large store on the other side.

Now that the opportunity to earn money for repairs is gone, he seems to want to chat.

“It wasn’t bad. We also recovered a few adventurer pendants.”

“You did a good job. I will cut the remaining installment in half.”

“Are you serious?”

“If you don’t like it…”

“No! I will pay all the installments right now.”

I quickly took out 1,000 Ragir from my pocket and put it in the man’s hand.

You can’t miss this great opportunity!

“I received it well. Now, quickly go to the place of purchase. Soon all the stores on the second floor will close.”

Laura and I were pushed out of the store again.

It seems like the man is quite shy.

We went to the purchase place that the man told us about, disposed of the two magical pistols we obtained as loot, and received a total of 12,000 Ragir at 1/4 the price per gun, as the gun shop man said.

The total income from today’s request is approximately 20,000 lagir. It was a fairly large surplus.

“Laura, it’s late today, so let’s visit the blacksmith shop tomorrow.”

“Yes, Rebecca.”

“Let’s go back to the accommodation, wash up, and have dinner. Do you want to eat something?”

“Anything is fine as long as it’s not vegetarian.”

As expected, since they are snow leopards, they don’t like to eat grass. I kind of like it, though.

Anyway, tonight is a meat party!
