The next morning, we left the inn early and headed to the guild to buy some extra food at the market.
“You guys have to walk to the village. It’s along the main road, so you shouldn’t get lost.”
“Thank you.”
While we were all going through the procedures at the guild, that same duo and the woman arrived. Everyone is watching with interest. They are guessing what they’ll do.
“This request.”
“Okay. The registration is complete. Please do your best.”
“““Eh?”””
I thought something would happen for sure, but they simply finished the formalities and quickly left the guild after that.
However, the faces of those two were super ugly, so I guess they must have been told to obey the woman. But I think that if it’s those two people, they definitely won’t be able to spend a few days quietly.
“Don’t worry about those two. Just focus on what’s in front of you.”
“Guild Master.”
The person who appeared behind the reception counter was the guild master. She had her arms crossed as she looks with a stern gaze at the direction in which the three of them left.
“I can understand why Shun and the others are wary. That woman certainly smells suspicious after all.”
“As expected, huh.”
“We’ll check on her a bit, it’s better to be vigilant. After all, she’s related to Count Bakuak.”
If the Guild Master is also wary, she must be a really suspicious person.
I’ll leave this to the Guild Master and focus on the task at hand.
“I was actually going to ask Shun and the others to do it with a higher-ranking adventurer, but unfortunately, the main team has left, so I decided to leave it to Shun and the others. This is not only based on me, but also on the opinions of other staff members.”
“Thank you. We’ll do our best to complete the request.”
“Mmm, I’m looking forward to it.”
With the Guild Master seeing us off, we set off for our target village.
There is a beautiful road on our way to our destination, so everyone walks while talking in a cheerful manner.
—However, after about two hours of walking,
Rustling. Rustling.
“S-something is coming.”
“Everyone, get ready for battle.”
There was a loud rustle in the woods near the road. My search magic also had an enemy reaction.
Everyone immediately got ready for battle.
“““Gisha!”””
“G-goblins!? No way…. Goblins on a road like this?”
“Let’s get rid of them right away.”
“““Yes.”””
What appeared were goblins with a handmade club in their hands. There are ten of them. However, we also started to do group combat in the morning training, so we immediately set up our formation.
“““Ga-Gya-Gya!”””
“Ei!”
“Soryaa!”
The goblins attacked all at once, so me and Sue used our magic to support everyone and fight them off all at once. The current squad has a lot of vanguards, so we beat the goblins in no time.
“Phew, we haven’t arrived at the village yet, but the goblins have already appeared.”
“This may be worse than we had thought.”
I am talking to everyone while we are taking the small magic stones from the goblin’s ears and chest. It will be the proof of us defeating the goblins.
The state of the village is worrisome, and it seems that it will be more difficult than expected.
