My name is...
Tomokui Kanata!
Y'know, my name doesn't actually matter right now.
What does is the fact that on that day, in that moment...
I definitely died.
DAY 1
Oh-ho. Eyes open already?
What is this? How am I alive?
And who is this filthy green monster?
Let's see... I think I'll call this big one Gobkichi,
and you'll be... Gobrou!
Gobrou should be fine.
Couldn't muster a little extra effort?
Here, now.
No good... Too sleepy...
DAY 2
When I woke up the next day, I was surrounded by a bunch of ugly green babies.
And it seemed I was one, too.
Which is what finally convinced me.
I had died, and then been reborn as this green...
Completely helpless little goblin.
You can see why I'd cry, right?
DAY 3
It seems goblins mature way faster than I expected.
After a good night's sleep, my body had grown a lot bigger.
Okay.
Wherever this is, and whatever I am now, I've got a second chance at life.
This time, I'm gonna survive as best I can!
DAY 4
This will be the last food you get from me.
From now on you'll have to get your own food. Got it?
One sun and a blue sky, but it's filled with creepy birds...
And there are plants I don't recognize.
This really is a different world from the one I know.
Never seen the outside before.
I haven't either, Gobkichi.
Gob... kichi?
That's your name, right?
Mine's Gobrou.
Gobrou?
Yep. It's Gobrou.
For the last three days, anyway.
I teamed up with Gobkichi, the biggest of the goblin kids, for one reason...
To hunt.
Nice, Gobkichi!
One chases, the other catches.
Hunting's best with two...
Hey!
What are you doing, trying to eat it without me?!
We're supposed to share! Got it?!
After demonstrating the nature of our relationship to Gobkichi,
I was examining the horn rabbit to see if I could make a weapon from its horn, when...
GOBROU OBTAINED [(SMALL) CREATURE'S HORN]
What was that just now?
Yeah, fine, I get it.
Thanks, Gobrou!
Either eat or cry. Pick one.
DAY 5
This horn is legendarily good!
There...
GOBROU OBTAINED [(MEDIUM) CREATURE'S HORN]
There it goes again.
What does?
It's nothing. Come on. Let's eat.
YOU HAVE LEARNED THE ABILITY [ESCAPE]
- Escape.
YOU HAVE LEARNED THE ABILITY [ESCAPE]
Well, that explains it...
Absorption. That's the extremely rare ESP ability I was born with, back in my old world.
To put it simply, I can eat just about anything: iron, gold, poison...
And I have a chance of gaining the traits of whatever I eat.
Sadly, it seems like any other abilities I had in my past life have been reset...
Wow, Gobrou.
But having this one seems to have been plenty lucky as it is.
You should try it this way, Gobkichi.
- You should try it this way, Gobkichi. - Because in this world...
Because in this world...
There are plenty of monsters lurking with incredible powers.
DAY 6
You two are eating horn rabbits?!
That's amazing!
Is it? Uh...
I'm Gobmi!
And yeah, someone died the other day after being gored by a horn rabbit!
You're Gobrou, right? You really are amazing!
You're so smart, and cool, and strong on top of that!
Y-You think so?
What about me?
You're ordinary!
Good for you.
How about this, Gobmi...
You wanna come with us on tomorrow's hunt?
I do!
DAY 7
Sadly, it ended up raining.
We postponed our hunt with Gobmi until tomorrow.
For today, I'm going to check what we have in storage,
and see whether I can make a new weapon.
When I went into storage to find things to make weapons from,
I found a group of captive, human women.
It's pretty obvious why... not that I want to think about it.
You seem motivated.
This old-timer is Gobjii.
He held me up right after I had reincarnated and gave me the low-effort
name of Gobrou.
He's the elder of this cave.
You may level up faster than expected.
Levels?
If you go like this, can you see it?
GOBJII: LV 86.
- Level 86.
GOBJII: LV 86.
If you reach level 100, you'll be able to evolve into a more advanced life-form.
You'll be lucky if you're the one goblin out of dozens to manage that, though!
Goblins apparently age so quickly that this old man is really only in his twenties.
The youngsters from the village should be returning soon.
Then you'll get to see what an evolved hobgoblin looks like.
I wonder what kind of prey they'll bring this time.
DAY 8
Nice, Gobmi!
Gobmi as backup.
Me, fighting at middle range.
And...
Gobkichi as our forward.
Our three-goblin formation was working like a charm.
Th-This is good! Real good!
I've been eating nothing but fruit until now...
*ALL DISHES HAVE BEEN PREPARED UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A CHEF - This is so great!

Looks like this snake was on a whole other level!
What are you talking about?
And can I eat that head?
No, you can't. It's poisonous. You guys would die if you ate it.
It doesn't matter how ugly I am.
I'm going to survive in this world... in my second life!
DAY 9
DAY 9 - On my ninth and tenth days, we prepared our gear and did the usual hunting.
DAY 10 - On my ninth and tenth days, we prepared our gear and did the usual hunting.
DAY 11 - On my ninth and tenth days, we prepared our gear and did the usual hunting.
And then on the eleventh day,
we made the mistake of doing some spelunking, out of curiosity...
What the hell?!
Gobmi, you run on ahead!
Okay!
Gobkichi, get the shield!
Right!
Evil Eye!
Now!
That was awesome, Gobrou!
Yeah.
These taste better than you'd think.

And so, I obtained a new set of abilities.
Even the eyes are decent.
Good stuff!
DAY 12
It happened late at night.
Having my search ability active all the time came in handy.
I couldn't eat another bite...
Six of you, huh?
Hey! What's wrong?
Y-You okay?!
Oh, I was a little rushed, so maybe I didn't adjust my Venom correctly.
Sorry about that.
Now, to teach the rest of you a lesson...
Stop! It's okay, Gobmi! I'm not hurt or anything!
DAY 13
Gobkichi!
I'll take it from here!
I was still worrying about the attack from the night before,
when an orc we ran across became our first prey of the day.

Okay, Gobmi, Gobkichi, you've had your fill, right?
Let's take the rest back.
Here, eat up.
Are you sure?
Yeah. That's why I brought it.
Th-Thank you.
We appreciate it.
I would've never considered helping out the helpless like this in my old world.
Maybe it's not just my appearance.
Maybe something else has changed about me since coming here.

so I just swiped yes and went back to sleep.
GOBROU HAS RECEIVED [THE BLESSING OF THE GRAND GOD OF DEMISE AND ORIGIN]
DAY 14
What the...
I look the way I did before reincarnating...
Good morning, Gobkichi.
Gobkichi?
Then this is Gobrou?!
W-Wow! You two are both a lot cooler and bigger!
You mean to tell me the two of you have ranked up already?!
It hasn't even been a month since you were born!
Gobrou...
What's up?
I wanna see how much stronger I am now.
Should we go hunting, then?
Nah. I wanna fight you!
Too slow!
You okay, Gobkichi?
You're so strong, Gobrou.
In terms of just power, I'd say you have the edge.
Really?!
Yeah.
What is it?
We've got trouble coming.
Gobmi, you're there, right?
You noticed?
Remember that crossbow we made the other day?
Go and grab it!
They're the perfect targets to test our evolved strength on.
Let's do this, Gobkichi!
Right!
Using my Venom on Gobmi's arrows was the right call.
Without their leader, the Black Wolves floundered,
and without their usual teamwork, we made quick work of them.
This one must be the leader.

Military leadership?
No thanks necessary.
But I expect you to catch the same amount of prey you've been provided from now on.
Got it?
Catch the same amount?
How're we supposed to do that?
What's wrong? Dissatisfied?
Please, sir!
Please teach us how to kill!
Fine.
If you don't know how to hunt, I'll teach you.
And if you need weapons, I'll teach you how to make them!
Thank you so much!
You're a life-saver!
It's fine, get up.
We're all comrades, right?
Gobrou!
Gobrou! Gobrou! Gobrou!
- You're a really good guy! - Gobrou! Gobrou! Gobrou!
- And a huge help! - Gobrou! Gobrou! Gobrou!
Gobrou! Gobrou! Gobrou!
I don't know if it's an effect of the Order ability I learned, or something else,
but in that moment, it was like I could see the path I would take
in that world in right front of me...
I'll eat, and eat, and keep eating, keep getting stronger,
lead my comrades, and then...
DAY 17
Gob! Gob! Gob!
Four days since training started, and they've still got a lot to learn...
Uh...
Gobmi?
NEXT TIME:
