The adventurer had undeniably eaten the stew the Goblin had dosed, and the dose he’d used was supposed to be powerfully soporific, yet the adventurer had stayed up all night without so much as a yawn. The Goblin had watched with bated breath, wondering if Rentt would sleep this moment, or the next, or in the next minute...until the night was gone.

The impossible had happened, and the Goblin wanted to scream and demand answers from someone—anyone. Had he failed to stir the stew thoroughly enough when he’d hastily sneaked the poison in? Had Lorraine and Augurey taken the majority of the dose, leaving none left for Rentt?

It wasn’t impossible, but the Goblin clearly recalled... No, he paused and reconsidered. The truth was what you could see and feel, what you could verify. He had to stick to that philosophy.

Rentt hadn’t slept. That was a fact. The Goblin’s scheme had ended in failure, but there was nothing he could do to change that now. Besides, that wasn’t the only trick he had up his sleeve. The Goblin wasn’t so prideful he thought he could pull off any job alone on the first try. All that mattered were the final results.

For the time being, he would accept the small victory of forcing one of them to keep watch all night, which must have weakened Rentt to some degree. The Goblin would have preferred to weaken the two Silver-class adventurers, but for whatever reason, Rentt hadn’t woken either of them. The Goblin was concerned for a moment that the trio had seen through his sabotage, but he soon chased away that thought. If they had, they wouldn’t have kept him around. They could have left him prey to a monster and led their own way. As to why Rentt hadn’t woken his Silver-class companions, the Goblin just assumed they were the greater fighters, and Rentt had wanted them to be well rested.

It wasn’t uncommon for adventurers of varying ranks to form a party, but the lower-ranking member usually volunteered for menial duties around the camp to compensate for the gap in fighting capabilities. Perhaps they felt pressured to earn their keep, or perhaps they genuinely believed their assignment was for the betterment of the team. That was certainly the more efficient approach to running a party, and as long as the members got along, things ran smoothly. The longer a party worked together, the more likely it was that they suffered some fissure in their dynamic, but Rentt’s party seemed free of any such friction, so it was logical that Rentt had let the other two sleep.

As if to confirm the Goblin’s assumption, once the Goblin started the wagon, Rentt lay down and went to sleep. Keeping watch through the night must have taken a toll on him.

Some things had gone according to plan, but the Goblin had executed missions before where things hadn’t gone perfectly at first, so he wasn’t too shaken about it...yet.

“Well? What are we going to do, Rentt?” Lorraine asked after stealthily setting up a Sound Barrier around us.
