Defiled Hero

Strongest Little Girl Plan, Goblin Subjugation, Part 2

Quickly teaching the movements of the scythe.

「......Ei......Ei......Ei.」 (Tear)

After teaching her the basic form, she was steadily becoming able to use it.

「Alright, you’ve gotten pretty good at using it. After a bit of rest, we’ll move onto the main objective, hunting.」 (Izayoi)

After resting a few minutes, we finally stepped foot into the forest where the monsters lurked.

「Rigolo, you’ll be in the back. The goblins will run otherwise, right?」 (Izayoi)

We walked into the forest with good prospects. However, the forest had an odd ambience to it, didn’t it?

Rather, the atmosphere was tense with murderous intent permeating throughout. However, there were no signs of monsters.

No, to be accurate, with the exception of goblins, there were no indications of any other monsters.

（Astrea, something makes me anxious. Can you take a look at the state of the forest?） (Izayoi)

『W-what! You only rely on Astrea-chan at these times!　You never talk to me if it’s not for something like this!　B-but it’s not like I’m feeling lonely or anything like that, you know? I mean, Allele the fairy who just joined us—? She looks lonely doesn’t she? I think that’s what she thinks—? I’m different you know?』 (Astrea)

（Shut it, hurry up and investigate the forest. Otherwise I’ll toss the bodies of dead goblins into the storage.） (Izayoi)

『You being angry is scary...... You didn’t have to say it that seriously......』 (Astrea)

『Finished. The goblins seem to be a bit excited. It’s probably their mating season or something, but it shouldn’t be a problem...... Ah, there are also two people using concealment magic hiding in the forest. (Astrea)

（Concealment magic? Can you dispel it?）

『At this range it’s impossible. They’re using a very high level magic.』 (Astrea)

In this forest for beginners, are two people using high level concealment magic huh? Their aim is probably me. For now we’ll wait and see. Just in case I’ll be sure to not separate from Tear and Rigolo.

While walking through the forest with vigilance, we discovered two goblins.

「*Gigyaaaa!*」 (Goblin)

「*Hi*, Ichayoii.」 (Tear)

Recognizing our presence, the orcs brandished their cudgels and faced us. Tear backed up in fear.

「Listen up Tear. Watch me and the goblin.」 (Izayoi)

The two goblins were coming to attack. One was about the height of my waist, about the same as Tear. The monster which was about the same height as me held a weapon and approached me menacingly.

It can’t be helped if she’s scared. Although it can’t be helped, she has to get used to it.

「Take a good look at your opponent’s movements. To go straight against this incompetent enemy, do your best and your special training won’t let you lose.」 (Izayoi)

The goblin swung his cudgel downwards.

I used the base of the blade to parry it, and back stepped from the cudgel, and kicked off the ground with my feet.

「Create an opening, then at that moment use the attacking stance and it should be over.」 (Izayoi)

Tear was still frightened, and didn't move forward.

「......Tear. What’s wrong, you wanted to become a hero right?」 (Izayoi)

「......Because, the Hero-sama, cool.」 (Tear)

「The hero, why is he cool?」 (Izayoi)
