Takasugi vs Goblins( Part 3)


Kudo and I stood back-to-back, guarding each other’s rear.

"Hey, Kudo. On my signal, sidestep to the right. We’re getting out of here together!" I said.

Kudo replied, "Got it."

I began chanting, "One-two, one-two," to guide us.

Hmm? Something’s off.

Isn’t the sound of Kudo’s armor scraping… getting farther away?

"Ow!" A sharp pain shot through my butt.

I turned to see that Kudo had indeed distanced himself from me.

I called him back.
"Hey, Kudo! Why’d you move away from me?"

He responded, "Because you said to sidestep to the right, didn’t you?"

Wrong! That’s not how it works!

"Listen, Kudo. Right now, we’re back-to-back. You get that, right? So when I say right, for you, that means left. Otherwise, we end up moving away from each other. So follow my voice and move to your left. Got it?"

"Ah, okay. Then say left from the beginning!"

You idiot! Figure that out yourself! You muscle-brain!

After that, we somehow managed to escape from the 4th basement floor.

Next up was the 3rd basement floor.

But several rookie explorer parties were already hunting horned rabbits there, so we passed through without getting attacked.

My butt, though—past the pain and now just burning.

Burning hot, like it’s on fire.

Eventually, we reached near the dungeon entrance.

"Are you alright!?" a staff member from the Explorer’s Guild came running up.

Too slow! You should’ve come to help way sooner!

I was placed face-down on a stretcher and taken to the attached clinic.

There, a female nurse removed my shoes, then pulled off my pants and underwear.

…Once again, my precious butt has been seen by a girl…

Damn it!!

The doctor explained: if I used a medicated patch, it would be covered by insurance. But if I used a potion, it wouldn’t.

I already heard this the other day, so I knew.

So my answer was obvious!

"Potion, please!"

They poured potion on my butt, and the heat and pain vanished.

I turned around and checked my butt.

Yep, perfectly healed.

Damn you, goblins! I won’t let you off easy! I will get my revenge!

I’m the kind of man who never forgets a grudge against his butt!!

—

I left the exam room and walked down the hallway toward the clinic’s exit.

Kudo was waiting in the lobby.

I took him with me as we walked toward the shop.

That old man! What the hell was that “physical resistance” thing!? Don’t mess with me! I wore those special pants and still took damage to my butt!

I’m gonna complain!!

The old man was at the shop.

I told him how I took multiple butt hits from goblins and suffered damage back there.

He said, "Well, that’s unfortunate."

Then he added, "That fabric has physical resistance, so it won’t tear that easily. See? Not a single rip, right?"

…What? That’s what you meant?

You should explain things more clearly!

I misunderstood “physical resistance” as “protection against physical attacks!”

Damn it!

While I was stewing in irritation, Kudo chimed in:

"Takasugi, the goblin wasn’t using a bat—it was a club. So it wasn’t a butt bat, it was a butt club, right?"

Shut up, Kudo!!

—

Kudo and I went to the cafeteria.

I bought a cider from the vending machine.

The fizzy refreshment soaked into my irritated soul.

Then Kudo showed up.

Let me guess—pudding again?

…Yep. There it was, on his tray.

"Kudo. I’m taking a break from the explorer job for a while. I’m going to come up with the perfect anti-goblin strategy. Wait for me until it’s ready. Once I’m fully prepared, we’re going goblin hunting again!"

When I said that, Kudo replied, "Got it! Invite me again when you're ready."
