Chapter 75 Goblin Forest
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
In the end, the afternoon was spent adjusting Dorothy’s gear and buying more camping supplies. In the evening, I stopped by the guild to let them know, “Tomorrow, we’re heading to Goblin Forest,” then returned to the inn and had dinner.
”What about the hot spring?”
”I think I’ll just use the bath here tonight.”
”Rena too.”
”Me too.”
”Then should we all go together?”
Kazumi said this and went to prepare the bath.
”If we’re all going together… does that mean Mr. Hiroya will join us too…?”
Dorothy looked a bit confused.
”Ah… well, if you’re worried, I can go in later, okay?”
”No, it’s a little embarrassing, but… we’re ‘family’ after all.”
Dorothy blushed a little and smiled.

It’s not like we’re doing anything special in the bath. It was a bit embarrassing but nice that all the new 5 sisters helped wash my body. Of course, I washed certain areas myself.
Anyway, it was definitely hard to know where to look. No matter where I turned, there were attractive bodies everywhere.
Kazumi’s body was still a bit immature but starting to have some curves, Rena’s chest was slightly bigger for her age, and her butt was getting rounder, Liz had a healthy, tanned body, Martina had a soft, plump body, and then──
”Dorothy has a bigger chest and butt than most elves. Is it because of the… crotch tattoo?”
Kazumi said this while looking at the faint glowing pattern on Dorothy’s lower abdomen.
”Yes. When an elf is excited, their body becomes curvier. I’ve heard it’s to attract male elves who have low s*x drive.”
Dorothy gently touched her crotch tattoo.
She was a bit shorter than Martina. Elves usually have slender bodies, but in Dorothy’s case, her slim waist stayed the same while her chest and butt were just as big as Martina’s.
It was unbalanced, but incredibly attractive.
I tried hard to control the blood rushing to my lower body. I didn’t want to ruin the fun atmosphere we had.

After the bath, everyone helped dry my body in the changing room. The girls were so attentive. I felt like a king.
”More like ‘master’ than a king, right?”
Liz playfully rubbed my head dry.
”I guess I’m ‘husband’ then. Feeling like a wife.”
Yes. Kazumi is my wife after all.
”…When we share our bodies, you become this bold, Hiroya…”
”Should I call you ‘big brother’ too?”
”What should I call you?”
”You two don’t need to use weird names, okay?”
After a light tease, we moved to the bedroom and snuggled up in bed together. I quickly fell asleep between Rena and Kazumi.
”I really wanted it again today…”
I thought I heard Liz whispering from far away.

The next morning, we finished getting ready and headed to the guild. I asked the receptionist, Miyori, about the route the previous party planned, and I submitted our request to enter that route.
”It’s cold, but it looks like it will be a calm day.”
We each carried our backpacks and walked toward the forest.
”If we reach the dungeon, it’s too dangerous to leave the horses waiting in the current ‘Goblin Forest.’”
Liz decided.
We carefully selected what to bring, keeping the weight as light as possible.
”I’m glad the dwarf sisters understood they couldn’t come with us this time, even though they were a bit upset.”
Even though I had ‘carefully selected’ my items, my backpack still felt pretty heavy as I adjusted it and continued walking.
”Since they’re not registered adventurers, we don’t know their skills.”
Kazumi stepped forward, crunching the snow under her feet.
That’s true. When I think about their skills when we first met, they seemed capable enough.
”Well, we’ll make sure to investigate properly first. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous.”
”Ah, they’re Mr. Toldo’s important grandkids. If something happens, I won’t be able to face Mr. Toldo.”
After leaving the village, we were lucky not to encounter any monsters in the snowy plains. We finally reached the path that leads to the forest.
”Alright, from here it’s the ‘Goblin Forest.’ I’ll leave the route instructions to Martina. Follow the directions we heard at the guild.”
At Liz’s words, Martina, holding the map, nodded seriously.
”We’re 2 days behind Guido and Otto. If they’re doing well, they should be near the center of the forest by now.”
Compared to the snowy plains, the path was much less covered in snow as we walked, with Liz and Martina leading the way.
”Don’t rush, Liz. Let’s go at our own pace.”
”Exactly. Since we’re carrying gear, if we push too hard, Rena and the others will get tired quickly.”
Kazumi and Rena followed behind Liz and Martina.
I walked at the very back with Dorothy.
”If you get tired from the heavy bags, let me know right away. I’ll carry them for you.”
”…We crossed the snowy plains without a break since leaving the village. Should we take a break here?”
Yeah. That’s a good call from Liz. ‘Don’t push ourselves’ is the theme for this exploration.
”Let’s do that. This exploration will definitely take a few days.”
I set my backpack down at the base of a tree. I spread out the ‘waterproof canvas’ tied to the bottom of my backpack and suggested everyone sit down.
”Rena will keep watch with her ‘Detection’ magic, so let’s relax.”
Rena also set down her bag, and everyone followed suit, sitting on the canvas sheet.
”I feel so much lighter now.”
Kazumi said this with a smile as she took out a tea set from her bag and boiled water using the ‘Flame Stone Plate’ we got from Ms. Sasha.
”…It’s really quiet. I wonder if the ones ahead have cleared out a lot.”
While warming up with the tea Kazumi made, Liz murmured.
”There are a total of 5 parties entering the same route. We should have it easier since we’re following behind.”
I took a sip of the tea. I felt warm spreading through my body.
”I hope so. Normally, what kind of monsters are around here?”
”Goblins, I guess… But according to the guild’s report, there are groups of goblins, hobgoblins, and high goblins. There are more of them than before, and they can be quite troublesome.”
Liz answered Dorothy’s question.
”…Martina, are you okay?”
I wondered if she had a fear of goblins. I asked quietly, feeling a bit worried.
”Yeah. I’m a little scared, but Big Brother Hiroya is here, so I’m fine.”
Martina said this with a fist pump and a smile. Goblins are increasing near the outskirts of the ‘Goblin Forest.’ And in the middle of the path, there are ‘large humanoid’ creatures like trolls and ogres.
”…I wonder what kind of monsters are dominant near the dungeon…”
I muttered this, and everyone looked worried.
”There might be youma (demon) types. If that’s the case, they could be a real hassle…”
Liz handed her empty cup to Kazumi.
”I hope the party ahead is safe…”
Rena said quietly.
”Well, the leading party is strong, and we’re following them, so I think they’re making good progress.”
Kazumi cleaned and put away the cups we all used with ‘Clean.’
”Alright, let’s get going.”
Rena pulled Liz’s hand as she stood up.
”I detected something with ‘Detection’… It’s a group. They’re still quite far away, though.”
”Quick, let’s spread out. Rena with me, Martina with Dorothy, and Hiroya with Kazumi. Let’s keep in touch with ‘Telepathy.’ Everyone hide in the bushes and get ready with your arrows! We’ll reduce their numbers with a surprise attack!”
”””””Understood!”””””
