Ludendion Count’s Mansion (3)
New environment, delicious food, hands of goodwill toward itself.
For the slime, an environment where nothing is bad, but even so the curiosity of wanting to see more things remained.
No, rather since staying only in the mansion, the heart of wanting to see other places became even more intense.
The reason was.
“Alexandros the 2nd! I will read a book for you today too!”
The influence of the books Jessie reads every night was large.
The slime is the first pet that appeared for Jessie.
On top of that, since soft and good when embracing, even when sleeping she embraced and slept in the same bed.
The slime also liked the person’s body temperature and the touch of the soft pajamas so did not dislike even if Jessie embraced and slept.
And Jessie always read a book to the slime before sleeping.
‘Since this smart, reading a book will also like!’
Jessie who made a judgment looking at the actions shown until now even if the opponent is a monster took out books she saw fun when young from the study and read to the slime.
They were legends or tales, or biographies that even a child can easily read that Count Ludendion purchased when Jessie was even younger.
The books had many illustrations attached like fairy tale books so even a child can easily understand, and some books were ones Count Ludendion personally hired a fairy tale writer and painter and made only for Jessie.
Leaning her back against the headboard of the bed with the slime on her thigh, Jessie opened the book and read aloud.
The story of a hero who alone faced over hundreds of monsters and protected the city.
The story of a knight who crossed to the magic continent to treat a princess who got sick by an assassin and collected the arachne’s poison which is the material of the cure and returned.
The story of an adventurer who travels all over the continent and explores treasures.
And the story of the five heroes who opposed the calamity black dragon that Jessie likes the most.
Fairy tale-like ones also had short content so did not take long to read.
Moreover, every time Jessie recited the lines with her unique acting tone, the slime trembled burrur and reacted so Jessie found reading the book even more fun.
And it was not only Jessie who enjoyed the book reading time.
The slime also enjoyed the time Jessie reads the book.
Not only the content heard in Jessie’s voice, but through the pictures drawn in the book, the slime could also imagine scenery it has not yet seen.
At the same time, it also felt fun in the heroes’ stories themselves.
Because it is the story of living beings it does not know.
Meanwhile, the book reading time unintentionally also became good content for the viewers.
▶Why are humans’ stories so fun? lmao
▶Originally X food fights are fun.
▶I can also sweep about hundreds of humans then am I also a legend?
▶If you do it, it’s a calamity lmao
▶Can’t understand human perspective? lmao
▶Damn
▶Damn lmao
Those who purely enjoy the story of course.
[Yarn Lady]▶Oh my, the human who came then came to do this.
▶?? What sol?
[Yarn Lady]▶The arachne that comes out here. This is me.
There was also a viewer who becomes the original of the book and finds it wondrous.
▶Real?
▶lmao was the person there lmao
▶Same as the book content?
▶‘Even the arachne was moved by the knight’s earnest plea and directly gave the poison’ is this real?
If the person is there, comparing with the fact was natural.
[Yarn Lady]▶No. Not a plea but telling me to take out the poison?
▶So gave?
[Yarn Lady]▶Should I say I gave this? Doesn’t look tasty. If carelessly set up and our babies get hurt, no, so tried to resolve with poison.
▶ㅇㅇ.
[Yarn Lady]▶When I spat the poison, quickly avoided. And put the poison scattered on the floor into a bottle and ran away right away? Suddenly running away with only the poison, I was also flustered and just watched.
▶lmao
▶No lmao wasn’t a plea lmao
▶Just held the poison and ran lmao
Since one can hear even the truth directly from the person, it became even more excellent as content.
▶Not a plea, not moved, didn’t give, just spat and took.
▶What on earth matches lmao
▶Ack lmao took the poison lmao
It was a short time of 3 days, but since mukbang followed by book reading broadcast every day, the number of viewers watching the slime’s broadcast gradually increased.
If a monster overflowing with recognition desire, would have gotten excited seeing the increasing number of viewers, but the slime was not thinking of the broadcast itself to the extent of caring about views.
Rather, what is on the mind is more diverse scenery.
The thought of wanting to see directly the various scenery that came out in the books Jessie reads bloomed more.
It was such a time.
The 4th day since the slime arrived at the mansion.
Jessie, after finishing breakfast, embraced the slime and asked the maid Nina.
“Nina, can’t I go outside with Alexandros the 2nd?”
‘Outside!’
At Jessie’s words that brought up the topic of outside, the slime immediately reacted.
Since Jessie continuously reads books, the slime’s language understanding ability was also growing rapidly.
“No.”
“Why? Alexandros the 2nd is this cute and safe!”
“Still a monster. Cannot let a monster openly roam inside the count’s territory. The count also thinks so.”
“But Alexandros the 2nd wants to go outside.”
“What are you saying? The slime...”
“Alexandros the 2nd!”
“Ahem, how does the young lady know that Alexandros the 2nd wants to go outside?”
“Of course I know! Even when in the room, Alexandros the 2nd looks at the window unless I read a book! Surely wants to go outside! Since also likes book reading! Surely a kid with a lot of curiosity!”
Jessie accurately grasped the slime’s tendency with unbiased thinking even though a short time.
But even so, it is difficult for other people to accept it right away.
Nina also acknowledges that the slime is gentle and does not recklessly rush at people.
But it was difficult to think that the slime is that full of curiosity and has high intelligence.
No, even saw going up on Pin’s head following commands, but even so held suspicion whether a monster is really so.
“Young lady, there is no way the slime has that much curiosity...”
“It’s real! Look!”
Jessie put the slime down on the floor and said.
“Alexandros the 2nd! Want to go outside? If want to go out, jump 3 times!”
‘Outside! I want to go out!’
Poyong! Poyong! Poyong!
As if accurately understanding Jessie’s words, the slime jumped exactly 3 times.
“Look at this!”
“...You didn’t train it to jump 3 times when put on the floor, right?”
“No! Alexandros the 2nd! Nina doesn’t seem to believe our words! Jump around Nina!”
Poyong! Poyong!
As soon as Jessie’s words ended, the slime immediately jumped drawing a circle around Nina.
“Uh? Uh uh?”
“How! Alexandros the 2nd is smart! Stop jumping and come here!”
Poyong!
When Jessie reached out her hand, the slime accurately jumped and landed on Jessie’s hand.
“Really can’t take outside? Our Alexandros the 2nd is smart and listens well to words! Yes? Yes? No?”
“Ah, no. Without the count’s permission, no matter how much you...”
“Alexandros the 2nd! Secret weapon! Head massage!”
Poyong!
When Jessie raised her hand, the slime accurately landed on Nina’s head and then trembled its body burrur.
Along with the soft touch, constant vibration massaged Nina’s scalp.
“Ut!”
‘Exquisitely feels good!’
The fine vibration coming down the head the sensation of relieving the stiffness of the shoulders.
“Ah, aah. Wa, wait. Not the head but can try going up on the shoulder?”
‘Shoulder?’
Poyong!
When Nina slightly tilted her head to the side, the slime immediately moved the place from the head to the shoulder and trembled burrur.
“Ah, aah~ as thought this is just right good...!”
Receiving the Squishy-style vibration directly with the shoulder, Nina’s stiff shoulder seemed to loosen at once.
“Alexandros the 2nd! Come here! Our request not yet granted but no need to do more!”
Poyong!
The slime returned to Jessie’s embrace again.
“Ah...”
When the just right vibration disappeared, Jessie reflexively reached out her hand in regret.
And.
“Hihi.”
Seeing Jessie’s smile grinning, Nina who came to her senses immediately withdrew her hand and coughed emptily.
“Ahem! I know that Alexandros the 2nd listens to words very well.”
“Then can go outside?”
‘Outside!’
“That cannot be done by my judgment. Anyway the count’s permission is needed. Haa, first I will go ask the count.”
“Really! Thank you, Nina! Alexandros the 2nd! Let’s thank Nina together!”
‘Thank you! Nina!’
As if expressing its heart, the slime jumped softly on Jessie’s hand.
Nina thought that appearance cute unintentionally.
“I, I’m only proposing. Whether the count will permit is still unknown so please don’t expect too much.”
+++
“The report on the slime currently beside the young lady is as above.”
“Yes. Good work, Albert.”
Count Rufus Ludendion was receiving a report on the slime from the butler Albert.
Whether there were suspicious points in the past few days, whether there is any matter of harming his lovely angel Jessie.
But according to the report received, the slime was following Jessie very gently.
The appearance of the slime trembling burrur as if rejoicing every time eating food even the chef said there is worth making, and when moving Jessie deliberately put it on the head so the cuteness of the angel-like daughter was emphasized more.
For Count Ludendion, not being able to see such a lovely appearance of the daughter directly was truly regrettable.
Moreover, even before sleeping the daughter personally takes out books from the study and reads to the slime and it stays still.
Anyway, fortunate that the slime has not revealed aggression yet he thought.
But if there is a questionable point.
‘Intelligence looks considerably high.’
Not only the report, but even in Rufus’s direct eyes, the slime seemed to have considerable intelligence.
Like a pet that has lived with humans for several years.
No, to the extent of thinking perhaps communication fully works? the slime was following Jessie’s words well.
How well it follows, even the count’s madam exclaimed that it is a monster that really listens well to words.
That fact was at odds with the common sense Count Ludendion has.
Usually if a monster with that level of intelligence, it should have considerable strength, but since the target is a slime, he could not help but tilt his head.
When Count Ludendion was thinking about the slime.
“Father!”
His lovely angel entered the office holding the slime together with Nina.
“I want to go outside together with Alexandros the 2nd! I want to show our territory to Alexandros the 2nd!”
“Outside?”
“Yes! Nina also said it would be okay!”
“Count! It was words that it is okay if the count permits!”
“Alexandros the 2nd is really smart and gentle! So even if going outside will stay gentle! Please, father!”
“Hmm.”
Along with the daughter’s sparkling eyes, Nina’s judgment that thought okay though under the condition that he permits.
Above all, at the thought of wanting to judge directly how much intelligence the slime has, Count Ludendion opened his mouth.
“Yes. Then let’s go out for territory inspection together with me.”
“Really? Too happy, father! I love you!”
“Hahahahaha!”
At the love of the lovely angel, Count Ludendion laughed greatly.
‘Going out!’
Burrurrur!
The slime that understood it can go outside rejoiced and trembled inside Jessie’s embrace.
