made a sound that cut through the wind …and just like I aimed, it pierced through the goblin with Recovery Magic as its main in one go, instantly killing it.“GUOOOOOOO!”
With an arrow that leapt out of nowhere destroying the one that was in charge of recovery, the goblins that were beginning to fall into panic were charged at by Zetan who raised an overpowering roar.
Zetan’s hair right now is bristling on end, and he instantly looks a size bigger … so that’s why he got stuck with a nickname like “Wild Hair”; it really does look like his hair is going crazy.
Thanks to Zetan and my own intrusion, the goblins’ cooperation fell apart.
Zetan got close to Lady Meena; after dumping the Rare Potion on her he guarded her surroundings; with his power, he threw the vanguard goblins.
And as for Lady Meena, after recovering with the Rare Potion and with support coming in, her willpower also seemed to recover, so her movements became better.
With it becoming like that, the numbers of the goblins who have lost their cooperation were reduced one by one; when about half of them had lost their strength and returned to fragments of light, we began to see goblins fleeing.
A few minutes later, the goblins that had been mobbing were completely destroyed.
“I may not know who you are, but thank you for your help.”
After the fighting was over, Lady Meena bowed her head.
“No, well, we were moving after we accepted a commission from Lady Meena’s, your mother who wanted us to search for you. I am Zetan, and that human is called Earth.”
Since Zetan made his self-introduction as well as my introduction at once, all I had to do was bow my head.
“Zetan … you don’t mean “Wild Hair” Zetan-sama!? Aa, I’m so fortunate…”
So saying, Lady Meena gazed ecstatically at Zetan.
Fumu, I see, he’s getting his just desserts so soon after the ordeal from when I woke up; maa, it’s better to leave that for later.
“I beg your pardon, but why did you not transform? Since if you transformed, you could fight with more superiority?”
This is something I must ask.
“— Actually, although this was my daily walk, somehow there was this sweet smell and I started walking in this direction with my head all fuzzy … and when I came to, I had already come all the way out here. And then, all of a sudden the goblins surrounded me; in order to overcome the situation I was going to transform, but for some reason I was unable to transform, and it fell into a situation where I was forced to fight with my hidden sword…”
And Lady Meena became depressed. … It can’t be, na.
“Excuse me, are you unable to transform right now as well?”
To my question, Lady Meena had a gloomy face and nodded.
And furthermore, to have a clear distinction between the vanguard and rearguard portions and slowly but surely whittle down your opponent.
An existence that would do that is?
“Then, pardon me, but could you drink this?”
So saying, I handed over an Uncommon Anti-Poison Potion2. And after some time had pa.s.sed…
“Would you try transforming once more?”
I requested of Lady Meena.
Lady Meena nodded and began building up power… and pretty soon her figure became bigger and bigger, and then there was a pure white Fenrir bigger than Zetan.
“I transformed! Exactly why, when I couldn’t before…!?”
A slightly confused and fl.u.s.tered Lady Meena. Fumu, I’ll leave the rest to Zetan.
“Well then, Lady Meena, please return to human form and return to the city while riding on Zetan.”
From Zetan, “What about you? I’m fine even with 2 people riding together, though?”
“Sorry, I’m a little tired, so I’m going to take a bit of a break here before I go back.”
Is what I said. But Zetan looked at me for a while with a stern gaze…
“… Understood; don’t stay out to late, okay?”
Leaving that behind, with Lady Meena on his back he ran off.
Once I confirmed that Zetan and Lady Meena were far enough away, I stood up.
“—Come out; exactly how long do you intend to hide?”
I spoke loudly with a voice laden with provocation.
And, the fighting form that the goblins had when up against Lady Meena, as well as the fact that a human made antidote was able to cure her, what this means … can only be one thing.
“Staying silent? You’re being so cold; then, here, a present.”
So saying, at the spot that [one other] reaction is coming from, I tossed an Enhanced Oil.

A/N: Now then, it became another 3-parter. My apologies.
I’m a.s.suming it’s referring to Zetan’s goblin-throwing. Kintarou is a super strong kid who grew up in the wild and subjugated Shuten-doji. Maa, a folklore figure.I wanted to call it an antidote, but when it’s written in kana like that…
