A Righteous Female Knight Never Compromises!-Chapter 44 : You're numb, I'm numb too
Chapter 44 - You're numb, I'm numb too
This achievement is probably really gone.
Anna felt like she had checked it over a hundred times, going through each achievement one by one in the unlocked achievements list, but she still couldn’t find the 100 achievement points she had been dreaming about.
My achievement points, my achievement points... sob...
Why did the promised bottle of Attribute Enhancer β turn into Attribute Enhancer α?
Today, my hands tremble... today, my heart aches...
Why is this happening? I gave everything, yet I can’t get the slightest bit of love I wanted... Why does heaven inflict this pain on me? What did I do wrong? What exactly did I do wrong? Simulator?
I... I... I... I really love you so much, why are you treating me like this? Waaah—!! Simulator! Achievement points!!!! Gah! Yikes! Wah! Yaaah!
Anyway, Anna was numb, completely numb.
It wasn’t just the numbness of a small fish anymore, it was the numbness of an electric eel king.
After all, losing 100 achievement points is a huge loss. If you had the simulator, you’d be numb too.
After having the simulator for so many... days, Anna finally understood just how much those 100 achievement points were worth.
Even in the Kingdom of Rianved, where the economy was a bit unstable due to the recent royal succession, those 100 achievement points could be exchanged for a huge sum of gold coins.
Not to mention, even if the economy is unstable, gold coins can’t depreciate that much. At most, the minters would just lower the purity of the gold coins.
But does purity even matter?
Now that Anna was numb, what could she use to vent her frustration?
Riding her horse, Anna looked at the target on the commission with ill intent.
And just like that, she found her venting target.
Meanwhile, Atala, sitting behind her, felt a sudden chill.
Just a moment ago, the armor didn’t feel this cold. Why does it feel so piercing now?
Could this armor have some kind of delayed freezing enchantment?
What kind of enchantment master would be crazy enough to put a delayed attribute spell on armor? Besides, delayed spells can’t even be enchanted on armor.
...
Then, during the fight, Atala finally saw Anna, who was chasing a group of brainless goblins, hacking away at them wildly.
“Anna... do you have some kind of grudge against goblins?” Seeing the force with which Anna swung her longsword, as if she were cutting down enemies, Atala couldn’t help but think the worst.
Fortunately, she didn’t think of anything like the content of a certain erotic novel, such as the recent controversial novel popular in the Kingdom of Rianved, “Goblin Slayer.”
The setting was quite unique, of course, it couldn’t correspond to reality. At most, it was just a similar world.
... In this world, goblins not only have genders but also a certain level of intelligence. Some goblins even live quite sophisticated lives and can do business with humans.
Not to mention, for goblins, unless they have particularly peculiar tastes, no goblin would ever fancy a human...
Those goblins believe that the more green they are, the more beautiful they are. The shorter and skinnier, the more desirable. It’s best to have a long, sharp nose with large nostrils, preferably with lush nose hair. The long, exaggerated ears, even more so than those of elves, should be intact, and it’s fine to have some piercings. But if there’s any damage, their attractiveness would drop significantly...
... It’s also unclear how goblins are distinguished from the similar-looking kobolds. Is it just because kobolds have more diverse skin colors?
In fact, because of some similar features, many people have confused kobolds with goblins...
“No, I just remembered something that made me angry.”
Oh, venting anger, huh?
Atala understood, silently apologizing to these goblin bandits who had been commissioned for raiding a merchant’s caravan, and then picked up her bow.
... Then, the explosive arrows she shot were even more intense than Anna’s slashing, leaving Anna herself stunned.
Wait, Atala, I’m just venting by hacking at these clueless goblins. What are you doing?
D-rank professionals can casually make temporary explosive arrows, so you’re just going all out, huh?
What about your mana!?
Wouldn’t it be better to spend 24 hours enchanting five explosive arrows instead of wasting mana like this?
Oh, right, I have someone else supporting me, and Atala herself is a rich woman who’s supporting me.
Never mind then.
Under the terrifying offensive firepower of these two, the remaining goblin bandits knew the situation was hopeless and came out of the wooden fortress that had been blown apart, raising their hands in surrender.
Each of them even had a look of relief on their faces.
Being bombarded by an E-rank knight and a D-rank ranger, we’re just a bunch of goblins. What did we do to deserve this?
Why don’t you guys take on some tasks like slaying earth dragons to make a name for yourselves, instead of coming here to pick on us goblins?
Originally, there was just Anna wildly swinging her longsword. Even though the knight knew some magic, the destructive power was limited. So hacking away was fine. Once she killed enough, she’d probably go back to , and we could hide in the fortress and still be fine.
But under Atala’s mana-free explosive arrows, these goblins really couldn’t hold on.
How could this wooden fortress withstand such an onslaught?
As a result, in just a few minutes, the commission was almost completed.
On the way back, Anna led on her horse, with Atala moving from behind to sit in Anna’s arms, not minding the bloodstains on Anna’s armor at all.
Tied with a rope and being led by Anna were dozens of goblins with their hands bound.
Without a doubt, these goblins would later be held as prisoners in jail. Some goblins with decent status might be treated well, waiting for their families to ransom them. Those with lower status might be stuck in jail indefinitely, or even used as scapegoats for public execution.
Only in such moments do humans show such consistency in their treatment of humans and other races...
“Anna, you seem to have something on your mind?”
“When don’t I have something on my mind?”
She said this so confidently that Atala didn’t know how to refute it.
It’s true, Anna always seems to suddenly be pondering something, and her emotions can swing wildly.
One might think she has some kind of mental illness.
“Then... is it something I can share?” Atala’s words caught Anna off guard.
“I want to share a bit of Anna’s emotions.”
“... It’s not a big deal,” Anna’s face turned a bit red at her girlfriend’s sweet words.
“I just remembered something about losing money, and it’s a bit annoying... no big deal!”
... Although it wasn’t a small amount of money.
Meanwhile, the goblin prisoners tied up and being led behind were also numb.
We’re already prisoners, and now we have to listen to you two ugly creatures (from a goblin’s perspective) talk about love. Is this fair?
