The group of five greeted me, coming at lightning speed to greet me as quickly as possible the moment they sensed my return.
"It's good to see you again, Lady Maria. I've been doing my best to take care of the place with everyone else."
The first to speak was Gobu, the goblin chief which had been assigned with taking care of this place alongside many others.
He had grown in more ways than just size, his appearance as a whole had evolved, before he had become a Hobgoblin, but now he had become something else.
Taller, almost over two meters, his green skin became darker, and there were now a pair of black horns growing from his forehead.
"Auntieee! I'm happy you're back!"
Then a girl hugged me tightly, this voice… It was Gofumin! The young daughter of Gobu, and an adorable and extrovert little goblin girl.
