"We’ll talk magic and sorcery later. For now, let’s clean up the goblins. Tenma, you’ve got six. Leaf, lend him a knife. Tenma, try doing it yourself."

Alf gave the order.
Tenma took the knife Leaf handed him, gripping it in his right hand. With his left, he tugged the goblin’s right ear taut and pressed the blade at the base, where it met the head.

Harder than I thought...

He began to saw back and forth. A sickening resistance met each motion, the gritty texture sending a discomforting sensation up his fingers. After a struggle, he finally severed the ear—the proof of subjugation.

Looking around, he saw Alf working on his second goblin, while Mario was already finishing his fifth. The two of them gripped the ears, slashing with practiced ease. With one clean swing, over half the ear would come off. Then they'd press the blade in and tear away the rest in one fluid motion.

Alf and Mario gathered the severed ears, dragging the goblin corpses into a pile. Tenma mimicked their actions.

"Primordial power, force of purification—manifest before me.『Blaze』!"

Mario’s chant finished, and the pile of goblins erupted in flames. The stench of burning flesh hit them immediately. The fire roared with such intensity that, in just five minutes, the bodies had been reduced to charcoal.

"This is your share, Tenma-kun."

Mario handed him the severed ears. Tenma accepted them and "stored" both those and the ones he had harvested himself.

"Alright, let’s move on. Mario, you drive and teach Tenma a few things along the way. I’ll report to Marney and ride in the back. Pick up the pace a bit—goblins won’t show up this close to town."

With Alf’s instructions, the group moved. Alf and Leaf circled around to the rear of the wagon, while Mario and Tenma climbed up to the driver’s seat.

"Alf, would it be alright if Tenma-kun drove for a bit? I’ll take over when we’re closer to Gomera."

"Fine by me. Do as you like."

"Then it’s settled. Here you go, Tenma-kun."

Mario passed him the reins.

"It’s pretty simple."

Tenma took the reins, and Mario gave a light crack of the whip. The carriage slowly began to roll forward.

"Just keep your eyes on the road, Tenma-kun. I’ll be doing most of the talking anyway."

"Understood."

Am I really driving if all I’m doing is holding the reins? Tenma wondered, but he kept his eyes on the road ahead.
