tl;dr[edit | edit source]
Erin uses the blue fruit cores to get past the rock crab monster. She survives another Goblin encounter and levels up.
Synopsis[edit | edit source]
Erin's POV[edit | edit source]
Erin examines the large blue fruit in her hand. It has more seed core than fruit inside, but it is sweet and delicious. She also discovers that breaking the seed core will release a strong chemical smell. After eating several blue fruits, she devises a plan to get past the rock crab monster using the fruit's seed cores, which proves to be effective. After being hit on the antenna, the giant crab began freaking out, smashing itself with one of its claws and vigorously scraping at the area struck by the seed core.
Later, Erin encounters more Goblins collecting blue fruits. They bare their sharp teeth and advance on her with knives, causing her to flee back to the inn. She frantically closed windows and doors before the Goblins break in and attack her. Initially frightened, Erin's fear turns to anger as she looks at the grinning face full of maliciousness that reminds her of young men from Earth. She fought back, using a wooden chair, and injures multiple Goblins. She grabs a knife that one Goblin drops and scares the remaining ones away. She laughs with relief, despite bleeding onto the inn's floor. As Erin was about to sleep, she is notified that she has leveled up again.
Little Goblin's POV[edit | edit source]
The smallest Goblin that was assigned to collect blue fruits witnesses the seven Goblin warriors unsuccessfully attacking a lone, unarmed human before retreating in defeat. The warriors urge the smaller ones to hurry up, and they return to their cave, hurt and humiliated.
The Goblins have a hierarchical structure, and the only one with a name, the [Chieftain], leads them. Despite being constantly angry, the [Chieftain] is also responsible for imparting skills to the Goblins, such as counting. The littlest Goblin, who had been keeping track of her age, tries to make sense of her world while living a difficult life that often involves scavenging for food. She continues to ponder the encounter with the strange Human, wondering if it would change anything in their lives.
