Workshop Life (3)

‘How on earth did this happen?’

Kkanjuk couldn’t hide his surprise at the scene unfolding before his eyes currently.

The laboratory where the dust-piled state was natural felt a bit unfamiliar to Kkanjuk the appearance of the laboratory where dust was wiped and even had a slight gloss.

[Did Mallang-nim do it?]

‘Yes! Cleaning!’

At the question sent with flame speech the slime jumped boing boing in place.

To hear a more certain answer Kkanjuk turned on the broadcast he had turned off when going out to hunt.

[Mallang-nim, I turned on the broadcast so come in]

Of course as soon as he turned on the broadcast there were viewers entering even before Mallang as if they had been waiting.

[Soft Queen]▶Why are you turning off the broadcast! I don’t know why you’re doing this just because of the hunting appearance!

▶Kkanjuk seems to get embarrassed more than expected?

[Thread Lady]▶Oh my? The nest became clean?

▶?

▶No, why is this real?

[Mallang]▶I cleaned! Squeaky clean!

▶Mallang cleaned?

▶The tentacle changed weirdly again.

The viewers also were surprised the same upon seeing the cleaned secret workshop visible as soon as the broadcast turned on.

▷Mallang-nim, why did you clean?

[Mallang]▶If lots of dust have to clean! Cleaning is fun!

While answering the slime moved its body up and down.

[Thread Lady]▶Mallang-nim~ too praiseworthy and cute~.

[Soft Queen]▶You this guy, Kkanjuk! How dare you make my kin do cleaning! Impudent!

▷I didn’t make it;;;.

[Soft Queen]▶Even if you didn’t make it it’s all the same! You should have done well usually so my kin doesn’t clean!

▶Answer already decided lolol.

Flustered at the slime that suddenly cleaned, and also flustered at the slime queen’s words getting angry saying he made the slime clean.

But the fluster was momentary, Kkanjuk took out the hunted animals.

‘First have to give Mallang food.’

▷Mallang-nim, wait a moment. I’ll prepare the meal.

[Mallang]▶Meal!

▶What? Starting cooking?

[Noblesse Fire]▶Mere Kkanjuk cooking...?

▷What do you think of me?

Kkanjuk first entered preparation for cooking.

Shashashashak!

Summoning a blade made of wind he cut the brought tree and made firewood and sticks to skewer meat, and supports to support the sticks.

‘Waaaa!’

At the flashily occurring magic demonstration the slime’s eyes sparkled brightly.

▶What? How did you cut?

[Gothic Luxury Bone]▶Hoo, this is magic?

▶Kkanjuk sh*t, could use magic?

Without answering the viewers’ questions Kkanjuk then entered meat preparation.

Using telekinesis with mana he floated the meat, then peeled the skin and split the belly and took out the innards.

Using warp magic he discarded the separated innards outside and the appearance of preparing by parts was an amazing scene for monsters.

‘Amazing!’

▶Air meat dismantling show!

▶Didn’t know Kkanjuk had this kind of specialty.

▶Discarding innards taste ignorant bastard.

▶No need to eat all that right?

▶You... want to fight?

Unintentionally, the cooking scene with Kkanjuk’s magic added was giving unexpected fun to the viewers.

Kkanjuk who divided the meat by parts skewered the sticks into the meat then gathered the firewood in one place and started a fire.

Hwareureureuk!

The fire started with magic soon burned the firewood and maintained the flames, Kkanjuk fixed the supports around it then placed the sticks with meat skewered on the supports.

▷Wait a bit.

[Mallang]▶Yes!

With the sound of firewood burning crackle crackle the meat grills on the fire and emits smoke.

Kkanjuk recalled past memories and held the stick and rotated so the meat grills evenly.

▶This much should be cooked try eating.

Kkanjuk cut the appropriately cooked part, then brought a plate not used for a long time with telekinesis and placed the meat and put it in front of the slime.

The slime immediately climbed on the plate and absorbed the meat Kkanjuk gave.

‘Will it be okay?’

Kkanjuk watching with an anxious heart whether the slime will like the meat without even seasoning.

But there was something Kkanjuk overlooked.

The slime that as it grows came to know the concept of ‘taste’ better.

Even so its usual eating habits haven’t gone anywhere.

Even if the taste is worse than what it usually eats as long as nutrients are sufficient the slime could eat deliciously.

Above all.

‘Kkanjuk made it!’

The fact itself that someone made cooking for itself was meaningful for the slime so the act of eating itself was enjoyable.

Even if it was meat without seasoning and just grilled it was Kkanjuk’s goodwill.

Nellin, Jessie, Godric’s party, Amelia and Paulen, etc., the slime received goodwill from various people.

Goodwill made the slime enjoyable and happy and warmed the inside.

Therefore the words the slime would say after eating the meat were only one.

[Mallang]▶Delicious! Want to eat more!

‘...!’

Not just seeing through the screen, the praiseworthy appearance of the slime actually seen before the eyes now inflicted a strong blow on Kkanjuk’s nonexistent heart.

‘I understand why other people easily accept Mallang.’

Because it’s cute! And the reaction is too good!

At a glance an ordinary slime, but since it lets one immediately know what that lively movement means it looked even cuter.

Moreover since Kkanjuk can directly understand that meaning through the chat the slime couldn’t help but be even more praiseworthy and cute.

▷Wait, I’ll grill more.

[Noblesse Fire]▶Kkanjuk this bastard, seems already done in by Mallang.

[Thread Lady]▶Mallang-nim’s cuteness is cheat level~.

▶Is it falling for it~.

▶What’s good about that shoddy slime? Aren’t everyone’s eyes crooked?

▶[♬I am the body cavity~♬ has been kicked.]

▶Troublemaker cut!

+++

Clatter clatter.

The carriage heading from the Magic Tower to the Holy City.

Inside it Amelia, Paulen, and Gracie were riding.

Why is Gracie also accompanying in the carriage heading to the Holy City.

That was precisely the lich.

The slime Kkanjuk took was the reason.

Externally the lich taking the slime itself didn’t become a big topic.

What became the biggest topic was not the slime’s kidnapping, but the monster called lich itself appearing.

And that at the Magic Tower that can be said to be the headquarters of the magic path!

Of course problems about the Magic Tower’s security arose, and there the inside of the Magic Tower became noisy about what the lich’s purpose was.

The parties who were at the place.

Even if Amelia, Paulen, Gracie said the purpose the lich directly spoke people didn’t easily believe.

Because it’s a lich!

Because it’s a lich called the end of a great mage who fell!

It was hard to think that such a lich appeared for a reason like ‘Oh! An amazing slime! I have to take it!’!

Rather the people who heard the three’s words began to speculate in another direction.

Isn’t the slime just an excuse, and it came to laugh at the mages living in the present?

Isn’t the evidence of that taking away the beard of the Magic Tower Lord said to be the pinnacle of the Magic Tower!

Or rather by taking away the pet the Saintess is accompanying, the symbol of the church that is in a hostile relationship with mages as well as itself, wasn’t the purpose to mock?

However, for other people the slime is just an ordinary slime.

They don’t even think it’s special and originally haven’t seen the slime’s tricks, so even if saying the slime is special so the lich took it not believing was natural.

Anyway since the lich appearing is unchanged the Magic Tower had to establish countermeasures.

Countermeasures so the lich can’t invade the Magic Tower again.

Or countermeasures to be able to fight even after appearing.

The senior mages at the Magic Tower excluding the Magic Tower Lord held a meeting and somehow racked their brains and discussed countermeasures against the lich.

Originally the Magic Tower Lord Brooks Besilja should also participate in the meeting but.

“Beard my, my beard a, a, aaaaa...!”

Brooks Besilja was in a situation of not coming to his senses from the shock of losing the beard.

Young mages couldn’t understand why he’s like that just for the beard disappearing.

The senior mages in the same position as the Magic Tower Lord, growing beards and with empty heads, sympathized with Brooks Besilja and acknowledged the reason for not participating in the meeting.

Amelia after the slime was kidnapped by the lich, saddened by her own powerlessness of not being able to do anything shut herself in the room for about a day.

Paulen also even though he has to think of Amelia’s safety first, felt pathetic about himself who could only watch the precious exercise companion slime being obediently taken by the lich.

Meanwhile Gracie.

‘My paaaaaper!’

Was in a state of falling into the pit of despair.

The slime’s kidnapping?

Of course sad and regrettable.

But for Gracie more than that the method to prove the paper completely disappearing approached the biggest.

That was because the family’s support funds were hanging on the paper Gracie had to prove.

Gracie also knows.

That her paper if there is no evidence will be dismissed as very absurd nonsense.

To prove the paper certain evidence or witnesses were needed.

The evidence slime was kidnapped by the lich.

The Magic Tower Lord who would be the most credible witness at the Magic Tower went crazy.

No monster to prove her paper, no person to prove it either.

If it goes like this the paper written after a long time all becomes in vain.

Write another new paper?

Originally because no other topic came to mind she decided to write the paper upon seeing the slime using magic tools.

Even if trying to write a new paper now the concentration was all used up writing the paper related to the slime and magic tools until now.

Even if writing a new paper there is no guarantee it will receive a better evaluation than what was written now.

Then the method is one.

‘Slime... have to find Budul!’

The lich said.

If it loses interest it will release the slime.

When it will lose interest is unknown.

However the opponent is a lich.

A monster called the end of a mage, but objectively seen a monster with high intelligence.

No matter how peculiar Budul is as a slime it didn’t seem like a monster of lich level would keep interest for long.

‘After being released I’ll be able to discover quickly. There won’t be another slime that amazing and follows people well!’

Then when such rumors spread, who is the one who can find the fastest?

The Magic Tower’s mages?

No, originally they are only interested in the lich now and not placing importance on the slime.

‘If they knew how peculiar Budul is they would have placed more interest but...’

The mages holding the meeting now haven’t even directly seen the slime and haven’t read Gracie’s paper.

Busy devising countermeasures where is the leisure to read papers.

If the Magic Tower Lord comes to his senses and advocates it would be different, but even from Gracie’s eyes the Magic Tower Lord now seemed to need considerable time to come to his senses.

Therefore what Gracie can believe now was precisely Amelia and Paulen.

‘Have to go together!’

Gracie flung open the door of the villa where the two were and requested.

“Saintess! Paladin! Please take me along when going to the Holy City too! I also want to find Budul even a moment faster!”

“Gracie, to think you thought of Budul that much! Ah! I become pathetic myself!”

“Gracie...! Yes. We can’t stay frustrated by powerlessness like this!”

“...Huh?”

And though unintentional.

Gracie’s request became important firewood that ignited the will for Paulen and Amelia.
