"..." Think

____POV Hécate____

.

I am in the driver's seat and Chiyoko is in the gunner's seat.

I failed to negotiate to be the one with the shooter. I can even say that I had no chance against her. She had unstoppable arguments. Her main argument was that I could shoot anyone or anything and she's not wrong. The other argument was that I was the one driving everything. And so that I had more experience in driving. As for her, she was the person who fired the most from the boat's cannon.

"So, tell me how I could have won this job?!"

« You will start soon » said Chiyoko enthusiastically.

« Yes yes » I say with a small voice.

On this I turn on the engine and a roar appear.

And with that roar that came, my enthusiasm for riding this beast come.

I could already imagine myself driving this thing straight towards my enemy and crushing them.

"Finally, it is not so bad driving "

And with that, I start moving forward.

« Are you getting there with the turret? » I ask.

« Yeah, everything works».

« If you see something straight ahead, tell me because I don't see much».

And it's true, I don't see much. But I think it's not that bad because nothing can stop me.

Also, when I was in the helicopter, I did some repairs and saw a more or less clear path. So, I shouldn't meet any obstacle that can stop me

But I wonder why there is a clear path in the middle of the forest. It's not like this path is clean or anything, but I still find it weird.

I even have the impression that this path was used a long time ago.

In short, it is better not to ask this kind of question.

.

« Where am I going? » I ask.

« I don't know » she replied.

« How do you not know?! »

« I don't know where we're going since we took this path».

« So, what do we do ?! »

« Straight ahead «

« Do you want us to go into this cave? I don't even know if the vehicle fits».

The origin of this exchange came when we reached the end of the road. And now we face a mountain range and a cave.

« Basically, we were supposed to go in which direction? » I ask.

« Southwest! Uh no, northeast. I do not know anymore! » shout Chiyoko

« We start this adventure and we are already lost…. What will be next? Alright, I'll turn around and we'll go back. »

As I was doing my maneuver to turn around, Chiyoko stopped me.

« STOP! » she cried as loud as she could.

With all the force I could, I braked. The vehicle stops short and I even almost took the vehicule 's control in the head.

« What is it? » I ask after recovering from the jolt.

« I see small creatures chasing a person in the cave with heat vision».

« What are you waiting for, shoot! »

« And hurt the person pursued, not even in a dream».

"That's why I'm not at the shooter. I shoot anything that moves. I really must stop having this mentality "

With being reprimand, I am silent, and I wait.

I wait for her to clean up or ask me to do something.

And shortly after, I hear Chiyoko swear.

« What is it? » I ask.

« Goblins are chasing a girl».

« Shit! what are you waiting for to shoot?! »

« And hurt the girl in the same process, no way! »

« Better get caught by goblins instead then?! » I reply ironically.

« Do not start! There's no point in saving her if I kill her».

« Do what you want but you will take responsibility».

Moments later, Chiyoko swore like I had never heard. I even discovered insults.

With her explosion, I understand what happen. The girl was caught.

I hope for her that the goblins of this world are not like in our fantasy books.

« So, what are you going to do? » I ask.

« I'm going to get her before those filthy creatures get their hands on her».

« What does it mean? »

« Female goblins do not exist. So, to reproduce, they… »

« It's ok I got it! » I interrupt.

"Shit, it's like in our fantasy books».

« Well, I'm leaving. I'll go get her and run back as soon as possible. Prepare the turret. » declared Chiyoko

With her statement, I froze. Why did I freeze? Because I fear that she will be caught by these things. And I refuse to let her things touch her.

So, with all the voice I have I stop it.

« STOP! I'll go! You will stay and cover for me. They will surely be after me. »

« No, it's my responsibility, it's up to me to go. In addition, I know how to be very discreet with my skills»?

« They may be stupid but not blind. You can't face hundreds of goblins. Me, I can. Anyway, I leave you no choice. »

Without leaving her speak, I get out of the vehicle, put on my night vision goggles, take out my m249 and I run towards the cave with a single idea in mind.

"Show no mercy! "
