episode_0018

There were still more goblins left than us, and we were still outnumbered.

However, in terms of overall ability and momentum, it was no different from having already won.

Wow!

“This guy!”

Choi Min-su, who is hitting a goblin with a modified wooden door, shouts loudly. This is a force that is quite difficult to find in a man with a small body.

A goblin hit by a wooden shield floats in the air and falls far away.

But the goblins did not stop their attacks at all.

“Sera, here’s one more!”

Pow! Wow!!

Keee!!!

While examining the situation, I smashed the legs of one goblin again. This is my third.

“Thank you, brother!”

Leaving behind Sarah’s gratitude for cutting off the head of the second animal, I ran towards Choi Min-soo and Kim Ga-ryeong.

Since they were the only ones carrying torches, they were easy targets, so the goblins had no hesitation in attacking them.

He paid no attention to his colleagues flying far away, and still did not slow down his momentum.

You can’t just leave it like that.

Suddenly!

thud!

Kiyaaa!!

I quickly grabbed the back of one goblin and cut off its leg.

Now there are three goblins attacking Minsu Choi.

“These are really!”

Kwaaaang!!

With one hand, he uses his shield to push the goblin away, and with the other hand, he uses the iron baseball bat he was holding to hit the goblin’s head.

And one of them heads towards Kim Ga-ryeong, who was unable to avoid it.

“For example!”

The speed at which the goblin headed towards Kim Ga-ryeong was faster than that of Choi Min-soo, who screamed in surprise.

However, it was Kim Ga-ryeong’s hands that were faster than that.

Wow!!

Kihee!!

“Where is this creeping in!”

Although he is a healer, the golf club he had prepared for personal protection just in case explodes into the goblin’s head.

Pow! Wow!!

The goblin, which had been staggering after being hit once on the head, continues to stagger after receiving follow-up blows from Ga-ryeong Kim, and soon stops moving. Probably dead.

“ For example… Phew… Safe… ”

“Nahee’s dad! Back!!”

Kieeek!

The goblin that had been pushed away with the shield earlier lunged at Minsoo Choi again, and this time its sharp claws succeeded in reaching the body beyond the shield.

Sigh!

“Ugh!”

Choi Min-soo, who quickly dodged the shoulder but was inevitably injured, grabbed the baseball bat he was holding in one hand again.

However, Ga-ryeong Kim’s anger attacked the goblin before that.

“You bastard! Who dare touch my husband–!!”

Kwaang!!

An exciting sound that was hard to believe coming from a golf club erupted along with the goblin’s head, and green brain fluid spurted out like a fountain from the goblin’s sunken head. Without even being able to utter the common words.

“Oppa! Is it okay there?!”

“Don’t worry about this place! Pay more attention there!”

“Okay!”

Sarah, who was dealing with the rest of the goblins with ease, answered sweetly as she cut off the head of another goblin. Certainly, among them, the one with the most talent in combat is Sera.

“This! How dare this!!”

“For example!”

The goblin attacked Ga-ryeong Kim, who seemed to be in a rage as she swung the golf club at the goblin’s body once more, and Min-soo Choi ran out with a shield to protect his wife, but he was slightly late.

So this time, I decided to help and raise awareness.

“Earth spirit!!”

With my shout, the black earth spirit moves and the ground in front of the goblin sinks.

Kihehe?!

The goblin, unable to properly deal with the sudden pit, fell, and this time it was headed towards Choi Min-soo’s shield.

And Choi Min-soo did not miss the opportunity and hit the goblin with a shield, then hit the goblin on the head with a baseball bat, killing him.

dump!

Sarah and Choi Min-su each killed one more goblin, and all 10 goblins were finally dead.

“Oppa!”

“Sera, you’re not hurt, right?”

“Of course. From the beginning, you were watching all of my brother’s battles. If you feel like you’re going to get hurt, step forward.”

… You’re really quick-witted. I wasn’t going to show off.

When my intentions were discovered, I just pretended nothing was wrong and turned the topic to Choi Min-soo and Kim Ga-ryeong.

“Choi Min-soo. Mr. Ga-ryeong Kim. Is everyone okay?”

“Oh, of course! thank you! Help me protect my wife… !”

“You burn! Of course, of course! Healing–!!”

Whoa!

The light from the fiery hands of Kim Ga-ryeong enveloped Choi Min-soo’s shoulders.

“You hurt your shoulder! That’s why I told you to take care of yourself first and not worry about me! Why on earth are you doing that!”

“Oh, no… Well, it wasn’t really a serious injury. Just scratched by a real tree branch… ”

“A professor of surgery doesn’t even think about tetanus! I knew there was some kind of virus in those monsters! If there is something like poison! What if my skills don’t work then! You will take responsibility!!”

“No… That’s another problem… , and I work hard to save you…”

“Noisy–!!”

Kim Ga-ryeong, who is furious, and Choi Min-soo, who has become a bowed-down husband.

I left the two of them alone for a while to relieve some of the confusion, and talked to Sarah.

“Sera, how are your skills?”

“It’s a lot better than I thought? It’s not as visible as it is during the day, but it’s enough to identify weaknesses and attack them.”

Sarah’s skill was also one of the reasons why I was able to go out in the early morning when there was no light.

Sera has a total of three skills. These were Night Eye, Basic Knife Mastery, and Detecting Weak Point.

The latter two skills helped him perform very well in battle, and in particular, Night Eye could be said to be the optimal skill for assassins who are likely to be active at night.

And Sarah clearly demonstrated it with calmness and coolness.

“Good job, Sarah. You have great sense, don’t you think? He was also calm against scary monsters.”

“Ahem. That’s the basics. I also dealt with zombies, but other than being a bit quick, they weren’t difficult at all.”

I patted the shrugging Serah as a compliment and returned to the couple who had calmed down a little from the excitement of the first battle.

When they see me, both of them shrug their shoulders and lower their heads. I think I know what I did wrong.

“Have you calmed down a bit?”

“Ah… Sorry, teacher! I have a personality that goes out when I get angry… ”

“No. Your husband was injured, and I completely understand. Still, do you understand what you did wrong?”

“…Yes.”

There was only one thing she did wrong.

She was unable to control her anger towards the goblin that harmed her husband, so she lost some time to him.

It’s something that’s completely understandable, and it didn’t take too long.

But results are everything.

Choi Min-soo could have gone too far to protect Kim Ga-ryeong, or Kim Ga-ryeong could have been injured by the goblin.

If we don’t change this habit now, we don’t know what big trouble it will turn into and befall us later.

I need to speak a little louder.

“Please be careful. You are nothing more than our life and the life that is waiting for your daughter waiting there. Please keep in mind that Ms. Kim Ga-ryeong’s life is no longer hers alone.”

“I’m really sorry. I will never, ever do something stupid like that again.”

When I mentioned my daughter, he bowed his head even further and apologized repeatedly.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that your daughter’s rescue schedule will change or anything like that, but you should feel a sense of crisis. If your daughter is injured, the person who can heal her is Ga-ryeong Kim.

“Sorry, Hyunseong! It’s all because I wasn’t good enough and couldn’t protect my wife!”

Choi Min-soo bows his head to 90 degrees and apologizes, as if telling her to be angry at him instead of his wife.

Well, out of all of us right now, the one who is the most immature is Choi Min-soo.

“Choi Min-soo. Where is the time to be relieved to see that your wife is safe? Goblins are coming right in front of you.”

“I’m so sorry! No need to make any excuses, it’s all my mistake!”

“As I told Kim Ga-ryeong, Choi Min-soo’s life is not his alone. Since you are the head of a family, you probably know what it means.”

“…Yes. Really, even if I had a mouth, I have nothing to say. I will never, ever make this mistake again.”

Choi Min-soo bowed his head even more deeply.

It can be quite unpleasant to be criticized by a man 20 years younger than you, talking about being the head of the family and all.

But there was none of the usual irritation or resistance in his eyes.

Just rebuke for one’s own mistakes and guilt for not being able to properly fulfill one’s responsibilities. And all I had was the fear that I could have hurt my family because of my mistake.

Although they must have been quite scared of the monster they had never seen before, both of them fought well.

So what I said was enough.

“But overall, you did everything well. It looks like you have become somewhat familiar with weapon techniques.”

“Yes! This is my first time using a shield, and strangely enough, it fits well in my hand. My strength has also improved, to the point where I can send goblins flying away at once. Haha.”

“Sorry, teacher. I won’t make the same mistake again. I’m really sorry… ”

Ms. Ga-ryeong Kim once again bowed her head more deeply than her husband.

Although they both made mistakes, overall they fought well. It came together well.

Is it because they are a couple? We are quite similar in that we almost got hurt and made mistakes because we were worried about each other.

So I didn’t have any bad thoughts. Rather, it was nice to see a human side. Should I say it is a little more trustworthy?

In terms of ability and attitude, there is a lot more potential for improvement than stupid guys who say it’s not their fault.

These people’s mistakes just need to be corrected. Then you will have made enough progress.

“It’s okay. Others wouldn’t have been able to show this in their first battle. You did a good job. every. However, in the future, more… ”

Still, there are still many things to fix. Including Sarah.

I gathered everyone together and talked about what we did well and what we fell short of. Everyone learned the parts that needed to be corrected quickly and without opposition.

While everyone was taking a moment to reflect on the results of their first battle with the monster,

Toouk!

A lump of dirt fell at my feet.

It’s out of the blue. Why all of a sudden… ?

Just as I was talking to everyone about the direction of development again, a lump of dirt came flying at my feet again.

What the hell?

I looked around to see if there was someone else, and at the end of the direction from where the dirt ball was supposed to have come…

“……”

｢***! ****? **! *****!!」

“Oppa? what’s the matter. What’s the problem?”

“No, nothing. I was organizing something to say for a moment.”

Earth spirits, earthworms that usually don’t react… No, the earth spirit was showing the most violent movements I had ever seen.

The movement felt like a protest against something and anger.

“……”

I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut, ignore the protest, and turn around.

｢***! ****? **! *****!!」

Wow.

Now the command is to throw a lump of dirt at the back of my shoe.

The other spirits seemed to be trying to stop Jiryeong, but they don’t seem to be able to stop him easily.

sorry… I’m really bad at coming up with names.

However, all the other kids have been unified as spirits, so I can’t just leave you out. It can be confusing…

So, if I get a chance next time, I will definitely change it to a better name. It’s not like the instructions are the same. Even if I look up novels I’ve read before.

Now is not the time. sorry. I’m not saying that rethinking names is a hassle or anything.

…maybe.

“Now, let’s start again. As before, I will stand in front, so please pay as much attention to the sound as possible.”

I offered a sincere apology to Ji-ryeong in my heart and promised to change my name someday, and took steps to hunt monsters again with everyone.

A man should never look back while on his way. Probably so.

Toouk!

“Oppa. From earlier, strangely, lumps of dirt kept falling on my brother’s feet for some reason… ?”

“Ah, it’s okay. It’s not a big deal, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

There was nothing to worry about. maybe.

｢***!? ****! *****!! *****–!!!!」
