……That’s strange. I only found 5 Goblins today.
Usually, there are ten times that many, so it’s clearly fewer.
Goblins are a slightly unusual type of monster; unlike other monsters, they reproduce through sexual activity.
Most monsters are born depending on the magic power floating in the air and the environment of the land.
When those kinds of monsters are defeated, they are usually reduced to magic power and dissipate into the air, leaving only Magic Stones behind, but Goblins leave corpses.
Therefore, if you hunt monsters like Goblins too much, they will become extinct, but Goblins have a very high reproductive ability, and according to statistics, 2 million are born every day.
In exchange, their lifespan is short, only about 3 years…
In this forest, the number of Goblins wouldn’t decrease even if I hunted 50 a day.
So, the reason there aren’t any Goblins must be due to a major change in the environment.
Either the small animals that are their prey have disappeared, or they can’t get food like nuts,
In any case, it’s highly likely that it’s due to a change in the environment.
I guess I should report it to the Guild just in case…
I arrived at the Guild and reported the matter to the receptionist.
“I see, the number of Goblins has decreased considerably. It’s certainly unusual that you can’t find that many Goblins. Understood, we will investigate…”
At that moment, a large man who passed behind the receptionist stopped her.
“Hey, hey, do you really need to spare people for an investigation just because Goblins aren’t appearing? We’re busy tracking down the missing Demon Lord’s Army right now. Besides, the reason he can’t find Goblins is probably because this brat’s search skills are weak. He doesn’t even have decent Skills.”
This man spoke to me in a sarcastic tone.
He suddenly interrupted our conversation, who is he?
“G-Guild Master! No, but this is still…”
So he’s the Guild Master. Eclair-san, don’t panic. Cute.
“Shut up, it doesn’t matter. I don’t care if the number of Goblins increases or decreases. There will be no investigation.”
Seriously, the people in this Guild are really not normal.
“I’m sorry. Even though you went through the trouble of reporting it…”
“It’s okay, it’s not your fault, Onee-san.”
However, if Goblins aren’t appearing, what should I do to acquire Skills…
I don’t have any good ideas, so I guess I’ll have to stick to fighting Goblins that I can safely defeat for the time being…
My luck has been bad lately.
I returned to the Inn in a bad mood.
