Chapter 32: Back to the Goblin Village
After being completely drained, I felt it was time to move. I didn’t want us returning at night, putting everyone at risk.
"Thank you so much, Nara, the food was excellent as always."
"It’s my pleasure to serve you, Hero Jax. If you’d like any special dish, don’t hesitate to tell me so I can prepare it for you."
"It would be an honor for me. I’ll try to hunt something different these days for us to eat. Truly delicious. I’ll take my leave now."
This great beauty with pink hair spoke so sweetly it made me want to eat her up.
I turned to leave when little Seraph, Karely’s oldest daughter, approached.
"Leader Jax, may I ask you something?"
"Of course, little one. Tell me how I can help you."
"You see... I’m not a child anymore. I just came of age in the village, but my mom wouldn’t let me enlist in the squad you formed. My dream has always been to taste all the flavors of the world, and here, cooped up, it’ll be impossible to achieve. That’s why I wanted to join you on your expeditions. I can be your cook on long journeys and help carry provisions. I might not look it, but I’m very strong."
"Mmmm... I understand your point, and I’d love for you to join us. In the future, we’ll be out for several full days, and food is always a big problem. But ultimately, this decision is only yours as a family. You can enlist, I won’t stop you, but first, you should let me talk to your mother. I’ll try to convince her so you don’t have any trouble."
