Chapter 27

How should I do this?

For this week I lived cut off from outside news with my mind taken by Ara.

Of course there were times I went out once to obtain children’s clothes or straw hat, and daily necessities needed for daily life and to give fruit and vegetable juice to hyung Yeongseong, but at that time because of the anxiety of leaving Ara in the dungeon there was no time to look around.

‘Even if explaining it’s a slime...’

Watching Ara still standing holding sweet potatoes like dual swords I scratched my head.

Would the kids really believe seeing that appearance?

I put an index finger on Ara’s lips and asked to be quiet and quickly climbed the ladder.

“Oh, what? Sweet potato smell is vibrating?”

Jaeseong who saw my appearance coming up smacked his lips and said. And Seona also sniffed then soon looked at my appearance and smiled.

“Oppa completely became a farmer. Look at the clothes worn.”

“No why did Seona suddenly come? This is a hard place to find...”

The reason the monthly rent of infinite dungeons isn’t that expensive included this point too. Exactly the point that since there’s no door someone entering can’t be blocked.

Of course most infinite dungeons the owners build new buildings around and completely manage entry, but the place I live was a place neglected because it didn’t have that much value.

‘If earning money and purchasing the dungeon next I should build a building surrounding the dungeon first.’

Until now there was no chance of guests coming to the dungeon so there was no sense of crisis at all, but due to this incident an alarm rang.

“It was the weekend so I came home after a long time and Jaeseong oppa said he was going to see oppa so I said I’d follow.”

Seona’s two eyes were sparkling.

Thinking about it this guy was an awakener maniac.

Seona had so much interest to the extent of memorizing famous awakeners’ names and skills, and awakener related incidents. Even the university department she entered this time was dungeon monster research department.

Having said going to the dungeon to such her she would naturally have said she’d follow.

“Hmm, for now wait a moment. There are some roasted sweet potatoes so I’ll bring them.”

“No need? We’ll go down too. Look at slimes after a long time.”

Jaeseong walked uncaringly.

I urgently blocked such Jaeseong’s front and turned my gaze here and there.

“A, no I’ll bring them. Just rest here. You would have been tired climbing the mountain.”

“...Why suddenly like that, hyung?”

Then Seona lightly looking around discovered the vegetable garden and shouted.

“Wow! The vegetables eaten then came from here? Really amazing. And I also want to look at slimes! Jaeseong oppa boasted how cute the slimes were...”

Seona’s voice gradually became smaller.

I who was blocking Jaeseong wondered why Seona and looking, I could confirm her frozen as is looking somewhere.

Wondering what and following her gaze and turning my head there...

“Grrrr.”

From the hole connected to the ladder Ara with tiger ears wearing a straw hat and only two eyes peeking out was glaring at us.

“...”

Got caught.

Well, I thought I can’t hide forever but to think I’d get caught this quickly.

“...Th, that kid who is it, oppa?”

“Slime.”

“Don’t lie. H, how is such a cute kid a slime!”

Soon excited Seona flew out jumping.

And Ara surprised at that appearance made a flustered expression and entered the hole.

Following the disappeared Ara Seona climbed down the ladder and watching such two Jaeseong asked.

“Why were you blocking and it was because of that kid? But really what? Hidden child?”

“If a child I gave birth would tiger ears be attached?”

“That wasn’t decoration? Real ears?”

“Haa...”

Since already caught no need for unnecessary wrestling.

I made a gesture to Jaeseong to follow and climbed down the ladder.

“Baby, come to unnie a bit!”

“Scary! Scary!”

Playing hard running around.

The guy who when an unfamiliar voice first came even held sweet potatoes as if a weapon like about to fight right away was now hanging tears and running desperately.

“Hello, kids. Remember me?”

In the meantime Jaeseong greeted the slimes and I prepared the sweet potatoes.

‘Barely salvaged the ones put in the steamer.’

Almost overcooked but luckily saved. While preparing the sweet potatoes like that something bumped into my thigh with a bean!

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong! Save me! An unknown woman is chasing!”

At the appearance of Ara muttering as if about to shed tears any moment holding my leg I ended up smiling without knowing.

“Huk! Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong! Don’t tell me you’re in the same group as that woman! In a very very serious crisis situation why are you smiling!”

“Ara, these two are my younger siblings. Greet.”

“Younger siblings!!?”

Ara looked up at me with a shocked expression then soon turned her gaze and looked at Jaeseong and Seona. Seona before I knew it was taking pictures with the phone of Ara’s appearance tightly holding my leg.

“Hello, Ara? The name is Ara. I’m Lee Seona.”

“Lee Seona?!”

“I’m Lee Jaeseong. Please take care of me.”

“Lee Jaeseong!”

Ara’s words with exclamation marks stuck hard on every word ultimately made even Jaeseong burst into laughter.

As expected cuteness saves the world. Making even that smileless Jaeseong smile.

But why does she call the younger siblings’ names well while I’m Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong?

“So what is Ara doing here? Why are you here?”

“I’m Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong’s subordinate!”

For a moment cold gazes gathered on me.

A, no even if glaring like that it’s the truth?

“Ara is a slime. Though the appearance is like a person.”

“Lie!”

Seona quickly clung to Ara and touched the cheeks. At the sudden skinship Ara stammered and was flustered.

“Such soft cheeks. And these tiny hands and feet are a slime?”

“Really.”

“I’m a slime! The great slime of great lord Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong!”

As if when was she hanging tears and running around suddenly puffed her chest and put hands on her waist. In her own way that seemed a cool posture, but coming now it was useless.

“Kyaa! Cute!”

...No, the effect seemed perfect.

While Seona was examining Ara’s this and that for a long time like that Jaeseong looked at the sweet potatoes.

“Harvested this time?”

“Uh. Just harvested. Try eating once. Want steamed, want roasted?”

“Both.”

Busy.

I split the sweet potatoes in half and handed half steamed and half roasted to Jaeseong, and also handed to Seona who was bickering with Ara for a long time.

“Sweet potatoes?”

“Delicious!”

“This is delicious?”

“Very very delicious! Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong who can create something like this is indeed amazing!”

Whether wanting to eat herself too seeing the sweet potatoes Ara looked at me with sparkling eyes. Knowing it would be like that I who brought even Ara’s share handed roasted sweet potatoes that looked over 10 roughly.

“Indeed Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong! My great lord!”

Whether happy that she received more sweet potatoes than Seona or Jaeseong Ara hugged the sweet potatoes full in her arms and body slammed me.

“Ooh?!”

And behind Jaeseong who ate the sweet potatoes’ surprised exclamation was bursting.

Soon Seona also tried eating one roasted sweet potato then made a blank expression and looked back at me.

The expression was as if asking ‘What did I just eat?’ but she didn’t open her mouth. Rather she was doing oral exercise diligently.

“What! Roasted sweet potatoes are even crazier? This is really...”

Leaving Jaeseong who fell into serious worry alone glaring at the sweet potatoes I decided to do the piled up work.

First organized the ash pile where I made roasted sweet potatoes, and slowly cleaned the field that still couldn’t be fully organized.

Wriggle! Wriggle!

As I moved the slimes also followed diligently and helped me. Probably Jaeseong and Seona would take a bit of time to escape that shock so I have to do the work in advance.

‘I have to plant sweet potatoes imbued with mana.’

If planting sweet potatoes imbued with mana mana sweet potatoes come out. Potatoes were already all planted, and it was the stage where sprouts were just about to sprout.

And one more thing I learned recently was that as a result of planting mana cherry tomatoes again the same mana cherry tomatoes came out.

‘The level was the same too.’

Is further improvement impossible?

I haven’t tried various things yet so it wasn’t certain but a bit regrettable.

If Mark Two’s level rises and the farming ability grows maybe some change would occur.

“Wow, working like this? Slimes are cute yet commendable.”

Before I knew it Seona who escaped the shock held sweet potatoes in one hand still and watched what I was doing.

“Me too! Me too helping Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong hard!”

“Waa, Ara is really good too. Cute yet nothing she can’t do!”

“Hehe.”

Seeing Ara twisting her body and being happy the thought came that though not intended it was good to have her face the younger siblings.

“Hyung! Can I use some raw sweet potatoes?”

“Hm?”

“I’ll try cooking this right now. This time I just came to play briefly because of Seona but my body is itching so I can’t endure.”

Jaeseong’s two eyes were blazing.

Anyway it seemed my sweet potatoes stimulated Jaeseong’s inspiration.

“For me thanks. And until now I haven’t fed Ara cooked things so it turned out well.”

“Never eaten cooked things?”

“Uh. At most boiled or steamed or roasted is all.”

“...This the sense of responsibility is heavy. It’s the first cooking for Ara.”

Ara was tilting her head saying ‘What is cooking?’ as her story came out.

“Ara, want to watch Jaeseong cooking?”

“Yeah! Watching!”

Whether looking fun even if not knowing what cooking is she quickly ran to Jaeseong. And the two, no including Seona the three went up as is.

Honestly except when going out briefly outside I never separated Ara once so uneasy but I decided not to worry.

‘Um, it seems I’m paying too much attention to Ara.’

No of course I have to pay attention.

But becoming a doting parent more than necessary seemed something I had to endure a bit.

Having sent the three up like that after finishing organizing the field and even planting new sweet potatoes preparations ended.

Because there were slimes the work ended quickly, before I knew it at the delicious smell wafting even to the lower floor I decided to go up gradually.

‘A slightly sweet smell.’

A too familiar feeling.

Anyway it seemed Jaeseong was preparing mattang.

Climbing the ladder and only sticking my head out and examining the atmosphere Jaeseong cooking in the frying pan, Ara watching that and dripping saliva from the mouth, and Seona wiping the saliva were visible.

“Sorry. I want to make something more amazing but no materials or tools.”

“Why sorry, slurp, is it. Making something that looks this delicious, slurp.”

Aigo.

Anyway the necessity of educating Ara is felt. At this rate the momentum of being kidnapped as is by a kidnapper saying I’ll buy delicious things so follow.

‘Saying kidnapped by delicious things suddenly Mr. Kang Hanul comes to mind.’

That hyung also can’t control himself if it’s food so it seemed he would match well with Ara. Come to think of it recently I haven’t contacted at all so while the younger siblings came I’ll go out briefly and contact once.

“Here, completed.”

“Uwaaa!”

Along with Ara’s excessive exclamation Jaeseong’s sweet potato mattang seemed completed. Certainly the smell being sweeter expectations arose.

“Uh? Hyung came up too.”

“Oppa come quickly.”

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong! Cooking called mattang! Mattang!”

Watching the fussing Ara I went quickly.

And I could discover an unexpected phrase.

[Sweet potato mattang imbued with mana]

“Uh?! Item display?”
