Abnormals were supposed to be abnormally strong. The old man had said as much. Even in his glory days he barely won against one. But the old man went into a goblin's nest alone, killed all of them, and then dealt with the Abnormal, so I guess he was just being modest.
But with the numbers, we saw in the nest and the number of Abnormals, it was only natural this girl would be concerned. But I guess she had the misunderstanding that I bargained out of there, rather than just letting them go instead.
"Don't worry about it. I had a bargaining chip."
Which meant, I didn't have to go out of my way to make up lies and convince her.
"You mean, that pink goblin?"
"Yeah."
It was more like either they'd tell me what I wanted to know or get eradicated but oh well.
The girl exhaled and stood up. "Just a bit further and we'd reach the ruins." She still breathed a bit fast. "Sometimes I'm really jealous of the stamina of you guys."
