The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

”Now that you mention it, I ’ve seen it too, ” Lumilia said to him as she looked at Souta ’s waist trying to look at the sword that he always brought with him.
But she found that his sword wasn ’t on his waist.

’Hmm…? Bryan and Lumilia didn ’t know that [Vajra Sword Saya] is a dark grade weapon.
It must be because they haven ’t seen the activation of dark grade weapon in their entire life.
But those people… ’ Souta thought as he rubbed his chin.

Ursus and the city lord weren ’t going to make a mistake by thinking that it was just an ordinary sword.
They must have watched the battle from a certain distance.
They must have recognized the power of the dark grade weapon that even Gregory recognized as a national grade weapon.

So why would those two…

’Someone is manipulating it from behind the scenes. ’ Saya ’s voice sounded in his mind.

’I guess it too, but who would manipulate it.
Is it the person who secretly killed Gregory? ’ Souta has many questions in his mind but he knew that he couldn ’t found an answer to it by thinking it through.

By the time that he snapped out of his thoughts, he found that the meal was already ready in front of him.

He looked around and saw that Lynn, Lumilia, and the rest were looking at him.

”Okay, thanks for the food. ” Souta smiled and said.
He then picked up the spoon and fork.
”Let ’s dig in. ”

Everyone smiled at this and they also began to eat their food.
They eat their meal happily while chatting.
The atmosphere was bright and sunny that it made everyone put a smile on their face.

Nayi noticed that Lynn kept glancing at Souta.
She smiled and looked at Souta.

”Hey, Souta? ”

”Hmm…? ” Souta turned to look at her and he slightly tilted his head.

”How is the food that Lynn cook? Is it delicious? ” Nayo asked him a question about food.

”N-Nayo! ” Lynn was surprised.
She grabbed Nayo ’s hand trying to stop her but Nayo didn ’t let Lynn stop her.

”Tell me your thoughts about it? ” Nayo asked.

”Hmm…
It ’s delicious.
Better than what Souta made. ” Bryan was the one who answered her question.

”I ’m not asking you! I ’m asking Souta! ” Nayo looked at Bryan and said in a loud voice.

”Why did it have to be Souta?! ” Bryan asked with a confused expression.

”You have to think it for yourself.
Sometimes it ’s not bad to exercise your brain. ” Nayo said as she pointed at Bryan ’s head.

”What are you saying? I ’m always using my brain in class so why should I use it when I ’m relaxing! ” Bryan said in a loud voice.

”What the hell?!! You ’re really an… ” Nayo was speechless when she heard his words.
It ’s not just her, everyone was dumbfounded when they heard Bryan.

”Hehe, Brother Bryan is an idiot. ” Cluster giggled lightly in a cute way.

”What?! Why? ” Bryan looked at everyone.

Souta glanced at them and sighed.
He slowly opened his mouth.
”Well, it ’s good just like what Bryan said. ”

”I-I ’m glad that you like it. ” Lynn sighed in relief as she placed her hand on her chest.

”See, I told you. ” Nayo looked at her and said with a smile.

”Thank you, Nayo. ” Lynn thanked her friend.

”If it ’s for my friend.
I ’ll do it. ” Nayo said as a matter of fact.

Souta looked at them and smiled.
”Stop chatting, let ’s finish our food first. ”

”Souta is right. ” Bryan nodded and he dug his meal.

After a few minutes, all of them finished eating their food.

”Ho~ that was good. ” Souta exhaled as he patted his stomach.

”Yeah, it was good. ” Bryan nodded in agreement while patting his stomach.

Lynn stood up and said, ”I ’ll do the chores. ”

Souta looked at her and shook his head.
”You don ’t need to.
I can do that later. ”

”N-No, I ’ll do it, ” Lynn said to him as she gripped the hem of her skirt.

Souta looked at her and sighed.
He shrugged his shoulder and said, ”You ’re stubborn…
Well, if that ’s what you want I ’m not going to stop you. ”

”T-Thank you. ” Lynn bowed her head and she picked up the plates.

”I ’ll help you. ” Lumilia stood up and said.

Souta glanced at Lynn and he heard a voice in his head.

’You ’re not that dense to not notice it.
I ’m sure that you know that girl have feelings for you. ’

”I know, ” Souta said as he looked at the ceiling.
