Chapter 3: Goblin Extermination
Marianne, who had enlisted Rudolf and Ellie as military officers, guided the people as the lord of the Nagal region. While she had the villainess-like cunningness, she treated everyone equally, and strangely, no one left her side.
"Now, I will give a lecture!"
"Yes, Marianne-sama!"
Marianne was giving self-defense lectures to the civil officials. According to her, even civil officials should learn martial arts to protect themselves. Aelusdro and Rudolf quietly observed her.
"Marianne seems very motivated. Although the content is a bit off..."
"Aelusdro, is Marianne always like this?"
"Ah, she's a villainess, you know. Oh, keep it a secret from Marianne."
"Understood."
Aelusdro and Rudolf had a conversation, making sure Marianne couldn't hear them.
Thus, Marianne's lecture came to an end, and they decided to prepare lunch using vegetables from the field. However, when Aelusdro went to the field, he noticed that there were very few crops.
"Huh? There are ridiculously few vegetables..."
"Indeed. Could it be that goblins have caused this?"
Goblins are demons distributed throughout the world. They typically steal crops from villagers and get defeated by adventurers, making them the typical victims. However, due to their extremely high breeding ability, if left unchecked, the damage would spread extensively.
"So there were goblins even in this remote area."
"If we don't eliminate them soon, the ingredients here will eventually run out."
"We will take care of the goblin extermination. You all stay here."
The residents opposed the idea of the lord herself going to exterminate goblins, but Marianne silenced them all with an intimidating smile.
"Well then, please take care of things here while I'm away."
"Yes, Marianne-sama!"
And so, Aelusdro and the others set out to exterminate the goblins.
That night... the group arrived at a nearby cave in the Nagal region. It seemed that the goblins had made this their hideout. At the entrance of the cave, a goblin stood guard.
"What should we do?"
"Leave it to me," said Rudolf.
Rudolf stepped forward and skillfully lured the goblin out with his fluent goblin language. The goblin slowly approached Rudolf. His words sounded like a sweet voice to the goblin, who staggered closer to Rudolf.
"Now we can safely finish it off, Ellie."
"Yes."
Ellie took out a dagger from her pocket and stabbed the defenseless goblin in the back.
"We should be safe now. Let's go in!"
"Yes!"
As Aelusdro and the others entered the cave, they noticed collapsed sections inside. There was a relatively long path, with paths on the left, right, and center open.
"Hmm, what should we do about the light?"
"Leave it to me!"
Ellie waved her finger, and it emitted light.
"The light is on."
"I am a fairy of light, after all. Now, let's go!"
"Wait! Let me search for the enemies' whereabouts."
Marianne stopped Ellie and listened carefully on the right side.
"I can hear voices. There must be enemies here."
Upon hearing Marianne's advice, the group chose the right passage.
As they proceeded along the passage, they found goblins resting.
"There they are, goblins!"
Aelusdro pointed at the goblins.
The goblins noticed Aelusdro and the others and raised their voices.
Individually, goblins were weak, but their collective strength in numbers was formidable. However, since there was no goblin leader present at the moment, they were just a disorganized crowd.
"Here I go! Wide Shot!"
Marianne aimed her pistols with both hands and fired wildly at the group of goblins.
Although the goblins evaded her attacks, Marianne had a smirk on her face. It was because the bullets she fired hit the cave wall and reflected back.
When the reflected bullets hit the vulnerable spots of the goblins, they suffered significant damage.
"Impressive, Marianne."
"Don't just stand there, join the attack!"
"Yes! Oh, Spirit of the Wind, invisible impact! Wind Blast!"
Rudolf unleashed a shockwave of wind from his staff, blowing the goblins away and slamming them into the wall, rendering them unable to fight.
Two goblins swung their pickaxes towards Marianne, but Ellie created a barrier of light, reducing the damage significantly.
"Haaaah!"
Aelusdro swung his sword forcefully and cleaved a goblin in two.
Then, he leaped up and impaled a bow-wielding goblin with his sword.
"Are these all the goblins?"
As Aelusdro tried to sheathe his sword, he felt a commotion behind them.
"Could it be the goblin leader has arrived?"
"We'll take care of it quickly!"
"Light!"
"Wide Shot!"
Ellie infused Marianne's gun barrel with the power of light, and Marianne fired a barrage of glowing bullets.
Rudolf generated stone projectiles and attacked the goblins, defeating them.
A goblin swung its pickaxe at Rudolf, but perhaps feeling the effects of its previous injuries, it missed.
"Let's go, Dark Slash!"
Aelusdro's dark-infused slash cut a goblin in half, and at the same time, they heard footsteps from behind them. When they turned around, they saw a goblin standing there, and the morale of the remaining goblins rose. Most likely, this goblin was their leader.
Aelusdro tightened his grip on his sword, readying himself.
"You've arrived! I'll take down the goblin leader! Poison Bullet!"
Marianne coated her bullets with poison and shot the goblin leader with her pistols. The goblin leader's face turned pale, and its health gradually decreased.
"Ohohohoho, suffer from poison!"
Watching Marianne laugh maniacally at the sight, the three of them thought, [She really is a villainess.]
While smiling wryly, Rudolf used wind magic to attack the goblin leader.
However, the goblin leader, despite being attacked by Marianne's poison, charged at her and attacked her with its short sword.
"Kyaaa! What are you doing?"
"Because Marianne was laughing..."
"That doesn't matter right now! Let's finish this quickly!"
"Meteor Assault!"
Aelusdro rushed at the goblin leader and cut it with his sword.
A goblin wielding a bow approached Marianne and shot an arrow at her. Marianne narrowly avoided it, and Aelusdro shot the goblin leader he was attacking, rendering it unable to fight.
"All right! We've taken down the goblin leader!"
With the goblin leader defeated, the remaining goblins were now mere pests.
Ellie scattered light and Rudolf delivered the finishing blows, the goblin horde was swiftly wiped out.
"We won...!"
Marianne, who had enlisted Rudolf and Ellie as military officers, guided the people as the lord of the Nagal region. While she had the villainess-like cunningness, she treated everyone equally, and strangely, no one left her side.
