Chapter 22: Improving The Ogre Tribe

"Alright everyone has worked hard, let's have breakfast and take a quick rest to replenish your energy, and call Phi and Chay outside."

As soon as everyone was back, Hnung lit a fire, ad this amazed everyone seeing the fiery fire. Soon Hnung began to skin the animal and tasked one of the goblins to put the skin on top of the cave.

The goblin though confused accepted such a request. Hnung began to make breakfast for everyone, smelling the roasting meat made them drool.

"It's been too long since we had cooked meat hah…"

They were in ecstasy. While Hnung was doing his best in cooking, after 1 hour Hnung was done cooking the meat and food for everyone to eat.

Everyone was eating with bliss, many used the log as a chair as they began to eat.

Cedric could see how the ogre race has been struggling a lot since many of them eating such food had already huge smiles.

Cedric also ate the food and after everyone finished eating they all continued their work. Cedric kept on helping Hnung, he was cutting the trees for Hnung to easily piece the house together.

Suddenly the ground started to shake uncontrollably.

"What's goin' on?"

The goblins were restless as they felt the earthquake, Cedric glanced at Thirak who climbed out of the hole and began running to their side while holding Phuna.

"It's gonna blow!"

The ground kept shaking the other goblins got scared and ran away, since they were all in a safe distance the ground shook, and a burst of water came out of the ground.

"A geyser?"

"Huff, huff.."

[Thirak has found a drinkable geyser, this water is removed from any impurities and can be drunk and used for a bath..]

"Everyone it's safe!.."

After a few minutes, the water started to calm down and slowly stopped. Cedric walked closer to the water, it was crystal clear.

'So how do I drink using my mouth…'

Cedric crouched his head and drank the water, it tasted warm, and not only that, the water was even kind of tasty.

"It's drinkable…"

"Wow!"

The goblins and even Thirak ran to the well, they all cupped their hands to drink the water. They were all joyous to taste the refreshing water.

"Now we don't have to have problems drinking they!"

The goblins and even Thirak shouted alongside them.

'Water check…'

Mae was also helping with the building of the houses, she didn't have to hunt for food and helped built the houses instead.

Mae glanced at her husband and continued the job. They were all working hard for their tribe.

Next, Cedric tasked Thirak to put stones beside the well so that others can be alerted in case one of them would drown.

Thirak happily obliged, while Phuna was being taught by Hnung to the skin using a knife with the other three goblins who were with Mae.

Everyone was very busy, meanwhile the Beastmen tribe.

"Is it finally done?"

Celer with an obvious dissatisfied expression on her face glanced at Callidus who was smiling in delight seeing the built fence. Though it was still halfway done he decided to give everyone a break.

"All right everyone we will have a break.."

"Finally!!"

Celer who finally had a break ran to Lenta's hut.

"Lenta!!"

"Celer!"

Celer sat beside Lenta.

"Hah you know Callidus is harsh, he's a hardworking ass! I mean he overworks us to the bone! I bet he doesn't even care for our well-being, that dummy!"

"Work has been too much huh.."

"Yeah, well I do understand why his so obsessed with keeping us safe, but his practically overdoing it! Hah…By the way, can I have one berry?"

"Of course, take some…"

"Wahhh thank you so much!"

Dux who arrived holding a basket filled with Berries glanced at Celer who was also eating some. The basket was made of coconut trees that Callidus made after Dux had asked him to do so.

"What are you doing here Celer?"

With narrowed eyes, Dux slapped Celer's hands.

"Hey! What's wrong with you? I was eating that! Geez I almost forgot how annoying you are as well!"

"Those aren't for you, they were supposed to be only for Lenta, if you want to eat there are some inside the storage just don't touch Lenta's shares…"

"I know there are some in the storage…it's just Callidus wouldn't let me get some…"

"Then find some berries on your own…"

"Lenta! Can you shoo this annoying mate of yours? He ruining my resting time…"

Lenta glanced at Dux.

"You should leave Dux me and Celer are going to talk about some important stuff, so shoo.."

"Oh ok…um here the berries for you, and Celer don't take all the berries for yourself…"

Dux with a dejected expression left Lenta and Celer alone.

"Wow, you have power over him that's it's kind of funny..'

"Is it?"

"Yeah, not only that you have been very calm now, maybe that's the effects of pregnancy huh.."

"Come to think of it, I have been a lot calmer these days…"

"By the way I have been meaning to ask this. But how did you get pregnant?"

Hearing the question, Lenta flushed red in embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Callidus who was walking around overheard the conversation and quickly ran to Lenta's side.

"Lenta!"

Callidus shouted earning the two to look at Callidus who was smiling brightly at them both.

"What're you doing here Callidus?"

"Can't I come? Besides I have a huge question for Lenta! Lenta can you tell me how you got pregnant?"

"This is a huge question of mine, if our tribe learns the process of creating children then we can increase our overall population, not only will it ensure our survival, we can guarantee the future of our tribe!"

"Now please Lenta answer the question, Dux wouldn't answer the question even though I pleaded many times with him.."

"Wel…I…we…um…..ah….."

"Come on Lenta spill it out!"

Facing the two who had curious expressions on their face, made Lenta confused as to what to say.

"Ummm…"

….

There were exactly 8 small huts for the goblins, two of the goblin lived together, and the 8th hut was for the Chieftain.

For the goblins, the small hut was already huge and amazing. In the small hut, it had one room, which was the bedroom in which the goblins created per Hnung's orders since he could do it. The bed was just stuck on the wall.

Now Hnung with Mae and Thirak who has finished the well helped one another in creating the bigger huts for them to fit.

The ogres had a lot of stamina plus their big builds they could easily finish many tasks. Not only that the chieftain was also racking up the tanning skill. He was still tanning the boar skin though.

Phi and Chay were also busy cutting trees.

The ogre tribe was slowly improving their living quarters in just a day.

As they continued their work, time passed by quickly. It was already night, they only managed to create one big hut.

The ogres decided to sleep in there, everyone was tired but Hnung still decided to cook. Their bonfire was bigger and on the side were rocks. They were roasting meat that Mae and Thirak had caught.

The goblins were very happy with their new homes.

"I have finished it!"

Phuna with his old body ran to everyone holding many garments. Since the goblins were slim, they all held a skin that Phuna had created.

The deerskin and boar skin and rabbit skin were able to create top clothing for the goblin woman and a cloth to cover their private parts.

Now the goblins have clothing, they all glanced at one another.

"Umm, chieftain…you should have made clothes for Mae and the others instead of us.."

"Yeah, chieftain…"

The goblins spoke up one at a time.

"Everyone, I have tasked the chieftain to make you clothing first…"

Cedric spoke and the goblins looked at one another again.

"Apostolos, we would have been much happier if Mae, Thirak, Phi, and Chay were the ones giving proper clothing first..."

"Yes, Apostolos they are the ones who need clothes like this than us…"

"Everyone, Hnung, and the other ogres chose to choose you to wear proper clothing since you are weaker and your cold resistance is weaker than theirs. Wearing these clothes will warm you up at night, the ogres have firmly requested this.."

The goblins held the clothing, and they bowed their heads at Thirak and the other.

"Truly, you always think of us, we know that we are far weaker in terms of combat and hunting, that's why we are truly blessed to have everyone to always put us first…but for once we want you to think of yourself as well…"

"No need, your safety is much more important than ours, the cold doesn't have that much effect on atoms, so everyone should wear them.."

The goblins glanced at one another again and nodded their heads.

They went inside their huts to get changed, after coming out they were now wearing warm clothing that brought joyful expressions to the goblin's faces.
