CHAPTER 546: CHAPTER 285: GOBLIN SYNDROME

Every day, before work, listening for fifteen minutes is required.

Besides the Demon King, the four Demon Envoys also need to listen together.

Now, the four Demon Envoys are sitting at an outdoor dining table, eating breakfast while listening to the Wisteria Tree Spirit speak.

"Shami, there’s no cream left. Bread without cream lacks a soul."

"Quiet, Lureya, don’t talk while eating breakfast."

Shami glanced at the flat-haired blond.

The flat-haired blond pouted, took a small sip of tea.

Sitting on someone’s swing and still being so fierce, truly an ill-mannered Demon King.

[News from the Goblin Tribe... Goblin Leader Buwana led the army back to the Demon Realm this morning... the troops suffered casualties...]

[Buwana led the goblin army in a battle against the Esper Kingdom army last night... annihilating over three thousand human soldiers... dispersing over four thousand captives to various locations... the enemy commander Mason fled in defeat... goblins returned triumphantly, cough cough...]

"In my memory, this is the first time the Human Kingdom army has been defeated by goblins, right?"

The Magical Girl furrowed her brow slightly, her small face showing an incredulous expression.

"Now if someone bullies me outside, I can ask Mr. Buwana to send a hundred thousand goblin troops to back me up, woohoo~"

"As expected of the mainstay of the Demon Tribe, goblins have effortlessly accomplished something we find hard to believe."

The four girls paused eating breakfast, exchanged glances, and unanimously showed expressions of admiration.

"You four are the real mainstays of the Demon Tribe, you bully others without suffering bullying yourselves!"

Shami glared at the four Demon Envoy girls.

To be honest, the Demon King was also frightened by the goblins’ swift and decisive action.

However, if that goblin is Buwana, then anything is possible, right?

Shami was frightened, but not much.

[This is a piece of information from outside the Demon Realm... news circulating in several kingdoms these two days... now adventurer guilds everywhere are wary of this face, cough cough...]

The Wisteria Old Tree Spirit’s branches slowly intertwined, finally forming a human face outlined by branches.

Although not very clear, after looking carefully for a while, everyone’s gaze turned to the white-haired girl.

"Lina, is this face yours?"

"Eh, eh, what’s happened, did they find out about me stealing vegetables?"

The white-haired girl leaned forward nervously to look at the Wisteria Tree Spirit.

[Miss Lina’s usual trips to various villages for stealing vegetables have not been discovered... it’s just that the Demon Envoy identity has become known worldwide, cough cough...]

"That’s still... this situation is even worse! Why is my identity exposed? Is this true?"

The white-haired girl stood up in panic, almost knocking over the breakfast in front of her.

The remaining three girls and Shami looked over in confusion as well.

The exposure of the Demon Envoy identity is undoubtedly one of the most explosive news for the Demon Tribe.

[According to what I know so far... yes, cough cough...]

[The source of this news comes from the Eastern Kingdom United Conference Headquarters... this headquarters often publishes information about the Demon Tribe... now the Saint Karno City side is verifying the situation, cough cough...]

[The ambassador from the Esper Kingdom was the one who provided this information... typically, information about the Demon Envoys from the Kingdom United Conference is only released to the public after being substantiated, cough cough...]

[The evidence is as follows...]

The white-haired girl slowly sat down, her small face blankly looking at Lureya.

"Was it when we were catching the ghost that we got caught?"

[The spreading speed of this information is very fast... it’s estimated that by the afternoon... the entire Eastern Aireland continent... will know that Lina is a Demon Envoy... oh, the Saint Karno School has already issued an announcement, placing the first-year student at the Swordsman Academy, Oka Lina, under key surveillance, cough cough...]

The Elf Maiden silently looked at the white-haired girl.

"Lina, in that case, you’ve become famous..."

"I don’t want to become famous like this at all! If that’s the case, I can’t even go back to school, right? Even though I won a scholarship last term, this term I’ll be forced to drop out, sob sob."

The cowlick on the white-haired girl’s head drooped.

"No, the situation is far more serious than this. Not just school, now even if Lina goes to a human city, she must beware of being caught!"

"Saili, now’s not the time to say sarcastic things, Lina’s about to cry."

The flat-haired blond hugged the white-haired girl beside her affectionately, comforting her like an elder sister. Once the white-haired girl’s mood slightly stabilized, her worried little face relaxed slowly, then she burst into laughter.

"Lureya, why are you laughing?"

"I, I thought of something happy."

The Elf Maiden bit her lower lip, suppressing her laughter, already dancing a victory dance in her heart.

Though we’re all good friends, there’s no denying it wasn’t intentional mockery, but this is super awesome for me right now. If you can’t appear in human cities, then future dates with Shami will be completely devoid of urban connections.

The potential small competitor Lina directly game over, win!

[By the way... Miss Lureya... although it’s not being reported publicly... Saint Karno City is looking for you too... saying that an elf might have been kidnapped and held hostage by the Demoness Oka Lina, urging adventurer guilds to handle the elf issue, cough cough...]

"Eh, eh, eh?!"

[Perhaps because Miss Lureya often walked with Miss Lina... leading to a misunderstanding as a hostage, cough cough...]

"In that case, Lureya can’t return to Saint Karno City easily either. Compared to Elze, while attending Saint Karno School, Lureya mostly sticks with Lina. Either deceived by a Demon Envoy or colluding with one. Regardless, any smart individual can guess there’s something fishy here. If Lureya returns to Saint Karno City, she might be walking right into a trap."

The Magical Girl crossed her small legs, speaking calmly and unhurriedly.

"If not, with elves being captured by Demon Envoys, the strong image of the Elf Race would be instantly destroyed. But it would be worse if the world thought the Elf Race and Demon Tribe were in cahoots!"

The white-haired girl grasped the hands of the dazed flat-haired blond, her face no longer showing sadness.

"Alright, after all, the Demon Realm is so vast, even living here for a lifetime isn’t a problem, Lureya. Let’s be together."

"Together my foot, I still have to return to the Elf Forest! Damn it! Expose Elze and Saili too! Let’s see who can live then!"

"You said it out loud, Lureya! Is this the Elf Race for you?"

"?"

Although the identity of one among the four girls has already been exposed, the presence of the comical flat-haired blond made them start quarreling instead.

Only Shami was left in deep thought aside.

Such matters always connect one after another, like dominoes.

At Saint Karno School, he’s a subject teacher for Slime hobby courses while maintaining close ties with the four girls.

If investigations follow the clues, those in Saint Karno School will inevitably trace the white-haired girl to the flat-haired blond, then to the purple-haired girl, finally reaching him.

And the Magical Girl, who frequently leaves the group to operate at the magic tower during school, might possibly escape the predicament.

Currently, not only is there the Demon Envoy concern, but issues with magical creatures also escalate.

Whether it’s Slime, goblins, or Minotaurs, magical creature activities are increasingly frequent in human living areas, gaining attention from every city.

Shami felt the pressure multiply.

"Alright, let’s eat breakfast and then construct the Underground Maze. It’s critical to seize every moment now."

Shami stood up, opened a teleportation gate, and sent a few girls to various kingdoms before leaving the Demon King Castle to proceed to the territory of the Ghost Race.

He must also nurture the Ghost Race.

——

Esper Kingdom. Royal Capital.

Royal Capital Military Hospital.

The Minister of State Affairs from the Royal Palace looked perplexed towards the attending doctor.

"Goblin Syndrome?"

"Yes. Goblin Syndrome refers to an abnormal condition where female adventurers who are captured and violated by goblins in the goblin nest escape and develop an irrational fear of goblins."

The doctor, dressed in a white coat, explained.

The Minister of State Affairs nodded, then still puzzled, pointed towards the nearly thousand patients in the massive ward ahead.

"You mean that, including General Mason, all over eight hundred soldiers have Goblin Syndrome?"
