Chapter 118 – Monster's Hideout

The trees grew larger and larger as we went further into the south. Their green leaves covered the sky, as if seeking the blessing of heaven. It's like we were marching in the middle of the night despite it still being daytime.

Me and Aaron immediately activated the Night Vision skill, while Miria relied upon the fire produced from her magic sword. We followed the trace of the Goblin Shaman's magic.

[This, this is the first time I've e this far into the forest.]

[Yeah, me too. The trees here are on a different league pared to those growing near the capital.]

The thick tree roots rolled and tangled over the ground like snakes. If one was not careful, it'd be easy to trip themselves on those roots.

Since we were running so fast, a little slip up might lead to a huge accident.

Aaron seemed to be familiar with this condition already, as he easily made his way through the jutting roots on the ground. When I tried to imitate him, I slipped my toe a bit, but luckily I managed to keep my posture.

[O Fate. You are using Roxy's body now, so please take better care of yourself.]

[That's right!! If you hurt Roxy-sama's body in any way, I won't fcomive you]

[I'll be more careful…]

I was just trying to let myself get more used to Roxy's body, but was reprimanded. Now I wonder if Aaron will really protect me…

Since he seemed to be familiar with the place already, I asked where we were now.

Aaron, keeping it simple, explained.

[This is the oldest section of the hobgoblin forest. According to the researchers, it is four thousand years old. Look at that huge tree. The trunk is at least 3 meters in diameter.]

[Ee, how many houses could be built if that tree was turned into building material]

[Hahahah, the capital will punish you severely if you do. When the capital was established, the hobgoblins had not settled here, and the forest itself was not called hobgoblin forest. Apparently it was originally a sacred ground. The ancestors of those who currently live in the capital were also said to be buried here. As time went by, that custom also disappeared. Now this place bees the ground of the hobgoblins]

[The ancestors of those who currently live in the capital were buried here…?]

[It is just an old story. No need to keep that in mind. But the capital wishes to cherish the memory of those who fought and worked for the founding of the country, even if its' people no longer remember]

[Alright, I'll keep that in mind. Miria should too!]

[I get it already, alright? But it's scary to imagine what if some zombie-san actually rose up from within the ground around this place?]

Miria quickly shook her head. Probably she had some bad experience with undeads.

I wonder why.

[So zombies are a no-no for Miria?]

[Uhuh. Because…..they smell bad when I cut and burn them with Flamberge. The smell sticks to my clothes…I can't even get rid of it after taking several baths…..just from remembering it, I feel my skin is crawling. On the other hand, skeletons are alright. They don't smell bad when cut or burnt, because they're just bones. If it's skeleton, then I'm all for it!]

[I see…]

My initial guess was pletely off. Turns out…..she was overly sensitive and scared of it for a very girlish reasoning.

Nothing less from Miria. She's always beyond my expectations.

[Well then, if zombie appears later on, I'll fight it.]

[No can do. You'll only blemish Roxy-sama's body. If that happens…]

Miria will fight it instead….? How sweet of her,

[We'll just have to leave it to Aaron-sama!]

[Me!?]

Not expecting that he would get the short end of the stick, Aaron's eyes went wide in near disbelief.

A girl who could use her mouth as adept as when she uses her sword! Miria will most likely grow into an outrageous woman in the future.
