That time I got reincarnated as an Oni

Chapter 24 Princess's Bodyguard

 It was day after Shiva brought Dire Wolves, now Tempest Wolves and Blood Hounds, into the fold of New Ogre Village. They were already send out to hunt and protect the ogre territory, thanks to that even more ogres were able to train under Hakurou. He trains them on Benimaru's order as he suspects that they will run into Orcs sooner or later.  

 Goblins also started to adjust to their new home, male goblins help in construction of houses while females helped in the kitchen and tented to the wounded, few goblins even joined other ogres in their training. But Shiva could feel the tensions between Goblin Tribe and his Wolf Tribe, it were goblins who were the most upset about wolves being here after what they have done. 

 But aside from that everything goes peacefully for now and thankfully Princess was able to heal up quickly and join the tribe. Everyone was happy to see her again in a good state after they saw how wounded she was. Mothers of the children she protected thanked her and cried, calling her a hero. She was very embarrassed because of it but it did repair her confidence somehow. 

 Now Princess is in her own small kingdom where her mind can fly in the clouds and her hands do work themselves, village kitchen. Other female ogres always asked her about her cooking and how does she make everything taste so good. She was never able to answer because she simply didn't knew, it was a talent.

 Princess was peacefully cutting wild vegetables while humming quietly, behind her few other females, few ogre and few goblin, also prepared meals for men that should end their work in few hours. As Princess finished cutting, she turned around and rose an eyebrow when she saw all other five women that help her in the kitchen leaning on the counter , looking out dreamily. 

 Princess walked up and stopped behind them, she looked out into direction where they were looking. There she saw Shiva helping building houses, holding two logs with his upper arms while with lower pair he hold one upright while other ogre tied it down. His chest was uncovered letting others see his muscular physique and tattoos that cover his torso. She sighed quietly before gaining her attention.

"Is something a problem?"

  One of them, ogre girl somewhere around 20 years old turned to her.

"Not really, Princess. We are just watch something fantastic. Oh and by the way h-!"

"How was it?!"

 Second girl shouted while looking excited, the first one sighed while Princess's eyebrow rose.

"How was what?"

"Oh you know..."

 The first girl smirked and wiggled her eyebrows.

"How was it being carried in Shiva's arms?"

 Princess blushed slightly before walking up quickly to a herb shelf. So others saw how Shiva carried her in his arms to the village.

"A-And how should it be? Nothing special."

 All women looked at each other with a doubt in their eyes. First girl looked back at Princess and rose an eyebrow.

"Forgive mine tone of voice but...Come on Princess! It must felt good!"

 Second girl no older then 17 leaned back on the counter and hugged herself.

"Just by looking at him you can figure out that he is just a walking wall of muscles. His arms seem so strong and hard to touch." 

 Then one of the goblin girls jumped into the conversation.

"And did you heard him play on that instrument of his? I would never guess that he is so talented!"

"Oh then you should hear him sing! I heard him yesterday evening when we all gathered by the campfires. He doesn't sing much but when he does...he does it in such low tone it sends shivers into mine spine."
