It takes about two hours to get out of the city as we travel on foot. Basically, we were following the main road, but eventually, we deviated from the official road and approached a rocky area.
“Hey kids, we are almost there. See that big rock over there? Behind that is a cave, it is said that there is a goblin lair in the depths of it.”
Examiner Maricia said so. This is said to be the exam for us to become an adventurer. We are currently in the middle of that practical exam. This group of thirteen people, three examiners and ten examinees, will charge inside the goblin-infested cave and destroy it. That’s the content of this practical exam.
“Goblins huh. Isn’t it the weakest monster?”
“I went out near the village once before, even I, was able to beat it back then.”
“It looks a lot easier than I thought.”
Some of the examinees seem to have experience slaying goblins so they have plenty of time to spare.
“Oi oi, don’t let your guard down. You all, goblins are indeed small-sized monsters. If you have a weapon, even an average adult can kill it. But these guys are troublesome once they form a group. If they attack in groups, even the most seasoned adventurer can fall behind.”
It was Maricia who reprimanded them.
“By the way, we basically won’t interfere. We just need you to annihilate the goblins in the cave.”
It seems that the accompanying adventurers intend to devote themselves as examiners who judge the abilities of the examinees.
“That, you have to do your best…”
“Yes, Colette-oneechan.”
“Uhm… And how long should I hold you?”
I was being held by a girl named Colette, who is also one of the examinees. There was a girl with big boobs in just the right place, so when I asked her softly, she picked me up easily.
“Oneechan…. I still want to stay like this… Is it no good?”
“~~~~~~~Uh! I-It’s not that it’s not good. If you’re fine with me, I’ll give you as many hugs as you want!…”
Fufufu. That was easy. It didn’t work for Maricia, but her ability to control her maternal instinct to hold a baby is still wonderful. As we walked through the rocky terrain, we encountered several goblins.
“Oraaa!”
“Gya?”
“Fireball!”
“Gugya!?”
However, each time, the examinees finish them off without danger.
“““Gya-gya-gya-gya!”””
“Oh, they’re going to run away.”
“Look! There’s a cave over there.”
Eventually, we found a gaping cave at the base of a large rock. Seeing the goblins run away there, I guess that’s their lair.
“I’m going to show you what I’m capable of!”
“Haha, I’m sure I’ll pass!”
Despite Maricia’s advice earlier, the bloodthirsty examinees rush into the den with great prowess.
“Oi! Hey, isn’t that dangerous? We don’t know how many goblins there are yet…”
“But if this continues, they’re going to monopolize the credit, right?”
Even the slightly cautious group felt that they had to appeal in order to pass, so, not to be outdone, they immediately rushed into the den.
“Gya-gya-gya!”
“Gugye-gye-gee!”
“Gigigigi!”
While defeating the goblins that attack one after another, we advanced deeper and deeper. By the way, I’m in the last place. This is because Colette is the rearguard who specializes in healing and support magic.
“.…Everybody’s amazing…”
“U-n, but it’s dangerous if we keep going.”
“Eh?”
Eventually, we arrived at a space so large that it was hard to believe that it was inside the cave. The ceiling is also high, probably more than 20 meters high. Moreover, Eventually, we arrived at a space so large that it was hard to believe that it was inside the cave. The ceiling is also high, probably more than 20 meters high. Moreover, in the wall of this space, there were countless holes here and there.
“……For god’s sake, I already told you guys. Don’t let your guard down!”
Right after Maricia said that, goblins jumped out of the hole one after another.
“Wha-!?””
Even if they try to run back quickly, a large number of goblins stand in their way. Before we knew it, we were already surrounded by swarm of goblins, which easily exceeded a hundred.
“D-Don’t tell me….. they lured us inside!!?”
