...Yes, they are goblins.

Yes, this doesn't seem like a dream or a prop for a special effects show. If I were to assume that I've really fallen into a game world, this must be an R18 game...

There are a total of thirteen goblins, and the two closest to us are about ten meters away.

The eight goblins behind them are each carrying two men and two women, with wooden sticks piercing their bound hands and feet, carrying them in four groups, two in the front and two in the back.

The two men seem completely unconscious, but the two women have noticed us. Their mouths are gagged, their bodies twisting continuously. Are they trying to attract our attention?

Both the goblins and us were surprised to see each other for a moment... Milia immediately took off her longbow, pulled out an arrow from her waist, and shot and killed the nearest goblin.

Then she shot a second arrow, but the nearest goblin dodged it by tilting its body backward and rolling a few times, then stood up.

This is the signal that the battle has begun.

The goblins all raised their weapons: long swords, short axes, and longbows.

The two goblins with bows were shot and killed by Milia as soon as they took off their longbows.

Milia's archery skills are incredible, without hesitation, her eyes never blinking, left hand holding the bow, right hand constantly pulling out arrows from the quiver at her waist and shooting them out.

There are now only ten goblins left out of the original thirteen.

The remaining ten goblins are all close combat experts, and can even predict and dodge arrows. Aren't goblins supposed to be the weakest of the weak?

How can they move so smoothly!

"Lan, I'll leave the front to you."

"Huh? Me!?"

...I have never fought before.

If I were to be struck by the goblins' long swords and axes, it would be extremely painful. I might even die.

I just want to say, these are definitely not the weapons that weaklings should have! Where are the stone axes and wooden clubs?

Under Milia's incredible archery skills, the goblins were busy dodging, but they were slowly getting closer to us.

There's no choice but to give it our all!

I've trained before, and after all, they are just goblins.

Beginners can easily defeat these weak monsters.

While comforting myself, I drew out my beloved knife from my waist.

As the blade slowly came out, time seemed to slow down as well.

The tension of the impending battle.

The fear of being struck and killed.

The confusion of an unknown world.

- They all vanished.

In their place, a strong sense of determination and confidence filled my heart. I could defeat them. It felt like someone was telling me so...

The change seemed to go beyond just me. Milia stopped her archery, and the goblins were also staring at me blankly...

Isn't this the perfect opportunity!?

I rushed forward, swinging my knife towards the nearest goblin.

With a single stroke, I slit the goblin's throat.

The goblin didn't seem to react at all, and didn't even realize that it had been cut.

The speed was so unbelievable that even I couldn't believe it.

As I watched the head slowly slide off, it felt like a switch had been flipped.

Fuck!

An instinctual urge to kill!

"Don't even think about running away! Ahahaha...!!!"

I sprinted with all my might, slashing, hacking, and stabbing.

The remaining nine goblins were like livestock being slaughtered, beheaded, dismembered, and pierced.

After slicing through the body of the last goblin, a sense of satisfaction reached its peak.

My mind went blank...everything seemed to slow down.

At that moment, an arrow was shot towards me.

I clearly saw the trajectory of the arrow and swung my beloved knife, "clang," knocking it away.

The arrow was not aimed at any vital area. If I hadn't deflected it, it would have only grazed my right arm.

"Milia, what are you doing? Even if I get cut, it'll still hurt!"

"...Huh? You're not going berserk?"

Milia's expression changed from seriousness to surprise.

Berserk? That word reminded me.

I remembered the state I was in just now. Not good, not good, that feeling was not good. Never mind going berserk, this is really bad...

I feel like my pants are bulging... Am I a pervert!?

I looked at the knife in my right hand.

There was no green blood staining it, the mirror-white blade was reflecting the sunlight.It can be said that the previous state... is definitely related to it.

(Swallow) No matter how much I think about it, it's useless anyway. I unconsciously swung my weapon to put it back in its scabbard.

"It's okay, I'm a berserker after all, hahaha."

I pretended to be relaxed and fooled her.

Milia's face relaxed and she walked towards me.

"A berserker shouldn't be like that. I feel like you've completely changed as a person, the way you were just now really scared me..."

"Was it that terrifying?"

"Yes, your eyes were glowing red... and there was a faint black aura emanating from your body, like a legendary god or ghost."

"Did I really become like that? I didn't feel anything at all."

As we were talking, we approached the two bound women.

"Really! I was worried that you would cut us down too..."

"I'm really sorry."

While we were talking, we untied the two bound women.

"Don't worry about it. It's better to die in Lan's hands than become breeding objects for the little goblin tribe."

Milia said as she untied the girl.

I also untied the woman in front of me.

"Sob...ah, thank...thank you...sob..."

The girl took off the rope that bound her mouth and burst into tears, but she didn't forget to say thank you. She was really polite.

"Thank you both for saving our lives... Lena, stop crying, we're safe now."

The more mature woman said thank you and comforted the girl.

"But...but...Lena sacrificed herself to protect me..."

"It's okay...it's okay, I don't mind. In the end, everything turned out for the worse..."

For now, let's leave them alone and go untie the two men, Milia suggested.

...

"This man is already dead."

He had multiple cuts on his body, the blood had coagulated, and his intestines had come out.

It's surprising that I can still remain calm with such a realistic feeling. I'm starting to suspect that I'm a pervert!

"The same goes for the man over here."

I heard Milia's voice.

It seems like these goblins only left the women alive.

"Namu" - I whispered to the corpse and untied him.

"Should we bury them?"

I followed Milia, dragging the corpses along.

"Let's burn them, otherwise they might turn into undead and cause trouble for others."

...It seems like there will be corpse transformations.

"Let's just burn this whole place down."

"Okay."

Milia nodded in agreement.

We walked towards the nearby tents and started tearing the fabric.

"We'll help too."

The two rescued women seemed to have recovered. They joined in tearing down the tents.

With their help, the two tents were easily dismantled.

The remaining tent had goblin pups inside, so we suggested burning the whole thing since it was in such a terrible state.

After dismantling the two tents and stacking them up, we placed the corpses on top.

Just as I was thinking about how to start a fire - "Fireball!"

The more mature woman shouted and raised her right hand.

Energy gathered in her palm and formed a burning fireball that shot towards the four bodies, including the two gnawed skeletons.

The woman used fireball again and ignited the last tent, causing the goblin pups inside to let out piercing cries.

Once again, I realized that this place was definitely not Earth...

The girl who was crying earlier effortlessly lifted a wooden stake as big as her own body.

The woman in front of me conjured fireballs out of thin air.

A mage, or rather, an incantation-less mage...

Milia seemed to think it was normal, so I shouldn't be too surprised.

"Will these fabrics be useful, Milia?"

Milia was folding the fabric that was torn from the tents earlier, which hadn't completely burned, and said, "Hmm, they're a little dirty, but after washing them, they can be made into clothes. Or maybe Lan likes them like this?"

Milia put down the folded fabric and showcased her body.

Don't... I feel sorry when I see those bruises.

-Wait!"What do you mean 'I also like it'!?"

"Huh? Some male pioneers get particularly excited when they see women in tattered clothes..."

The pioneers in this world... seem very straightforward!

I also like it, but the premise is that I'm sitting in front of a computer. Seeing it in reality would be very painful...

In reality, it's better to forget about it... at least for now.

"Um, we are new pioneers from Rundia, named Lucia."

"I'm Silena, thank you..."

The two women who were rescued also came over and introduced themselves.

"I'm Lan, that's my name, it's a bit strange, but it's my real name."

"I'm Milia, also a pioneer. Your badges are C-rank, so how did you end up here?"

Here? Pioneers? C-rank?

I can't keep up with their conversation at all.

The badge Milia mentioned should be the Lan-colored small crystal hanging around the necks of the two women.

But they are really beautiful. Is it a coincidence? Or is the standard for women in this world particularly high?

It's hard to tell if they are Europeans or Asians. If I had to say, they are close to a mixed-race style.

Lucia is the woman who just conjured a fireball. She has long black hair and blue eyes. She is wearing a black shoulder cape dress, and underneath is a black miniskirt that matches the cape. Under her long legs are light black leather boots.

Those pure and tight thighs are hard for me, who has a foot fetish, to ignore...

Silena looks petite, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She's probably around 14 or 15 years old. She's wearing light armor made of fabric and iron, giving a watertight feeling. It's clear that she's a warrior.

From their conversation, I roughly understand that Lucia and Silena are C-rank pioneers who have been working in low-danger areas. They happened to be approached by those two B-rank pioneer men at the guild, so they came to the grasslands with the mindset of relying on stronger individuals.

And then they were surrounded and attacked by the Kobolds.

Looking at it from another angle, I should also thank them. If it wasn't for their appearance, I might have been roasted by now, and Milia might have been...

Anyway, for now, we have decided to act together.
