2.6 The Matter Hiding Slime Inside Cardboard Box Of Forbidden Books

After nished playing around with a female knight equipped with single bloomers and vacuum cleaner, I started cleaning up again. The sentimental feeling due to the sudden separation with Deet has also  disappeared quite a bit as we did a physical labor.  

[Deet-san is really a nice person, I never know that] (Lia)  

[I knew it from the beginning] (Toru)  

Both me and Lia continued cleaning up and tidying up while putting on a smile.  

[Oh, the place became quite beautiful] (Lia)  

[Okay, I think its good enough. I won't use the items inside these cardboard boxes immediately, I wonder if I should put them inside the closet?] (Toru)  

[Together with the forbidden books?] (Lia)  

[Oh~ right, that’s right! These are artifacts that I don't use very much] (Toru)  

[I will carry it] (Lia)  

[No, No, it's ne. Lia should take a rest] (Toru)  

Dangerous, that was close. I made Lia wait in the dining room while I packed the cardboard boxes that I didn't use into the closet.  

[We almost nished tidying up with this] (Toru)  

This is still the second day after I moved in to the apartment connected to the dungeon. It was two days like a storm. I want to take it easy for a while and earn some experience. But of course not real life experience that wouldn't able to be earned easily.  

Regardless of whether I will become a dungeon master or not, I think that it's better to be a little stronger, my home and dungeon are connected after all.  

I might be able to help Lia and Deet more if I was stronger. I wouldn't be this concerned if I didn't know them, but I did know them.  

I want to make this room more comfortable as a resting place for adventurers who are in trouble, I want to put my knowledge in use more, I want to become stronger while at it.  

[Come to think of it, the iron door was opened in a good timing so the monsters lled the room afterward] (Toru)  

Deet has defeated a large and a brutal monster with magic. I can go to get rid of the small shes later. Since it's already evening, let's have a dinner with Lia instead of going to dungeon.  

Enami-san came, I went to Don Quijote with Deet, I fought rampaging monsters inside the dungeon..... I just realized that now I'm so hungry because I had no time to eat lunch. 

[Lia let's have a dinner. I will make something for us] (Toru)  

[Oh yes, I will help too!] (Lia)  

Lia is not very good with cooking but if we do it together, I guess it will be ne.  

[What are you making this time?] (Lia)  

It's a slime. The color is light blue. To tell the truth, I have killed several of them the other moments ago. I was desperate to close the door and to help Enami-san at that time. Now I don't have that kind of thing in mind, I get nervous to face them.  

But according to Deet's story, there seems to be no case of people losing against blue light slime even if their level is 1. Furthermore, I brought Japanese equipment that's basically has a high capability. I tightened my hand that’s holding a pickaxe. 

I approached slowly and swung my pickaxe, the slime scattered with a splash.  

[Good!!]  

I thoroughly look for slime inside the big room of the dungeon, but I can hardly nd one.  

[There is nothing left, huh..... that's right!!] (Toru)  

I wonder if there is larva of slime somewhere here. I missed a small slime before and it got bigger, so it's not that strange if this time, there is one or two small slime escaped from my sight. I carefully scan the surroundings.  

[There!!] (Toru)  

A slime smaller than eraser is slowly crawling on the stone oor. However, even if I defeated such a small slime, the experience value I got would be low for sure.  

[Let's feed this little one until got bigger and defeat it! But wait, if things goes well, there is a chance that the slime will multiplied! This is the rst step of the aquaculture plan!] (Toru)  

I put the smile inside a plastic bag from Don Quijote to take it home. I found a transparent tupperware in the kitchen.  

[Yeah, this is a sturdy container so it will be ne] (Toru)  

I placed a small plate containing water and vegetable waste.  

[Open the air hole.....] (Toru)  

It's nished. Even so, this slime is white.  

[I hear that it's better to be careful of purple and ocher-colored slime, so I wonder about the white one] (Toru)  

I’m planning to nurture this slime in the dungeon but somehow, I want to watch it a little more.  

Unexpected thought comes to my mind when I was thinking about such things.  

[This slime, would it be better to keep it as a pet rather than for experience value?] (Toru)  

Then, I suddenly heard a sound of someone came out from the washroom. It must be Lia, she will found out about the slime.....  

[Oh, no! I have to hide this slime somewhere! That's right!!] (Toru)  

In the closet, I hide the tupperware in the cardboard box full of forbidden books (= erotic doujinshi) which I had strictly warned Lia to never open it.  

[You can read the forbidden book but don't come out from the closet!] (Toru)  

I got the feeling that the slime shake its body with *purun* to answer me.  

The door of Japanese-style room opened so I closed the closet in a hurry. Lia in a bloomers has a strange look on her face.  

[Toru-sama, what's wrong?] (Lia) 

[No-Nothing. There is absolutely nothing!!] (Toru)  

[Is that so? The bathroom is available] (Lia)  

[Yeah, thanks!] (Toru)  

I went to the bathroom in a good mood. I hope the white slime get bigger quickly!!
