While Goblin Slayer was going upstairs, a group of teenagers and girls walked towards them and sat down in the seat in the guild that had been reserved for Goblin Slayer by default. The iron armor they wore was not expensive, but it still looked brand new and still shining. The boy has a long sword at his waist, like the standard protagonist who came out of an RPG. Judging by their appearance and the white porcelain tag around their necks, they should all be rookie adventurers.

He hesitated to glance at Nobita in black robes, and then at the little priest in white, wondering how the two seemingly incompatible came together.

The girl behind him gently pushed him, which reminded him of the purpose of this visit, and quickly met the eyes of the two and asked, "That...... As you can see, both of us are white porcelain-level adventurers, and we are now forming a team, would we like to come together? ”

He tried to make his tone as natural as possible, but no matter what, there was always a sense of being digging into someone's corner......

"Huh?" The little priest was suddenly accosted by a stranger, and he shrank his head in fright, not knowing how to answer. She looked at Nobita almost immediately for help, but the guy was holding his arms as if he was an old god, and smirked wickedly at her, as if he had made up his mind to let the little girl exercise her eloquence and deal with the situation on her own.

"I'm sorry...... But we've already teamed up with others......"

The girl tightened her body shyly, almost curling herself into a ball.

"I know this......" The warrior turned and glanced down the stairs to make sure that the iron-clad stranger hadn't come down from the second floor, before he dared to whisper, "But...... Isn't it too weird to be with him? You see, he's already a silver-level adventurer, but he's been killing goblins. Normally, the silver level will look for high-level demons like undead generals or gargoyles, right? You're all newcomers after all...... Or would it be more normal to team up with newcomers, wouldn't it? ”

"This, this...... Mr. Dark Magician? ”

The little priest felt that what the other party said was not unreasonable, and he really couldn't find any place to refute it. She turned her head again and looked at Nobita with a pitiful look, her blue eyes overflowing with moisture, as if Nobita didn't respond, and the next second she would cry out because she was too embarrassed.

"......" Nobita sighed secretly, he was not the same as the Goblin Slayer, and he always had little resistance to this kind of girl's coquettish scene.

"The two...... It is a great honour for you to have this special invitation. He put on Dan Moschel's trademark airlock and smile, "But, I think both of you also know that adventurers' teams take time to get used to." I have been on a team with Mr. Goblin Slayer for a long time, and we are both familiar with each other's abilities and personalities, which can greatly improve the understanding between adventurers. I don't mean to look down on the two, it's just that if we change the team temporarily...... It's a little inappropriate.,I'm sorry.,Let's go and hire someone else.。 ”

“…… Ah, I remember you! The warrior suddenly patted his head and said in surprise, "You are the magician who said that he was going to crusade against the demon king that night!" ”

"Yes, that's right, it's nice for me that you remember." Nobita admitted lightly, "I still think so now—if the so-called Demon King doesn't exist, the Demon God General won't exist, and the monster won't exist." In this way, everyone will not have to worry about the never-ending war, and mankind will be happy. ”

"Yes...... It's impossible. The young warrior seemed to have heard something unbelievable, and timidly argued, "Since ancient times, there have been many platinum-level adventurers, but the demon race has never been eradicated. The Demon King is inexhaustible...... There is more than one demon king in this world, and even if you do kill one of them in the end, another one will be born in other corners of the world, which ...... It should be something that adventurers know, it's common sense! ”

"Since you have decided that you can't completely exterminate the Demon King, what do you think is the point of the adventurer's existence?" Nobita asked with a smile.

"This ......," the young warrior said after a careful consideration, in a tone full of righteous power, "I think it's to protect humans from being harmed by the demon clan as much as possible, and to keep fighting them!" Do everything you can to save humanity. ”

"Is that right......" Nobita changed to a slightly more domineering sitting position, leaning his whole body forward slightly, and his face was shrouded in a shadow, making it impossible to see his expression, "Then I have a slightly different opinion with you—I think it's better to let one side fall permanently than to confront each other like this...... Will the Demon King be resurrected? Then kill him the next moment of his resurrection, and if he rises again, I will kill him again...... We will build such a circular system. In this way, humanity will not have to invest too much energy in exterminating demons, and will be able to develop a true civilization, instead of being a pawn of others as it is now......"

His words were quite suggestive, and even pointed directly to the origin of the world, and the young warrior was stunned by him. It was the girl who slapped him the back to make him sober up and leave the small round table as if he were fleeing.

……

Nobita noticed that the little priest seemed to look at him a little strangely.

She was silent for a few moments before she mustered up the courage to ask, "This ...... Do you really think so? ”

"Of course." Nobita muttered, "It may not seem like it, but I think I have the ability to do it." Wouldn't it be nice if there were no demon kings in the world, and people wouldn't have to be infested by monsters anymore? ”

"It's not bad, it's just ......" The little priest struggled for a long time, and didn't know how to express his opinion. She always felt that Nobita's idea was really a bit deviant and overdone, saying that it could bring happiness to everyone, but if it was really implemented, it didn't seem to be as good as he said, and maybe something worse would happen than now.

There is no evidence, it is just the simple feeling of the clergy.

"Mr. Dark Mage...... I don't think so. The little priest smiled euphemistically and said, "There are good gods and evil gods in this world, and the earth mother god I believe in belongs to the good gods, so there are priests like me...... In the same way, the demon clan was created by the evil gods, and the competition between the two parties has been doomed since the beginning of heaven and earth. You alone...... I am afraid that it is impossible to stop the current situation. ”

Nobita smiled noncommittally and didn't fight any further.

What good god evil god...... They're all in this together.

It's like a group of friends who have made an appointment to compete in an RPG game after school, and one side chooses the camp of the good god and the other side chooses the camp of the evil god, which may not be really good and evil. Their so-called "competition" is nothing more than a grand game of chess played by all the creatures in this world, and sometimes in this corner, the good god defeats the evil god; In that corner, the followers of the evil gods have defeated the good gods. The artillery fire was continuous, the miasma of black smoke, and in the end, it was the most ordinary NPCs who suffered in vain.

As soon as the interest comes, he will give the individual of a certain race "good luck" and make him the protagonist temporarily, just to see how he conquers the city and opens up the territory. As soon as the excitement passed, the capricious god immediately retracted his fate, and the "protagonist" of the mortal world also fell from the altar and died an extremely miserable death.

People like Goblin Slayer are undoubtedly the product of this game - in Nobita's worldview, it is very sad that there is only hatred left in life, which is one of the reasons why he wants to redeem Goblin Slayer.

He didn't know how many Goblin Slayers there were in this world, but one thing was clear to him: it wasn't the so-called "Mandate of Heaven" that made them like this, and Mandate didn't kill the Goblin Slayer's relatives, it was all done by goblins.

Because goblins exist, there are tragedies that shouldn't happen in the world...... And as long as the demon king is not eliminated for a day, the monster will not disappear for a day. In order to fight against monsters, human beings have also developed their own civilization without flaws, and it will always remain the same as in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries...... Always a doll in the hands of the gods.

After a long while, the Goblin Slayer finally came down from the second floor, his iron boots crunching the wooden staircase, giving him a feeling of being overwhelmed.

In just a few moments, there were three more people behind him: the first was a green-haired woman with two very short braids, she had a small and delicate face, pointed ears, and a slender and slender body. A mint green short dozen sticks to her body, which fits her body curves well, and looks like a slim sika deer; Then there was a dwarf who was about half the height of his brother, and seemed to be very old, and his beard and hair were gray; And the one who walked last was not even a human, but a ...... Oversized lizards in human form? It also walks on two legs, but you can tell at a glance that it is definitely not human, and its skin is also black, and it wears the religious attire of a peculiar people. Just these three people, coupled with the iron-clad brother killing, the return rate on the road is almost 100%......

Because it's so discordant.

"It's a different world, and you can often see some fantasy humanoids...... Nobita couldn't help but sigh, "Speaking of which, I've seen merfolk, dinosaurs, and heavenly people before, but it seems that I haven't seen elves." ”

He couldn't help but glance at the green-haired girl a few more times, but the elves seemed to be particularly sensitive to gaze, and saw her long ears twitch slightly, and then, just as the radar had captured the signal, the girl turned her head and just met Nobita's curious gaze.

In their etiquette, staring at others intently seems to be a very rude behavior.

"Hmph." The girl snorted softly, turned her head away, and whispered, "Rude human ......"

————

"These people have entrusted me to go to the territory of the forest people, where there is a ruin, and they say that they are making trouble with the goblins." He began to explain the mission to Nobita and the little priest, "If I can, I plan to leave now, and I'll be there in about three days." ”

"Oh?!" The little priest raised his tin staff with great interest, and replied, "Then I will go with me too!" ”

……

The lizardmen, the foresters, and the miners all turned their heads to look at her at the same time, scaring her into a stagger, and then turning back to her old timid appearance, "Because, that...... There's a good chance someone will get hurt......"

"You're a priest?" The jade-haired forest girl asked with some joy, "That's right, after you have a priest, you don't have to worry about supplies!" Even if you are injured in wartime, you can heal quickly! ”

"Ah, no, that...... I haven't learned the healing technique that much......" the little priest said weakly.

The Goblin Slayer nodded at her, shifted his head again, and asked, "What about you?" ”

Before Nobita could answer, Miss Morito shouted squeamishly, "Eh~~~, is this guy coming too?" In the case of warlocks, it is enough for us to have miners, and it will be very inconvenient for too many people. ”

"He's not a warlock." Goblin Slayer's tone was flat, but it seemed to emphasize something, "He's a dark mage. ”

"What kind of rank is that kind of job that betrays your faith when you hear it......"

Nobita sighed secretly in his heart, it seemed that he had been hated by Miss Morito. In any case, being hated by such a beautiful girl always makes him feel a kind of frustration, and he can't help but wonder if the woman's fate when he was adventurous when he was a child was daydreaming......

"To be honest, Goblin Slayer San, I'm really sorry, I didn't know you were going to leave today, so I arranged something beforehand." Nobita could only say, "If you don't mind, you just go first." ”

"I'll catch up halfway through."
