As the village chief said, the Goblin lair is located on the other side of the forest in some ruins of unknown origin—neither particularly ancient nor mysterious, just a small abandoned fortress.

"But we're adventurers."
At this time, Ais softly spoke up, and upon hearing Ais' reply, Megumin sighed deeply.
"Fine, you better protect me…"
"Leave it to me."
