I’m completely looking down at them. “They'd be in my blind spot if they got too close; I'd completely lose sight of them."
Soon after, Gobumi-chan came out from the back and realized that it was me. Just like that, the rest of the goblin’s wariness vanished.
Gobumi-chan who identified me in an instant, had her facial expression turned into that of anger. And with all her might, kicked me in the shin.
It didn’t hurt at all, though I acted like I was in pain. However the one who truly felt pain was Gobumi-chan, so I casually healed her with my healing skills to ease her discomfort.
As soon as her pain subsided, Gobumi-chan made me do seiza.
TL Note : seiza means an upright kneeling position that is traditionally used in Japan in meditation and as part of the preparation in martial arts.
She was really worried, saying things like “What were you doing?”, “How did you turn into an Ogre?”. I was being nagged. Since I lost my left hand, I couldn’t refute her nagging. Besides, I can’t talk back when I could notice her tearing up a little. I was about to say sorry for making you worry, but then Gobukichi and Redhead arrived after hearing the commotion.
Of course, they were surprised. So surprised they couldn’t even stop their mouths from hanging open.
Well, of course they would if they were worried because I didn't return the first day, and then came back as an Ogre the next.
To offer a tentative explanation of the events, once the key members such as Gobue-chan, Hobusei-san, Hobusato-san, and Gobujii had been gathered, I started explaining.
I chased the other goblins out saying that I will tell them later.
Eh…, when I thought I should return soon after hunting I found a ‘Red Bear’. To test my strength, and partially because of instinct, I attacked it.
After that, the fighting that started in the evening continued through the night, it only concluded when the sun came up yesterday morning.
After that I couldn't move because I had taken heavy damage, so I erected a barrier using my thread and slept in an attempt to recover my strength.
Then, a while ago when I opened my eyes I had become an ogre. A rare variant at that, too.
My equipment had become worn out, but I had the Red Bear's pelt as a trophy, so it wasn't much of a loss.
