Day 16
I spent that night on a tree branch right over the corpses. After much thinking and self-revision, I ca to the conclusion that I was simply frustrated and took out all my stress on Minerva. I didn't know why, but I simply couldn't care about the dead humans. It was probably because I didn't know them before.
I wanted to eat their corpses, but what I hoped to be the human part of wouldn't allow for it. There was no need to eat them. I wasn't hungry and considering they died so easily, they definitely weren't strong, so I doubted they had any useful skills. So in essence, I really didn't need to eat them. That would have simply been a waste of ti.
So, for now I would look for a new nest. Or at least that was the plan till I heard so weird sounds and screechy voices. When I looked down I saw green monsters. Goblins.
They were scavenging through the dead bodies for goods. One of them picked out a dagger and looked at it, grinning gleefully. Another found a pocket watch and was instantly captivated. Another looked through a sack he found and nodded happily at the sight.
I was surprised however to find the goblin I t earlier. They little guy who asked to help him catch food for his village. He picked up a belt and started chewing on it.
'That's not for eating, idiot.'
I sent a ssage to him using [Telepathy]. He looked around for the source of the voice. As assuming as it might have been to see him shit his pants in fear, I wasn't in the mood.
'Up in the trees.'
He looked up and saw . His face adorned a smile after seeing .
"Oh! It is you! The Tyrant's pet."
The others looked up at with scared expressions. They were seriously still thinking that Minerva would do sothing to them?
'Don't call that.'
I warned him. Seriously, I didn't want that to beco an actual title.
"O-Oh… alright."
The goblin seed scared and a bit down.
'What are you doing out here anyway? Isn't it too early for you guys to be moving around?'
"No. This is the normal hunting ti! We do this every day!"
'You specifically, because it seems like I only et you hunting.'
I tried for a joke to make myself better but then
"This is punishnt for bringing you to the village.
'Oh… ah…'
"Chief said I shouldn't have brought a dangerous monster like you to the village even if it was with good intentions. He said you might have burned the village down to cinders if you felt like, so as punishnt I will go hunt every day."
He sounded really depressed and I could understand why. That was basically a death sentence for the weak goblins. I could assu that the goblins went out in daily shifts, so no goblin goes two days in a row to hunt. However this guy was being forced to go out every single day. The chances of him being killed were exponentially increased now. And if he didn't die to so grueso monster, the stress would eventually accumulate till one day he died of it. Even human adults couldn't go through an entire seven days of non-stop work. They would break down.
Wait. Goblins aren't human. That probably ant we didn't work the sa. He probably wouldn't get stressed out then. He'd just die at the hands of a monster. Ah well.
'Hmm, sorry.'
I apologized to him.
"You better be!"
He rudely responded. I looked away from them and decided to ignore them. They finished whatever they were doing and were about to leave, but then the goblin ca back.
"You can talk!?"
He yelled at the top of his voice.
_______________________________________________
The green guy kept pestering till we started talking about why I was still there. He said he had really wanted to talk to but because I couldn't speak back then he couldn't. I explained to him that I developed [Telepathy] and he asked how he could get that skill, but since I couldn't tell him that it was because of a unique skill I had, I simply lied.
I an, if these guys killed Minerva's mother because she was going to give birth to a rare type of goblin, what would they do to soone who had a unique skill? Ok, that was the wrong way at looking at things, but still. You can never be too cautious with goblins.
I ended up telling him about the problem with Minerva and why I couldn't return to her cave and stuff. He told to follow him back to the goblin village and that I would be treated like a god there. I didn't want to but he managed to convince to go back to his cave with him. To be honest, I think I just went there to see if he would get executed for bringing there a second ti.
When we got there, as expected the goblins were scared shitless. It was quite comical, but apparently Gorm wasn't around so I would have to wait a while. The other goblins were insulting the guy again, but he didn't care. So threatened to beat him to a pulp, but he ended up running to instead and they wouldn't dare co close to .
Oda ca back earlier and she greeted . I spoke to her to see her reaction and she acted completely unfazed. It turns out she was very shocked and that nonchalant façade of hers was just her being really shocked. I nodded at the fact that I really did hit the kuudere jackpot and grinned happily in my mind.
She asked why I was in the village and I explained the situation to her, she being one of the few creatures in the forest I felt I could trust.
She nodded her head and told to wait for Gorm. Oh yeah, if you don't understand how they can understand even with [Telepathy], the agent was translating for . Having such a skill was quite useful, no?
So I waited a bit for Gorm. He wasn't coming and I was getting bored out of my mind. It had gotten to the point where little goblin kids were coming to play around . Oda saw and broke into a smile, almost laughing. Feeling embarrassed, I said I was going to explore for a bit and Oda said she would co with.
Apparently she was bored as well so she would just follow wherever I went. I asked her if there were any places she thought I would like to visit and she said she didn't know much about so she couldn't tell. But if I just wished to explore, maybe I could try the |Forbidden Dungeons| even though it was ill-advised to do so.
Apparently it was created before even Larm created the forest and the being who did so wielded unimaginable power or sothing like that. It was probably a god or sothing like that, but if I could enter that dungeon and conquer it wouldn't I get stronger?
Well, that was the goal, so when I went there with Oda, she refused to enter further into the place. She was really scared so I just went off by myself. When I entered I received a notification that I had entered a dungeon.
I felt that was odd because it would be like the system saying I had entered a house if I entered a house. So that ant the system had so sort of connection to the dungeon or if there were more in the world, dungeons. Eventually, hopefully I would find out that connection.
When I entered, a bunch of skeleton in rusty armor ca to life. The average skeleton was D rank, which was a rank beneath mine. That was scary, but they weren't really durable and seed weak to fire since my [Fire Breath] was actually causing a lot of damage. It didn't take long for to destroy a lot of them and go up 3 levels.
Since I was hungry and felt like getting more powerful, I decided to eat the bones of the undead. Well, I wanted to eat the bones, but then so undead skeletons ca up out of nowhere. They were all bigger than the ones I just fought and wore pitch black armor with massive swords and shields. They all had ranks C and were led by a skeleton in golden armor with four limbs. It also possessed a C rank, but its stats were in a different league as compared to the others.
That skeleton chased out of the dungeon and I ran crying for my life. When I got out there, Oda was waiting there for and I could see her distressed expression. She ran like hell when the skeletons ca out of the cave and seeing as she wouldn't be fast enough, I grabbed her by the shoulders and flew faster than I normally did.
We promised to never speak of that incident ever again. And Oda had a sort of refreshed look on her face. I decided I was tired for the day so I would hunt down a few rabbits for food. I managed to satiate my hunger and get so for Oda to send back to her village. I asked her why she wasn't eating it right there and she told she preferred it cooked. I asked if she could cook and she told that Gorm had taught her how to.
I was sort of angry, but it was more fault for… in fact no one was at fault here. At least I found out they could cook so I decided to at least taste her cooked food. We walked back to the village with a dium sized sack's worth of dead bunnies.
'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I AM THE BUNNY SLAYER!'
And then I got the title |Bunny Slayer|. I sighed and just left off to the village.
The day was also unsuccessful and useless because I couldn't find my twigs. It was really bugging out thinking about how they might have died. San's death was still lingering in my mind and I felt sort of guilty for it. Sa for the first guy I killed. Ah well, he tried to fight first. Maybe I should have created new spawns.
We went back to the village where Gorm was waiting. The goblin guy from before was currently surrounded by four goblins and was fighting for his life. His execution it would seem.
I went next to Gorm and asked what was happening and he said he was punishing the little guy. I simply shrugged it off and Gorm asked what my purpose there was. I told him I had been kicked out by Minerva and he told I was welco to perch around his village. I just shouldn't eat his goblins.
I told him I wouldn't so I found a tree to perch on. After that, Oda gave them the dead rabbits and they celebrated that night. I simply wanted to sleep, but Oda ca to with the cooked bunny for to taste. I was honestly disappointed. There was no salt in it! The damned skank didn't know how to cook.
