The Crown Prince Who Raises a Side Character

Blanca made a quick decision.

"Let’s head back."

Bern turned his gaze toward her.

"Why?"

"If they’re using stolen human clothes as mere makeshift sacks, it means they’ve secured a large quantity of clothing. And the only way wild goblins could obtain that much human clothing is by raiding villages. On top of that, they’ve managed to replicate ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) some semblance of human attire and even craft weapons. That means their group is much larger than we initially thought."

Goblins had the intelligence of human children.

But even children could form societies and learn new skills.

They didn’t have the capacity to sustain an advanced civilization like humans, but even a crude imitation could be dangerous.

"This isn’t something two adventurers can handle. We need to report the situation to the guild, mobilize the local lords to send troops, or gather a large number of adventurers for a proper extermination."

Blanca’s reasoning was sound—at least, by her standards.

However, Bern looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Do you think that will work?"
