Chapter 10 (1/2)

Sparring, Changing, and Feasting

The pig challenged me to a duel No idea why

“Doesn’t have to be ht”

“No, it has to be you The only one that can evenly on”

Well yeah but…

“You don’t have to fight uys”

“Other guys? Those ‘other guys’ only tao, there’s no way they’d be able to fight evenly”

“… Well, it would be better if you dueled him, for everyone’s sakes”

“Do I have to?”

“Personally, I would prefer you to duel him”

“…Haa, fine I get it I just have to do it, right”

In an area slightly apart fro & Goblin Elite Lime is with everyone else, who have surrounded us in a circle to watch the battle The referee is Sasha-sensei

“Now then, ill start the duel The height limit is…about that tree”

She points to a tree nearby Roughly, 5-6h conditions One of Ruu’s best techniques, a nose dive drop attack, can’t be used huh

“Hey, isn’t it boring with just a duel?”

“What?”

“Let’s bet so on it For example…like our monsters”

“So like that, no way hell I would What bullshi+t”

“Well, I thought you’d say that Come to think of it, that dwarf friend of yours Noonder what she’s doing…”

“…Keep Triss out of this”

“That’s up to you”

“…Fine But, it’s not a bet unless there are two parties, y’know”

“I bet rill it I don’t care”

His attitude of treating the Goblin Elite as an object gets onpeople off…

“Now, beat down that dragon!”

“Ga…”

The Goblin Elite swayingly steps forward That guy, there’s soht in his eyes, or should I say…it feels like his soul is dead…No way, did that pig break his soul and forcefully tath imbalance

“Go, Goblin Elite! Show us the swordsoblins!”

“Gyau …”

Goblin Elite looks at us with lifeless eyes In his eyes I feel as though I see hi , ‘I don’t want to kill my own kin anymore’

“…One thing, can I ask one thing? The one that oblins, was it you?”

“Who else is there but et the chills A goblin, single- its own kind as they run away Don’t you think it’s hilarious?”

“I see, I’m relieved to hear that”

I jump on Ruu’s back, and pat her head She ioblin but at the pig

“Now, cooblin You and your master, I’ll read both of your last rites!”

“Gua A Aaaaa !!!”

And with that, the duel for both an

The first one to round, it pulls out its sword and thrusts at us Putting s, we escape into the air

Goblin Elite ju the doard slash, Ruu turns around She whips the goblin aith her tail

“Guu…”

Before being slaround, Goblin Elite fixes its posture in round to use as a brake Seeainst the attack, and hasn’t taken a lot of dae

Now it’s our turn After I collect s, she rushes in Just like that we try to assault the goblin, but he shi+fts to stand perpendicular to Ruu, and repeatedly thrusts with skillful ti, and retreat into the air

Goblin Elite e, and round

Goblin Elite dodges Ruu’s claws by juhtly, but doesn’t look like it was very effective The goblin then kicks off the ground, and brings his sword down from above We can’t avoid this, so we concentrate , and deflect the sword

‘Gagaga!’ The large sword slips along Ruu’s scales After its blow is deflected Goblin Elite’s stance is left wide open, so ipe Ruu’s tail into his stooblin takes it head-on and is bloay by the attack

“Nice, and the response?”

“Guru”

“A square hit, huh Don’t let your guard down, after all a cornered beast is at its erous”

Goblin Elite stands up while spitting blood It should’ve been a lot of dae, but he looks perfectly fine…As expected of monsters, I suppose

“What’re you doing! Stop fuddling around, get going!”

Pig sends oblin At first it’s repelled, but he forcefully jarows, but at the sa all over his body da your way around like that!

“We’re going, Ruu! Let’s finish this!”

“Guru!”

We soar into the sky, and accelerate at once towards the Goblin Elite Despite being wounded, he hurriedly takes a stance and lets loose a flurry of sharp thrusts

“Ruu!”

“Guru~u!”

While folding her wings, Ruu yari‘ grating sound as the sword scratches Ruu’s scales, but we continue into a frontal charge Ruu bites the goblin in the torso, and pushes hiround

“Stop the duel”

“W-W-W-What did you say!!!???”

Nn, why’re you so surprised by that? There’s nothing to be surprised about

“Why did oblins!?”

“Goblins don’t have that much mana Just because you beat however er”

“Wha!?”

“Also, dragons and goblins are different grades as monsters It’d be a different story if you properly raised it, but with forcefully ta it, there’s no way you could win”

“W-h-wha!!!???”

Ooh, his face is getting redder and redder Probably full of rage and shaht

“Mkay then, I’oblin then”

“…The hell I’ll let you, like hell I’ll let you!”

Suddenly, the pig sendsprone on the ground jumps up, faces towards me, and comes at me with his sword

“Uwah!”

“What’re you doing! Stop him!”

“Hahahahaha!!! Who the hell would just hand it over to you, I’ll give hie for your life!!!”

Doing things like going berserk in desperation, what a complete asshole! It’d be a pain to harassed by him later, so I should crush him here

Hiding behind Ruu, I place ather the mana in her vocal cords and say,

“Ruu, release all of the !”
