Chapter 9: Care slime\n \n \nWe briefly introduced ourselves and I quickly led them

to my bedroom (house).\n \n"Oh....... It's a magnificent tree."\n \nIt was Fletty who let out a comment.\n \nHe has blond hair, gentle green eyes, and a sweet

face. His figure is solid and looks very reliable.\n \nI can tell that he had been training a lot.\n \nEven though he is wearing heavy armor, his back is

straight.\n \nIt seems that he is a knight of a small knight order

after all.\n \nHe is carrying an improvised stretcher and the injured

woman is lying on it. Her condition was much better than before.\n \nThat's good. The candy seemed to be effective.\n \n"Garner, I'll bring Mildy inside. I need you to

secure the surrounding area."\n \n"Yes, Sir!"\n \nThe knight called Garner stands upright.\n \nHe is a tall knight, one head taller than Fletty. His

rocky, square-shaped face gives the impression of a solid personality.\n \nMaybe he was born in a different country. His skin is

light brown.\n \nBy the way, the Onee-san on the stretcher is Mildy.\n \nWhen I heard Fletty's instructions, I shook my head.\n \n"You don't need to do that because the monsters

won't come near here."\n \n"No monsters will come here?"\n \n"There's no guarantee that they won't approach at

all, right? It's better to be cautious......"\n \nThe last person who spoke was the Healer onee-san.\n \nAs I recall, her name is Richil. She is petite,

beautiful, and neat. She seemed to be a bit cautious and took a step back from

me.\n \n"I am using a monster repellant, so the monsters

around here rarely approach me."\n \n"monster repellent? I don't smell any smoke......"\n \nSmoke?\n \nMaybe that's a type of magic tool that creates a fire

and smells that monsters don't like?\n \nThough I've never used one.......\n \n"No. I rubbed the surrounding trees with Dra ----

Wyvern's sweat."\n \n"Wyvern sweat?"\n \nFletty and Richil raised their voices in confusion.\n \nWhile the quiet Garner only raised his eyebrows a

little.\n \n"I've never heard of using monster sweat to repel

monsters....... How about you, Richil?"\n \n"Sorry. I'm also......."\n \nAs if in confusion, Richil's voice gets even smaller.\n \n"I don't think he's lying."\n \nGarner, who remained silent for a while, finally

speaks.\n \nHis voice is quite masculine and sounds nice.\n \n"I just tried to use detection magic, but there

is no sign of monsters. At least until the nearby river's edge."\n \n"This mountain is a place that even experienced

Monster hunters rarely get close to. I heard that this place is a monsters'

den.\n \n"That would explain one of the reasons why this

child can live here......"\n \n"Indeed."\n \nRichil said, and then Fletty nodded.\n \n"No, more importantly, why does this child have a

wyvern sweat? Aaah, so many things I can't understand."\n \nFletty scratches his head.\n \n"Well ... Why don't we take the injured person

into my house for the time being?"\n \n"Ah, Aaah....... You're right. I should

apologize. I had some weird thoughts."\n \n"No problem. Don't worry about it."\n \nI said that, but inwardly I was breaking out in a cold

sweat.\n \nIt's natural to be curious.\n \nIf I were in Fletty's position, I would ask a lot of

questions.\n \nBesides, I already told a lie.\n \nThe wyvern is a lie.\n \nIt's actually the sweat of a Grand Dragon. Dragon's

sweat has a strong smell that covers a large area, so most monsters are too

frightened to get any closer.\n \nThanks to this, I don't have to worry about animals damaging

my farm.\n \nHowever, there is a limit to its range.\n \nI let the injured person sleep on my bed for the time

being.\n \nI was sleeping as an adult until yesterday, so her

legs don't stick out. It's just the right size.\n \nI was expecting some kind of complaint about the

unnatural size of the bed, but Fletty doesn't seem to be concerned about it.\n \nHe probably has lots of other things on his mind than

to worry about that.\n \n"Her complexion has improved significantly. Now,

if only I could use my recovery magic. ......"\n \nRichil-san takes out a wand that looks like a

conductor's stick.\n \nShe concentrates, but it seems she can't gather any

magic power.\n \n"Your magic power is drained, isn't it? Then take

this......."\n \n"Isn't this the recovery medicine you gave Mildy

earlier? This is the recovery...... medicine, isn't it?"\n \n"It's a little bit different from the previous

one. See, the color is different."\n \n"Oh..... That's right..... The previous one was

blue, but this one is red?"\n \nRichil is still wary, so I eat the candy.\n \nI want to show her that there is no poison in it.\n \nWhile gulping it down, I take out another red candy

from the same bag and offer it to her.\n \nRichil looks at Fletty once and asks for confirmation

with her eyes.\n \nFletty eventually agrees, and Richil takes the candy.\n \n"Then..."\n \nShe timidly brings the candy closer to her mouth.\n \nShe put it on her tongue, nodded her head, and closed

her eyes at the same time.\n \nImmediately after, her beautiful blue eyes wide open.\n \n"OIHiiiiIIIIiiIIi!"\n \nRichil screamed.\n \nShe puffs up her cheeks, and her face turns red.\n \nI could hear the sound of her licking inside her

mouth.\n \n"Are, are you OK, Richil?"\n \nFletty's face turned pale at the sight of Richil's

transformation.\n \nGarner, who was watching from near the room's

entrance, also widened his mouth in surprise.\n \n"Yes, yes, Commander. But that ......"\n \n"What, what is it?"\n \n"It's the first time I've had such a delicious

candy. The sweetness is elegant, and there is a slight sourness like fruit

juice. It's like a cake eaten by the nobles---- haa!"\n \nRichil who was talking so passionately earlier,

regains her calm.\n \nHer face turned redder like a fully ripe tomato.\n \n"So, sosososo Sorry, Commander. I was a little

distracted."\n \n"No, it's fine. More importantly, how is your

magic power?"\n \n"Magic power?"\n \nRichil-san was momentarily flustered.\n \nApparently, the candy was so good that she forgot her

initial intention.\n \nThe others look a little confused, but I am a bit

happy.\n \nAfter a while, Richil-san remembers. She bows her head

again. \n \n"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."\n \n"Eeto.......

Magic power, eh............."\n \n"What's wrong, Richil?"\n \nFletty took a deep breath.\n \n"My, my....... my magic power seems to be fully

recovered."\n \n"Full, fully recovered ....... Even if you

emptied a bottle of magic potion, your magic power wouldn't fully recover,

right?\n \n"So, sorry. But, but I...... didn't lie."\n \nRichil was half crying as she replied.\n \nThe candy I just gave Richil-san is not an ordinary

candy.\n \nIt is a magic slime, a rare magic slime that can use

magic.\n \nBy the way, the one I gave to Mildy was a Care Slime

candy.\n \nIf I give her ordinary slime candy, it will only make

her feel better at most.\n \nBut the Care Slime candy has the effect of healing an

injured body.\n \nWell...... in any case, they will be surprised to find

out that the candy is made from slime.\n \n"Commander, now ----."\n \nGarner interrupts the two of them as they continue to

argue.\n \n"Ah, Aaa. Well, I'm glad you're fully recovered.

Please heal Mildy."\n \n"Oh, OK......."\n \nAfter saying that, Richil raised her wand.\n \nShe closes her eyes and concentrates.\n \n"Ariel, God of Healing! Give your wounded child

your healing breath and words."\n \nSo this is the spell.\n \nI learned about it, but I've never seen it before.\n \nGreen color magic power gathered at the tip of Richil's

wand.\n \nShe cast it on Mildy, who is lying on the bed.\n \nHer whole body is enveloped in green light.\n \nHer complexion became even better, and her injuries

began to heal.\n \nEventually, Mildy is completely healed.\n \n"Now, we can rest assured. She will sleep for a

while until she recovers her strength."\n \n"I see. I'm glad to hear that."\n \nFletty exhales in relief.\n \nHe looks at me and bows his head deeply.\n \n"Thank you, Luciel-kun. You really helped us."\n \n"No, it's not a big deal. Please raise your

head."\n \nI waved my hands at his gratitude.\n \n"By the way, I was wondering. What is that

candy......?"\n \n"That's right. How to make it? I've never had a

candy like that before."\n \nRichil-san asks me with sparkling eyes.\n \nApparently, she is more concerned about the taste than

the candy's effects.\n \nI'm in trouble......\n \nWhen he sees me troubled, Fletty turns his face down.\n \n"No, I don't think it's polite to question our savior.

Forget the question I just asked. Just tell me one thing. Luciel-kun----"\n \n \n"Why do you live in the mountains like this?"
