Slime Tensei. Daikenja ga Youjo Elf ni Dakishimeraretemasu

Episode Seven: Slime inherits from puppetry

After defeating the Golem in the square, he broke some more traps and boundaries and finally reached the workshop in the deepest room of the mansion.

Now Orpheus is unjoining the line set on the door.

Nicolas has been removed from the physical trap.

Perhaps this is the final trial. There's always one ahead of us beyond this.

"Phew, Phew, Phew."

"That, Sura. You're in a good mood."

"Pi!"

Orpheus is right, I'm in a pretty good mood.

The reason for this is the core of the golem that I just [absorbed].

The technique for moving the golem like a human being is planted in the core, and I thoroughly analyzed that technique, but it's fantastic! A word.

For me, the purpose of imitating the human figure is to be the best reference book.

I see a lot of how it moves after deforming the slime into a person's body.

"Me too, I'm just a little excited. The magicians in this mansion are superb. The more you do it, the more you're reminded. If I can live in this mansion, I will thoroughly examine the person's research."

"Mmm. Not just as a magician. Superb as an alchemist too. Rather, over here. Let me learn a lot."

Indeed it is. Anyway, his two names are puppeteers.

Even for Nicola, it would be a good study.

And the one Orpheus and Nicolas will be happy to learn.

... and in my honor, I'm not inferior to him. It's just that our specialties are different.

"The lifting of the junction is over. If there was a ghost, it would be here. I've seen all the other rooms, so I'm pretty sure. I'm ready."

"Pi!"

"Mmm. Anytime."

That's how Orpheus opened the door.

The last room had become a magician's workshop.

There are a number of alchemy reagents lined up on the shelves, with magic formations painted on the floor.

And in the back of the room, there was a lavish chair and a doll sitting.

The doll is so exquisite that you think it's human unless you observe it closely in imitating an old man.

There was a murmuring noise and the doll's mouth moved.

"Has something finally surmounted my trial?"

Yes, this doll is the lord of this mansion.

He was still alive and dead, transferring his soul to the doll's body.

"Maybe you're a magician's ghost?

Orpheus calls out in a way that surprises him.

"Anyway, the master of this mansion, McGregor Mazers. I guess the two names are more famous. Be a magician, Alchemist."

McGregor Mazers.

I used to hear that name a lot when I was studying under my master.

His specialty is magical creatures.

Making a provisional first life with the power of witchcraft and alchemy. There was nothing in line for him in that area.

"How can you have decent thoughts when you're dead... Could it be that you're using that golem pseudo nerve to compensate for your thinking abilities?

Originally, if you die and become a ghost, you are forced to flesh with magic the strong emotion of untrained.

If you do so, there will be no emotions other than untrained ones, no thinking ability, etc.

But this man has proper thought and conversation.

The secret is as Orpheus speculated.

"I don't know. Isn't that an interesting idea? He becomes a ghost, keeps his soul alive, and his shredded thinking abilities are filled with Golem pseudo-nerves. Nevertheless, it belongs to the Golem. There are limits to what made the best pseudo nerves. It can't be the same as it was in life."

It makes sense that I came here just to find out that there are some methods like this.

A magic trick doll made by itself is more likely to fit and less risky than transferring your soul to a slime like me.

Of course there are shortcomings.

Golem's pseudo nerves have performance limitations.

Even one of the best magicians of our time, lurked with puppetry, can only perform ”less than human”. In that regard, [infinitely evolving slime] can perform more than human beings.

"Great doll, tell me. Why did you keep protecting this mansion?

The realtors hired top magicians over and over again. I tried to pay for his ghost.

But they were inhibited by this man and his magical creatures.

"I didn't protect the mansion. I just kept giving them trials. Had I survived the trials, I would have gladly given up this mansion, this legacy and, more importantly, my research results"

They don't have enough features to make an expression, and only the mouth moves properly.

Still, it tells me that the sentiment put into that word is true.

And the mannequin goes on with the words.

"It is to be a ghost and to borrow the body of the Golem to persevere in this world in order to find a successor to our research. I didn't have a disciple… I couldn't stand my research disappearing for no reason."

I know how that feels.

The research you've put in betting on everything will be wasted. I can't tolerate that. Even if you don't reach the ideals you aspire to with your own hands, I want someone to at least lead you ahead.

Orpheus, too, seemed to understand the feeling and drank his sauce and saliva.

"Maybe the traps and boundaries that were set on this mansion"

"It's a test to see if you deserve my research. I had decided to leave everything to me with the power to overcome these. And you passed. I've been watching. You can complete my research. That much skill and talent."

I felt the doll smile.

The smile weighed in for decades.

"Wait, wait. We can't believe we're taking over research."

"Some magicians and alchemists with as much power as the Lord can suppress curiosity by looking at my colleagues' research. Always makes me want to move on ahead of the rails I have prepared...... oh, it was a long time. I finally found my successor. Bell knows everything about our property and the results of our research. Ask her. Belle, I asked for it."

"Jesus, Master"

A feminine golem came from behind the doll.

It would be a golem I had entrusted with chores and secretaries.

I've never heard of a golem with independent behavior, thinking skills, or even language skills. Is this the reachable frontier of manners?

If we go this far, we can call it the creation of [life].

No, you're not. There was only one thing, my heart was missing. I'm sure the failure to make it is the untrained of the doll.

"I don't care what you say all of a sudden"

"I asked you, talented young men. Yeah, that was a long stop at the end. Now, finally, I can finally sleep, I've been waiting for this day. Please, fulfill my dream, the creation of a new [life], that vocation that God has forgiven only. I'm tired already.... Good night."

As it turns out, the doll stopped moving.

Life extension by being in a haunted state.

There's another reason why I didn't choose that as a means of extending my life.

It takes strong thoughts to become a ghost and stay on earth. Stay in this world with that strong thought at its core.

But if that thought is fulfilled, it will have to disappear. That's why the doll ghost disappeared.

Magician McGregor Mazers was satisfied.

The moment I thought I would take over the research that risked my own life on a talented young man, the untrained that bound him to this land disappeared.

"... Nicolas, this guy is too selfish"

"Sorcerers are such creatures. Regrettably, I'm interested in this guy's research. Golems and gargoyles that have been attacked along the way, and more importantly, their feminine golems, they can't be shown this stuff and not be interested. Blood makes a scene."

I guess so.

Even this me, I can't contain my curiosity.

While the two of them are asleep, let me examine his research results carefully.

What the dolls aimed for was not to make the best dolls. Beyond that, is the creation of real [life]. The research I need must be asleep.

"Neither do I. He wants to follow the path he's taken.... but before we do, let's find and clean the rooms we live in and each lab. When it's over, shall we share the results of this man's research through our eyes?"

"Mm-hmm. I like that. research on respectable magicians other than your father, make it a lot"

The two nod forcefully.

"Then you're going to have to act differently. Sla, let's find the room where we live together. Sla, keep giving me your opinion! It's Sura's room, too!

"Piui."

This is where me and Orpheus are going to live.

We have to choose the best room.

"Orpheus. That's sloppy. Sometimes I want to sleep in a slump, too."

Nicola looks at me still.

"Piuuuuuuuu."

I'm a sinful slime not only to make you obsessed with Orpheus, but even Nicolas.

Orpheus laughs softly.

"Sula, that's what Nicola says, don't you think?

"Psst! (Sometimes I go play with you)"

Orpheus is more comfortable to be held, but sometimes it's not bad to be stiff.

Besides, Nicola is usually faceless, but her sleeping face is an angel. I want to watch slowly.

"Two Coras, good for you. Sla, he said he'd go stay over there once in a while."

"Mm-hmm. I'll wait. I'll be studying it all night."

"Pi!? (Physical purpose!?

That's how we secured a living base in Ashport for what happened.

You'll start living here for a while.

... and the two of you wouldn't have noticed it yet, but said the doll trick would leave a legacy as well as research results. Probably quite a forehead, and some precious magic props.

Well, even with the money, all these kids will use it for research.

"Orpheus. Hey, Helen. I'll let you guys know I moved here."

"Right. Everyone will be worried, and I'll leave you to Nicola."

That's how they started another action to find their own room and a research room.

But they didn't realize.

I went without thought, what consequences would it produce if I contacted the rest of the sisters?

I float and forget about it.

"Psst! (All right, good luck with that)"

Well, that's funny, so let's shut up. For one thing, it's important to secure the beds.

Find the best room to live a full slime life.
