Chapter 17 Part 2 – Let’s Make a Cave!

『…Slow』

「This guy is bad.」While the Orc was saying something with a grump voice, I pointed my finger to all of the curent bells.

While the Orc was saying something in grumpy voice, I pointed my finger to all of the curent bells.

(俺は全ての現況であるベルに指を指した)

『Well, it is what it is! Jed is who I’m sticking to!』

Noisy.

Although I’m just a little unfamiliar with earth magic, I dislike small places because the effectiveness of magical power is not that great. Even with my pride as a Japanese did not allow me to compromise. Well, it can’t be helped anyway.

『Oh well, just come in』

The Orc sighs, then it enters the cave.

What?

Soon, the goblin and I resumed back to playing around with one another.

Bell and I continue after the Orc, with no permission from the Orc.

By the way, Gigi and Zab are currently catching food by themselves. Well, guessing that it isn’t easy to take three moments of time away, the goblins have a life as well.

『Yeah, it’s definitely okay. I wonder if we should keep this around as well.』

「I won’t do it anymore.」

『That’s it!』

Of course, there was no after-sales service.

『Oh, hello Jed.』

『Isn’t it Jed? You’re taking care of our refurbishments, thanks!』

As I went to the back, two of the Orc’s wives came up to me with a greeting.

「Hello… No, since you guys are in trouble, I will lend a helping hand.」

It seems to be the goblin that I took without permission. Oh well, I do hope that it will be a good target for practicing magic.

『Oh yeah, go help each other.』

「You don’t say.」

『Well then, can you make a big stand here?』

「What is the shape for?」

『Oh, well, it’s for cooking. Wait, what shape is it?』

『You, didn’t you say that the cooking table was shaped round?』

『It’s useless. Because we asked for you to be here, you have to think about what you want to do with your room!』

『Oi, I understand.』

The unreliable owner’s husband retracted pitifully to the back. Is the kitchen a woman’s territory in the world of orcs?

『Sorry. My husband and I don’t know cuisine and I don’t know much at all.』

『I really won’t be able to rely on that. Can I ask for a big round table?』

『I didn’t use large stones until yesterday, because they were hard to use.』

The wife with a bit of gentle manner of speech puts her hand towards her face in a troubled manner.

It must be quite difficult to use a big stone. Even more difficult if you consider that the Orcs are giants.

「Well then, I’ll try it anyways, as I can change the size to whatever you want it to be.」

『I’m saved』

『You’re too good for a human.』

『【Ald・Create】』

As they said so, it was shaped into a round table while the rocks could be seen.

『Well, it is amazing!』

『This is useful, is it not?』

『Can I get it a bit higher?』

「Oh, yeah yeah.」

『Can you make a little smoother, around here?』

「I’m not good at fine adjustments yet, but I will do my best.」

『If only we had magic… Ah, can the ground be smoother here as well? It’s rugged and difficult to walk there.』

「OK.」

Like this, it really looks like I’m a renovation contractor.

TL/N: I’m back after months of being gone. I didn’t realize that I never posted this chapter, and I apologize for that. But now that I’m back (hopefully smarter), I plan on spending so some hours a week working on the novel. Maybe if I have enough time, I could go by a schedule. But, once again, I apologize for the long wait.

The next day, I met with the Orc.

Today, I am coming to the forest to make the goblins’ new residence.

If I don’t go now, I’m afraid they’ll really come all the way over to the estate. If that happens, Gladys-niisan and Father would definitely kill them in a blink of the eye. If this happened, I would be quite guilty, so I decided to go over to them myself.

Although it will be refreshing, but now I have to go do my business anyways, so there is no problem with it. (Raws: さっぱりになってしまうが、今は行く用事もないので問題ない。)

『Tone down on the male voice!』

『I’m keeping the voice! Make your voice become more female!』

『Huh? What’s this? Females are fewer in number?』

『If it was, please make it louder.』

At the entrance of the forest, there is a group of voices called “Bird Strike” today. Apparently, it seems that the number of males and the number of females do not match.

I will receive solicitation if I pass through there, now. It would be very troublesome, so I quietly made a detour and headed to the rocky place.

The Goblins were already awake when I arrived at the rock.

They were sitting on each boulder and cutting logs.

『I did it, my weapon!』

A goblin whose face was shaped like a square, Gigi, raises a log.

『Let me see it for a moment.』

『Oh, that’s it. You’re determined to steal my weapon!』

『Who will steal?』

『I don’t mind.』

『… It is easy to hold onto.』

『You?』

『But where is the key weapon?』

『It’s just a log.』

『Hey! Return it!』

When Gigi had his weapon returned from Zabu, Bell rings his nose.

---

『…This smells like Jed』

『Seriously?! Has he already come?』

『We can save the trouble by picking him up.』

After all, the goblins did come to my mansion today.

I wonder if I am a little impatient. I am glad that they came soon.

『…Sung Soon… this one!』

『Jed!』

『Come out! Make our home!』

Oh, this time I might as well run in the opposite direction.

『Jed?』

『No way?』

『…that?』

『Again?』

Gigi and Zabu tap Bell’s head while saying 「Keep it firm.」

『…Oh, Jed!』

『Its Jed.』

『Oh, Hob… Jed.』

「…Just now, did you say Hobgoblin?」

『Did not say.』

「Oh well.」

『Please make us our home.』

The goblins said in a cheery voice.

「Isn’t this rocky place useless? 」

『Errr..』

『The cave is nice.』

『The place’s width is good!』

What I say that, the goblins look at me with displeasure. What is it that makes this rocky place seem good enough? There are lots of gaps and it seems like it is like my room and on rainy days, it seems to be a bit dull.

「Is the cave going to be somewhere else other than the Oak’s place?」

『It’s okay if it is a bit far from there.』

『I got permission from the Orc.』

「I don’t mind that.」

『Well, good if you would start!』

『『No!』』

「To the house, only?」

I steadily start walking, walking behind the goblins. It seems that there are no powerful demons here either. It is safe if you have goblins around. Although, it would be nice if they had magic and ran away.

Using a road similar to the previous one, it took an hour. Especially without trouble once I arrived at the destination. It wouldn’t be a bother for Bell to hurt a boar by hitting it with another boar. Isn’t it self-sufficient?

「So, where is it?」

Its appearance was a rocky place, which was big. Because it is part of the same mountain of the Orc’s cave, it almost looks the same. Anyway, it’s a place that does not interfere with the Orc’s cave from the over the side. As it is, the distance is near but perhaps it is about 20 minutes away, diagonally, away from the cave of the Orc.

『The Orc has forgiven me.』

『You forgave me when Jed said that it was magic that he will use to make the cave even more comfortable.』

『Yep.』

「Haah!? Did you sell me out without permission?」

『I will take you away from the mansion if you don’t come.』

These goblins, I will use my strength to make their home. The Orc and goblin soon came to an agreement after negotiating. Anyways, I came right away today. Because the goblin and orc were storming to the mansion.

「Anyways, will you leave this place and go to the Oak’s?」

『Okay, okay! I beg you.』

「【Rozeld・ Vale】」

Intermediate Earth Magic. The spell was smoothly chanted. Then, a large hole appeared on the rock surface, carving out the rocky surface. Reality is truly rewritten by the power of magic.

『『『Ooooooooooo! Awesome!』』』

This won’t collapse, right?

To avoid any chances of it collapsing, I compress the magical power together with the wall.

In reality, I really wanted to tell the trick to the Gillion-niisan, but Gillion-niisan. Although I am a bit tired, I managed to shape the cave.

The goblins raise their voice in delight and enter the cave.

『Ceiling height, yeah!』

『Wide enough, yeah yeah!』

『George – Ho! It’s kind of sandy.』

That’s right. It is a place where I broke the cave open with magic.

『【Tim・Flewen】』

Beginner magic of the wind. A magic that is often used for room ventilation. Even at home, Gillion-niisan used it too. A gentle like breeze enters the cave and blows out the sand all at once.

Wow, the wind came to me, going up and up.

『Hey, Jed! The sand has gone away.』

『So, what will you do?』

『I’d like a chair here.』

『A desk, also.』

『I hope there is something to handle the prey.』

『『That’s it!』』

The goblins quickly huddle together to talk about the ideal space. Even though I am the one is making it all.

It was afternoon once I was finally released from the goblins’ cave building

---

TL: It went from a three-part chapter to a full chapter then to a two-part chapter. I plan on going back to the previous chapters and correct any errors I may have made to make them flow a bit better with less confusion.

Happy Late Easter!

「Why did you kick out the goblins?」

『Why would you ask such question? We demons are ruled by strength. A strong guy survives, a weak fellow dies. Isn’t it something that’s obvious?』

He speaks to me in a heavy voice. I felt like saying 「Are the humans the same?」

「Yeah… I know that. Human beings are the same way.」

This time, the Orc used it’s power to obtain a pleasant environment and took away the cave.

『It is bad for the goblins, but it seems that the children will be born soon.』

「That’s right.」

When the Orc heard my words, it stood up.

『I’m going to eat soon, we must prepare.』

Footsteps sounded out and the Orc starts walking into the cave.

「Can I ask you a question?」

『What?』

In response to my words, the Orc stops walking and turns around. I have to ask this question, even for me and the villages. If there is the ability to have the chance of chatting, I would like to negotiate.

「Are you going to attack our village?」

『There is nothing. There is enough food here and there is no merit. To attack the village of man, it is not as long as it is not too much.』

「I am relieved. If you ever see a human in the forest, I do not want you to attack.」

『…If the human does not attack first, then I will not attack the human.』

The Orc responded after a short while. Then, the Orc walked around

『Have you finished talking?』

『Let’s go quickly.』

『From now on, we will build our house』

I noticed the Goblin was beside me. Apparently, it seems he got over the shock.

But, when I looked at the sky, the sun is setting. The evening will be coming soon and the sun will be down. I will worry my mother with my lateness, so I have to go home.

「It’s too late today, tomorrow will do.」

『『『Eeeeh! Is it?』』』

『Are you going to break the promise?』

「I didn’t say today.」

『Dirty!』

「I will get angry if I don’t go back to the mansion.」

『Hobgoblin!』

『Is it not that different? Bell?』

I pulled Bell’s ear with my hand. I feel something… It looks like rubber.

『…I’m sorry. I got on a tune.』

「Anyway, I will make it tomorrow so please wait.」

『Hey, Sayaaaaaaaa』

『I will go to the mansion if you do not come!』

『Come to the rocky place.』

It seems that the goblins were convinced while complaining about Boobo.

And the three goblins walk in a line.

I chased the back of the goblin while watching it’s back.

「Wait! I don’t know my way home!」

『『『Oh?』』』

『Keep it firm!』

『Sherry』

『Follow me.』

It may be idealism, but I think that it would be nice to live without fighting with demons like this.

This marks the end of chapter 16.

From that, the orc calmed down and was able to somehow understand the human being.

Now, we are talking to each other without hostility.

The Goblin is sitting downstairs from a little while ago. Apparently, this orc seems to be shocked by having two brides.

I’m not shocked when I say it. Rather, I admire the orc’s polygamy. If they were human beings, they would be sitting in a triangular formation in the corner, just like a goblin

『I was surprised that there was a human being who can truly talk with demons.』

「Well, I was also surprised to have this ability.」

『All Language Comprehension』is an ability I gained from Goddess Meria.  At first, I thought that the ability would only be possible to understand and speak the human language. Instead, it turned out that it applies to animals and demons.

The definition of animal is very vague.

First of all, animals are classified as vertebrates and invertebrates.

For mammals, they are humans, monkeys, hippos, elephants, whales and so on.

The birds are cranes, penguins, chickens, etc.

There are also many other reptiles, amphibians, fish to micro-organisms.

What is the definition of animals and plants among those? Even if it is said, I do not know at all. Even Japanese biologists would not be able to say it correctly.

There is no such definitive and correct answer that such biologist can confidently say.

In such circumstances, looking back on what has happened so far, I have understood.

First, you cannot hear the voice of insects. Insects are creatures moving around themselves and should be classified as insects of arthropods. Even so, my voice would not be able to translate. The ability also does not apply to micro-organisms and fish. In general, this ability would make life difficult if you could hear every animal.

For instance, if you walked and stepped on a small insect then go to the waterfront, you would hear countless of fish’s voices.

I think the ability is making the judgments in my mind liable.

Perhaps you might hear them if you could hear their voices.

But, I do not want to hear that. Sometimes, it would be hard, having to spend so much time listening to the world.

The ability may respond to such — my heart — and set a range.

『What’s wrong?』

Looking at me quietly in the middle of the story, the Orc made me wonder.

「Nothing, how well is my dialogue capability?」

『Good, can you talk with the animals?』

「Yeah, but I have never talked to fish or insects.」

『I do not quite understand the details, but I would not be able to be sane if I could hear the voices of all living things.』

「I guess that’s why. By the way, what about the conversations of demons?」

『Are we you? You may not understand the words of the animals, but you can understand the words if they are monsters? Whether it’s against you or not, depends on each person’s character.』

Orc laughed and added 『I have actually kicked the goblins out of the cave.』

It seems that it is common to not listen to the words of demons who are lower than them.

Sorry for taking so long, I can’t spend as much time MTLing and editing on schooldays. Part 2 should come out shortly (maybe an hour or two) or tomorrow if nothing comes up.

『Dear! Are you alright?』

『Dear!』

『…I’m okay dear, there’s no problem.』

From the back of the cave, you can hear the voice of a woman and an orc.

「…Dear?」

『『『Dear?』』』

We all tilted our heads.

When you see it, from the back, two orc rush to worry about the orc that was twisted. Its appearance is similar to the first orc, but the fangs are shorter and the body is small. It is probably a female from the voice, maybe a companion?

『…You’re that human being.』

『Woah, it’s true.』

『Oh! As I thought, it was a human. But, if you look closely enough, you can see that it is different from a hobgoblin’s magic 』

『『You didn’t notice?』』

『No, I didn’t notice such thing.』

「Wherever you look, I’m a human!」

When hearing my voice, all three of the orc’s eyes become wide open all at once.

『That, that’s a human voice!』

『I definitely heard it.』

『At first I understood the words, so I thought the goblin had talked to me』

『『I understand that human’s voice!』』

『…Maybe we… Orc King?』

『You wish!』

『You!』

『You did it! We could be an orc king! 』

Despite being in front of us, they exchanged an embrace.

Why did you think it was a goblin, that first came a King? That’s already good.

『Yeah, I thought of it at first!』

『Yeah!』

『Ah, we were young before.』

The goblins gather their arms and gaze it with a warm looking, immersing them in sentiment.

What is『Yeah』

「No, I did it this morning.」

A low and heavy voice suddenly sounded out, we did not make a sound.

This is not good, this is definitely an orc.

Footsteps were echoing. I can hear only the footsteps now because the sun is striking at the entrance of the cave.

The ground continues shaking from the footsteps, it was possible that it was considerably a huge body. Then, the sound became louder and its appearance was exposed by the sun.

A big fang that seems to pierce through a heinous heaven, was on a big nose. It reminds me the face of pigs and boars, and the skin is gray like an image*. A giant over 2 meters tall and a weapon like a club bar that was machined from stone is held in their hand.

(I’m assuming a black and white image)

If you receive a club from that big body, not even a big guy would be able to escape immediately. The beast itself is able to hold such an image.

(Didn’t know how to word this, but it means that the beast holds the image or appearance of being able to do what was described.)

What kind of presence* is it?

(I’m guessing it’s asking what type of person or animal)

And this aura… is impossible alone with people. Somehow, I agree.

『What, goblin? Did you come to take back the cave?』

We look over towards the voice, evident that we were lightly taken.

『It’s different. We are the guides this time.』

『That’s right, maybe I came to fight』

Giggi and Zab stated.

However, there is a strong possibility that we will not fight.

『Guide? Who are you? Did you bring anyone strong? Where are they?』

The orc boldly laughs as he looked around.

Hey, where are you looking? I’m right in front of your eyes.

「Here」

『… Ah? However, there are merely four of you goblins? Are you trying to make fun of me?』

「Get out! You damn pig!」

『It’s superior! Goblins leave this cave before it’s too late! BAH!』

Is that so… Does my face look so much like a goblin? am I actually a half human, half goblin? No idea… Hearing the orc call me a goblin so openly, made me become depressed.

My mother is a beautiful person, a genuine person. My father looks like a gorilla, but he a human father, maybe. My mother cannot be cheating on my father with goblins. I don’t want to think about such thing.

You made a mistake, you demon.

I challenged the Beginning Wind Magic with a quirky feeling.

「【Tim Shark】」

From the surroundings, the winds gather in the magic language that I chanted. Eventually, the winds intersect and create a wave-like motion with a roaring sound.

『Huh? Magic? Well, are you a hobgoblin?』

「No!」

The tornado is blown straight towards the orc with my shout.

The orc, which had been taken back, was defenseless and knocked back into the cave after being exposed to the tornado.

「Oops! I thought we were going to discuss peacefully!」

『『『Oi!』』』

「Well, that would be nice. It seems that I did not calmly listen.」

『Well, is that so? 』

『If you want to solve a misunderstanding, you have to do so without fighting.』

『Yes, yes. Suddenly letting go of the magic. 』

『Completely, it’s rare that what is think is right, is actually right.』

Giving wisdom to the goblin’s habit.

The adventure resumed once everyone’s stomach was full.

I treated the fish properly, stuck it to a wooden skewer then baked it. The goblins seemed to like it very much.

Whenever I baked the food, I felt something strange to those who did not think about eating, but that would pretty much be for demons and humans.

It would be a hard task if you tried to have a goblin that cannot use magic to create a fire. If it can be eaten raw, it is raw.

Well, there is a possibility that ways of raising fire have become known.

As I crossed the lake, the road became a little wider, making Oita having an easier time walking. The number of plants that make up the forest also increased, and the animals that saw the plants gathered around. It seemed Oita is lively.

Certainly, this place is a good place. It is rich in sunlight and food, because of this I am convinced that the orcs took the cave away from the goblins.

『Mother! A human is here!』

『Humans are scary!』

『I’m sorry.』

『Sure. Here, since there are tree nuts, let’s go get it. 』

『Yeah!』

Oh my, you can hear the voices of animals like rabbits and weasels for a while like this.

A little too lively as well…

『It’s about time.』
『It’s near the cave we were in.』

『Are you ready?』

「No.」

There was a scratch by an orc, and the expressions of the three goblins were serious.

With the tense atmosphere, we kept going along the road.

Then, a cliff with a rocky texture came into sight. Apparently, it seems to be a cave that I could dig a cliff out of. I do not know if it is an artificial cave, a cave made naturally or by monsters digging it out, but it is quite large. The height of the ceiling was about two large adults.

There is no sign of an orc at the entrance of the cave, are we wandering around the back?

「Where is the orc?」

『Is it not in the middle of the cave?』

『I do not understand, you can only see the entrance.』

「Since you lived there, you do not know where it’s at nor make a secret passage?」

It is a cave with only one entrance. You should take measures like that, it is quite confident in battle from the front when it’s better.

『Oh, there seems to be a tunnel that everyone made.』

『Well, I dug something.』

『Dug.』

「Oh!」

『『『But, I forgot.』』』

「Really useful…」

『『『Annoying!』』』

『Is anyone there?』

「……」

『『『…….』』』
