“Hey!”

“Gigii?!”

ㅤ

Emilia-sama’s rapier pierces the throat of a goblin.

With the second and third strikes quickly pulled out and swung, she effortlessly takes down the other goblins.

The last big one left.

Even the massive hobgoblin is easily defeated by Emilia-sama.

ㅤ

“Hehe, this is easy!”

“Don’t let your guard down. Besides, if you get too cocky after defeating small fry, it’ll show where you come from.”

“. . .Is that your idea of a joke?”

ㅤ

I’m serious.

However, Emilia-sama’s hometown is in this country, and more specifically, in the royal capital at the heart of the country.

Perhaps this expression was not appropriate.

ㅤ

But, the advice not to let one’s guard down is extremely appropriate.

No matter how strong one is, if they let their guard down, they will die.

I don’t want Emilia-sama to die.

I always say this, but maybe I should be more insistent this time.

ㅤ

That’s what I was thinking, but it seems there’s no time for that.

ㅤ

“. . .They’re here.”

ㅤ

Countless footsteps can be heard, and soon after, a large group of goblins appears.

Led by a goblin champion, a higher-ranking goblin with a body larger than a hobgoblin.

The goblin champion is a powerful monster with strength comparable to the elite who fight the Demon Lord, despite being a goblin.

This is probably the monster that has been killing adventurers so far.

This might be too much for Emilia-sama to handle alone.

ㅤ

“Emiiri. . .Emilia-sama, let’s do this together. . .”

“No need for your help! I can handle this by myself!”

“Huh?!”

ㅤ

No sooner said than done, Emilia-sama rushes in alone.

My stomach clenches.

Once she’s like this, Emilia-sama won’t listen.

If I help her, she’ll become incredibly upset.

ㅤ

Fortunately, it’s just a heavy burden, not an unwinnable situation.

There’s no choice.

I’ll just watch and help when necessary.

I just hope my stomach can hold out until then. . .

ㅤ

“Dance──[Francesca]!”

ㅤ

Emilia-sama sheathes the rapier she’s been wielding and deploys her true equipment.

Its shape is the same as the sheathed rapier.

However, it is a beautiful true equipment adorned with elaborate decorations.

ㅤ

“《Quick》!”

ㅤ

Emilia-sama uses a special art that can be activated by the unique effect [Dancing Princess] of her true equipment, accelerating.

She then targets a goblin shaman in the crowd with her rapier and kills it with a thrust.

First, she takes out the long-range attacker.

A correct decision.

ㅤ

“《Blade Spin》!”

ㅤ

Next, she activates an art that swings her rapier while spinning.

Multiple slashes are generated from it, reducing the number of goblins.

However, the champion remains standing, as does the hobgoblin.

ㅤ

“Gwoooooo!”

ㅤ

The champion roars and raises its club, attacking Emilia-sama.

With Emilia-sama’s defense, a direct hit could be fatal.

However, Emilia-sama gracefully deflects the attack with her rapier, spinning and flowing around the champion’s club.

“《Twist Sting》!”

“Gwooooo?!”

“《Twist Sting Quintet》!”

“Gyaaaa?!”

ㅤ

A continuous counterattack follows.

The twisting thrust, enhanced by the art, pierces several holes in the champion’s body.

ㅤ

“Gwoooooo!”

ㅤ

However, it must be praised for its vitality.

The champion swings its club without minding the damage.

But Emilia-sama calmly keeps her distance and chooses magic as her next means of attack.

ㅤ

“《Holy Arrow》!”

ㅤ

Numerous arrows of light pierced the champion, and incidentally, some of them penetrated Hob, causing his death.

The champion was also taking significant damage.

Then, Emilia-sama rushed towards the weakened champion.

She ran, jumped, and prepared her rapier, releasing her next art from that stance.

ㅤ

“Rain Tempo!”

ㅤ

A rain of thrusts pierced, penetrated, and slashed the champion’s body.

And so, the goblin champion fell, covered in blood.

Emilia-sama turned to me, smiling broadly and making a peace sign.

. . .Cute.

ㅤ

“How about that!”

ㅤ

Cute.

No, it was a great battle.

I thought it would be a heavy burden, but the result is as you see.

Emilia-sama is growing at an incredible speed.

Both in Lv and skills.

As for her heart. . .No comment.

ㅤ

However.

ㅤ

“You’re still too naive, Emilia-sama.”

“Huh?”

“Gwoooooo!”

ㅤ

The blood-covered goblin champion rose and swung his fist at Emilia-sama.

The moment of victory is when one is most careless and most likely to die.

ㅤ

But I will not let my master be defeated so easily in front of me.

ㅤ

“Ha!”

ㅤ

I stepped in, drew the sword from my waist, and slashed at the champion’s neck.

The champion’s neck was severed, and blood spurted out like a fountain from the cut surface.

He must be dead for sure.

ㅤ

“Emilia-sama, goblins have incredible vitality. This is true for other monsters as well, but you must not let your guard down until you have dealt the finishing blow.”

“Hmph. . .”

ㅤ

Ah.

In the end, she became sullen because I had to help her.

Her cheeks are puffed up.

With such an immature spirit, she is not yet ready for the battlefield.

ㅤ

“Shall we move on? We have to rescue the kidnapped women, right?”

“I know that!”

ㅤ

ㅤ

So, we explored the cave with the sulking Emilia-sama for a while.

We were able to reach our destination.

However. . .

ㅤ

“Ugh. . .?!”

“This is terrible.”

ㅤ

In the place illuminated by Emilia-sama’s light magic, there were naked, injured women and a large number of goblins playing with them.

Emilia-sama’s face turned pale at the sight of such a disgusting scene.

ㅤ

The goblins noticed us and attacked.

We must put an end to this tragedy as soon as possible.

With that thought, we swung our swords and killed all the goblins in the area.

ㅤ

ㅤ

After exterminating the goblins, we were about to cast healing magic on the injured women when. . .

ㅤ

“What a commotion. It seems some insects have invaded my dwelling.”

ㅤ

We heard such a voice.

It was a dark, stagnant voice that didn’t sound human.

A chilling, grotesque voice filled with an overwhelming sense of oppression.

ㅤ

Looking in the direction of the voice, there was a single goblin.

ㅤ

A monster that didn’t look like a goblin, clad in the aura of a strong warrior.

My senses as a battle-hardened warrior were ringing alarm bells at full force.

I couldn’t win against that.

ㅤ

“I am Guilan, the Goblin Lord of the Demon Lord’s Army. I welcome you, insects.”

ㅤ

The Goblin Lord announced such a desperate situation.

And then, a large number of goblins appeared from behind him.
