Chapter 60 – Hunters and Goblins (3)

“Yuri, how are you?”
“It’s okay. There is no sign of anything coming.”
Looking at the minimap, it seemed that Whitebeard was still in the mating room. I set it up as a glass knee sentry just in case, but so far there has been no movement.
“Then shall we begin? Now step back.”
“Yes.”
“Lenny. You know?”
“Yes. Continue the purification. So as not to suffocate.”
“Okay. Then go.”
I opened the torch on the pile of wood inside the cave. The firewood immediately began to burn fiercely. Soon after, the dungeon was filled with smoke.
“Great. Let’s run away!”
Acrid smoke fills the cave. Everyone choked at the fumes. As I got out, Lenny used purification in succession, but I still almost choked several times.
“Whoa…Are you okay?”
“Ha…Ha…Yes…Ha…”
“Th-that wizard… Cough… Couldn’t have escaped, right?”
Yuri kept peeking behind her as if she was a little afraid. Okay. I checked several times, but there was no movement on the minimap.
“I am stuck in it. Now let’s wait.”

What I did was burn the entire dungeon.
Returning to the dungeon, I cut down random trees with the ultra-vibration cutter and stuffed them into my inventory as much as I could.
They were then stacked near the mating chamber and burned to induce asphyxiation.
Actually, I’ve been thinking about this ever since I heard the story of a goblin. I thought that if I blocked the entrance to the dungeon and burned it, I would die from being burned or suffocated. Goblins are not undead like skeletons or irregular creatures like slimes, but they are tagged as humanoids, so they should breathe like humans.

Seeing the numbers go down, I guess I was right.
It should have been like this from the beginning.
Looking at the half-goblins, people couldn’t help but mistake them for kidnapping, but in the end, it was a fuss. I almost got hurt after watching a needlessly terrible sight. Well, since I did it with Yuri…
Anyway, now we just have to wait and watch the smoke pouring out near the dungeon’s entrance.
“It’s riding well… “
“I know, right…”
“But really….That’s great Different warriors are different.”
The word warrior is unfamiliar. Actually, the idea itself is nothing special. If you have an inventory, anyone can do it.
“You can do it too. All you need is a subspace pouch.”
“I can’t do that because it’s expensive.”
…Well, looking at the nuances of advanced artifacts last time, it seemed like that. Anyway, I think the sun is going down soon. Check once…

“Great. It’s all over. They won’t come out anymore.”
Both of them let out a sigh of relief. He says in a tone that he is envious of Yuri.
“Hehe… But can you really know all of that? Why did the Goddess only do that to the warriors? Is there any particular reason you like it?”
I don’t know. But I deliberately made a serious face.
“Goddess never give such abilities for free. Contrary to what you know, goddesses are insidious and shady…”
“Mr. Eugene!”
It’s a joke, but watch him get angry when he hears it straight away. But if you keep making jokes about Lee, you’ll get really scolded by Lenny someday, right? If I don’t somehow fix my habit of wearing reflexively…
Anyway, since Whitebeard is dead too, I need to search the dungeon…
“The smoke shows no signs of stopping. What do you do now? Go back?”
“…No. Let’s sleep here.”
“Yes?!”
“It’s okay.”
There will be no danger. The dungeon was burnt down, and even smoke is still coming out. And the goblins were annihilated.
More than anything,
[ Dungeon #1052 ]
[Type: Goblin (similar human) / ? ]
[ Until reproduction: 47:56:23 ]
Like this. Because you can know the time until the goblin is reborn inside the dungeon.
You don’t even have to worry about your surroundings. The goblins in the dungeon dried up the seeds of nearby wild animals, including wild beasts.
If it hadn’t been for the smoke coming out of the dungeon, he would have slept in the dungeon at all. Ironically, the dungeon where the monsters disappeared became the safest place.
After explaining that, Yuri’s face became convinced.
“I am in favor. It is said that wild beasts have disappeared in this area, but I don’t know what the way to go is. It is dangerous to ride in the mountains at night.”
“Well, then me too… “
Confident Yuri and hesitant Lenny.
Lenny…At Emils, he grabbed Yuri and me all at once, but to see them shrink like this again…It’s cute, but it’s a pity. What should I do… I’ll have to think about it.
I hid my concerns and raised my voice pretending to be cheerful.
“Great. Then let’s make a bed!”
…
Take a position slightly below the ridge where you can monitor the dungeon.
Take a pickaxe from your inventory, dig up the ground to make a pit, put in a bunch of stones Yuri and Lenny have collected, and heat it up with a torch. After that, cover the soil again, set up the tent you bought at Guardians Fort, and put a blanket inside, and a cozy bed is completed.
“Somehow you seem used to it. Have you ever done anything like this before?”
“Just. I was a soldier before.”
“Hehe…”
The sparkling glass eyes. Seeing such an envious expression on her cheeky face makes me want to be mean for no reason.
“Why? Do you look different because you were a real soldier? Unlike the daughter of a hunter somewhere…”
“Ah, hey! Are you still doing that with it? What a little bit!”
“…”
I kicked the opportunity to be proud… I should have only done verse 1…
“Yujin… Wouldn’t it be better to forget about that past…”
“…”
Lenny looked at him with slightly sad eyes. How to clear up this misunderstanding…
…
“Great. My night shift is Yuri, me and Lenny. Let’s do it in this order. “
Lenny doesn’t know how to look at the stars, so he doesn’t know the time, so it’s the last time. Because I can wake up with a system alarm in the middle.
Why do you keep vigil? It’s clear that everything in the dungeon is dead, but there’s what if.
“What will Goblin…Wilson do?”
“He has other things to do.”
Wilson hid it near the entrance to the dungeon to keep an eye on. I will scream if something happens. It’ll ring my system too.
It doesn’t matter if we have it next to us…It just…Feels…Bad…
…
It’s late at night, but it’s still a bit early to go to sleep. While watching the dungeon, I had a simple dinner.
“Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve come here to see the night sky.”
I didn’t know anything about constellations, but there were certain things I could feel. If you came from Earth, you wouldn’t know.
“It’s definitely a little different here.”
“Yu, how was the place where Yujin lived?”
Lenny hesitantly brings out her words of her. Since Lenny misunderstood me, he didn’t want to talk about my past like that. But what’s the whim today?
“Hmm… First of all, the moon is a little smaller than here.”
The full moon in this world was big and bright, and if you had good night vision, you wouldn’t need a torch or light. But I don’t see that as such a big difference. The biggest difference…
“… Satellites on that moon? Little moon? I don’t know what to say. There is nothing like that.”
Rows of small satellites were orbiting the moon. Only 4 that can be seen… No, 5.
“That’s the moon necklace.”
“What is that?”
“Hehe…Listen carefully.”
Yuri started talking about her old days her in a smug voice.
The warrior of the sun and the demon king of the moon, the forbidden love between the two, and the two who could not be united in the end. The hero eventually resigns without killing the demon king, and the demon king is sealed in the moon. However, the hero leaves his necklace as a proof of his lover his for the demon king.
“What do you think? Aren’t you romantic?”
“…That’s right.”
My feelings after hearing that story…
‘If I mix Romeo and Juliet, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl and degrade it, this would be the story.’
It was a bit of a trite novel. I don’t know if this guy’s speech is bad or if old stories are like that. They say you’re a genre novel fanatic, but your storytelling skills aren’t that great. Is it only for reading?
“It’s not like that.”
Lenny sighs a little after hearing Yuri’s story.
“That’s not romantic like a necklace… It’s proof. Proof of subjugation by the goddess subduing the demon.”
Dog collar? Humid too…
“Mr. Eugene?!”
“No, nothing.”
Okay. It would look weird if he stopped listening and slapped himself in the face. Still, it’s better than getting hit by static electricity.
“Anyway, that’s how it’s recorded in our school. In the war of the gods a thousand years ago, the goddess eventually won, and as a proof of submission, it is a chain that bound the moon god.”
“Okay? Anyway, isn’t it true that the Goddess and the Demon God had exchanges? So, wouldn’t something like that happen?”
“Mister Yuri! Disrespectful!”
Yuri with a twirling smile and Lenny with an expression that said he heard something.
“Hehe… What do you think?”
“Both of you are pathetic. One side is a trivial novel, and the other side is a perverted goddess…”
…
Their eyes are so hot. Unconsciously, I said it too honestly. I didn’t know if the arrow would come back to me, so I was careless.
I need something, something different…
“Uh, but… You said you defeated the demon god of the moon? Then what is the war going on with the demons in the east? Shouldn’t it be wiped out?”
Lenny spoke with a slightly serious expression.
“Eugene-ssi… Well, it’s only natural that you don’t know. Just because something like that happened in the heavenly realm, the Goddess won’t interfere with us like that.”
“Why?”
Come to think of it, I think Kate had a similar story.
“Because you value our will. The same goes for the demons. Even though they are creatures of the Demon God, doing that to a target that has the potential to be reformed… Because the goddess is lenient.”
…Generous? Swear words that could not be completed with words linger inside me.
No, of course I thank the goddess, but if I want to curse, I want to curse. A person can’t always show a consistent attitude toward a certain object, right? It’s called a love-hate relationship.
“Great. Then I’ll go in slowly. It’s yuri Please take good care of me.”
“Yeah, I’m resting.”
…
She lingered in the tent and settled down when Lenny suddenly opened her mouth. It’s a slightly subdued voice.
“…Yujin.”
“Yes?”
“Even though Eugene is not a member of the goddess-sama’s household… But a little… “
“…”
A slightly bitter face soon changed to a pitiful expression.
“Hey, if it weren’t for the goddess…I, I wouldn’t have met Yujin…I’ve been like that all my life…”
…Right. Since the goddess sent me, to belittle the goddess like that is from Lenny’s point of view…
It’s not just a problem as a priest. There must be such a problem
“Sorry. I’ll be careful.”
“Yes…”
Lenny burrowed into my arms with a sad face. Ever since I did it with Yuri, I’ve been feeling sorry for him.
Come to think of it, Emily’s attitude was a little strange.
How should I…
In my agony, I fell asleep.
