「What’s going on?」
I was about to approach Zelma, but Willy stopped me.
I’m not sure if I’m allowed to talk to her directly. It’s a very selfish way of thinking, even though the other side will talk to you without permission.
「A merchant was being attacked by goblins, so I saved him.」
「Goblins, the village chief said they’ve been popping up lately.」
He touched his chin with his hand as he replied and then fell silent.
I guess he was waiting for the rest of the story.
「There was also an “Elite” class of goblins in the mix, called ［Goblin Berserkers］. He’s the type that prefers to work alone except for the King-ranked ［Goblin Lord］, who has a habit of living in packs.」
「I see. Are you saying that there is a Goblin Lord stronghold near here?」
「Yes. In addition to that, they are actively attacking people, so I believe that there is a high possibility that they will invade Yang shortly.」
「…… This is getting troublesome. I’ll report it to Zelma-sama. You should be on the lookout for the perimeter.」
After I finished my orders, I went to the place where Zelma and Regina were waiting.
I pretended to be vigilant about the surroundings and looked at the 3 Noblemen.
Willy would give the report, Zelma would ask a few questions, and Regina would occasionally give her opinion. Even Zelma was troubled by the fact that the problem had been discovered before the dungeon survey. She couldn’t seem to conclude right away, so she gave instructions to Regina and Willy, and then left them alone. She leaned against a tree and seemed to be thinking about the future.
After a while, Regina came to me with Sophie.
「I heard someone was injured. Where are the merchant and adventurers?」
A nobleman is concerned about the injuries of commoners? Unusual. No, is it possible that Regina loves ideals?
That would mean that she made a request to Zelma and it came true, but would she make such a request to a Nobleman with a higher title than hers?
I can only think of questions about behavior that is far off from the image of aristocrats, that I know.
「…… how can I help you?」
Sophie had a worried look on her face. The fact that she didn’t respond probably made her worried.
I was too distracted. The person in front of me was a nobleman. Even though it’s unlikely, she’s someone you can’t complain to even if she cuts you off if you’re in a bad mood.
I discarded my doubts and changed my mind.
「I’m sorry, Sir. I’ll be with you in a moment.」
I take the two of them and return to the place where we were fighting earlier.
The merchant was checking the damage to the wagons and goods, while the adventurers were treating each other’s wounds.
I was not used to the way they bandaged themselves.
Once again, he had no armor to protect him, only armor to protect his body and nothing to protect his arms and legs.
He must be a rookie adventurer with no money. I’m sure he’s lucky to have met someone who helped him to survive instead of dying.
