episode_0019

In the NTR Tsukuru Yagem world, the forest is nothing but a lawless area filled with all sorts of dangers. On the field, monsters who enjoy lewd acts roam around.

The proud noble titles bestowed by the kingdom, the thug-like knights swarming around, cannot even protect the kidnapped lady’s hole.

Once captured by monsters, it was all over.

“Men are lucky if they get eaten and it’s over.”

Females with wombs? They can’t die gracefully. They continue their lives in the worst possible way.

“Sigh. It’s the first scene that appears in an NTR Tsukuru game.”

Monsters capable of crossbreeding have no females within their species. They use kidnapped women as breeding vessels.

Goblins breed goblins, orcs breed orcs, humanoid walking beasts. They don’t discriminate against female species.

“When they’ve served their purpose as breeding vessels, meaning when their wombs are completely ruined and no longer valuable. That’s when they’re killed.”

A horrific fate.

That’s how dangerous the forest is. People are advised not to go near the forest if possible.

“But there are always kids who won’t listen to adults.”

Easily influenced young boys and girls tend to get involved in incidents frequently. Is it because they’ve never left their tumultuous rural village?

They get carried away by the stories of travelers and merchants who occasionally pass by. Captivated by romance and adventure, they end up causing accidents.

“They don’t even think about what’s going on inside their parents.”

Rejecting the son and daughter-in-law of the village chief who wanted to follow him, he set out alone. It was much faster and easier to be solo.

It’s just a hassle to bring along people who are of no help.

“Why won’t they listen? Jenny?”

“Maybe she wanted to give birth to goblin babies, who knows.”

“Olivia, that’s too harsh. What’s with the insults towards Lisa, who’s the same age as you…”

“Then maybe she should listen well. If she goes against advice not to go to the forest, sigh.”

After being betrayed by heroines and forced to go solo, he never sought companions again. He didn’t need help as he became too strong.

But suddenly, party members appeared. Whether they should be called members or not, he wasn’t sure.

Three first-year students stuck behind me.

“My father always said. Protecting the weak is the duty of the strong, with great power comes great responsibility. As a knight myself, I want to fulfill my duties.”

“…You were a knight?”

“Yes, before returning, I held the position of a knight and received a fiefdom. I had a barony and a village before.”

Nodding roughly at Charlotte confidently speaking.

“I’ll find Jenny. I’ll exterminate all the goblins who kidnapped Jenny.”

“…Before that.”

Slash-. Swish-!

He swung a kitchen knife suitable for the kitchen and cut through the bushes. A bug clinging to a leaf startled by my cutting scurried away.

“Cut the grass in front. The goblins went this way.”

“…Yes.”

Goblin traces were found. They were indeed foolish fellows.

I left the annoying task to Charlotte. She stood at the front and cut through the bushes.

We followed behind Charlotte, step by step.

“You have to watch out for ticks. There are a lot of them in the grass that touches your knees.”

“…I know.”

Except for the monsters, it was close to an ordinary forest. It was the kind of nature one could often see even in the city.

It was quite surprising to think that monsters lived in this forest.

Crunch, crunch-!

Goblin sounds could be heard from beyond. Upon inspecting the group, their numbers were quite substantial.

Green-skinned monsters themselves have excellent reproductive capabilities.

“Little pests like fleas.”

If you miss one or two, they multiply into dozens. They must be uprooted as soon as they are discovered.

Kerk?

The goblins we found were a scouting party. Generally lightly armed reconnaissance units.

Their main base must be stationed in a hideout.

“Based on the scouting party’s information, we’ll attack the surroundings and bring back females.”

There is a high possibility that Jenny was abducted through such a process.

“Should we leave one alive for now?”

Intentionally leaving one alive to use as navigation. Inspired by how a hornet uses a wasp for hunting.

“This is the wisdom of nature—.”

“Fireball.”

While admiring my own idea, someone cast a spell.

Fire!

A fireball larger than an adult male engulfed the goblin. The goblin hit by the fireball let out a terribly agonizing scream.

Kiaaaaaaah!

“Ouch.”

How painful must it be to scream like that? It was a talent rivaling singers.

It felt like their vocal range surpassed even when singing “Money” at a karaoke bar after drinking.

Try aiming for a perfect score like this─.

I shook my head. Enough with the jokes, let’s find Jenny.

“Leave one alive.”

“Fireball.”

This time, it wasn’t just one. Numerous fireballs rained down.

Flames. A red rain falls. Like a bright red line drawn on my high school exam paper.

Kerk!

The goblins who go crazy at the sight of females spotted us. They eyed the No. 1 machines behind me.

Their yellow eyeballs flickered with lust.

It took only 3 seconds from the activation to hitting with the fireball. The goblins revealed their desires.

“Disgusting vermin.”

But their desire didn’t last long. It quickly faded away.

Kiyaaaaaah!

The goblin scouting party vanished without a trace after being hit by Olivia’s fireball. They turned into ash.

All they left behind was one overwhelming vocal ability. Since they couldn’t preserve their vocal cords, it was practically lost.

I glanced at Olivia. Why did you kill them all so hastily?

“…I said leave one alive.”

“Why spare goblins? They looked at me with those eyes? Hmph.”

Olivia had no intention of listening to me. Simply because the monsters made her uncomfortable, she just burned them alive.

“Olivia or Jenny.”

She seemed to ignore adult talk.

Olivia has a seizure. Mentioning Jenny worsened her symptoms.

She’s going wild, spitting everywhere, causing a scene.

“What did you say? What’s with those eyes? Are you treating me and Jenny the same? With that talentless woman?!”

“….”

“Don’t ignore me! Answer me! Dyke, answer me!”

Ignoring the barking Olivia.

“That way.”

They traced back the traces left by the goblin scouting party. Not far away was the goblins’ main base.

—

Sitting around a bonfire with strangers in a new place, telling stories that will be forgotten when dawn breaks. That’s adventure. Even the conversation we’re having right now, the two of us, that’s an adventure.

Adventure? What kind of adventure for a kid like you? Just live in the village. It’s dangerous.

When Jenny brought up the topic of adventurers, they showed two reactions.

Those who romanticize Jenny and those who ignore her feelings.

“Ridiculous, really. Do you think I can’t do it?”

By Jenny’s age, future aspirations change once a day. But this time was different.

Jenny’s dream had been holding steady for quite some time.

“Hahaha! Adventure on the topic of girls? Don’t mothers tell you how scary it is outside the village?

Kid, just dream. If you don’t want to marry an ugly goblin brother!”

“Kkahahaha!”

Jenny, who was ignored by rough mercenaries, felt indignant.

“Marry? Why does everyone suddenly talk about marriage, including my mom?”

Jenny disliked the small village where she was born and raised. She was tired of the repetitive days. She envied adventurers traveling freely.

How much hardship for a moment of romance…

Jenny didn’t know. She never paid attention to unpleasant stories. She only picked up what she wanted.

Jenny’s mind was filled with the romance of adventurers.

“So easy!”

She smoothly slipped out of the book that surrounded the village. Since there were many adults at the main gate, she tried to escape through a hole.

“This is an adventure!”

No adult could stop Jenny’s adventure. No one knew.

Until the caretaker who periodically checked the state of the book discovered Jenny’s ribbon in front of the hole—.

“Hmm, a valley.”

Sometimes she would come out of the village with adults. At those times, she felt nothing special.

But now, her mood was strange.

“It’s romantic!”

The difference between watching with others and sneaking out alone was clear.

Jenny went straight down to the valley. She dipped her feet in the cold water and played around.

Would a mysterious fish like Redfish come out? She even looked into the valley water with expectations.

“Ugh.”

That miracle did not happen. Disappointed, Jenny put on her shoes and came up from the water’s edge.

Clang!

And she faced a goblin. They were expanding their territory near the village.

“G-Goblin!”

As soon as she saw the goblin’s yellow eyes, her body froze. Her legs stiffened, unable to move.

A feeling she had never experienced before.

“So scary…!”

Jenny burst into tears. To Jenny, who had just celebrated her tenth birthday, the goblin was an impossible opponent.

It was too threatening.

Kekkekkek!

“Eek…! N-No… I don’t want to…!”

The goblins who found Jenny burst into laughter. Then they roughly aimed a crudely made stone spear at her neck.

Clearly female, there was no need to hesitate; they decided to kidnap her.

Clang!

“Ahh…! No! I’ll go! Please…”

The goblin, forcibly pushed Jenny, who stood still as if rooted to the ground. They made her move with force.

Because she was a young female. They didn’t injure her to use her for as long as possible.

Kekkekkek!

It was a windfall for the goblins. They had hit the jackpot, so they could only be happy.

“Waaah…!”

Dancing goblins. Watching that scene, Jenny became increasingly frightened and shrank back.

“Mom… Dad….”

As the goblin’s lair drew closer, Jenny’s body began to tremble. It was instinctual.

She realized she might end up living a life worse than death.

Human rib bones that seemed to have died a long time ago, with no flesh left, scattered arms and legs dripping blood….

There were chilling sights everywhere.

“Hik.”

Even the sight of women greedily eating thick white liquid from a small plate with their noses buried.

Unconsciously, Jenny hugged herself. That was the best defense posture she could manage.

“Ahh!”

The goblins locked Jenny in a cave prison. Young children were trapped there.

They were all in the same situation as Jenny.

Destined to become mothers for the goblins once they could menstruate and conceive. Some friends seemed to have lost their will, with unfocused eyes.

It seemed like it had been a long time since she was kidnapped.

Kelkelkelkel!

Kek! Keng!

The goblins laughed, showing their yellow teeth at the frightened Jenny. They raised their waist outside the window.

Jenny couldn’t hold back her tears any longer.

“Sob, sniff…. P-please… Mom…. Dad…!”

Her voice wouldn’t be heard. She had walked quite a long way from the village. Even if she screamed loudly, no one would hear her.

– Ahh, hah! Hak! Ahh!

– Stop it…! I hate it! Stop!

– Don’t fight inside!

Screams. Most of them were women.

It seemed like something bad was happening right next to her. She didn’t want to imagine.

Jenny hurriedly covered her ears. She huddled her body and buried her head between her knees.

Even if she closed her eyes, the goblins wouldn’t disappear.

‘Please save me. Help me. Goddess, I won’t go on adventures again. I’ll listen to my parents and not ignore adults. So…’

And she prayed. Maybe the goddess would hear and save her. She continued to cry out with futile hope.

– Jenny.

Was her prayer answered? A woman’s voice echoed in her mind.

“Goddess?!”

Jenny raised her head abruptly and shouted.

Whether the goblins were watching or not, tears welled up in joy.

– Don’t call me that damn bitch.

The woman denied being a goddess while spewing out very harsh curses. There was some distance from the sacred goddess.

– Even if you hear sounds, don’t come outside. Stay quietly inside the cave.

“…Yes!”

With those words, the sound of revelry outside the cave could be heard.
