Chapter 49

Biceps (2)

The Godric Party headed to the reception desk as soon as entering the guild.

When Nellin stepped aside Godric took out the pocket and put it on the reception desk.

“Count here.”

“Understood.”

The receptionist quickly counted the subjugation evidence contained inside the pocket.

A part of the monster’s body.

“All confirmed. Everyone, thank you for the orc subjugation.”

“Yes. More than that... still no news at all?”

“Sorry. Still no particular news.”

“Will properly pay the flyer cost so please take care well from now on too. That guy no way dies easily.”

‘No way dies?’

“Yes, understood.”

“Kids, let’s go train.”

““Yes, hyung-nim!””

The Godric Party headed to the training ground in the guild.

‘Those guys?’

Nellin guessed that the party just heard from the receptionist is the Godric Party.

Because the words of no way dies easily and the appearance of going to train as soon as finishing the request matched the heard talk.

“Hey, by any chance is the one just talking that party?”

“Yes, right.”

“But didn’t you say lost a colleague? Then why the flyer...”

“Because not directly seeing the dead appearance. But said fell from the cliff and was swept by the current.”

With that much could not help but think already confirmed dead or the same.

But even so looking at the Godric Party that does not acknowledge the colleague’s death was pitiful.

“By any chance is that flyer there now?”

Not thinking the Godric Party’s colleague would be alive, but thought at least remember the face.

“Yes. This.”

Nellin looked at the flyer the receptionist immediately handed.

“Huh?”

Floated a question mark on the head.

“Uh, um. Wait this...”

“Ah, being surprised would also be natural.”

Because what was drawn on the flyer was not a person’s face but a slime.

“The colleague those people lost is exactly a slime.”

“A slime?”

“Yes. Here was receiving attention as an adventurer party that takes a slime around.”

Nellin read the special notes written on the flyer.

Name: Tongtongi

Light green slime

Very agile.

Friendly to people.

Smart enough to understand people’s words.

Often jumps tong tong and if rejoicing trembles burrur.

Can jump very high.

Can also glow itself.

If discovering please report to the adventurer guild.

If bringing directly additional reward money payment.

‘This by any chance... isn’t it Alexandros the 2nd?’

The slime’s characteristics written on the flyer were too similar to the slime Nellin knows.

If to the extent of disposing 12 goblins of course agile, friendly to people to the extent of staying without any incident in the count’s mansion for a month.

And smart enough to write letters directly, and jumping tong tong or trembling burrur if rejoicing is a fact directly heard from Jessie.

‘But what is glowing again?’

Even if passing the standard of jumping high since cannot know, glowing itself was a characteristic never even expected at all.

‘First have to hear in detail.’

“Got it. Thank you for the flyer.”

Nellin put the flyer in the bosom and moved to the training ground where the Godric Party is.

The Godric Party was literally ‘training’.

“Fourteen...! Fifteen...!”

Doing push-ups with bare body.

“Hiik! Hiik!”

Diligently running the training ground.

Clang! Chaaeng!

Pulling swords and sparring with each other and raising skill.

But.

‘Somehow... clumsy?’

In Nellin’s standard that was clumsy training.

Not that bad or wrong.

Because focusing on raising own strengths is also one of the training methods.

But in Nellin’s eyes a feeling of slightly missing arose.

‘Like that becoming strong would also be slow.’

50 years ago.

Nellin knew because watched the colleague who never omitted training even in the journey of subjugating the black dragon.

The human called the iron wall shield Aldor Mayer training.

There are stages even in training, and if reaching above a certain strength if not doing larger intensity training becoming strong is slow.

The training level the Godric Party is doing was exactly a situation that fits that example.

The Godric Party was also not deliberately doing weak intensity training.

Just did not know.

They had no teacher who would inform such things, and until now satisfied with the level of becoming strong naturally while doing mercenary work.

On top of that the haste of having to become strong unconditionally because lost the slime was covering their vision even more.

“You guys there, stop.”

Nellin did not continue looking and talked to the Godric Party.

“Eighteen...! Huh?”

“What?”

“Huu, elf?”

“What business with us?”

Since only the Godric Party and Nellin in the training ground, Godric who judged of course called themselves approached Nellin.

“You guys are looking for a slime? A light green and well sticking to people slime.”

“...By any chance know!?”

“D, do you know where Tongtongi is?”

“No, don’t know.”

“What?”

“Hey hey, don’t make a fierce expression. Actually. I also saw that slime before so thought this is also a connection and talked?”

“Saw before?”

“Yes. Saw while hunting deer in the forest. Brought to our village and even fed jerky. That was the first slime with no wariness? Well, grandma was noisy so sent back to the forest again.”

“Hyung-nim. T, Tongtongi also ate jerky well.”

“Wait stay still for a moment, Def.”

Godric did not relax the guard and said looking at Nellin.

“Such a coincidence also existed. Glad to meet. We will continue training so how about going now?”

“Seems cannot do so?”

“What?”

“Said. Thought this is also a connection and talked. You guys...”

Nellin had something learned while traveling.

At times like this have to speak a bit provocatively for the opponent to come over well.

“Like that to become strong will take a long time?”

“Take a long time?”

“Just looking doing training recklessly. If doing so no large result no matter how many days.”

“Are you saying you know the method?”

“Of course! I know one friend who was crazy about training in the prime. That guy also liked explaining his training so heard until ears got scabs. Well, saying this and that~ that and this~ is useless. Right?”

Nellin walked to the corner of the training ground and picked up one wooden sword on the stand and said.

“All four charge at once. Will inform whether this big sister’s words are real or fake.”

Nellin who has divine archery to the extent of the nickname Starlight Archer sticking.

However, that was only her most specialty being archery.

Nellin also knew how to handle a sword.

‘What on earth is Buduri...’

In her room Amelia was immersed in thoughts about the slime.

Even just glowing and creating detoxification liquid is sufficiently surprising, but since even more surprising thing happened today it was not strange for her to have such thoughts.

When waking in the morning and seeing no slime Amelia had been flustered.

Fortunately the believer who serves the bath brought the slime and entered the room.

Hearing the talk that Paulen conveyed she first was relieved.

Even if not knowing how escaped, at least not missing.

And seemed to pass as such a minor happening but after finishing the meal, Paulen suddenly said to Amelia.

“Amelia, Buduri is a biceps colleague from now!”

“...?”

What sound is this muscle paladin making on earth?

By any chance the head hurt?

Such a question passed in Amelia’s head.

“Buduri! Biceps!”

When Paulen took the biceps making pose.

Pyong!

Tentacles popped out from both sides of the slime and took the same pose as Paulen.

“Uh. Huh? Uuuung?”

At the scene unfolded in front of the eyes Amelia alternately looked at Paulen and the slime several times.

“What on, on, on earth is this...!”

“I will explain!”

Paulen briefly explained the matter that happened early this morning today.

The moving appearance of the slime that came to the training ground and took a pose looking at Paulen and tried to lift the dumbbells.

The matter of becoming a biceps colleague who exercises together to become stronger.

Paulen’s delusion about why the slime wants to make biceps continued, but Amelia listening with one ear.

She fell into thoughts about the identity of the slime that now even took out tentacles.

However, no matter how much thinking a clear answer would not come out.

Burrurrur!

“Ah.”

Just the only fact that the vibration of the slime trembling on the hand feels good.

“Buduri! Do a bit on the back too! Today too joyful so the muscles also entered a lot of strength!”

“Please don’t take off clothes in my room, Paulen.”

“Hmm, then will take off in the training ground! Let’s go to the training ground together!”

“Why even me...”

“Cannot leave Amelia’s side as the escort me!”

Is this really words an escort would say?

Such a thought arose, but Amelia could not actively refute.

After finishing the morning schedule.

Burrurrurur!

“Ooh! This! This! The muscle tension releases, releases!”

Moved the place to the training ground and Paulen immediately received the slime’s massage.

Back massage received in a state of lying face down with a blanket appropriately laid on the floor.

Amelia did not even give a glance to the appearance of Paulen receiving the massage with a happy expression and opened the brought bible and started reading.

Paulen who received all the massage raised the body and said to the slime.

“Thank you, Buduri! As promised when preparations are all done will help making biceps so expect!”

Poyong!

‘What is making biceps again? Can a slime make muscles?’

Amelia picking a fight inwardly while hearing the conversation of Paulen and the slime with the ears.

It was then.

“Saintess! You were here! Kyaat!”

A nun came to the training ground and covered the face with both hands looking at Paulen’s appearance.

“P, paladin Paulen. Why did you take off clothes!”

“Sorry, was training. Hahaha!”

“I, I see.”

Reddening the face the nun tried hard not to look at Paulen and said to Amelia.

“Saintess, can you please come to the clinic?”

“Is there a greatly hurt person?”

Unless Amelia visits directly like yesterday, the case of the clinic directly calling saintess Amelia was very rare.

The case of calling was when a patient who received a very serious injury was moved.

“No. Not injury but patients infected with poison in a group came. Moreover people done by Manticore’s poison.”

“Manticore’s poison!?”

Manticore.

Manticore was a monster that has a lion’s body and a snake’s tail, and a human’s face wrapped with a lion’s mane.

One infected by the poison gas emitted from the human’s mouth sees hallucinations and feels extreme tickling and scratches own body.

In severe cases a scary poison where even ones who lose life due to wounds arising from scratching themselves appear.

“Wait. If Manticore did the holy knights get done?”

“Yes, right. Among the 10 holy knights who went subjugation 4 people got done by poison. So saintess. Can you please lend the power of the slime the saintess is taking?”

“Buduri’s power?”

The nun nodded.

“Yes. Heard yesterday that the slime has the power to detoxify poison. Please lend that power this time too.”
