Chapter Title: Na Cho Mu: Dani Madam Kidnapped?!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Grinning, I stretched my body.
Something felt refreshingly good.
It almost made me think I had a talent for rape.
I shook my head with a sigh.
'No, it's a talent for pure love. Rape? Not even close.'
I'd just had the wrong thought for a moment.
Chuckling, I looked down at Rohi.
I could see her timidly getting to her feet.
I approached and gently stroked her wings.
She flinched in surprise.
"Eek!"
"Rohi, since things have turned out this way, why don't you stick with me? What do you say?"
"Pardon? What do you...?"
"I told you I came here to hunt goblins. Fly overhead and keep an eye out for any others."
"Oh, right. Now that you mention it, they were swarming around more than usual today."
Sure enough, just as I thought.
Those punks weren't even a gang, but they always moved in packs.
But why were they grouping up like that?
Were resources abundant in this forest?
Maybe preparing to fight the soldiers?
Even so, none were visible around here right now.
"Let's go."
"Yes!"
At least compared to Kerry, Rohi seemed obedient enough. That was a relief.
I glanced at her status window.

〖Rohi〗
💨 Skills Held:Wind Mastery
✨ Notes:Now a Harpy Queen bound to someone. Her senses remain sharp and keen.
Oh? The description changed.
She really had submitted.
Not in a bad way, though?
The more I looked, the more fascinating my life seemed.
'Heh, fascinating. Good thing I have Aphrodisiac Semen. A little guy like me needs something like this.'
I wandered through the forest here and there.
I looked up.
Rohi was flying freely, turning her head this way and that.
We kept moving, but it didn't seem like we were finding anything.
'What is it, exactly?'
I pressed on a bit further.
Rohi flew off somewhere and vanished from sight.
I turned my head and froze.
A particularly strong-looking goblin was in view.
"Brothers, move! Speed is life!"
"Kieeeek!"
A whole pack of goblins was moving in a completely unexpected place.
But they were down in a ravine, making it tricky to engage.
And that one was speaking human language?
Plus, it was huge.
'It's even pushing back the soldiers who are fighting?'
They were on the verge of total annihilation.
Finally, one of the soldiers shouted.
"Run! Back to the territory!"
Watching the soldiers retreat, the goblins went even wilder.
Clicking my tongue, I headed that way.
Might as well take them out while I'm at it.
'Too far to do much. First, find a path. This spot looks good.'
I licked my lips and grinned.
I eyed the strongest-looking goblin. Probably the chieftain.
I wanted to target him.
'Kill him, and the rest are just a rabble!'
Grinning at the thought of proving myself again.
I spotted a soldier collapsed nearby.
He was covered in blood, breathing irregularly.
What the hell? I rushed over.
"Hey, you okay?"
"Ugh... h-hurry... kuhk!"
"Get up first."
"Adventurer! No, I'm done for. Go to the territory... please."
"Huh?"
"Grk."
The soldier let out a hollow gasp and stopped breathing.
What the hell happened?
Things were fine just a moment ago.
I was flustered.
"Master!"
A voice came from above.
Rohi had returned.
"Rohi, where were you—"
"I just checked. Goblins have invaded human territory!"
"What? How?"
I was shocked.
I'd just seen the chieftain moments ago.
Goblins invading the territory?
I racked my brain and realized it was possible.
'They got there already?!'
Horrified, I jumped up.
Instinctively, I bolted toward the territory.
A hollow laugh escaped me.
This was ridiculous.
'Highly trained goblins split into multiple units under the chieftain's orders for mobile warfare or flanking maneuvers to strike from behind. But these goblins doing that?!'
I was stunned.
These goblins here seemed way better trained than I'd imagined.
Why?
Because of that chieftain from earlier?
And if they were targeting the territory...
'Some must have already gotten inside. They're like ants!'
My teeth ground together involuntarily.
I looked up at the sky and shouted.
"Rohi!"
"Yes?"
"Secure a view from the air! We're heading to the territory!"
"Into human territory?!"
"It's urgent! Check how many goblins are in the territory!"
"Got it!"
I ran with everything I had.
The wind whistled sharply in my ears.
Even though I was sprinting faster than anyone,
anxiety made my heart pound irregularly.
'Anything but this—I need Dani Madam to be safe. Please!'
Soon, I passed the lake, and the territory came into view.
Goblins were swarming everywhere.
"Crazy!"
They were teaming up to bash the barricade with a siege weapon made from a trimmed log.
The soldiers atop the barricade were shooting arrows in response—that was it.
It didn't look like it'd break easily, but...
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a thick brown mist spread out.
Protecting the goblins like a shield.
The soldiers' ranged attacks missed as if by magic.
What the hell was that?
"Master!"
I looked up.
Rohi was circling in the sky, pointing to one spot.
"One side of the human territory's barricade is breached!"
"What? How?!"
"Looks like they dug a tunnel. I can see goblins heading back into the forest with women and food now!"
"This is insane. Come down right now—wait, no."
I turned my head first.
The direction Rohi pointed was blocked by a hill and the lake.
Too late to run there now.
I ordered Rohi.
"Rohi, grab me and fly."
"Pardon?"
"Hurry!"
I needed to see for myself.
Rohi descended cautiously.
Her talons gripped my shoulders firmly as she lifted off lightly.
First time flying, but it felt strangely natural.
Looking up, I had a clear view of Rohi's plump ass and crotch.
Scanning around, I spotted something.
'What the hell is that?'
A goblin in strange feathered garb was carrying Daniela over its shoulder.
My vision flipped.
Gnashing my teeth, I shouted.
"Rohi, head that way! Hurry!"
"Yes!"
We flew at top speed.
The breeze felt exhilarating, but my mood was foul.
Daring to touch my Dani Madam!
"Listen up. Drop me off over there, then take out the goblins at the barricade."
"That goblin looks strong."
"It's fine. I'll win."
I showed confidence.
My life had always been running away, cowering in corners.
I declared it would be different now.
Rohi dropped me to the ground.
The feathered goblin, carrying Daniela slung over its shoulder, stopped short as I blocked its path.
"Ki, kie?"
"Then die."
⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡
Wind Mastery – Savage Whistle
I swung Almas sheathed.
A whoosh of wind pierced the goblin's empty shoulder.
"Kyaak!"
"One more!"
I unleashed another.
Mana was draining fast, but I ignored it.
I had to save Madam first.
The goblin flinched and spread its hands.

Whoosh!
It was that thing from before.
A thick brown mist suddenly erupted around the goblin.
My ranged winds kept missing from afar.
'What? Same as before. What ability is that? I'm aiming right, but it won't hit?'
Clicking my tongue, I checked its status.
I was shocked.

〖Goblin Shaman〗
💨 Skills Held:Dark Mist
✨ Notes:A being wielding primitive sorcery empowered by the tribal god Machapuco. Greatly aided by the goblin chieftain.
'Not the chieftain? Makes sense—he couldn't be here already.'
Instinct kicked in, and I charged.
If it deflects all ranged attacks,
what about close range?
I tackled the shaman head-on.
"Gyaak!"
Daniela was moments from hitting the ground.
I caught her and carried her under a nearby tree.
"Ugh... ugh."
"Dani, you with me?"
"Ah... goblins... in the territory. I... was protecting the villagers and lost consciousness."
"Rest for now."
I drew Almas from its sheath.
Approaching the shaman.
"Kie? Kiekiek!"
"Whatever trick this is, die."
I froze its upper body.
The shaman's movements slowed.
I could see its eyes trembling.
Kicking off the ground, I charged.
I questioned the burning emotion in my chest.
What was this?
Simple battle lust?
'No. It's a form of vengeance. Mixed with rage.'
A feeling I'd never experienced before.
Still, I wanted to claim it as my own.
If it gave me strength!
"Hah!"
It had targeted Daniela, a precious woman to me.
That alone made it worthy of death.
Thud, taat!
I kicked the ground repeatedly.
The shaman chanted something at me,
but I ignored it.
My body would be faster than its mouth.
While running, I grabbed a flying pebble and hurled it.

The mist spread again.
The pebble flew off course.
Now I got it.
'That spell deflects ranged attacks.'
I plunged into the mist willingly.
Aside from an unpleasant tingle on my skin, no harm.
I targeted the half-frozen shaman's neck.
Swinging Almas,
I arced it across the shaman's throat.

This guy was tough, huh.
Nice mileage payout.
'Save it for new app features later. Wonder how fun they'll be?'

['Goblin Shaman' defeated!]
['Dark Mist' absorbed!]
I looked back at the shaman's headless corpse.
It collapsed limply to the ground.
The mist finally cleared.
I checked the description.
⚔ SKILL: DARK MIST ⚔
Obscures vision, ignoring all ranged attacks directed into the deployed area.
※ 40 MP per activation
Mana cost was high,
but it seemed incredibly useful.
I returned to Daniela.
Catching my breath, I asked.
"Dani Madam, you okay? Any injuries?"
"I'm fine, sob. Thank you, Cheon-je! I'll repay you for sure."
"Heh, it's nothing."
Dani Madam spoke with difficulty.
Still shaken, her body trembled.
I supported her as best I could, trying to lift her.
"The goblins appeared out of nowhere, sob. Most soldiers were out on maneuvers, ugh, the few left were in chaos."
She sniffled.
I shook my head and hugged her.
Her scent was intoxicating.
Her irresistible massive breasts pressed against my chest.
Still, I comforted her earnestly.
"It's okay. You're safe now."
Suddenly, a whoosh cut the air.
Reflexively, I activated the skill.

[Dark Mist]
Pahak!
I turned.
A few goblins heading to the forest had thrown daggers and bombs at us.
Those bastards.
I wanted to charge them, but protecting Madam came first.
"Let's head back to the territory first, Cheon-je."
"Got it."
"Thank you, my adventurer."
She wiped her tears, smiling warmly.
I scooped her up princess-style. Dani Madam yelped in surprise.
"Oh my!"
"Gotta hurry."
I sprinted toward the territory with all my might.
As fast as possible, while minimizing the jolts for Dani Madam.
A shadow passed overhead.
Rohi was grinning, heading to the ravine.
'Mission complete, huh.'
The checkpoint was mostly intact.
Entering the territory, corpses and wrecked carriages littered the area.
The closer to the mansion, the worse it got.
"S-set me down here. Ah."
"Oh, sorry!"
I entered the mansion with her.
Going further, I stopped in shock.
She looked speechless.
I was too.
