6 27- 31

Day 27- the day started with my morning callisthenics to loosen up the muscles. Some of the goblinas noticed my exercise and asked for me to instruct them. The first was goburin who I recognised because of her light greenish hair and her developing leadership skills based on how she can corral the goblins. The other was a goblina named gobusui who has pigtails, she will become a healer later which is noticeable based on how kind she is.

I know what your thinking; goblins being kind? Well you can't judge a book by its cover. Goblins have personalities besides the ones Rou interacted with for example the third goblina who I interacted with. Gobuchi who is a red head like me and likes to tease people along with attempting to read the books left behind by the humans. Another noteabke trait is that she has larger breasts than the other goblinas so often gets complimented on how she will make a good mother. It's a little barbaric to judge that on breasts but I feel it's not my place.

Anyway after going through the routine with the stretches and as an added bonus I finally had someone to help me with the dual stretches. Rin has a bit of grin while she was helping me stretch which I'm attributing to her hidden personality.

After that we had target practice outside were we would try to hit the painted targets using either arrows, knives or rocks. It's was gobume's turn and she had surprisingly good aim which confirmed that she would become a dodomeki in the future for me.

Suddenly the bushes rustled which made everyone put the guard up, 8 goblins and 3 hobgoblins appeared lugging five humans and a bag of stolen goods with them. I instantly understood who they were but that didn't allow me to put my guard down. Rou was already teaching for his blade before old Ji stopped him. "Calm down youngins they're older gobs that left ta hunt, in other words your parents". Rou and Mi looked sceptical but I decided to make conversation.

I went towards the two female hobgoblins, the first had beautiful white hair that was covered by a stitched up leather hat, she was more calm than the others i had seen thus far. The second was a taller hobgoblin with red hair done into a pony tail, she wore a typical adventurer outfit with a nice blade with a ruby on the pommel that matched her hair.

"Nice to meet you I'm hobujin, what's your names?" I asked politely, the redhead responded happily "Hi there~ in hobusato and this quiet girl is hobusei. Hey this place had changed a lot since we were last here".

I rubbed the back of my head "yeah that's kinda because this generations a lot more... adventurous" "hahahahaha yeah I can tell, you guys are kitted out with better gear than us plus you have five hobgoblins". Sato and Sei were my two favourite girls in the manga and the book for multiple reasons. Firstly they didn't have a dependence on Rou like the others did at the beginning, second they weren't in his massive harem as they were with each other and third they had decent hobbies.

"Yeah we just hunted out all the orcs from the mine, they were good~ anyway sei you seem to have a lot of mana, are you a mage". Sei then widened her eyes at me "you could tell?" "Ah I have mana myself though I can't cast spells I can do other stuff". Her eyes glistened with stars as she talked about magic "really what can you do with it? How do you train? Is there any new books from the mine? What's your element?" Sato had to hold her shoulders to calm her down while I just smiled.

"Your very beautiful when you act all passionate like that" she suddenly stopped then mumbled something before turning away slightly while sato laughed "hahaha quite the ladies man, maybe we could have some fun later~" my heart thumped as she said that seductively. "I'm delighted to sato-chan and to answer your questions sei-chan I have mana so I channel it into parts of my body and my weapon to enhance them, I also figured out that I can use different elements when I meditate with an elemental stone that we got from the mines. When I channel different types of mana to my body it has varying effects like water mana makes my movements more fluid while lighting makes me faster. I'm gonna start mixing them soon."

Sei broke out of her embarrassment and gasped my hands while giving me puppy dog eyes "teach me... everything...jin-kun" "sure sei-chan" as we went to continue our conversation someone leaked bloodlust which made the three of us snap go action.

We ran to find Hobuken and Rou about to brawl. Sei acted like a diplomat disarming the situation while I made small talk with sato about their travels and abilities. She really likes stabbing her opponents which led to a heated debate about better brutalising methods while Rou started the duel then used his roar and string skills to beat ken half to death. The goblins fell to their knees because of the pressure while Kichi and Mi were used as a shield by some of them. Me, Sei and sato were able to resist easily.

"Any challengers!" Asked Rou but after that display most didn't want to. Me and sato got our oil burning from the display though so we decided to spar later.

Rou led the girls away to the inner cave while I decided to loot their stuff, alchemy and kitchen tools along with a sewing kit. There was some adventurer gear but it was for women so I left it.

Later I had my spar with sato but it was easy to win barehanded. I swept her legs and threw her over my shoulder on her back then mounted her. She couldn't escape or get me off so she surrendered. I chuckled and blew a kiss at her which made her laugh. What I didn't know was at the corner of the room rin, chi and Sui were watching with a bit of jealously.

Day 28- Rou displayed the ability to communicate with the girls so he was the delegate with them. He said no breeding them but I wasn't interested in the first place. I'm more interested in their skills than their bodies. Today we gained a blacksmith, two chefs and seamstresses, an alchemist and the redhead who happily explained about human society to Rou but I could understand every word.

After the roles were established we began packing to move into the orc mine as it was much larger and defensible than the current cave. Me and kichi took the vanguard while escorting our supplies only to find more orcs. I used this chance to demonstrate to sei and sato how I fight with mana as they were very interested in it last night. Using my polearm I either smashed them while running earth mana through my weapon or sliced them while running wind or lightning through it.

After clearing them out Rou used his earth magic and skills to mould the cave into suitable rooms for everyone. He made a kitchen, a smithy, an apothecary, training area and a few bedrooms. Sei and sato moved into my one so we could talk more about mana arts as I called them and other topics. I asked sei if she was interested in alchemy but she said there was no mana involved. This led to me telling a story about the full metal alchemist which made both girls eyes shine. That was my whole night till we passed out.

Day 29- more renovations on the cave today which was fine by me, the black wolf fur made excellent mattresses for me. Rou chose today to break the newbies into the goblin workout routine. I also demonstrated some fighting techniques to the goblins but I was mostly just there to watch the girls workout like 90% of guys in my past life at the gym.

Sei was going to give up until I explained that the more physically fit you are the more mana you can handle along with making it flow easier for mana arts. She then proceeded to outdo hobuken who spent the day with a scowl on his face.

I also tried to converse with the humans using broken language to make it seem like I was copying Rou. They understood me so I spoke with them a fair bit, turns out their lives were basically the same as they are now except less Noble dick heads ruining the atmosphere. Also they said that the goblins actually sexually harassed them less than humans did. Medieval humans are pretty uncivilised I soon discovered with most either trying to get in your wallet or get in your pants. They said that this life style might be a breath of fresh air then they trailed off about Rou and started asking me questions.

I figured I'd do the guy a favour and talk him up so they could speed things along in their relationship. Mi was giving the girls dirty looks every so often though probably realising Rou is interested in them romantically. The rest of my day was spent asking them about different monsters that can be found in this forest, the topic of elves and lizard men came up which made me interested.

Day 30- today I mostly just worked out then went for a quick hunt to catch some night vipers for dinner. When I got back I asked the human girls to cook it while I went and mined a little to help out gobue. She is a minecraft addict if I've ever seen one. The happy grin on her face as she smashed boulders with her pickaxe had Kichi's full attention. I nudged him with my elbow which made him stumble away. Gobuchi then decided to follow him to tease him some more after seeing his reaction.

I went towards the two girls and joined their conversation with Rou about the magic system. The spells they knew were {flame, liquid and abyss}. They then spoke about my mana arts but Rou was unable to reproduce those so he decided to find a human that's capable. The red head did in fact confirm that a class called battle mink could do something similar to what I can.

After that I went to the two chef girls and asked about anything they needed. They then gave me a book they had about spices which could be found in the forest so I went scavenging with goburin and gobusui who wanted a walk.

Day 31- I decided to practice meditation today with Sei-chan, she said this helped her gather more mana and learned her spells while she was doing it. She then said she learned the liquid spell when it was raining so I suggested doing it in the depths of the mine. The result was after two hours she learned the spell {stone bullet} which made her elated. I had to stop her from running away to different environments to learn new spells. She mentioned mountain peaks and volcanoes which frightened me towards how fixated she was on magic.

Sato laughed at my misery in trying to restrain her though I have the feeling she knows all to well what I'm going through. So later we had another quick spar which was exciting because she was able to circulate her own mana slightly meaning I could teach her it. She then teased me about "guiding" her mana with my fingers to show her how to do it. This girl needs to be taught a lesson.

After that we watched Rou and kichi test out the new blacksmiths gear. His flaming axe was pretty cool so I asked what she could do for me but she said it would take a little while as my weapon was pure steel from head to toe, Kichi had wooden parts that could be altered. So I got a little sad and went to my room, sato decided to give me a back rub while stifling a laugh while sei happily read her books.

I dosed off enjoying the homey atmosphere in my room but was awoken by screaming and the sounds of bludgeoning. Me and the girls ran out and found goburin. "Rin-chan what's happening?" "Jin kun the older goblins and hobuken tried to breed the humans so Rou captured them and it's beating them even worse than before". Oh shit that was tonight wasn't it. Oh well rapists to deserve death in my opinion. I couldn't go console the human girls because they might be frightened by a male that isn't Rou right now.

I just went back to my room to sleep while drowning out the noise of the heating. Tomorrow I'm installing a tarp to drown out the noise.
