It's been a week since I first came to this world and quite a few things happened. First, with the help of the slimes and the others, we began building a small little village we could call home. It wasn't as hard as I thought since the slimes could dissolve the wood to take the shapes we need and we had the goblins the dire wolf to help. There's also my abnormal strength and the fact I discovered I don't need to sleep. Second, I became level 9 with a lot of effort, and we went hunting without setting up an ambush me and Oppo but we didn't leave this area since there might be dangerous monsters in other areas. Oppo is level 7 now. As for the rest, they didn't get much action but they are about level 3-4. As expected, I've tamed everyone and all the monsters are now my subordinates, the leather armored goblin is level 7, which surprised me, and the dire wolf was on the same level. Third, I got some new subordinates, I have a total of 15 slimes(excluding Oppo), 9 goblins, and 2 dire wolves under me.

I decided to not increase the number of subordinates too much for now, since I don't want to worry about feeding that many mouths, happily we can use the meat of the monsters we killed that the slimes have been storing. Slimes are extremely efficient in cleaning. Monsters don't seem to care about cannibalism, so who am I to care? Even though I don't need to sleep or eat, I can still do those things, and surprisingly after properly cooked monster meat is pretty good. Oh, and slimes taste like sour gummies filled with sugar, some people would not like it, but as a sweet tooth, I absolutely love it, I feel bad for Oppo, even so, I can't stop eating slime as if it was some sort of sweet snack. 

Now, back to the small village, we build. It's got 5 wooden shacks, three of which works as houses of sorts for the three different races of subordinates I have. A goblin house, a dire wolf house, and a slime house, I know that a system like this will only temporarily work and that we'll have to build more houses later, but for now this is enough. One of the other two shacks works as a storage and workshop for me since I later want to try things like alchemy, blacksmithing, and so on. Lastly, it's mine and Oppo's house, being the third biggest shack in our small village after the storage and the goblin house. It has two floors. On the ground floor, there's a kitchen, a living room, a dining room, and a bathroom, while on the first floor there are two rooms, an office, and a bathroom. All in all, it's pretty decent.

The bathrooms are still primitive and there's no proper plumbing yet, but it isn't a big deal, we'll eventually figure out how to get that done.

For the last week, I've been focused on building the village and leveling up, so I didn't stop to properly work on my skills and other things yet, I've also been thinking about the biggest problem for my village right now. The wolves and the goblins don't like each other. At first, I couldn't understand them, but after taming them I could talk with them. I nominated the leather armored goblin as the leader of the goblin and the higher level wolf as the leader for the dire wolves, the slimes were never in question as Oppo is the only answer. Anyway, as we worked together to build this place I slowly began to realize there is some kind of amnesty between the wolves and the goblins, as it became clear they would have tried to tear each other and sherds were they not under my command.

I don't know why they hate each other, I've been planning to ask but I don't feel comfortable doing it... But I'll have to if I want to be able to at least get them to reach a middle term. 

*Sigh* I let out a sigh while sitting on the couch in the living room, looking at the wooden ceiling of the ground floor with my expression showing my clear worry.

Their discord makes it hard for me to make my plans work, I want to make the slimes work as gatherers getting herbs, berries, and the minerals in the area, for that purpose I want to first find a way to train them in stealth so they won't get killed by monsters roaming the area. As for the wolves and goblins, I wanted them to work together in hunting, guarding, and shouting teams, but as they are currently it's not going to work.

{Mummy Ezra, are you stressed about something?} Oppo came in as blobby as ever. Since she evolved, she has been become pink instead of blue and seems to have some sort of tattoo engraved on her body, it resembles a flower.

Oppo got closer and her form began to change as she grew from being a small little cute slime to being a young girl taller than me, by a bit. Her hair is pink, curly, and long almost reaching her feet, her eyes are rose quartz with a mysterious flower pattern in her iris, her nose is small and fits her adorableness, her lips are also small and have a pinkish color, even though she's adorable her face and is sharp rather than round, she has beautiful and smooth dark skin and long pointy ears, which made me realize how much resembles a dark elf which is the non-human race I have a thing for, so it might be my fault she looks like that. Her body is not muscular but it's also not frail, she's quite petite despite being taller than me and she's wearing a sleeveless black cropped top with a collar reaching her neck, and some tight white shorts while her feet are bare. Even though she has a small body, for her kind of physique she has some nice curves. Her waist is wide enough for her body, but her chest and ass are lacking, regardless of that, she's absolutely beautiful.

(AN: I'm starting to think the Author has something for cropped tops, kinda sus)

Oppo sat by my side and leaned on me resting her face on my chest that despite looking flat is very squishy, then she looked me in the eyes waiting for an answer.

I moved my hand and began to gently caress her hair while unconsciously smiling, her body was warm despite the fact she's a slime, probably because of the effect of <Shapeshift> and it just felt comfortable to have her snuggled up on me.

"I'm just trying to figure how I'll approach the more wolves and the goblins about their dislike of each other... But I still have to ask them why first... it's going to be an awkward conversation to have and I'm not sure if it's the right time yet." I let my worries out and even if I'm not sure Oppo will get me, I'm happy she's there to at least listen, as it makes me feel better. My voice carried some of my worries while my expression was just stiff.

I felt a hand touch my cheek before seeing Oppo looking at me with a reassuring smile. "If it's that, I'm sure you'll get through it. As for the why, if I'm not wrong the goblins and dire wolf were about to go to war, even though it might've already happened." She explained calmly with her cute voice, even though she sounded a little uncertain about it.

"War? How do you know that?" Even though I was impressed and didn't doubt Oppo, I was still obviously curious about the source of this information.

"First, I saw it in the memories of the goblin I consumed then, I asked that goblin with leather armor about it. Considering what he said, the battle might've already gone down by now." Oppo was telling how she get her information while she was also moving herself and went from laying her face on my chest to sitting on my lap with her head laying on my shoulder and her arms around my neck. Her movements were very natural and surprised me with how quickly she adapted to this new form.

Hearing her say that made me remember that I fed read that she can intake memories from those she devours, this might cause trouble someday... 

"Wow, my little beauty's finally acting actively. Makes me want to smooch! Good job." I praise her, then start patting her head, and she seems to like it as she glues her head to my hand but her now pouty expression says something else.

"No! Mommy Ezra, that's not fair! You can't just pat my head after saying I could get a smooch!" She starts complaining and I don't know if it's because she's a slime but she literally becomes a chibi while doing so, only adding to her cuteness. My heart can't handle it! If I was an anime character right now, I would have a nose bleed and a heart attack from this overdose of sweetness.

"Hahaha! Fine, fine." I move my head closer to hers until there's hardly 1 cm separating us, then I move to the side and blow wind on her ear instead.

A shiver goes down her body as she slightly trembles, then hides her face on my chest while blushing, she's adorable.

"Terrible!.... You're horrible!..... How can you tease me like that?!" She seems to be a little mad I teased her, but it's her fault for being this adorable.

"I would love to stay with you, but I have to solve this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'll delay it for too long, I've already let it go for more than I should've." I say putting on a serious expression, we can do that another time, I better take care of this matter sooner than later.

".... Fine, you're right. Can I at least come?" Oppo agreed easier than I expected with another chibi small pout.

"Of course, we are bound to be together... Even if we didn't want it, but since we do let's make the most out of it." I answered as I got up and Oppo turned into her slime form before entering my top to rest in between my breasts. Lately, she seems to really like that spot, well she actually wanted to rest in my pants, but I decided we'll get there with time, and she understood, she's a sweetheart.

Now that I know that they hated each other because of a war, things became both clear and complicated. I can't just go and tell them to forget that they almost killed each other's people just because they are under me now, I might not be a very good leader, but I at least don't want to be a tyrant to those on my side. The best I can do is convince them to not be at each other's throats... Hum... Is there a good way to deal with this?

As I was thinking of it, I moved from inside my house to the outside and Oppo was moving a bit aggressively in between my mounds. 

"Oppo, can you do me a favor and go call everyone?" I asked as I took a bit of a breath in thinking about what I'm going to say, and while I don't it's the best solution it's what comes to mind right now.

Oppo came out of my chest and went to call the others. It didn't take long for everyone to be standing right in front of me. Oppo now stood on my shoulder, probably because she didn't want to enter my breasts in front of everyone. 

"You might be wondering why I suddenly called you here today and my reasons to do so, are 1- I know of the hate between the goblins and dire wolves and we must discuss that, 2- I've decided to give all of you names because it's weird for me if you don't have names." I announce making it a bit more awkward than it had to be.

I could see mixed reactions, but it was mostly confusion and surprise. 

"So, to go back to point one, I would like to make an agreement with you. I will give you a wish, within reason, and you won't be at each other's throats. I'm not asking you to forget, I'm instead asking you to let it lay low for now. In the future when things are better for our place, I'll let you resolve this however you feel more comfortable dealing with it, all you have to do is wait it out." I say it knowing full well this isn't a solution and only slows things down at most, but I don't know how else to deal with this.

Silence filled the place for a bit and I was starting to think they won't take it. I could see that they were reflecting on it, after all, it's not an easy decision. 

"We the dire wolves have decided to accept Lord Ezra's proposal. We thank the Lord for your mercy."  The wolf I made the leader talked with a voice carrying admiration and seemed legitimately thankful, making me wonder what of this could be considered mercy.

Not long after the goblins also gave their answer.

"We the goblins have decided to accept Lord Ezra's offer. We thank the Lord for your mercy." Just like the wolf leader I could see some sort of admiration and thankfulness that I was wondering about.

"Good, later we can discuss your wishes, but for now. I'll be naming you. Starting with the slimes." I day deciding to start naming the side with the most individuals first. "Line up and one by one come here."

Just as I ordered they lined up and the first slime came to me.

"From this day on, you will be Blobone." I say shamelessly. If I have to give names to them with my terrible naming sense, this is the best I can do.

"You will be Blobtwo"

"You will be Blobthree"

"You will be Blobfour"

.....

Just like that I named all the slimes... I felt a little bad, but there's no way I could think of actual names for everyone, got to be real.

"From now on under the command of Oppo Gluttonous Talia, you will be the Talia Slime faction in the Talia Familia's Nitya Village." I declare. I had decided on the village's name not too long ago, at first, I was just going to call it Talia village, but then I wanted to give a more fitting name, so I went with Nitya.

[You have just founded both a Familia and a small Village. You have earned the title and the subclass Village chief. The Talia Familia now has ownership of the Nitya Village and surrounding territory. Please be ready to protect your territory, good luck.] A notification came up and surprised me. 

This sounds like trouble... But I guess that will come eventually if I construct a village. 

"Moving on, Goblins you're next." I say and just like the slimes, they line up. "From this day on, you will be Eliab, the leader of the Talia Goblin faction in the Talia Familia's Nitya Village." I declare to the leather armored goblin officially making him the leader of his group.

Then I proceeded to name the other goblins. 

"You will be Gobone"

"You will be Gobtwo"

"You will be Gobthree"

...

I moved on to the last ones.

"From this day on, you will be Jaeger, the leader of the Talia Wolf faction in the Talia Familia's Nitya Village." I make my last leader proclamation for the day and move on to the last wolf.

"Your will be Wolfson" 

Once I was done naming everyone, I gave them the tasks I was thinking of. Slimes will be gatherers but won't be going too far until they learn how to be stealthy. Wolves will work as scouts, while the goblins will be guards and hunters. 

Oppo decided to go with the slimes to take care of them as it seems she's taking her role as their leader seriously, so I just ask her to be careful not to wander off too far, even though I know she'll live, since I'm still alive.

With that done, I feel somewhat mentally tired. I wanted to start a training routine since I got to this world, but I was focused on other things and put it off and today that's going to happen again. Tomorrow I'll just start it and not think much about it, I can't laze out or I might ruin my beautiful body! 

I get into my house and go to my room. Inside I lay on the bed.
