Chapter 40

Chapter 40

When Jaeseong made it was only 1 serving.

But this time because I prepared set mind I could make no less than 50 servings at once.

‘Trimming the materials was hard.’

When briefly stopping by the dungeon with Jaeseong I trimmed all in advance. That’s why returning home took long but thanks to that now is convenient.

“Smell good!”

Already beside Ara and the slimes were eating up like hiding crab eyes.

With the thought of not losing I lifted one big spoon of the spoon.

Not simply only curry smell but the complex subtle scents of the vegetables and Ambergrill mixed and further stimulated the appetite.

“Aum!”

Finally the first spoon entered the mouth.

The familiar taste of curry, but the taste of curry never eaten until now.

‘D, delicious...!’

I expected but the taste of the curry melting was truly excellent. The crops with strong individuality so I worried a bit but like when Jaeseong did each revealed presence while melting harmoniously.

Casually curious about other guys’ reactions and looking beside in a fairy tale-like scenery the appearance of having a food fight was visible.

Munch munch!

What should I call that.

Combat inhalation?

Even giving 20 servings Ara’s plate that already decreased half was visible.

Well, since it seems to her liking fortunate.

To begin with delicious to the extent it can’t not be to liking.

“Hoo, hoo. Haap!”

Because the curry was hot I blew breath and ate slowly. Unlike the slimes I wasn’t a big eater so 1 serving was sufficient.

...Honestly I wanted to eat more but for my share only exactly 1 serving remained.

“Hoo!”

Surrounded by the dreamy scenery of nature and eating the fantastic curry it was difficult to distinguish if this is reality or dream.

‘Farming is farming but good to come for healing too.’

If thoroughly exploring and grasping there are no dangerous monsters I’ll have to show the family once too.

Lick lick-

Before I knew it I ate all the curry.

With a somehow regrettable heart scraping the bottom with the spoon, beside they were even licking the bowl.

“Ara, was it delicious?”

“Too too too! Was delicious!”

In the meantime Bokkeum threw his body into the pot that made the curry. The will to lick even the remaining curry marks was great.

Wriggle!

Ultimately Mark Two and Dokdok also participated and a pot scramble occurred.

If someone sees they’d think starving.

“Me too! Me too eating!”

“Hehe, no need for dishwashing.”

Seeing the struggling slimes and clean bowls laughter came out.

While the kids play I roughly finished the cleanup.

Finishing cleanup and stretching the chair long and lying down there was no separate heaven.

“The weather is cool so good.”

In front the brazier making crackle crackle sounds as if putting firewood and scenery like a picture, and cute slimes.

Before I knew it whether tired of playing Ara wriggled and approached beside me and stuck tightly. The chair became narrow but rather good.

Undulate?

The slimes who saw that appearance also stuck to me one by one. I hugged the guys held in both arms and watched the stars.

“Shall we sleep a bit.”

I set the alarm and fell asleep in the state of hugging the kids.

* * *

Beep beep! Beep beep!

With a cheerful alarm the eyes opened.

Casually just raising the head the slimes staying still in that posture and Ara who fell asleep snoring before I knew it were visible.

I carefully put the sleeping Ara down on the chair and decided to gradually organize.

Wriggle wriggle-

“Uh, pack this in advance.”

Asking Bokkeum to pack the luggage I folded the tent first. Yesterday ultimately fell asleep on the chair but today have to sleep in the tent.

Like that collecting all the tent that became magic stone and the barrier sticks wrapping around cleanup ended.

Gulp!

Seeing Bokkeum who swallowed all the luggage the thought that luck was really good came.

‘If I had to carry those many luggage directly...’

One or two days’ luggage is fine but more than that seemed hard. Thanks to Bokkeum the luggage I have to pack directly is about the backpack with Ara’s snacks.

“Uuung!”

Slightly organizing Ara’s head stretching and checking once more if there’s nothing left.

“Then shall we depart again?”

“Departing!”

Ara who became lively shouted powerfully and did a hurrah.

Probably around today I could arrive at the sparkle sparkle tree and if so it would be a schedule taking about 4 days round trip.

‘Really extremely wide.’

The sparkle sparkle tree that looked close enough to use as a landmark one way two days. To examine all the remaining areas of the dungeon it seemed it might take several months, maybe over 1 year.

Starting to walk a bit I could arrive at the boundary of the shallow forest.

“Hm? The bugs disappeared?”

Until pitching the tent beside and playing many flying bugs like fireflies were not visible at all.

Did they all run away because we approached closely? For that they weren’t visible from the time of departing.

“Soon the time the sparkle sparkle tree becomes sparkle sparkle!”

“What?”

“The shining bugs also all went to the sparkle sparkle tree!”

Ara’s vocabulary belonged to the okay side more than expected. Nevertheless the words just said were difficult to understand.

“I don’t know what it is but not dangerous right?”

“Not! Umm...!”

Whether difficult to express with words Ara who groaned soon clapped her hands once shortly.

“Ah! Night is coming!”

“Night?”

Already night?

When I looked up at the sky Ara laughed kyarruk.

“Now is still day!”

“Now is day?”

“When night comes the sparkle sparkle tree becomes sparkle sparkle! No! When the sparkle sparkle tree becomes sparkle sparkle that’s night!”

“Ah, you distinguished day and night that way?”

“That’s it! Indeed Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong! Smart!”

In other words it seemed she distinguished the time of a day based on the sparkle sparkle tree.

Thinking of a novel distinction method we slowly moved our feet into the forest. Entering inside unlike expecting it would be dark it was brighter than expected.

“Umm, ordinary.”

Because I only saw too fantasy-like scenery the forest felt ordinary. Of course the plants inside the forest were all kinds I don’t know but that was the same on Earth so the same.

“Ate this too!”

“Moss?”

Ara who tore light green moss quickly brought to the mouth. Seeing the appearance of munching with a happy expression curiosity rose in me too.

“Can I eat too?”

“Fine.”

Tearing a bit of moss and eating a weak mint-like scent was felt. But no particular taste.

Pururuk-

“Uh?”

Then the deer I saw the previous day was visible again.

But this time it was an appearance of forming a herd.

“Waa.”

Something I read in the explanation but the deer who changed to gorgeous colors when forming a herd were drawing a kind of picture.

It seemed an eye trick trying to look like one large animal by forming a herd, and that appearance was very beautiful.

“Oh! Pururuk!”

“Haha.”

At the cute naming sense laughter came out.

The Pururuk Ara named were wary of us but didn’t get scared. Probably the point of forming a herd seemed to instill courage.

“But the sizes are all small?”

I thought the Pururuk I saw the previous day was a fawn but seeing now it seemed adults. Looking carefully small deer the size of rabbits were visible.

Because the body is that small they form a herd and try eye tricks.

Puruk!

The Pururuk with small horns at the very front approached with big strides. Wondering what guts, the approaching guy was looking at Ara and shaking his tail lively.

‘Strange?’

Thinking about it this feeling wasn’t once or twice. At the dungeon break the horn cows also showed such a reaction looking at Ara...

“Leila?”

Leila that raises monster affinity.

And Ara ate a bit over 10 Leila alone until now.

There was an explanation that monster affinity rises permanently but the limit was five times...

Wondering just in case I decided to confirm Ara’s status window. Confirmation after a long time since the first meeting.

[Ara (Gluttony)]

One of the seven deadly sins and the demon in charge of gluttony. A slime possessing unknown potential. Lee Gyuseong’s familiar.

Ability: Gluttony, Breath, Physical strengthening, Affinity

“Eeng?”

Something changed a lot.

First the name. Previously it was the demon’s name but now changed to ‘Ara’. And in the explanation it was clearly specified that she is my familiar.

Next the ability.

“Crazy.”

Physical strengthening and affinity that weren’t there previously were visible.

And these two are clearly...

‘Physical strengthening is the effect attached to sweet potato mattang, and affinity is mana Leila.’

Clearly thanks to the ability of gluttony.

But I really couldn’t imagine it would be this degree.

This degree isn’t it the strongest ability?

Pururuk!

“Hehe, Pururuk. Hehe.”

Ara stroked the Pururuk who approached closely.

Whether the guy likes that touch too he closed even his eyes and rubbed his head.

I stealthily took out Leila from Ara’s snack container and ate. And slowly approached.

“I also want to eat Leila.”

As expected the smell came.

Thanks to the scent of Leila I couldn’t hide I handed the snack container to Ara and slowly approached the deer.

Anyway whether the monster affinity buff properly activated the Pururuk who tilted his head and looked without running away.

“Right, good.”

Carefully stretching my hand and touching.

Then the Pururuk who flinched soon stood still stiffened.

Anyway Ara’s affinity seemed much higher.

“Delicious!”

Ara while eating Leila even shared to the slimes. Then she also handed to the Pururuk I was touching.

“Want to try eating? Suuuper! Delicious!”

When Ara stretched holding Leila in hand the Pururuk’s tail shook lively again. But whether no particular interest in Leila he only rubbed his head.

Like that a short communion time passed and the only Pururuk with small horns returned to the herd.

“Au.”

Ara whether regrettable clenched and opened her hand and made a groaning sound.

Pururuk!

“Bye!”

Puruk!

The Pururuk herd nodded as if greeting then moved as a group and disappeared. That appearance looked as if a huge dragon wriggling and moving.

“Wow.”

“Ooh! Amazing!”

Anyway if exploring Gluttony’s dungeon more it seemed I could meet other living creatures too. Don’t tell me only that deer herd lives on such a wide land.

“Then shall we enter more?”

“Entering!”

The sparkle sparkle tree was right in front.

Parting with the Pururuk and entering inside the scenery gradually changed. The forest was the same but the trees forming that forest as if...

“These all seem tree roots?”

The wooden pillars I thought as trees were not stuck in the ground but stretched long from somewhere.

And in that direction there existed a huge tree that approached to the extent not contained in one glance now.

Anyway it seemed the things that look like trees are all roots of that sparkle sparkle tree.

“In the past I ate these trees too.”

“A, yeah?”

“Because I ate too much the trees hurt so I endured.”

“...I see.”

I don’t know what appearance Ara was in the past but even with the exterior of a small child eating this much roughly imagination went.

Honestly even now if greedily wouldn’t she be able to eat endlessly.

“Bugs!”

Then Ara pointed somewhere and shouted.

The bugs like fireflies I saw the previous day were flying around.

“Seems almost arrived now.”

-Hiik!

Hm? What sound?

I momentarily wondered if the sound Ara made and looked back but it seemed not.

Ara also whether heard the same sound as me perked both ears and looked around.

“Mark Two, Dokdok, Bokkeum. Not the sound you guys made right?”

Undulate?

Indeed not the sound the slimes made.

Then the sound heard just now...

“Ung?!”

Ara pointed her finger once more.

But whether quite flustered she couldn’t speak properly.

Turning the gaze there among the flying bugs that looked like fireflies there existed humans the size of a palm.

Exactly riding trees and looking at us.
