Chapter 88

Kirik-!

All around green waves.

A place where green skinned dwarves swarming.

A goblin dungeon.

-Kirik! Food insufficient!

-No food! Kiik.

Among numerous monsters goblins classified as low-grade monsters. But that number unusual.

Dungeon another ecosystem.

Food chain exists and monster reproduction also occurs. That’s why if dungeon not subjugated and neglected monster numbers increasing natural reason.

But goblin dungeon a low grade dungeon.

Moreover goblins like shiny things and despite appearance monsters called masters of craftsmanship. Thanks to that for humans goblin dungeon the same as a treasure warehouse.

That’s why until goblin numbers becoming this many not subjugated something strange.

-Have to tell the great king!

-Go find the great king! Kirik!

The goblin group rushed somewhere.

The place they arrived a building built like a huge temple. Unlike other places particularly splendid and gorgeous place.

-Kreuk!

The gatekeeper goblins guarding the entrance growled. Unlike ordinary goblins guys burly enough to be orcs. Of course height small.

-Let meet the great king!

-Let meet! Let meet!

When not letting enter the temple the grouped goblins immediately sat in front and started shouting. Some guy when prepared even red headband on the head.

And seeming not one or two times such the gatekeepers sighing and just watching.

-Hunger strike!

-Let meet! Let see the great king!

-But our food none so inevitably hunger striking not, kirik?

-H, hunger strike!

As days pass the protesting goblins only increasing. Now gradually when the empty lot in front of the temple filling finally someone came out from inside.

-The great king! Kiik!

-Great king! Please daily food for us! Kirik!

Unlike other goblins a goblin with red skin. On the head a quite gorgeous crown put.

-Quiet.

-...

-...

When the red goblin spoke momentarily wrapped in silence.

The red goblin who looked at that appearance satisfyingly opened the mouth again.

-Dear fellow countrymen. Very glad to see faces like this.

-Heukheuk! Love you, great king!

-Believe in the great king!

The guys protesting until right before changed to enthusiastic fans with mere two words and shouted.

And the great king goblin as if wanting more praise raised the head and silent. Then in an instant the wave of protest changed to praise time.

-Great king! Great king!

-Just seeing the dragon face stomach full!

-Finally responded to our words! The great king is god!

Like that for a while receiving praise baptism the great king goblin casually raised the hand. Then the goblins closed mouths again.

-Dear fellow countrymen. Your hardships this Mamon also well knows. And the reason not revealing appearance to you until now to devise a solution to this problem.

-Ooh! Indeed the great king, kirik!

-Aa, dizzy. Great king too cool.

-Kirik! Someone fainted here!

-In, indeed great king! Amazing charm! Fainting with words alone!

Amid fussing mistaking the goblin who fainted from anemia due to not eating the great king goblin Mamon said.

-We will soon go outside! And seize numerous territories and food!

-Outside?!

-F, finally!

At Mamon’s declaration everyone opened mouths.

Actually from before a crack able to go outside gradually opening.

But due to Mamon’s restraint no one went out and finally that time approaching.

-Past days! Will take revenge on the humans who mercilessly trampled our territory and caused numerous sacrifices! And snatch all the food built with their blood and sweat!

-Ooo!

-Revenge! Revenge of my 156th brother!

At Mamon’s declaration everyone excited.

The goblins with a record of attacked once boiled with hope of taking revenge at the same time obtaining food.

-But not immediately!

-Eeng?

-Hunger strike! Hunger strike!

At Mamon’s words the goblins who soon changed attitude started heating. Even at the appearance of goblins changing like reeds Mamon leisurely continued words.

-Sufficient preparation needed! If not me when humans invaded we would have lost miserably! So your help needed!

At Mamon’s words the goblins recalled past days.

The appearance of mad humans sweeping fellow kind with eyes lit.

Themselves who only helplessly suffered.

-Sc, scary. Kirik!

-H, have to prepare! Have to do twice! Have to do three times!

Except Mamon mere ordinary goblins. The goblins mere low-grade monsters trembling and regained coolness.

-So from today! Will raise your taxes!

-Eeng?

-H, hunger strike?

Mamon grinned.

-Need taxes to prepare for battle! Please much interest!

Ara holding the slime fragment widened eyes.

Me and representative Baek watching that appearance swallowing dry saliva.

“So? What that?”

“This...!”

Not even ‘will return in 60 seconds’ why pausing so, Ara.

Still with eyes widened Ara holding the slime fragment in hand finally opened the mouth again.

“Slime!”

“...”

“...”

I waited a bit more. That not the end right.

But contrary to expectation as if that the end Ara looked at me and representative Baek with a proud expression.

“...Uh?”

“That the end?”

Ara also seeing our reaction ambiguous contrary to her expectation soon tilted.

“Uum... The slime knew?”

“Oh, knew?”

But speech somehow anxious. Not just made up now?

“Only crying and frustrating?”

“Huk.”

Ara criticizing so!

What slime on earth?

‘In that small fragment mana alone reaching grade 7 magic stone level yet a slime only crying and frustrating?’

No but such strong slime besides Ara also exists? Indeed the world wide and still many not revealed.

‘Why such shape now?’

Item name slime fragment so know slime. But how can make return to original?

My slime lord ability able to dominate and subjugate all slimes. In short even if that fragment slime a strong existence meaning can make my subordinate.

“Then how can turn that slime back to original?”

“If giving a lot of delicious fine?”

Hearing Ara’s words ending with question mark could know Ara also not certain.

To begin with if slime dies just disappearing right but this why remained in fragment form also question.

“Hmm.”

Still as slime’s fragment liquid synthesis possible not? But touching again hard like a stone.

Like that immersed in thought Ara picked a cherry tomato piece from the salad and brought to the slime fragment.

At that pure appearance without knowing laughter coming and cutely appreciating but...

Grab!

‘Grab?’

Seemed heard a sound that shouldn’t be heard.

Soon blinked eyes wondering if saw wrong but the cherry tomato held in Ara’s hand disappeared.

“Did I see wrong?”

“I also saw.”

Representative Baek shaking head enthusiastically and agreeing with me.

Clearly that slime fragment seemed swiping the cherry tomato at a speed not even visible to the eyes. Not seeing exactly so not certain but.

“Ooh!! Eating well!”

In the meantime our Ara clapped and liked.

Then picked other foods and brought to the slime fragment.

Soon concentrating and watching the food disappeared at a tremendous speed like the first.

Clap clap clap!

“Ooh!”

Ara as if seeing the admirable appearance of a pet rejoiced and grinned.

“Never imagined such. Tried various experiments in the guild but didn’t think of giving food.”

“Anyone not so? Never thought an item would eat food...”

Wait a moment.

This guy, how much eating?

As it was family members mostly big eaters now even item eating food?

‘...Make work harder, no have to.’

Like that newly resolving and asked Ara.

“If slime what slime?”

“Uum, memory not well. Too old.”

Self-proclaimed 3,500 years old Ara so forgettable. Of course not believing that age but me also if trying to recall kindergarten friends many not remembering.

Originally even after a few years if not continuously contacting natural to forget.

Like that leaving a slight happening behind the meal ended. Dance practice also ended Ara casually pulled my clothes and asked.

“Want to do again.”

“Yes? Then come every day?”

“Can come every day?!”

Ara’s both eyes became as big as lanterns.

Event not much remaining so if only during then can come every day.

“Mr. Gyuseong.”

“A, yes. Ms. Soyeon.”

“Not so how about sleeping and going today?”

At Jeong Soyeon’s words Ara opened eyes and mouth to the extent couldn’t open bigger.

“Can sleep and go?!”

Spending a day together with friends quite stimulating for Ara seeming. At the fully excited Ara’s air couldn’t bear to say no.

“Still fine?”

“Of course!”

Jeong Soyeon smiling and nodding.

“Uwa! Indeed Jeong Soyeon Soyeon!”

“I’ll tell the director and come.”

“Thank you.”

Somehow became sleeping and going.

Slightly catch leaving the field one day empty but since slept and went at the main house too not a matter to particularly care.

Anyway the slimes do all on own but for no reason heart uneasy me also extreme.

“Waaa! Then can I go play!”

“Uh. Play with friends.”

“Waaa!!”

Ara quickly handed the box containing the slime fragment to me and ran. At the appearance of running udada wondered why not packing Ara earlier.

‘Too only worked?’

Even if entrusting overall farm work to the slimes managing that and harvesting and business all my work.

So suddenly thought of whether too not packing Ara or family members.

‘Packed family but actually a bit neglected the slimes seeming.’

Of course the slimes high probability not feeling so. To begin with Ara said farming itself the best welfare not?

Moreover can eat delicious food to heart’s content so for the slimes might be heaven on earth.

Still for me looking at such Ara’s appearance couldn’t help but desire to make more experiences, better memories.

Doomchit doomchit!

Before I knew it Ara showing the dance learned today among friends. Still clumsy dance moves but rather because cute popular among the kids.

Click!

Jeong Soyeon also before I knew it taking photos.

“Hmm.”

And representative Baek examining that appearance carefully again. Cold businessman’s eyes!

‘...Envious?’

Lived among fierce familiars so understanding. Still don’t eye others’ child!
