On the other was me, who had thoroughly trained those of my generation, and had currently ranked up and became a Hobgoblin subspecies.
Apparently there were a lot of goblins that placed their bets on their side, but because I had no
intention of reading between the lines, I immediately went away.
Well, I’ll quickly state the result.
Of course, I won.
I stopped his movement like a frog glared at by a snake with [Evil Eye]. The opponent cowered at
my volume when I used [Threatening Roar].
I confused the enemy by immediately using my abilities at the same time and then wrapped his body up with my thread. While doing this I was simultaneously closing the distance, without missing a beat, and then when I got close enough I hung him from a tree like a sandbag.
Gobujii asked what the thread was, but this was definitely a part of my body. Going to extremes, it’s kind of like saliva. Since it’s spit, it can’t be treated as a weapon.
Therefore I don’t have any problem. Since it isn’t a weapon, I didn’t violate the rules even if I use
it. We’ll look to decide. Yeah, it’s safe.
After turning him into a makeshift sandbag with my web, it was time for violence. I tried going easy so as to not kill him for the time being, but this guy belongs to the hobgoblin race, who were tougher than goblins, but because he was impertinently shouting things like “I’m the leader! How dare you, you imposter! Do you have no shame!?” that shows no comprehension on his own situation, I got a bit serious.
Well, it can't be helped. It was an act of God. That was what I decided to call it.
First of all, to prevent him from saying something boring like "I give up." I stuffed a gag
made out of thread on his mouth.
After that, I beat him up silently for about three minutes, but he still had spirit, so I did that
again for ten more minutes until he was just a bloody bag of soft moans. I didn't kill him though. By the way, even though I beat and kicked him for ten minutes incessantly I still have plenty of body strength left.
This was the result of regular training. When my enemy fainted, I stopped. Judging from touch it seemed his bones were just barely at the point of breaking, and his internal organs had not ruptured. If I left him like this he surely wouldn't die.
Even then, I tried making, out of several grasses and herbs "Healing Grass" and several kinds of insects mixed in with fresh water, just in case. I forcibly gave it to him to drink and the home-made healing potion-ish thing had an effect, even if just a little. I then cut the thread and let him roll to sleep.
Not having any resilience whatsoever, for the time being I proved the feasibility of healing little cuts, and given that, his insides should be more or less better by tomorrow. Today I really don't want to stay awake any longer.
Having finished the job, I became aware that the others had drawn away from me, who was basking in the feeling of having achieved something.
While the goblins on our side seemed to take it better than the others, but there is still a hint of
terror in their eyes. Afterwards, they would casually try to run away whenever I approached, It hurt my feelings a little…
Eh? What is it Gobumi-chan? They were completely unable to understand my thread, and that
tragic scene that befell me before was because I was making a scary face? But isn't this kind of face just normal?
Ah, so that only applies to me huh.
But it really isn't that big a deal right Gobukichi-kun? Ah.. don't be like that.
Even Gobue-chan…? Okay okay, if it's like that then fine, I have no friends here.
After letting out a sigh, I asked if there were any more challengers. By making my position clear
here I hoped to reduce the possibility of any trouble coming up later on.
In the end, because there were no more challengers, I had officially become the leader reigning top of this "goblin community".
I then declared that it is strictly forbidden to touch the women and that there would be a more
detailed set of rules given in the future before dismissing everyone.
Afterwards, I removed the gags and untied the hemp ropes around the hands and feet of the five women and had them enter the deepest part of the cave where those pitiful women were kept, made to reproduce and died in despair, were thrown into once. This was done because it would be troublesome if they escaped.
Well, the women escaping is fine, but five unarmed women running around in this dangerous forest could only lead to them being killed or eaten. And since I have gone through great
troubles to save them, I couldn’t allow this to happen.
I decided to bring them to the inner cave to have a chat because my ability [Human Language] fulfilled the minimum requirements to speak with them
It wasn’t long before we finished moving. I took the torch I made beforehand and lit it to provide
a lightsource.
Goblins have [Night Vision] but it would be difficult for humans to see well in the darkness.
After these preparations were finished, we began our conversation. I promised them that I will not take their lives and that I will ensure food and other necessities will be provided to them. I also told them that if they were assaulted, I would judge the individual and punish him/her and that it would take some time but I would return them to their home and such things.
I think probably 5 or 6 hours passed. Either because of my insistent persuasion, or some other reason that I don’t know, but the girls began to speak.
The first one who regained their composure was the adventurer girl, with short flaming red hair,
who possessed a vigorous beauty, and a cuteness that reminded me of small animals.
From the conversation with Redhead, I concluded that the four women were hawkers in a peddler group, the "Star God’s Pavillion".
As for Redhead, she was a member of the adventurer association "The Sword of the Weak" and
had been hired on as a guard for the "Star God’s Pavillion" for payment. The adventurer union “The sword of the weak” seemed to consist of young adventurers. As I thought, such an occupation existed. It is a type of guild whose main policy is to nurture the strength of their individuals by mutual support, a typical clan, and Redhead as a holder of the [Job - Warrior] as a
greenhorn wanted to obtain power by serving as a member with them.
And why did such things happen? They explained it to me briefly. The party of girls went through the highway towards the defense city «Trent».
→They were ambushed by a goblin raid with poisoned arrows (so by our parent generation)
→The leader and his fellow members who had command were all killed by the first attack.
→There were a number of experienced escort adventurers, none were novice adventurers. But the goblins (parent generation) were skilled at methodical group work (particularly the 3
Hobgoblins) so they couldn’t compete.
→ There was also the dangerous presence of the Hobgoblin mage whose attacks are difficult to defend against.
→When opposing magic-wielding mages, it is in doubt whether there are anyone who hold higher combat ability than those individuals who has the [Job - Magician]. Otherwise, though the number of times it can be used is limited, but magic items like scrolls or wands that enable even children to use magic were going to be needed. However, there was no way a wandering adventurer can buy such a high-class item.
→As a result, they were subjugated without much resistance, their weapons and goods plundered, the men were killed, the girls who survived were carried off, and we arrived at the present situation.
I shouldn't be the one to say it, but it was a difficult story. Not to mention everyone was
annihilated besides these girls. Well, there's no choice but to call it bad luck.
After telling me that much, they couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.
As expected, they could not even put their feelings about living together with goblins who killed their friends in order, so I thought that any more than this would only be painful, and told them where I left the torch that I prepared along with some blankets, then I went back.
Now I should just do them a favor and let them cry their feelings out.
Well then, I suppose should now start talking about [Jobs]. For non-human beings like demihumans, beastmen, and other monsters, there is a law in this world called [Rank Up (evolution)]. As you could probably guess from my phrasing, the law of [Rank Up (evolution)] does not apply to humans.
But in exchange for that, there are a large number of [Jobs] they can take. Humans are fundamentally less powerful than monsters.
So to strengthen themselves they carry many [Blessings/Improvements] in their bodies gained from the acquisition of a large number of [Jobs]—each with their own requirements, and the requirements become more strict as the jobs become stronger—, becoming a powerful enemy in the process.
Moreover, anyone could easily raise their [Job] level by spending time, and if one has the
prerequisites, it is possible to [rank up (promotion)] to a higher position.
Also, as for those who are called [Great Men] and [Heroes], the improvements from their [Job] are great. And don't laugh, because it looks like these people with [Job - Hero] really exist.
To put it in really simple terms, a monster's [Rank Up (evolution)] is influenced by its characteristics, and can dramatically increase its potential all at once, whereas a human's [rank up (promotion)] grows more slowly than monsters, but anyone is able to gain power if they spend some time.
It's like: either rise several levels in one leap, or slowly but surely rise one level at a time. Either that or a difference in quality and quantity.
This was confirmed later by Gobujii.
