Chapter 43: The Goddess, Again

[Goblin] Gi Ga
The goblin in that estranged group that was with the protagonist when he defeated an orc. He is currently a noble class, the highest amongst the protagonist's subordinates. He prefers to use the spear.

[Goblin] Gi Gu
The former leader of the village. He was pressured by the protagonist in his goblin noble form, and was added to his subordinates. He uses the long sword, and is relatively smart for a goblin rare. Became a goblin noble in chapter 39.

Known as a beast warrior, a goblin with the ability to tame beasts.
He evolved while hunting spear deer with the protagonist.
He prefers to use the axe. His goblin class is rare.

[Goblin] Gi Go
A goblin with many wounds on his body. The food of his horde was stolen by the gray wolves, so he made a decision to follow the protagonist. He is the most experienced amongst the goblin rares. His weapon is a curved katana. He acts like a samurai.

[Goblin] Gi Za
The druid goblin rare that recently joined them.

[Goblin] Gi Ji
A goblin rare. He evolved in chapter 37 after hunting with Gi Ga.

What spread before me was a familiar scenery I'd once seen before.

"How are you feeling, boy?"

There isn't anyone but that woman (Altesia) who would call me that.

"As of now, the worst, actually."

I need to keep up an abusive tone when dealing with this one.

"You've gotten quite handsome, haven't you?"

Sarcasm?

The goddess of the underworld who narrowed her eyes was being patient.

"And? Are things going well?"

What things?

"That conquest and domination of yours."

You are making progress, right? Or so her smile seemed to say.

On top of the goddess' seductive charm, she also released a contrasting innocent charm. In response, I activated <<Insurgent Will>>

"Yeah, it's going well."

As usual, the goddess had snakes serving her by her feet. She also wore the same pure white toga over her body. And even the demonic statues lined up in the surroundings were exactly as they were before. If this place really is the underworld, well... I have to say it's a lot easier to go in and out than I thought.

The goddess who sat in her throne, emanated a dignified and coercing aura befitting that of the ruler of the underworld.

Was she satisfied with my answer? Or was she not?

Her two golden eyes narrowed themselves into a slit like a snake's. While her white porcelain skin was as usual, beautiful beyond perfection as if a sculptor had, to his soul's exhaustion, carved her body. And she folded her hands together, resting her perfectly sculpted chin over it as she stared at me.
