Best Position

Elman turned pale after receiving an additional order of a hundred slime scoops, but then he wholeheartedly breathed a sigh of relief when I showed him the actual product and explained it to him. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Apparently, it looks like the young worker will be able to do it if it’s just at this level and size.

Although there is still time until the Harvest Festival, Elman still has a lot of other work. As expected, I won’t do anything like a demon and order a large-scale thing like the Kick target in large quantities.

We plan to build up three large-ish water tanks side-by-side at the Harvest Festival. We can expand it further but we don’t know if we can catch that many fish and we also don’t want the festival to be just about Fish Scooping.

The number of people who can surround the water tank and play is limited, so even if we think about it a hundred scoops would be enough

The frame of the scoop itself is not disposable, they just have to change the paper part where we will use slime skin, so it can also be used continuously. It’s truly an eco-product.

And because of that, I returned to the side of the mansion after I finished making the order to Elman.

And just when I walked back home through the front door, I could smell something good coming from the kitchen.

It looks like Bartolo is preparing for lunch.

Due to the smell of grilled meat, it stimulates my stomach as it makes a sound.

Since I use Teleport, my sense of time has become vague, it looks like it’s already noon.

「Hamburger! Hamburger! Today’s menu is hamburger!」

Just when I was wondering what are we going to eat for lunch today, Mina came.

I immediately understood what we would have for lunch today from her cheerful expression and the words that came out of her mouth with a good rhythm. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Ah, welcome back Alfried-sama! I heard you went to Elman-san’s workshop, but that was faster than I thought?」

I left the mansion a bit late after all. It would take quite a bit of time if I were to walk leisurely to Elman’s workshop.

It looks like she thought I was going to come back later with my legs.

Dang. Did I make a poor adjustment in time by thinking of reducing the time it takes by using Teleport?

But, I have prepared an excuse for times like this.

「A villager sent me near the mansion with a horse on my way back」

「I see! Alfried-sama, you got a lift, huh!」

Mina easily believed the reason I made up.

Fufufu, horses and horse-drawn carts are means of transportation that villagers have. Occasionally, there are wandering merchants visiting the village, and there are times when such a person will come and offer me a lift when they see me trying to help.

Although, I basically just walk back home or use Teleport more often.

I’ll consider riding a horse or a horse-drawn cart on the way back home so I can use that as an excuse next time.

「Rather than that, listen Alfried-sama! We will have hamburgers for lunch today!」

「Really? We ate it the other day, I’ll tell Bartolo to change it into meat-stuffed bell pepper then. He will be able to do it if I tell him now」

「Uwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Please stop, Alfried-sama! What kind of grudge did you have against hamburgers!?」

As I was trying to go to the kitchen while saying that, Mina grabbed me while screaming in a voice like she was crying.

I made a joking remark at her seeing how excited she looked but I was the one left speechless at her.

「It’s a joke, I won’t do such a cruel thing you know」

「You liar! Alfried-sama is the kind of person who can say something like that calmly while changing the menu into minced meat pasta or something else!」

Ooh, I was surprised that Mina accurately guessed the next dish that came to my mind after the meat-stuffed bell pepper. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

As to be expected from Mina. She’s been serving us for quite some time, she knows what I’m going to do.

「Mina, don’t slack off and please get ready to prepare the meal. Alfried-sama is back now」

「But! Alfried-sama said that he’s going to change the menu to meat-stuffed bell pepper!?」

Mina desperately told Sara - who looked exasperated while returning the plates - her excuse.

After hearing that, Sara thinks about it for a moment, and then,

「……right. We also ate hamburgers the other day so meat-stuffed bell pepper and minced meat pasta might be good」

「That’s awful! I can’t believe even Sara is saying that」

I guess she heard what we were talking about. Mina collapsed after hearing Sara saying that as if matching the content of our conversation earlier.

Looking at a pathetic look, I feel like she’s going to cry at this rate.

「I’m just really joking Mina. Well then, I’ll call Sylvio-niisan」

I head to the second floor to escape since I felt awkward. Mina will doubt me and think that I will really go to the kitchen and somehow change the menu, making Sara troubled since Mina won’t be able to get to work if I stay near the kitchen.

「Ah, please also call Elna-sama in her bedroom if possible」

Sara asked me that as I was climbing the stairs.

Elna-kaasan, she’s still sleeping.

In order to get my slime back, I have to take it myself right now. If I leave it as it is, then it's going to be Eleonora-neesan or Elna-kaasan's personal belonging.

◆

「Sylvio-niisan, it’s time for lunch」

「Okay. I will come down as soon as I read to a good place to stop」

When I said that while knocking on Sylvio-niisan’s door, he immediately replied with that.

With this, Sylvio-niisan would go down to the dining room on his own. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Now then, the problem is Elna-kaasan who is probably sleeping in the back room.

I passed Eleonora-neesan’s room and now am standing in front of Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan’s room in the back.

「Elna-kaasan, it’s time for lunch」

「…………」

So I knocked on the door while telling her that, but there was no response.

After waiting for a while I put my ear on the door and I heard a faint sound of someone’s breathing coming from inside.

I knew it, Elna-kaasan seemed to be sleeping.

「Elna-kaasan, I said, it’s time for lunch」

「…………」

This time I raise my voice and knocking sounds louder than before, but there is still no response.

It looks like she is in deep sleep due to the Good Sleep slime.

When I put my hand on the doorknob and turn it, the door seems to open smoothly.

I wonder if it’s okay to enter a sleeping woman’s room.

From my previous life sisters and Eleonora-neesan’s experience this is basically an out, but this time I have a good reason to do this, which is calling her to go down and have lunch and also to take back my Good Sleep slime.

And Elna-kaasan is not my sister so it should be safe. It should be fine since a mother won’t be as unreasonable as the creature called ‘sister’.

I enter Elna-kaasan’s room while partly telling myself that.

When I slowly opened the door and entered, I saw that the room was different from my - or Eleonora-neesan’s - room, there was a soft scent in the air.

The fact that there is Elna-kaasan’s smell here makes me feel safe somehow.

It’s rare for me to enter Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan’s bedroom so this is a bit fresh.

The last time was when I scared Mina at night with the doll I received from Viscount Dole and they got angry at me.

Maybe it’s because it’s the room of the lord and the backbone of Slowlett house that the room is much larger than the children’s room. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

There is a large carpet, a dresser, a closet, and a sofa where two people can seem to relax inside the room. The atmosphere inside is like a small living room.

Then, there is a double-sized bed at the back with Elna-kaasan lying on her back on it.

A red-covered pillow laid out under her head, I guess she borrowed the pillow from Eleonora-neesan and she is sleeping with a comfortable-looking face.

「Elna-kaasan, wake up」

I approach closer and call out to her, but Elna-kaasan’s reply is still her calm breathing sound. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

When I tried to shake her body this time, the two slimes on her chest also shook so I stopped doing that.

What should I do now? Usually, I’m the one being woken up so I don’t really understand the feeling of the one waking me up.

I feel like I understand a little the reason why Eleonora-neesan hit me so I can wake up quickly.

Although, I don’t want to use that method as someone who loves to sleep myself. Or rather, there is no way I can slap Elna-kaasan to wake her up.

Should I wake her up like when Elna-kaasan woke me up with Water magic before? But, it will make her clothes wet if I do it inside and I’m afraid of the aftermath.

I could see a future where an Iron Claw came toward me if I were to wake her up like that.

As I was thinking besides the sleeping Elna-kaasan, I saw her pillow moving and squirming about.

It seems like the slime inside had finished digesting its food and is now hungry.

Hmm, then let’s remove the slime if Elna-kaasan doesn’t wake up.

If it’s like that then I will be able to get my slime back first and there’s the possibility of Elna-kaasan waking up due to the impact of the slime being removed.

As long as I can get my slime back then I don’t care whether she wakes up or not.

Thinking like that, I pulled out the slime pillow and it came off easily.

……surely, she will move her hand and hold down the pillow while still sleeping, or so I imagined but it’s anticlimactic. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Let’s just return to my room like this. The moment I thought so, something grabbed my pants and pulled me back.

「Uwaa!?」

Without understanding what happened, my vision suddenly flipped and I rolled face up onto the bed.

And then, something heavy was placed on my stomach.

When I gingerly raised my upper body, I saw Elna-kaasan using my stomach as a pillow.

Apparently, she groped around and pulled me to use as a pillow since her pillow was gone.

I shouldn’t be as light as slime but, she pulled me easily by the shoulder.

「U, uh?」

Just as I was trembling in fear over Elna-kaasan’s physical strength, I heard a faint voice coming from Elna-kaasan.

She moves her head around, trying to find the best position.

However, I guess she couldn’t find it. Elna-kaasan opened her eyes while frowning.

The gaze of a mother who uses her son’s stomach as a pillow and the son who got his stomach turned into a pillow met.

Even though our eyes met, Elna-kaasan still moves her head around again without worrying about it.

「……Al’s stomach doesn’t feel right」

I was able to get my slime back and managed to wake Elna-kaasan up peacefully, but it felt strange. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
