Chapter 38

The items purchased at the dungeon supply store I had delivered to the house. Hearing that delivery is possible in one day I decided to stay one day at home this opportunity.

“Ara, want to sleep with grandma?”

“Uung.”

Ara who changed clothes before I knew it shook her head and grabbed my leg. The appearance of dozing was cute.

“Still following follows you the most, hey.”

“Haha.”

Father looked at me with envious eyes and entered the room. Mother still unable to give up wandered for a long time calling Ara then entered sullenly.

Whether or not Ara rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked trotting to the bedding first.

“Not sleeping?”

“Watch a bit more.”

Seona was watching such Ara in front of the door with a sinister expression. That guy is a bit scary?

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong.”

“Uh, Ara.”

“Our house, good.”

Ara muttering was funny yet cute.

Ultimately Seona lost her soul at that appearance and pushed me trying rebellion but was simply suppressed.

“Since close let’s come often from now.”

“Uung.”

Snore snore-

Watching Ara who fell asleep soon for a moment I also slowly closed my eyes.

* * *

As soon as the next morning arrived I could confirm the luggage that arrived in front of the house.

“What did you buy so much?”

Mother examined the dungeon supplies I bought with a surprised expression. I borrowed some carrier bags at home and somehow pressed and packed the luggage.

“Hyung, are you going around dungeons too?”

“No. That’s not it but...”

Strictly speaking exploring Gluttony’s dungeon is the same as going around dungeons but a bit ambiguous.

For now according to Ara’s words it’s a safe place so a bit different from the dungeon we commonly think.

“Later if opportunity I’ll invite.”

“What sound is that? Invite where?”

I roughly let Jaeseong’s words pass and stood up from the spot. The luggage was quite a lot so if not an awakener it seemed I couldn’t move at once.

This too relatively fortunate that the magic stone tent is a form compressed in magic stones so that size is very small. Of course the weight wasn’t reduced but the volume was small enough to enter a pocket.

“I’ll go now.”

“Can’t you leave Ara?”

“No. I’ll bring again next time.”

Without Ara I couldn’t even enter Gluttony’s dungeon. Ara who also plays the role of a kind of key and also plays the role of my bodyguard couldn’t be left.

...Even excluding that now life without Ara couldn’t even be imagined.

“Raising a son is all useless they said but cold.”

“I’ll come soon again. Until then you also look into a bit. Restaurant location or this and that.”

“Got it.”

Stepping out of the entrance mother and Jaeseong followed out. Father and Seona had already gone out from dawn long ago.

“Bye! Byeee~!”

Ara waved her hands fluttering and conveyed a greeting.

Mother also stood in front of the door for a long time waving her hand at that appearance.

“Coming again! Our house!”

“Yeah, let’s come again. But was it that good?”

“Was good! Great Lord Lord is good and Lee Jaeseong! Lee Seona too! Good!”

With Ara’s chatter speaking grinning as radio we could soon return to the dungeon.

As soon as arriving I put down the luggage first and checked if there were no special matters.

“Nothing happened right?”

Wriggle!

Dokdok stepped forward as representative and reported.

Even so it was all just wriggling.

Before departing to Gluttony’s dungeon I confirmed the gradually approaching ability cooldown.

‘Make slime and do liquid synthesis twice then depart right away.’

Slimes I was steadily generating without need to worry and liquid synthesis I used every day with one fruit and vegetable juice, and one slime synthesis.

“Time to spin gacha again.”

Recently the slime synthesis I do is unconditionally synthesis of two level 1 recruits. Already made guys have abilities fixed so synthesizing again and raising level has no big meaning.

Of course in the case of Mark Two who has farming ability or Dokdok who has poison ability I could continuously grow them but right now I didn’t feel the necessity so I was continuously drawing new level 2.

‘Until now level 2 are 9, and still no usable ability has come out.’

Water spraying, body inflating, spacing out, acrobatics, skin breathing etc.

Excluding Mark Two and Dokdok only abilities awkward to use somewhere came out. Nevertheless the reason I can’t stop synthesis is ultimately because a slime with usable ability like Mark Two or Dokdok might come out.

“Ooh! Recruit!”

As soon as cooldown became I summoned a recruit first.

And immediately synthesized with the original recruit one.

[Slime LV.1 and Slime LV.1 synthesize.]

[The combining slimes share all memories and experiences.]

[Slime LV.2 has been completed.]

Indeed this time?

[Slime LV.2]

An ordinary slime.

‘Liquid synthesis possible’

Ability: Body slam LV.1

“Something unique came out again.”

Body slam...

Still just in case I immediately ordered.

“Try body slam on me.”

Wriggle!

The guy who newly became level 2 nodded saying he understands and prepared. Then he crawled to me at full speed.

Wriggle- Wriggle-

“...”

Full speed... but extremely slow.

Waiting about 10 seconds the slime who finally arrived spouted hot passion.

Using this acceleration that ran at full speed I’ll show the body slam of a lifetime!

He was saying.

Plop.

“...”

“...”

The slime who hit my feet raised his head as if how is it. Clearly it was body slam but excluding the pant hem becoming wet nothing particular happened.

Wondering if this is the end me and Ara lost words and looked at the slime.

Undulate! Undulate!

How is it! This is exactly my ability body slam! Probably you received a tremendous shock but not blinking one eye indeed our Great Lord!

“...Tremendous shock is. In another meaning.”

This body slam slime guy compared to other guys had clear own will and was cheerful.

I attached the name Body Slam to that guy and soon scratched my head.

‘A bit regrettable?’

The regret I feel every time but today that emotion felt thicker. Anyway because the Body Slam guy fussed I seemed to expect without knowing.

“Eh, I don’t know. Today I’ll use both liquid synthesis on slimes.”

When I muttered monologue the recruits heard the story and approached undulating.

As if they set the order among themselves they lined up with excited appearances.

“Just synthesized but you guys set rules in your own way. Yeah, then let’s do you two first.”

I wondered if synthesizing might be disliked but seeing the current appearance the atmosphere seemed heated wanting to synthesize first among themselves.

Like that putting two recruits on the hand I used liquid synthesis once more.

Slurp!

The guys who combined in an instant soon became level 2 slimes.

“What came out this time!”

Before I knew it Ara also scattered strange eyes like a patient fallen into gambling and asked the result.

I took a deep breath once and casually checked the hand.

[Slime LV.2]

An ordinary slime.

‘Liquid synthesis possible’

Ability: Space expansion LV.1

“Oh? Oooh?”

What, this.

Space expansion? What? What ability is this?

When I was surprised and screamed Ara as if dying of frustration climbed my body and asked at my ear.

“What came out!”

“Space expansion!”

“Space expansion? Is it something to eat?”

For now I had to properly confirm the ability.

If that ability is the ability I know...

“Then, show your ability.”

The space expansion slime who received the order suddenly started swallowing the dungeon supplies beside.

“A, no! That’s not something to eat!”

“Wait a bit Ara. Let’s wait a little.”

The slime soon swallowed all those many luggage somehow then looked at me alone as if nothing.

“Can you spit out again?”

Undulate!

The slime who shook his body as if of course soon spit out all the items he swallowed. The spit out items seemed to have a bit of moisture remaining but with this it became clear.

“Space expansion item!”

Exactly a slime that plays the role of a space expansion item. As someone who didn’t know if such an ability was possible I felt like receiving an unexpected gift.

‘Curious how much the capacity will be.’

For now it wasn’t a small amount of items.

Even the ones here right now were quite a lot but seeing he swallowed without strain it was worth expecting.

Moreover right now only a level 2 slime.

If proceeding synthesis more and raising the level wouldn’t the space become much wider?

“Just in time good. Taking to Gluttony’s dungeon will be fine.”

“How is it! How is it! What ability is that!”

“Seems to play a role like a bag.”

“Bag?!”

Ara looked at the space expansion slime with eyes of seeing a strange item. No, eyes of seeing a competitor?

‘Because of that action just now thinking that slime can eat a lot.’

Thinking of worrying all sorts of things I smiled.

“I’ll make it so food doesn’t lack so don’t worry. Even if lacking Ara is first.”

“Indeed Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong!”

Whether worry lessened Ara who became a bright expression soon played touching the space expansion slime.

“Have to give a name.”

“Me! Can I give!”

“Yeah, then. Ara try giving once.”

Ara made a fully excited expression then when the time to give a name came she worried with a serious expression.

“What name do you want to have?”

Undulate?

“Anything is fine? How can that be! It’s your name!”

Watching the strange conversation between the two I slowly prepared and also looked around the field once fully. Since I don’t know how many days I’ll spend in Gluttony’s dungeon it was a feeling of checking overall.

‘This time I’ll take Mark Two too.’

Mark Two, Dokdok, and the space expansion slime and Ara.

I was thinking of going this simply.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong! Decided the name!”

“Oh? What is it?”

The name Ara gave...

Curious what she would give.

“Vegetable stir-fry!”

“Vegetable stir-fry?

...

Was my expectation too big?

Whether Ara also noticed my reaction was strange she suddenly fidgeted and said.

“Th, then how about mattang?”

“Mattang?”

“Uuu...”

Whether naming is difficult Ara whose eyes suddenly started spinning.

“Just let’s do vegetable stir-fry. It’s fine.”

“Oh! Was it really fine? Hihi! Vegetable stir-fry!”

“Th, that...”

No matter how thinking vegetable stir-fry was a bit too much.

Ultimately I decided to find a compromise.

“How about Bokkeum?”

“Bokkeum?”

“Uh.”

“Oh! Fine! Even if not vegetable Bokkeum!”

Like that the space expansion slime’s name became Bokkeum.

Still feeling that Ara has affection in her own way, for Ara food is very precious and important so it seemed she gave such a name.

...That is right?

“Now departing!”

“Uh. Just in time thanks to Bokkeum luggage also reduced so have to depart right away.”

I called Mark Two and Dokdok and said we’re going on a trip. Prepared food to eat in Gluttony’s dungeon and instructed Bokkeum to swallow the luggage.

‘This is honey? It can move too?’

Bokkeum who swallowed the luggage the weight didn’t increase.

I couldn’t know what principle it is but it was upward compatible than ordinary space expansion items.

Like that finishing all preparations we headed to the entrance of Gluttony’s dungeon again.

-Confirming the dungeon’s owner, Gluttony Gula.

-Entry is permitted.

-Remaining mana: 7/10

Last time it was something I just passed by but what meaning is that remaining mana? At first it seemed 8 but it decreased.

Looking at remaining mana the number decreasing doesn’t seem good but right now information I can find out is little.

For now concentrate on exploration.

“This time’s goal is the sparkle sparkle tree.”

“Ooh!”

The film I saw before was visible and we stepped toward Gluttony’s dungeon.
