Chapter 275 - Chapter 273: Episode 273
Since the public doesn't know about my bestiality with a goblin yet, they must have decided to keep it private, only doing it in front of the female soldiers.
'...But wait, it's okay to do it with an elf, so why is it forbidden with a goblin? Because they're monsters?
In this eroge world, female goblins just feel like loli beauties... they just happen to have green skin.
The standards and common sense of this world are sometimes hard to grasp. Elves are treated as a different race, while goblins are just monsters...'
I mean, I get the logic, but it's not exactly convincing.
Given Azael's intelligence, goblins could easily be classified as a different race.
If anything, the wild elves aren't exactly normal either... ah... so that's why some wild elves were treated as monsters too.
Anyway...
I only managed to get into the hotel late at night after being thoroughly gang-raped by the female soldiers and their group.
Of course, my rest didn't start there; Azael, who'd been holding it in, pounced on me.
"Ha-eut♥ Ang♥ He-eut♥ Ha-ang♥"
"Ah... seriously... I can't watch this. How can you enjoy it even with a goblin?
Your brain must really be in your dick. If you stick it in a pussy, is that just a free pass for everything?"
"Pu-heu-heu-heu♡ It's fun, why are you like that? It's funny because it looks like Do-jin has hit rock bottom♡
Jung Su-yeon, you're too strict with others, and you seem to have a bit of an elitist streak, too."
"Huh, wow. I'm dumbfounded hearing that from Teacher Park Hye-ji.
And if anyone saw you doing bestiality with a goblin, they'd think exactly the same thing, wouldn't they?"
As I let out moans while Azael pounced on me,
Jung Su-yeon shook her head and clicked her tongue,
while Park Hye-ji watched as if it were entertaining, taking out her phone to snap pictures and videos.
Again. Trying to blackmail me with that again.
It was an obvious trick, but I couldn't do anything because I was being squeezed dry by Azael, who had been holding it in for so long.
The next day.
We passed the civilian control checkpoint easily.
The female soldiers called out to the passing vehicle, "Oppa! Give us some more when you come back!", but I kept my head down and exercised my right to remain silent.
We drove along until the paved road ended and an unpaved track began.
Eventually, even that track ended, so we had to park the car wherever we could and continue on foot.
The place we arrived at was a mountain village in Gangwon-do where a dungeon gate had caused an erosion phenomenon.
It's common knowledge that if you don't discover the gate in advance and perform 'proper processing' before it erodes the real world, this happens.
It's like a hunter-genre eroge world; I guess you could say it has those kinds of gimmick settings baked into the reality...
Anyway, because of that 'erosion phenomenon,' the surrounding environment had changed, and monsters were spilling out from beyond the gate.
"The forest gets really dense from here. I can clearly tell where the boundary is."
"Can't you sense it with mana? You don't have to state the obvious.
...Ah, come to think of it, Do-jin, you can't really sense mana, can you...
Sometimes I wonder how you even got into the Hunter Academy, Do-jin...
No, wait. Since it's the Male Service Department special admission, maybe they just accepted you thinking 'good enough' even without mana."
"Still, they must have accepted you because you had at least a little bit of hunter talent... or is that not it...?
Did they really just accept you without checking anything because you applied through the Male Service Department special admission?
Kim Do-jin, can't you feel this rich plant-type mana?"
Park Hye-ji and Jung Su-yeon took turns nagging me because I couldn't sense the mana.
"...I, I can't feel it... ...c, come to think of it, the air feels a bit refreshing, maybe...."
"Refreshing my ass. It feels like I'm suffocating."
"You really can't feel it, huh. That's serious. Serious."
"Husband, it's okay. A boy can be like that. A woman does everything. Protects."
As we went deep into the forest, Park Hye-ji and Jung Su-yeon gave me and Azael the rundown on precautions.
And above all, they said they would never intervene in our hunt.
"Did you hear me? The teacher and I won't intervene even if you get hurt."
"...R, really? ...Even if I get hurt a lot?"
"We're here to protect you from villains, and to keep an eye on you so you don't run away.
We'll save you before you die because it's too dangerous, but if you act up relying on that, know that you're going to get beaten.
Jung Su-yeon, you watch him yourself. I'm going to find a reasonably big tree and take a nap. Call me if anything happens."
"No, what the... damn... She's really a salary thief... Dumping all this work on me? I'm dumbfounded, really..."
Park Hye-ji left, saying she was going to take a nap.
Jung Su-yeon grumbled about being dumbfounded and told me to hurry up and hunt.
Originally, I was going to just set a fire with Azael...
but since it's late autumn, the brush would probably catch too easily.
If I did that, a forest fire would break out and cause a major disaster, so the fire plan was scrapped.
Besides, setting a fire isn't really 'hunting,' so I didn't think I'd get proper points for it anyway...
"Azael, what's your plan?"
"Fire. Set."
"No... I told you we can't do that... You said that with your own mouth too..."
"Husband, stupid. Set fire in a limited space. Listen to me.
Look here. Now, dig a trap like this. And set fire there. Done."
Azael explained the operation as if drawing on the ground.
So, dig a circular space like a trap, prepare firewood, and then light it when the plant-type monster comes...
"If I do this, the fire won't spread elsewhere. Instead, the fire's power is weak. So, the finish must be done by me and Husband."
I nodded and decided to follow the plan of Azael, who had already caught a plant monster before.
But from the perspective of Jung Su-yeon, who was watching from behind, it seemed she thought we were pathetic.
"Pfft, as expected of a goblin, look at how crude the operation is."
"No, why are you killing our Azael's spirit? Our Azael might look like this, but she said she's caught plant monsters before."
"A plant monster would fall for such a childish trap? Aren't you underestimating it too much? Hey, goblin. Tell me honestly. Have you really caught one?"
"Caught. Azael, no lie. With Mom and aunts, all together, caught many times."
"I don't really believe it... well, it's not my business anyway. Try hard. Tsk, I don't know if it will work though."
Although Jung Su-yeon dampened the mood, Azael went about her work indifferently.
She told me to just rest, but she worked hard to dig the ground and camouflaged it so it wouldn't be discovered as a trap...
anyway, she was very busy.
I couldn't just rest while Azael was working so hard, so I helped her as much as I could.
We dug the ground together, and I moved stones and trees as Azael instructed...
"He-euk, hek... It's hard... I know why you said we need to bring a shovel and a pickaxe..."
"Hunting is originally hard. But traps are easier than real hunting. Traps are advantageous.
Husband, even if I go wrong in the future, keep this in mind. Fighting the enemy is about deceiving.
This is a maxim...? A famous saying...? that comes down from my mom's mom's mom... the mom at the very top.
It's a saying that comes down from the greatest goblin warrior and general.
Fighting the enemy is about deceiving, so the best way to deceive the enemy is surprise, ambush, and traps.
Husband, do you understand? In dealing with the enemy, the best thing is to deceive."
I just nodded, and Jung Su-yeon, who was next to me, also nodded and said.
"For a goblin, you're saying quite wise things. It's something a real general would say."
"It's the words of the greatest goblin general. When the brown goblins invaded, he defeated 550 ships with 12 ships."
"...Goblins had ships too?"
When I asked if goblins had ships, Azael said in a voice filled with regret for the past.
"Had. In the old days. In the days when goblin kingdoms and empires were flourishing."
It's like a citizen of a country that was strong in the past but is now ruined talking.
By the way, it seems like the setting is that goblins were also quite successful in the past.
"...But how did the goblins get ruined?"
"A certain powerful race, a race that knew how to handle mana and science and had a damn large population,
invaded us calling us 'monsters'... hmm... It seems we were ruined because of that race.
Just a little while ago, a boy very close to me said let's hunt 'goblins'. Because of his grades."
"...S, sorry... ...I, I was wrong."
Ruined because of humans!
Sorry...!!! I was wrong...!!! Humans were wrong~!!!
But if it was something like this, shouldn't Jung Su-yeon also be sorry instead of persecuting Azael, who is a goblin?
Jung Su-yeon, what do you think?!
When I stared at Jung Su-yeon with wide eyes, she seemed to realize the meaning of my gaze and hurriedly said as if making an excuse.
"...Th, that's very old history. Ordinary people don't know well. I didn't know either...
And in the first place, it's natural for the strong to dominate the weak. Goblins being trampled?
That just proves that humans are the lords of creation and the race that will rule over all animals and monsters.
It's natural for inferior races and ethnicities to be trampled and dominated by superior races and ethnicities."
"...?"
What is this... did I hear wrong...
That, what should I say... it seems like a creepy ideology...
"...Right. ...That's right."
No, Azael. How can you agree with such a strange ideology.
I can't logically refute what it is, but I know it's strange...
Ah... I don't know... I'll just dig the ground too.
While we were talking, the trap was prepared step by step, and
Azael dug the ground 100 times better than me.
It's not a joke; if I dug 1 unit of ground for 1 hour, Azael dug about 100.
Maybe she dug even more than that.
Was the gap in strength between me and Azael that big...?
As expected, in the gender-reversed world, the gap in strength between women and men is enormous...
"Goblin, you've mastered mana. At this level, are you goblin warrior class? Not bad.
I was unsure, but seeing you use strength while digging, I know. Using mana."
Jung Su-yeon said as if she realized something after seeing Azael.
"No. I am Ninja Goblin."
"I'm dumbfounded, what is a Ninja Goblin again?"
"Learned stealth arts on YouTube. I am Ninja Goblin."
"Like master, like servant, you really have a screw loose in your brain."
"Not master. My husband."
"Haa... yeah. I got it. Why would I argue with a goblin."
...Eh?
Azael, you mastered mana? When?
Why didn't you tell me anything?
By the way, was the gap in strength this big because of mana...?
