People are always saying that murder is bad, but you know who never gets asked? The victims. I have no idea whether murder is okay or not, but I certainly know who we should be asking about it.

Honestly, goblin start a drug cartel in another world seems like an isekai I'd read.

Aya was taken aback by her sister's response. Why was she stammering? And what did she mean by 'low-level job'? The entire plan hinged off it... And go together?! Why would Ragi want to work so closely with Aya, wouldn't that reduce efficiency and hinder Ragi's plans? Aya's mind raced as she tried to figure out her sister's intentions. Understanding people was hard, damn it!
Wait. What if this was a test? If Ragi was truly planning on establishing herself as ruler of the goblins, then it only made sense that she would want to test her subjects and with Bug lying exhausted in a hole and Twig nowhere to be seen that only left Aya for her to test. Yeah, now that Aya thought about it her sister presenting a third option had clearly been a calculated suggestion on her part. Not only would it allow her to see how Aya adapted to unforeseen circumstances, but it would put Ragi in a position to closely observe Aya and get a feel for her skills and capabilities. Now beginning to see a clearer picture as to the extent of her sister's brilliance, Aya felt her grin grow somehow wider still, as her panic kicked up by an order of magnitude and she wondered just how many steps ahead of her Ragi truly was.
"Ahh... good suggestion sister...", Aya began. Shit, there was no way she was going to prove her worth to Ragi sounding so unconfident. Why did communicating have to be so hard? "I think we should bring the mushroom sloth thingy with us for now, I'm not sure how difficult it would be to try and explain agriculture to the others...", Aya suggested, hoping to show that she was thinking things through, "And I'll also collect any good sticks we see on the way as well...".
Had she forgotten about anything? Sure felt like it, but Aya couldn't think of anything at that moment and waiting around would bring its own set of problems, so Aya instead considered which direction they should search in. Anything of interest in the direction Ragi had gone would have already been spotted by her sister, Aya didn't trust Twig not to have scared off any potential prey near him and she hadn't seen anything while walking from the cave, which only left one direction for the duo to explore. With that in mind, Aya wordlessly set out. She'd intended to seem confident in her silence but immediately regretted the decision, realising that it probably just made her look bad at communicating instead, not that that was an unfair assessment...

No pun shall escape my watch.
Heh, goblin Gor got Gored to death. That one better have been intentional.
And I got a post out! It's 1 am but I felt compelled to get this out before going to sleep so I'll fix it in the morning if it turns out to be total garbage.
As much as it pained her to do so, Aya was fully prepared to murder the adorable sloth-like monster that Ragi had brought back to the hole. Her biggest concern really was the mushrooms that grew from the creature's body. Aya hadn't a clue how to distinguish between a poisonous fungus and an edible one. Hell, she couldn't even tell if the mushrooms were some kind of parasite or a part of the creature itself and in either case, if the fungus was poisonous she was worried they might have contaminated the entire meal.
She was just about to voice her concerns to Ragi when it hit her, her sister was above and beyond the smartest goblin she'd interacted with yet and if Aya had thought of the potential risk of poison there was no way Ragi hadn't, but what if Ragi hadn't brought the sloth-like creature back as a quick meal but instead as a long term investment. If the mushrooms were edible then they'd have a steady supply of food for their family for who knows how long and if they were poisonous then that could be used to increase the families offensive capability instead. Furthermore, the creature was clearly docile enough to be easily domesticated, in fact it seemed Ragi had already managed to do so to some degree.
Once again Aya found herself in awe of Ragi's intelligence and embarrassed by her own lack of foresight. Where Aya had been thinking only of the now and inadvertently laying the groundwork for unsustainable hunting practices, her sister was already thinking months and years into the future, already setting the foundations for a goblin agricultural revolution, whatever that meant, and on her very first day out of the cave no less!
"Great work sister! I wasn't expecting you to be thinking so far ahead so soon!", Aya praised her sister, "With this guy, we might be able to grow food for the family for years to come! Or maybe we could manufacture poison? I don't know we'll have to test things later!". She could already see it, countless scenarios in which Ragi established herself as ruler of the goblins, within many of which Aya would outlive her usefulness and fall by the wayside. The thought left her with a panicky feeling, but she couldn't afford to wait on acting like she normally would if she wanted to avoid that fate.
Her best bet as far as Aya's reasoning went was to endear herself to Ragi or to otherwise prove herself sufficiently useful. "Umm sister...", Aya cautiously began, flashing Ragi her most charming smile, a look pretty much exactly the same and certainly as creepy as all her other ones, "I was going to get started on trying to disguise this trap and maybe go check on Twig, but we still need to find something to catch, so which job do you want? Or do you want me to do both?".
Only now did Aya notice the makeshift weapon wrapped around Ragi's shoulder, a rock attached to a vine, allowing not only for the rock to hit with greater power and accuracy, but also to be recovered after being thrown. With the realisation that her sister had somehow managed to find the time to design and make what was quite possibly the perfect weapon for the trap Aya had devised even while she planned years of agricultural innovation, Aya felt a good portion of what little hope she'd had of impressing her sister die.

The spiral of misundertanding continues downward
It just gets worse and worse with each now post...
Is Bug called Bug because he's big like a bugbear?
Aya felt pleased with herself as Ragi praised her for her plan, only for that feeling to crumble away mear moments later when her sister had covertly pointed out that the other goblins probably couldn't understand the details of said plan. How had she made that kind of mistake when only minutes earlier she'd taken note those same goblins lack of intelligence? As if that wasn't bad enough she'd made a fool of herself in front of the only other intelligent goblin she'd met so far. Or should she say the only intelligent goblin?
Aya did a surprisingly good job at hiding her internal meltdown, her only tell being a slight widening of the grin she wore in response to her internal panic. She needed to keep calm, if she played things just right she might still be able to salvage her sister's opinion of her. "Good point! Anyway, we should get going now it'll be harder to dig if we get any hungrier", the goblin announced, hastily moving to exit the cave with her new companions. Reasoning that the other goblin that had gone out to hunt had probably travelled directly forwards from the cave entrance and thus reduced the hunting opportunities in that direction, Aya instead took an immediate hard left. Trying to gauge her sister's reaction to her decision making once again yielded no information to the socially inept goblin.
Aya thought through the finer details of the operation as she scanned for somewhere that looked suitable for digging, not that she had any clue what to look for. Finally, settling for a patch of ground that looked to be fairly soft and with relatively few stones in the soil, at least as far as she could tell, Aya stopped. She wasn't really sure of her siblings' individual strengths, but not wanting to risk asking and making a fool of herself she was left with no choice but to make educated guesses.
"Twig can you go look for big rocks and sticks? The sticks should be long and thin.", Aya asked of the lanky goblin, making exaggerated, almost comical gestures as she explained what she wanted. She figured that Twig was neither the smartest nor the strongest of her siblings so this was probably the task he was best suited to. Aya realised now that she'd forgotten to ask her sister's name, but not wanting to show her mistake she decided to press on and hope Ragi wouldn't notice, "Ahh... sister could you go look for something we could chase into the trap? A big creature if you can but nothing with big fangs or claws or stuff", Ragi was obviously the smartest of the bunch, even if Aya was the one making the plan for some reason, so she trusted her with a more complex task, though once again she punctuated her sentence with gestures, just in case. That left Bug and Aya herself to dig and cover the hole, not that Aya really had the strength or experience to be of much help in that department, but she wanted to make sure the walls of the hole weren't sloped and were compacted enough that they wouldn't immediately crumble to a panicking animal, "Okay Bug, follow my lead".
