024 (1/2)

The next day, I woke up early as always, feeling like I was forgetting so

But this time, I had to keep quiet since the elf children are still sleeping

And quite soundly at that

After I infor out for a bit, I left the inn

I went outside the city and trained oncesession, I started to walk back to the city

When I looked towards the direction of the rising sun, I suddenly noticed a nant aura in the opposite direction

It was just over the west horizon

When I enhanced my sense, I could see

What seeot surprised a bit, and automatically observed the situation

They numbered about a thousand

The army seems to be entirely cohts], [Goblin Mages], [Goblin Archers], [Hobgoblin Raiders], but oblin bigger than all of theht in the center of their for], huh?

I used todays, at first, I had trouble with their giant bodies and proportional strength, and the fact that I can't get to him easy because the subordinates would block ed to kill one

After that, I got scolded by Master, but not for fighting a stronger opponent, ainst a small fry

Naturally, I coth back then

But, he would not listen to anything I said because he said that I was ht e of an opponent's size and strength against itself

But I couldn't do it properly since I was still a kid back then with an undeveloped body

And so, after much reflection and deliberation, I incorporated the skills Master taughtI've learned back on earth, Judo

I learned judo in hopes totechniques

But it only ht everyone, they were too afraid of ether

As a result, my instructor toldto fail

My dark history, out of many

Well, after I did that, I started to beat [Goblin Kings] whenever I le scratch

Oops, I was too busy thinking aboutcloser to the vicinity of the town

Well, since it's been a while, let's try it shall we?

I thought totowards the [Goblin Ar back to the city

It wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be

Once I swooped in, in a straight line while piercing everything in sight

Then I antic body and pinned hi's] head off, they were in chaos

After their leader was dead, they scattered off to who knohere

(sigh) Did uy could barely react to ht side, even after all that blood sprayed into the air, I didn't get any speck of it on ood for soot away

I then proceeded to put the leader's corpse inthe bloody massacre behind, I would have liked to cremate them since it would attract beasts, but sadly, I couldn't use [Fire Magic]

I still regret not being able to use ic in a fantasy world

I didn't knohat to do with all the inforht novels

But, there's nothing I can do about it

I go through the gates and go back to reet the elf children

”Good Morning, Anna-chan, Lute-kun”

I say in a bright tone towards the tho are sleepily rubbing their eyes

”Fue~ Good Morning, Onii”

”Yawn Good Morning, Niichan”

So cute, is this what it's like to have little siblings?

”Now, get dressed, and let's go downstairs and eat breakfast”

””Yes””

I turn for the door and let thee

After that, ent to the first floor and had breakfast

Today's etables

Their eyes lit up at the sight of a luxurious breakfast like it was the first tirace, they started to shovel down food down their throats

I don't know about their God though

Since they were chanting so before the meal

If I remember correctly, it was Avaceris, the Nature Goddess which rules over the Elven Continent

Was that supposed to be a prayer to her?

Oh, now's not the time for that

”Anna-chan, Lute-kun, eat youraway you know?”

After I said that, they stopped eating and then sed in unison

Is this a gag show or sohtly displeased face

”Onii, if it's hard to call us that, I don't htly trails off at the end, and why is she looking away

”Oh, me too, like Ann-neechan said, call etic little boy dives in almost instantly and shouts in a voice heard by the other custoentle sht, well then, let's take care of each other from now on, okay? Anna, Lute”

They both beaot really attached to me

Well, they are still kids after all

And it is exactly that reason

Why I can't free the them

But soon after, I noticed that if I freed them now, they would only end up back at the ”Slave Trader's Guild”, live on the streets and alleys, starving everyday, or worse, run out of the city and get killed by demonic beasts

Since they were just kids, and added to that, elves, in a land filled with humans

I think they won't treat their race as kindly as the de on between them even until now

Now, I know this would just look like I'ht , I better damn well finish it

So what I took froet them back home to the Elven Continent if an opportunity arises

And until then, I will take care of theer until they don't need me anymore

Just like how Master trained et the idea

Since I know that the guilt will eat away at me if I just irresponsibly threw them away

Well, you can call it self-satisfaction if you want

The point is, I want to help theards to information about this world

I can't expect them to know ht up in that war for a reason

Maybe I can get a clue about the hero this way, if I'ht now

I think I ht there

After we finished eating I asked the two if they want to buy soed but I want to give the to protect themselves with

So alked around the business district and found a blacksn, ”Gemini City Blacksmith”

We entered and found an empty shop filled with swords, armor, plate mails spears, bows, and staves

”Um, Is anyone here?”

I shout towards the counter

Then suddenly, I hear a gruff voice

”Yeah, yeah, welcome to iant man came out from the back door of the counter

He see muscles, a brown beard dirtied with black ash, and narrow slit eyes with a satisfied expression, looking at me and the children

”Elves, huh?”

He said that in a confir tone, but I detected no ood person who doesn't judge people by their looks

”Ah, nice to meet you Rodrick-san, I'm Orion and this is Anna, and Lute”

I introduce myself and the children to the blacks for today, you seem like a swordsman yourself”
