The amount of experience you get is limited for the same race. When I heard the shocking news, I was stunned by all the things going through my mind.

“Mr. Rin, Mr. Goblin, are you listening?”

The village girl shook me. I was scooped up from the swamp of thought.

“Oh, I’m listening, village girl… I’m sorry, I was a little dumb.

“Are you all right?”

“Yeah, just a bit drowsy after the night shift.”

“Take it easy.”

“Thank you, I’m fine.”

While interacting with the village girl, I felt my identity collapse.

The faint love for the village girl, the excitement for the town in another world for the first time, and the hope for the adventurer who is a template for another world were all blown away.

I understood clearly that I was a foreigner in this world, having been suddenly reincarnated by God. I’ve come to understand.

What is my non-human being? Is it possible to have children even if they are tied to a village girl? Isn’t it abnormal with the magic tools of the church?

All sorts of thoughts went through my head. And then it dawned on me.

Is it Nani specializing in karate’s interpersonal technique and is similar to a person who gains experience points by killing people?

If I were an authority figure, I would do whatever it took to get rid of him. I would hunt them down and kill them.

Worst of all, they mustn’t know I’m here. I can’t be with the village girls. I’ll get them involved.

I will probably be tortured, humiliated, thoroughly tormented, and my name will be disgraced even after my death as one of the monsters.

I traveled with the village girl, heartbroken that my love, which had not yet begun, was over.

I fell in love with her on my own and gave up on her on my own, so why does my heart ache so much?

After a while, we arrived at our destination, Rockcliffe.

The fortified city of Rockcliffe. It was built not as a precaution against monsters but against the barbarians who once ruled the land.

Surrounded by walls, it was once a frontline town, but now it has been transformed into a thriving trading city with neighboring countries.

It was like seeing a medieval European town, and it lifted my spirits.

I put on a hooded dressing gown and pulled the hood up deep so that no one could see me.

I didn’t want to be seen with the village girls.

There was a long queue at the gate. As he and the village girl stood in line, she spoke to him.

“Mr. Goblin, you don’t look well. Are you all right?”

I thought I was behaving as usual, but the village girl seemed to notice.

“It’s all right. I’m just a bit tired, that’s all. I’m just a bit tired, that’s all. I’m sure I’ll feel better after a rest at the inn in town.”

“I see. Thank you for your help so far, goblin.”

The village girl bowed her head.

“You’re welcome.”

I smiled at her.

“When we get to the town, we’ll tell each other our names. We’ll tell each other our names when we get to the town and then we’ll go and have dinner together. I’ve only been here once before. There is a good meat shop.”

He had a bright, dazzling smile. I thought my heart would be crushed. I clenched my teeth and fought back the tears.

I had to tell him that this was the end of our relationship. I had to say to him that I was leaving town soon and that he should forget about me.

I answered as naturally as I could with a smile.

“I’m sorry, a village girl. I’m going to leave this town when I have enough money. I don’t intend to stay long, and the guards may come to arrest me for killing the villagers. I don’t want them to think I’m one of them, so forget about me and don’t ask me my name.”

“Oh, no. ……”

Please, it’s painful for me to think that I’ve caused trouble for you. If you see me in town, forget about me. If you see me in town, The village girl’s face twisted. I’m sorry I’ve given you this look again,” she said.

“If Goblins want you to do that, do it.”

If you ask her to do something for me, she can’t refuse. I hate myself for it.

We talk, as usual, a little awkwardly, and then it’s our turn to examine the gate.

The soldier on duty at the gate was looking at the village girl with an insistent gaze. Then he asked in an intimidating manner.

“What are you doing in Rockcliffe?”

The girl said, a little frightened.

“We’ve come for the apothecary’s sister.”

“The apothecary? You mean Master Clayane?”

“Yes, sister Clay.”

“I beg your pardon.”

It was a sentinel who turned his eyes to suspicion for a moment, but it seems that he decided that it was not a lie because the luggage I was carrying was a tool and herbs related to pharmacists…

I was surprised by the guard’s sudden politeness. The village girl’s apprentice might be a big deal in this town.

They didn’t even bother to check her belongings, just collected a silver coin for the entry tax, and that was it.

The village girl was exempted from the tax, which was inexplicable.

As we entered the town, the different smells from the forest made me feel sick. The organic smells of the forest were strong, but the smells of this town were even stronger.

The smell of spices, the workers’ sweat, the vile perfume of the prostitutes, the stench of feces, urine, and decay mixed with the smell of the slums.

The mixture of these smells assaulted my nose, which had become acutely sensitive from living in the wild. I gagged and started to cry.

The town was bustling with life, and the streets were full of people coming and going.

Many of them looked like the village girls, the way Japanese people imagine Westerners to look. Others were brown-skinned, some with Western features but dark hair.

As a trading city, many different people are visiting the city. Seeing the liveliness of the people and a variety of goods, I got a little excited. I’m a cash cow.

I’m a bit of a nostalgic person, and I’m following the village girl, looking around.

I walked diagonally behind her, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible, but it seemed that I was conspicuous with my huge backpack, and people were looking at me.

After walking for a while, I saw a large building with white painted walls that looked clean.

Even in a different world, the clinic-like place is a building conscious of cleanliness based on white. Thinking about that, I approached the building.

When you get to the front of the building, a woman and an older man come out of the building.

“Thank you very much, Master.”

“Grandpa, I’m glad you’re feeling better. Don’t you ever get sick again!”

A strong-looking woman with dark hair and brown skin spoke cheerfully to the older man, who bowed to her.

After seeing the older man off, she entered the building when she noticed the village girl.

“Belle, it’s Belle! Why are you at Rockcliffe?”

“It’s been a long time, Sister Clay.”

She bowed her head.

“Come in. We’re not going to stand around talking.”

She glanced at me and then went into the building. She told me where to put my bags, and I unloaded them.

The inside of the building resembled a modern hospital. The rooms were clean, the waiting and examination rooms were separate, and the patients’ privacy seemed to be taken care of.

I had the impression that it was more like a field hospital, with lots of patient beds and cumbersome treatment. I was surprised to find that the building was much nicer than I expected.

According to the village girl, the medicine man does not only prescribe medicines. They also perform surgical treatment.

The church’s healing magic is not readily available to the general public as it requires a large donation. Therefore, when ordinary people are injured, they go to the medicine man for treatment.

The healing magic cannot cure many church illnesses, and it seems that a good pharmacist has a hard time pulling. Looking at this hospital, the level of treatment may be high.

I don’t know if the village girl’s sister and apprentice’s skill is particularly good or if this world is prominent only in the medical field and civilization is advancing… However, it feels strange for me to learn how civilization progresses on the earth…

As I was thinking about this, I was guided to a private room in the back. The village girl and the medicine woman were happy to see each other again after a long time, chatting.

After a while, the pharmacist lady got down to business. She was asked what had happened to her when she left the village with her luggage.

She asked me what had happened. She looked at me as if she was staring at me, but I didn’t feel bad.

I was worried about leaving the calculating but somewhat ponderous village girl alone. I knew I could rely on this woman, I thought.

After the village girl’s story, the medicine woman pondered for a while. She then said that she wanted to talk to me alone.

The village girl looked at me. I gave her a small nod, and she left the room.

“What is your name?”

I was about to say my name was Hitoshi Nozaki but stopped myself. Hitoshi Nozaki is dead. I’m just a wild man now.

“I call myself a wild man.”

He answered.

“I’m Crayanne, Belle’s apprentice and Count Megan’s adopted daughter.”

Earl Meighan! During our journey, we heard from a village girl about the Lord of Rockcliffe.

The Earl of Meighan is the Lord of Rockcliffe. It’s not just Rockcliffe. It’s a huge aristocrat with a huge estate.

He said he was the adopted daughter of the Earl of Meighan. ……

The soldier who was collecting the entrance tax should be flirting with the village girl. It was bigger than I expected.

I apologized for my rudeness and tried to speak as politely as I could in my humble honor. But Miss Cleiane told me to talk as I usually would.

“Even if you say the adopted daughter of the Lord, it’s just the shape… I say it myself, but a good pharmacist is valuable… If you remain a commoner, the aristocrats can be forcibly kidnapped. “

To keep a good apothecary, it is said that she was adopted as a daughter, but the Lord recognized that it was worth it. It’s a big deal, no doubt. I think I can trust her with the village girls.

I was asked to explain again. I told him how I met her and how I came to Rockcliffe after a dispute with the villagers.

She was angry when I told her that the chief’s idiot son had tried to control her with violence. But he seemed to calm down when he heard that I had killed the idiot son in an unsuccessful attempt.

After hearing all this, Mr. Craiane thought for a moment. Then he asked me.

“What are you going to do now?”

“I’m going to become an adventurer, earn some money, and then leave the city as soon as possible.”

“That’s better. You killed the village mayor, but the Lord of the previous generation gave birth to a prostitute after he was old… I was doing whatever I wanted, so I was sent to a remote village as a village chief to get rid of the trouble… I was a troublesome prince, so even if I was killed, I sometimes left it as it was… Even so, there is a fear that the Lord’s clan will kill you over the face of the aristocrat… It would help if you left the town as soon as possible. “

The village chief had a big attitude, but he was a member of the Lord’s family? It’s a good idea to get out of town as soon as possible, even if you’re a bastard.

“I understand. I will leave town as soon as I have enough money.”

“Are you going to be an adventurer?”

“Yes.”

When I said this, Mr. Craiane blatantly frowned.

“What are you going to do about Belle?”

“If you break up here, you should act as strangers so that you don’t bother. I told the village girl that.”

Mr. Craiane looked a little surprised. She looked a little surprised, then said, “That’s better.

“It’s better that way.”

“Take good care of the village girl.”

“She’s my little apprentice. I’ll take good care of her without your help.”

“Thank you very much.”

When we left the room, she was working at the hospital.

“As usual, Belle is a hard worker.”

She had a kind look on her face as she said this.

He stopped her and said goodbye. I felt my face tighten up. I wondered if I was smiling well.

“Well, goodbye, a village girl.”

“Thank you very much, Mr. Goblin. Take care, goblin.”

We couldn’t say “goodbye” or “see you again,” and we broke up after exchanging ambiguous words. After hearing the location from Mr. Criane, he quickly walks to the Adventurer’s Guild.

I should change my mind. From now on, I’m risking my life to fight monsters and earn money. I’m going to be risking my life, literally. I must brace myself.

There will be a lot of danger. I don’t know the first thing about this world, I don’t know who I am, but I’m going to make money. There’s no such thing as a safe and easy job, of course.

I can’t let my guard down. It’s not fair to be too careful and mentally involved, but it’s not fair to be sad and relaxed.

As I walked with renewed determination, I saw a sign with a crossed sword on the top of my shoe. It was the adventurer’s guild, a familiar name in otherworldly temples.

I walked into the building with a mixture of anxiety and excitement in my heart.

I was expecting to see a beautiful receptionist like in the novel, but there was no lovely receptionist. The receptionist was a stern older man with a scarred face. He was guarding what appeared to be the purchase counter, and a pimply, scary-looking man was looking at me like I was staring at him.

The only staff member is a strong-faced, older man! And the atmosphere of the shop is too bad. I understand why Clayanne frowned when she heard of adventurers.

Gorotsuki group = It seems that it was a different world template for adventurers. Rather than having a tavern attached to the adventurer’s guild, a section of the tavern is more like an adventurer’s guild.

The adventurers who drink alcohol from daytime are all ill-mannered. All of them have a watchful face that seems to have one habit and two habits.

Even though I was drinking and making noise, I was alert the moment I entered the guild. In both good and bad ways, it created an atmosphere peculiar to those who are in battle.

As I looked at the adventurers, my eyes met with a skinhead man drinking at a table at the far end.

“What the hell are you looking at?”

The man shouted so loudly that the bar shook with fear. If you’ve got a lot of money, you’ll be able to use it to make a lot of money.

I was in tears when I got tangled up before I even knew how strong I was in this world. There’s no receptionist, all the adventurers have bad personalities, and I’m getting tangled up in the middle of nowhere, and I honestly feel like crying.

The man who shouted the loudest came up to me, holding an ax that was propped up on the table.

You can find a lot more than just a few of these in the marketplace.

I know it’s a level playing field, and looks don’t equal strength, but it wasn’t very safe. A two-meter skinhead with an ax is the type of bandit master with which the main character would struggle.

I’m so scared. I wanted to run away right now, but I knew that I was done for it once I was licked, so I made up my mind.
