The Matter of My Party Members Being Aware of My Desire to Be Banished - Chapter 6

The following day.

We visited the Adventurer’s Guild.

This is where requests for monster subjugation, escort missions, and herb gathering are posted, which serve as sources of income for adventurers.

“Is it because of the season? There are a lot of goblin extermination requests posted.”

While looking at the numerous requests lined up on the bulletin board, Shion spoke.

“It’s true~. Half of the requests are for goblins. I wouldn’t mind accepting them, but…I really can’t handle goblins. Their appearance and their irritating, noisy cries…”

“In other words, you can’t stand everything about goblins. Well, I understand.”

I also have a hard time dealing with goblins, if I had to choose.

In fictional works, they are often depicted as somewhat cute, but in reality, they have a green body with a silhouette similar to humans, drooling from their mouths and bloodshot eyes, making them quite grotesque.

In the beginning, I used to have nightmares of being chased by goblins due to their shocking appearance…

“But, I wonder if goblins are tasty? Rokkun, make some goblin cuisine for us next time!”

“Eh… I’d rather not. I’ll end up dreaming about the insides of a goblin.”

Besides, goblins must not taste good at all…

If we ate them, something strange would probably come out of our rears, and we’d be stuck in the bathroom.

“I also can’t stand goblins. In the books I’ve read, elves were often told to be killed by goblins and were likely to be violated. I also have a hard time with their appearance.”

I’m more curious about the books that Marn-san has been reading.

Is she, with such a saint-like appearance, really reading books about being violated by goblins?

Moreover, those are definitely stories about princess knights, right?

Well, setting that aside for now… Goblin extermination is a request that every adventurer has probably taken at least once.

Paradoxically, an adventurer wouldn’t be able to do their job if they couldn’t defeat at least goblins.

For villagers and farmers, those without the power to fight, goblins are a significant threat.

That’s why, during their breeding season, there are so many requests for goblin extermination.

As for whether I can defeat goblins or not?

Actually… I don’t know. I’ve never fought them before, so I don’t know if I can defeat them.

Even though I’m just a baggage carrier, I still want to be able to defeat at least goblins.

In a world like this, where it’s normal for monsters to wander around, the power to fight is necessary.

However… If I look at these three’s fighting styles, I can understand why I can’t defeat goblins.

“Still, it seems like there are more goblin extermination requests left unsold rather than simply being posted in large numbers~”

“Ah… The rewards for goblin extermination are low after all. If you want to make money, you need to aim for monsters like orcs or great wolves.”

Since any adventurer can defeat goblins, the rewards are lower compared to other monsters.

Naturally, adventurers are less motivated to accept requests with low rewards.

Glancing sideways at the other parties making their selections, none of them were taking goblin extermination requests.

“Then, let’s go for goblin extermination today.”

Shion looks at us and smiles.

As always, he’s a handsome guy.

“We should be able to handle multiple requests at once. Besides, if the goblin extermination requests remain unsold, it would be troublesome for the guild staff.”

Right behind us is the reception area.

When Shion directs his refreshing smile at the several receptionists there… they let out excited “kyaa!” sounds and blush.

Damn it! Handsome guys!!

“Let’s do the goblin extermination for Jirai Village and the nearby towns as well. I’ll go submit the requests. You guys can sit down and wait.”

Shion headed towards the receptionist.

“This seems like it’ll be a long conversation.”

“Right~. Then, it’s okay to order something, right?”

“You can’t, Honoka-san.”

We face each other at a table in the adjoining bar.

Before our eyes, an amusing exchange takes place between Marn-san, who picks up the menu, and Honoka, who tries to take it but ends up with her face buried in Marn-san’s big breasts…

Indeed, breasts are truly wonderful.

Oops. If I keep grinning like this, I might be regarded as creepy, so I’ll look at the bald-headed adventurer sitting behind the two and calm myself down.

The bar offers meals and drinks.

People eat here before taking on requests, discuss strategies with their party, and deepen their relationships with fellow adventurers…

“Hey, look at that…”

“They definitely have an aura about them, huh?”

“Seems like they were outstanding the day before yesterday too.”

“I heard they’re way stronger than the adventurer parties from the royal capital.”

A party that’s incredibly strong stands out.

The gazes of the adventurers in the bar were focused on us.

Our party stands out because we’re incredibly strong.

Let me reintroduce my party members.

Honoka, the dual-wielding swordsman who serves as the front-line attacker with her perceptive and physical abilities.

Marn, the mage who excels in healing and defensive magic.

Shion, the magic swordsman who balances both swordsmanship and magic as an all-rounder.

Just by looking at their titles, you can already tell they are strong.

And then.

The one in charge of carrying baggage and handling all household chores, Rokuto.

…Yeah.

I’m the only one who seems weak just by the title.

This feeling of being out of place is incredible.

Being a baggage carrier, after all… I should be banished!!!

◇Brief Character Introduction◇

Azuma Rokuto
