Careful Reincarnation Chat Group

This move is too dangerous!

Exploding like this... that's not the power of the water. I put less magic this time than in the previous test.

I really don’t understand.

I clearly kept my magic power at 30%, so could it be that I fired multiple shots in quick succession...

[Great Sage: Answer. Compared to Black Lightning, Black Thunder is more efficient—]

I didn't ask it to explain, but the "Great Sage" took it upon himself to explain. It sounds like the reduced range increases the hit rate several times, and the power also increases accordingly. Of course, with the reduced range, the amount of magic energy used also decreases significantly. The reason why the power is increased while using less magic energy than before is all here.

I mean, this "Black Thunder"—it might be a special skill. The same goes for "Black Flame," so it's best not to use it carelessly.

It makes me tremble with fear.

I'm glad I didn't test it on my own body, I honestly believe that. Even the "Multiple Barriers" might not be able to withstand such power.

Okay, let’s see how the ogres react.

"...Too powerful. Sadly, we are far inferior to you. But I am the future leader of a powerful race—the ogres. I have my dignity. What kind of leader would I be if I couldn't avenge my comrades who died in hatred? Even if I am not as strong as you, I will still seek revenge!"

"...Young Master, I am willing to follow you!"

It has the opposite effect.

The red-haired and white-haired ogres had tragic, heroic looks on their faces, expressions of desperation. They'd probably already made up their minds to die, intending to perish with me.

Although I have no intention of killing them, now that they are determined, it is difficult to suppress them without taking their lives.

no solution anymore……

It was true that there was a misunderstanding, but letting them escape would likely turn into trouble. "I'm sorry, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for misunderstanding me." Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the pitiful Ghost Princess called out, "Please wait a moment!"

The Ghost Princess - the peach-haired female ogre - stood in front of her brother's red-haired ogre, opened her arms and spoke to stop him.

"Brother, please calm down and think about this. This demon has such great power, but instead of attacking directly, he let the pig monsters attack our village. It's very strange. He can kill us all by himself. I am sure he is different from ordinary people, but he should have nothing to do with the enemy army that attacked the village..."

"What! But, after hearing what you said..."

The red-haired ogre was persuaded by the peach-haired female ogre and looked at me in confusion.

"Didn't I tell you from the beginning that this was all a misunderstanding? Are you willing to listen to me now?"

Steam billowed from the rock where it had evaporated. The sight of that horrific scene only added to the peach-haired ogre's words.

The red-haired ogre looked at me and the peach-haired female ogre again, and then finally knelt on one knee in front of me.

"I'm so sorry. I was pushed into a corner and misunderstood you. I hope you'll accept my apology."

He admitted that he had misunderstood and apologized to me.

Now the misunderstanding has finally been resolved and I can rest assured for the time being.

"It's okay. It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go back to the village first. Come with me. I'll treat you to dinner."

The red-haired ogre nodded after hearing what I said, and the peach-haired female ogre and the white-haired ogre also agreed one after another.

Just like that, the battle that started inexplicably finally came to an end.

*

The peach-haired ogre seemed to have lifted the sleeping spell, and the Knife Goblins woke up one after another.

He didn't wake up even though there was such a noise just now. This shows how powerful this sleeping magic is.

I also untied the "sticky wire" on the purple-haired female ogre and applied recovery medicine to the unconscious blue-haired ogre.

As for the black-haired ogre who was paralyzed, he didn't know what to do. Fortunately, his unique skill "Mutator" could easily separate the paralysis effect, so the problem was solved.

Originally, it would have required magic or medication. I used the "paralysis spray" without thinking, but I'll have to find a solution before using these kinds of skills.

I reflected on this in my heart.

Everyone was fine, so we went back to the village together.

Just before I left, those guys said they were going to have a banquet, and sure enough, the food that day was quite luxurious.

As expected of Rigurdo, he was not careless in preparing for the banquet.

I'm not hungry, but I've been looking forward to it since early morning.

I've done a lot of exercise, and I'm looking forward to enjoying the long-lost taste experience.

Just like that, I took a bite of the freshly grilled meat.

Delicious!

I was so moved that I almost cried.

I was worried about the seasoning, but they'd whipped up a few different juices as dipping sauces. Apparently, their sense of taste has developed since evolving into the Blade Goblin. They're learning from their mistakes and experimenting with different combinations.

Is this a monster called a cow-deer? It's delicious grilled without any sauce, but adding all sorts of juices to it takes on a whole new flavor.

The juice just removes the fishy smell of the meat, making it taste especially delicious.

The Goblin Lord Relina, who is in charge of the food inventory, and the chef Haruna explained the above to me.

Under their urging, I ate a lot of meat. I haven't eaten like this for a long time. I was so happy.

【Perspective turns back】

To sum up, Qiu Wenjian has been playing the invisible man and has not participated much.

Because there is no need. Rimuru can solve all the problems, and Qiu Wenjian is waiting. He is waiting for another opportunity.

The opportunity in the Dwarf Kingdom had been missed, and it couldn't be blamed on Qiu Wenjian. It was the first time he had accurately located the main god space between worlds. Other organizations that were independent of the main god space were mostly groups, except for the chat group owner.

After searching outside the world, Qiu Wenjian once again felt how powerful the group owner of the previous chat group was.

"Hmm? Qiuqiu, aren't you going to eat? You've been in a daze for quite a while."

Rimuru patted Qiu Wenjian, and Qiu Wenjian also shook off his messy thoughts.

Don't rush.

"Well, it tastes good. But, now that you can taste the food..."

Chapter 339 Chapter 24 I'm sorry for the excessive word count

[For special reasons, this changes to Rimuru's perspective again (I'm just adding more words, please refresh and read again in a couple of days, I'm so sorry...)]

To be honest, Qiuqiu’s cooking skills are really amazing.

I don't know where he got these kitchen utensils that couldn't possibly exist in this world or the original world, and I don't know where he got these raw materials from, but in the end he made glowing dishes.

But it was really delicious and moved me to tears.

That’s all for now.

After the encounter with the Great Ghost Tribe, they calmed down the next day and were willing to have a good talk.

The conversation took place in a small wooden house built on the previously burned square.

Miru, the third of the three dwarf brothers, was very good at recreating the design I drew on the wooden board.

I used to work at a construction company, so I'm pretty good at drawing. I use charcoal to draw on a wooden board, write down the dimensions and other details, and then hand them over to Mirud. I can do this thanks to my flexible body and my unique skill, "Great Sage." Using the drafting tools the dwarves brought, I create designs more detailed than anything a computer could draw.

Not only these simple cabins, but even high-rise buildings are not a problem. The design drawings can be drawn by hand in no time.

Mirude couldn't help but admire the designs, saying they were very easy to understand. It seems my style is more approachable than the designs in this world.

Of course, my native world is ridiculed as an urban jungle, and the buildings here are simply child's play when placed next to the skyscrapers.

The Dwarven Kingdom has many magnificent buildings, but the technology still needs improvement. If I get the chance one day, it would be fun to build a super-tall skyscraper in this world.

Oops, I digress.

While walking, I did not forget to confirm whether the interior decoration met the requirements, and then I led the ogres to the reception center.

The ogres followed me quietly. It seemed quite novel to them, and they kept looking inside. However, this place hadn't been extensively paved yet, having only recently been built, so there probably wasn't much to see.

There was a large table in the reception room, with several wooden chairs arranged around it.

Rigurd and four other Goblin Lords have gathered here. Additionally, Kaijin is here as a dwarf representative. Including me, there are thirteen of us in total.

Ask me why I asked Rigurd and others to come?

That's because I think what the ogres are about to say is extremely important.

If something strange really happens in the Jura Forest, we can't stand idly by.

It's a headache for me to handle such an important matter alone.

I will implement the policy of "ruling from behind the curtain" no matter what.

Haruna prepared tea for everyone and brought it here.

She deftly finished serving tea, then bowed and exited the reception room. Although still a little awkward, she had already mastered a degree of etiquette. This was a major improvement.

I drank the tea quietly. It was bitter, but not unpleasant.

I have never cared about taste, but when I finally got the taste I had been craving for, I started to be picky about the taste.

It tastes just like the bitterness of matcha, which is just right for moistening my tongue.

And that heat. Even though I have the Heat Negligence skill, I can still taste the heat.

Interesting.

The ogres also began to drink tea.

I waited until they calmed down before I started questioning them.

When asked why they came here, they replied, "We fled here to revive our tribe."

They say they want to revive our tribe, but it seems like there's more to it than meets the eye. This is definitely going to be a long story.

Being able to annihilate the ogres, that force must be a threat.

Even a single individual ogre could surpass B-rank. Yesterday's battle had proven this.

The ones in front of me are particularly powerful.

They are the overlords of the forest. They are said to be the most powerful monsters in the forest...

Anyway, let’s listen to what they say first.

*

The ogre's words are summarized as follows:

War came, and the ogre horde was badly defeated.

That’s it in a nutshell.

When I was fighting the Flame Giant in this village, the ogres seemed to have been caught in the fight as well.

Who dared to attack the ogres, the highest race in the forest? And even defeated them...

The others seemed shocked when they heard this.

Everyone's expression grew serious.

"They suddenly came and attacked our village. They were very strong... Those guys—they were damned pigs, pig-headed orcs!"

The red-haired ogre roared in rage. The ogre village was attacked by an army of orcs.

Monsters, unlike humans, don't have the habit of issuing challenges in advance. Therefore, there's nothing wrong with attacking others unexpectedly.

That being said, it's odd for orcs to attack ogres.

The reason is simple, the racial strength makes the strength gap between the two sides huge.

Orcs are ranked D. Stronger than the Imps, but no match for the veteran adventurers.

In contrast, Ogres are above tier B. Generally, you can tell who will win or lose before the fight even begins.

Yet these weaklings invaded the villages of the strong and returned victorious...

The ogre further explained.

Their settlements are larger than so-called villages, where several tribes gather and live together.

That is, a battle group consisting of about 300 B-level monsters.
