In order not to let them hurt anyone, I hunt every single orc that I can find there. Not only sweeping out all the orcs, I also found a pack of goblins which also fallen prey to my axe. I do so because I also want to help Deen fulfill his wish of revenge towards the goblin.
There was one time I received a critical hit from a goblin that manages to pierce my defense but the damage is a pitiful 3…… which is just no more than a scratch wound. It will be healed by my natural regen eventually which is in about 30 minutes or so.
And when I finally get out of the forest, there are Monica-san, the kids, and even there also Riona there waiting for me. Seeing me walks out from the forest, Riona immediately runs up to me and then glomp on my body.
“Hiro-chan……!”
“…… While you leisurely walk here, I have finished wrapping up the mess. Nothing big happened, don’t worry”
“I’m glad…… I’m glad……”
Riona clings at me tightly and refuses to let go. Then Ash slowly approaches me. His face looks very apologetic and he can bring himself to not lower his head.
“I’m sorry, even when I’m together with them…… that orc suddenly appear out of nowhere and I was……”
“…… don’t worry about it”
“W-what kind of manner is that! You must be looking down on us for being weak don’t you!”
Deen is snapping back at my reply but I don’t feel angry at him. I am quite different from the usual 2 years old so if Deen who is older than me getting jealous at me is something that can’t be helped.
“Hiroto, did you bring that think the goblin stole from Deen’s father?”
“…… I got it with me”
LOG
- You have handed [leather hat] to Deen.
“…… W-why did you have this? …… the ones that came out were just that pig-like monster and……”
There is a special goblin named goblin thief. And as the name suggest, it has chances to steal item from its victim. Deen objective is to take this back from the goblin…… because buying another leather hat would cost him 10 silver.
Fortunately, I found the goblin thief who attacked Deen’s father and managed to defeat it. When I look at the item that it drops, I finally realize his true motives.
“I don’t need this. Here, for you”
“T-that’s the hat that dad received from my mom! Don’t you dare mock it!”
Deen forcefully snatches that hat from my hand.
If I can say things better, would it come to this……? I can’t help thinking about that seeing Deen’s reaction but it seems like that Deen is always at the odds with me.
But Deen and I are not the only one present here.
“Deen, Hiroto had saved my life you know. You should also properly thank him”
“Uu…… b-but…… Stella……”
