Chapter 83

I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years – Chapter 83

Reunited with the Family

At that moment, the door opened .

“Boy was I so scared, master… They were just about to put me into a water chamber to torture me…”

Harukara popped in .

But at that moment I was just about to give Pecola a kiss…

Because of that, the kiss was interrupted, but Harukara clearly witnessed the attempt .

“Eh… Master and the demon lord are togeth… E, Eh, Ehhhh!”

Harukara was obviously panicking .

“Calm down Harukara! No seriously, calm down!”

“Master was the type that ends up liking girls!? I see now… I… I’ll support you . ”

“I don’t need that support!”

“But if that’s the case, then why didn’t you approach me when I even live in the same house as you? Am I lacking that much in charm…? I’m getting this strange sense of defeat…”

“You didn’t lose in anything at all! There’s no need to consider that strange sense you’re getting!”

As I was trying to straighten things out, Pecola was looking pissed . More than I’ve ever before witnessed, her face was clearly red with anger .

“To have stepped all over my precious time with onee-sama, how could you have such little delicacy! This I can never forgive! I’ll have you executed!”

Ehhhhh!

“Just  when I thought I was free, I’m back to getting executed-!? Give me a break! I’ll do anything, so please forgive me!”

In the depths of despair, Harukara was on the verge of tears .

“Execution is no good! Forgive her! You can right? right!?”

“Onee-sama, please don’t stop me! That person just crushed one of my dreams!”

“Stop I said! You absolutely need to stop!”

Hrmm… Just what can I do to get her out her bad mood…

“Then should we try the kiss again?”

“The atmosphere’s all ruined now, so no… A kiss between an onee-sama and her little sister is a ritual to strengthen their bonds… It’s not just the simple act of pressing lips…”

She was awfully particular about this .

In the end I was able to avoid having to give her a kiss .

Afterwards I somehow managed to calm Pecola down and got her to forgive Harukara .

———-

After that, I was able to safely reunite with my family .

Upon seeing Harukara’s return, Farufa came flying towards her . Behind Farufa were Sharusha and Leica who both let out a sigh of relief .

“Seriously, that was such a close call . Harukara-san, please live your life with more care . ”

“I’ve made you worry haven’t I Leica-san… I’m sorry…”

Harukara seemed to be seriously reflecting this time .

“But all’s well that ends well . Welcome back . You should sit back and relax for the rest of the day . ”

Leica’s expression softened . It’s not just her, we were all really worried about Harukara .

“Thank you so much . Just a bit longer and they would’ve tossed me into a water chamber to force a confession out of me…”

It’s a system where punishment begins before the trial’s verdict huh… That was pretty close .

“By the way, where’s Rosary? I don’t see her anywhere . ”

Rosary’s face popped out from the wall next to me .

“Ah, sorry, I was inside the wall!”

“Wah! Don’t surprise me like that!

That really startled me . To the point it made me jump and step on Harukara’s foot .

“I see, since I was inside a wall, everyone couldn’t see me . I was here celebrating with everyone too…”

It’s like one of those one-way mirrors…

But this time we really were all gathered together .

Suddenly I thought of something I wanted to try with my two daughters .

“Hey Sharusha, could you come over . ”

I beckoned for Sharusha who was closer to me .

“Sharusha, come over here if you could . ”

Pitter patter, she came by with a bit of a trot .

I held her up in my arms then gave her a kiss on the cheek .

“Ah, a kiss…”

After I put her down, she stood there dumbfounded for a while . ”

“From now on, I’ll be giving you two kisses…… It’s okay if I do right? I did it just now before asking though . ”

Inspired by Pecola, I decided that as a mother I should be giving my daughters kisses .

Compared to a normal mother child relationship, the one I had with my daughters was vague at best, so I felt that doing this to validate our relationship was extra important .

“…… I don’t hate it at all . ”

Maybe what I did to her embarrassed her, as Sharusha’s face turned a bit red .

“Mama! Farufa too! Farufa too!”

Pyon pyon Farufa was hopping up and down . Of course I’ll give her a kiss . I’ve made it my policy to treat the two girls equally . I can’t pour more love in one over the other just because their personalities are different . The two were both children that I bore from slaying all of those slimes after all .

I picked Farufa up in my arms when she jumped towards me . Then I gave her a kiss .

The two were slime spirits, but their cheeks weren’t actually bouncy like a slime’s — No actually, they were super pliable . Is it because of their youth? Or is it actually because they’re slimes?

“Yaay! Mama gave me a kiss!”

Farufa received it with pure joy and not a hint of embarrassment . That’s right, parents and children don’t need to feel shy in front of each other .

“Mama, Farufa will give you a kiss too!”

“Sure, that’s fine, but could you hold up a bit?”

I’d like to respect their wishes, and equally if possible .

“Sharusha, do you want to give mama a kiss too?”

“Yeah,” Sharusha said as she nodded .

“Then the two of you can give a me a kiss from both sides . ”

The two of them matched their timing and both gave me a kiss on the cheek simultaneously .

I’ve just gotten a kiss from my two daughters . Does a so-called mother like me really deserve to have such a riajuu-like[1] time? The answer is obviously no . But I worked really hard today, so I can at least have this much right?
TL Note

“Okay, thanks you two . ”

“I think Farufa loves mama even more now!”

“Love isn’t something you can express with quantifiers like more or less . ”

That exchange illustrated the two’s differences .

I have to thank demon lord Pecola for planting in me this idea of kisses .

“Kisses between parent and child are also nice aren’t they . ”

It was a voice that I heard just a while ago .

When I turned around, I saw the door opened and Pecola entering .

[1]  riajuu (リア充) is a net slang portmanteau of riaru (リアル) for “real or reality” and juujitsu (充実) meaning “fulfilled with” . As the components of the words imply, it’s a phrase used towards people that are living a fulfilling ideal life, usually someone who has a significant other and/or a happy loving family . The phrase is typically used in an envious manner by those who have neither .
