238 The secret is revealed *Thud, thud, thud* “Big brother, I am tired of waiting. I wanna play with Plow. ” Tula abruptly entered the bedroom and went to sit beside Vincent. She looked at Vincent, slyly smiled, and swiped Plow from his lap. Tula looked at Ben and noticed he was looking at her with a worried expression. “Is uncle Ben with an owwie tummy? I can ask mommy to help.” “No, Tula, you got it all wrong. Please stay away from Vincent. ” Ben spoke with an agitated tone.…-

237 Busted Ester smirked and continued, “So I told them as arrogantly as possible, while my heart was nervously beating so quickly I thought it was about to escape my body.” “Vice Captain Ben from the south gate is waiting for us to bring his injured friend to him. We are already late as it is. Vice Captain Ben with his Vice Captain buddies might come to the east gate to look for us soon.” “Additionally, this man has a rising star title from the adventurers guild. Are you sure you want…

236 Naming the fourth retainer’s new race Iris wore a green skirt with flower embroidery at the bottom, a green lace blouse also with flower patterns, and a black scarf tied with a cute butterfly knot. The set of clothes looked charming on Iris, and it was easy to guess what her favorite color was, but the question Vincent had was, ‘From where did Iris get the clothes?’ Iris looked elegant, giving the impression that nobles wore similar clothes as they relaxed in their mansions. Vincent…

235 Departure Furthermore, Ester didn’t mention a word as she caringly rubbed the slightly damaged Elsir. Ester felt sad after the only memento of her parents not only got damaged, but she couldn’t connect with her blade. Ester didn’t know Elsir was in a dormant state and would remain for more than one year. “Gobu?” “Gobi?” Two goblins questioned. “Ester... W-what are you doing? Do humans like their food cold?” Iris asked the same questions the goblins staring with a…

234 Spending the last night together Iris got up and decided to prepare for the next day’s departure. From the time when the goblins started waking up, explaining what happened, and bringing all the herbs from her hidden stash to help Vincent recover, Iris didn’t have much time to rearrange her stuff. Iris brought everything she could take with her and started packing them in small baskets made out of sticks. After she was almost finished, Iris remembered about the Seed Rebirth spell. “I can…

233 Iris and her goblin tribe Iris nervously approached with a small piece of juicy cooked meat skewered in a stick and said, “Our tribe has cut the largest portion and cooked it as a sign of respect, but...” “The children are scared of you because the adults scolded them to act respectfully. But those two children wanted to bring you the food.” Iris said while looking at the food in her hand. She looked nervous and uncomfortable. “Scared?” *Munch* “I only eat cooked meat now.”…

232 A new Iris . . ‘The rewards can wait. I need to hurry.’ Vincent decided while removing the notification window. Because Vincent couldn’t remember what happened during Overload and Kazumi was too exhausted to explain, all he needed to know was if enough goblins survived for the quest to get completed. Time was of the essence, but Vincent couldn’t move as multiple earth spikes still impaled him. He clenched his fist and destroyed most of them with one swing. After…

231 A green crescent moon The alpha grizzly bear swung its paw out of fear, but Vincent quickly caught with a firm grip and stopped it. Vincent opened his mouth wide and viciously bit the paw multiple times like a rabid beast. The alpha grizzly bear contorted its face from pain and lifted its paw, but Vincent remained stuck like a dog that didn’t want to let go of the stick. The alpha grizzly bear then started swinging its paw, but no matter how much up and down Vincent was waved like a piece of…

230 A hopeless struggle Iris watched Vincent charging towards the monstrous bear, yearning for blood. She clasped her hand together and prayed for Vincent’s safety and victory. One second felt like an eternity, but time never stopped. The two opposing forces rushed at each other without the slightest doubt to stop. Shortly, Vincent and the alpha grizzly bear reached striking distance. A large pair of maws opened wide to bite Vincent to death. Any sane person would try to evade such a deadly…

229 No place for two monsters The goblins stopped throwing objects immediately after their bodies froze from fear, and their breathing became heavy under the pressure of dread. From the goblins’ perspective, they felt as if down below them lurking in the fog was a monster more dangerous than the alpha grizzly bear hiding in the pit. The thought of such monstrosity climbing up and devouring them with no fighting chance terrified them even further. *Roar!* The alpha grizzly bear fought back with…
