Goblin Q4 Strategy: miku

My grandmother, who could see goblins in the space between tree branches, used to say that miku was proof the goblins had been here before us.

The goblins have long maintained that miku is not what it appears to be.

A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of miku, and never once regretted the exchange.

The Goblin Verdict on miku

The goblin closing argument on miku consists of pointing at miku, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
