Ayaka's Curiosity

The five goblins stepped out from the shadows. Their green skin glowed faintly under the bright full moon, and their eyes shone with a hungry, wild look.

Zaper's heart started pounding hard in his chest. He grabbed his sword tighter, his knuckles turning white from the pressure. He hadn't expected to see goblins like this.

He thought Mount Moon was safe for beginners, that the goblins here were weak E Rank ones. But these goblins were different. They were bigger, stronger, and scarier—definitely C Rank.

Zaper was only an E Rank adventurer. He knew he wasn't strong enough to fight them. Sweat ran down his forehead, stinging his eyes as he stared at their sharp teeth and long, pointy claws. He quickly pulled Ayaka behind him.

But Ayaka didn't look scared at all. She peeked out from behind Zaper's back, her big green eyes wide with curiosity. The goblins were short, green, and ugly, with their strange faces—pig, cow, monkey, and bird. She tilted her head, watching them like they were interesting toys.

The goblins didn't rush in. They stood there, grinning with drool dripping from their mouths. The pig-faced goblin, with his fat snout and tiny black eyes, stepped forward.

He grunted something rough and growly to his friends, a sound Zaper couldn't understand. Then he raised his clawed hand and waved it at Zaper, teasing him. He stuck out his slimy tongue and wiggled his fingers, daring Zaper to come fight.

Zaper took a deep breath and let out a small sigh. He noticed something important. The other four goblins weren't even looking at him.

Their glowing eyes were stuck on Ayaka, who was still peeking out. They licked their lips and shifted on their feet, excited and twitchy. Zaper realized they didn't care about him at all. They wanted Ayaka. Goblins loved human women, and she was tall, curvy, and pretty—exactly the kind they liked to fuck.

A plan popped into Zaper's head. If the goblins wanted Ayaka so bad, maybe he could use that to save himself.

He could push her toward them and run away. He'd get down the mountain and live. He thought about what might happen to her if the goblins got her. They'd probably try to fuck her or do worse things. But Zaper shook his head. He didn't care about her that much.

He'd only let her come with him because he wanted to fuck her himself. Other than that, she didn't matter to him. He gripped his sword tighter, ready to shove her forward and sprint away.

Before he could do it, Ayaka surprised him. She stepped out from behind him, her blue dress swishing around her long legs. The goblins froze, not expecting her to move closer. Their eyes got bigger as she walked right up to the pig-faced goblin, her hips swaying a little.

Without saying a word, Ayaka grabbed the goblin's head with both hands. Her fingers sank into his green skin, gripping tight.

The goblin squealed, a high, scared sound, but before he could fight back, she squeezed hard. There was a loud crunch. The pig-faced goblin's head broke like a rotten melon.

Blood sprayed everywhere, splashing across Ayaka's face, soaking her brown hair, and splattering her dress. The goblin's body dropped to the ground, limp and dead, with red blood pooling around it.

Zaper stared, his mouth hanging open. The other goblins stepped back, their eyes wide with shock.

Ayaka didn't stop there. She bent down and ripped a chunk of meat from the goblin's arm with her hands. Blood dripped from her fingers as she held the raw, green flesh. She brought it to her mouth and chewed, her teeth crunching through it loudly.

Then she grabbed a piece of the goblin's cracked skull and bit into it. It broke like a hard nut between her teeth. Blood and bits of bone stuck to her lips.

Finally, she scooped out some of the goblin's brain with her fingers soft, gray, and slimy and shoved it into her mouth. She chewed it up, blood running down her chin, mixing with the green and yellow goblin juice. Her blue dress was soaked red now, sticking tight to her curvy body, showing off her big breasts and round hips even more.

As she chewed, Ayaka wrinkled her nose. "This tastes fucking disgusting," she said out loud, her voice calm but annoyed. She swallowed the last bite and wiped her bloody hands on her dress, leaving red streaks. "Goblins are gross. I don't think I'll eat them again."

The four remaining goblins stood there, shaking. Their friend was dead, and this girl was crazy. Zaper's sword trembled in his hands. He didn't know what to think or do.

Ayaka licked some of the blood off her lips and looked at Zaper with her big green eyes. She tilted her head, her bloody hair sticking to her cheek, and smiled wider.

"Zaper, did you see that? His head went pop so easy!" she said, giggling like it was a game. "I thought goblins might taste better, you know, like spicy meat or something fun. But nope, they're all slimy and bitter. Yuck!"

She stepped closer to him, her dress dripping red onto the grass. "What do you think the other ones taste like? The monkey ones look chewy. Oh, or maybe the bird-face one has crunchy bones!" Her voice got excited, and she clapped her bloody hands together. "I still wanna eat everything, but maybe not goblins anymore. But I think should I try little bit of it's meat to understand. So What's next? You pick!"

Sister, these are C Rank goblins, not the weak ones, and you still want to eat them? These gross, slimy goblins? he thought to himself.

His stomach twisted as he realized something awful. He had brought something dangerous with him, something horrible.

Ayaka wasn't normal. She'd just crushed a goblin's head and eaten it like it was nothing, and now she was talking about tasting more with bloody clothes.

He tightened his grip on his sword, his hands still shaking. Sweat dripped down his back. He hoped, really, really hoped that she wasn't interested in eating humans too. The thought made his heart beat even faster. What had he gotten himself into?
