I know it's been a while for updating this, and I know it's not a long chapter. I just wanted to get this out of the way and be clear that I haven't given up on the story. I've been considering picking up Re:Tyrant also, so look forward to a new chapter of baby Tyrant Tatsumi in the world of Re:Monster. Also at the bottom of this chapter is the list of Characters for Shia, Maru and Ros along with the two wolves that were named in this Chapter.
Sidenote: I was going to have Ichigo evolve in this Chapter, however I didn't want to rush the story so cut it from the final copy.
I know it's not a long chapter and I know I've been uploading other new stories but I'm not going to make excuses that you don't want to here.
I'm doing my best here, please enjoy.
Day 10
Gob-Shia was a little confused at the addition of Gob-Ros and Gob-Maru, but happy all the same, she was definitely happy to talk with the other two not having the chance to talk to anyone apart from Gob-Ichi and Gob-Yama since she was born, the other Goblins not giving her the slightest bit of acknowledgement. Gob-Ichi was currently sitting on a stone with a piece of raw meat as he had the two wolf pups sit in front of him. He was at least trying to teach them basic commands. He'd never owned a pet before, unless counting Kon as one but other than that, not really. So far they were listening to his commands he could at least get them to sit and stay, they were quick learners. Maybe due to being a monster species instead of a normal wolf, either way they both seemed to have a strange intellect about them.
The two pups were bigger now, they didn't have the same growth rate as Goblins but it was definitely a quick growth rate. Gob-Yama had once explained to him that Goblins grew so fast because they needed to, to survive. Gob-Ichi didn't know how much truth there was behind that, but it might be a monster thing, quick growth rates and all. Glancing up he saw Shia lecturing Ros and Maru, she was trying to tell them how hunting [Horn Rabbit]s and how they had to be careful. Funnily enough she was taking the tone that he had used when instructing her. For now he'd leave it to Shia to get them up to a decent level unless he saw fit to intervene. He still wasn't fully sure on what to do with the two, Maru seemed to be more understanding than other Goblins considering what they had done the previous evening but time would tell. As for Ros, Gob-Ichi hadn't had much interaction with the other young Goblin.
Feeling a tug on his hand he looked down to see the two pups having taken advantage of his distraction, both had latched onto the meat he had been holding and was trying to pull it away from his hand. Clearing his throat and emitting a low growl the two released the meat and lowered their heads.
He had already gained the skill [Monster Tamer] earlier when he had been training them and just as he had expected, it had gone up several levels since. His own growth rate had to be abnormal compared to the other Goblins. Now that he thought about it, he had always had a rather quick growth rate in anything he did and excelled in a lot of skills, this was more prominent as his time as a Shinigami.
"Maybe that has something to do with it?" He mused silently to himself as he eyed the two pups Shia had yet to name, she really needed to give them names already otherwise he was going to have too.
The day continued on and it was clear the growth rate of Ros and Maru was slow, just like Shia's, they barely reached level 5 before they headed back to the cave with what they had gathered. One they returned, Ros and Maru joined them in their little area in the cave, Shia teaching them how to craft beds and clothing gaining them the [Crafting] skill.
As Ichigo lay in the furs, the two pups nuzzled into his side. He mentally checked his current Status.

A scowl rose over his goblin features, he was so far from advancing to a Hobgoblin. He wanted to advance quicker so that they could venture away from the Goblin Tribe, to branch out on their own and not be scrutinised for being different. Sitting up he frowned, glancing over at Shia, Ros and Maru. The two newcomers were tired from today's workout their status having improved immensely from what they once had been.
"Gob-Yama said that night time's more dangerous, well I've never got stronger from doing nothing." Ichi figured as he gathered his bow, along with his horn and went to make his way from the sleeping goblins knowing he could leave Shia with Maru and Ros, the others wouldn't try anything with them around. As he went to leave he felt a tug on the end of the pants he had crafted. Looking down he saw the two pups eagerly wagging their tails obviously wanting to come along. Both of them were currently of the same level as he checked them over with Analyze.

[STA]: 25/25

Well, Wolves were Nocturnal hunters so it might be beneficial for him to bring them with him. Nodding gently the wolves understanding followed him from the cave and out through the thicket into the night. Shia wouldn't be happy if she discovered he went out on his own but just because he evolved before her he wouldn't leave her behind.
"Since Shia hasn't made up her mind just yet, I'll think of some names for you two." Ichi stated looking down at the pups. He had thought about it for a little while since Shia had been so indecisive about coming up with their names. Recalling his history classes back at Karakura High he smiled lightly as he stopped and crouched down between the two.
"How about these ones, Fenrir and Cerberus?" Ichigo smiled, he knew that they didn't have any ounce of significance to the mythology of the creatures of Greek and Norse mythology but that didn't mean he couldn't name them that. Plus he doubted Shia was going to come up with any worthwhile names. Glancing at the two one more he activated Analyse once more.

"Alright, let's go you two." With a yip of confirmation the two followed Ichi out into the darkness of the woods. That night, Ichigo didn't hold back anything. Whatever monster he came across he brought his all to bring it down. Fenrir and Cerberus were right alongside him growing at a slower pace but that didn't stop them from reaching higher levels. By the end of the night, Ichigo had reached a much higher level.
