After making our way through the forest, we had returned to the grasslands for a while.

Ultimately, we decided to move on to another location because facing something like a Heavy Boar would just turn into a one-sided slaughter with Lily.

“Where are we going next? Who should we take down?”

Lily asked me that with her eyes sparkling.

“Hmm… Hold on a sec. Let me think.”

“I’ll wait! No matter what kind of monster it is, I’ll take it down!”

She’s so confident. The problem is, she actually might be

    After the henchmen carrying Rose had gone off somewhere, Lily and the others came back over to us.“Wow! That explosion just now—Zest did that, right? I didn’t know he could do something like that!”“Yeah, I guess so. It’s a wide-area skill, so it’s easy to wipe them all out.”“It was amazing, but I wish he’d said something… I was totally caught off guard...”“My bad, my bad. I didn’t have time to warn you.”Actually, I thought the damage would be a bit more restrained.But it was way bigger than I expected. I guess this is one of those reincarnation perks.“Zest-san…!”“Hm?”Finee, her eyes sparkling wildly, stared at me.“W-what was that skill you just used!?”“That’s a skill called Hell Bomb. It fires a fireball-like bomb that detonates when it hits something. Since it’s a wide-area skill, it easily takes out surrounding monsters.”“I-I see…!”Hell Bomb is a staff-type skill located deep within the skill tree. It requires a fair amount of SP (Skill Points) to learn.“C-can I learn

    About an hour had passed since we started the subjugation.Goblins had appeared here and there since then, but as expected, the numbers were small and we were dealing with them without issue. Perhaps because that situation continued, Lily seemed a little dissatisfied.I had no role to play, and the boring time continued.That's when it happened. A familiar woman came from afar."Oh my? Isn't that the little boy from before?"Crap. This woman was definitely… Rose, or something.She's the last person I want to see right now. I'd rather not get involved with her if possible.Rose was walking toward us, leading five men."I thought for sure you'd have run home by now, but you're still here. At least you've got guts.""…What about you? You haven't been slacking off, have you?""How rude. I've been doing my share of exterminating. Right, everyone?"Rose turned to the men around her.Are those guys really her party members?"Yes! Lady Rose has been performing splendidly!""Thanks to Lady Ros

    A few minutes had passed since then, but few goblins were emerging from the forest; even Lily and her group could handle them with ease.We could hear the sounds of battle in the distance, so it seemed the goblins were being flushed out. The elite troops who had entered the forest appeared to be doing well, too. However, the number coming toward us was still small. To be honest, I didn’t have much to do. It looked like this was going to be more boring than I expected.I thought that, but as time passed, their numbers gradually increased.Perhaps because it was such a wide-open area, Lily alone could no longer handle them all.It was then.“Lapis. Three of them are heading your way.”“! Got it!” A short distance away, three goblins were preparing to attack the sisters.Lapis shot and killed one of them, then braced herself for the next attack.The remaining two goblins charged toward Lapis.The first one was wielding a club and had closed in right next to Lapis. The other goblin was

    The next day.We decided to head to the designated location to hunt goblins.We arrived near a forest known as the Ancient Forest. Apparently, goblins often spawn in this area.Adventurers were already gathered around, tending to their equipment or discussing something.At a glance, there were probably over thirty of them. That’s more than I expected. I guess that means they’re really putting their all into this mission.Just as I was thinking that, a bald middle-aged man started shouting.“Thanks for coming, everyone! I’m Gale, and I’ll be leading this operation! Count on me!”So he’s the one in charge.He’s bald, but he’s got a rugged look and seems like someone you can rely on.“Our mission this time is to exterminate the goblins. According to reports, their nest is located in this forest. However, word is that their numbers have skyrocketed in recent years. There are even rumors that there might actually be a thousand of them.”Perhaps reacting to the word “thousand,” the adventur

  • Chapter 52: Goblin Hunt Part 1

    We had visited the Adventurers’ Guild.That’s because we were thinking of accepting a quest today. You can’t move up in rank unless you complete a certain number of quests. So we’d come looking for a suitable one.By the way, Lily has moved up from Rank F to Rank E. So now all of us can accept quests.Anyway, we were standing in front of the bulletin board, looking through the quest notices.“Is there anything good?”“They’re all things we can’t handle.”I’m still only E-rank, after all. That means the quests I can accept are limited.There are some E-rank quests, but they’re all just escort jobs or item collection missions.“Which one do you guys want?”“Any of them is fine. You never know until you try.”“We’ll do whatever Zest chooses.”“I want one where we can take down some strong guys!”“Hmm…”All the monster-hunting quests are D-rank or higher. There aren’t many we can take on as E-ranks. While looking for something suitable, I found an E-rank monster hunt request form.“Shall

  • Chapter 51: Learning New Skills

    Since then, I’ve been teaching the party how to move in combat and letting them learn through practice. All three of them seem to have gotten the hang of it and are moving reasonably well now.I was worried about Lily at first, but she’s improved quite a bit. She no longer acts on her own whim like she used to. She had the natural talent to begin with, so if she can coordinate her actions properly, she’ll be more than capable as a front-line fighter. It feels like we can look forward to great things from her in the future.While we were practicing like this, Lapis stopped and stared at her Adventurer Card.“Oh. My level went up. So I’m at 10 now.”“Oh. Lapis made it to 10 too. What about Fine?”“Y-yes… Oh, I’m at 10 too.”“That’s great. So you both leveled up almost at the same time.”Our levels are rising steadily. At this rate, I’ll be able to take them to some higher-difficulty areas soon.“It’s pretty quick to get to level 10. But from there on, it gets harder and harder to level
