Day 61-70/Day 64

Day 64

The number of Hobgoblins increased by three Goblins today. I’m a little disappointed that there weren’t Mages or Clerics this time.

Well, Mages are usually one or two Goblins per group, although the current situation’s abnormal.

As always I give them a congratulatory gift each.

After today’s training, I let the kobolds go into actual combat in buddy pairs and secure food. Only fighting skeletons is good for acquiring experience efficiently, but will get you in a rut, people who fight a wide variety of races can develop practical skills.

I intend to come out of the forest one day, so looking at things to come, as expected we should gather experience facing various monsters while we're here so that we'd be harder to kill.

For that reason, with the spare time I had now, I made preparations for going out hunting alone.

The  savoury taste of a Stamp Boar was unforgettable. What’s more, these places had a fine likelihood of rewarding new abilities. Its about time that we tread on new habitats and ate new monsters.

I already searched for the habitat of the Stamp Boar, it’ll be found immediately since I already knew the signs before this.

As I tried to depart I was stopped by Ogakichi-kun.

He wanted to talk somewhere private, so we went out the cave and walked for a while. We talked after I confirmed no one was around.

According to him somehow, finally, at last, in the end, he decided to confess to Asue-chan. His feelings became stronger with his rank up,

Only problem is, he doesn’t know what to say. And wants my council.

So he expects cheap consultancy service, is what I’d like to think but Ogakichi-kun is my buddy.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">So much for today’s plans to go Stamp Boar hunting, huh. We shall dedicate the time from noon to evening for strategy and tactics.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.15;">And with that, Ogakichi-kun shall commence “Operation Confession” tonight.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.15;">The result of which we’d know in the morning.
