A crossover anime/manga series, starting with Kaguya's fiancé.

A goblin emerged from a nearby rock wall, shaking its ugly head as it spotted the two people in front of it.

It let out a strange cry, brandished its wooden stick, and charged towards the two of them.

Lynn did not draw his sword, but simply dodged the goblin's attack with ease, while shouting to Haruhime at the same time.

"Now! Haruhime!"

Chunji took a deep breath, gripped the dagger tightly, closed her eyes, and screamed as she charged forward.

"Aaaaaah—!"

Her movements were completely haphazard.

It was less of an attack and more of a wild, indiscriminate swinging of the sword.

The tip of the dagger didn't even touch the goblin's body.

On the contrary, she herself, because she rushed too fast, stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Haruhime! Open your eyes!"

Lynn shouted at Chunji;

"Find out the enemy's location!"

Chunji suddenly opened her eyes;

Unable to attack Lynn, the goblin turned its attention to her, swinging its club toward her head.

"what!"

Chunji was so frightened that her mind went blank, and she stood there frozen, forgetting to dodge.

"clang!"

Lynn reacted quickly, kicking the goblin in the side, causing it to stumble and its attack to veer off course.

But he didn't kill him; he simply lured the goblin back to him.

"Haruhime! Attack its neck! Or its eyes!"

Lynn dodged easily while giving loud instructions.

Chunji saw the look in Lynn's eyes.

That was encouragement.

Fortunately, I had been in charge of extracting magic stones from goblins' bellies, so although I was scared, I wasn't terrified.

Chunji bit her lip and raised the dagger again.

This time, she didn't close her eyes again, but stared intently at the goblin.

She clumsily imitated Lynn's sword-drawing posture, using all her strength to thrust the dagger in her hand.

"Pfft!"

This time, the dagger finally struck its target.

But the location was ridiculously off, and it just pierced into the goblin's fat belly.

"grumble--!"

The goblin screamed in pain and became even more ferocious. It abandoned Lynn and turned to swat at Chun Ji with a claw.

39. Gulnazar Elise

The sharp claws were about to grab Chunji's face.

"Clang!"

A crisp metallic clang rang out.

Lynn's sword, which had been drawn at some point, precisely parried the goblin's claws.

With a flick of his wrist, a black sword light flashed like lightning, instantly cutting through the air.

The raging goblin's head flew high into the air, and its body collapsed limply to the ground.

Lynn sheathed his sword, gently pulled Chunji, who was still standing there in a daze, to her feet, and patted the dust off her clothes.

"You've been very brave."

Chunji shook her head, her voice trembling with tears, "I...I almost..."

“But you didn’t back down, did you?” Lynn’s eyes were gentle yet firm. “You hit it, and that’s a huge step forward.”

Chunji looked up and saw Lynn's encouraging eyes, feeling a warmth in her heart.

She sniffed hard and gripped the dagger in her hand tightly.

"Lord Lynn... please give me another chance, okay?"

Lynn smiled and nodded, "Of course!"

He found another lone goblin, and once again attracted all of the goblin's attention, creating an opportunity for Haruhime.

This time, Chunji's eyes no longer darted away.

She stared intently at the goblin's every move, clumsily dodging its attacks, then mustered her courage...

Use all your strength and thrust the dagger in your hand out fiercely!

"Pfft!"

This time, the dagger pierced the goblin's neck precisely.

The goblin struggled for a moment, then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Haruhime stared blankly at the dead goblin, then at the dagger in her hand.

"I...I did it! Lord Lynn!"

She excitedly threw herself into Lynn's arms, burying her face deeply in his breastplate and rubbing against him.

Everything around seemed to quiet down.

I smelled the reassuring scent on Lynn.

At that moment, Chun Ji felt as if she possessed the whole world.

suddenly,

Haruhime realized that her upper body was completely exposed.

This posture is tantamount to putting everything right under Lynn's nose.

Although... although Lord Lynn can see it.

But I still feel a little ashamed of myself.

Chunji hurriedly let go of his hand, lowered her head, and dared not look into Lin En's eyes.

Lynn was amused by her adorable reaction. He reached out and gently rubbed Chunji's fluffy fox ears.

Why are you shy?

Chunji lowered her head even further, her ears trembling nervously.

"Lord Lynn, that's not what I meant. It's just that I feel really awkward in the dungeon!!!"

"Okay! I was just kidding."

Lynn smiled and continued, "Killing a goblin must have been exhausting, right?"

"Ok!"

Chunji hummed in a voice barely above a whisper.

Lynn patted Chunji on the shoulder; "Then you can rest here for a while. We brought water and emergency food, so you can replenish your strength."

Chunji looked up at Lynn and asked, "And what about you?"

"I still have energy, of course I'll keep swatting these ugly goblins!"

After saying that, Lynn continued to clear out the spawning goblins around him.

[Swallow Return skill proficiency increased, currently at 41%.]

[Swallow Return skill proficiency increased, currently at 42%.]

After scrolling for a while, I felt a bit bored and it was time to take a break.

Lynn asked, "Chunji, how are you? Have you rested well?"

"I've rested well," Chunji nodded repeatedly.

Lynn saw two goblins appear in the distance and decided to increase the difficulty of the training. "Alright, Haruhime, two this time."

One and two are completely different concepts.

Chunji's newly built confidence was instantly overwhelmed again.

Under Lynn's command, she barely managed to fend off an attack from a goblin.

The other one was already swinging a wooden stick, smashing down hard from her side and behind!

Lynn drew his sword just in time to parry the fatal blow, but Chunji was already in disarray and struggling to cope.

The scene was one of Haruhime being chased and beaten by two goblins.

"Whoosh-!"

A sharp whistling sound rang out.

An arrow pierced the head of one of the goblins in an instant, pinning it firmly to the rock face.

Immediately afterwards, two short but incredibly swift figures burst out from around the corner of the passage!

They were two dwarf girls with long, bright red braids, and they looked exactly alike; they were clearly twins.

The dwarf girl on the left, wielding a massive tower shield, slammed into the remaining goblin like an enraged bull. The immense impact caused the goblin to instantly lose its balance.

Just as the goblin leaned back, the dwarf girl on the right leaped high into the air, her battle axe drawing a sharp arc in the air, cleanly cleaving the goblin's head in two.

The entire process was smooth and seamless.

As the goblin fell, a dog-woman wielding a longbow and a human male healer in a white robe emerged from the shadows.
