It was a few hours after I decided to get Alexios’ cooperation.

The point where I was getting annoyed and wanted to escape. There was a familiar goblin who came to take me out.

“Your personality isn’t going anywhere. How many accidents did you have in that short time… … .”

“Oz. Why did you have to repeat the same sin? I heard that many people were hurt.”

And that’s with the subject I’m having the hardest time seeing right now.

The posture of sitting on the wall automatically changes to the posture of kneeling. Alexios, who was watching from the other side, sneered at the corner of his mouth.

Damn it… … . It’s humiliating.

I can’t bear to lift my face

“… … I’d like to say, but if Oz-sama did something, there must have been a reason, right?”

“… … .”

Are you an angel?

How can you trust me when I’ve destroyed the judge and broken the goblins’ limbs?

Kindness like that is rather poison to me now.

I definitely did it with some purpose.

But it wasn’t without selfishness either.

To put it bluntly, I did it with 20% purpose and 80% selfishness.

“Wrong. Arrieta. No face. I won’t make any excuses, so please be angry.”

“Puha… … !”

I can’t even raise my head.

On the other side, I can hear Alexios laughing as if he had endured and endured until he exploded.

You bastard, just finish this job. Don’t do a tosagupaeng right away.

* * *

Arrieta didn’t get angry with me until the end. that was more scary Anyway, I managed to get out of the damn prison.

However, in ＜Dokkaebi Forest＞, it seems that the party is staying at Baekyang’s house because there are no buildings to serve guests.

So, as if it were natural, I decided to stay at Baekyang’s residence for the time being. It’s a bit embarrassing.

“… … .”

Baekyang’s house felt more rugged than I thought. drawing room… … . Or, to put it mildly, is it similar to the hideout that Lucia had made?

It seems to have been used only as a place to sleep.

“What about your parents?”

“Oh, do you want to say hello to my parents? Isn’t it progressing too fast?”

“… … It’s bullshit. It’s fine if you don’t want to talk.”

The white sheep giggles and plays. To be honest, it was a joke that could be laughed off, but thinking about Eleanor and Arrieta being together in this space puts chills down my spine.

It is uneasy at the point of the two of them living together in the first place.

Arrieta is fine, but I’m afraid of what Eleanor will do.

In Marie’s case, if she stays still, she doesn’t feel much of a presence, so it probably doesn’t matter too much.

“Ah, come to think of it, where did Ula go? I guess I didn’t see it.”

“Miss Ulla is negotiating for the liberation of King Kwon. It’ll be quite a headache, won’t it?”

“Well? I broke my limbs, so maybe it’ll be okay.”

“That’s right too~”

Baekyang replied leisurely, as if it were someone else’s business.

“It would have been nice if I had broken that high nose of the red hawk… … .”

“I know for sure that you two don’t get along.”

Is it ice and fire? Ay, is it really such a simple reason?

“rest of it?”

“Noah-nim and Marie-nim are taking a nap right now, probably tired from walking around.”

Arrieta giggled as if she was having fun. It must have reminded me of the two of them sleeping together.

“No, not even a child… … .”

“It’s because it’s similar. Did your clothes look good too?”

“Was it you who put it on?”

Well, if you think about it, Yang Baek would have guided the federation, so there is no other culprit besides this guy.

I’m sorry non-type.

No, I’m not really sorry.

“Still, did it suit you?”

“yes.”

I did get along.

I was probably willing to buy it if the game sold it as a paid skin.

“The two of you get along well.”

“oh… … . Is that so? hehehe, I don’t know what to do with you complimenting me like that.”

“Are you working on me too? Are you sure you don’t have a conscience?”

It was just a greeting, but the reaction was crueler than expected.

Arrieta wiggled her fingers as if she were embarrassed, as expected, but Baekyang looked as if she had seen someone suspicious.

Can’t I even praise you?

I thought it would be awkward if I didn’t say anything to the two of them, but it’s too much.

I also don’t like this guy.

“Let’s have a meal.”

“What, do you know how to cook?”

“… … Of the two, I would be the most family-friendly.”

“that’s… … . If you calculate it by the method of elimination, it has no choice but to be.”

Eleanor and Marie cooking? Just imagining it is terrifying.

I won’t make the mistake of having them cook or eat the food they made.

If I’m crazy, will I accept the food they give me?

One side doesn’t know what to play with the food, and the other side doesn’t know what to throw into the food.

“Me?”

“… … Arrieta is a precious body, so I think it is best not to participate in such things as much as possible.”

“Oz. I’m not very special. Aren’t you a little disappointed with that kind of treatment?”

“Arrieta. Aren’t we guests? In a situation like this, being still will help.”

“… … I know.”

Arrieta seems a bit disappointed, but she can’t help it.

What kind of food do you cook for a person who can’t see?

Even if it is possible to peel an apple, cooking that goes through multiple processes seems to be dangerous.

I don’t want to face a catastrophe in any sense.

Then the only thing to believe is this lazy goblin… … .

“ha… … .”

Honestly, this one is subtle.

I don’t know what to judge.

First of all, it is similar to Eleanor. But at the same time, there is also the fact that he is a guy who takes care of people well.

“I have a picky appetite, so just know in advance.”

“You’re being cheeky.”

Anyway, just try it tasteless.

I will immediately repay the humiliation you gave me earlier.

* * *

While Arrieta went to wake up the two sleeping people.

With nothing to do, I went to peep at Baekyang. The appearance of Baekyang cooking was quite stable.

If it’s unexpected, it’s unexpected, and if it’s natural, it’s a natural feeling. I don’t think I can repay the humiliation I just suffered.

“If you’re going to be watching that much, why don’t you pick up some of the onions there?”

“Hmm… … .”

The fact that I’m watching doesn’t show any signs of surprise. Well, it’s nothing to be ashamed of.

A guy like Lucia is weird.

Come to think of it, Lucia was embarrassing because she was caught stealing cat cookies.

“Are you making chicken stir-fried soup?”

“… … You know a lot about Federation culture.”

Chicken and Onions. And when I saw red pepper powder and potatoes and other vegetables, it came to my mind. That’s the only thing I know of Federal cuisine that uses chicken.

“Originally, understanding starts with recognizing the differences between cultures.”

Actually, this feels more like home to me… … . I thought it would be cool to say it like this, so that’s okay.

It won’t do much good to show off to this guy, but there’s nothing good about being bad.

Wouldn’t it be best to maintain a proper relationship?

“No, just because I recognized the difference. We cannot understand each other.”

Baekyang was rarely straight.

There was no slurred speech.

There was an expression of anger or sadness in his eyes.

One thing is certain, she regrets something.

Baekyang let out a deep sigh and said.

“No matter how hard I try, the fact that I am a goblin won’t change. And the prejudices that come from there.”

In this world, racial hatred is implicitly entrenched.

Lucia said the same thing. And even when he told me his complaints about him, he never got angry.

She knows too.

The fact that the words treated with that hate seem obvious and universal to us.

I don’t know how to solve this problem. It was a problem that could not be solved even in the world I was in.

You can’t do anything other than just try.

I can understand Baekyang’s words.

Didn’t I also expect her to play a joke on the fact that she’s a goblin?

It is difficult to even recognize the ‘recognition’ that is deeply rooted in society.

“Do you really think so?”

However, there is a contradiction in what Baekyang says.

“Then why the hell did you work so hard?”

She has done her best to understand and accept differences.

You don’t have to observe her carefully to know this.

Her actions implicitly showed consideration for the other person.

Even if you just exchange a few words, you can see that she is giving for the other person unexpectedly, unlike the way she speaks.

She clearly recognizes that each other is different and acts accordingly.

“But who knows? You? under… … ! Even right now, just because I’m a goblin, I’m here to keep an eye on whether I’m joking around?”

“It wasn’t really surveillance.”

“But I also doubted myself. Because I am a goblin.”

“… … .”

I have nothing to say.

Because it was exactly what she said.

I was prejudiced by the fact that she was a goblin.

As always. Even though they know how scary and dangerous prejudice is, they repeat the same mistakes.

I know it’s that hard and it’s hard to perceive.

I just knew.

“I am. I tried. I lived my life suppressing my instincts as much as possible. But other people don’t. Even if I try hard, the whole perception of goblins won’t change.”

Baek Yang expressed his dissatisfaction to a degree that was hard to imagine with his usual attitude.

It seemed that he wanted to give up rather than being passionate.

“And how many people do you think will understand me just because I work hard?”

Probably only Eleanor or Marie so far.

Eleanor is that kind of person in the first place, and Marie doesn’t recognize that difference in the first place.

For better or for worse, there were people who understood her.

Of course, there were people who didn’t. There must have been someone who distanced herself from her just because she was a goblin.

And worse than that.

“sorry… … .”

A person who doesn’t shy away from her, yet reveals her prejudice as it is. Showing some stupid consideration.

yes someone like me

I was the one who pushed her the most. I can understand why she hates me.

It wasn’t just the simple reason that violence was committed during practice.

It comes from my attitude that is revealed in the middle of the day.

“onion.”

“uh… … ?”

“Give me the onion.”

“Oh, uh, yes. I forgot.”

Baek Yang was staring at me with sullen eyes and asking for the onion I was holding in my hand.

It makes me wonder if what just happened was an illusion.

But my eyes see no illusions. If so, it is clear that such an ordinary response is her consideration.

“… … I hope it tastes good. Federal food suits me.”

“huh.”

she tried

I tried but didn’t get a reward.

But I don’t do anything like venting my anger. All I can do is spit out my resentment and die alone.

“white poplar.”

“What else?”

Then why is she trying? Because she told Bihyung to interact with the wide world in her eyes?

No, she couldn’t have worked so hard for just that reason.

It is clear that there was some reason. There must be a reason why she had to do that, and there must have been an opportunity that changed her that way.

There are some things that can be vaguely guessed. But I can’t be sure.

It would be nice if my prediction was correct, but it may not be.

I’ll trust you.

I don’t swear words like that.

It would be much better to show it through actions rather than words.

It was I who was pushing her. I did a bad thing in the middle of the day.

So I will have to try to understand her as much as she tried to understand others.

“I think something fun will happen soon, so you can look forward to it.”

“… … People who say things like that basically get into big trouble.”

“I’m being called a teacher by Noah, but that’s not true, is it?”

“I never said Noah, did I?”

“… … This was prejudice.”

“Well, that’s right, but oh. Actually, you are talking about Noah.”

Baekyang chuckled.

The goblin’s prank.

However, it was a prank for understanding, revealing her consideration to ease the rigid atmosphere.

* * *

A road covered in thick fog.

A human figure appeared from Samdocheon.

“Wow… … . I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve been outside… … .”

So-yeon, who appeared in ＜Goblin Forest＞ using Samdocheon, smiled at the moon floating in the sky.

It happened as a boy I met on the street once said.

It felt like we could meet again through something other than really lost.

“Ah, this is not the time… … . If I don’t go to see Bi-hyung first… … .”

Even the light fog that had covered the moon until now has lifted.

It was the moment when the girl who had been walking under the moonlight set foot in the world again.
