The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak-Novel

Chapter 110 - If you have any problem just ask me

Souta could feel the difference of level 10 [Shadow Bind] spell. He could control these shadows like a part of his body.

Really, what a strange setting. There’s no function like this in the game.

He clenched his fist and canceled the spell. The floor turned back to normal and the shadows dissipated into thin air.

Souta stood up and picked up the bag that he always brought in his adventurer’s quest.

He reached out his hand towards the potions and pick the bottle with orange liquid. This was the monster potion that he acquired in the underground base when he was trying to get the [Vajra Sword Saya].

He lifted it up and observed it before he placed it inside his bag. He was already a Rank D Adventurer so he would start taking difficult quests, and perhaps there’s a situation that he couldn’t handle with his current strength like before when the assassin came to kill Lumilia. He needed to bring this to him all the time in case something bad happened.

Souta also placed middle-level health potion and middle-level mana potion in his bag. With his current health and mana, it would require his this level of potion to recover a large amount of his mana and health.

The only thing he needed right now was the potion that could recover his stamina. Unfortunately, that type of potion was pretty hard to acquire even at this large kingdom.

Suddenly, an idea came into his mind. Souta recalled that Jimmy was an influential merchant. He had a lot of connections across the whole kingdom and the neighboring countries. If it’s Jimmy, Jimmy could acquire it for him. Souta just needed to invest a large amount of money in this.

"Well, that’s not a problem for me," Souta muttered as he rubbed his chin.

...

Souta exited the room and went to his room on the second floor. He picked up a pair of gloves there and changed the gloves that he was wearing.

He fought several battles this day and his gloves were in tottered. Also, the glove on his left hand was gone. The only thing that was covering his hand was the bandage that he wrapped.

He went outside the room and bought drinks for Lumilia and Cl.u.s.ter. He saw that Cl.u.s.ter was sleeping on Yuko’s soft and fluffy fur.

"When did Yuko let her sleep on her like that?" Souta wondered when he saw this scene. He only knew that when he brought Cl.u.s.ter here in his house, she was only playing with Yuko.

He smiled and he approached Lumilia. He reached out his hand that was holding a glass of fruit juice to her.

"Here."

"Thanks." Lumilia received the glass of fruit juice. She looked at Cl.u.s.ter with gentle expression.

"She fell asleep, huh?" Souta muttered in a low voice.

"Yeah, she’s tired after what happened this day. She’s just a child yet so many things have happened to her." Lumilia said with a somewhat sad expression.

"Hmm..." Souta glanced at Lumilia before he asked, "Then, do you want to find her parents? But I’ll say something first. If we started to look for Cl.u.s.ter’s family, we naturally would get the attention of the group that targeted her. So if you choose that path be prepared for the worse scenario."

"Um..." Lumilia didn’t know what choice to choose. She wanted to help Cl.u.s.ter find her family but it would gather the attention of the organization that was after her. She didn’t have enough information to know the name of that organization and their hideout.

"You know it’s not easy to fight that organization. Even my strength right now isn’t enough. Also, even if you reported it to the city guards, we wouldn’t get their help because we don’t have any evidence or proof." Souta paused for a moment before he added, "That’s why you don’t need to worry about her right now. Just keep on training until you acquired enough strength. Well, if you’re in the top ranker you can go in that organization’s hideout anytime you wanted because the top ranker was protected by the institute. Unfortunately, we don’t know where their hideout."

Lumilia lowered her head and gazed on the ground. She was digesting everything that he said.

"Ah, I forgot to tell you one thing," Souta said as he looked up in the sky. The sky was slowly getting dark and the wind was getting chilly.

Lumilia tilted her head as she looked at him while waiting for what he was about to say. She wondered what’s he’s going to say to her.

"Those people before weren’t after Cl.u.s.ter. They were after you so be careful. I advise you to keep looking at your surroundings and report it if you found strange people." Souta said with a serious expression.

"Why...?" Lumilia was stunned when she heard that those people were after her, not Cl.u.s.ter.

"That man before was the knight I fought in the Desolate Woods. He also survived that calamity and came here for revenge." Souta paused for a moment then he glanced at Lumilia. "Well, since you’re noble, he thought that we are your subordinates. So be careful there may be more of them."

Lumilia looked down as there’s a lot of things that in her mind. Her problem in her family and now this assassination.

While she was thinking about things she heard Souta’s voice.

"Don’t worry about it. If you have any problem just ask me and I will help you with everything I’ve got. Just ask me sincerely and I will do it for you."

She lifted up her head and saw Souta’s retreating figure. She tightened her grip on the glass of fruit juice and muttered, "Thank you..."

After two hours, Souta woke up Bryan and Brando who were sleeping in his house.

"It’s already dark. You can go back to your house now." Souta said in a loud voice.

Lumilia and Cl.u.s.ter were behind him watching him woke up the two.

"Ah, five more minutes..." Bryan muttered as he used the blanket to covered his head.

Souta sighed when he saw this he reached out his hand and grabbed Bryan’s wounds. He gripped it tightly so that Bryan would feel the intense pain.

"Ouch!!" Bryan cried out in pain as he jumped off the bed.

"Okay, next is Brando..." Souta said.

Brandon was easy to wake up. He wasn’t Bryan that wanted to stay here to rest.

Bryan and Brando went to their home, while Souta walked Lumilia and Cl.u.s.ter to Lumilia’s apartment. He was worried that some people would attack once again.

"Thank you." Lumilia thanked him as she slightly bowed her head.

"Don’t worry about it. Remember my words before. If you have any problem just ask me." Souta shook his head and said to her. He then looked at Cl.u.s.ter and patted her head. "Be a good girl, alright?"

"Yes, I’ll listen to Sister Mila." Cl.u.s.ter nodded her head.

"Good." Souta looked at Lumilia and said, "I’ll go now."

"Yes, thank you," Lumilia said.

...

Souta woke up early in the morning. He pushed himself into a seated position and looked outside through the window.

He stood up and went to the bathroom to wash his face. After that, he went downstairs and prepared breakfast for him and Yuko.

"Hmm... I will start accepting those difficult quests."

He muttered while cooking fried egg and fried rice. He was already a Rank D Adventurer so he would start accepting those difficult Rank D Quest that will give him 1 skill point per quest.

With his current rank, that’s the maximum skill point he could get from Rank D Quest. It will be a different matter if it was a Rank C and above quest.

He had breakfast with Yuko before he departed and head straight to Ladro Institute.

...

Inside the institute, Souta found that a lot of students were glancing at him from time to time.

He went to the cafeteria and bought a coffee before he went to his classroom. He found that Alice and Bryan were already in their seat.

Souta entered the classroom with coffee in his hand. "Good morning, class rep!" He greeted Lumilia and he walked towards his seat.

"Ah, good morning Souta." Lumilia greeted back.

Souta placed the coffee in his hand on top of his desk before he sat down. He looked at Bryan and saw that he was sleeping soundly. Then, he turned his head to Alice and asked, "What’s wrong with our class?"

The class went silent ever since he arrived here. They were all looking at him, Bryan, and at Lumilia.

"There are rumors about you fighting some assassin yesterday after class," Alice replied to him. It seems that she was listening to the class.

"Yeah, that’s true. Those assassins are strong. I couldn’t even defeat them on my own." Souta said to her before he took a sip of his coffee.

Lynn who was beside Lumilia looked at Souta with a concerned look on her face.

"See? I already said that Souta is fine." Lumilia said to Lynn in a low voice.

"I really was worried about him. Ah, Mila why are you together with him yesterday?" Lynn asked. She recalled that Souta and Lumilia were together from the rumors that she heard. Also, they were in a restaurant...

"Eh... Um..." Lumilia was surprised at her question.
