Workshop Life (5)

A month’s time had passed since Kkanjuk brought the slime to the secret workshop.

At first it was merely bringing it to save the slime’s life, for the reunion promise Nellin and the slime exchanged later.

[Mallang-nim~ brought meat today too~.]

‘Meat!’

Boing! Boing!

Now Kkanjuk was too happy with the secret workshop life with Mallang.

It was a life of just watching broadcasts in the secret workshop piled thick with dust.

But after the slime entered it completely changed.

First having an existence to take care of from the start was the biggest.

Just advising through the screen and having to take care of an existence right beside were completely different.

At first the meat procurement he thought he had to do for the slime unavoidably was now enjoyable day by day.

Why?

Because the slime is sincerely rejoicing!

As the proverb says praise makes even whales dance.

The pure reaction of the slime rejoicing and being thankful toward Kkanjuk who acts for itself with its whole body warmly wrapped the heart of Kkanjuk who was in a crisis of death from betrayal before becoming a lich.

Not only that.

‘Squeaky clean!’

The slime that found the act of cleaning done out of curiosity fun made tentacles into cloth shape every day and wiped here and there in the secret workshop.

The furniture shining brightly differently from before somehow made even Kkanjuk’s mood feel refreshing.

Moreover the diligently cleaning slime even looked praiseworthy and cute!

[Thread Lady]▶Cleaning Mallang-nim, too cute~!

[Soft Queen]▶Kkanjuk iiiit! How dare you continue making my kin do your chores!

▶Ah lolol have to earn the meal lolol

[Mallang]▶Cleaning is fun!

▶It says it’s fun, have a drink~.

Even in the broadcast through Kkanjuk’s viewpoint the slime’s cleaning time drew good reactions.

As time passed Kkanjuk had the desire well up of wanting to feed the slime better meat if possible.

‘What meat would be good to feed?’

Since feeding anyway he thought it would be good if it was meat with a bit more nutrition and helpful to the slime.

Spices usable for cooking can’t be obtained, but who is Kkanjuk.

Precisely a lich!

Classified as a monster possessing strength far exceeding A-rank if calculating danger grade.

Kkanjuk just can’t approach humans, he was absolutely not weak.

Therefore Kkanjuk thought.

‘Shall I bring even strong monster meat!’

Kkanjuk used warp and moved to the territory of C-rank or B-rank monsters inhabiting places with few people and hunted enough for the slime to eat.

And anyway if preparing in the secret workshop he has to process the innards with warp magic, so he prepared on the spot and brought the remaining meat to the secret workshop.

Every time he brought meat the slime always jumped boing boing and rejoiced, so for Kkanjuk he felt the worth of procuring meat.

The slime deliciously ate every single one of the meat Kkanjuk brought and grilled without missing.

‘Delicious!’

[Mallang-nim, sorry. I want to obtain a bit more ingredients and give something delicious.]

[Mallang]▶It’s fine! Delicious!

[Keuk! Too praiseworthy!]

[Noblesse Fire]▶Kkanjuk bastard, using flame speech again so only Mallang understands.

[Soft Queen]▶What are you saying to my kin this time again!

▶Can’t it be sufficiently expected?

▶Because it’s a slime the thinking head seems lacking?

[Soft Queen]▶What did you just say!

While living with the slime Kkanjuk realized one more fact he hadn’t expected at all.

That was precisely the magic Kkanjuk made inspired by the system’s voice.

Flame speech.

The fact that it was already an existing skill.

What he learned was on the second day of secret workshop life, when continuing to tell the slime stories of his human days, the black dragon subjugation time.

[Mallang]▶Wow!

[Mallang]▶Amazing!

▶???

At that time Kkanjuk was only silent while placing the slime on the hand bone.

However since the slime was reacting with chat, for other viewers it was a situation of naturally not being able to understand what this was.

[Soft Queen]▶My kin, what on earth is amazing?

[Mallang]▶Kkanjuk’s story! Amazing! Fun!

[Soft Queen]▶What?

Kkanjuk was continuing to be silent but since it said Kkanjuk’s story is fun Soft Queen couldn’t understand.

‘Ah, I forgot to make a secret room and talk.’

When Kkanjuk noticed his mistake and tried to turn off the broadcast.

There was an existence that immediately solved Soft Queen’s question.

[Noblesse Fire]▶What, don’t tell me you’re talking to Mallang using flame speech?

That was precisely the fire dragon.

▷No, how did you know?

At the fire dragon’s words Kkanjuk was shocked.

Clearly after becoming a lich, the flame speech he made with quite a bit of hardship the fire dragon knew.

[Noblesse Fire]▶How do I know. Is there more than flame speech for talking to Mallang with mouth shut? Using a skill that isn’t even used much.

[Gothic Luxury Bone]▶Flame speech it’s been a long time seeing. More than that I didn’t know Kkanjuk had the flame speech skill. I thought it was only for dragons.

That’s right.

The flame speech magic Kkanjuk made inspired by the system’s voice.

That was one of the skills dragons had from birth.

‘This can’t be...!’

[Noblesse Fire]▶Flame speech is using something shady. It’s used when having secret talks among themselves.

[Gothic Luxury Bone]▶Isn’t that because you’re a hikikomori with no friends to share flame speech with?

[Noblesse Fire]▶What, this bastard!

Through the content the fire dragon and bone dragon spoke and spat at each other Kkanjuk could realize that fact.

It was regrettable that the magic he thought he created already existed as a skill, but Kkanjuk thought positively.

‘Right! I implemented the dragon’s skill as magic! As expected I’m amazing!’

Kkanjuk’s self-esteem rose.

‘Come to think of it at that time I felt my magic skill hadn’t rusted.’

While the slime was eating meat Kkanjuk who recalled the memories of the time realized it was time to tell old stories.

▷Then since I’ll talk with Mallang-nim I’ll turn off the broadcast for a bit.

[Noblesse Fire]▶What?

[Soft Queen]▶Why are you suddenly turning it off! This is tyranny!

▷Anyway from the outside I just shut my mouth and only Mallang-nim reacts with chat.

▶Then just speaking is enough right?

▷I’ll only let Mallang-nim hear.

▶Too cheap.

▶Boo! Dictator! Boo!

▷My heart.

Kkanjuk unhesitatingly turned off the broadcast and after opening a secret room where he could talk only with the slime continued the story.

+++

Besides obtaining meat, telling stories there was time Kkanjuk enjoyed together with the slime.

That was precisely sparring with the slime.

One week since the slime lived the secret workshop life.

The slime bored of only exercising with the dumbbell Kkanjuk made requested Kkanjuk with chat.

[Mallang]▶Want to spar! Let’s spar!

▷?

[Mallang]▶Kkanjuk is strong! Let’s spar!

In Mallang’s memory Kkanjuk was a strong existence.

Because Paulen who always wins against itself while sparring continued to stay still, and the attack Amelia used at the end, something containing very much energy was also easily bounced!

▶What? New content?

[Noblesse Fire]▶This time Kkanjuk and Mallang sparring?

[Soft Queen]▶Kkanjuk you this guy! If you hurt my kin I absolutely won’t forgive!

[Thread Lady]▶I also wanted to see the cute appearance of Mallang-nim moving excitedly~

[Just Stick It In and See]▶Yes! Have to move so the body tackle doesn’t dull!

▶Ah! Sparring X!

The slime’s request received big response from the viewers.

▷Yy, got it.

Kkanjuk also thought sparring wasn’t bad.

Because seeing the slime gradually increasing skill while sparring with Paulen Kkanjuk also found it fun!

▷Then I’ll summon golems so try facing first.

The moment the sparring started, a magic circle appeared on the floor and 3 humanoid golems formed of rock appeared.

[Mallang]▶Wow! What is this?

▷Golem.

‘My specialty isn’t summon magic, but this much is nothing.’

Kkanjuk who was called the Heavenly Law mage had intermediate level proficiency even in fields that weren’t his specialty.

▷You can break them so try knocking them down as much as you want.

[Mallang]▶Yes!

The slime could relieve boredom after a long time while facing the golems.

Booyong!

The slime attacking the golems while using bounce tackle from the start.

The golems Kkanjuk controls immediately gathered arms and received the slime’s tackle.

Of course only receiving, with one bounce tackle both arms of the golem had big cracks.

And matching the slime’s attack another golem swung a fist toward the slime.

[Soft Queen]▶My kin! Dangerous!

Because it was sparring content seen after a long time the slime queen watched the sparring even more anxiously.

But there was no need to worry.

Pop!

It’s a slime that has sparred with the paladin Paulen for over a month.

Something like a golem’s surprise attack was much slower compared to Paulen’s attack.

The slime that took out a tentacle and struck down the approaching fist toward itself and dodged flew toward the head of the remaining one golem.

Boo~yoong~!

Before the remaining golem moved it used the head as a foothold and used bounce tackle mixed with bounce jumping toward Kkanjuk.

Since it was a broadcast visible from Kkanjuk’s first-person viewpoint that suddenly approaching speed startled some viewers.

But there was no way that attack would reach Kkanjuk.

Zaaaaap!

Because the slime’s attack failed to break the barrier Kkanjuk unfolded.

Unable to break the translucent barrier the soft slime’s body collided with the barrier and stretched widely.

That appearance was somewhat ridiculous yet cute.

[Noblesse Fire]▶Puhahahaha! Ah, so funny lolol.

▶lololol.

▶Really stretching lolol.

[Soft Queen]▶How dare you laugh looking at my kin!

[Thread Lady]▶The stretched Mallang-nim, unexpectedly too~ cute~!

[Just Stick It In and See]▶Sticking failed. Don’t be discouraged, Mallang! Hone the headbutt even more and break it next time!

▷Mallang-nim, are you okay?

While someone was laughing, someone worrying, someone encouraging.

The slime that slid down as if from the collided barrier zuuuuuk~ looked at the barrier for a moment then jumped boing boing in place.

[Mallang]▶Amazing! Hard!

Not even dejected at its attack being blocked, the slime rather exclaimed at Kkanjuk’s barrier.

▶Mental is amazing.

▶Nn thinking about it Mallang always loses to that human and doesn’t get discouraged?

▶Aha, it was just as usual lolol.

▶Always a loser so not frustrated at all.

[Soft Queen]▶Who is calling my kin a loser! Can’t you cancel right now!

▶lololol.

▶Always getting scratched with Mallang lolol.

The slime jumped boing boing again and moved to the original place.

[Mallang]▶Let’s do again! Continue! Spar!

▷Yy got it.

According to the enthusiastic slime’s request Kkanjuk sparred with the slime setting time every time.

Sometimes summoning golems to experience multi-battles, sometimes shooting arrows or swords formed of mana and raising evasion skill, sometimes using magic suddenly rising from the ground to practice being able to sense the flow of mana in advance.

For the slime sparring with Kkanjuk was enjoyable play of obtaining and learning something new every time.

And the days happy for Kkanjuk too, for the slime too passed quickly and when a month passed and reached the present.

[Mallang]▶Want to go out!

Finally what was coming came.
