While they don't have any influence whatsoever, they are close to the head of the branch of Adventure Guild, so, obtaining a D-rank commission for the girls is easy enough.
What is not easy, is making sure the boys didn't follow them into the forest. Especially Ian.
"You have to stay here," Fiona's tone is more similar to a person telling their dog to stay. Then again, Ian somehow had a pair of dog ears as he looked down, clearly upset.
"We need this so we can get our rank up," Fiona insisted before scratching the back of Ian's ear. The fact he likes it makes Kell almost burst laughing.
"I think he understands, I am going to make sure he did not move," Kell told them.
"And I am going to make sure the both of them will not follow you in secret," the receptionist said.
"Thank you, we will be going now," once the girls left the building, both Kell and Ian would have dashed towards the door if not for the receptionist holding them by the back of their collar.
"STAY," he did not yell but the aura the receptionist unleashed made the two decide to be obedient for once.
-x-
"I hope the receptionist could keep them from coming after us," Lisa said out loud.
"You don't have any hope for Kell too?" Fiona asked the brunette.
"He is just as a lost cause as your boyfriend slash lover. I am going to ask this while they are not here, how good is he?" Lisa asked, making the blonde blush.
"He's... good. Really good. But also, his sexual desire is rather high. I mean, I like it, the copulation is amazing but if it happens every night, I think I will have a limp every day if he did not have Heal," Fiona admitted.
"And what about the hunk of muscle, did you get anywhere in claiming his virginity? Lisa and Ana make a sound of choking. Well, since they don't eat anything, they must have been choking on air.
"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?!" Lisa wailed at Fiona, Ana currently trying to get the ground to swallow her up.
"You did ask for my love and sexual life, so, I should learn about yours as well," Lisa looked away from the intrigued gaze of the blonde, hoping she would not push for more.
Unfortunately, Fiona is on a warpath, and will not stop until she gets what she wants.
"How dense is the big guy?" Fiona asked, after all, the two should try to show off their feminine charm when is given, right?
"Yes," Lisa blankly said, her eyes dead with no life in it. Ana is the same, clearly did not want to talk about it.
"That bad?" the blonde received nods in answer.
"Well, we should talk about this after we deal with the commission," Fiona decided to focus on their job at the moment.
After all, they arrive at the goblin's hideout.
-x-
Ana quickly took her spot as the one at the front, the vanguard while Fiona at the middle, followed lastly by Lisa.
The blonde mage cast Glimmer, allowing some light so they could see while keeping her mana usage low.
With a source of light, the trio headed deep inside the hideout, preparing for everything. From what they learned of the commission, there had been 2 groups of adventurers that had taken the commission, but neither returned.
Considering the two groups are considered at the top of E-rank groups, the guild had upped the rank of the commission to D-rank. The two did not try to give them any hint, but they had been with them for quite some time.
So, they make the assumption that there would be hobgoblins and goblin shamans inside the hideout. With knowledge of what type of enemies to be expected, they only need to wait until they meet them.
"Ggrggh,"
From the growling, the goblins had spotted them. They growled at the trio before letting out laughter, one that could be interpreted as lecherous. The monsters, goblins, and orcs are known to be lecherous and would use captured females as breeding tools.
Unfortunately, the two monsters merely need a leyline to be spawned into the world, and there is no way to stop it. So, the world has to suffer their existence for the rest of forever.
The trio did not plan to be turned into breeders by the vile creatures, so they planned on making sure to win this engagement, for their promotion to Iron-rank adventurer, and to exterminate the green creatures, at least from Thrine Forest for a while.
The goblins charged at them, leaping at Ana who cleaved the jumping two in half. Two arrows zipped past the redhead, killing the archers at the back.
Fiona keeps on creating light, as the two fighters need to see if they want to handle the monsters.
"Make sure to stay close," Ana yelled before she dashed towards the goblins. Fiona and Lisa did the same, with the archer looking back in case there were goblins outside and just entering the hideout.
After making sure there were no goblins attempting to outflank them, she followed the other two, stepping on the dissipating corpses of the goblins, not forgetting to collect the magic stones as well.
"Take this!" Ana yelled, bisecting and killing the goblins. There had been more than 20 goblins that had fallen from her blade alone.
*Swish*Thuck*
Another two goblins meet their end from arrows, Lisa is currently on 9 kills. Fiona is the only one who did not kill any goblins but they knew her moment to shine was about to come.
"Looks like this is a big one," Ana warned the other two who spotted what she saw, a horde of nearly 50 goblins, give or take, charging at them.
At the very front is the likely leader, a hobgoblin roaring at them. "Looks like there is a shaman as well," Lisa said, her eyes spotting a goblin holding a staff unlike what Fiona and Ian have.
"Fiona," the blonde did not need any more words. She cast Flare, blinding, the entire group of goblins, making them wail in pain of their eyeballs being burned by the light of a thousand suns.
From the sound of things, they had crashed at each other, some even slipping on the rocks, while some hit the cave walls by the sound of things.
Fiona quickly changes it to Glimmer before aiming Arcane Shot with his hand, before firing at the shaman at the back. The goblin could not react before having a hole at the side of its head.
"Let's end them once and for all," Ana exclaimed before jumping towards the hobgoblin and thrusting his sword into its head, killing the monster.
