章節 246: Just what are the goblins? Weren’t they supposed to just ugly purple thingies?

A charred pile of corpses. 

The smell was worse than that night back in Tehram. 

A squeak. Something was alive in there. I got the impression it was that thing I saw before. 

The corpses were mostly dead. The ones in front were very dead. I didn't feel like touching them, I didn't want to. 

But I had to. 

I had to take a look. I dug through the corpse. But even after suffering all this much because of goblins, even after knowing how evil and vile they were, I felt bad. I felt pity. 'Am I going soft again?' 

"What are you doing?" Came a high-pitched voice from behind me. Someone was mad. 

I didn't think she'd be done with the goblins this quick. And not to mention I never thought she'd disobey my wishes and come here in the first place. 

"Nothing." I kept on digging without even looking. 

"That's it? You're not even going to say a word?"

"…" I'd found something. "Take a look at this," I tried to look back.
