Isekai Taneuma

Feng and the others who came to Vinci Village, Leonardo's stronghold in the valiant realm, decided to take advantage of the Adventurer Alliance's offer. Leonardo's Mansion was very comfortable, but it was too good for me to think of anything to do on my way home. The Guild Leader and Meatier opened the store for me, and I'll take something anyway.

Nevertheless, I can't go that far in time. There are places where I want to learn geography, but delivery of boulders to the next village will not be possible. Feng found a very eye-catching word in the board as he talked about the fact that there were almost all the members, and it might be a good idea to ask for a crusade.

"Ohh... ooh!?

I don't know. What's wrong with you.... "

When Feng uttered a disgusting voice, Guillaume next to him suddenly asked with disgusting eyes. Feng pulled the sleeves of his clothes.

"Hey, look! Goblin kill! Goblin kill!!

…… So what is it? "

"What a fantasy world without doing this is a classic quest. It really happened! No, I didn't expect this day to come."

Feng sighed with admiration, pointing to the poster of the client, Guillaume turned his shoulders to look like an idiot, and Jeanne also pulled her cheeks and smiled bitterly. There was a clear gap between the reaction and Feng's tension.

Speaking of which, unlike Feng, they were skilled adventurers in the Hermes Adventurers Guild, who were gunning for a crusade. This is the only way to get there one day, and it's no substitute for what we're going to get.

Now you must be making a fool of yourself by seeing the novice Dashi Feng. His face turned bright red, pumping and angry.

"What the hell! You don't think this is going down anymore!? That's why the old people forgot their hunches! You started with these simple quests, didn't you? I wonder what kind of enemies are coming out next? If you forget that feeling and start to look down on beginners, I think it's over!

"No, I didn't mean to look at you like that... hey, you've been getting a lot of requests in the big forest. Nobody thinks you're new anymore."

"So you think it's funny that I'm happy to have such a simple quest now? All right, all right, then you guys wait here. We're just gonna go with the beginners. That's good, right? Mani, Mary"

Feng turned to the story, and the novice mani nodded nervously, and Mary nodded haughtily without saying anything.

To be honest, I thought it might be dangerous to have a crusade just for beginners, but, well, as long as Mary is around, she'll be fine.

Feng stripped the flyer of the request form from the bulletin board with the words of purchase and took it to Meetings who were looking at this exchange at the reception.

However, she didn't want to accept the offer offered by Feng, but showed a somewhat anxious expression.

"... eh? Are you sure you want to take it?

and returned it.

The reaction was a little impatient with the boulder and the phoenix. Meetings are usually routine, whether because of the long work of the guild staff or because of their elemental character, and they don't show their emotions poorly at times like this. You'll either tease it in half or you'll accept it lightly. There must be something wrong with her showing such a disgusting face.

Speaking of which, in the original world fantasy animation, there was a fashion that Goblin extermination was a dangerous quest without appearance. Humanoid demons don't have much physical strength, but because they act in groups and use weapons for wisdom, beginners face retribution when they try to hunt fish.

In an animation, where a man is killed miserably and a woman continues to be raped until she dies, it is already depicted as a cruel depiction, and scenes where heroin leaks urine twice are quite talked about among nerds who have been stabbed by their sexuality.

Perhaps the goblins in this world are such a bad monster if a beginner makes a move like that...?

"No, that's not true. Goblins are supposed to be fucking weak. It's one of the few demons a child can defeat."

"Oh, is that so?

So, what don't you like so much?

"Somehow, in a word, I don't want to be too weak... but you were a wanderer (Bagabond). Now, let me give you a brief explanation, as you can see. Thank you, neither of you seem to understand."

Mary and the manicure are all aligned and the head is tilted. Guillaume and the other two went to Feng and started talking about the lower demons and monsters that lived mainly around the forest.

"Basically, both demons and beasts are creatures that inhabit the southern part of the forest. In particular, humanoid organisms classified as demonic tribes such as Auga, Troll, Minotaur, and Oannes inhabit the high latitudes of the southern hemisphere called Neurois, and rarely appear in the northern hemisphere. When we were in the woods, it was quite an anomaly that the demon tribe was invading in large numbers.

If they don't come to the northern hemisphere, you already know why. The northern part of the Great Forest is in the Beast realm (territory), because if the Demons invade, they will defeat them. The Demons and the Beasts are in a territorial struggle along the southern river.

However, there are people who come through the territory of such a beast. That's a small demon tribe like Goblin and Covolt. Why do these weak people come all the way through the Beast realm, because it's an inversion, and they avoid the Beast.

Other demons came to the Northern Hemisphere to take the land from the Beasts and make it their territory. However, I knew from the beginning that goblins were no match for beasts, so I avoided finding them. And they come near people with few enemies, and they settle there. "

Feng pounded his hand.

"Ah, I see. Like the rabbits lived in the Great River in the war zone, the Goblins lived on the border between the Beast and the Human Realm, right?

"That's right. They're the weakest in the woods, but humans can do it there. And humans don't come into dangerous forests. That's why I live on the outer edge of the forest, and at night I go out and vandalize the fields and livestock, and run into the forest if I get caught. It's like a natural enemy to a farmer."

"I see... then, killing Goblins was like killing pests in our world."

When Feng was convinced by the muttering alone, Guillaume put it slightly differently.

"Sure, but there are other reasons. Actually, this is the key part, but what they hate is that their existence is too evil. As you said earlier, when you find another race, a demon tribe is ready to kill a man and rape a woman. A creature that lives faithfully to its instincts. Whether it's a goblin or an oanness, it doesn't change if it's a demon tribe. If Oannes had done this to us, we would have seen the same thing."

"Eh... really?

Ignoring Feng's dragging, Guillaume continued without expression.

"But the goblins are weak, and there's nothing adults can do... so the victims are always children. Besides, all the little children who don't even go to the end of the year will be killed after being scattered. The body is cruel and not very visible. And they hang it proudly in the tree."

Feng exclaimed. And Mary, who was listening to it, also knew that the child was being sacrificed, and raised an unusual and loud voice of dissatisfaction in anger.

"What is it... then we have to stop! I honestly didn't care about the weak demons, but when I heard that, I changed my mind. Whatever the weakness, the demons must be crushed."

Mary looked at Guillaume with a challenging gaze. He shrugged his shoulders with a bitter smile as if he were so scared.

"That's right. You're right. That's why I don't want to do it...."

"Don't you want to...? Why? If I were listening, I'd agree with Mary."

When Feng asked, Guillaume still smiled bitterly.

"Don't get me wrong. I agree. I'm just saying I don't want to do it."

Feng snapped his neck to see what he was saying. Even if I agree with the mind, does the body refuse or something like that? Is that because they're weak? Because it's not as easy as I thought? I don't know why....

Jeanne, who had been listening beside him, continued to supplement the words of Guillaume as if he were going to set sail on such a phoenix.

"For example, White, think about this... in the original world we lived in, you can kill anyone, but what can you associate with a dirty, untouchable creature?

"What do you mean? What does that have to do with anything?

"Just answer me."

"... anyone can kill you, it's filthy... animals can do anything, right? What about cockroaches?

There are other creatures that seem to run scared just by looking at them. Humans are big enough to kill them with a single blow. But I have psychological resistance. What does that have to do with anything? Phoenix was dazzling her eyes.

"So, White, what do you think of someone who's working on getting rid of cockroaches?

"Eh...."

I felt that Feng had been poked by falsehood.

Of course, he has no intention of discriminating against such people. But I could easily imagine what those people looked like. That's what killing Goblins means.

For example, let's say there was a person making insecticides. If he touches cockroaches with his bare hands every day, many people will be reluctant to eat the handmade dishes he cooks. He's funny, likeable, cheerful, and kind. But the primary contact is a little hesitant.

Humans associate death... with fear of so-called filth. It is interesting to note that the fear of filth is too great, even for those who pay for it. For example, even though ghosts do not come out, people are strangely attentive when they see the temple in the middle of the night, or despise the whole profession of handling carcasses so as to fear the profession of slaughtering animals, even though it has nothing to do with their life or death.

Needless to say, we humans have developed up to this point because our ancestors have eaten animal meat, but for the reason of killing that animal, there was a wave of discrimination against butchers in the past. The episode that Taiko was running a butcher shop is famous, but it shows that the Taiko people were subjected to such discrimination at that time.

Even in recent years, humans hate death as much as it has become a social problem to make lobsters alive. When the hunter turns to the bear because he says it has appeared, the city people say the bear looks cute. We don't have to say what happens if we leave it alone, but humans are so sensitive to what is associated with death.

Similarly, no one says Goblins are pathetic, but the task of killing Goblins seems to have been avoided. That said, we can't just leave them like bears and boars. They are evil, not only destroying the fields, but also attacking livestock and children.

Even if they hate you, someone has to do it. But humans don't want to do it. Speaking of who will do the job... it seems that there are things that make it work on a daily basis.

"Well, Mani was his first job at the guild, and he came to visit human society. Maybe it's good to know what kind of people are doing this kind of work in advance."

"What do you mean?

Mani leaned his head, but Guillaume went out of the entrance and exited silently without saying anything. Jeanne tapped Mary and Mani on the back and followed. Seeing them leave the guild, Feng followed them.

When the Feng and the others left the guild, they crossed the square of the city and headed towards the first ranch they visited when they arrived in the village.

The rancher thought he had come to see the horses he had left behind. He flew to the stables, but when Guillaume asked him why he had come, he nodded and pointed to the forest behind the ranch.

The village of Vinci is at the edge of the valiant realm and faces a large forest. Goblins inhabit their periphery, so the destination is nearby.

Guillaume turned his foot in the direction pointed at by the rancher, and began to speak with his face forward without looking back at the scattered feng.

"The children of this world grew up when they were little, taught by their parents to hate the fear of goblins. It seems like a decision to stay away from the dangerous forest, but since there are children who break the ban and approach the forest and are actually killed in a terrible way every year, by the time things come to mind, all the children will have their fear of the Goblin imprinted on them. From that recoil, or as they get bigger and more physically superior, painful people come out who kill the goblins and boast. I don't know if you're going to try your guts, but there's a vicious circle in which those people get on their feet and show off the bodies of the goblins they've tragically killed, thereby fuelling prejudice against the extermination of goblins."

"I see, it's like Nakani disease... I certainly don't want to be seen with the same eyes."

"ZhongEr...? I don't know, but that's why killing Goblins is a profession with few acquaintances. I've been running out of manpower for a million years, so I've always asked the guild to do it, but no one likes to choose it. Except for one species."

As I walked through the conversation, I saw a digging cabin in the meadow facing the forest in front of me. It's like a hut that Feng built in a border city, and the small, poor construction is exactly what he called a rabbit hut.

There were fields around, and it was obvious that someone lived there, but it felt a little different from the farmers. Iron tools were hanging on the exterior wall of the house, but they were not agricultural tools such as quails and skins, but weapons such as swords and maces.

Maybe that's how they fight goblins and monsters coming out of the woods. As she approached what kind of people lived in, she noticed the signs of a row. Giggie and the wooden board made a noise, and Zorosolo and a few shadows appeared from the inside of the shed.

"Jaya? Who are you guys?"

The men, who appeared from the cabin, had a tight body of muscle, but their faces were clearly different from humans, with triangular ears pointing over their heads and almond-shaped eyes hanging sharply, with pins and stretched beards in the wind.

It was inhabited by cat people with cat faces. They are standing with their tails flapping, alert to sudden visitors. In the human world, they were the same beasts as the mani who were working to exterminate goblins.
