I Rose Suddenly in The Alternate World By Overwhelming Gacha With Luck! - Chapter 23

The next morning, we finished eating breakfast and proceeded to the plains again.

We split into groups again today, though I still can’t seem to find any Goblins. Did they seriously get scared of Hicchan?

I thought about such things while looking for Goblins.

「「Uwaaaaaaaー?!」」 (???)

I heard a scream from afar.

When I faced towards its direction, I found a merchant being attacked by a number of Goblins.

The situation seems to be bad.

There are 4 Goblins fighting the two sword-wielding what seems to be escorts, while 2 Goblins were clinging to the wagon.

The merchant ojisan was also swinging a sword, trembling, at a single Goblin.

Seven in all – the escorts were struggling. I have to help them!

The Goblins’ levels were a bit above Level 11. But, this should be enough without skills.

I pulled out the Demon Flame Sword (魔焔剣を), and knock down the Goblin who was attacking ojisan.

「Gyafu?!」 (Goblin 1)

The goblin who was rummaging the luggage had noticed me and came down with a small sword. I veered from the sword’s path and delivered a blow.

「Gyua……?!」 (Goblin 2)

I pulled out the other who was still rummaging the luggage down to the ground and stabbed it.

「Gya……」 (Goblin 3)

「ーGAUGAU!」

I saw Hicchan running from another direction, then stopped.

「GAAARUAAAAAAAAAA!!」 (Hicchan)

Ooh……a serious roar. Hicchan the Dragon, I’ve seen her in a new light.

「Gaaaー」 (Hicchan)

I saw some flame in her mouth. Wait, you’re going to burn the luggage?!

「Hicchan, stop!」 (Jinta)

「Gau?」 (Hicchan)

The flamed that she almost let out disappeared.That was dangerous……the luggage was about to be roasted.

The 2 escorts were still fighting the 4 goblins while taking some shallow wounds. It was probably caused by the armed Goblins who were more in number.

There are 4 of them remaining.

Just when I tried to rush towards them,

「Sky Lance ( スカイランス) !」 (???)

When I thought I heard Quina’s voice, an arrow of wind penetrated the Goblin.

I wonder if that was her.

The next moment, they rushed in, and Reefa and Quina were out of breath.

「Jinta-sama, we’re here to help!」 (Quina)

「Thanks! Reefa! I’ll ask you to please heal the wounded people!」 (Jinta)

「Leave it to me!」 (Reefa)

Reefa ran over to the ojisan who fell to the ground. Alright. Now all we have to do is defeat the rest of them.

「Gyagyagyaー!」 (Goblin 4)

While I was looking aside, I struck down a Goblin who was trying to cut me with it’s small sword.

「Too slow.」 (Jinta)

I immediately stomped my foot on the Goblin.

「Gyagu?!」 (Goblin 4)

Now, where did they get these little swords? The previous Goblins didn’t have these kind of weapons before.

The dead Goblins’ swords also have similar type of blades and patterns.

Matching equipment……? It is told in the Adventurer Guild that luggages are attacked while being transported.

In any case, I need little more magic stones. I should let this guy free, it may lead to a nest or something.

It’s much better than just blindly searching.

Geshe, I stomped on its head while it tried to move. I also kicked away the small sword.

「Gugya……gyagya!」 (Goblin 4)

Release me, is that what you’re trying to say?

Reefa spreads healing magic on the merchant and the escorts. Three people were slightly injured, but there seems to no fatal injury whatsoever.

「It’s alright now.」 (Reefa)

After the treatment was over, the ojisan checks the goods. It seems nothing was stolen or damaged.

Apparently, he was carrying clothes for sale……Yu○kuro^[1]?

It might have been bad if the arrival was a bit late.

「Everyone, thank you for helping us in such a dangerous situation.」 (Merchant)

I also expressed my gratitude to the merchant ojisan and his escorts.

「No, no. I’m glad everyone was safe after the incident.」 (Jinta)

After everyone has gathered, we saw them off on their way.

「Jinta-sama. Six more magic stones were gathered this time. At your feet, there are also three more magic stone.」 (Quina)

「Jinta, why are you stomping on that Goblin?」 (Reefa)

「Ah. I need more magic stones. That’s why I thought of letting it escape here and lead us to its nest.」 (Jinta)

「I see.」 (Reefa)

「All the small swords that they had were gathered. Though why would attack they luggage……」 (Quina)

「Is there a possibly a place where these swords originated from?」 (Reefa)

「Un. I thought that place is the nest.」 (Jinta)

As I moved my foot away, the Goblin stood up quickly. It doesn’t seem to have any fighting spirit left, and ran away at once.

「Gyagya!」 (Goblin 4)

We chased after it.
