42 42. Helping out of luck.txt (2/2)

Since he could use his different abilities to move around, he could return to the imperial capital in a second if he wanted to.

This is the main reason why he doesn't feel the need to master the transfer magic.

He aims to get to a place where there is no first class adventuring party or knights.

On the way, I saw some adventurers fighting with demons, but I'll let them pass without touching them.

There's no end to helping them every time.

Eventually, however, we see a boy of about 13 years old and a girl of about 10 years old confronting a goblin that seems to have gotten separated from the pack.

The girl was sitting on the ground, crying and shaking, with herbs scattered around her feet.

The boy is desperately glaring at the goblin as he stands there shielding her.

You couldn't blame him if his body was trembling with fear.

The goblin has a victorious smile on his ugly face and swings the wooden stick down in his right hand, swinging it down.

The boy squeezes his eyes shut.

He doesn't run away because he's determined to protect the girl.

(Lucky for you, boy.)

Val uses a bolt of light to pay off the goblin's legs and make it fall down with great force.

The goblin is knocked unconscious by the impact of the powerful blow to his head.

The boy, who had been prepared for this, opens his eyes fearfully, wondering about the loud noise and the expected pain not coming.

Then he sees what he can only assume was a goblin falling and hitting his head and passing out.

It froze for a few seconds, but eventually it seemed to understand that now was the perfect time to escape, and hurriedly got the girl to stand.

After the two of them frantically gathered the medicinal herbs, they started running at a glance.

(Did they come to get the herbs for someone else and run into a stray goblin with no luck?)

Val expects that.

When the boy and the girl are far away he will toss the unconscious goblin and clean up after him.

When they return to the city, they will tell stories of how they were lucky to be saved, despite the fact that their parents are furious with them.

Like the adventurers and townspeople telling someone in the tavern or at home, ”I thought I was screwed, but I was lucky ......”.

Some of those are true, and some were saved by the addition of Val's help.

Today will be another example of that.
