Category: Goblin Exterminator

In the morning, I woke up to Ladarion shaking me. Hafue? 「Takato, it’s morning.」 I looked at the clock and saw it was past eight. Ah… I overslept. I slowly pushed myself up and stretched wide. My whole body hurt, but it was just mild muscle soreness, so I only put on a few patches.…

The tear-gas round shot out with a shupoon! It arced downward and landed fifty meters ahead. It popped with a crack and released smoke. 「It looks kind of weak」 But the goblins there writhed in agony and screamed. It looked worse than dying. Since it worked, I kept firing tear-gas rounds one after another. After…

I could not see carbon dioxide, so I had no way of knowing if it was flowing down the mountain, but if it failed, I would learn from it next time. I still had other methods, so there was no problem. Still, if it worked, that would be good. No, I could only hope it…

We descended about a kilometer and entered the mountain. The goblins were not chasing us, but I still felt them gathering on the mountain from earlier. Were they eating each other? I had Ladarion return to her normal size and we moved up to the middle of the slope. 「Ladarion! Shrink! Kainzel-san, we will scatter…

──Ping. Congratulations on passing six thousand kills. You get one lottery draw. 「Do not make an announcement at a time like this!」 The extinguishing agent had faded and I barely made it down the mountain when the useless goddess made her announcement. I did not ask for that report. I only had four P90 magazines…

The twenty M67 grenades disappeared in no time. 「We may have exterminated a huge number, but paying four thousand yen for each one is rough on the mind」 It is not a loss if one grenade kills more than two, but watching four thousand yen melt away still weighs heavily on me. I bought another…

「It’s harder to hit than I thought」 Even Kainzel-san struggled at first. He tensed up and fired in quick succession before finally landing a shot. 「When you pull the trigger the sights tend to shift. Just take it easy and treat it like practice」 Taking down a single goblin earned more than enough to cover…

After we finished cleaning up, we returned home for a bit. The ladies had already begun building the house, and by noon the outer walls were done. 「They work fast as always」 「Indeed. I never knew women could be this skilled」 Even Kainzel-san, who was a local, seemed impressed by their speed. Lunch was curry.…

The rain kept falling for four days and finally stopped on the fifth. It felt like a break during the rainy season, but according to Kainzel-san, heavy rain like this would be followed by a stretch of clear weather of the same length, and the two would alternate several times. It was a troublesome season,…

When I stepped outside the next morning the sound of rain was overwhelming. 「…it sounds like a real downpour…」 I had been caught in the rain before, but getting soaked the day after eating barbecue and regaining my strength felt unfair. I knew we could not beat nature, yet I had no idea where to…

I trained with my sword again the next morning. Maybe because of the recovery pills I managed fifteen minutes on the first round and finished eight sets before noon. Yesterday I only managed six so there is no doubt I am improving. If I train again tomorrow, I will grow even more, but if I…

I was out of breath in less than ten minutes and ended up dropping both hands to the ground. Damn it. I could keep hitting a sandbag for twenty minutes, yet I could not last ten with a sword. The movement needed for swordplay was insane. 「…O one more time, please!」 I caught my breath…

「Morning!」 The giant-sized door opened and Marg walked in. TN: The author seems to forgot him. His name was マグル(maguru) and now it’s マルグ(marugu) 「Ah, it’s teacher! Your back!」 Because he is a kid, his voice pierces my ears. I should buy electronic earmuffs that adjust sound. 「T-teacher?」 「W-well, things happened and I ended up…

We managed to exterminate twenty-eight goblins before reaching Lasagna Village. Even so, we got a little too into it and it was already dark by the time we arrived. I was exhausted. 「Let’s save your introduction to the village for tomorrow.」 I left the goblin extermination to Kainzel-san, but pulling the bodies out of the…

I managed to calm myself down and helped Kainzel-san get dressed. 「I picked the shoes roughly, so if they do not fit, I will buy another pair.」 「No, these are fine. Compared to the shoes I used to wear, it feels like walking in the heavens.」 I did not understand that comparison, but if he…

When we stepped out of the guild, Kainzel-san was waiting. 「You didn’t have to hurry」 It hadn’t even been thirty minutes. Eating too fast would only hurt his stomach. 「If I’m hired, I should work properly」 Maybe his soldier’s instincts had awakened. Even his posture looked straighter and his presence felt different. He really did…

This old man knew the city too well. I had to wonder who he really was. 「I used to be a soldier」 He must have noticed my suspicious look. He said he had served Margrave Koraus as a soldier from the age of fifteen until past fifty. It seemed that soldiers usually retired at forty,…

We said our goodbyes to Rondario and the others and left the inn. As always, the tax collector was waiting for us. Was I being taken advantage of? 「Good morning, mister!」 「Yeah. You are lively this early」 Her skin and hair looked shinier than before. Was this just growth? 「I am full of energy because…

I woke up feeling refreshed. Since the room was still dark, it seemed it was not morning yet. I took the tablet and headed for the entrance. Ladarion was still fast asleep. 「……I should make a room for Ladarion soon……」 According to Romy-san, Ladarion was around thirteen or fourteen. It would be bad to keep…

Nothing happened and we were able to see the morning sun. 「……the sun looks yellow……」 People wake in the morning and sleep at night. This is the time when you understand that this is the right way to live. 「Takato-san. Rondario-san and the others are awake」 While I was soaking in the sunlight, Razul called…
