(Damn it... )
I forgot that I can't look good, otherwise I'll get this terrible penalty.
Although it was only a few minutes, this torture felt like years.
Fortunately no one noticed my current state thanks to the acting skills I learned in my previous life.
I even get notifications from the system if I get a new skill.
[You Get the Poker Face Skill]
(Why did I get the skill just now?)
I don't have ti to take care of trivial things like this just yet, I need to hurry up or it'll be dark soon.
"Are you guys going to continue being lazy? Get moving."
Our squad started moving, I was going to try to keep up with them but paused and looked at the old warrior and the young warrior from before while looking at the carved nas of the dead warriors on the nearby tombstones of the two.
Then I bowed my head deeply.
"Protecting soone is sothing not everyone can do let alone dying to protect sothing is an honor."
"???"
(Ugh, how should I say it? Damn, I hate communication!)
"...As the heir of Wolfled, I thank you and the fallen soldiers. I will never forget your valor, you can be proud and go in peace."
"!!!"
"!!!"
The two soldiers for so reason suddenly bowed their heads to while seemingly holding back tears.
(Why are they suddenly crying? Strange)
Having finished saying what I wanted to say, I quickly left while covering my reddened face and ears.
...
"Mr. Acel, I've already decided which master I'll serve."
"Haha, what a coincidence that I'm the sa way."
The two soldiers exchanged words while still continuing to bow their heads at Zend's disappearing figure.
Nata and nose were both very red, they tried their best to hold back crying but it seed difficult for them to do so.
"I always thought that our sacrifices to protect the territory were natural and would never be highly honored, but today a little boy gave the greatest respect a noble could give to commoners like us."
The two then raised their heads and said their oath of allegiance to the little figure who was so aweso in their eyes.
...
Our squad made it to the front of the forest, and it was only at that mont that I rembered sothing.
(Damn, I forgot to ask for guidance from the two soldiers earlier.)
"Young master, how about a guide?"
Signe asked while trying to hug , then I answered while avoiding her hands.
"No need for a guide, we'll go straight into the forest and hunt down the remaining monsters."
I said in a cold tone while hiding my cold sweat.
(Is it okay? Without a guide?)
"Okay, young master!"
(What's done is done!)
I went first and was followed by Signe and the rest of the squad.
Upon entering the forest, it imdiately beca very quiet.
"Imdiately appeared..."
"Ho~ is the young master used to fighting monsters?"
"Shut up, imdiately prepare for the fight."
"Okay~"

As we began to prepare with our formation, Tank in front, damage dealer in 4 directions then mage in the back and in the center of the formation.
(It sucks to be protected by incompetent people like them, but this place has too many irregulars for to confidently go to the front.)
After waiting for a few seconds, the monster finally ca out.
A monster with a monstrous stature, blue-skinned with a height of 120-130 cm.
"10 goblins! Prepare to fight!"
Erlan shouted to the entire squad.
Goblins, a monster with the lowest rank but very troubleso because it always colonizes with rapid reproduction.
(If I'm not mistaken, normal goblins are around E rank right?)
Individually, goblins are very weak but when grouped together, it's dangerous to go solo. Moreover, they are the smartest monsters in the lower rank monster category.
Thanks to their intelligence, they are able to create a group that is very effective like a normal human party, so are tanks, so are damage dealers and sotis there are also mages but it seems that this goblin group does not have a mage. Plus their equipnt was very fragile and rusty, seemingly looted from warrior tombs or war remnants.
"Tank!"
"Ready!"
As Erlan shouted, a 2 ter tall person wearing full plate armor ca forward with his large shield.
The goblins who saw the giant ca to them, in surprise the formation of the goblins imdiately broke up.
"Damage dealer!"
Erlan said that while advancing to draw his sword followed by the other mbers.
The split goblin formation was an easy target for us this ti.
"Kyakkk! Kyackk!!!"
One of the goblins with a red hat instantly grasped the current dangerous situation and shouted in an unpleasant voice. It seed like the goblin was telling its mbers to calm down and gather into formation again, but unfortunately it was too late.
(It looks like the goblin with the red hat is the leader, quite capable of commanding in a situation like this. But a goblin is still a goblin.)
If the goblins were fighting the new group of soldiers from the capital, they might have been able to win, but they were fighting people from Wolfled territory.
While watching the goblins being slaughtered, I asked Signe who was still beside .
"Why are you still here?"
"Uh~ isn't it too cold, young master? If I leave who will take care of you."
"I don't need a guard, go help these incompetent soldiers."
"Hmph, fine~"
Signe with a sullen expression began to help exterminate the goblins.
I looked at them while bored, can't we get this done quickly? Just a bunch of goblins alone would take this long?
As I irritably grumbled to myself, I realized sothing.
"Wait, where is that goblin with the red hat?"
When I realized, the instinct that had been dormant for a long ti told to dodge.
I imdiately jumped forward, I looked behind where I was previously standing.
There was a goblin in a red hat swinging his sword at the place where I was standing before.
The goblin charged straight at when it realized its sudden attack had no effect.
(Hmph, goblins dare to try to kill , you know!)
As I tried to draw the sword on my hip, the goblin was already in front of my eyes and swung its sword at my neck.
(Eh? So fast? I can't avoid this... Wait, I'm going to die here? By a goblin?)
As the goblin's rusty sword was about to touch my neck, I tried with all my might to parry it.
*Cring*
Small sparks from the clash of swords reflected off and the goblin.
I managed to parry the goblin's attack but instead my sword was knocked away and I was in an exposed position while the goblin was still carrying his sword and still standing.
(Damn! I need to stand up imdiately!)
The goblin realized I was in a bad position and went right back to attacking.
Damn, damn, damn, damn!
This ti the goblin's sword is really going to kill !
.... don't joke with !!!
When I ca to my senses, I managed to narrowly avoid the goblin's sword attack and then I counterattacked by hitting the goblin's chin.
The goblin was imdiately knocked down, I imdiately stood up and headed towards the goblin and hit it once more so that it could not get up again and dare to attack .
I hit the goblin's head, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit!!!
Ah~ this refreshing feeling!
Just as I was about to try hitting once more, my hand was stopped by soone.
I looked at the person who dared to stop this fun mont.
I saw Signe with all sorts of emotions in her expression. Confusion, surprise and a bit of fear.
Why are you scared?
As I was puzzled, I saw the reflection of myself from behind Signe's eyes.
I was there at this mont smiling happily with blood around my face and bloodshot eyes.
When I ca to my senses, I looked at the dead goblin whose head had long since been smashed into pieces.
I looked at my hands which were full of blood and were so badly injured that even the bones of my hands were almost visible.
(Ah, I ssed up)
