Day 44

I felt something with my [Presence Sensor].

Because the ability’s level had increased recently, the name of the species—though it’s only the temporary names I've given them—will be displayed if I've already come across one. If I know their real name, then that name will be displayed. Furthermore, it will indicate whether it’s an ally or an enemy. It was a handy ability.

Based on that, it seems that the ones coming over are Gobukichi-kun and two of his subordinates. I started to get up wondering if something happened, then I became aware of the beings lying down cuddling me tightly.

Because I couldn’t bring myself to wake the girls who were sleeping soundly due to the fatigue from last night’s intense orgy, I slipped through using [Metamorphosis] to not wake them up.

Then I exited the room made from thread and had a talk with Gobukichi-kun. According to them, three long-eared humanoids had come strutting up to the cave’s entrance.

Whether to attack, kill, or invite them into the cave was an important decision that needed to be made by me as the leader. Because they couldn’t make the decision themselves, they had the strangers wait outside.

This is exactly they should've done, their education was bearing fruit. If it was before I taught them, they wouldn’t have thought twice before attacking them.

For now I took out a bottle (filled with water from the lake) from my [Item Box], I quickly washed myself with the water inside to give myself the minimum presentable appearance and went to meet them. The strangers were “Elves (Tentative Name)”. It was one man and two armed women who looked like his escorts.

The three had fairly good looks, both the man’s ceremonial dress and the two women’s light metal armor were superior quality products. Taste and other things aside, it was easy to guess their respective social status.

Judging from their appearance, the rapiers hanging from the hips of the two women in the back were [Rare] class magic items, other than that they also had ring-type and bracelet-type magic items, all of them [Rare] class.

Unless you have the appropriate social status, collecting equipment of this quality is impossible.

Incidentally, although I thought “The adventurers last time had some nice equipment huh?”, most of their high quality equipment were goods looted from dungeons. It is inevitable that high level adventurers will get high quality equipment.

For those who don’t venture inside dungeons, you'd have to be rich to get ahold of equipment of this quality, that’s just how it is.

Their fairly high-handed attitude was another factor that hinted at their social status. Well, that might be a racial trait.

While suppressing violent remarks like “For someone who came along without making an appointment, they sure act self-important, let’s tear them apart and eat them.” in my heart, I asked the reason for the visit. It seems that we fell under their jurisdiction blah blah blah.

Putting together what they said over the long chat, it seems the main point was that they wanted my followers and I to become their subordinates—which appears to mean slaves by the way they're talking.

Also, “There is information that supports the inferior humans are preparing an attack aimed at getting the Elves’ treasure soon, and to make some preparation, we wanted to get some strong pawns”.

They concluded that I would be a good pawn, because I killed the original Lord of the Mountain “Red Bear”—which seemed to have become a rumor lately. Well, a black Ogre wearing armor made of Red Bear fur would stand out. The Red Bear had even preyed on the Elven hunters, so it appeared I was the most suitable.

The rewards they offered me were a large amount of food to be shared among the goblins and a [Unique] Class magic item and the two Elven beauties that came with him.

This is an exceptional reward for an ogre (according to Gobujii anyways).

Buying a [Unique] class magic item, even the worst of them, would cost over 10 mill
