It was quite a race but choice number 1 won it with 23 votes choice 2 got second by 11 and choice 3 third by 8 and choice 4 by 7 votes xD
================================================
I thought for a bit...listening to her couldn't hurt and making connections with people was okay but i needed to be as secretive as i could be if she asks me about my location i will straight out refuse her.
I ordered the slime to tap the stick in front of her which got her attention and made her expression a bit loosen.
-Thanks..
She whispered i didn't answer and just waited for her making her offer.
-You see we are in a very unknown situation and quite honestly i feel that trying to survive may be really impossible for us..
She gestured to everyone else who were also listening to the conversation between us...well not so much as a conversation but me listening to her.2 of the guys just rolled their eyes and moved away to explore the cave a bit more the third guy thou stood at his place i think he was the anyways the reason he stayed was obvious it was to peek onto the brunette.The other girls just stayed here and listened to glasses girl i could see who was going to take the leadership in this group.
-Thats why i want to ask you to help us...we will help you in return so please wait a second i want to finish...I want you to help us concerning the food and water problem we have right now i also want help concerning guard duty you see these slimes you have are honestly very useful and you may already know that seeing how you use them like as surveillance system yes i saw those slimes in the trees other then that i really want reassurance of these guys over there...
She sneakily pointed at the guy who was trying to sneak peek at the brunette but obviously failed on doing so even the brunette was openly glaring at him almost about to hit him...
I can see her worries but the problem is i don't do anything if it doesnt profit me for what would i need them ? i thought for a second...i could use them as fighting potential but in my eyes everyone but blondy seemed useless why ? Compared to blondy who had decent fighting experience in sword fighting skills and guts over all these guys were massive unknowns to me even the glasses girl could be a giant potential threat or just a big coward and even if i make them stronger somehow there is no way i would know if they would turn on me i wanted reassurance that they would not involve me anything no matter what happens...and suddenly i had a idea.
I ordered the slime to poke blondy for a second and lead her closer which she did and then i ordered the slime to write a sentence on the ground which both glasses girl and blondy started reading.

-You want sarah to swear loyalty towards you ?
-ehm what does that mean ?
Blondy asked a bit confused even glasses girl seemed questionable at the wording i used so i got more in-depth with my explanation.The reason why i wanted to make them swear loyalty to me was to see 2 things first being can i make contracts with other beings other then monsters ? As far as i know it never really specifically said that it needed to be monsters and thinking about it goblins are also humanoid and more closer to a real human so is it possible to do so ?
My second point was security the reason i chose blondy was frankly because i was more or kind of familiar with her and she had the most highest survivability among these people because she could heal she was smart in some parts and had fighting experience.
Glasses girl was thinking very hard i did give her a partial explanation on what the contract does and i even told her it doesn't mind control you but just transmit some of my thoughts and i could also never fully control someone through an order but they would never be able to harm me my class was really questionable because i could order the female goblins to run all day but they could have the choice of just walk and not running or take pauses while doing so but in the end they all seemed like they would agree to my order for some reason it was not because of mind control or anything more like they understood my reasoning on why i was doing it and judged for themselves what was right and what not.
Glasses girl massaged her template and looked at blondy who was sitting next to her she had her club hung onto her waist and waited for a answer glasses girl asked her then.
-What do you think about this ?
Blondy thought for a bit and said with a cheerful smile.
-If it helps everyone so why not ? Its not like its harmful to me and everyone could be happy with it too !
She said cheerfully...
-...
-...
Honestly saying i was sometimes astound from the way this merry go lucky girl thought if i make a contract with her would i always get those happy thoughts ? ughh somehow i may refrain from the idea of having her as a companion but i still needed to try.
The glasses girl sighed at the end and just nodded and said.
-very well but i have one condition
And that is ? i voiced in my head.
-No sexual assault !
I coughed very hard when i heard her say that...but at the same time it seemed very fair but i still facepalmed...i am not even into rape believe it or not i am more of a hopeless romantic kind of guy...well i want my first time to be precious okay ?! And no i am not a pussy i am just being reasonable its sex after marriage before that it will be only touching.

I just agreed writing it onto the ground there were only 20 slimes in this area 10 were used as surveillance slimes and another 10 as guards i will tell her that later thou.
First i wanted to try something quite interesting maybe i won't need blondy to come over my place letting her stay here can also be a option.
So i made the slime write onto the ground on how to make the contract when glasses girl saw the words she seemed really questionable but blondy looked at the words and just nodded and cleared her throat her demeanor seemed really serious as she said.
-I hereby swear my loyalty towards sorron
And with her words a light appeared on her back hand slowly dimming away showing a white colored tattoo of a great sword and tower shield crossing each other in a round emblem.
The people who stood witness groaned in astonishment even glasses girl seemed astound by the strange light and tattoo.I was also surprised it actually worked this far away and so easily too meaning she actually gave me her loyalty.So far i never met someone who wouldn't swear his or her loyalty to me 100 percent but i also guessed that if they would say it with half-hearted feelings then it wouldn't work thats why i didn't try to ask anyone else for this...
I was a bit hesitant if i had to say it but fuck it...
-ehm hello ?
I used transmission to talk to blondy i was still using the sense of the slime to watch them and i could see blondy looking around confused she probably thought i was standing next to her.
-Wow where are you ? so thats your voice huh? Are we going to meet now ?
She actually talking aloud so i quickly told her using my transmission link.
-Hold on you don't need to use your voice use your thoughts.
I could see blondy close her eyes...ah you...
-Like this ?
-yes...like that
I really wanted to facepalm...
-wow this is amazing its like you are in my head can you even appear in my mind ?
I shook my head a bit helpless and just cut off the transmission link i could still feel blondys presence though even if she wasn't near me.
When i cut off the transmission blondy seemed confused for a minute and also shook her head she was probably trying to talk to me again which didn't work because i was ignoring her on the back of my head she could also ignore me but if i really wanted to i could forcefully tell her something but not too long because i also discovered that the transmission can be fought back or blocked.
And so afterwards i explained the current amount of slimes in the vicinity and how they were used the glasses girl in the end just nodded and asked a few question regarding them and also told me how to set them making 8 surveillance slimes and 8 harvester slimes and 4 guard slimes her positions were very well through i thought and didn't try to say anything against it.After we finished our talk she started to reorganize the people around her yep she was the unquestionable leader type of girl.
Blondy also more then once tried to make a transmission link between us but failed numerous times to do so i could control this as if i was using an interface i could set it so that blondy wouldn't be able to call me or so that she couldn't feel my presence so she wouldn't know how to contact me either way making it quite hard for her but in the end i answered some questions to her she more then once asked me why i didn't just come to them which i answered with "you will see for yourself" and in the end i just cut off the link.
===============================================
-huh (sigh)
I was back at the field and my soup was still hot the fire was already out but the heat was still there even the smell was good i used a wooden spoon to taste it...
-man i really need salt
I felt really lost but what could i do about it ?
-lord sorron ?
Goboku came out from the cave and sat down next to me she smelled the tasty soup so i gave her a bowl to eat she found it a bit strange to eat with the spoon but got quickly used to it and in the end she ate 4 bowls but the pot wasn't even halfway down...man i did make a lot didn't i ? Its good that i had so many mouths to feed.
After the food we just sat down and looked up to the sky the sun was slowly going down i also told the slimes to wake up the other female goblins to get some food.
Goboku seemed a bit confused for some reason and asked.
-Lord sorron a while ago i could the presence of a companion far away...
If it was yesterday i would have asked her if she even understood the meaning of that word but now i didn't question her and told her.
-Yeah she is also a companion but a bit air-headed should i say ?
-Air-headed ?
She asked questionable...yes air-headed but being air-headed wasn't always bad it made it most of the time easier to live that way then to worry about everything...
I just laughed at my stupid remark goboku didn't seem to understand laughed with me anyways seeing me a bit happy.
Well tomorrow it was still survival to the fittest it will be another day i guess.

Dear Spellbook (Link to rewrite in blurb)
A rewrite of this story has been posted here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/49881/dear-spellbook-a-fantasy-time-loop-rewrite Live. Study. Repeat. Tal is a sorcerer in a world where they are killed on sight, traveling with a man charged with carrying out the task. Every night Tal must pretend to study his spellbook to maintain his disguise as a Wizard’s Apprentice. If his disguise slips and his charade is uncovered, it will be his death. Seeking answers to mysteries that arose after his parent’s murder, Tal must accept any allies, no matter the risks, to uncover his family’s secret. But when he wakes up one morning to find himself trapped repeating the same day, he has to overcome his challenges all on his own. This story is an adaptation of a D&D campaign I ran but never was able to complete. I tried to capture the feel of a table-top RPG session —tropes and humor— without relying on the mechanics. This is not a litRPG or gamelit story and no D&D mechanics or system appear in the game. It follows one member of an adventuring party as he deals with the problems with that arise from being an adventurer. Namely, getting roped into adventures. The story has a time loop element, but will eventually move past that. This story explores the magic systems, the history, and the lore of the world through the lens of Tal's entries in his Spellbook and interludes from other written works in the world. New entries on Mondays Credit to JackOfHearts for the cover.
