Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 239: Barbara's Spare Time and Its Achievements

The carriage slowly runs out and the city of Finals drifts away.

The bi-headed dragon carriage is firmly following behind the carriage on which the Lulu's are riding.

Of course, your name is Nina.

It is a mystery whether or not it is okay to say that you ride properly over the head of a double-headed dragon and are not gripping the reins at all, but it is also clear from the fact that they are following you properly to indicate the direction and speed at which you are going firmly.

Moitz, with a slight face from the window of the carriage carrier,

"... what a subtle sight to look at with this eye. Little dragon (Liga Dragon) is manipulating a bi-headed dragon carriage..."

and whine with an indescribable look.

Lulu is

"Well, you don't even have to have an accident."

"That may be... oh?

I had no choice but to convince Moitz, and, uh, lean his neck.

I wondered what was going on and looked in the direction of his gaze, staring away from the window.

"Is something wrong?

Moitz nods at Lulu's question.

"Yeah, from the other side... I'm going to run something"

"Which... Ah"

If you looked out the window from behind Moitz and expanded your senses with magic, it was obvious who was coming this way.

Its speed is comparable to that of a carriage, nor is it human in terms of its behavior.

And that object, which came close after a while, abruptly jumped onto the carriage carrier.

Cancer, and slightly more shaking, but the impact is small for the momentum jumped on.

That should be it, too.

Immediately after,

"... excuse me"

and peered his face through the window was the shzon of a hellhound (Hellhound) that he knew not to mention.

Apparently it was humanized on the carrier, and its appearance is on long black hair, a young woman with red eyes.

Normally, she's a beautiful woman, but showing her face through the window, for her posture as if she'd hung out of the ceiling, just a little bit, scared.

"... well, what. Tori, let's go inside... Moitz, okay?

And Lulu said with a groan, and Moitz nodded,

"Yeah, I think I have something for you..."

I answered.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"So, what's going on again? Was it some kind of mountain?

Szón is now dressed as a beauty, and although he made a slightly missing appearance for a while, he is inherently a powerful demon, Hellhound (Hellhound), who also shuts up crying children, and his strength is quite high.

Even in today's Logsuela Mountains, its position is second only to Barbara, and it can be said that it is essentially number two.

It was nothing strange to predict that she herself had followed the Lulu so hastily, because something related to the mountains had caused serious problems.

Moitz, Iris, and Zoe are also staring at her with a serious look.

But those Lulu's tensions were apparently futile.

Because Shuzon shook his head at Lulu's question.

"No, that's not true at all. The mountains became as peaceful as before. The residents of the Final are now able to cooperate, so it's not necessary. This time I'm here for a completely different reason."

"Another reason? I wonder what."

When Lulu asked, Szón messed with the leather bag on his hips about and took something out of it.

Tilt your neck and observe, apparently it is like a bottle.

It's a lulu that didn't come pin yet when I saw it, but it looks like Illis figured it out.

"Oh! That being said, I completely forgot... is that from Mr. Barbara?

Szón nods as Illis asks.

"Oh. I would have delivered it a little faster if I had, but that one's too obsessed with what he packs inside. It's been this long. I was anxious to get to a distance I couldn't catch up with."

That being said, Szón hands Iris the bottle in his hand.

The iris,

"I didn't have to bother you with that kind of struggle..."

and with a subtle look, Lulu tilts his neck.

"Is that...?

"My brother-in-law. Look, didn't Mr. Barbara say that? He said he'd give me a bottle of water demon (slime)."

That's what Lulu remembers for the first time,

"Oh! That one! I didn't know you meant it..."

It is Lulu who was completely out of his memory because he thought it mattered considerably.

When I was shown the bottle given by Illis, it did pack something like viscous water inside.

It's kind of oddly colorful and has an eye-catching shade.

Water demons (slime) usually seemed more transparent......

Not that there are any poisonous water demons (poison slimes) or anything else that do green, but they will give people a normal water demon (slimes) that is harmless even if it is just Barbara.

Yet it is this shade.

Strange.

When Lulu thinks so, a commentary comes in from Shzon.

"Let me tell you something, the water demon (slime) looks like a very interesting creature. It's a very mutable creature."

"Saying?

"For example...... you know there are different kinds of water demons (slime) and besides the normal ones there are poisonous water demons (poison slime) etc?

"Of course."

Demons, people (human beings), people of all races, poisonous water demons (poison slimes) should not come close because they are dangerous, is to learn for sure as a child.

A regular water demon (slime) can handle even a child if it's not too huge, but there's even a risk of death just touching it when it becomes a poisonous water demon (poison slime).

So its existence is common sense.

Shzon continues.

"That guy seems to have been quite free since he used the lake-bottom city as Negijo. In his spare time, he was finding out how the water demon (slime) who said so and the others make a difference. And as a result, some conclusions were drawn. The conclusion is that water demons (slimes) like poisonous water demons (poison slimes) mutate from normal water demons (slimes)."

Regardless of the powerful demons or demons useful to some, even though there is some danger, there is no one anywhere who seriously tries to examine the water demon (slime), a demon that can easily be defeated.

Even if you are, the years of demons are older than people.

People (humans) can't find out, other species are often obsessed with something else, and the fine ecology of water demons (slimes) was not revealed.

Of course, some hypotheses are nevertheless made, but when it comes to actually investigating it, it becomes necessary to start with the capture of water demons (slimes), collect various other types of water demons (slimes), breed them even more, and continue to do so for generations......

There was no such thing as a scholar in his spare time, and the theory about water demons (slime) was the majority of things that hadn't left the hypothetical stage.

That would mean Barbara used the ancient dragon race, the Enchanted Dragon, to demonstrate it for a long time.

Wow.

Wow, but I'm free.

Whatever, because many people think it doesn't make a lot of sense where it turns out.

"I just wanted to ask if you couldn't use that time for more other things..."

When Lulu said in disdain, Shuzon agreed, though slightly.

"... don't say it. He's like some girl, no matter how long..."

And groan.

Well, it's hard to deny that you have a childish personality for your age.

I'm going to be pissed off if I say it directly.

"So? Because Barbara is familiar with the waterdemon (slime) ecology. What is it?

Szón answers Lulu's question.

"He also went further and looked at how the water demon (slime) could mutate into the species he wanted. As a result, it was successfully produced artificially for some species. For example, poisonous water demons (poison slime) mutate when they continue to give a prescribed amount of certain poisonous grass that is in normal water demons (slime), or ice water demons (ice slime) mutate when they continue to feed something cold after freezing it for a certain period of time,"

"You're going to need a distracting experiment, that"

Pretty much all the research seems like a hassle.

After all, I wouldn't be able to do the research until I had as much time as Barbara.

Shzon continues.

"And when multiple conditions are met, they discover that water demons (slimes) with multiple water demon (slime) properties can be created. The water demon (slime) in that bottle I gave to Illis right now, that's it. It features poisonous water demons (poison slime), ice water demons (ice slime), flaming water demons (flame slime), paralyzed water demons (paralyzed slime), and healing water demons (cure slime). That one took a lot of time to make it... well, this is the time."

"... unexpectedly, you're doing something amazing, Barbara..."

Lulu was unexpectedly surprised by what Szón had said.

Because I've never seen a water demon (slime) with multiple water demon (slime) properties in a natural state, for example.

Going further, I was also surprised to say that we could even artificially produce about cured water demons (cure slime).

If you say you can do this, by placing one in the family, a therapeutic water demon (Cure Slime), you won't even have to rely on a healer if you have some wounds.

Since water demons (slime) are basically omnivorous and so are therapeutic water demons (cure slime), it is all too innovative in modern times to be in a state where there are always creatures in the house who can heal the wounds if you give them leftovers.

Barbara was, maybe, a genius.

"More, I was going to be given something that doesn't matter, but after I get that explanation, you feel like you got a lot of treasure..."

Ilis looked at the contents of the bottle as he stiffened his face.

Glittering and brilliant, the various colors are amazing.

It's an object that I don't know whether to say it's beautiful or disgusting.

However, this is a fairly convenient item.

Not only can it be used for a little healing, it can also be used for Cairo, it will cool you down in the summer, it will paralyze your senses when you get hurt badly, and it will treasure you when you want to apply a little poison or something to your weapon.

Maybe it was just omnipotent.

I don't know if I will use it for the last time.

"Well, that's why. The orders are insistent on listening, so if you take them out of the bottle, it means you go back. They would use it if they also ordered about healing and other abilities. He said he created something extraordinary while he was my lord... and he wanted me to raise him dearly."

From that message, Barbara would be more of a cute lover animal (pet) than a handy tool.

The same was true from her attitude toward Nina, but that kind of motherhood, or she seemed to be overflowing with overprotective parts.

"I get it. Thank you Barbara for something you don't even think about."

"Oh, okay. Okay, I'll excuse myself for this."

That's what Szón says. He jumps out the window.

I looked out the window to see if it was okay to do that from a carriage running at high speeds, and there was a figure of a pitch-black black dog gradually moving away while walking with the carriage.

He doesn't have any problems at all.

"I forgot to tell you, Shuzon's fine too!

When Lulu said so, Illis and Zoe, plus Moitz went on.

"Good luck!

"Nice to see you again!

"Please Final!

Such a glimpse of Lulu, plus Nina behind Lulu's carriage, and then he barked, and Shzon stayed away, and vanished into the distant woods.
