"Next we're going to the tool shop."
I said.
"Why are we going to the tool shop? I want to go kill those goblins as soon as possible!" "I don't know why you're so excited, but you need to be prepared. You don't want to die a virgin, do you?" "No, no, no, no, I'm not a virgin!" Dotin denies it desperately. There is no doubt in my mind. This guy is a virgin.
"Even if you weren’t a virgin, you wouldn’t want to die, right?"
"No matter what, I'm not a virgin!"
"Well, let's leave it at that."
"Even if you decide to leave it at that, I’m not a virgin!!"
The word "virgin" keeps coming back to me.
This is like shouting with all your might, "I'm a virgin!!"
"..."
The three good looking women were seriously taken aback by our conversation, or rather, by Dotin's sheer desperation. I decided to drop the subject, since the women looked uncomfortable, and it was more than clear to me that Dotin was a virgin. "All right, all right. You're not a virgin. Is that clear?"
"You just need to know! I'm definitely not a virgin!!"
"So why are we going to the tool store you ask."
Ignoring Dotin's persistent words, I proceed with the conversation. "Oh, oh..." "Mainly because there are two things I want to buy." "What are you going to buy?" "First of all, a torch."
"An? I don't need a torch. It's a pain in the ass."
"Well, don't say that. Goblins have great night vision. Darkness is their domain." "Is it so?" "That's right. If you go in there without a light, are you planning on committing suicide?" I said, looking astonished. "Indeed, as Charles said, I have never heard of anyone seeing a goblin during the day." "It's only at night that they secretly steal chickens and such. They're followers of darkness, so I guess they only become active at night." "That's right. That's why we're hitting them now, during the day." "In that case, let’s go quickly! The sun is almost setting!!" "That's why I said we need to be prepared. Listen to what others have to say until the end." "Understood……" Dotin said reluctantly.
"We'll talk more about it while we look for the tool store. Does anyone know where it is?" Everyone shook their heads to the side. Everyone, including myself, is new to this town, so no one seems to know the geography of the area very well. There is definitely an information board near the guild. After confirming the location of the tool shop, we headed there. We walked in single file so as not to get in the way of passersby.
"This party has three rear guards." "Yeah." "If you are approached by goblins, there is a good chance that you can create some distance by brandishing a torch. They are not good with fire. Even though they use fire themselves." "…Is the goblin an idiot?" Shatitina looks stunned. "It is true that goblins are said to have the strength and intelligence of a child." "Yes." "However, it also means that they have the strength and intelligence of a child. Don't underestimate them." "I'll keep it in mind…!" Everyone's expressions turned serious at my words.
"That's a good idea. There are quite a few adventurers who have lost their lives because they underestimated the goblins. I don't mean to scare you, but please be careful." "Yes." "As for the three rearguards, I want to say they'll be fine because I’m here." Since this is the crux of the story, I take a breather and continue. "I don't want you to drop your guard just because I'm here. I can't stay in this party forever." Hearing my words, the three people except Dotin showed sad expressions. I pretended not to notice and continued.
"After I leave, I recommend that you bring in someone with a job who can stand up as a second vanguard. The sense of stability is different between one person and two people." "Oh, I'll think about it." Dotin gives a short reply.
"Back to the topic at hand, torches are essential for defeating goblins. This will be on the exam, Ok?" I said jokingly.
