When I got back to the village, I had the orcs immigrate.

I gave them Gi Za’s old place, the one situated by the root of the giant tree. The area surrounding it is a wasteland, so it’s perfect for the orcs. After that, I made a simple agreement with that small frightened orc.

I distributed different hunting grounds for the orcs and the goblins. I also gave instructions on how to deal with the humans should they enter the forest.

This is how I separated the orcs from the goblin.

There is a lake northwest of the Great Heaven-Piercing Tree.

So I permitted the orcs to live off of the north and east banks of the lake there. This decision is something I made in order to create a breakwater for the humans entering.

With this, there won’t be any issues between the orcs and the goblins.

Aside from me and the noble classes, the goblins don’t have a way of resisting the orcs.

But even if it weren’t for that, I don’t want unneeded conflict. That would only serve to benefit the threat from the east.

“Is it really alright with just this?” asked Bui.

The small and frightened orc’s words were unusually impressive. I’ve always thought of orcs as brutes who always tried to solve everything with power, but it would seem there are also orcs such as this one.

As Bui nodded quietly, he let out a sigh of relief.

Being the Orc King seems to be hard, but I have no intention of taking care of him that much. At most, I just want him to stay clear of my way, and not be a threat to the humans.

With this, the door to the west has finally opened before me.

When I got back to the village, the cleaning was mostly done. What’s left was repairing the fences, but that’ll take some time.

I asked Gi Gu, who I had left the village to in my absence, if anything happened while I was gone.

“A messenger came,” said Gi Gu. “What?” I asked, surprised.

“A messenger from the tribes. I asked him to wait.”

The tribes? A messenger?

Now where have I heard that before…

“From what tribe?” I asked.

“Please ask him yourself,” replied Gi Gu, not knowing either.

While puzzled, I ended up having to meet with a messenger from some tribe.

◆◆◇

The messenger that was made to wait at the king’s house was apparently a goblin rare.

But although he was a goblin he wass clearly different from the goblins that lived in this village. If you were to ask what’s different, well for starters, he’s wearing clothes. He’s dressed simply, but he has a belt fastened around his waist, and is even wearing a pair of shoes.

But that’s not all that stood out. Beside him lay what was clearly a bow. Even though goblins are normally too clumsy with their hands, he’s able to use a bow?

The goblin sat quietly as he waited for me to take the seat of honor, then he spoke.

“Thank you for granting me an audience. I am a child of Gatsumi, Ra Gilmi of the Ganra Tribe of the four tribes,” declared the messenger.

Fluent speech and a dignified manner. He gives off the impression that he’s used to matters such as this.

“Let me hear why you’ve come,” I said.

I looked down on the goblin as I implored him to speak.

“Leader of the eastern village, please save Ganra,” requested the Gimli.

His skin is no different from the other rare classes, yet his intellect is clearly above the rare class. Is that because he’s from one of the four tribes? Come to think of it, didn’t he just call me the ruler of the east?

How much truth is there in the words of this goblin from the west? I strained my eyes to find the answer to that.

“Of course, we will give you an appropriate reward. We are willing to give you a young elven lady as a reward.”

So an elf has finally made an appearance. If I recall correctly, they should be situated at the back regions, so it shouldn’t be easy to catch one. But then considering the goblin’s reproduction, it’s probably necessary to capture a female from some other species. To have another settlement like the village we have here where the breeding is covered solely by the female goblins would undoubtedly require a powerful king.

“So what is it that you wish of me?” I asked him.

“Please fight off one of the four tribes, Gaidga,” he replied. “You are fighting with your fellow tribes?”

Is the west that blessed compared to us here who’re only able to barely acquire food for ourselves? But then again, there might also be threats of orcs, and perhaps even giant spiders deep in the forest.

“It’s embarrassing, however, the truth is that a curse has been cast upon us four tribes.”

“A curse?”

“A curse since ancient times. A curse that dictates that the one we bow to will be the king who will lead the goblins.”

Ho…

“I would like to help you, but this village is currently under repair.”

Gilmi opened his eyes wide upon hearing my words. It was as if what I said was out of his expectations. The goblin cast his eyes down as he seemingly began to ponder.

“Give me five days,” I said.

Like a string that had been strung, Gilmi quickly looked back at me. As I nodded generously, Gilmi bowed his head deep enough to touch the ground.

◇◇◆

“Change the name?” asked Gi Za, puzzled.

I lightly shook my head at the druid chief’s, Gi Za’s, questioning voice.

“To be more precise, I thought of giving another name,” I said. “…Exactly what do you have in mind,” asked the old goblin.

As I nodded, I answered the old goblin’s inquiry.

“The village has grown bigger. Until now I’ve given simple names, but from here on we will be confronting the tribes.”

My vague words left the two puzzled as they both tilted their heads.

“Why do we need more names when confronting the tribe?”

At the old goblin’s inquiry, I nodded and answered.

“What do you think when you hear, the child of Gatsumi, Ra Gilmi?” “As expected of someone from the tribes…”

When Gi Za heard the old goblin’s simple answer, his eyes opened wide.

“S-So that’s why.”

Gi Za’s face twisted into a smile. That mischievous smile of his doesn’t lose out to me. His smile is plenty dark.

Legitimate blood, a blood that can support a person. It doesn’t matter whether one is a human or a goblin, there’s a natural sense of respect for one who possesses that kind of blood.

Even I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard Gilmi name himself. Thinking about it now, I was honestly surprised that time.

But if that’s the case, then we too must play that card.

Whenever one speaks of the tribes, there is an implication of pride in the olden blood.

A lineage to be respected.

If I were to say it myself, I think the lineage itself carries with it actual power.

“So what are you planning to do exactly? Are you going to give the new name to rare classes up?”

“No. I’ll start handing it out from noble classes. First, I’ll give Gi Ga one.”

“…I’ll call him.” “Please.”

Gi Ga can’t walk, so I let Gi Za directly face him.

Gi Ga came as he pierced his spear, then he sat like that on the ground. Then place his one hand on the ground, he looked up to me.

“Gi Ga, I give you a new name,” I declared. “That’s…” Gi Ga hesitated.

“Gi is the name of this village. Ga is the name I gave you. Thanks to your achievements in this recent battle, I give you the right to a household. Thus, I grant you a last name.”

“A right to a house?”

“If you wish, I could give you a village.”

My words left everyone in shock, causing them all to look on wide- eyed.

It’s the proof of the weight of my trust. And I won’t give a last name just to anyone, only those with enough strength will be worthy of one.

As I explained, Gi Ga’s body shook.

“King, am I unneeded?” asked Gi Ga.

“Don’t misunderstand. All I’m giving you is the right. If you so wish, then you can continue to stay beside me,” I responded.

But as proof of his honor and power, I will give him a last name.

“If at all possible, please let me serve under the king,” petitioned Gi Ga.

“I understand. But for the sake of rewarding you for the power you’ve shown me, accept this name.”

“By your will.”

“From here on, you are Gi Ga Rax.” “I gratefully accept.”

In the same way, I named the others Gi Gu Verbena and Gi Go Amatsuki.

“By the way, King.”

After I had dismissed the noble class goblins from the King’s House, Gi Za asked me a question.

“What?”

“If you were to give me a last name, what would you give me?”

At that moment, a flash of inspiration shot through my mind, and I answered him with a huge grin on my face.

“How about Gi Za Za?” I jokingly replied.

It’s based on the same naming sense he suggested when we were thinking of a name for the gray wolves.

When said that to Gi Za, his face was visibly shocked as he went quiet.

“Ha ha ha… It’s a joke. I’ll leave the pleasure of thinking of a name for when you actually evolve.”

“Meanie king!”

“What? Even this is thanks to having a good teacher.”

I thoroughly enjoyed myself in this rare time of peace.

Author Note:

An opened path.

The master hasn’t been coming lately.

There’s no end to my loneliness.

He’s not here! Not here! Not here! Not here! Why are you not here, stupid master!

The red guy brings me meat, but the master’s nowhere to be seen!

I want the master to bring me meat!

I’ve been grooming myself everyday just so I could show my fur to master. Every day, I wake up, wash my face at the lake, drink water, eat meat, and groom myself. Ever since Chi and the others started being able to bark, master stopped coming.

Does master prefer Chi?

…No, no! Something like that should be impossible!

My fur, my body, the angle of my tail… no matter how you look at it, I’m better!

Sigh… It’s so boring.

So let’s eat for the meantime.

I chased after the small, white, fluff, hopping before my eyes. Effort is needed to maintain a soft and glossy fur.

I won’t go to master myself.

It’s master’s job to bring me food, and it’s my right to let him touch my fur.

That’s why I won’t go until master comes to bring food himself.

But still… I have to say… this meat that this red guy’s been bringing has gotten tasty lately.

I want to eat again…

I wonder if I’ll be able to eat as much as I want if I went over to master’s?

uuuU.

I caught the white fluff with the claws I’m so proud of.

◆◆◇

Before I knew it, my legs had started walking toward master’s place.

But as I did, I played with the bones of the white fluff from before using my mouth.

I wonder if he’d call me vulgar if he saw me like this. But I don’t care. The one who’s at fault is master.

If master had properly brought orc meat, then I wouldn’t be eating something like the bones of that white fluff.

Mn~ Still… It sure is fun chewing on the bones with my sharp fangs.

The taste seeping out of the bones is so delicious.

“Uu~”

Before I knew it, I was humming.

Ha, …No good. No good.

When I meet master, I need to make sure I properly show unsatisfied I am.

That’s why I need to bring the bone of this white thing, and t-throw… actually it’s not like I need to bring the bone that close to matter… right?

Then if I were to dig a hole, and put it there, master won’t see it!

Right! Let’s bring the bone right underneath master!

The green ones are the lowest in ranking.

The rankings come after that.

The blues one are a little amazing.

But the most amazing of them all is the brown one who is my master.

Of course, since I receive food from master, the next greatest one is me.

There are also the two-legged thin ones, but I don’t really get them.

Those so-called humans sometimes enter the forest. I don’t like them cause they like to bully us, but the humans over at master’s place gives us plenty of meat, so I like them.

As I thought those things to myself, I walked until I neared a place where I could smell master’s scent.

“Woof!”

But what entered my ears was…

The voice of my natural enemy!

◇◆◆

The gray wolves are my natural enemies.

That gray fur of theirs, and even though they were so small before, I can’t believe they’re now about half my size.

Unfair!

Master’s definitely feeding them lots of meat!

My ferocious howls have no effect on them either.

Look, those two are actually slobbering with their tongues out, and wagging their tails vigorously, while staring at the white thing’s bones in my mouth!

I-I’m not giving you any!!

The two gray wolves surrounded me from both of my flanks. Looks like they’re about to charge!

“Kuu~n”

I’m not going to be tricked by that sweet voice of yours…

But, at the same time, being attacked from both directions is dangerous! What should I do?

Ahh… What are you gonna do if you get your human-smell infested fur on me!?

What are you gonna do if I get the itch!?

Don’t play with my clean tail using your forelegs!

Don’t thrust your nose at me!

I know I smell good, but the only one allowed to touch this glossy fur is master!

Eei!

Take the white thing’s bone!

I threw the bone, the two grave wolves ran, and I left them in the dust.

I’ve gotten this far. It should only be a little longer till master.

I’m going to complain to master about those two’s bad behavior!

“Woof!”

When that sound entered my ears, I couldn’t help but look back.

The two gray wolves were running at full speed!

Ahh, master!!

I’m not good at running.

There’s an area surrounded by fences where there’s a lot of low ranked goons. I passed underneath those guys through their feet as I looked for master.

Master! Master! Where are you? I’ve come all this way, why won’t you show yourself, master?

“Woof!”

They’re near!

I can’t shake off the wolves!

I need to hurry up, and get on top of master’s lap now!

Here! He’s here!

There’s a two-legged thin one beside him, but I don’t care.

My special seat is free!

“Woof!”

Not good. They’ve almost caught up to me.

Master!

Ah, our eyes met.

What’s with that troubled gaze!?

Even I finally came out to meet you!

If you’re going to look at me like that, then I’m going to go----

“Woof! Woof!”

----Never mind, please save me after all, master!!

A magnificent jump to master! Followed by a splendid landing over the master’s lap.

Splendidly executed if I say so myself. Something on this level… surely the other two gray wolves wouldn’t be able to copy it, right--

!?

Just as I was happily thinking that to myself, the two gray wolves came jumping at me.

Uwa… aaa… wawawa!

Master, do something!!

“Good grief… What is it now?” grumbled the master as he caught the two gray wolves in mid-air.

…Whew. Do you see? The master is my ally! If you’ve learned your lesson, then you better give me the respect I deserve!

Finally… I have arrived at my harbor.

I rolled into a curl over my master’s lap.

Fuu… This is my time of bliss. One that others can’t change.

If only master would pet me while praising my fur, then I wouldn’t be able to ask for anything more, but… Expecting something like that form this master is a bit much.

Sigh… I truly am generous.

“Reshia, I’m going to train, so I’ll leave this to you.”

W-Wait a moment, master!

Didn’t I just arrive at my harbor!?

As I was picked up, I was made to rest over the two-legged slender thing’s lap.

“Take care of it, alright.” “Yes, gladly.”

W-What is this? What is this intimate atmosphere!?

M-Master… you c-couldn’t possibly be… cheating!?

Even though you have someone like me, you actually dared to bother with a furless, tailless human!?

Son of a b*tch!

You know what I do to people like you? This!

“You seem to be in a bad mood today, huh, Hasu-san.” “Uuu~!”

Humans… just like when they found me before, they look at you with a gaze like that of stone.

I hate you! You took master away from me!

Let me go! Let me go! Let go!

My resistance, fruitless, she carried me in her arms. Now that’s it come to this, I won’t be able to resist anymore.

“I know, I know… Let’s quietly watch over your master’s battle, alright?” We watched master fight as she held me in her arms.

Ohh, how strong, master. The lesser ones are being thrown one after another.

With my mood better, I didn’t hesitate to curl into a ball over my hated love rival’s lap.

Today was so tiring, too… I guess I should just go to sleep like this.

It would be great if I could play with master tomorrow.

Author’s Note:

A shocking revelation! The kobold, Hasu, was actually female!

To think the protagonist was actually too dense to realize it!
