{ . . .His hand then inched toward the Goblin Slayer. }
❝ Seeing as it’s been years, why don’t we experiment? You try it first, then I will. ❞
❝ . . .This may come as a surprise, but none of it is. Well— None of it, but the sandwiches. ❞
{ . . .He held up one, keeping visible between him and his companion. }
❝ A store clerk sold me some of these, said it could turn anyone into the Ultimate Fighter. However—
❝ You wish to explore my equipment? So be it. ❞
{ . . .Reaching into his armor once more, he’d pull out… quite a few items. }
{ Health Potions, Bombs, a Bow, a Shovel, an oddly shaped horn, and a… few sandwiches . . . ? }
❝ These things, along with my blade and shield. ❞
( . . . ‘Nerd?’ ‘Geek boy?’ )
{ . . .Such strange vocabulary, and even stranger terms. Perhaps, this was another one of those ‘modern times’ folk. }
{ . . .Don’t panic, focus on her. }
❝ I’m… unsure of who that is, but I believe we started on the wrong foot. Who are you? ❞

⃰ ❪ the fuck just happened ? did this guy have a stroke ? did she have a stroke ? what the fuck was going on ? what the hell is he saying ? ❫
are you some kinda nerd or larger ? ◞◞ if you're looking for geek boy he's not here.
❝ I’ve seen what these things can do, how ruthless and merciless they can get… The amount of souls they claimed, I’ll see to it that they all pay. ❞
{ . . .He’d held his blade, holding it close to his helmet. }
❝ Allow me to be your ally, I’ll fight this war with you. ❞
{ . . .Ah, ‘cause nothing screams ‘creative’ like “Goblin Slayer.” }
❝ Err— I’ve technically already completed my quest, I’m just freely roaming around and protecting who I can. ❞
❝ Also no—? Did you assume I was a goblin because I wear green . . . ? ❞
❝ Hm . . . ? ❞
{ . . .Her boredom cry had caught his attention, he flinched from her gothic appearance alone. }
❝ My, my. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone like thine before. Such a gloomy attire . . . ! ❞
❝ . . . ❞
{ . . .He gaze up at him, the two nearly matching similar heights, but he clearly towered over him. As for the name, the Verdant Knight expected… something else. Though, a name is a name. }
❝ Nice to meet you. ❞
{ . . .He’d stand too. }
❝ Verde. ❞
❝I was thinking that I would kill goblins. I have not gone solo for quite some time, I suppose I've lost my touch.❞
Goblin Slayer sits up.
❝Goblin Slayer.❞
❝ With a tone like that, I’d think the latter. ❞
{ . . .He’d kneel, stabbing his blade into the ground. }
❝ My sincerest apologies, madam. I mean not to insult you. ❞ 🌀
❝ Hmph, guess that’s what I get for judging a book by its cover. Of course there was something complex behind the maid outfit. ❞
❝ On that note, I have this uncanny feeling like… I’ve seen your face before. If not you, definitely on someone similar. ❞
—these creatures are, especially in groups or plateaus. ❞
{ . . .Raising his head, he’d stare over at the fellow man in armor. }
❝ What in the hell were you thinking . . . ? ! ❞
❝ It is my pleasure, friend. I saw you earlier enter this cave alone, I assumed you to be a madman. ❞
{ . . .Stabbing his blade into the ground, he’d sit down on a nearby rock. }
❝ While I agree on the extinction of these vermin, I need to reinstate how dangerous—
❝I'm... pretty messed up...❞
He coughs, reaching into his bag and grabbing out a health potion and undoing his mouthpiece and drinking it up.
❝Thank you... for your help.❞
“ Go ahead, use me as you wish, even stab me in the back if you see fit. Exploitation and treachery are simply tools of the trade. But remember, I don't make deals that don't pay off... So, I hope you don't disappoint me”
