Biceps (1)

That night.

Around when Amelia was sleeping.

The slime immediately reported the newly arisen goal in the chat window.

▷Will make biceps!

▶Biceps?

▶Talking about the muscles that human says?

▶Slime making biceps lmao

▶No, but can even make? Does the slime have... muscles?

[Squishy Queen]▶Rude thing! How asking such a question! Where do you think the power until now comes from! There is no muscle like other races! But slimes can also grow more power!

▶Ooh, new fact, memo memo.

▶Sound of no muscle but there is slime muscle.

By Squishy Queen’s remark the fact that the slime can also grow more power was revealed.

But there the viewers thought.

But how does the slime grow power? was.

Of course cases like evolution were excluded.

▶Then how to grow power?

[Just Ram and See]▶Isn’t it doing body slam several times?

‘Y, you fools!’

The Slime Queen seemed about to burst at the foolish remark.

Too obviously visible that in the viewers’ heads now if saying slime only recalling the form of the currently broadcasting slime.

[Squishy Queen]▶Do you think tentacles are for form! If training tentacles of course becomes strong!

▶Ah~ tentacles~.

▶There was that.

At first a slime with only body.

But going through evolution and coming to have skills slimes also become able to use tentacles.

The Slime Queen’s arms and legs if counting could be said to have become the current human-similar form as the tentacle skill developed more.

▶But Squishy has no tentacles?

▶No no can buy in the skill shop.

‘Tentacles! Biceps!’

Through the chat window conversation the slime understood that if obtaining tentacles can make biceps.

If making biceps can become stronger.

The slime quickly made a decision.

Opened the shop and the slime purchased the Tentacle Generation skill that costs 20 coins.

The moment purchased knowledge about using the Tentacle Generation skill was granted to the slime.

The slime came down from the bed so as not to wake Amelia and emitted faint light then made tentacles.

Pyong!

Small tentacles popped out from both sides of the slime.

‘Wa!’

The slime felt own soft and slightly long tentacles and was very wondrous.

As tentacles increased the slime’s senses also increased.

Chap chap!

The slime touched the floor and own body with the tentacles.

The texture of the already known floor was the same.

‘Waaa!’

The sensation of directly touching own body was too fresh.

‘Soft!’

Liking own body texture the slime stroked own body with the tentacles several times and poked.

Burrurrur!

‘Trembling!’

The slime that felt even own vibration while trembling with the tentacles on the body was satisfied and went up on the bed again and fell asleep.

And time passed to early morning time.

‘Exercise!’

The slime got up before Amelia woke and came down from the bed and moved to the door.

If the previous slime would have struggled to open.

‘Tentacles!’

The slime made tentacles and easily opened the door.

Consumed magic power and increased the length of the tentacles and stretched upward then caught the handle and lowered downward.

The slime that came out of Amelia’s room immediately put the tentacles in and headed to Paulen’s exclusive training ground.

Poyong! Poyong!

As a paladin must prioritize protecting the saintess anytime anywhere.

Therefore, the location of the training ground was not that far from the saintess’s room so the slime could arrive at the training ground soon.

“Heup! Heup!”

In the training ground Paulen was diligently exercising.

Since most schedules have to live as Amelia’s escort, the time Paulen trains was always from early dawn.

Whether exercised from dawn until now in light clothes the appearance of dripping sweat.

That appearance was evidence that Paulen exercised diligently.

‘Biceps!’

The hard and large muscles of Paulen that were not revealed because always wearing armor when escorting entered the slime’s vision.

Already knew approximate information with Detection, but directly seeing with vision was different.

‘Strong!’

Biceps that even just looking feel very strong.

Godric was also fairly muscular but Paulen had even harder and more elastic muscles than that.

‘I also want to become strong!’

Poyong! Poyong!

The slime approached Paulen.

“Heup! Heup! Huh? Buduri?”

Paulen who was training with dumbbells in full tilted the head at the slime’s appearance.

“Alone? No, how did you come here?”

Poyong! Poyong!

“Buduri, if sneaking out Amelia will worry later.”

Put down the dumbbells and Paulen lifted the slime.

“Today also will coax Amelia and play in the training ground. So first let’s return to the room.”

‘Biceps! Want to make!’

Burrurrurur!

The slime trembled on Paulen’s hand and took out tentacles.

“Huh?”

Tentacles that suddenly popped out from both sides of the slime.

The slime moved the taken out tentacles.

‘Biceps!’

Followed Paulen and bent the tentacles inward.

Short and soft so nothing like muscles popped out in the middle.

“You, that...”

At least could inform Paulen that taking a biceps pose.

Poyong!

While Paulen was flustering, the slime jumped down from the hand and approached the dumbbells on the floor.

‘Exercise!’

The slime stretched the tentacles and tried to lift the dumbbells.

But no matter how much trying the slime could not lift the dumbbells with the tentacles.

That is, the dumbbells Paulen is using are custom-made requested to dwarves made of special metal that weighs more than ordinary metals.

That weight is to the extent that even a warrior with veteran skill cannot easily lift, so no way the slime that just came to control tentacles can lift.

‘Uuuuung~!’

The slime tried to lift with all strength but no matter how much trying could not lift the dumbbells.

‘Cannot lift...’

Continued trying but since useless the slime detached the tentacles from the dumbbells and tilted the body forward.

“Haa, haa, haa, haa.”

Paulen was looking at that scene exhaling roughly.

‘Beginner.’

The slime depressed because cannot lift the dumbbells.

That appearance looked like an exercise beginner who tried to start exercising then frustrated in Paulen’s eyes.

‘Must not leave like this!’

“Buduri!”

Exhaling roughly through the nose Paulen asked.

“Do you also want to make biceps!”

‘Yeah!’

Poyong!

The slime jumped as if affirming.

‘Th, this what praiseworthy slime!’

Paulen recalled his faint and sad past.

The days of trying to become strong training every day after becoming a holy knight.

But the stronger becoming.

The higher the intensity of the training he imposes on himself the more the colleagues who try to become strong together beside him fell away.

Of course not that there was ill feeling or anything.

Just giving up saying together is too much for themselves as the training intensity gradually becomes harder.

Paulen also knows such colleagues’ hearts.

But the regret could not be helped.

After being appointed as paladin the days of training alone in the exclusive training ground continued so loneliness was natural.

In such a situation a new ‘exercise colleague’ appeared in front of the eyes.

Even a beginner who can teach from one to ten.

Even if that is a monster did not want to make give up exercising.

“Buduri, not something to be sad about not being able to lift this! ‘Not yet!’ Just not able to lift yet! First let’s do gradually from light things! I will prepare all the needed! You also! Will help so can make ‘biceps’!”

‘Waa!’

Poyong!

At the words of making itself stronger the slime was joyful.

▶That human suddenly what?

▶Eyes scary.

[Just Ram and See]▶Th, that human nooooo! Daring to steal Squishy’s teacher position from me!

▶Since when did the wolf bastard become a teacher?

[Squishy Queen]▶Right! Acting as the same kind’s teacher just by teaching one body slam!

▶Disciple NTR.

▶No but really thinking of making tentacle biceps lmao

“4 days! No wait 3 days, Buduri! I will gather exercise equipment for you! Let’s exercise enjoyably together!”

‘Exercise! Biceps!’

Poyong! Poyong!

The slime jumped enjoyably on the floor.

“Yah~ long time here too.”

Nellin came out of the elf’s forest and was sightseeing the city visited after a long time riding a carriage.

Since came outside, Nellin first decided to start from the place she knows.

“Places that do not change even after 50 years do not change.”

50 years passed, but shops that still remained as is were also visible.

There were also many shops never seen before and among them some places looked at to go later.

After finishing one round of sightseeing Nellin entered the adventurer guild.

‘Kyaa, exactly this. This is the adventurer guild.’

An atmosphere that seems completely unchanged even as years passed.

One looking into the request board or sitting at the table and discussing the request.

An adventurer who finished the request early and raising a toast and stretching.

The receptionist proceeding work while talking with various adventurers.

The scenery Nellin saw the most 50 years ago.

‘Where then shall try registering.’

Nellin approached the receptionist and tried to make a new adventurer registration card.

“Want to do adventurer registration a bit.”

“Yes, new adventurer registration. Write the name here and pay the registration fee.”

Nellin wrote the name on the held out paper and paid the registration fee.

The receptionist retrieved the paper and confirmed the name.

“Marin-nim. Please wait a moment.”

Marin.

Nellin deliberately did not write own name and used a pseudonym.

The reason was exactly because of own fame.

Nellin newly confirmed own fame while talking with Jessie in Count Ludendion’s mansion.

Therefore, if acting with own name as is attention would be drawn soon.

‘Too famous is also bothersome.’

How many people flocked toward herself when returning after subjugating the black dragon 50 years ago.

Knew that goodwill and respect are contained, but Nellin did not want such a situation coming every time going alone.

The receptionist handed the adventurer identification tag the magic tool made and said.

“Yes, here! Then the explanation that must know as an adventurer...”

“Ah, that is enough. Roughly know all.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Heard a lot from a same race who is an adventurer origin.”

“Understood. Then please do hard from F rank missions.”

‘Ah, would be so.’

Even if knowing up to newly registering as an adventurer Nellin had forgotten that have to start from the lowest rank requests.

‘Well, herb gathering did a lot even in the forest. Would be about 2~3 days?’

Thinking of finishing the bothersome quickly Nellin immediately selected the herb gathering request.

And 2 hours later.

Nellin dug herbs and brought to the reception desk.

“Confirmed! All quality good!”

“How many years digging herbs. This much is basic.”

“Fortunate, there is another person who digs good quality herbs like Marin-nim.”

“What, there is another besides me?”

“Yes. Now all went up to C rank so not doing herb gathering.”

“Yes? Hmm?”

Nellin saw the receptionist’s complexion worsening in the middle of talking.

“What, by any chance did that C rank adventurer cause some accident?”

“Yes?”

“Suddenly the expression worsened while talking.”

“Ah, not that. Those people are still diligent and hard! Please do requests. Exemplary people. However... recently lost a colleague so devoting to becoming strong.”

‘Ah, so that was.’

Nellin also easily expected.

There were several who lose a colleague while requesting and blame own insufficiency and obsess over becoming strong.

Since said exemplary adventurers, as a receptionist would be worried.

‘This if meeting shall I give advice as a senior?’

It was when Nellin was having such thoughts.

Creak!

The adventurer guild’s door opened and 4 men entered inside.

Godric, Hawein, Def, Sgol.

The Godric Party that parted with the slime.
