The Hero Party’s Moms Are Obsessed With Me

The forest that entered on an ambitious night without any intention of mine.

The darkness within a narrow range disappeared as the torch in my right hand swayed gently.

Taking a deep breath in a situation where monsters could jump out at any moment, I did not let go of my tension.

After shielding the front with a shield and glancing behind, I saw three people following casually.

I, holding a torch that illuminates with a horn, and the three people adorned with various magical tools.

My forehead wrinkled involuntarily at the clear disparity between them.

“If you’re going to play hardcore, at least give me some support!”

What’s with the [The harder it is, the faster you grow, young master] thing?!

I might just die from rolling around!

Although I looked at the three people with a tired expression,

“Elli, isn’t it still too difficult for a child? You’re only fifteen.”

The moment Olivia fell for my false expression.

“I am also suffering as much as you, Your Highness. But trusting and waiting for you is also a parent’s role.”

“Is that so…”

“And in case of emergencies, we also have Largeta. So don’t worry too much, alright?”

“Okay.”

Elli persuaded Olivia using various tricks.

I sighed deeply, feeling that to act any longer would be a waste of time. Relying on a torch that could go out at any moment, I pierced through the forest at night…

Even though it had been 30 minutes since entering the forest, and not encountering any wild animals, let alone monsters, I considered myself lucky.

And that thought lasted until the 31st minute.

– Growl.

The sound of a howl, believed to be from a wolf, pierced my ears, and my nerves shattered into pieces.

If it were morning and there was plenty of space around, dealing with a wolf wouldn’t be a big deal.

With my strength increased tenfold and the agility I had honed for years, I could handle it.

But.

“Darn it, I can’t hold a sword with my hand!”

In my left hand, I held a shield, and in my right hand, a treasured torch that served as both my eyes and weapon.

Furthermore, the overgrown weeds hindered my movement and blocked my sight, making the situation even more insane.

I’m not fully armed~

The battlefield is a mess~

Even though I had encountered a wolf, I felt a greater tension than in battles with goblins.

As I swallowed my dry saliva, crackle. Crackle. The sound of stepping on grass got closer.

When I shook the torch to catch a glimpse of the creature, the sound of footsteps vanished completely.

And then.

“Why is my brother coming from there?!”

– Kishat!!

A goblin riding a wolf thrust a long spear at me.

I thought it was just a wolf, but it’s a wolf rider!

I managed to block his attack with my shield, albeit in confusion.

If he were a regular goblin, even if his spear attack failed, he wouldn’t be able to retreat far due to his short legs.

But thanks to the mobility of the wolf, he had already disappeared from the range of my torch.

It’s a really dangerous situation, but I guess it’s fortunate that the guy is alone.

Snap!

“?!”

I thought it was a set because there was clearly no sound.

But this time, a goblin with a sword jumped out from a different direction, not the direction where the guy disappeared, and sliced through my shoulder as he passed by.

“Damn it! It’s not just one person!!”

I felt a sharp pain on my shoulder and looked back.

“Aga! Fighting!”

“My lord! You can handle this!”

“Di-am~ I’ll be fine if I think about it~”

“For God’s sake!!”

The three of them had no intention of helping.

A goblin with a spear, who hid his body for a moment while looking for support, appeared again and thrust his spear towards my head.

I managed to avoid it, but I ended up with a long cut on my cheek from the failed evasion.

With a tingling sensation, hot liquid flowed down my cheek.

“Damn it!! I told you to leave it to me!!”

I made a vow that I wouldn’t sleep in the same bed as anyone tonight and prepared for battle.

The opponent is a goblin riding a wolf.

Confirmed by the eyes: a spear and a sword. Two sets.

While trying to organize my thoughts, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me as if someone was running.

I quickly reacted and illuminated the area with a torch, revealing the guy’s exact appearance.

– Growl!!

Saliva dripped from his yellow teeth in his wide-open mouth.

A rusty sword stained with what seemed to be my blood.

And the huge wolf carrying that goblin on its back.

Finally.

“There it is!”

From Noble mtl dot com

The goblin’s belt that keeps him from falling off the wolf’s back.

If it were my usual self, I would have used [Shut Up and Open Up] to disarm the guy.

But now, what’s more important is to block his attack.

‘Taking away their mobility!!’

After blocking the enemy’s attack with their shield, they untied the enemy’s belt as planned.

Without stopping there, they stabbed a torch towards the wolf trying to escape, causing the wolf to turn their body to the side in panic, jumping.

If there had been a belt tightly holding their body, the goblin would have also landed safely.

– Kreak?!

The goblin flew through the air with the wolf’s passionate body movement, landing on the ground with a thud.

The wolf, also losing their balance, stumbled on the ground a few times as their strength adjustment went wrong.

Not missing the opportunity they had barely created, they approached the fallen goblin.

– Kyaack!

Being unable to dodge the hidden spear attack from the goblin, they had to move their body backwards.

‘Damn it! This is why there’s no business with Danguri around!!’

As they stepped back, the wolf, who had regained their senses, threw the goblin’s clothes, which the goblin was murmuring about on the ground, into the sky and lifted them onto their back.

‘What kind of monster likes these kinds of combinations?!’

Distracted by the ridiculous situation, they were suddenly attacked by a spear.

‘Take this, you idiot!’

This time, instead of blocking the spear with their shield, they narrowly avoided it to the side and seized the spear’s handle.

And just like before, they untied the belt.

– Kyarack?

Kudangtang!

– Kkaegaeng?!

The wolf was sent flying like a bullet, but the goblin fell right in front of me.

With a crackling sound, I stuffed the goblin’s mouth wide open, which had opened from the pain caused by the torch spitting hot sparks.

– Krelek! Krararack!!

They seemed to be enjoying it as if pouring alcohol on a wound.

– Krung!

As the wolf hastily returned to its owner’s side, the shield blocked its front paw.

‘Ah ha! It would be troublesome if you disturb the treatment, guest!’

The wolf pondered if there was anything else they could open separately, and then simply opened their bladder wide.

The goblin screamed in pain, trembling and rolling their body.

The wolf ran around, urinating everywhere.

The fantastic scene temporarily paralyzed the spear goblin, as though stunned by the surprise attack.

Now, all that remained were a goblin with its wits about it and two wolves.

“It might take some time, but we can win!”

Not with the dazzling swordsmanship of a hero.

Rather, they fought with dirty, relentless tactics, but they could win.

As they tried to calm their excitement and refocus on the battlefield, an arrow flew at me so fast that I could barely register it.

Pwip! Swish!

– Kirek!!

– Kkaegeng!

It pierced through the remaining goblin and the two wolves.

An unusual sniping skill heightened the tension even further, and as I shielded myself, Ellie finally approached, drawing her sword.

She didn’t care about fighting goblins, but in such a dire situation, Ellie jumped in to protect me.

“Darn, is this a game of push and pull?”

She had climbed onto the bed I had tried to hog all to myself.

“Who are you? Identify yourself!”

As Ellie shouted and reached out her hand, a blinding light, unlike a torch, illuminated the forest.

Revealing their appearance in that light.

“An Elf?”

A male elf stood with his bow aimed at us.

With a sharp glare, the elf scrutinized us.

“Human, what are you doing here?”

Um… just some hardcore involuntary training?

“I was wandering the forest in search of a dungeon.”

“A dungeon… doesn’t seem like a lie.”

The elf might have some unique abilities, as he loosened the tension in his drawn bow.

When he dropped his hostile stance, Ellie also lowered her sword.

“Elf! There’s something I want to ask you!”

“Sorry, but contact with humans is forbidden by the chieftain’s orders. You should also stop wandering around the forest and go back. This is not a request but a warning.”

With those words, the elf swiftly leaped through the trees and distanced himself.

“If it’s the chief’s command…”

“It’s Eljeta, isn’t it?”

Lageta and Olivia, who were behind me, approached as if they were waiting, each grabbing one of my arms.

“Yes. But I remember Eljeta Chief always pursued a friendly relationship with humans…”

“Seems like something happened with the elves.”

Olivia tried to take advantage of this opportunity to ask Lageta, but…

“Of course, it’s Diam~ You caught one, right?”

She only showed interest in me.

As I listened to Lageta’s praise, I looked ahead again.

“This is disappointing…”

Some people had to untie their belts and release the wolf’s bladder just to catch a goblin.

Others would simply shoot arrows from a distance and kill them all.

I smirked, drew a dagger from my waist, finished off the goblin I caught, and then took a trophy.

I extracted a mana stone from its heart, cut off its ear, and put them in a pouch. Then I straightened my bent knees.

There were still the bodies of one goblin and two wolves.

“I didn’t catch them, did I?”

Monster hunting isn’t supposed to be done like how ignorant I am.

A warrior to defend against monster attacks.

An archer as a ranged attacker.

A rogue to lead the battlefield and also serve as a melee attacker.

That’s how a party gathers and goes on a monster hunt.

Monsters are difficult to subdue, and mercenaries stake their lives on claiming ownership.

Right now, it looks fine with goblins, but what if a beginner encounters an orc, or a grade C or B werewolf that is difficult to catch?

The rewards from confiscated assets are staggering, and the fame you gain is significant.

There are no set rules, but everyone implicitly agrees not to interfere with monsters others have caught.

The reason I leave three bodies behind is because of Elly’s education, but it’s also influenced by personal beliefs.

“You have to be cautious with freebies.”

Being blinded by immediate gains and bringing forth unsolvable problems.

That’s what [things for free] are.

I don’t know what others think about it.

Smiling wryly, Elly gently stroked my head as I cleaned up the dirtied dagger.

“From the mindset to the battle itself, you’re impressive, my lord.”

“Elly, what do we do now? The elf said for us to leave.”

“In this situation, it might be a good idea to temporarily withdraw. Your thoughts, my lord? My lord?!”

“Elly, why all of a sudden… my dear?!”

Just as the two of us were casually conversing, they suddenly looked at me and exclaimed in surprise.

Lageta went, “Oh? How interesting!” as she looked at me.

I turned my head, wondering what was going on, but I couldn’t see anything.

“…?”

And as I raised my gaze upwards,

“??”

‘What’s this?’

A translucent greenish entity was floating above my head.
