Paper (4)

For the slime, tentacles were a skill useful in various ways.

It could make muscles and lift dumbbells to train and become stronger.

Besides that, if it stretched them out, it could convey the direction it wanted to go, and in the spar with Paulen, it became able to dodge even swords that it couldn’t dodge in the air.

Recently, tentacles that even let it play with fun magic tools.

However, even with such tentacles, there was a slight problem in utilizing the magic tool received this time.

Following Gracie’s fingers, it tried to hold the magic tool with two tentacles and turn it.

Spin.

‘Huh?’

But since it didn’t fix the cylinder, the magic tool rotated together with the handle.

“Hahaha! Budul-ah, you have to fix here and turn it.”

‘Cute.’

At the slime’s mistake, Paulen laughed enjoyably and Amelia thought it was cute inside.

And Gracie.

‘It has intelligence, but is knowledge lacking?’

Observed the slime from a research perspective.

‘Fix!’

The slime immediately reflected Paulen’s advice.

It fixed the magic tool with one tentacle and tried to turn the handle with the remaining tentacle.

Kkik! Kkik!

Whoooong!

Even with one tentacle, the handle turned and the magic tool operated.

But it couldn’t be called smooth.

Naturally, the handle was straight, so it was a method of holding the upper and lower parts with the thumb and index finger and turning.

To turn it with one of the slime’s tentacles, there was no choice but to put strength at the end and push.

In that process, it wasn’t operating smoothly like Gracie had done, but the point of having to push with the tentacle muscles trained with Paulen was not to its liking.

‘Uncomfortable!’

The desire to play ‘well’ since it was playing anyway was strong.

Kkik! Kkik!

Therefore, even when operating the wind-coming magic tool, the slime didn’t receive the wind or anything and repeatedly turned it off and on by moving the handle with its tentacle.

“Uh... why is it doing this?”

At the slime’s action of continuing to turn the magic tool off and on differently from expectations, Gracie asked Amelia and Paulen.

“I wonder? It liked it when receiving it...”

‘Why is it angry?’

Since there had been time spent with the slime, Amelia felt that the slime was angry now.

It was then.

Boing!

The slime suddenly jumped from the table and climbed on top of the magic tool.

“Budul-ah?”

The slime that climbed on the magic tool used two tentacles to hold the upper right of the handle with one and the lower left of the handle with the other and tried to turn it.

But.

Roll!

Perhaps the slime was lighter than thought, the moment it tried to turn the handle, the magic tool rotated and the slime rolled off.

‘Cute!’

‘Cu, cute.’

The appearance of trying something and rolling was an unintended cuteness that suddenly came in for Amelia and Gracie.

Of course, that was the same for some of the viewers watching.

[Thread Lady]▶Kyaaaaak! Too cute~!

▶lolol failed huh?

▶Rolling round and round well lol.

[Just Stick It In and See]▶Reminds me of our kids playing on me and rolling off.

▶What are they playing now?

[Just Stick It In and See]▶They only play among themselves.

▶Hey lol don’t tease the dad the most lol

[Just Stick It In and See]▶Not dad!!!

▶If Mr. ㅇㅇ says so, then it must be lolol.

“Ah, so that was it.”

While the two were distracted by the cuteness, only Paulen could understand what the slime was trying to do.

“What is that?”

“Saintess, Budul wants to turn the handle well right now.”

“It wants to turn it well?”

“This magic tool is a method of turning the handle, unlike the water-coming one, right.”

Paulen spoke while holding the magic tool the slime had climbed on.

“Budul-ah. I’ll hold it, so try turning it.”

‘Yes!’

Boing!

The slime came down from the magic tool and started turning the handle with its tentacle.

Click!

Whooooong!

Brrr!

At the feeling of the handle turning just right without unnecessary strength, the slime trembled happily.

This time the slime didn’t turn the handle back to turn it off and started playing while adjusting the strength of the wind.

Click! Click!

Whoooooong!

“Playing well? Is it really because it wanted to turn it well like Paulen said?”

“If I told the Saintess to push and turn this with one finger, it would be uncomfortable too, right?”

“When you say it like that, I understand again.”

‘It wasn’t just the intelligence to use magic tools, it felt uncomfortable. And although it didn’t succeed, it even thought in its own way to resolve the uncomfortable thing... Not only using magic tools, but this slime itself is paper material!’

Gracie, whose eyes burned fiercely with intense academic enthusiasm after a long time.

She was watching such Gracie’s face through the screen while teasing.

In many ways, Kkanjuk who received mental damage from seeing the appearance of his descendant, the magic tool doping mage, but the appearance overflowing with academic enthusiasm was heartwarming to see.

‘If it had used that passion on purely raising skills instead of magic tool doping, it would have been better!’

But there was no way to appear right now and give advice.

Kkanjuk turned his gaze from Gracie to the slime while thinking.

‘Hmm, if it uses more tentacles, it should be able to turn that handle easily too. Is two the limit? Or is it really not thinking?’

During the black dragon subjugation journey, the slime had seen peculiar slimes a few times.

And among them, there were also slimes that could take out multiple tentacles.

‘It was stronger than ordinary slimes, but it looked peculiar. If comparing strength, Mallang is much stronger.’

So wouldn’t the slime be able to do it too?

Kkanjuk looked at the chat window and used the chat.

[Free Spirit]▶Mallang-nim! If you take out more tentacles, you can turn it well, right?

▷Take out more?

At Kkanjuk’s words, the slime reacted immediately.

[Free Spirit]▶Yy, if you take out more tentacles, you can turn it easily. Fix the magic tool with one and turn with the remaining two, right?

▶Sounds plausible.

▶This guy... was a genius?

▶Genius real lolol.

[Soft Queen]▶Now that I think about it, I should have taken out more tentacles.

▶Why did you forget that lolol.

▶Someone else knows your own race better lolol.

[Soft Queen]▶Be quiet! Later I can inform my kin of something more useful than tentacles!

▶Yeah~ if you can’t do it now, it’s useless, right?

▶When will you tell something useful? (Really don’t know)

[Soft Queen]▶Shut up!!!

While the chat room became noisy again, the slime fell into thought.

‘Tentacle... one more...’

If it made one more tentacle, how should it make it?

Where should it make the tentacle?

“Budul-ah?”

“Why did it suddenly stop again?”

“This time I don’t really know either...”

The three people puzzled at the slime that suddenly fell into thought.

At that time, Paulen’s index finger and thumb holding the magic tool entered the slime’s field of vision.

‘Fingers!’

The slime decided where to newly take out the tentacle.

There was no need to take it out directly from the body.

Thinking that it only needed to take out the necessary amount in the necessary place, the slime concentrated mana on the right tentacle.

‘Uuuuung!’

Pop!

A short tentacle popped out from the right tentacle.

The slime tapped Paulen’s hand with the left tentacle, then raised the right tentacle with the new tentacle high with a flash!

“What, another tentacle grew on the tentacle? Aha, now you’re going to do it yourself with this, right?”

‘Yes!’

Boing!

Unlike Paulen, who immediately grasped the slime’s intention, Amelia and Gracie blinked and looked at the slime’s tentacle that had a new tentacle.

“Budul-ah, you could do something like this too?”

“Did the Saintess not know either?”

“This is the first time I’ve seen it used this way.”

‘Intelligence that feels uncomfortable and immediately utilizes its own skill! It’s really an absurd slime. If it’s a paper related to various magic tools used by such a slime... I, I won’t have to worry about support funds until I grow old and die!’

The hope Gracie originally held felt like it grew even bigger and shone brilliantly.

“Budul-ah, then try it once.”

When Paulen turned off the magic tool and placed it on the table, the slime immediately tested the newly made tentacle.

First, it stretched the left tentacle long to wrap and fix the magic tool, and fixed the handle up and down with the right tentacle.

And using the strength of the tentacle muscles usually trained with Paulen, it twisted the handle.

Click!

Whoooong!

The magic tool operated with the feeling the slime wanted.

‘Done!’

Brrrr! The slime that trembled happily immediately stretched the tentacle, lifted the magic tool up, and made the wind face itself.

The wind blowing straight from above pleasantly brushed past the slime’s body.

‘Feels good!’

Even without the soft slime’s body bouncing boing boing, just from it moving up and down, one could tell the slime was very happy.

That soft movement tickled the two women’s hearts even more.

‘Cute!’

‘A cuteness worth observing...’

Click! Click!

Whoooooooong!

‘Cool!’

The slime that took out the new tentacle fully enjoyed the wind-spraying magic tool.

The city of Tartan, the city of duels and gambling where the Colosseum was.

Before the preliminaries of the Black Dragon Festival were held, the contestants were gathered in the waiting room.

“That side is Baldis of the Blood, huh. As expected, I knew he would come out in this Black Dragon Festival.”

“Ha! I didn’t expect to see you here, Padiar. I’ll be able to see how much your hammer skill has improved.”

“Hey, look over there. The monster rookie adventurer who’s been rising recently.”

“At a young age, he rose to B rank in one go, right? The nickname was probably Snow Flower Fist?”

The contestants in the waiting room started whispering while looking at the other contestants gathered in one place.

Since there was nothing to do until the preliminaries started, evaluating the famous contestants and smirking was the most fun.

And in this waiting room, there was also Godric’s party.

““...””

Godric’s party rarely stood with solemn expressions without conversing with each other, and the gazes of some contestants who liked to talk turned toward such Godric’s party.

“Who are those guys?”

“Don’t know, I’ve never seen them around here.”

“They seem to have come from far away. But... their expressions are different.”

“Right. I would know. That’s a face that only guys who have experienced harsh battlefields can make.”

“Kekek, this Black Dragon Festival is going to be fun.”

Although they were making solemn expressions, since their ears were open, Godric’s party could hear the conversation directed at them.

‘Harsh battlefield...’

‘Keup, a harsh battlefield is right.’

‘We overcame it. We won! Those hellish days.’

‘If it’s now, no matter who the opponent is, I, I think I can win!’

‘‘Because we received Marin noona’s hell special training!’’

The reason Godric’s party was making solemn expressions was because their self-esteem had greatly risen from receiving Nellin’s special training for 3 days before the preliminaries started.

-Oh? You blocked it? Then try blocking this too. Come! Going even faster! How about this? How about this? How about this!

-Ah~ that’s not it! Here! You have to put the center here and move your body to dodge! What’s the use of being tall like a beanpole! You have to utilize your body! Who’s the nagging old man! You come here!

-The dodging pattern! Is monotonous! A bit farther! Flashily! Move!

-Our Dep~ since there are many places to get hit, we should build some toughness this time, right? This noona is saying it because you’re the most praiseworthy and pretty, so don’t lose easily. You know?

Brrr!

Recalling the 3 days of hell, Godric’s party all trembled and broke out in cold sweat.
