Chapter 273: Equipment Update and Familiars I (3/3)

There was a wide open area up ahead where the cliffs have been cleanly hollowed out. It was as if a meteor had fallen here to form a crater. It was big enough that you could celebrate sports day here if you wanted.

Its a lot bigger than I was expecting. It seems to have been maintained to some extent too. [Ryouma]

The knights use this place for training and for camp. This place isnt under anyones administration, but it gets used several times a year, so it looks like its being maintained.

In the first place, Trelle Canyon used to be a giant magic testing ground, and even the Town of Departed Spirits that were headed to was constructed to serve as a prison and an execution ground. So there are plenty of places here that have indeed been touched by humans. [Schieber]

I see By the way, can I take out my familiars too? I make it a habit to bring them out of my Dimension Home regularly, and I can also get them to prepare lunch while we discuss my armor. [Ryouma]

I dont mind. Im sure even monsters dont appreciate being stuffed into a room all the time. [Schieber]

The other three agreed too, so I opened my Dimension Home and called out to my familiars. Theyve eaten outside plenty of times already, so they should be able to get out quickly. The first to come out was the Emperor Scavenger Slime.

Woah!? [Schieber]

W-What is that? [Remilie]

Thats even bigger than the slime I saw before. [Reinbach]

As expected of you, Ryouma-sama. [Sebasu]

Reinbach-sama and Sebasu-san knew about my slimes and the big slimes, so they werent that surprised, but Schieber-san and Remilie-san were, so I gave a simple explanation about the emperor scavenger slime.

I did see you take a lot of slimes with you before, but I cant believe how big the emperor slime is and how many they are. 10,000 slimes? Thats just [Schieber]

Its my first time seeing one in my life too. [Remilie]

Big slimes can rarely be spotted in the wild, but I dont know about emperor slimes. Would it be possible if there were a lot of slimes? [Remilie]

Meanwhile, the goblins came out from behind the emperor scavenger slime in droves. With their neat clothes, equipment, and the weapons and luggage they had on them, it was obvious that they were not wild goblins.

It was a sight I was all too familiar with, but the others didnt react like they did with the emperor slime.

Is something the matter? [Ryouma]

Well, this is also unexpected in its own way. [Remilie]

I asked for an explanation, and Reinbach-sama was more than happy to provide it.

The goblins are a cla.s.s society. The leader of the horde rules over everything. He has priority over the food, and everyone else eats only whats left. So the lower a goblin is in the hierarchy the more emaciated he is, and the higher one is the stronger. Thats why an experienced eye can tell from a goblins physique how much food they have, what cla.s.s the goblin is, as well as the strength of the goblin.

Most of your goblins likely multiplied under you. With how well built their physiques are, they probably have plenty of food. The relatively thinner ones should be the survivors of a subjugation job. [Reinbach]

Its exactly as youve surmised. They eat as much as a human would. Thats a lot as far as the standards set by the Tamer Guild goes, and they get nutritional supplements too for the sake of their health and physique. [Ryouma]

Because of all the food, the goblins reproduced like rats, and stronger variants would more likely to appear too. Considering the threat, it would be safer to limit their food intake, but as their master and as compensation for the help they provided, I gave them plenty of food instead. Ive been researching nutrient supplements as well, so Im curious if itll produce any changes.

I see, nutrient supplements I dont know what that is, but that hobgoblin has a physique equaling a goblin knights. Have they ever ignored your orders? [Reinbach]

Oh theyve resisted many times. [Ryouma]

The first time was about a weak after they reproduced. The new goblins became adults in no time, formed a faction and became selfish. Their parents, the eight goblins that I first caught, were obedient, but the reproduction and growth rate of the goblins allowed them to outnumber and overpower them.

It was looking like only the parent goblins could be suppressed, so I left an opening and killed them when they attacked. After that they started listening to me. The one at the top of their society is currently me. [Ryouma]

If my memory serves me right, you partic.i.p.ated in the subjugation of a large goblin nest. Add to that how you could fight Schieber on equal footing, so indeed, theres indeed no way you would lose to some new born goblins. Thats why you decided to make them submit by force. [Reinbach]

Yes. I dont know if thisll prove that, but [Ryouma]

The goblins that came out in droves seemed to be interested in the people with me, as they kept glancing at us. I told them not to lay a hand on the people with me no matter what, and

Gobu! [Goblin 1]

Gigi! [Goblin 2]

The goblins immediately and simultaneously understood my order, and after nodding to me and responding in their own way, they started preparing lunch. I dont understand a lick of what theyre saying, but their conduct is easy enough to understand.

As you can see. [Ryouma]

I see. You have them disciplined well. [Reinbach]

Yes. Im taking care since Ive already witnessed for myself how dangerous the speed of their reproduction from how they rebelled. [Ryouma]

I see Looks like there was no need for me to be worried. [Reinbach]

Im grateful for your concern, Reinbach-sama. [Ryouma]

Im confident in my strength and I have prior experience too, so Im alright, but if any other beginner tried to pull the same stunt, theyd likely either lose their life or allow the goblins to flee and hurt others. Its understandable why the guild would remind tamers not to feed the goblins too much.

Im glad you feel that way, but you really arent like a child, are you? It feels like Im talking to an adult. [Reinbach]

Reinbach-sama seemed troubled yet his words remained gentle. I didnt know how to respond to that, so I just turned to the goblins that have started to prepare lunch.
