[ Chapter X (10): "CLEAN THE HOUSE" ]
[ "Huh...?" ]
[ "What are you looking at...?" ]
Felix who's mopping the blooded ground could be seen looking to his side, at the confused Goblins; one who's impaled with multiple sharp weapons, and another holding canned goods.
The grumpy Felix who's grumbling to himself due to having to clean the mess the Black Rats and his Fat Goblin have made, instead became smiley bright in seeing the food in the clutches of his minion.
[ "Finally...!" ]
Felix dropped the bloodied mop that had gathered both blood, dirt, and blackened water and instead approached the second Goblin who's equally looking confused on what's happening in front.
He then kneeled in front of the Goblin and grabbed one canned goods— opening it, the aroma of it getting into his nose; and before he knew it, he was devouring the canned goods from one to another.
[ "D-delicious...!" ]
He could now die happy.
And fattened.
Felix slurped down whatever was left in the can, not bothering with decency as he has never eaten something so bland, yet so delicious before in all of his life. Having been starved for days.
With his figure having lost fat in many places, wrist being easily grabbed and tossed around. And sluggish feeling that permeated throughout his whole being. All of that and more slowly disappearing as the more he ate.
[ "A-absolutely great." ]
[ "Good job." ]
Giving a thumbs up to the Goblin who's staring at him confused, Felix then signalled for it to place the remaining canned goods— mostly tuna, some chicken, and some like sauce ingredients for cooking. Which he wouldn't ignore.
[ CACKLE ]
Doing what it was told, it tried to ignore the Fat Goblin on the side devouring whatever Black Rat carcass there is without hesitation.
Trying to not question the fact on how its kin became taller, and fatter in matters of minutes— not even half an hour has passed, and the Goblin has become like that. Eating many-many energy in the process.
The scavenger Goblin in slight envy narrowed its eyes to observe the fat blob of thing, and quickly noticed the ugliness of it. Before losing interest.
The latter on the other hand didn't seem to bother with the presence of the former, as it instead bothers more on eating whatever meat it could find on the side.
And in realizing it had eaten all the remaining Black Rats within the house, it became saddened by it before ultimately looking down. Still not full yet.
[ CACKLE ]
[ "Huh...?" ]
[ "Oh..." ]
[ "The thing's finally done eating." ]
Felix who's passing by noticed that the once Black Rat infested house of his, that is littered with both small and huge rats is now cleaned. All thanks to the fat blob variant of his minion.
The first of its kind, and also the strongest at the moment.
The said variant singlehandedly has taken down whatever Black Rat has gotten in its way.
Having also eaten them, having also not let a single one flee.
Doing that and more, as it systematically hunted all the rats in one-go, and guarded Felix without hesitation.
It is worthy of praise. Affection even.
So Felix in seeing it saddened thought of an idea.
Why not let the appetite of the said monster be satiated and clean the surroundings while it is at it.
[ REANIMATED FAT GOBLIN LVL. 11 ]
[ "Hey you, get out." ]
Kicking the ball of green flesh in what seems to be its stomach. Felix looked down at it who was silently whimpering on the side. And noticed it slowly looked up at him, almost the same size yet still smaller than him by a few meters.
And in seeing its ugly features slowly brightening up in response to what he said, Felix became slightly disturbed. Both because of its ugly appearance, and also because he feels like he'll be devoured by it if he doesn't become careful.
Thankfully, no matter how absurd the situation is. No matter how weird the situation gets. The Goblins, the ones Reanimated by his ability. They, they don't turn and betray the one who gave them a second-life. So that's comforting.
But still... Something is telling Felix to be wary of these things. Is it prejudge speaking? Or just plain hatred because he knows that they killed hundreds and thousands of innocent lives before.
Some he has personally witnessed through the window, and not being able to do a thing. He doesn't know specifically, but he is at the very least thankful they are subservient to him— three of them.
And one of them is now a blob of green flesh who's trying to stand up with great difficulty.
The Goblin on the side, who hadn't changed that much compared to the other two noticed it, and quickly came to help in making it stand up.
But failing due to the former just being fatter than fat.
So with a sight, Felix who's weaker, but has the height advantage took the blob's hands and pulled it up.
[ "G-go and clean the streets..." ]
[ "No eating human." ]
[ CACKLE ]
Doing what it was told, the Fat Goblin variant raced to the outside, not caring about the weird looks the porcupine-like Goblin is giving it on the way outside.
As it instead runs faster than both of them combined and quickly searched for whatever food it could get. Rat meat was good, but bland the more it tasted it, so it searched for another food supply.
Bird meat, Boar meat, Goblin meat, Snake meat.
It salivates in imagining eating whatever monster it could find.
Good luck to those unlucky enough to encounter the Goblin.
Felix could see through his destroyed door a dog, twisted with spores coming out of its body running from one end to another. Followed by a small fat blob of flesh chasing it, blood in its claws. Before finally.
[ RABID DOG LVL. 4 IS KILLED BY REANIMATED FAT GOBLIN LVL. 11! ]
[ +34 EXP! ]
And then another...
[ RABID DOG LVL. 3 IS KILLED BY REANIMATED FAT GOBLIN LVL. 11! ]
[ +29 EXP! ]
Then another...
[ RABID DOG LVL. 5 IS KILLED BY REANIMATED FAT GOBLIN LVL. 11! ]
[ +41 EXP! ]
With Felix, the porcupine-like Goblin, and the scavenging Goblin looking at this in awe.
Felix feels less compared to the two as he has experienced seeing this first-hand through the video imagine floating right beside him. And is currently seeing.
He pushed the image to the side, behind him where he couldn't see it, afraid that if he looked then that he would probably throw up what he ate. The stench of the room he is in is more than enough for him to handle.
[ "Okay, we're cleaning..." ]
[ "Here, you clean." ]
Felix grabbed the mop on the floor, and handed it to the porcupine-like Goblin who's still looking at the door. As he instead went to the slightly destroyed chair and eat some more, his hunger having overcome him.
[ "A-and you." ]
[ "Y-you arrange the furniture." ]
[ CACKLE ]
Reluctantly, they do what they're told.
