[Everyone's reactions across worlds]
"Wait, so goblins are that strong?!"
"Look at its movements; it's far more agile than ordinary humans!"
"Finally, I've seen a powerful little goblin. How strong would a big goblin be?!"
All worlds refreshed their understanding of goblins. Fighting a goblin was truly a life-and-death struggle!
Those weak monsters they had ignored were far more nimble than ordinary humans.
If ordinary people faced them, they'd be no match at all!
[Goblin Slayer World]
In a certain cave, the shrieks of goblins echoed one after another.
"Lads, live well..."
"Goblins aren't easy to defeat. You must never hesitate when facing these monsters!"
Goblin Slayer watched Haruhiro and his team's performance with anticipation.
Sooner or later, they would become powerful adventurers!
This goblin's performance might finally let people from all worlds understand just how difficult these supposedly weak monsters were to deal with!
Then, Goblin Slayer drew his dagger and moved through the darkness, continuously harvesting the lives of the little fiends... eleven... twelve... twenty...
Until the last goblin in the cave was slain...
Goblin Slayer wiped the blood from his blade and surveyed the area, checking for any stragglers...
"Mr. Goblin Slayer, we've rescued them..."
The Priestess ran over and looked at the corpses on the ground. She no longer held the fear she once did...
"Yeah... Let's head back."
Goblin Slayer stowed his gear and turned to leave. The cold, damp cave gradually erupted into flames...
[Arifureta World]
"I never imagined goblins could be so agile. Their intelligence doesn't seem low either!"
Nagumo Hajime was shocked. This little goblin had actually displayed such a formidable performance.
Though it was partly due to Haruhiro and his friends' inexperience—this being their first real battle against a monster.
It was a fight where you had to give your all. Either they died, or you did. Letting your guard down meant you were done for.
Perhaps having your memories sealed wasn't always a bad thing—at least you wouldn't be so naive.
If Nagumo Hajime hadn't experienced life-and-death situations himself, he'd probably still be as cowardly as before...
Battle forces people to improve. Haruhiro, Manato... you must become stronger!
[The Wise Man's Grandchild World]
In the village, Shin continued to train his swordsmanship. Watching Haruhiro's battle, his sense of crisis skyrocketed.
"Grandfather! Are there any goblins around here?!"
Merlin tugged at his beard and nodded. Monsters like goblins had extremely high survival rates and could thrive anywhere!
"Then I'm off!"
Shin was brimming with excitement. For some reason, killing goblins felt more satisfying than taking on higher-level monsters these days!
Maybe it was because they were just that ugly!
Goblin: "???"
Excuse me, are you for real?
It wasn't just Shin; adventurers across all worlds suddenly became fervent about hunting goblins.
For a time, countless goblins wailed in despair. Even goblins hiding underground were dug out, meeting gruesome ends...
There were also many brave souls who cleared out goblin caves with a single nuclear blast...
They were merely the lowest-level monsters, yet they received the highest... "courtesy."
[Grimgar World]
"These guys are so weak. It takes them so much effort just to fight one goblin!"
"If it weren't for the priest Manato, they'd have been dead long ago!"
Renji stared sharply at Haruhiro. Why was such a weak thief chosen by the light screen?
If anyone should be chosen, it should be him!
He was the strongest here now, and he would become a hero sooner or later!
He firmly believed this!
The master of this light screen must have made a mistake!
Haruhiro was definitely not as strong as him, neither now nor in the future!
At the Volunteer Soldier Corps office, Director Britney wiped a glass and watched the group with a smile, showing not a trace of disdain but great appreciation.
"Keep it up, rookies. Survive!"
At the cemetery, the group hung their heads, their faces flushed.
Mary: "I'm sorry. I'll practice my archery harder from now on!"
Shihoru: "I won't be afraid anymore. I'll never freeze up and fail to cast magic again!"
Ranta: "Hmph!"
[Screen Continues]
[Under the night sky, Haruhiro woke up on his straw bed to find Manato missing...]
[He got up and walked out of the room. The biting cold wind swept past, making him shiver...]
[He found Manato around the corner, and the two went to sit quietly by the pool...]
[Their ability to persevere until now was largely thanks to Manato, who had done so much for everyone...]
[The next day, everyone received their pay and could finally afford some daily necessities...]
[Screen Continues]
[Konosuba World]
"Waaaah!!!"
"Hang in there! My fellow isekai comrades!"
Seeing them get their first reward moved Kazuma to tears.
They were just as miserable as he had been. What occupied their minds every day wasn't becoming world-destroying powerhouses, but striving for basic food and shelter!
"These guys really have it rough!"
Aqua hugged a bottle of wine, lying on the sofa and drinking heavily.
"What a pity they don't have a capable and beautiful goddess like me by their side, or they'd have it much easier!"
Aqua was talking nonsense, utterly drunk to the point of bloating.
Kazuma squinted at Aqua sprawled on the sofa and grabbed the bottle!
You wasteful woman!
He wondered if she even remembered the massive debt she still owed.
It seemed she'd forgotten the days they lived in a stable and the terror of being dominated by giant frogs...
Today, he had to make Aqua remember those "happy" times!
[On Screen]
[At night, Ranta called a few friends to take a bath and relax...]
[After all, the moonlight tonight was so beautiful. Even though the moon was red, it couldn't deter Ranta...]
[Haruhiro looked at him, his face twitching, and said speechlessly, "You're really something else..." ]
[Ranta disagreed and was quite proud of himself...]
[Screen Continues]
Mary: "Idiot Ranta! Looks like he didn't get beaten enough!"
Dust (from Konosuba): "Kazuma! Someone's trying to rival you!"
Megumin: "Scumbag Dust! Is he your brother?!"
Darkness: "As a knight, one must not do such things... for... um... definitely come to me..."
Kazuma: "Good brother, if there's a chance, let's discuss life!"
From now on, let's call him Dust, and I'll call myself Kazuma. Both sides can have their own perspectives!
[On Screen]
[The next day, Ranta was beaten black and blue by Mary...]
[But he remained unyielding and refused to admit his mistake!]
[After breakfast, everyone headed into the forest again. After all, the reward from just one goblin wasn't enough to survive on...]
[The rain kept falling, but it couldn't stop them...]
[You had to be fully prepared and know the goblin's routes in advance. Once surrounded, it would be too late...]
[Screen Continues]
Goblin: "I'm weirdly touched. We're finally being taken seriously..."
They never thought there'd come a day when they'd be treated like this...
Perhaps in five or six days, their image would be completely transformed!
They'd no longer be the weak monsters people said were only slightly stronger than slimes!
Goblin Slayer: "That's right. This is the only way to exterminate all the goblins!"
"Try not to hunt them at night. They rest during the day, which is a good time to attack!"
"..."
The elf behind him couldn't help but feel secondhand embarrassment seeing Goblin Slayer explain so seriously.
This guy was more concerned about meeting some kid than the world's destruction...
Life was truly miserable for the goblins in this world, having him on their minds every day...
[On Screen]
[After an unknown amount of time, Manato led everyone to the goblin's habitat...]
[The sleeping goblin was unaware. Ranta pierced its chest with his sword!]
["Gyaaaaaaaah!!"]
[The goblin howled in pain. It truly hadn't expected these humans to have no sense of martial honor!]
[What a cheap shot!]
Squelch—
[Blood sprayed everywhere. The intense pain jolted it fully awake, and it grabbed Ranta's head with a backhand!]
["Don't hold back!"]
[Manato commanded while swinging his staff to knock it away...]
Thud—
[The goblin was struck dizzy by the staff, its head dented by the heavy blow. Before it could react, Ranta slashed at it with his sword...]
[The goblin's life quickly faded until it collapsed helplessly...]
Huff... Huff...
[The two of them panted nervously. Even though this was their second time facing a goblin, fear still gripped their hearts!]
[Immediately after, they continued exploring the ruins, taking down lone goblins one after another...]
[After all, they couldn't handle more than two goblins at once...]
[Through their relentless efforts, they finally got new clothes and improved the quality of their weapons...]
[Under the glow of the red moon, everyone slowly fell asleep, lost in their own thoughts...]
