I Woke Up In The Morning And Became A Seeker, So I Dived Into A Dungeon ~Steadily Leveling Up Starting at the First Level~

Chapter 99. Unrivaled
It seems like we made it just in time.
Guided by the villagers, we headed towards the goblin cave. On the way, we stumbled upon a lone girl getting attacked by a horde of goblins.
The location was a dim forest.
As one goblin was about to assault the girl, I cast the spell [Rock Bullet] and unleashed a magical projectile.
The goblin took a direct hit from the rock bullet I launched, turned into a black mist, and transformed into a magic stone.
Good, this should do.
There were still more than ten goblins remaining.
Among them were two hobgoblins, two goblin archers, and one goblin shaman.
However, since encountering monsters in this world was my first time, I could only judge them based on their appearance, assuming they looked similar to the goblins in our world.
I wondered if the goblins in this world were the same as the ones in our world.
While rushing towards the girl, I called out to my junior colleague, who was in the form of a magician.
“Yuzuki, can you confirm?”
“Alright! [Monster Appraisal]... Hmm, their status is the same as the goblins we know. Hobgoblins, Archers, and Shamans are all identical.”
Good.
[Monster Appraisal] worked, and their stats are the same.
Their disappearance upon defeat, the transformation into magic stones, it’s all the same.
With everything considered.
It’s safe to say that the monsters in this world are similar entities to the ones in our world.
I ran to the girl’s side and stood in front of her to protect her from the goblin horde.
Upon closer inspection, I noticed the girl had deep wounds on her abdomen and legs.
“Are you alright? Once I take care of them, I’ll heal you. Just wait a little longer.”
“Y-You... Who are you?”
“Oh... We’re adventurers who accepted the request to exterminate goblins from the village.”
While having a conversation with the girl, the huddled goblins in a distant place finally regained their composure, prompted by the shaman’s command.
They were surprised, and confused by our appearance.
They finally gathered their wits.
Goblins and Hobgoblins swung their weapons and approached us.
While the archer nocked an arrow, and the shaman prepared to cast magic.
However, it was too late.
“In that case, Kazane-san, go ahead!”
“Okay, Daichi-kun! Wind, rend them apart! [Wind Storm]!”
Kazune-san, who had reached the girl before me, had already prepared her magic.
Kazane-san’s magic activated.
The storm filled with numerous blades of wind engulfed the horde of Goblins.
Nearly 10 Goblins caught within the spell’s range were torn apart by countless blades of wind and disappeared one after another, transforming into magic stones.
Among them were all the long-range attackers, including the Goblin Archers and Goblin Shaman.
Only three Goblins and one Hobgoblin remained, those who managed to evade the area of effect.
Dealing with the remaining enemies became easy.
Among them were all remote attackers such as goblin archers and goblin shamans.
Only three goblins and one hobgoblin remained, unable to be rolled into the area of effect.
Once this happened, the rest was easy to deal with.
We quickly dispatched the remnants with the combination of Kazane-san and my weapon attacks, including Yuzuki’s [Fire Bolt].
Afterward, there were only dozens of magic stones had fallen to the ground. Kazane-saan and Yuzuki picked them up.
Kazane and Yumizuki picked them up.
“Amazing... They took care of those Goblins in an instant... That’s the true strength of professional adventurers...”
The girl they had rescued looked at them with wide eyes.
I sat in front of the girl and kneeled, ready to use healing magic on her.
“I’ll use healing magic... [Earth Heal].”
A healing light enveloped the girl’s body.
The pained expression on the girl’s face quickly eased.
“No way... The pain is gone... My injuries completely healed...”
The girl showed another expression of surprise.
Well, it seems like all the immediate problems in front of us have been resolved.
Then, I heard a ping sound, and a message box opened.

Oh, we cleared two missions at once.
It seems we received double experience points for mission completion.
But the mission ‘Clear an E-rank Quest once’ is still unfinished.
There may be other Goblins we need to defeat other than the ones we just defeated.
Or maybe we have to report back to the Adventurer’s Guild to fulfill the requirements.
And new missions have popped up one after another.
Some seem suspicious, but let’s put that aside for now.
“We’re back, Daichi-kun.”
“We picked up the magic stones, senpai. There are a total of 12.”
Kazane-san and Yuzuki returned, having collected the magic stones.
I also picked up the magic stone that was at my feet.
“Well, that makes 13, including this one.”
“So, that makes it 13, including this one.”
So, it seems that missions count regular Goblins and other Goblins.
The mission descriptions seem to be somewhat rough in some aspects.
Afterward, we headed towards the cave where the goblins were said to inhabit and explored its depths.
However, it seemed that we had defeated all of them in that previous encounter, as there were no goblins left in the cave.
Confirming the completion of our mission, we returned to the village with the girl.
We reported to the village chief and received the promised additional rewards and heartfelt gratitude.
Afterward, we left the village and began our journey back to the town.
The sun was beginning to set behind the mountains, casting an orange glow in the sky.
Under the evening sky, as we left the village behind, the girl called out to us. It was the girl we had saved.
“Um, um...! Thank you so much! I will do my best to become a splendid adventurer like all of you!”
In the girl’s eyes, as she bid us farewell at the village entrance, it seemed that she had made a firm resolution.
Somehow, it felt like we had become figures of admiration.
“Daichi-kun, say something to her.”
“Huh, me?”
“That’s right. You’re our leader, senpai.”
“Wait, when did that happen?
Despite my protests being in vain, Kazane-san and Yuzuki urged me forward, putting me in a position where I had to say something.
There’s no helping it.
I put on a senior adventurer-like expression as best as I could and spoke to the girl.
“Yeah, do your best. But don’t push yourself too hard. If something like this happens again, we won’t be able to come to your rescue.”
“Yes! I’ll do my best to not overexert myself! Thank you so much!”
The girl deeply bowed her head, then waved her hand as she walked away.
The three of us also waved back. Finally, we started walking the road back to the town.
