The moment he came out of the cave, the little priest had a sense of relief that the nightmare was over.

Her team had set out at some point in the morning, but now it was dusk, and the heavens and the earth were shrouded in a desolate twilight. She breathed in the outside air almost greedily, experiencing the joy of the fact that she was still alive, and secretly prayed several times to Mother Earth. But...... As soon as she thought of her fellow warrior who had been torn to pieces by the goblin, the girl's blue eyes immediately filled with tears.

She couldn't control her emotions a little, squatted on the ground, facing the sunset, and gently hid her face and sobbed.

Nobita didn't particularly bother to comfort her, knowing that every recruit who was on the battlefield for the first time would go through this process - facing the death of his companions. If you can stand it, you can stand it, but you can't stand it...... Since then, he has suffered from post-traumatic stress syndrome, and then retired to live the life of an ordinary person. He didn't know what kind of girl this little girl belonged to, so let her make her own decisions.

……

"What about successfully rescuing two people......" Nobita took a few steps forward, walking side by side with the Goblin Slayer, this place still belongs to the mountains, so the weather in the evening is unusually cold, "so we can also count ourselves as accumulating virtue." ”

"......" Goblin Slayer didn't answer him, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Perhaps sensing that the little priest had not followed, he suddenly stopped and looked back.

"What's wrong with her?"

"Maybe I'm afraid...... People are like this, and leaving them to die and live after life often brings a great sense of fear. At this time, psychological adjustment is very important, if you don't adjust, maybe the whole person will collapse. ”

Nobita is all too familiar with this psychological phenomenon...... He still remembers that his first adventure was in the Cretaceous, and his side had to fight against those dragon hunters with loaded guns almost with his bare hands, and the slightest mistake was a dead word. After the victory, he returned to his own time, and he was afraid of it for a long time......

But on the other hand, the second adventure on the test star was much better, and Nobita and his friends began to find their own pace.

On the third trip to the Congo Basin, they organized their own expedition.

Fourth Bermuda Triangle ...... Nobita can even take the initiative and formulate tactics.

……

To this day, the adventures he experienced in his childhood still shine brightly in the depths of his mind, and Nobita learns from them every moment - this is one of the important assets that he has not panicked after coming to the other world.

"......" Goblin Slayer didn't seem to be able to comprehend this delicate emotion, he shook his head and confessed, "I don't understand. In my opinion, this is a very simple question. ”

"It's very simple, and it seems to me very simple—it's just a matter of choosing between death and survival." Nobita smiled kindly, "But she's a girl after all." Not like you...... Or maybe I've seen the real battlefield, and it's a bit too much to ask her to understand the cruelty at once, so let's take it one step at a time. ”

“…… Perhaps. "But we can't afford to stay here too long, we must go down faster than the sun and get back into town." ”

Town?

Hearing this word, Nobita's eyes lit up instantly, this is a good opportunity to gather information. Through that opening CG, it is basically determined that the Goblin Slayer is the "hero" of this world, in other words, as long as Nobita follows him, a series of important events can be triggered. At that time, as long as you see the opportunity to act, just change the original direction of the plot with a little tricks, it is not difficult.

Nobita also saw it...... The plot has probably been modified by himself once: if he didn't have himself, the little priest might still be alive, but that magician girl would definitely not live, and it was very likely that she was stabbed to death by her brother's sword...... He is the kind of realist who is extremely calm, and there is no such thing as "can't get started".

If the person who was supposed to die is still alive, it will cause a change in the plot, which will then be converted into your own points.

……

Thinking of this, he smiled heartily and asked in a nonchalant tone, "Speaking of which, Goblin Slayer San...... Do you live alone? ”

"It's not." He replied, "I am currently living at a relative's house. ”

"Oh...... Is your relative's house big? ”

"What do you want to say?"

"Hey...... You see, I'm a scholar who travels to the border, and I don't have a fixed place to live. Nobita tried his best not to make his request look rude, "If that relative of yours has vacant land, can you let me go there to borrow it for the time being?" I don't have any friends here, so I'll probably be traveling with you in a group in the future, surveying the geology of the frontier while hunting goblins...... I don't mean anything else, it's just that I think you're more reliable, and if I run into goblins, you can help me kill them. ”

“…… Even if I form a team, I won't act on your command. The Goblin Slayer's tone didn't have much emotion, and a slightly contemptuous sentence came out of his mouth without causing Nobita's discomfort, "I only hunt goblins, not anyone's bodyguard." ”

"Do you think I need your protection?" Nobita smiled wickedly and asked, "Tell me the truth...... You don't need to obey my commands, you just do your own thing, just 'piggyback' on me. ”

"But you have to do academic research."

"What may you have misunderstood...... Geological surveys are random, and I don't have any specific locations to go to. Nobita gradually found that this guy's brain was relatively straight, so the lies he made up became casual and less rigorous, "So I can follow you, and I will go wherever you go." If you need it, I'll lend you some dark magic items to use along the way, to offset the cost of protecting me on the way. ”

……

Goblin Slayer didn't speak immediately, but stood quietly in place, thinking for a while.

“…… My relative is a farmer with his own lands and pastures. Overall, it's not a poor family. "There may be extra rooms, but ...... It's unlikely that you'll live in vain, and you'll have to pay for it. ”

"I have money." Nobita didn't have a penny on him, but he still said it confidently, "And it's definitely enough." ”

“…… Then, I will tell him that you are my friend and that you will come to the ranch for a while. As he said this, Nobita noticed a slight change in his tone, as if he had finally touched something that touched his heart, "The problem is...... Are you really my friend? ”

The Goblin Slayer turned around and looked down at Nobita condescendingly. At that moment, Nobita felt a strong killing intent, as if the warrior in front of him had already drawn his long sword, his body bent slightly, and pointed the blade of the sword a few inches in front of his throat. If he acted rashly, he would not hesitate to pierce his Adam's apple with his sword. This is a ferocity that is rare in humans, and perhaps at this moment, Nobita experienced the real feelings of the goblins when facing the goblin killing.

But...... Compared to the malice of the Demon Emperor Odorom, it seems to be nothing worth mentioning.

So Nobita was not frightened by him, but just smiled lightly, spread his hands, and said, "I promise you, Goblin Slayer Sang...... We will always be friends. ”

"It's better to be like this." He interrogated Nobita for a while, then withdrew that aggressive gaze, and continued, "If you hurt my loved ones...... I'm going to make you pay for it. ”

————

When the three of them returned to town, Nobita finally heard some human voices.

Since the little priest was going back to the Temple of Mother Earth, he parted ways with Nobita for the time being.

Unexpectedly...... This delicate-looking little girl has wiped away her tears, although there are still some red tears in the corners of her eyes, but it seems that she has adjusted from the state just now. She took two steps back, pulled every corner of her robe neatly, and then bowed solemnly to Nobita and Gosher in the street.

Her waist is bowed deeply, and the breeze blows through her long golden hair, which is even more elegant.

"Thank you, both...... Mr. Goblin Slayer, Mr. Dark Mage. You saved my life, this kindness...... I will always keep it in my heart, and may the Earth Mother God bless you both with a long and healthy life. Her voice was a little trembling with a cry, and the tears kept rolling in her eyes, but they never dripped out.

"I'm still weak though...... But I also want to be like the two of you, taking risks with ease and using my own strength to save those in need. Her tone was full of determination, which surprised Nobita a little, "So, I want to go on adventures with you two in the future...... Whether it's hunting goblins or anything else, take me with you! I also want to help others......"

"Anyway, please give me more advice in the days to come!"

……

Nobita and Goslayer looked at each other for a moment, making quick eye contact (for some reason, Nobita seemed to sense what Goblin Slayer was thinking), and finally decided to encourage the girl's idea. After all, the idea itself is positive, but if the little priest really wants to be on his own...... It is estimated that there is still a long way to go.

But even so, it's better than just being shut up.

"What a good ideal...... Nobita smiled with relief, "I'm glad you think so, it does take a lot of character and a lot of strength to help others." Among them, the improvement of strength is step-by-step, but the noble conduct is not...... Goblin Slayer San, you say, right? ”

“……”

"Goblin Slayer Sang?"

"Well, that's right." He seemed to come back to his senses, tilted his head a little, and said to the little priest, "Every morning, I go to the Adventurers' Guild to see if there is a list of goblins to be defeated. I don't usually have any grabs for this job, so I'm always the last one to take it...... If you want to join, just come to the guild in the morning and look for me. ”
