“Fuck off, I don’t need you.”

“Ugh, don’t be like that. How can you not just this once?”

I looked at the kid in front of me.

His strength appears weak, and the armor he wears shines like new.

The disheveled appearance is truly that of a newbie.

Tsk. It’s to the point where a guy like this sticks around.

How weak do you look?

“I don’t care if I’m alone. Just get out of here.”

“Ah, it’s good to be together with fellow newbies.”

“Who’s the newbie?”

“Oh, wasn’t it?”

The smiling face is disgusting.

A kid who must have just become an adventurer.

How dare you treat me like a novice?

“Fuck off, chick. I don’t have time to talk back to you. I need to talk to those guys.”

“Oh, they have already left.”

“what?”

I hurriedly left the guy behind and looked at the table they were sitting at.

… Before I knew it, those guys had already left the guild.

It must have happened while I was talking to this guy.

“They seem pretty strong. There’s no need to intentionally start a fight, right?”

“···Did you talk to me on purpose?”

“yes!”

I don’t know why.

I have no contact with those guys.

How could I know that I was planning on having a fight…

“He had such a grim expression. Haha, you shouldn’t risk acting like that to such a low-quality group of people. Also, his hair was shining beautifully. It was amazing.”

When I heard that, I unconsciously played with my hair.

The color of the tip was slightly changing.

Damn, this hair shows so much emotion.

It’s also not good to stand out too much.

“···It was a useless meddling. Because I am strong.”

“Is that so? I’m sorry about that, but fighting is bad!”

oh my god.

What on earth did I hear?

Fighting is bad?

···A guy who lives off of fried rice?

“Aren’t you an adventurer?”

“Yes! Although I’m new!”

“You’re going crazy, Chick. Let me give you one piece of advice. If you’re going to live here with that kind of mentality, quit right now. Go to the mountain valley over there and start farming.”

I felt like it wasn’t worth listening to anymore and turned to the receptionist.

You’re crazy.

A guy who claims that fighting is bad and who clearly has a flowery head wants to be an adventurer.

Even Ojiryan is so broad that he does things that don’t have to be done.

It would be perfect to go somewhere and stay overnight.

“No! You can’t do that! I’m going to be with the hero!”

Stop.

For a moment, the words I heard stopped me.

“···Warrior?”

“Yes! I really want to grow up and travel with the hero!”

Ha, that’s right.

I was a fool to have had any expectations when I heard the word ‘warrior’.

“You’re also looking for that hero who came out recently. You’d better give up.”

A redhead who calls herself a hero.

···Something, a strange attraction to that guy.

There must have been resentment from when we first met, but after transforming into this body, it disappeared like melting snow.

You’re probably talking about that guy.

“Huh? The hero that came out recently?”

Tilt.

The chick’s head tilted, and my head tilted accordingly.

“···Aren’t you looking for that hero?”

“The person I want to meet is a handsome knight with impressive blonde hair. He was a warrior a few years ago as well.”

This guy.

Did you say you weren’t looking for Airi, but wanted to have me as a companion?

···Why?

“Why? That hero must be full of bad rumors. The hero you think of is very different.”

“That can’t be possible! The hero I met was a really cool person. I really want to go out with him!”

···Have you ever seen me?

I don’t know what you’re thinking.

I dismiss many of the rumors that I think are serious and that they cannot be true.

…It was a strange feeling.

A tickling sensation in the chest.

“Well, since you said no, I can’t help it. I’ll try it on my own.”

As I stood still, giving myself over to the sensation, the chick spoke to me.

A slightly sullen expression. I think he thought I would help him, but he seemed disappointed that it didn’t work out.

“No, it’s okay. Let’s do it together.”

“···Yes? Are you okay?”

“If you don’t like it, don’t come.”

“No! I’ll be ready soon!”

In response to my response, I saw the chick hurriedly running to the receptionist.

A wide smile appeared on his face, and he looked very happy.

…There was no particular reason. It’s just a whim.

It would be a shame if the chick that caught my eye dies the next day.

Just a little bit of a whim.

That was it.

As I was thinking that, I felt like I heard someone panicking next to me.

***

“Now, that’s the goblin colony. Can you see it?”

“Yes, four! Wow, it’s true!”

“Check it straight. Do you think I’m teaching you for no reason?”

It was visible that the chick’s mind was disturbed.

I was irritated by the sight of him smiling as if he had seen something amazing.

“···Go in. Take cover.”

I didn’t hear an answer.

It will come soon anyway.

And actually, there is no need for cover.

“Keruk! It’s human! Human!”

He swung his sword at the goblin who was standing guard.

I can’t believe I have to deal with these nasty monsters.

Honestly, it’s annoying, but it can’t be helped.

You have to catch it quickly and go back…

Ting!

“Kerrruk! Emergency! Emergency! It’s an attack!”

“···What, what?!”

For a moment, I couldn’t understand the situation and a pitiful sound came out of my mouth.

I only realized this after hearing the goblin’s loud voice and seeing a large number of goblins coming out of the village.

…My attack was blocked.

To goblins and no one else.

“Oh my! I’ve been caught… Let’s get out of here and try the next opportunity!”

A chick is screaming next to me.

But I was so shocked that I couldn’t hear his voice.

Stopped by goblins?

My attack?

When I realized the situation, fire rose in my heart.

“Die, die, die!”

“K-Keruk…!”

I was filled with anger and fought the goblin for a long time.

It was humiliating for a hero to fight with all his might against a goblin, but there was no time to even think about it.

The fact that even the goblin couldn’t handle it properly.

He went berserk at that fact and swung his sword.

Before I knew it, the body of the goblin that was fighting me was falling apart.

When I came to my senses, I saw a chick fighting goblins.

Easily defeat the surrounding goblins one by one.

“What is it? What is it?”

The chick I ignored.

I was fighting against a goblin that I had been fighting for a while.

I spent a huge amount of time dealing with just one animal.

Every time the chick swings the sword, the goblins die one by one.

“Hey, I thought you were weak.”

It was like this.

An eerie feeling came over me.

What would have happened if the chick hadn’t stopped me at that time?

The frustration of being so weak that I couldn’t even catch a single goblin.

The story that the wizard had told me that there was no solution suddenly came to mind.

“Hey, Mr. Damian! Can you help me for a moment? It’s a little difficult…!”

The chick asked for help.

It seems that they decided that it would be difficult under siege.

…If only I hadn’t fought the goblin just now.

If I hadn’t objectively assessed my helplessness, I would have sighed and gone to help.

However, I cannot easily catch even a single goblin.

···Can you really help the chick among so many goblins?

While I was hesitating, several goblins approached me.

“Kerrruk…!”

If it were a man.

What I was like when I was a man.

Trash that couldn’t even meet my eyes.

How dare you look down on me.

…I wanted to say something like that, but for some reason I couldn’t open my mouth.

I just felt like my body was trembling and not moving as I wanted.

My body decided that I couldn’t win against multiple goblins.

The moment the goblins approached me and were about to swing their clubs.

Cutting through the wind, the arrow stuck in the goblin’s head.

“?!”

“Ha, you said you could do it. I can’t survive while beating a goblin so hard!”

I looked in the direction the arrow came from.

It’s an elf.

The same guy who called me weak this morning.

“How did you get here…?”

“I followed you. It didn’t seem like you would listen even if I told you. I followed you because I was afraid something would happen.”

“Mi, you’re following me…!”

“Don’t even think about saying anything. If it weren’t for me, I don’t think you would have been fine.”

The elf’s words instantly reminded me of the goblin ecology.

Goblins have no females.

This is because they breed using other humanoid monsters or humans.

…If there wasn’t that elf.

As my thoughts reached that point, I felt my body begin to tremble even more.

“Oh, oops… I didn’t mean to scare you this far…”

“Who, who said they were scared!”

Even when I said it, there was no credibility.

A trembling body, a voice full of anxiety.

I, I, am scared…!

“I’m sorry. But I saved your life, so please look after me.”

I couldn’t be angry at the elf.

Because she actually saved me.

“Ah, here comes your colleague. Then, excuse me! See you later!”

“Hey, hey!”

In an instant, the wind swept away and the sight disappeared.

Did they follow you with this magic?

“Damian! Oh my god, did you defeat all of those goblins?”

···Take it down?

I looked in the direction pointed by the fussing chick.

The corpses of goblins cut into pieces by swords were scattered around the colony.

His face, stained with fear, turned pale as if he didn’t know what had hit him.

… A woman holding a sword and calling herself a warrior came to mind.

Did that guy come too?

“For the first attack, you purposely fought for me! That’s amazing!”

“Yes?”

“I deliberately brought in only the minimum number of enemies to fight and let me gain experience! I was impressed!”

This guy.

You’re interpreting it in a strange way.

I suddenly remembered the past when I couldn’t even defeat the goblin and was bossy towards the chick.

Is it because of its appearance? They must have misunderstood that these were the goblins I killed.

···Because it was perfect for my situation, I decided to leave the misunderstanding alone.

“···? By the way, Mr. Damian, the color of your hair is changing again.”

“Noisy! Leave me alone!”

“yes···.”
