“Gugigigi! Hey! You rotten wolf, get me on your back now!”

Goblin hurriedly orders Wolf to do so.

This guy might be a good rider, but he’s not that strong himself.

The Wolf looks at the tumbling Goblin and is taken aback, but then it realizes what the Goblin has said. It hurriedly bent down and tried to put him on its back.

At that, I ask it just once.

“Hey, are you sure you want to be used by that thing?”

“Guru?”

Wolf didn’t seem to understand the meaning of Chibi’s words… But then it looked at me with curious eyes, as if something was wrong with those words.

“Gigiii!!!! Hey! Don’t listen to her, you stupid wolf!!”

Goblin, scum? Guzu? I lightly flicked him with my moon-wolf claws to silence his frantic screaming.

“Gagiii!”

“Chibi, you see, just like you, I was offered to the Goblins by a pack of Wolves, so I know how you feel. Just a little, honestly.”

Even though they had the same beginnings, Chibi’s circumstances were too different from this child’s, and Chibi would never understand what it was like for a child to be injured so badly. But because they have the same beginning… I think I can understand just a little of the feelings of that beginning.

“That Goblin reached out to you, didn’t he?”

The recipient doesn’t know if the hand extended is good or bad.

However, it must be inevitable that it seems to be inexplicably important, and that when you let go of the hand, you feel as if you are alone in the world again.

“Gigigi, yeah, that’s right! No one’s going to pick you up if I give you up!”

The Goblin laughs.

But I’m not concerned about that.

What’s more significant is what this child wants to do.

No one has the right to deny anyone’s gift.

No matter how socially wrong it is, if it seems indispensable to the child…

It’s definitely an irreplaceable thing for this child.

But if it’s not…

If it’s something that makes it want to run away…

“That’s not true, Chibi will stay with you. So let’s go.”

I reached out my hand gently.

Just as Master had done, Chibi could reach out to help the child.

“Guru!? Guru, gaaaaaah!!!!”

The Wolf looked at Chibi’s hand and shook its head around.

“Whoa! Hey! What’s wrong with you! Don’t listen to a word she says! I’m the only one you’ve got! What are you going to do when you get out of here? Nobody’s going to accept you! Look at your filthy body! Who’s going to love you! I’m the only one! I’m the only one who can love you!”

Probably worried by Wolf’s agitation, the Goblin continued to hurl foul language at it.

After a while, Wolf regained its composure and quickly turned around to face Goblin.

There was a hint of hesitation in those eyes, but there was also a glimmer of determination in them.

Oh, this child will be fine.

“Okay, okay! You’re a good boy, you just have to follow me all the way…”

It bowed to the grinning Goblin.

And then…

It opened its large mouth and bite into Goblin’s torso. The sound of bones creaking and cracking mixed with the armor can be heard.

“Gagi!!!? Giiiiyaaaaaaaa!!!?”

Goblin let out a pathetic squeal, his face contorted in intense pain, without understanding what was happening. But this child suffered more pain than that. This pain should be nothing compared to that.

“Oiiii! Stupid wolf! What the hell are you doing? Gagi! Gyaaaaah!

The Goblin’s yell made the wolf shudder for a moment, but it didn’t make it relax its jaws. Blood gushed out of Goblin’s mouth in a torrent of reddish-black fluid. The broken bone must have pierced his guts. The only thing he could do now was to let out a weak whimpering sound.

“Gagi… Hyah… Help… geh…”

The sound of shredded flesh, shredded life, echoes through the air.

Wolf’s eyes stared at the lump of meat that spilled out of his mouth with a sorrowful look in his eyes.

A voice leaks from Wolf’s mouth, “Gaw…” A voice leaks out of Wolf’s mouth.

The voice was frail for a complaint, and was tinged with a bit of sadness.

It’s also true that these words were spilled to itself.

The Wolf continues to speak to itself.

The relationship between the Goblin and the Wolf.

It is a relationship built on twisted brainwashing.

A dependency that was set up by the other side.

The only person who saw value in the wolf and wanted to take it, the wolf let it took advantage of itself.

I was hurt by that fact… Chibi doesn’t think it’s wrong to cry.

So, Chibi tightened herself around Wolf’s big and that felt small.

This makes Chibi’s heart feel warm and calm.

“You did a good job. But if you are sad, you can cry.”

Chibi just listened to the words as she hugged it.

Chibi simply listened while hugging it for a while.

“Goblin… I’d heard that he did this sort of thing, but…”

I vomit and throw up on the ground.

Where I had escaped from Black Knight… What I saw was a ranch, livestock, a trainer, and a number of goblins who were there for fun.

The only difference between them and the normal ones is that there were human women being kept there, and they were being ***** by Goblins. I cut up the Goblins who violated them as my emotions took over.

The captive women reacted in different ways, either standing there dumbfounded, crying out that help was on the way, or trying to escape at once, but if I leave now, I don’t know what the Goblins will do to them when they find me.

I persuaded them that I would be back later to help them, and half-heartedly pushed the women into a large hut at the far end and locked the door.

As a side note, there was no sign of Luka here. The women told me that a beautiful red-haired girl had just purified herself and was being taken away again.

Whatever it was, it was beyond disgusting.

Black Knight, when I was with that thing… I knew there were some great Goblins out there. I thought there were good ones, strong ones, that I could respect.

I’m sure I’m not wrong, and I’m not going to correct it.

He was here with a firm will of his own, and he had unusual strength.

I think that’s something I can honestly admire.

But if you ask me if all Goblins are respectable like that, of course not.

Humans and Goblins are the same, each with their own intentions, some are good, some are bad.

And if they are in conflict as a species… And if we’re going to confront them as a species, we’re going to have to deal with them in all their purity and turbidity. And so, I made a new decision to fight that Goblin Knight… I was determined to fight the Black Knight as well…

“But…”

Strange.

It’s true that with a single stroke of magic, I had mowed down Black Knight’s elite troops, and then some. And yet, no pursuers have appeared at all. Did they leave me alone and head for Chibi and Youmu?

As soon as I became calm, I began to feel impatient.

A moment later, however, my suspicions were drowned out by the sound of an explosion in the distance.

And then, a few moments later, the sound of metal clanging, no doubt. It was the sound of someone fighting.

But who was fighting who?

The question I have is endless, but at the end of the day, there’s nothing I can do but try to find out, so I’ll just go for it.

I replenished my somewhat depleted magic power with magic water and ran in the direction of the sound with my ceremonial sword in hand.
