A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 634: Negotiations with Slime. 3 (Talk afterwards. )
Takeo left the scene and King Jen and Elder Moon Slime were surrounding the burning fire.
"Um, looks like you managed to do well.
"The Spirit Palace.
What is that person called Takeo?
"He's funny, isn't he?
"Interesting... weird.
I usually don't bow my head to slime, talk to you, or sign a contract.
Slime is a race with little ability to attack.
It's the only demon I have to live in the woods secluded.
I've never seen a human trying to protect and coexist with it.
"Uhm."
"Never mind the people who are new to the land or us. We have been opening more and more woods.
That's not just for humans, it's for beasts, and so are the demons.
It is normal for us to open up and pioneer without looking at us.
... Lord Spirit, what is that Takeo product that you're talking about?
Is it attractive enough to protect us?
"Hmm... it may be close to a living product, but I'd like to use your lords' body fluids to erase the letters written on paper, if I may say so quickly.
Elder Moon Slime tilts his neck without knowing King Jen's explanation.
"Plus you could do a lot of other things with your lords.
But whatever it takes to make it, Takeo won't be willing to make it until he's tortured your lords.
"Is that so?
"That's a good thing your lords are going to look at Takeo and judge.
"Yes."
Elder moon slime nods at King Jen's words.
"By the way, what happened to the other Elder Moon Slimes?
"I'll be around.
Two people-shaped slimes come from the woods when Elder Moon Slime says so.
"So, those two, how long are you not getting out?
Takeo's gone, isn't he?
Two small silhouettes approach King Jen's words.
"... Nio, I thought you had eyes for me when you came down...
It's largely unnoticed, isn't it?
"Tun?"
Mia and Sue called.
"Ha ha... sleep..."
Takeo went back to the mansion to see the maid, greeted her home, then peeked into the bedroom to make sure Alice was asleep, went to the study, lay down on the couch, and was about to take a nap.
and the window of the study is knocked con.
"Normally, I think it's about ghosts coming through the window at this hour?
Takeo blurs as he wakes up from the couch and opens the window.
"Huh? Does the Lord know the Ghost?
I don't think I'm in this city.
"Tun."
Two little ones come home as if nothing had happened.
"No - I didn't know our room windows could be closed. Ha.
"Chit-chit-chit."
Two little ones are trying to do it.
"So, where were you both?
"Huh?... er... have a little outing because the night view is beautiful.
Hey, Susuke?
"Chi?... Tun!
At first, Sue was decent, but soon she snorted.
"... it's dangerous at night, so it's better not to walk too far, right?
"That's the Lord, too.
If you set a fire to such defenselessness, the beast will come near you, won't it?
"Then will you be careful next time?
It would have been cold out there. Would you like some white water, too?
"Huh? Ha... yes.
"Tun?"
Takeo pours hot water from his hands into the cup without even pursuing Mia and the others and puts it out in front of them.
"It's as good as a bath, so you can drink Sue.
Warm up a little.
"Huh..."
"Chit-chit-chit..."
The two little ones turn their strange faces to Takeo.
"Hmm? What's up?
"No... won't the Lord ask where we've been?
"Is it a walk at night?
I won't ask you anything else.
"Ugh... yes..."
Mia starts having trouble.
"And Mia, Sue, the night stroll... it's not very good, but did you tell someone properly when you went out?
Because in case you get hurt or can't move, you can't go looking for it.
We have to tell them where we're going properly and what time we're going back.
"Is the Lord communicating properly?
"Yeah, I'm telling you right.
Today's is also said to be a training ground from late at night until the morning.
"You're so sloppy.
"You are today.
But if we don't get back to the mansion by morning, someone will be at the training ground to see how it goes.
At that point, if you need anything from me, you can start looking.
The city is smaller than the Wang capital because it is a local city, and the cracks and inhabitants are relaxed.
But it will be very difficult to find people out of this.
Please tell me your destination and time to go home because it is generally good to protect yourself and not worry about your family.
Takeo says in a flamboyant manner.
"Ha ha.
"Tun."
The little ones reply as they rinse the white water.
"By the way, did you tell anyone to go out?
"It's Master Alice.
Though I didn't tell you when to get home.
"You said a proper night stroll, didn't you?
"Ah... yes!
Mia snorts.
"Really?
Should I go to bed if I drink that for now?
I'm a little limited, too, aren't I?
My eyelids are heavy.
"Yes."
"Tun."
The little ones replied like they were asleep.
In the morning, when the sun rose.
The bedroom door in the study was knocked, "Master Takeo, are you there?" Alice comes in whispering.
"Oh?
Heh heh, looks like you're safe.
Alice looks at Mia and Sue sleeping in big letters in the middle of a blanket on Takeo and Takeo lying on the couch and says, "Shall I let you sleep a little longer? I thought," Quietly exiting the original door.
