Rou attributes one of the reasons as to why his goblin family got so strong so quickly was because they were fighting and eating well. As much as training hard makes someone stronger, eating good food does the same thing as well. Maybe because of the nutrition facilitating their growth or because of the magic which saturates the flesh (dragon blood is saturated in the stuff and extremely toxic, but for those who can withstand it, it's apparently pretty delicious), but it does help. Think Dragon's Crown, I guess.

Rou, however, does get a straightforward power-up from eating stuff; even without gaining any abilities, his stats do passively increase. So it might be as you say and they did inherit at least that much of his abilities, aside from the jobs Oro and Argent inherited from him. I think it's a good idea to assume the glowing they experienced is exclusive to jobs and creatures that can absorb strength.

All that said, the reason why I brought up the quote was to underline how low the possibility of any of his children inheriting his Absorption ability in full. Just like the other two World Enemies, his Absorption ability seems to be what uniquely identifies him as the Glutonny. The quote I posted, then, might be a narrative indication that he'll be the only one with such a power in the story.

As for Tomboy Princess, I wouldn't place the Satori's mindreading ability on the same level as Rou's Absorption ability. Although it can't be said for sure since Satori was the only one of his kind, I'd say the mindreading ability was its racial trait. Something inherent in its being, like an ogre's great physical strength or a ghoul's ability to control lesser undead. The reason why it's harder for future members of Tomboy Princess' family to inherit it is because the blood is being diluted. The mindreading ability is inherent in Satori's genes. The quote I gave, however, tells us that inheriting ESP abilities is a non-successive gene. Stuff like Grappler, Berserker, Crest Master jobs? All inheritable. The orbs as well. But psychic abilities aren't inherited the same way and it's unknown what the factors for inheritance are exactly. Which tells us that, whatever parts of Rou's Absorptiona ability his kids inherit, it will be because of something special like fate or whatever.

I think Oniwaka is the only one who hasn't shown any signs of inheriting anything from Rou? Apart from his robust body as a High Ogre, anyway. It's fine, I guess. He's probably going to be the equivalent of Kichi amongst his siblings, being the most physically powerful compared to Oro and Argent's more varied skills and finesse or Opushii's summoning abilities. Plus, he's picking up his mother's blacksmithing as a hobby, so who knows where that'll lead. With that kind of reportoire, he's really shaping up to his title.
