After we repelled the humans who invaded the village, we went back to the village with the four humans, two female and two males, as prisoners. There, Gi Ga and the old goblin welcomed us back home with a hint of tear in their eyes.
It’s only expected, after all the village is an environment where it could diminish while the leader’s away.
Taking the opportunity to show off the difference in strength between me and the goblins, I took the Iron Second (Large Steel Sword) I stole from the human swordsman, and carried it over my shoulder,
The king is strong, you can’t win.
By showing that to them, be it consciously or unconsciously, every day, then the chances of them rebelling will also dwindle.
Then again they are stupid, so they might eventually forget anyway.
I had the prisoners imprisoned in one of the buildings, separating the males from the females. I made sure to confiscate anything that could be used as a weapon as it wouldn’t be any fun if they commited suicide. After all, these are the first humans I’ve made contact with since coming to this world.
From the battle a while ago, communication seems to be possible. So with that in mind, I want as much information as possible.
And above all else&h.e.l.lip; the existence of magic.
That woman, Res.h.i.+a Fel Zeal. I don’t know about the G.o.ds’ genealogy, but I feel as if there’s some sort of fate around her. If the chance presents itself, I’d like to ask if there’s something between the G.o.ddess of the underworld and the G.o.ddess of healing.
Amethyst colored pupils, blue hair extending until her shoulder, and annoyingly, a perfect face so beautiful that it looks as if it was given to her by the G.o.d of beauty. In fact, even I, a monster, can’t help but be charmed by her. Her small, damp lips, draw my eyes to her. And those gentle, wide-opened eyes of hers with the benevolence of a G.o.ddess seem to be shaking in distress.
Seeing that, desire jolted within my body, and I made a cruel smile.
If this continues, I’ll definitely fall to ruin.
Amused, I watched on at that destructive rampage lying before my eyes that was very much like a car speeding towards a cliff.
This so-called jail is really nothing more than a reinforced shed that was originally for animals.
Throwing the two women into the jail, the edges of my mouth twisted, and a vicious smile could be seen as I spoke to them.
"Don’t think of running away. At the very least, I don’t plan on hurting you as long as you stay here."
That female swordsman has her guard up as always, while I can’t figure out what Res.h.i.+a is thinking with that expressionless face of hers.
"If you run, I’ll eat the men. And if you commit suicide, I’ll do the same."
The female swordsman didn’t appear to have been affected by those words, but Res.h.i.+a on the other hand, a strong gleam of will seem to have been lit within her eyes as she looked at me.
"It’s a thought for the G.o.ds. What you should do to survive that is."
Having only said those words, I left the place.
"The king, himself, will punish anyone who dares to lay his filthy hands on the spoils!"
I faced the gathered goblins in the village, and declared that. And then, I distributed the food.
After I a.s.signed which goblins to take over guard duty for the night, I went to sleep.

"Zen.o.bia, why?"
I can hear the sad voice of a woman.
"It was I who fell into hades&h.e.l.lip; and yet! Why are you the only one who receives father’s affection!?"
It was because of the love of their father, the ancestor G.o.d who birthed the earth, Ativ.
That who shouldn’t be loved was loved. And the grief of the woman could not cease wherever it went.
Ahh, if I could only&h.e.l.lip; take the place of that woman, then&h.e.l.lip;
That cursed voice looked up from the depths of the darkness and strangled my neck.
◆◆◇
"&h.e.l.lip; This is why G.o.ds are s.h.i.+t."
Pus.h.i.+ng something unneeded onto me.
Rather than a G.o.d, aren’t you closer to a demon?
I stretched my back once, and shook off the dregs of that nightmare.
If I could only take the place of that woman.
The traces of that nightmare inside my head were like thick soil sucking me in.
"Well done. Looks like you didn’t run away."
That was the first thing I mentioned when I got to the jail where Res.h.i.+a and the female swordsman were.
I did consider them running away, but if it’s like this, then getting them to spit out information might be easier than expected.
Without speaking another word, I smiled viciously at them and left. First thing’s food.
The three man cell still hasn’t shown any results. I guess it can’t be helped. Suddenly making the goblins work as a three man cell&h.e.l.lip; of course it’ll be quite difficult.
There’re some groups that aren’t doing too bad though. As long as they find an impetus, they should be able to get some results, but&h.e.l.lip;
Well until then, I’ll have to do my best.
It’s also a good opportunity
