Strongest Little Girl Plan, Goblin Subjugation, Part 2

Quickly teaching the movements of the scythe.



「......Ei......Ei......Ei.」 (Tear)

After teaching her the basic form, she was steadily becoming able to use it.

「Alright, you’ve gotten pretty good at using it. After a bit of rest, we’ll move onto the main objective, hunting.」 (Izayoi)

After resting a few minutes, we finally stepped foot into the forest where the monsters lurked.

「Rigolo, you’ll be in the back. The goblins will run otherwise, right?」 (Izayoi)

We walked into the forest with good prospects. However, the forest had an odd ambience to it, didn’t it?

Rather, the atmosphere was tense with murderous intent permeating throughout. However, there were no signs of monsters.

No, to be accurate, with the exception of goblins, there were no indications of any other monsters.


(Astrea, something makes me anxious. Can you take a look at the state of the forest?) (Izayoi)

『W-what! You only rely on Astrea-chan at these times! You never talk to me if it’s not for something like this! B-but it’s not like I’m feeling lonely or anything like that, you know? I mean, Allele the fairy who just joined us—? She looks lonely doesn’t she? I think that’s what she thinks—? I’m different you know?』 (Astrea)

(Shut it, hurry up and investigate the forest. Otherwise I’ll toss the bodies of dead goblins into the storage.) (Izayoi)

『You being angry is scary...... You didn’t have to say it that seriously......』 (Astrea)


『Finished. The goblins seem to be a bit excited. It’s probably their mating season or something, but it shouldn’t be a problem...... Ah, there are also two people using concealment magic hiding in the forest. (Astrea)

(Concealment magic? Can you dispel it?)

『At this range it’s impossible. They’re using a very high level magic.』 (Astrea)

In this forest for beginners, are two people using high level concealment magic huh? Their aim is probably me. For now we’ll wait and see. Just in case I’ll be sure to not separate from Tear and Rigolo.

While walking through the forest with vigilance, we discovered two goblins.

「*Gigyaaaa!*」 (Goblin)

「*Hi*, Ichayoii.」 (Tear)

Recognizing our presence, the orcs brandished their cudgels and faced us. Tear backed up in fear.

「Listen up Tear. Watch me and the goblin.」 (Izayoi)

The two goblins were coming to attack. One was about the height of my waist, about the same as Tear. The monster which was about the same height as me held a weapon and approached me menacingly.

It can’t be helped if she’s scared. Although it can’t be helped, she has to get used to it.

「Take a good look at your opponent’s movements. To go straight against this incompetent enemy, do your best and your special training won’t let you lose.」 (Izayoi)

The goblin swung his cudgel downwards.

I used the base of the blade to parry it, and back stepped from the cudgel, and kicked off the ground with my feet.

「Create an opening, then at that moment use the attacking stance and it should be over.」 (Izayoi)

Tear was still frightened, and didn't move forward.



「......Tear. What’s wrong, you wanted to become a hero right?」 (Izayoi)

「......Because, the Hero-sama, cool.」 (Tear)

「The hero, why is he cool?」 (Izayoi)

「......Because strong.」 (Tear)

「To become strong you need to do a lot of training. This is important and difficult as well...... What, since the hero did his best to the end, he became strong don’t you think?」 (Izayoi)

Tears were coming out of the corners of her eyes, and her ears were alternatively moving as she thought.

「......Don’t understand.」 (Tear)

The goblin displaying open hostility returned with his cudgel, I fixed my eyes on Tear.

「It’s because, everyone had a sad expression.」 (Izayoi)

I lowered my back until my eyesight matched Tear’s, and looked straight into her eyes.

「Everyone, was making a sad face. It was hopeless. It was the end. However there was one last hope. If it was the hero, then he could do something about it. 」 (Izayoi)

After a while, I remembered a scene I had forgotten.

「When seeing the people, the hero thought about it. What he wanted, was for everyone to smile.」 (Izayoi)

「......Smile.」 (Tear)


When I was full of anxiety as an ordinary child, that girl held my hand.
She was the same age, but was blind.
Although she couldn’t see, the girl stared deeply into my eyes and kindly smiled.
At that time, I thought.
That smile, I’ll――

「Protect it. Protect everyone, he wanted everyone to smile. For that, the hero fought......Hey Tear, why do you hold a weapon? To wound people, and give them grief?」 (Izayoi)

「Wrong.」 (Tear)

「Monsters hurt people. People have no strength, and when someone is injured, they feel pain, and will die. Then that person’s friends, family, they’ll be sad won’t they? ......Do you want to see that? The tearful faces of saddened people?」 (Izayoi)

「......No.」 (Tear)

「I don’t either...... Nor do I want to see you crying.」 (Izayoi)

I softly placed my hand on Tear’s head, and gently caressed it.

「You did your best training, right? If that’s the case, you’re already the same as the hero then.」 (Izayoi)

「......Same as, the Hero-sama?」 (Tear)

「Ah, not at all the same, Tear is even better. But the hero made sure to bathe every day.」 (Tear)

「......Even though two days one time, become hero.」 (Izayoi)

Tear was still frightened. But a different feeling was beginning to sprout from her.

In a short while, a bright expression appeared on her face.


「......Do my best.」 (Tear)

「Go for it.」 (Izayoi)

「*Kukeke*」 (Rigolo)

In order for the Goblin to not escape, Rigolo, who was hiding in the forest let out only a small cry.

While trembling, Tear had taken a step forward.
