The Appearance Of Monster!?
「How about this?」
I slightly warmed up the slime with Fire magic and covered it with a skin meant for it and used it as a pillow. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「……un, this feels just right」
In winter, slimes become somewhat hard due to the cold.
So you won’t get the proper amount of hardness you want unless you warm it up.
Well, other people might think they already have the right amount of hardness even without warming them first, but my ideal hardness needs it to be slightly warmed first.
The slime has a slight heat that warms my neck and it feels so nice.
Let’s go back to sleeping again just like this.
As I closed my eyes, I felt a noisy presence from downstairs.
Judging from the rhythm of their footsteps it’s not Eleonora-neesan or the servants.
「Oーi, Al! Can I come in?」
I found it strange for a moment, then the owner of those footsteps forcefully opened the door and entered.
「Hey, you came in even before I could reply. Or rather, what’s the matter Roomba?」
Leaving aside Eleonora-neesan, Roomba hardly entered like that.
He looked to be in a hurry what happened?
「A monster appeared near the village!?」
「…………」
I couldn’t help but freeze when I heard this important matter from Roomba.
「Err, what’s the point of telling me that?」
「……you’re calm, aren’t you?」
「If there is a strong monster then we can just dispatch Eleonora-neesan or the living legend Dragon Slayer in our house after all」
I know that there are monsters appearing near Koryat village once in a while, but everything will turn out fine if we just send out these three. And even if a dragon were to appear, I wouldn’t feel that much danger.
There’s Roomba in front of me and the chef Bartolo who was a former adventurer and can fight. And there is also the magician Elna-kaasan. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「That’s true, but it’s a boring reaction. I wanted to see Al in a panic」
「Isn’t it a childish prank」
I ended up reflexively retorting when Roomba exposed his intention. It was a prank on the same level as Torr’s.
「So what’s your real business coming here?」
「No, the monster appearing is real」
「So you want some support since the numbers were larger than expected? If that’s so then Nord-tousan’s office――」
「A Big Slime appeared!」
I was about to send him to Nord-tousan, but my eyes widened when I heard Roomba’s additional information.
「Really?」
「Yeah, really」
Big Slime. It’s a large slime of over one meter in size.
It is said to be the evolution of a slime and its detailed ecosystem is unknown.
It seems that any damage will become less effective when you compare it to a normal slime, but it’s not a dangerous monster that greedily attacks people.
Normally, it would be a worthless monster that people would say it’s worthless, but our house is different.
Right, Big Slime is a monster with the possibility to be turned into a new cushion in our home.
A small slime is already this comfortable. So when we’re talking about the elasticity of a Big Slime, I wonder what kind of cushion it will turn into.
「Where is the Big Slime now?」
「Eleonora and the others are watching over it in the Eastern mountain」
Come to think of it, she said she’s going to go on a patrol the mountain with the vigilante group today. They must have found it while doing patrol.
「Yosh, let’s go catch it!」
「…………」
When I bravely said that and stood up, Roomba looked extremely surprised.
「What’s the matter? Why are you looking surprised?」
「Err, Big Slime is after all a monster, you know? Al basically doesn’t go to where there are monsters, right?」
「Un, I definitely wouldn’t go there if it were normal monsters. But, this time it’s Big Slime」
「……Eleonora also said it, but why are you going to where the Big Slime is?」
It looks like Eleonora-neesan didn’t give enough explanation to Roomba. I wonder if Eleonora-neesan was just excited because she encountered Big Slime?
I explain it to him while changing into my winter clothes from my everyday clothes.
「Try touching this pillow here」
「O, oohh? It’s kinda elastic and soft?」
「What do you think is inside the pillow?」
「……don’t tell me, it’s slime?」
「Un, we use slime as a cushion in our house. So, we’re going to use Big Slime as a cushion this time」
「To think of using a monster as a cushion! As expected from Al! There are some screws loose in your head!」
「……why did you assume it was me?」
「Was it not?」
「Well yes it’s me, but……」
It was a correct guess, but such an analogy was incomprehensible. What do you mean screws loose in my head? www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It’s not like it’s going to harm us and I think it’s quite normal to use monster as a cushion.
「Oh well whatever. Anyway, that’s why we’ll catch that Big Slime」
「Ou!」
◆
After changing into winter clothes, we quickly left the mansion and headed toward the back mountain.
「Al, the path is quite buried in snow can you continue?」
「It’s fine. I remember the road’s width」
I occasionally frequented the road if it’s around here so I remember the route to take.
There’s no chance of me falling into the snow-covered ditch or into streams.
It’s just that, it’s extremely hard to proceed because of the accumulated snow.
It wouldn’t be a problem if I were tall and had long legs like Roomba, but I’m eight years old now.
Even a little snow makes it difficult to run for me.
「I’ll clear up the snow that gets in the way a bit」
I use Ice magic to move the snow on our path to the edge of the road.
The snow is moving *zuzozozozo* and the moist ground surface and grass were exposed.
「Ooh, so convenient, that! Use that to remove the snow from the roof of my house」
「Ehー……oh well, we’re gonna pass My Home anyway so I’ll do that」
「Thank you!」
I would have rejected it without hesitation if it was any other place, but we will pass through the front of My Home anyway.
As we were having such an exchange, we could finally see My Home.
Snow is densely piled up on the roof part of My Home.
It’s made with Earth magic so some amount of snow won’t do anything to it but, it’s something I can’t overlook since there is Roomba who is living here. Although it’s still standing strong over there, it would probably still be painful if it were a person. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It’s dangerous to leave the snow as they are since I don’t when it might fall.
「Hoiiish」
I use Ice magic just like before to drop the snow on the roof and gather and collect it in one place.
「That saved me! No matter how many times I removed the snow from the roof, it kept accumulating immediately there」
「Ahー, Bartolo and the others are removing the snow in our house after all」
「Sounds like it seems to be difficult to do it for your mansion」
Indeed, it seems tough to deal with the large amount of snow that falls every day.
Although it’s the servant's job, it’s dangerous to climb the roof so I think I’m gonna remove the snow on the roof when I get back.
「Ah, I could see Eleonora and the others!」
While following Roomba and thinking of such a thing, I could finally see Eleonora-neesan, Ema-oneesama, and Sheila.
「Oーi, I brought Al!」
「Ah, you’re finally here」
Eleonora-neesan turned around with an expression that said ‘Finally’ when Roomba called out.
It seems that they don’t need to desperately hold the Big Slime down, as if it’s natural.
「Alfried-sama, it has been a while」
「It’s cold right～」
「Been a while. It is cold」
Or rather, the three of them don’t have their swords at the ready and they are so relaxed as if they waiting for someone.
Well, although it’s big it is still a slime. There’s probably no danger that will require these three to be on guard.
「So where’s the Big Slime?」
「Over there」
Looking in the direction Eleonora–neesan pointed to, there’s a huge Big Slime loitering over there.
「So that’s a Big Slime……」
There’s nothing particularly different from their appearance. It’s a creature with a round, gel-like body with a transparent light blue color. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It felt like a slime that had gotten bigger.
「The snow on its body looks like sugar, making it look tasty」
「Ah, I see that～!」
Sheila strongly nodded in agreement at Roomba’s murmuring.
Indeed, when you heard that, the Big Slime that was covered in snow started to look like delicious food.
It looks like its round and plump body was covered with white sugar on top. It kind of reminds me of warasabi mochi.
「It’s not going to attack me in particular, right?」
「Yeah, for now」
「It’s been staying still over there in a daze, y’know～」
「It’s just like Al」
Eleonora-neesan, was that necessary?
But, the Big Slime is indeed just sitting there in a daze.
It doesn’t have a face so where is it looking at or what it's trying to do is completely unknown.
I think it knows about Eleonora-neesan and the other's presence nearby but it doesn’t show any particular action. What a strange monster. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
