40 Gellis (1/2)
The next following event. When the efficiency of the mana potion dissipated, Kiro shifted his attention to Rosaleen who was observing the far off distance of the forest solemnly.
”Ms. Rosie, can you please tell me why you are here?” Kiro said, though he already knew the answer to his question. Still, he couldn't help to ask so.
Only when Kiro voiced out the question. Only then Alina realized how odd it was for Rosaleen to be present in this place.
Hearing Kiro's question. Rosaleen thought for a moment before responding. ”Your Master and I were acquaintances. He dragged me here to show off his disciple capabilities.” She said while shifting her gaze toward Kiro.
”But you have to keep it a secret, okay? Your Master forbids me to tell you he was the one who rescued you.” Rosaleen said facetiously as she gently winked at him.
Seeing her playful behavior, Kiro was stunned momentarily. Then, as if trying to regain his dignity, Kiro faced her bewitching figure without flinching. ”—Then can I know what happened?”
Kiro mustered all of his strength just to say those words. He still couldn't handle Rosaleen's otherworldly beauty.
”Humph!” Fixie snorted at him in dissatisfaction.
Staring at his silly expression, Rosaleen giggled slightly as she said. ”Though your Master may seem to be strict. But he truly cared for your well being.” After saying that, Rosaleen shifted her gaze toward the Goblin's Settlement.
”Yeah, he is a kind person. A type of person who will observe your growth in the shadow...” Rosaleen muttered those words only audible to herself as her eyes flashed with nostalgia.
Noticing that she spaced out for a moment Rosaleen cough softly. ”Mm—in short, your Master is a worry rat, that is the reason why we are here.”
Seeing her perplexed reaction. Kiro didn't want to make things difficult for her, as he said. ”Okay, thank you for answering my question, Ms. Rosie.” While saying that Kiro glanced at Alina who was tilting her head in puzzlement.
”Alina, you can now give me another flask of the mana potion.” With his sudden request. Kiro awakened the confused Alina.
”Mm, okay please stay still.” She said as she opened the small azure crystal vial. Then she poured the content to Kiro's mouth.
Kiro gulped a mouthful of a mana potion. Then a familiar feeling engulfed his whole being.
As the azure vapor encircled throughout his body; Kiro felt a sudden ecstasy.
Up above the sky, the sun was already pointing at the east when he regained his mana.

Inside the Adventurer's Guild.
With the information, they got from Aldin. The Guild was bustling with clamor after the news of a Goblin King appeared at the beginner's forest, also known as the plainlan forest.
Every adventurer's inside the waiting lounge was staring at the eye-catching pinned request.
On the enormous commission board, there was an extra-large parchment pinned in the middle.
.
*???????????????????????? ????????????????????????????*
Difficulty: ????+++
Requirement: The quest is only applicable to a C-rank union and above.
Quest: Goblin Nest Subjugation.
Important Note: The possibility of a Goblin King leading the nest is high.
Reward: ???????? ???????????????? ????????????????????.
.
Staring at the parchment, many C-ranker Adventurers piqued their interest upon the hefty rewards. With 30 gold coins on hand, their union can have light breathing for about a month or two.
”Hooh... There's a possibility of a Goblin King was leading the entire nest...” One of the adventurers said.
”Nah it's not worth the time and effort. With the settlement alone, do you think a single union can handle an entire Goblin nest?” An old veteran adventurer voiced out.
”Mm, you're right about that. However, with 30 gold coins, I can upgrade my union members' equipment... Haaah~ but it was unrealistic for us to handle the nest. Even more so with the possibility of a Goblin King leading the place.” The person murmured in response.
Suddenly a voice resounded in the Guild.
”HOHOHO! A Goblin King Subjugation request. I like it! Hahaha with this, my party can have it easy within upcoming weeks!” The man said while laughing heartedly.
