Chapter 19 - Clearing the Nest

Souta, Tetsui, and the rest went to the place where he was born.

They stood in front of the nest and saw a group of Giant Toad inside.

"These toads occupied the nest. It's time to take it back." Souta said while looking at the toads. He's the sole survivor of this nest. He's the rightful owner of this nest.

Souta looked back at his group and said, "Goba, Gobe, and Gobi. You three will protect Gobu and the rest. Gobo and Gobb come with me."

""Yes, leader. We will protect Gobu."" Gobe and Gobi said at the same time.

Goba nodded at him.

Souta let Gobo and Gobe come with him. Gobo was level 9 and it's pretty close before he evolve. It's better for him to gain experience from these toads. Gobb was the weakest among the Goblins. He was just a level 6 Goblin. He need more experience to level up quickly.

Tetsui glanced at his surroundings and said, "I want to tag along."

Souta looked at him and said, "Are you serious? You're just a level 4 Ash wolf while the toads are level 5 and above."

"Don't worry about me. I can handle myself." Tetsui said to him.

Gobe walked forward in front of Tetsui and said, "Oi! You're just a newcomer! Don't talk to our Leader like that!"

Tetsui looked at Gobe with a dumbfounded expression. He don't understand a single words came out of this Goblin's mouth. He could only talk to Souta because both of them came to Earth.

He looked at Souta and asked, "What's this guy saying?"

Souta knocked Gobe's head and said, "Go back there! You do what I said!"

He then looked at Tetsui. "Don't mind Gobe. He's always like that."

"Gobe?" Tetsui looked at Gobe's retreating back.

"Yeah. His name is Gobe. I'm the one who came up with that." Souta said.

"Don't tell me you name all these Goblins..." Tetsui said as he looked at Souta with wide eyes.

"Yeah. It was hard if they don't have any name so I came up with this." Souta said as he scratched the back of his head.

"You have some pretty weird naming sense." Tetsui sighed and said.

Souta then looked at the other pup and asked, "What about your sister?"

"Her?" Tetsui looked at her sister and said, "Don't worry about her. She's fine as long as she stay here."

Souta observed the little pups and noticed that she was trembling. She was scared with Goblins around her.

He looked at Tetsui and asked, "What's her level?" He asked this because if he use appraisal she would feel more afraid of him.

"The same as me. Level 4." Tetsui replied to him.

"We'll bring her with us." Souta bent down as he picked her up and placed her on his shoulder.

Tetsui looked at this scene and he jumped to his other shoulder.

"What are you doing?" Souta asked as he looked him who was sitting comfortably on his shoulder.

"Let go!" Tetsui didn't replied and he just said. In truth, he just was to sleep comfortably but he also want to gain some experience points to level up.

Souta sighed and walked inside the nest. Gobb and Gobo quietly followed behind him.

He quickly used his appraisal and scanned the Giant Toads to get their attention.

[Whipping Giant Toad level 6]

[Whipping Giant Toad level 8]

[Whipping Giant Toad level 7]

[Whipping Giant Toad level 5]

[Whipping Giant Toad level 9]

[Whipping Giant Toad level 6]

[Whipping Giant Toad level 7]

The Giant Toads felt something and they quickly turned their heads.

Souta counted the number of the Giant Toads and said, "Seven. There's already seven Giant Toads and this is just the entrance. It looks like we will gain more experience points than what I expected."

He smirked as he slowly pulled out his sword.

Gobb and Gobo followed behind as they prepared theirself for battle.

Tetsui jumped down from his shoulder and looked at the Giant Toads.

"Let's go!" Souta said as he dashed towards the Giant Toads.

"Kill everyone!"

Souta shouted as he cut the Giant Toad in front of him. He was going to kill the highest level Giant Toads here and leave the weakest to Gobb and Gobo.

Putchi!!

Souta glanced at Tetsui and saw that he was helping the two Goblins. It seems that Tetsui was going to kill steal.

He then turned his head at the pup at his shoulder. He picked her into his arms. He don't want her to fall because he was going to use a little bit of his strength.

He slightly bent his knees and charged in the depths of the nest.

Boom!

He charged like a rocket leaving behind a trail of smoke.

...

In just five minutes, Souta and others already cleaned the nest. They killed all the Giant Toads allowing Gobb to level up. He was now a level 7 Goblin. Just four more levels and he would evolve into a higher life form.

Unfortunately, Souta and Gobo didn't level up in this clearing operation. The only good thing that happened was that his Stealth and Sword Mastery skill level up. Right now, his Stealth was level 4 and his Sword Mastery was level 2.

...

Tetsui looked at his stats and felt satisfied.

[Name: Tetsui Tsubasa

[Title:

[Job:

[Race: Ash Wolf

[Level: 6

[HP: 60/60

[Strength: 30

[Agility: 33

[Dexterity: 33

[Vitality: 30

[Intelligence: 28

[Mana: 60/60

[Skills:

[Skill points: 200]

He level up twice from that operation and that's a good thing for him. He was once step closer to his dream. To become strong that no one would bother him so that he could live a lazy life.

He looked at Souta, who was carrying his sister in his arm, and asked, "Say, what's your stats? I could only see your level with Appraisal."

Souta looked at him and replied, "The lowest is 73 and the highest is 96."

"Only that much? But your level 17, right?" Tetsui was surprised at his stats.

"Yeah. Goblin is one of the weakest monster out there so I started at the bottom. Every level up my stats increases by 2 when I was a Goblin..." Souta explained to him about the growth rate of Goblins.

"Hmmm... That's different from me. Every level up my stats increases by 5." Tetsui pondered for a while and said. He guess that the growth rate differ from every race. The stronger the race the higher the stats increase every level up. If that's the case then the difficulty to become strong would increase to a higher level. Just thinking about a higher being like Dragon would make him shudder.

"My stats should be lower than that if I didn't train my body." Souta said to him. If he didn't train to increase his stats then he was sure that he would die at the hands of the Greater Ash Wolf he fought before.

"By the way..." Souta looked at the pup in his arm as he caress her ash colored fur. He asked, "Do you want to give her a name? After all, she's your sister."

"You can do it. I just reborn recently so I still don't have any feeling towards my wolves family. Still if your going to attack them don't count me in. After all, I don't want to see my mother in this world die even if she's a wolf." Tetsui shook his head. He wasn't going to bother himself by thinking of a name for his wolf sister. He also wasn't fond of a pet. Even in Earth, he don't have any cat or dog in his house. Even if his family want it he would reject their idea of getting a pet.

Souta nodded at Tetsui's words. He also didn't feel anything when some humans burned down this nest before. He haven't even met his Goblin father. He only met his mother but the time was too short to know her better.

"Even if you name her, she wouldn't understand it. So, it's probably better to do it later." Tetsui said to him. They could only talk to each other because both of them used Japanese. Souta couldn't understand Soka because he don't know the wolves language. Likewise, Tetsui couldn't understand the Goblins.

"You have a point. Still, I will call her Soka for now." Souta nodded as he caress her fur.

"Whatever." Tetsui said as he lie down and closed his eyes. He was quite tired after the cleaning operation and he need to rest now.

Souta looked at Soka as he remembered that he used to have a dog back in Earth. Aisha was the one who bought that dog and both of them took care of it. Unfortunately, a car run on the dog and it died.

Soka looked up at him and she slowly closed her eyes. Her tail kept wagging as he caress her fur.

Souta could see that she wasn't afraid of him anymore. He smiled and turned his head. He looked at Gobe and Gobi who was bring Gobu inside the nest.

He opened his mouth and said, "Bring him to the room at the back."
