Elf (3)
The slime that entered the elf village while placed on Nellin's hand continued to tremble burrur, burrur expressing joy.
‘Elf! Elf!’
Elves here, elves there.
The living being it saw for the second time was here and there.
That alone is wondrous, but the elf village was overflowing with even more wondrous things.
First, there were many elves with different appearances.
Elves with various hair such as light-green hair the same color as itself, blue hair, blonde, etc.
The clothes are also each similar yet different.
Above all, the actions were each different.
Elves shopping of course, elves just taking a walk, elves lowering their heads seeing Nellin.
There were also elves sending curious gazes toward the slime.
Anyway, all of that was extremely stimulating curiosity and joyful for the slime.
Meanwhile, the appearance of the elf village was also visible to the viewers through the slime's vision and the third-person broadcast screen.
[Noblesse Fire]▶Is this the kanf village? Nothing special.
[Gothic Luxury Bone]▶It's the first time seeing this many elves.
▶Kanf city, kanf city.
▶The kanf that just passed looks tasty.
▶Hmm... possible.
▶Nim?
There were indifferent reactions, but most were interestingly looking at the elf village scenery.
From the monsters' standpoint, the slime's broadcast is the so-called elf kingdom!
Elves of the Dersia continent that are hard to see on the magic continent.
Touring the village where such elves inhabit also had its own fun.
[Squishy Queen]▶If I was on the Dersia continent, I would have personally annihilated it!
▶Ack lmao still holding it lmao
▶What can you do about the slime being shabby?
The Slime Queen is revealing anger at the attitude Nellin showed to the slime.
▷Elf! Many! Wondrous! Happy!
Since the slime itself is purely happy, that anger also ultimately became a target of teasing.
▶The person in question is only liking it but you getting angry what can you do? lmao
[Squishy Queen]▶Aaaak! Member of my kind! What is so good!
The Slime Queen's frustration was clearly revealed in the chat window where she can write her thoughts as is.
“Continuously trembling? You are liking it, right?”
Meanwhile, Nellin who felt the slime's joyful trembling with her hand while walking the village was puzzled.
‘What is so good?’
For herself, the village scenery no different from usual.
For Nellin who understood the slime's trembling as joy, she simply did not know what is joyful.
“Nellin-nim!”
“Brought a deer here.”
Nellin arrived at the butcher shop that processes prey when caught in the village.
“You even drained the blood in advance? You can just bring it.”
“Then it's heavy? Draining the blood early has no gamey smell either.”
“Thank you. Shall I process the meat right away and bring it in the evening?”
“Yes, please.”
“Yes! But... what is that slime on that hand?”
The butcher elf's gaze turned toward the slime.
Nellin briefly explained the process of bringing the slime.
“Is it okay to bring it? What the elder says is...”
The butcher elf uttered a worry similar to the guard.
“Hey, don't worry. Would the grandma get angry one by one over something like this? It's just a slime? And I'm Nellin, Nellin. Great hero Nellin. Even if the grandma gets a bit angry, it's nothing special.”
Nellin was about to take the slime and head to her own house as is, when the jerky hanging in the butcher shop caught her eye.
‘It will eat that too, right?’
Nellin bought jerky to give to the slime and returned to her own house.
Perhaps because she is praised as a great hero, it was wider and better than other elves' houses.
However, since it was a village in the forest not a city, it was not a house that felt greatly luxurious.
On one wall, various kinds of bows and arrows were hanging, and on the opposite wall, a picture was stored in a large frame and hanging.
There were 5 people in the picture, and Nellin was also among them.
As scenes it sees for the first time continuously unfold, the slime went beyond trembling burrur and got excited. The slime jumped poyong! from Nellin's palm and came down to the floor.
And it jumped poyong poyong while circling around Nellin.
‘Wondrous! Wondrous! Many! Many things I don't know!’
“Is coming to our house that good? A strange slime.”
Still unpredictable but perhaps because emotions are felt in each action, it felt cute.
Nellin sat on the sofa and tapped beside her with her hand.
“Slime, come here.”
Seeing the slime that understands words and immediately comes up on the sofa, Nellin was convinced.
“As expected, you understand my words, right?”
Nellin placed the jerky bought at the butcher shop in front of the slime.
“Here, eat. I said I'd give delicious things, right? This is delicious.”
‘Delicious things!’
The slime immediately jumped small and went up on the jerky.
The jerky that went up on the sofa slowly entered the slime's body.
Not something simple and small in size like moss or grass, nor something liquid like the deer's blood, well-dried jerky.
The jerky that went through various cooking such as seasoning and sprinkling seasonings was truly a food containing abundant nutrients.
In other words.
‘Delicious!’
The jerky was the food with the strongest feeling of ‘delicious’ among the things the slime has eaten so far.
It took time to absorb because it is an unfamiliar solid food, but the slime could slowly enjoy the nutrients absorbed for that time.
“Eating jerky well too?”
The slime that finished absorbing the jerky expressed the joy it felt and jumped poyong poyong on the sofa.
“Like it that much? Well, our village's jerky is tasty.”
Nellin took out jerky from her bosom, put it in her mouth, and handed one more jerky to the slime.
“You also eat more.”
The slime went up on the jerky again and started absorbing.
While the slime was absorbed in eating the jerky, the chat room became quite active.
[Squishy Queen]▶Why are you gulping down whatever is given, member of my kind! It might be dangerous!
▶lmao
▶Continuously getting scratched lmao
The Slime Queen who dislikes the very fact of entering the elf's village and the chats of those teasing such her.
[Just Ram and See]▶Why eat meat like that?
▶Those who don't know the taste of fresh blood tsk tsk
The chats of those who can't acknowledge different tastes.
▶Here for a moment! The reason humans or elves eat like that? Unlike us monsters, their stomachs are not strong and they are weak to somewhat dirty things, so they make it so they can eat meat with something called ‘cooking’ that is easy for them to absorb!
▶Explanation bug get lost a bit.
▶Who said they want to know?
Etc., such as getting snubbed while explaining, the chat window was becoming more active compared to when the broadcast was first turned on.
The reason was that the number of viewers watching the slime's broadcast had surged.
The biggest reason for the surge was that the rumor that there is a monster that entered the elf village had spread.
A weak slime can broadcast, and even enters the elf village?
The number of viewers just watching out of pure curiosity also gradually increased.
▷Delicious! Jerky! Delicious!
▶Squishy-nim who eats jerky well is also cute~!
Unaware that its own viewers are increasing in real time, the slime wrote its pure emotions in the chat window and concentrated on the ‘taste’ of the jerky again.
‘Delicious!’
It was then.
─Tok tok tok
Someone knocked on the door of Nellin's house.
“Nellin-nim! Are you there?”
“Yes?”
Nellin who got up from her seat got up from the sofa and headed to the door.
“Who is it? Uh, you are...”
What came to Nellin's house was an elf in charge of the elder's direct guard.
The elf smiled awkwardly and said to Nellin.
“The elder is calling...She said to bring the slime you brought together as well.”
“Haa, that grandma really. Got it, let's go.”
Nellin who sighed went to the sofa and reached out her hand toward the slime.
“Slime, ride on top again. Let's go together a bit.”
The slime jumped poyong! and skillfully rode on Nellin's hand.
Since it is Nellin who gave not only the deer's blood but also the delicious jerky, the slime followed her words well.
The slime trembling burrur as soon as it rode on Nellin's hand.
It was a trembling containing the expectation that since it saw new scenery thanks to riding on Nellin's hand, it might be able to see new things this time as well.
+++
Following the elder's direct guard elf, Nellin arrived at the elder's house.
“You've come, Nellin-nim.”
The center of the elder's house.
In the meeting room built separately to hold meetings, the elf elder was sitting with her legs crossed.
An elf with yellow blonde hair long flowing and green eyes.
Fitting the characteristic of long-lived elves, the elf called elder had the appearance of a middle-aged woman.
“Nellin-nim, I heard an unbelievable story a little while ago. That Nellin-nim who eradicated the calamity together with the heroes 50 years ago entered the village bringing a monster. And in my eyes, a monster sitting on Nellin-nim's hand is visible now.”
Jjarit! The elf elder who glared at the slime greatly scolded Nellin.
“Are you in your right mind!”
At the elf elder's scolding, Nellin said while picking her ear with her left pinky finger.
“Still loud voice, grandma. What are you getting so angry about? Even if it's a monster, it's just a slime.”
“Even if it's a slime, it's a monster! How can the great hero who should be everyone's example be this careless!”
Nellin shook her head while frowning as if fed up with the words example.
“What example. Becoming a great hero is because I fought well. Don't expect even the old-fashioned things from me, how many times do I have to say, grandma.”
“Haa, lamentable.”
“More than that, grandma, look at this. This guy understands words?”
“What is that bizarre sound again?”
“It's real? That's why I was wondrous and brought it.”
Nellin lowered her hand a bit and said to the slime.
“Slime, try getting down from the hand.”
The slime that reacted right away to those words got down from the hand and landed on the floor.
“Hmm?”
She additionally took out jerky and shook it in front of the slime.
“Slime, do you want to eat jerky again?”
‘I want to eat!’
The slime jumped in place as if responding to Nellin's words.
“Good, then jump in place exactly three times and stop. Then I'll give it.”
‘Three times!’
When receiving knowledge about broadcasting, the slime that also came to know the concept of numbers jumped poyong! in place exactly 3 times and stopped.
“No, what is this...”
At the appearance that seems to accurately understand Nellin's words, the elf elder widened her eyes in surprise.
“Good, well done.”
Nellin put the jerky down on the floor.
“Now eat.”
The slime immediately rode on top of the jerky and absorbed the jerky.
‘Delicious!’
The slime trembling burrurru enjoying the taste of the jerky to the fullest.
[Yarn Lady]▶Kyaaaaaak! Too cute~!!!
▶lmao trained lmao
▶If you give food it has to do it lmao
[Squishy Queen]▶Aaaaaak! Member of my kinddddd! You don't have to listen to such words aaaa!
▶If you don't follow and get sulky you can get hit by an arrow and die?
[Just Ram and See]▶When! When will you use the body slam I taught!
▶Can't distinguish time and place?
▶Is that why getting rejected by the children?
[Just Ram and See]▶Shut up!
▶Ah! Elf damn!
“How is it, grandma? This guy is smart, right? It understands words?”
“...Nellin-nim.”
The elf elder looked at the slime with cold eyes and said.
“Dispose of that slime right now!”
“What!?”
▶?
▶???
▶That disgusting kanf?
“Hurry!”
“No, why!”
At the elf elder's sudden outrageous remark, Nellin reflexively embraced the slime as if protecting it.
Even though it heard words threatening its life.
‘Soft!’
The slime was surprised and enjoying the sensation it feels in real time.
