“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Gladys gazes at the bushes.
“Not good, there seems to be something in the bushes at the moment.”
When I look there, there is another rustling noise, and a rabbit pops out.
『I really thought I was going to die. Go home, go home.』
The rabbit says with an emaciated voice and leaves.
“… what is it?”
A week later.
Gladys leaves for the capital with our father in a carriage.
Our father also has a noble family meeting where he needs to report planned, hence his errand to the capital.
Still, whithout skipping sword practice, I’m following the usual menu, and one I’ve thought of myself.
While bearing in mind my father’s figure, I carefully practice my swings.
That was the time.
『Hey! Jed!』
『I came to play!』
『Wow, you live in a nice house. Make us the same house.』
The goblins came out of the bushes.
Fortunately, this is not part of the garden grounds, so we shouldn’t be seen from the mansion.
I hurry and push the goblins back into the bushes.
『What’s that, don’t push us.』
『Because we haven’t met in a long time, it’s fun.』
“Okay, go back to the bushes.”
『What is it?』
It’s like when your friends suddenly storm in.
Well that may actually be the case.
“What brings you here? There are people other than me in the mansion, and they’re dangerous.”
『I know. I heard that many times』
“So, what!?”
『Isn’t that dangerous guy gone today?』
“… How do you know that?”
『Because I heard your conversation when you were sparring with wooden swords a week ago.』
“Y-you. If a rabbit didn’t come out of that bush, you would have been discovered by being so close!”
『The two of you would notice as soon as I get close, so I had a rabbit as a decoy.』
That’s why rabbits are getting lost recently.
I mean, you are getting smarter.
“But I’m still going to make a big fuss.”
『So why did you come here quietly?』
『Absolutely, there isn’t that dangerous guy at the moment.』
The goblins shrug their shoulders.
If you do that, it’ll be awkward.
“There’s a type of magic called metamorphosis that can be used to change your appearance, so I’d like to do a magic experiment. It probably won’t be like the pitfall last time.”
The goblins say in a trembling voice, recalling their pas trauma.
『T-that’s bad.』
『Hobgo…… It’ll make us transform?』
Hey, did you try to say hobgoblin again?
“Just go play in the forest.”
『『『Hey.』』』
I push the backs of the goblins into the forest who respond with unhappy voices.
In a clearing in the forest not far from the mansion.
We can move around and settle down.
“Well, what are you going to do now?”
When I ask, the goblins growl “hmmm”, and look at the wooden sword in my hand.
『When I saw you Jed during this period, I always saw you waving a wooden sword, are you practicing swordsmanship?』
『Ah, but I thought. You hob … you’re a wizard, you don’t need a sword right?』
“I’ll hit you next time you’re about to say it. I’m pretty sure I’m better at magic, but I can’t lose anything by learning to wield a sword.”
『So that’s it?』
The goblins tilt their heads. As expected, it seems that they can’t understand this type of things. It would be difficult if most goblins did.
“Well, I can’t do anything if you get close right?”
『That’s no good.』
『If you get close to Beru, it’s not easy. Once, I was attacked by birds and freaked out.』
『Hey!? Zabu always has the habit of being one step away.』
Two contrasting goblins, a slender Zabu, and a rounded Beru hit each other’s forehead.
“….. You, and you, that won’t do.”
『『Oh!?』』
『Just right. You have a wooden sword? Come with your sword skills.』
『Right, right. The three of us will do it! With just one wooden sword.』
『Me too!?』
『If you’re not a hobgoblin, just come with your wooden sword!』
Zabu and Beru are being provocative, emphasizing that only swordmanship should be used. It looks like they are afraid of my magic.
A casual, crafty three on one is taking place.
“Okay, I’ll just go with this wooden sword.”
『『『Then we can win!』』』
As soon as they hear my words, they are motivated, and Gigi happily picks up a log.
Oh, it’s being licked.
『Think of our grudge!』
Screaming, the goblins jump with a log raised up high…!
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Gladys gazes at the bushes.
