Magic Tower (1)
Around when the joker was denying reality.
The slime’s eyes shone looking at the various magic tools Gracie Frail wore.
‘Sparkle sparkle! Many!’
Saw numerous ornaments even in the Ludendion count’s territory.
Saw much equipment even in the adventurer guild.
Saw accessories the priests use even inside the Great Church.
But since the first human hanging so many accessories on the body in a dangling way, the slime had interest.
▶What is that human hanging so much?
▶Isn’t it a dragon transformed?
[Noblesse Fire]▶Hey! We pile, don’t hang unattractively like that?
▶Bullshit no no saw the shiny dragon hanging in a line matching own size last time.
[Noblesse Fire]▶That is that kid being strange!!!
[Gothic Luxury Bone]▶Hehehe. That old man who doesn’t even do the age value, still going around like that?
▶Ah! dangling damn!
▶Now attaching damn to anything.
Meanwhile Amelia who met Gracie Frail received the greeting making a so-called guest-facing smile.
“Glad to meet. To be guided by the celestial law mage’s descendant. Honor!”
“No! I am the one honored to guide Amelia-nim who will succeed the healing saintess! Frecia-nim! Please follow! Will guide the place the two will stay!”
‘A, a lively person.’
Gracie’s appearance full of confident and proud atmosphere.
Amelia received mental damage at the appearance contrasting with herself.
Gracie guided Amelia and Paulen and talked.
“Was it hard coming from the Holy City to the Magic Tower?”
“No. Was okay. We came riding a carriage.”
“Even if a carriage a month’s travel is not easy! From now please don’t worry! The fatigue piled for a month will be able to recover quickly at the Magic Tower!”
“Hmm, is there something good for fatigue recovery?”
At Paulen’s question Gracie’s eyes seemed to flash and shine.
“Of course! Do you know our Magic Tower’s recent trend? That is exactly! Magic tool production!”
Gracie continuously spoke while guiding the two to the assigned lodging.
To summarize it was like this.
The recent Magic Tower’s trend is convenient magic tool production not powerful magic research.
Because there were many opinions that powerful magic is sufficient with existing ones.
Rather than researching more powerful magic wouldn’t making magic or magic tools that make life comfortable be better? opinions poured out.
Recently there were many mages whose movement became uncomfortable due to age so such opinions could not help but come out steadily every meeting.
If in the past would have been ignored because an era that needed stronger magic, but now not so.
“This is exactly the place the saintess and paladin will stay!”
“This is...”
“Haha! Looks good?”
“Of course! Would not be able to easily find a place better than this in the Magic Tower!”
The place Amelia and Paulen, and the slime will stay was so to speak a villa.
Adjacent to the church and a place not that far from the Magic Tower in distance.
As soon as entering inside Amelia and Paulen were impressed.
“Cool.”
“Completely different from outside.”
Unlike the outside hot with sunlight pouring down, inside the villa cool wind was blowing and providing comfort.
“This is also all the power of magic tools! If just inserting a magic stone the formula automatically activates and can make the room cool and pleasant using ice magic like this! Amazing?”
“A, amazing.”
“In this villa the saintess and paladin will stay various magic tools provided by the Magic Tower are installed! First will explain gradually from the most needed ones!”
‘The guidance was not ended yet?’
Thought would end if just guiding to the place to stay.
Gracie was employed as a person who informs the magic tool usage method not only guiding Amelia and Paulen.
While Amelia was sweating cold sweat.
The slime was listening to Gracie’s explanation interestingly.
‘Magic tools!’
The slime also knows the existence of magic tools.
Because saw using magic tools several times while living together with humans.
However, hearing such detailed explanation was the first time.
‘Wondrous!’
Explanation about magic tools that know the existence but cannot understand and do not know the detailed principle.
Even if cannot make enjoyable just by hearing how it operates.
And such impressions were not only the slime.
▶Cold wind blows from such a small thing?
▶What? Why does fire come out if turning that?
[Noblesse Fire]▶Humans made a lot of strange things.
[Yarn Lady]▶Want that magic tool that sucks that dust~. Would be easy to process the residue the children ate and left.
The viewers were also listening to Gracie’s explanation interestingly like watching home shopping.
‘Waa!’
Burrurrur!
And every time newly known magic tools increase the slime trembled on Amelia’s hand and rejoiced.
“Um, saintess. May I ask one thing?”
“Yes? What?”
“What on earth is that slime holding? Continuously trembling.”
“Ah.”
‘Asking only now.’
“This child is Buduri. As you see a slime but... a really kind and gentle child.”
“Is it like a research subject?”
‘By any chance conducting clinical experiments against monsters in the Holy City?’
“No. Not that. Buduri is... ju, just together as a friend.”
‘Friend!’
Poyong!
“Ack! J, jumped!”
“Ah. Buduri does this if joyful. No need to be too surprised. Moreover was rejoicing hearing Frail-nim’s explanation.”
“Please call Gracie. More than that rejoiced hearing my explanation?”
Toward Gracie floating a question mark on the head Paulen answered.
“Hahaha! Buduri is very smart. Surely understood Gracie’s explanation too. Probably the body is itchy wanting to touch the magic tools directly now.”
“Yes?”
‘The slime?’
Gracie Frail looked at the slime with eyes that cannot believe.
Gracie only heard the words of taking the guidance role since the saintess and paladin will reside at the Magic Tower for a month.
Therefore, surprised when the saintess was holding the slime, but tried not to mind greatly.
Since there are many eccentrics doing strange research even in the Magic Tower, compared to such people the saintess holding the slime was not something to be greatly surprised.
If the saintess holding the slime said would have sounded with the nuance of ‘our Poppy is really smart~’.
But the paladin escorting her, Paulen saying directly could not help but mind.
“Buduri has really a lot of curiosity.”
“I see. Ahem, then~.”
Still half-believing so Gracie decided to confirm right away.
If the slime shows no reaction at all ends as a heartwarming happening that the paladin also talked matching the saintess so no need to hesitate.
Gracie brought the portable lighting magic tool that emits light in all directions if pressing a button among the explained magic tools and said.
“Want to try pressing directly once?”
‘Yeah!’
Pyong!
As soon as Gracie asked the slime immediately took out tentacles and pressed the button Gracie explained.
Kuuk!
Flash! and light was emitted from the lighting magic tool.
“Uh?”
‘Turned on!’
Gracie who became dumbfounded at the slime suddenly taking out tentacles and operating the magic tool.
Meanwhile the slime raised the 2 tentacles taken out high and took a banzai pose in the joy of directly using the magic tool.
“Th, the slime operated the magic tool... uh?”
“Hahaha! Said. Buduri is smart.”
“Sorry. Surprised?”
“Ah, no! Okay!”
‘What? Really what? This slime? Really understood my explanation?’
“Ahem! There saintess? Paladin? If okay can you make this slime... Buduri try operating other magic tools a bit more?”
“Hahaha, of course.”
“Yes. Buduri will also rejoice.”
‘Magic tools! Touch again!’
Poyong!
And changing direction from the villa magic tool guidance, the slime’s magic tool operation demonstration show started.
From magic tools that can operate simply with only one button to magic tools with strength adjustment buttons,
Looking at the slime skillfully doing even magic tools that need slight adjustment.
“Haa, haa, haa, haa.”
Gracie exhaled rough breath.
‘What, this slime? Such a monster really exists? Looking so small and weak but this smart?’
Saw an unknown creature.
On earth how does such a creature get born?
Gracie’s head heated with intense academic passion for the first time in a really long time.
Gracie’s main interest field was magic tools, but an extremely wondrous and wanting to research slime appeared in front of the eyes so the academic passion did not stop.
‘How is the ecology? Can sufficiently use other magic tools too? By any chance might help magic tool research...’
“G, Gracie? Breath became rough but okay?”
“Yes? Ah! Yes! Okay!”
▶That human’s eyes were dangerous?
[Squishy Queen]▶Where daring to do such arrogant eyes to the same kind! Insolent!
‘Get a grip! This slime is the slime the saintess brought! Must not have useless greed!’
Gracie immediately gathered the spirit.
If just a slime passing nearby would not know.
The opponent is the slime the next saintess brought.
If touching uselessly and discord with the church arises no matter how proud and great the celestial law mage’s descendant cannot just pass.
‘From the beginning our family is also precarious now!’
“Re, really a smart slime. Was greatly surprised.”
“I also was really surprised when first seeing Buduri’s smart appearance. But... the guidance ends with this?”
‘Slowly want to rest comfortably.’
The magic tool operation show combining the slime’s boast was not that tiring, but Amelia wanted to rest comfortably without watching anyone’s eyes.
“Ah, yes!”
Explained all the magic tool usage methods needed in life.
If trying to stay could stay with the reason of explaining a bit more in detail, but if so seemed would continue giving eyes to the slime.
“Please rest comfortably today! Will come find again tomorrow!”
Gracie bowed the head and greeted and left the villa.
“Haaa.”
As soon as Gracie left Amelia exhaled a sigh of relief.
“Amelia, that tired?”
“Yes. More tired today. Want to wash quickly and sleep.”
‘Want to hear more explanation...’
Opposite to the relieved Amelia the slime tilted the body forward regretting that Gracie left quickly.
“Opposite to Amelia Buduri is regretting.”
“Um... B, Buduri? Gracie will come tomorrow too so don’t be too discouraged. Okay?”
‘Gracie! Tomorrow! Comes again!’
Burrurrur!
The slime rejoiced and trembled burrur.
Amelia was relieved looking at the rejoicing slime.
“Huu. Then let’s wash together today and rest quickly, Buduri.”
Amelia held the slime and entered the bathroom.
