chapter 11
011 – Goblin is like a cat
011 – The goblin is like a cat
New, new-.
Naru lay down on the bed and slept well.
I asked a small question next to Naru.
“Naru-ya, if you don’t get up right now, will we eat all the cakes by ourselves without you?”
“Nayauuu… . Nooo… .”
“Hi-Hi.”
It’s fun.
I recently felt that Naru fell asleep within 5 seconds of putting her head on the pillow.
And when I fell asleep like that, I never woke up.
It was a heavenly difference from my shallow sleep.
I have to toss and turn for about an hour before I can barely fall asleep.
Even if you fall asleep like that, it’s like a nap, and you wake up when you hear the slightest sound.
It’s a habit born of the rough street life—it’s rather my nature.
In that sense, Naru’s sweet sleep probably resembled her mother’s.
Did any of the girls I know sleep this well?
As I was thinking about it for a while, the door creaked open.
Shaaa-.
Hot steam escapes from the open door.
What I saw after that was whiter toes than I thought.
Above them, thin ankles, strong calves, and thighs without flab were visible.
A smooth belly and large breasts hidden by a towel reveal their presence on top of leather pants that look like short dolphin pants. A state in which water drops drip from wet hair.
“I can feel the insidious gaze. devil’s… ?”
Garot looked around.
At the same time, I pretended not to see anything and turned my head away.
“Wait, you. You have to come out dressed properly!”
Brigitte was angry with Garrot, who had just washed up.
However, after wiping off the water from his body, Garot took care of himself and put on the clothes he had spread out on the sofa.
“I was drenched in sweat from the journey to this place, but now I will live. Thank you for lending me a shower room, wizard. I haven’t washed in a week.”
You haven’t washed in a week?
Well, in a world where there are no proper water facilities, it was not uncommon to not be able to wash for a week. In my case, there were times when I couldn’t wash for two months.
By the way.
What surprised me was that despite not washing for a week, there was no smell that could be called a stench from Garot.
Even after washing, the smell of soap was faint.
A person from the land of savages, but after all, a woman is a woman.
It’s different from the rugged, hairy guys. The guys I’ve seen are uncomfortable even after washing them.
Bogrrr-.
Garrot skillfully brewed a cup of coffee from the coffee machine installed in the lab.
Then he drank it and sat down on the sofa.
“First of all, I’d like to talk about the imps we’re going to hunt this time. How much do you know about imps?”
are you asking me
Impra.
“To be honest, I don’t know much. Is it difficult to see goblins on the battlefield? I’ve seen a lot of other hideous Prime Evils.”
“Well, it will. But, unknowingly, you may have met an imp. Imps have a knack for disguise and transformation. You live in a human world pretending to be human.”
That’s right.
Well, this much knowledge I knew.
Brigitte also intervened in the conversation, a little rude about saying something obvious.
“Isn’t it common knowledge that imps are good at transforming? The question is, how do you find those guys? That’s why we’re hiring you, the expert.”
“I’m not going to find an imp.”
what?
You mean you’re going to give up your duties when I tried to hire you to find an imp?
He was a very bold man.
“No—”
As Brigitte parted her lips as if to say something about this, Garot added.
“A good demon hunter doesn’t seek demons. make them come to themselves Especially imps are like cats. If you approach first, they will run away, and if you run away, they will chase you.”
I’m not sure exactly what you mean, but it seemed pretty plausible.
I memorized it and I should use it someday.
“Of course we have to keep it a secret that we are digging a trap. Imps are more timid and cautious than you think, so if you feel uneasy, they run away and hide.”
covert speed.
I guess that’s the crux of this operation.
“It’s important to hide this ‘Yalubalu Grass’ in the pillows of the imps. Yaluvalu grass is a poisonous plant that causes allergies only to demons. Imps who sleep on such a pillow lose their ability to ‘transform’ for a day or so. It’s supposed to show its tail.”
You can catch it then.
The explanation was simple and easy.
Everything was perfect except for the oddly off-putting grass name.
After listening to the explanation for a while, Brigitte spoke.
“Then, the important thing is whether or not you can sneak into the imp’s house naturally. great. This is the strategy I was thinking of.”
Chak-.
Brigitte pulled out a white piece of paper.
Then, he sketched a picture on it with charcoal.
“It is certain information that imps enter the school pretending to be normal children. But we don’t know who the kid is. So I need Naru’s help here.”
Naru.
Before I knew it, Naru, who had made a lot of friends, was drawn like a children’s fairy tale on the white paper.
“Naru entered Graham Academy and made a lot of friends. Then go to their friends’ houses and hide that yalupul in a pillow.”
It was a pretty good job, in my opinion.
The imp will be less suspicious if the little Naru moves than if we move.
“For that to happen, first of all, the naru must have a special characteristic to stand out from the imp. Garot, how to make the imps approach first?”
At Brigitte’s question, Garrot picked up the charcoal.
Then, he drew a crown on Naru’s head.
“Simple. Imps like to stick under the strong. The strong person referred to here is not necessarily a person with strong power. Pretty, rich, or good at studies. These are people who have something special. Do imps like to be flattered by such people and get things from them?”
Did the goblins have another characteristic like that?
My knowledge has grown exponentially.
So now we can draw conclusions.
I said.
“Then, when Naru enters school, makes a lot of friends, gets first place in the whole school, and becomes the best student, the imp will stick around.”
I remember when I said it.
That Naru’s grades made it difficult to even get into Graham Academy.
“Brigitte, Garrot. Do you have any other plans?”
* * *
“Now, here is the problem. Where is the capital of the kingdom of Ordor?”
“Ugh… Ordor… . I don’t know.”
“Naruya, the capital of the kingdom of Ordor is not Mola, but Ordor. It’s a kingdom built on top of the old capital city of Ordor. Do you understand now?”
Brigitte continued to explain various things in front of Naru.
It was a moment that reminded me of the old homework.
I also gave the homework teacher a lot of trouble.
Perhaps it was the first strong enemy he had ever met in his life.
“So, Naruya, where is the capital of Dolores Kingdom? There are only two days left until the entrance exam, so I have to get this right now.”
“The capital of the kingdom… , Ordor!”
“No, it is the capital of the Kingdom of Ordor. The capital of the kingdom of Dolores is St. Fabrium Wingbrke Orchobos Belta Maria Sancho Verusalaya. Understand? You can’t forget it.”
“… … .”
no.
how do you memorize it
i can’t sing either
Indeed, it seems that Graham Academy was a school where the brightest and geniuses entered.
Even if I took the entrance exam now, I was confident that I would go mad.
Soon, Garot snorted with excitement.
“Hmph, putting useless things into your head only leads to hesitation. Barbarian women need only know how to survive. As long as you have a strong body, you can do anything.”
Garrot’s child education policy seemed somewhat laissez-faire.
Maybe it’s because she’s from Barbaria.
Suddenly, a hypothesis came to mind.
To be honest, Naru’s basic academic status is… I couldn’t say it was very good.
Maybe it’s because my mother didn’t educate me?
The mother’s education policy for her children was ‘negligence’.
Because I think so.
Garot looks more suspicious.
If I married Garot and gave birth to Naru… .
Did this Garot do things like that with me every night?
… I honestly can’t imagine!
It must be because the graphics card of my imagination has become obsolete because it has not been updated since it came to this world!
Shuk-.
Then Garot looked at my face.
When I was nervous, wondering if I had noticed that I was spying on him, he said.
“Do I really need to study for the test? According to rumors, Judas, you are a thief. Isn’t it just a matter of stealing the test papers that have already been made?”
It was a pretty plausible story.
If the entrance exam papers were prepared in advance.
However, Brigitte shook her head about this story.
“Impossible. The entrance exam papers are written and supervised by Graham’s principal, El Cladeco. Even if the test papers have already been made, they should be in the dean’s office.”
“El Cladecora. I’ve heard of him too. The first one to reach the Platinum tier? He was the one who organized the level, tier, and karma calculation method in the first place.”
Was it El Cladeco that divided people’s levels and tiers according to their skills?
You were a bigger person than I thought.
“I heard that he was the first to insist on the transcendental theory that he could ‘transcend’ a human when he reached level 50. I don’t know if it’s real or not.”
Garot knew more than he thought.
It seems you need a lot of knowledge to make a living as a demon hunter.
“Garot, you’re smarter than you look.”
It suits the current situation.
Thinking so, Brigitte said.
“It’s not smart, it’s common sense. Isn’t El Cladeco the person who is said to be closest to level 50? If we break into the office of such a person and get caught, our plan itself will be ruined.”
It makes sense.
“Also, there are many cases where wizards’ workshops have their own barriers or formations. Not to mention, for the current Judas to hide in a workshop comparable to that of Cladeco, it would be an act of suicide.”
Brigitte was wise too.
It is indeed the brain of the demon king breakthrough party.
Such a guy shouted with confidence for a long time.
“Well, if Naru passed, there’s nothing to worry about. I’ll somehow make him a good enough student at Graham Academy in the next couple of days.”
“Naru, I’ll try my best! For Dad and Mom!”
It was Naru who raised her hand high and showed enthusiasm.
