While Killing Slimes for 300 Years, I Became the MAX Level Unknowingly - Chapter 48

Chapter 48

Day of the Festival

Beelzebub decided to stay over today as well . Since I owed her a huge favor, it was only right that I display the utmost hospitality to her .

“I’ll draw the bath for you, so please be ready . I can also wash your back, if you’d like . ”
“Well . . I want Farufa and Sharusha to join in too . ”
“The girls are asleep though . . But alright, they should take one before sleeping anyway . I’ll go wake them . ”

Beelzebub looked to be extremely happy with that . Seems like she’s about to blurt out, ‘Let me adopt them!’ again . Shower them with affection all you like, but they still won’t be your daughters .

“I brought this for the two of them to play with . ”
Beelzebub brought out a toy duck with hollowed out insides .
“It floats on water . It’ll make bath-time fun for them . ”
“So this kind of thing exists here…”

My two daughters seemed delighted to enter the bath with Beelzebub, so I approved of it .
They even came out smiling and happily drying their heads .

“Ah~ Seriously, the both of you are so cute!”
She really likes children . . Good grief .

“They’re so cute I want to bring one home!’




“I’m absolutely not okay with that!’
She got a bit too enthusiastic about the idea there, so I had to firmly turn her down .

After exiting the bath, Beelzebub started talking to Harukara about the ‘Nutritional Alcohol’, among other things .

“I wonder if you can grow those kinds of nourishing and sturdy crops in the Demon Lands . . ? As the Minister of Agriculture, It is my duty to advance policies that increase commercial crop yield”

“Ah, in that case, send a report on the region’s climate and other geographical features . I’ll compile a list of feasible crops . ”

Harukara was a pro at these kinds of conversations . She was careless at times, but she could get the job done in her area of specialty .

They soon lost track of time in the midst of conversation, and before they knew it, it was time for bed .

“Well then, how about we go around the festival together, tomorrow?”
“Sure, sounds good . See you then . ”

Like this, the long day at Witch’s House came to an end .

●

The following day, we set out to to the village holding the Dancing Festival .
There already were people dancing every which way . Also, the stalls had already been set for business, lined up in busy rows . At any rate, the place was like a flea market, with unneeded house articles being sold cheaply .

“Ho, they’re doing relatively well for a countryside festival . ”
“Are you going to be arrogant today? Well, it can’t be denied that this is a festival held in the countryside, objectively speaking . ”’

A festival such as this might seem comparably trivial to one in a big city . But it’s fine . The simplicity of it is just right .

However, since the festival is fairly local and tightly-knit, a great uproar is inevitable . .

“Ooh! It’s the Witch-sama’s party!”
“Look, it’s capable waitress-san from yesterday!”
“Hey, clear the path!”

The small sea of humans suddenly parted, emptying the path, and the situation quickly became like the story of Moses .

“No, no, no! Everyone fussing over me just makes it harder to walk these streets, so please treat me like a normal guest!”

Given the situation, however, the people of the village would not concede .
“No, we insist, please walk freely on the main street!’
“That’s right! You’re like everyone’s god in a certain sense!’

I guess it’s all boiled down to this . .

“It can’t be helped, Azusa-sama . Isn’t it fine to let them pamper you like a god for this special occasion, Azusa-sama . ”
Leica is flattering me, but you’re also part of the ‘god’s’ party . There’s not much of a difference .

“Well then, Leica, why don’t you try walking with the attitude of a god? I’ll follow your lead . ”
“I- . . I don’t want to . . It would be outrageous for someone such as I to do that… . ”




“See~ It’s no good encouraging others to do something you yourself wouldn’t do .
On that point, this time around, we do have a fellow with us who is experienced in being self-important .

“Ooh, the villagers here properly know how to make way when required . . ”
Boldly letting out her bumptious aura, Belzebub swaggered down the path of Moses .
Imitating that, Farufa also puffed up with pride and walked .

I wonder if her doing this was okay, as it was still within the range of it being cute .

While we were browsing and eating from the various stalls, we occasionally threw ourselves into the middle of a dance .

Chicken, sheep, pork, a whole bunch of skewered foods popped out at random . If it’s on a skewer, you can eat it while walking .

“Leica, which one looks to be the tastiest for you?”
“Let’s see . . The seasoned sheep meat looks good . . ”
“What, can’t you just eat them all?”

“You, I bet you’re the type to not thinking about diets and that kind of stuff . . ”
She really was a carnivore, in the literal sense .
“Won’t get fat if you’re active enough, and I’m busy all the time . ”
Regarding that, I feel like she’s able to meet me fairly often, so I wonder if she really is working?

“Eh, come to think of it, Harukara has been gone since some time ago . . ”

After looking for her restlessly, we found her sleeping on the ground, drunk .

“N~o, I, can’t drink anymore……”

“Ah~ Get up, learn to stop sleeping on the ground! “
I pulled her up, since she wasn’t going to get up herself .
“Azusa-sama, at least now I know~”

Leica was holding some sort of small bottle .
“ . . What is that?”
It seems this drink was effective against the type of intoxication Harukara had also developed . Incidentally, the other formulas tasted bitter and astringent to the point of making one’s head spin . I had prepared it in advance .

Leica poured it into Harukara’s mouth .

“This one is guaranteed to make her sober . It’s that potent . ”
Then, when approximately half the bottle was emptied into Harukara’s mouth――

“Uee! What is it, this flavor! It tastes like all of hell’s torture in a single gulp! Who was it!? Who made this kind of thing?!
“It was you! You made it!”

“Aah, the un-inebriator…… Since the taste was too much, it didn’t sell a whole lot……”

Harukara immediately regained consciousness . . Sigh . That’s good, that’s good .
Well, I guess we’ve gotten through most of the festival .
