Chapter 91

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

I checked the skill spotlight site for the first time in a while. That was because the other day, the “Goblin Village” we all saw was way more amazing than expected, and I wondered if there was any way to sneak into it.

Normally, it would be reckless. My level isn’t enough but I have the [Support Magic]. Overconfidence is dangerous, but it’s worth four levels, so I have to keep that properly in mind. I know new skills won’t just sprout conveniently. But it’s impossible not to hope. Then, I’ll just research as much as I can.

“…Stealth… infiltration… what else might there be…? Maybe ‘presence concealment’?” (Kouta)

Oh! Skill-outside-skills… Yeah, gamers have used that term. So-called player skills. Apparently, the site admin kindly lists frequently asked-about skills like this… Thanks to them.

“Completely about technique… the others… Skill ‘Magic Eye’… here comes another chuunibyou-sounding one…” (Kouta)

Is it strong? Huh? Checking passive and active skills!? So, it’s not one skill with two roles, but different skills with the same name. Ridiculous.

“Norwegian songstress returns safely… oh, nice…” (Kouta)

She was a Norwegian woman with singing support skills. Kidnapped, held for 47 hours, then safely returned.  She declared she needs rest both mentally and physically and will take a break for a while. Support skill users still get targeted. We have to be careful too.

“…Skill info, skill info…” (Kouta)

Debuff-type, hallucination magic, darkness magic, poison magic, paralysis magic… Would these help entering the Goblin Village? Not useless, but are they suited for infiltration? Debuff magic likely acts directly on the nervous system.

I don’t need research results now. They can’t be avoided anyway. I want to know if my current sword can reach that chieftain-like goblin and his followers. Those followers are probably called “Hobgoblins”. Monsters considered weak in games but treated as strong foes now.

And one more, the “Goblin Mage”. If that one matches Mira’s magic level, further dungeon exploration is dangerous. Honestly, no matter how many lives I have, it won’t be enough. They’re known to appear normally in the floors ahead. The exact floors aren’t confirmed, considering monsters might cross floors. They come out of the dungeon if left alone. So, it wouldn’t be strange if they’re on other floors. Hence, floor certainty is avoided. This has pros and cons. If you trust it fully, you can’t handle irregularities. If you take it as is, fear keeps you from moving to the next floor. A real dilemma.

Tomorrow, Haruka-kun will act separately. Emilia and the others can’t enter the dungeon due to language study. I’m free for the first time in a while.

A Canadian streaming party teased us heavily, then challenged the fifth-floor Goblin Village and went silent. They gathered several parties, but no updates followed. Not live streaming, so not certain… People say they were wiped out.

I don’t want to drag a party into this, and I’m confident I can escape alone. I don’t know when the next chance will come. Until now, I have overlooked such chances even when I noticed them. That’s because I am coward.

I decided to stir trouble alone at the Goblin Village tomorrow. My target was the Goblin Mage, starting with that one.
