Ludendion Count’s Mansion (2)
Rufus Ludendion recalled the past with a distant expression.
The time was 20 years ago.
A time when he had not even gotten engaged yet.
At the time, the world was an era where the fame of the heroes was passionately spreading more than now.
And Rufus Ludendion also longed for the legends the past heroes established.
So much that one of his treasures was a biography that wrote the heroes’ vivid appearances.
Rufus Ludendion was longing for the Starlight Archer, Nellin, among the heroes.
Most longed for the human race warriors.
The Iron Wall Shield Aldor Meyer or the mage Ventus Frail, but Rufus Ludendion liked the Starlight Archer.
Because the appearance of covering colleagues from afar and delivering the finishing blow was too attractive.
Above all, isn’t she from the blue elf forest closest to the territory he will rule!
At the same time, there was also a heart similar to a fresh crush toward the elf hero rumored to be beautiful.
For such Rufus Ludendion, there was no better news.
It was the news that Nellin visits the count’s territory to deepen the friendship between the count’s territory and the blue elf forest more.
The day before Nellin visited, Rufus Ludendion could not even sleep properly due to anticipation.
And the next day.
Rufus Ludendion first faced Nellin.
“Nice to meet you for the first time, Nellin-nim. My name is Rufus Ludendion. Meeting you whose fame as the Starlight Archer is widespread is really! Really an honor!”
“What? You were my fan? Yes, nice to meet you.”
“Ah...”
The smile Nellin made heated Rufus Ludendion’s heart hotly like sunlight.
The smile the longed-for hero makes.
Especially since the elf’s unique beauty was also combined, that destructive power was too intense for the young Count Ludendion.
The moment Rufus Ludendion’s fresh crush changed into first love.
However, regrettably.
Gulp gulp gulp!
“Kyahaa~! As expected alcohol taste has to be like this! Very good good! Good, then next I will tell the story of when I exactly! hit an arrow on that one-eyed kid’s eye of the cyclops!”
“Yes... it is an honor...”
On the day he fell into first love, Rufus Ludendion’s first love shattered crash.
No matter how much a biography, the content is adapted depending on the person transcribing.
But the ‘Nellin’s personality’ of the biography Rufus Ludendion read was too adapted.
In the biography, Nellin of course has the character thinking of colleagues
“Then Aldor, that kid secretly stole and ate my jerky? Really I was saving it. So I gave one arrow to the butt! Yes? Wound? Okay! Okay! One healing from Fresia and it all heals!”
And possesses dignity and elegance fitting an elf.
“Chomp chomp! Kuu! As expected meat is best eaten by tearing even the flesh attached to the bone without leaving! Ah, give one more here!”
And said to have purity fitting the beautiful appearance.
“You said Rufus? Do you have a fiancée? If there is a story of being close~ with the fiancée or something to boast, tell me a bit. Uh, our forest kids are yes? Innocent and kind but. No fun, no fun. Oh right, isn’t that it? Even though called saintess and worshipped around, Fresia that one is also secretly revealing...”
Rufus Ludendion wanted to grab the collar of the one who wrote the biography and shake.
This is not the Nellin-nim I thought!
Of course, since the personality was different from what was written in the biography, the illusion Rufus had of a gentle and elegant Nellin shattered completely.
But, even so the longing toward the person of the Starlight Archer Nellin did not disappear.
The achievements she accomplished were undeniable facts.
Above all, setting aside the personality view, looking only at her exploits, it was certain she is a hero worthy of respect.
A hero who believes in colleagues and does not yield to any adversity and willingly throws her body for weak people.
The respect toward her still remained in Rufus Ludendion’s heart.
As time passed, through engagement, married. Gave birth to a sturdy son and a daughter too much like an angel.
The son grew dignified and is currently studying at the capital academy, the daughter always made laughter flowers bloom in the mansion with a smile like an angel.
But the angel-like daughter ended up resembling him too much.
Because she came to like the Starlight Archer Nellin-nim like his past self!
If the daughter meets Nellin-nim like his past self?
Surely the illusion will shatter.
The daughter who saw the true appearance of the longed-for target will have that delicate heart shatter crash and shed tears.
‘Such a thing absolutely cannot be tolerated!’
He himself met at an age that experienced all hardships and overcame it.
He thought the daughter who is not even an adult yet would find it difficult to overcome easily like him.
“Can’t help it. Have to permit keeping that slime for the time being.”
“Yes, I also think so.”
Count Ludendion accepted Nina’s advice.
A mere slime can somehow prepare countermeasures.
But blocking Jessie from wanting to meet Nellin was difficult to prepare proper countermeasures.
The longing heart cannot be blocked.
He knows. Because he experienced. Therefore, had to turn the gaze elsewhere even more.
And. While looking for a method for Jessie to meet Nellin, she might notice the fact that the count’s territory and the blue elf forest regularly trade.
If it becomes so.
Why did you hide until now! I could have met Nellin-nim several times! Father hate!
“Ugh...!”
“Count?! Why suddenly the chest! Ah, does it hurt?”
“No, it’s okay. Imagining Jessie hating me made the chest hurt.”
“Ah... is that so.”
Count Ludendion who made the decision entered Jessie’s room again.
“Jessie, that slime is... huh?”
As soon as entering the room, Count Ludendion could not help but be flustered at the scenery visible.
“Waa! Exactly landed!”
“Really listens well to words, this slime.”
“Pin? What on earth are you doing?”
“Ah, count.”
The slime was on top of Pin’s head.
And Jessie was looking at that appearance and clapping hands and exclaiming.
“Father! Look at this! Really a slime that listens well to words and is smart! I said to go up on Pin’s head and it went up like this!”
“Yes, really a smart slime.”
‘The slime understands words?’
Surprised at the slime’s appearance much smarter than thought, but Count Ludendion decided to first convey his decision to Jessie
“Jessie, for the time being I will watch that slime. But if it seems dangerous, I will send it out right away, understood?”
At the words that are virtually the same as permission, Jessie’s face bloomed a bright smile like a flower.
“Yes! Father! I love you!”
‘As expected Jessie is my angel!’
Today also the doting father aspect becoming thicker was Count Ludendion.
“Come this way!”
When Jessie said to the slime while reaching out her hand, the slime immediately jumped down from Pin’s head onto Jessie’s hand.
Poyong!
Jessie embraced the slime that landed on her hand and said.
“Let’s get along well from now! Alexandros the 2nd!”
“Alex.”
“andros.”
“the 2nd?”
At the sudden title, not only Count Ludendion but also Pin and Jessie were flustered.
“Young lady, what on earth is Alexandros the 2nd?”
“This kid’s name!”
“Why did you name such a name?”
“This kid is soft and cute and extremely smart! So I named the hero’s name! Do you know? Alexandros is a hero who defeated numerous monsters hundreds of years ago!”
“Th, that is so. But where did the 2nd come from?”
“Because small, the 2nd! If just Alexandros, it would be strange somehow? So I attached the 2nd cutely!”
“Ah, because small...”
Though flustered, there was no one who refuted the slime’s name Jessie named.
However the name is named, that was the heart of the owner Jessie.
Rather, the ones showing various reactions were the chat window.
[Noblesse Fire]▶Alex lmao andros lmao
▶Extremely cool name lmao well done, Squishy lmao no,; Alexandros the 2nd lmao
[Yarn Lady]▶The name is not cute! As expected I like Squishy-nim!
▶Naming a monster the name of a monster hater guy what?
▶Cool, have a drink.
[Squishy Queen]▶Hmm, the sense of naming as a human is not bad.
[Noblesse Fire]▶Is that kind of name Squishy’s taste? Doesn’t match the damn weak Squishy at all.
[Squishy Queen]▶Noisy! The same kind will gradually become stronger!
Meanwhile, the slime still did not properly understand the name named for it.
▷What is Alexandros?
[Free Spirit]▶Your name.
▷? I am Squishy!
[Noblesse Fire]▶ㅇㅇ the nickname is that. But that one calls you Alexandros the 2nd lmao
▷???
It does not know why it is called Alexandros the 2nd, but it could understand only that the human embracing it calls it that way.
+++
3 days since the slime arrived at the noble mansion.
“Heheheung~.”
“Young lady... do you have to put it on the head?”
“Why? The top of the head is soft and good. Moreover the head is also cool?”
“Is that so.”
In Count Ludendion’s mansion, a rare scene unfolded.
Jessie who saw the slime that went up on Pin’s head instructed the slime to also try going up on her own head.
And the moment the slime went up on the head.
The softness felt on top of the head and the just right coolness captured Jessie’s heart.
After that, she put the slime on her head whenever there was a chance and wandered inside the mansion.
It wobbled a bit every time Jessie walked, but the slime never fell from on top of Jessie’s head.
The force control technique practiced to adapt after evolution was utilized.
“Really gentle, this sli...”
“Alexandros the 2nd!”
“Alexandros the 2nd. Young lady. Can’t you call it a bit short at least? Since it looks soft, how about Squishy?”
“No! Not cool!”
The slime did not dislike being on top of Jessie’s head.
Looking at the world from a high viewpoint was also to its liking, and above all the slime liked staying in this mansion.
What it liked the most was of course food.
Even if a monster, one cannot give leftover food to the slime that became the pet Jessie cherishes.
The foods given to the slime every meal time were things the chef made with sincerity.
Of course high-class steak with lots of seasonings, stew, noodle dishes, even fish.
The life of experiencing new ‘delicious’ 3 times a day was truly like heaven for the slime.
So much that it looked delicious that even the viewers watching the broadcast envied.
▶Why does only that one eat such things? Why does only that one eat such things? Why does only that one eat such things?
▶What is it suddenly becoming regular mukbang? Damn hungry.
▶Can’t stand it! Going hunting!
[Just Ram and See]▶Ra, raw meat... raw meat with blood flowing is the best! The best ooooo!
▶Is it real that human kids eat different things every meal?
If a broadcaster with a dirty personality, would tease and provoke the viewers every time eating, but the pure slime just.
▷Delicious!
said only its impression.
There was no way the slime would have dissatisfaction living such a happy life.
However, if there is just one dissatisfaction.
‘I want to see...’
It was that it has never gone outside for 3 days.
