Chapter 31

Godric Party (3)

‘Coins! 100!’

The coins it occasionally received as donations.

If these accumulate to 100, the shop opens.

The slime that learned a new fact additionally asked the system.

‘How many are there now?’

[Currently acquired coins 47. Accumulated coins are 62.]

‘Wa!’

Though the shop has not opened yet, the slime rejoicing at the fact that more than half has passed.

The slime informed the viewers of this joy it felt.

▷Coins! Obtained! 10 coins! Obtained!

▶Obtained coins?

▶Can obtain coins with that red goblin?

▶ㅇㅇ since obtaining coins is relative, can be so.

▶Miss it, there was a time I also earned damn many coins.

▶I have to earn by damn grinding to obtain coins lmao

▶Still if goblin is 10 coins, obtained a lot.

[Just Ram and See]▶Khehahaha! A refreshing body slam! Squishy!

[Yarn Lady]▶Excited Squishy-nim is cute whenever looking~.

While the slime was watching the chats, the Godric Party cut the Scarlet Goblin’s ear and put it in the bag.

If other monsters, cutting other body parts would become money, but the goblin’s body had no particular use.

But as subjugation evidence, could receive reward by cutting the ear.

After returning, the Godric Party put the bag containing the goblin’s ears on the reception desk of the adventurer guild.

“Here, evidence.”

“Caught a lot. Please wait a moment.”

One of the receptionist’s jobs is quickly and accurately counting the spoils that are also subjugation evidence.

She with 3 years of receptionist career confidently opened the bag and tried to count the goblin’s ears.

“Uh?”

And the moment opening the bag, the receptionist’s eyes widened.

“Red ear... could this be Scarlet Goblin?”

“Yes, encountered on the way.”

At Godric’s words, the receptionist made a serious expression and asked.

“By any chance were there other goblins near the Scarlet Goblin?”

“No, there weren’t?”

“I see.”

At Godric’s answer, the receptionist sighed a big relief.

“Really fortunate.”

“What is?”

“The Scarlet Goblin you discovered seems an individual that appeared not long ago.”

The receptionist put the Scarlet Goblin’s ear aside and continued words while confirming the number of remaining ears inside the bag.

“Variant species like Scarlet Goblin are especially individuals easy to change into higher species. On top of that, due to the characteristic of goblins, since strong, can more easily form groups.”

“At best...”

“You might say at best a goblin, but the most bothersome point of individuals like Scarlet Goblin is that the reproductive power is stronger than other goblins. No, accurately, making many individuals with strong reproductive power.”

Sighing relief once again, the receptionist asserted.

“If the Scarlet Goblin had continued living, the number of goblin individuals would have increased by 200 more within a month. Then this city might be okay but the spread goblins might raid other villages so subjugating now is really fortunate.”

“Th, that so?”

At the fact of having resolved a more serious situation than thought, Godric glanced at Hawein.

“Ahem, I also didn’t know up to such facts, hyung-nim.”

“Hehe, that goblin our Tongtongi...”

When Def tried to boast the slime while smiling hesil hesil, slap! Sgol hit Def’s thigh.

“Ouch!”

“This slime did attract the attention of that goblin!”

“Is that so?”

When the receptionist looked with wondrous eyes, the slime jumped once from Def’s head.

Poyong!

‘Goblin! Took care of!’

“Fortunate because seems the combination matches well more than thought.”

The receptionist who confirmed all the goblin’s ears handed the reward with a smile.

The price of the Scarlet Goblin was a value corresponding to 20 goblins.

The strength was simply about three times, but the amount considering even the future risk.

Truly an unexpected jackpot.

Moreover, since they came to catch the Scarlet Goblin at a level almost fed, it was a feeling as if free money increased.

Since more money than thought came in, it was very natural that smiles bloomed on the Godric Party’s faces.

“Sgol, why did you hit earlier?”

Def asked while leaving the guild. Sgol lightly hit the thigh again and said.

“Fool, if saying honestly there, interest focuses on this slime! What if someone tries to steal!”

At first thought of looking down on the slime and wanting to detach because bothersome.

However, now is different.

‘A guy much more usable than thought!’

Thought just an agile slime, but sent the Scarlet Goblin said to be three times stronger than a goblin in one shot.

Moreover, while showing a powerful tackle to the extent of caving the face.

At this point, Sgol also had no choice but to admit that the slime is stronger than itself.

Moreover, thanks to the slime, even received unexpected reward so changed from a bothersome existence to an existence that gives benefits in various ways.

So thought better to eliminate as much as possible the possibility of someone coveting and taking away.

The irritable personality and stubbornness became infinitely flexible in front of benefits.

Godric and Hawein noticed Sgol’s thought and made absurd expressions.

“Hihihi, hey you guys. This time no thought of selling the slime...”

“Not disappearing over there!”

“Hiik! Wh, what! Why suddenly getting angry!”

“Our Tongtongi won’t be sold to anyone!”

Sgol accepted the slime as a party member to the extent of immediately throwing a temper and checking the moment the man in the robe who asks whether not selling the slime appeared.

“Wa! Sgol finally called Tongtongi, hyung-nim!”

“Yes, went well.”

“Kheup, Sgol is good because really honest.”

+++

The elf village in the center of the blue elf forest.

Nellin, the elf’s hero also called the Starlight Archer, was tearing jerky and checking the bow and arrows at her house.

“Mumble mumble... ah, really damn nothing to do.”

What doing these days is only wandering near the village and hunting animals and selling in the village.

In heart wanted to jump out of the elf forest and wander here and there like before.

However, the elder did not permit that.

“Hero Nellin-nim must show an example in the village! And haven’t you wandered sufficiently until now!”

Because of that, except for the time of the funeral of the colleague who together repelled the calamity earlier, had never been to other places besides the Ludendion territory.

Thanks to that, Nellin was always bored and the body itchy.

‘The fun one was that slime. Tsk, regrettable.’

A slime with strangely no wariness and understands words.

If had raised that slime, would not be feeling this boredom.

However, due to the elf elder opposing, Nellin had no choice but to release the slime into the wild.

‘That slime really looked gentle...’

When continuing to maintain the bow while feeling regret, someone knocked the door tok tok tok.

“Who?”

Nellin stopped the maintenance and stood up from the spot and opened the entrance door.

“Nellin-nim, the elder calls.”

The one who knocked the door was an elf in charge of the elder’s direct escort.

“Grandma? For what?”

“Only heard that there is something to talk.”

“Yes?”

‘What is it with grandma? Didn’t particularly cause an accident?’

After releasing the slime into the wild, thought stayed really gentle even thinking herself.

When she is called to the elder’s house, mostly nagging except for regular event guidance so could not help but be puzzled.

“Got it.”

First Nellin heading to the elder’s house following the escort to hear the elder’s talk.

“Grandma, you called me?”

“Came, Nellin-nim.”

“What did you call for? I didn’t particularly cause an accident.”

“Not calling to scold Nellin-nim. There is news to convey.”

“News? Could it be... Fresia or Kachal died?”

Fresia was approaching 70 in human age so sufficiently possible.

The dwarf Kachal would be fine even living 50 more years but since not knowing how the world will be, carefully asked.

The elder denied Nellin’s anxiety by shaking the head.

“No, not obituary news.”

“Yes? Then what?”

“A letter came from Count Ludendion.”

“Ludendion?”

Nellin could not grasp how the situation is turning even more since the story of Ludendion suddenly came out.

The easiest to recall at least.

“Ah, asking to stop by the mansion once again?”

‘That wouldn’t be bad. The meat and alcohol eaten there weren’t bad either.’

“No.”

“No? Tsk.”

Nellin clicked the tongue without hiding the regrettable heart.

Looking at Nellin clicking the tongue, the elder frowned the eyes, but thinking to do the nagging later continued words.

“Truly strange content was written in this letter.”

“Strange?”

“Said that Count Ludendion’s daughter picked up one slime.”

“Daughter? Said gave birth to a daughter at that age?”

“Not talking about the previous Count Ludendion.”

“Ah, that son already succeeded the count? Moreover even gave birth to a daughter... no, if counting the time, possible. Wait, slime?”

“Yes. Slime. Said that Count Ludendion’s daughter picked up one slime while passing riding a carriage. That slime was very gentle and followed people well.”

“Could it be that slime.”

“By circumstances, thought to be that slime Nellin-nim brought to our village.”

“Really such a thing happened?”

Had thought if the slime does not get done by wild animals, might encounter once again while patrolling.

But to think was in the Ludendion count’s territory.

“Please read this letter for the detailed content.”

Nellin received the letter the elf elder took out from the bosom and immediately started reading on the spot.

The content of the letter was content that even Nellin could not help but be surprised.

In the letter, how the slime lived in the mansion was written.

Eating together every meal and when moving going up on the count young lady’s head and staying still, and in the evening the count young lady personally reading books.

And the fact that even if taking outside under the name of inspection, no tendency of stirring or rampaging at all, stayed gently.

The fact that even if gentle, since a monster, decided to persuade the count young lady and release for the reason that the slime has vigorous curiosity.

And at the end, the situation at the time of releasing was written.

Having the strength of alone defeating 12 goblins, and unbelievably even the content of directly using ‘letters’ to farewell the count young lady, Nellin who read all raised the face and said to the elder.

“Grandma.”

“Yes. Since Nellin-nim also seems to have read all, you know. That slime.”

“Could have just raised here.”

“Absolutely cannot be careless... yes?”

“No, if this gentle, could have just raised in our village no problem. Grandma worrying unnecessarily.”

“What sound is that, Nellin-nim! Did you read properly? A slime that can even learn letters! My words mean that slime might become a threat if becoming stronger in the future! But why is such an opinion coming out!”

“Haa, grandma’s bad habit came out again. Only thinking in a bad direction unconditionally and not seeing other things.”

“Wh, what?”

Nellin held the folded letter and hit the palm tak tak and said.

“A slime smart enough to learn letters stayed gently in the count’s territory for a month. Then what? Distinguishes that someone treats it well.”

“That is...”

“Ehyu, really. If I had raised that guy, would have been really fun. Anyway, this slime is no longer in the Ludendion territory?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm.”

She quietly looked at the letter and raised the corners of the mouth.

‘Want to meet once? That count young lady who likes the slime like me.’
