A Kind Goblin’s Bird - Chapter 7

The woman quietly listened to the voice. The goblin looks very scary. He was dressed in black, with a red face, and was very large. But only his voice seemed too good to hear like singing. The woman shook her head a little later.

“Rice soup? No, I didn’t eat anything like that today.”

The goblin was bewildered.

“No, the laws of the country. Laws*.”

“The last time I ate a meal was four days ago. I am not the one who ate the rice soup.”

“Four days ago?”

“Yes, this is the only thing I ate for four days. So I am not the one who ate the rice soup.”

The woman lifted the herb. The goblin’s voice was lowered.

“You only ate herbs for four days?”

“Yes. So it’s not me. Oh, by the way, Sir Goblin shouldn’t be here either. It’s a big deal if you talk to me. You will be beaten.”

“Beaten?”

“Yes. I can’t talk to anyone. I can’t use my neck except to sing. When the soldiers see it, Sir Goblin will also be in trouble. Run along. Since you’re a goblin, you can do magic tricks, right?”

The goblin was silent for a moment.

He seemed like a goblin seeing people for the first time. He looked at the woman for a moment and then reached out his hand. The moment his hand moved, the woman closed her eyes tightly.

She was going to be hit.

But even if she waited for it, the beating did not come. Carefully opening her eyes, the goblin was looking down at her, stopping his hand in the air. As she opened her eyes, the goblin said quietly.

“I won’t hit you.”

“Because you are a goblin?”

The woman asked and the goblin nodded.

“Because I am a goblin.”

I see, because you’re a goblin, you don’t hit people.

The woman’s shoulders, which had been so tense, were released with a sigh of relief. The goblin’s hand gently rubbed the woman’s cheek. The woman closed her eyes and savored the goblin’s hand.

After her mother died, no one had ever touched her like this. No, in fact, even her mother had rarely touched the woman this way in her lifetime.

Oh, last week, there was a man with pretty eyes. The goblin has big hands like that man. If you have these eyes, you have similar hands, are you a goblin or a person?

“Then … You’re a good goblin.”

“…….”

“You can’t even kill people, can you?”

A goblin that can’t even hit a person can’t kill a person. The woman sighed.

Who could kill her? Her father doesn’t kill her. Her father said both her and her mother’s bodies would be fed to the dog if she died. She thinks it’s okay to be eaten by a dog if this could end this damn life. But her mother had different thoughts. So the woman can’t die.

It would be nice if he could kill her.

It’s not his fault though.

“Is there anyone you want to kill?”

Asked the goblin.

She sighed quietly, not opening her eyes. The goblin’s body temperature was so high that the woman seemed to melt into him. If she melts, then she’ll die. If it could, no matter how painful it was, the woman would be able to bear it. Too bad. Even if this warmth touched her heart, it would not be able to burn her body.

“Lady?”

The woman grabbed the hand of the goblin covering her cheek.

“Goodbye.”

The woman let go of the goblin’s hand and stood up.

She shouldn’t involve an innocent goblin.

With her head dizzy in the herb, she thought blankly. It has been a while since someone has been nice to her. In fact, she wasn’t sure if that existence existed. Maybe that goblin is not a goblin but a tree or a stone.

The energy of the herb is strong, so she may be seeing something very strange.

She was happy though. Even if she was mistaken, it had been a long time since she had felt warmth and softness. She wished she could die now. when it’s so good

The woman staggered and walked. She has to go back before the sun goes down. It’ll be dangerous if she hurts her feet.

But in the meantime, the forest darkened, and the woman’s hazy gaze did not see the stone. The woman stumbled loudly.

And she falls. The woman tightly closed her eyes.

Then, someone caught her.

As she lifted her head, the goblin was looking down at her. His expression looked unknown, but a red face that looks warmer than a person. The woman grinned.

“Thank you, Sir Goblin.”

“…….”

“Sir Goblin?”

“What is your name?”

The goblin’s voice was low. He has a voice that makes her feel nervous.

Note:

The country’s law–rice soup exchange is actually super cute! So laws of the country is guk-bop (country-law), change one letter then it becomes rice soup guk-bap (soup-rice).
