Good Sleep Slime
Kagura’s paper is a no-go. Accurately speaking, it’s not like they can’t be used, but it was impossible for the festival considering my wallet’s situation and the continuous consumption in the village. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
In that case, it has to be something that will not cause a feeling of being out of place like things I can gather from around the village or I buy with Teleport. The former if possible.
I get some papers from inside the house and do the same, cut them into a round shape, and attached them to the scoop.
Well, I know this is reckless but it doesn’t mean there is no possibility, right?
Then I put them into the water tank in the garden and then I try moving them.
Immediately after that, the paper crumbles faster than the paper from Kagura. It can be said to be an immediate result of doing that.
The paper scraps scattered in the water, there is no way you will be able to enjoy scooping fish with this.
「This is also not good, huh」
Yeah, I mutter that and then try holding the next piece of paper between my fingers.
This one is quite thick compared with the previous one. This one is even used to make slippers.
Honestly, this is closer to cardboard than paper, but maybe this might be able to be used.
I dip the scoop into the water while holding such a faint expectation.......
「……it’s not crumbling at all」
It’s great that the paper doesn’t crumble but it’s too thick.
I tried to put a small stone I picked up from the ground, but it was still unaffected.
If you use this, then you can easily scoop the fish and it won’t be interesting, right?
This paper, no, this cardboard is not good.
And so I tried to use other types of paper, but they either crumbled like the first one or were too thick, making them useless.
Paper is no good after all. I need to come up with other materials. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I went back to my room and lay down on my bed. I grabbed the nearby slime pillow and placed it under my head.
And I feel something out of place. There is not enough cushioning under my head. Even the position of my head is different from usual, this is strange.
When I sprang up and looked at the slime pillow, I noticed that the soft and full pillow had become flat.
「Eh? What happened?」
I properly fed the slime this morning. I make it my daily routine to feed the slime after waking up in the morning, so I’m sure of it.
But, the slime pillow in front of me has deflated like a slime pillow one forgot to feed.
There is only one person who did this kind of thing. It’s Eleonora-neesan.
Moreover, she exchanged my living slime by carefully removing the cover. And the malicious nature of this incident happened very often.
Although, if I were to suddenly decide one-sidedly and blame her for it, I may just get counterattacked if I made a mistake. Just to be sure, let’s check Sylvio-niisans’.
I left my room and walked toward Sylvio-niisan’s room.
Knocking on the door, I receive an answer from inside.
Sylvio-niisan is sitting on a chair, appearing to be checking some papers,
Those are probably, papers related to the Harvest Festival. Recently, Nord-tousan has been assigning territory-related work to him.
This is a good trend. Sylvio-niisan needs to continue to work hard to become a good lord. For the sake of my leisurely slow life.
「What’s wrong, Al?」
Sylvio-niisan asks me in a puzzled tone when I enter the room.
Though, if I were to clumsily talk about his work then he will ask for help or something it would be unbearable.
I should quickly finish my business, so I ignored him and went to his bed.
And when I touched the slime pillow on his bed, I could feel the elasticity of the living slime.
I knew it, Sylvio-niisan wasn’t the culprit.
「……umm, what happened? Is there something wrong with my slime pillow?」
「No, it’s nothing. Sorry to bother you」
So I tell him while leaving his room as Sylvio-niisan asked me looking genuinely puzzled.
No problem here. It would not be good if you show an idle appearance near someone who is working, that fact has left a deep impression on my previous life.
After safely leaving Sylvio-niisan’s room, next I’m heading toward Eleonora-neesan’s room.
Eleonora-neesan always enters others' rooms without knocking, so I will also enter without knocking――so I would like to do but, being a guy and the little brother, it won’t end well for me if I were to do that.
That’s something someone at the top level of a section head or a company’s president does to others, so if someone like me were to do that then I can’t imagine what would happen to me.
However, while that’s so, I feel like I’m losing if I were to do things obediently so I make a loud knock at least as revenge.
「Eleonora-nee――」
「You’re loud」
「I’m sorry」
Maybe I knocked too loud, Eleonora-neesan told me in a displeased tone. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I was so scared of her tone that it seemed to be really displeased and gave off an air of intimidation, so an apology came out of my mouth in the spur of the moment.
But, I’m not going to back down now. I mean, I’m the one blaming others today.
「Eleonora-neesan, can I come in?」
「……why?」
’Why’, you say, I feel a sense of pressure just hearing that.
I wonder why is it like this. Even though I came here to question her, I feel like I’m the one being questioned.
I’m the person who does the questioning. So I muttered inside my mind as if mustering my courage, and so I decided to just ask her directly.
「You stole my slime, didn’t you?」
「……I didn’t ‘stole’ it. I only ‘exchange’ it」
I’m sure she will evade my question, but she replied in a calm, matter-of-fact tone like she was telling me the truth about something.
It was unexpected she didn’t have any intention of evading it.
「Can I come in for now?」
「Fine」
For now, I enter the room after asking her permission.
When entering a girl’s room you can’t enter casually and without saying anything even if it feels natural in the flow of your conversation.
That fact had been hammered into me in my previous life by my sisters.
It was just a single word but, it’s a cheap price to pay if you can live peacefully.
Eleonora-neesan’s room is just like my room. However, there are a few feminine things such as a sword, a wooden sword, and protectors inside the room. If anything, it’s far from it.
But, there is a mysterious soft scent of a girl wafting in the air reminiscent of a girl’s room.
And speaking of the owner of the room, Eleonora-neesan was lying on the bed looking up at the ceiling.
She is now in a relaxed mode, her ponytail is untied. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
And boldly, she uses the slime she stole from me as her red pillow under her head.
「I want my slime back」
「Eehー, there are other slimes, right? I don’t know where the other slimes are so I just went and got Al’s pillow」
Oh, she casually changed her word to 『got』 didn’t she? It looks like the person herself was unaware of that but it seems like she perceive it like that.
This is a phenomenon where a little brother's stuff is naturally also his older sister's stuff.
But, only this time I can’t back down. That slime is special.
「I don’t have any extra slimes right now. Go and catch a new slime if your slime died because you forgot to feed it」
「Ehー, but I like Al’s slime since it smells good. Or rather, how come the slime smells so good?」
「It has a nice smell since I fed it flowers, herbs, and citrus. By the way, that slime also eats a lot of herbs that have relaxing effects so there is also a relaxing component in the smell」
「Haaー, no wonder it’s so calming」
She lies face down and breathes in seemingly relaxed.
The reason she was strangely relaxed looks to be because of the relaxing effect from my slime pillow.
This is going to be a good item to make the excited Eleonora-neesan calm down.
If even the usually lively Eleonora-neesan can sleep due to the relaxing effect from the slime, then she could become a little more well-mannered and the number of times she asked for practice together will decrease.
「It took me a while to get that effect you know. I’m sorry but I brought up that slime after a lot of trouble and has grown attached to it please return it. I’ll also teach Eleonora-neesan how to bring up the same kind of slime」
「Can’t be helped then, I’ll return――no, let me take a nap with this slime for a bit」
Eleonora-neesan said while almost returning the slime but then she let out a yawn and then she buried her face into the slime pillow.
It seemed like she had taken quite a liking to my special slime.
Before long, Eleonora-neesan makes a calm sleeper’s breathing sound.
Looking at her, her peaceful sleeping face also makes me to also feel calm.
I said I wanted her to return it, but as expected, I’m not a demon who will take the slime from her at this moment.
I put a blanket over Eleonora-neesan with Psychic and quietly left her room. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
