Chapter 94
Beelzebub came from the bathroom while drenched in water .
Beelzebub: “Let me tell you… when your pronunciation is slightly shifted, the summoning place will be shifted as well… . so please, even if it’s still a hundred steps away, at least get rid of the hot water from the bath… . I’m just stepping the same trap as last time… . ”
My bad, but such complaint will be for later .
Azusa: “Beelzebub, it’s terrible! Farufa has become a slime!”
Beelzebub’s complexion changed suddenly .
And immediately she hugged the slime-shaped Farufa .
Beelzebub: “Aah… Farufa, in such a deformed figure… . Why… who did this to you…?”
Azusa: “It was probably no one’s fault . When I woke up this morning, it suddenly happened . Is there any way for her to go back?”
The slime that looks like Farufa was wiggling while being hugged by Beelzebub . I don’t quite understand what is she trying to tell… .
Beelzebub: “Even if you said that, Farufa and Sharusha are the exception of exception beings… . I cannot think there was someone like them before, you see…”
Azusa: “Still, slimes are also monsters, so you have more jurisdiction than humans, right? Can you do something about this…?”
Sharusha is trying to be a slime researcher, but I think that she can’t suggest a solution as there was no precedent like this before . Hence, Beelzebub is my last ray of hope .
Beelzebub is (probably) thinking while burying her face in Farufa . It’s a mystery whether she can breathe or not .
Beelzebub: “Umu . Bread is from a bakery, I guess . ”
She came up with a proverb similar like 『Rice cake is from a rice cake store』 .
Beelzebub: “Let’s ask about this to the slime itself . ”
Azusa: “Ask the slime? Do you understand it……?”
I don’t think we can get any information even if we catch a few slimes in the neighborhood .
Beelzebub: “There’s a special slime, you see… Smart slime who is in Vanzeld Castle . ”
Azusa: “Hee… . As expected of a demon castle… . By the way, what is the name of the slime?”
Beelzebub: “『Smart Slime』 is the proper name as clever slimes and such are rare . ”
Azusa: “Somehow, it’s a name that doesn’t feel that smart…”
I’m anxious but there’s no choice but to go there .
●
I and Slime Farufa rode Leica’s dragon form and headed towards Vanzeld Castle .
I never thought that I have to come back here again this early… .
Again, I’m walking tortuously inside the maze-like castle . Well, I had thought that we won’t get lost with this, however, Beelzebub’s expression became clouded along the way .
Beelzebub: “Eh…? Was there such a way on the third basement floor…?”
Azusa: “You got lost as well, huh…”
Beelzebub: “Even I will get lost if I’m not used to the path that I don’t use for work… . But it’s okay . It’s easy to go back as I have dropped some breadcrumbs along the way . ”
However, Farufa was walking while taking in the breadcrumbs which was on the floor one by one .
Azusa: “Hey! Farufa! It’s bad if you eat something that’s on the ground! Since when your manners turn this bad?”
Leica: “Azusa-sama, let’s calm down! This is not the time to be talking about manners!”
Certainly it is . Getting lost is more of a problem .
Moreover, even though it’s only the third basement floor, the road is already quite dark and the corridor that seems to be usable for test of courage continues even further .
Beelzebub: “Don’t worry . Even if we got lost, we are still inside the castle . Hence, we could somehow do something about this . ”
Leica: “That is indeed true . Ah, there’s a map on the wall . ”
Leica found something good . With this, we can get to our goal properly .
Beelzebub: “Aah, that map is a bluff to throw the intruders into confusion . Hence, it’s a lot different from the actual path . ”
Azusa: “Don’t put out dungeon-like things here!”
I wonder if Farufa is tired as she jumped onto me .
Azusa: “What? Do you want a piggyback ride?”
I understood that Farufa was moving her body up and down . Perhaps, I can think that she’s nodding .
Beelzebub: “Change with me If your shoulders got tired from the piggyback . If it’s for Farufa, I will carry her for hours . ”
Beelzebub also said something quite reliable .
Farufa is also moving her body, so she’s probably delighted .
Beelzebub: “『Smart Slime』 seeks a quiet environment and is said to be in the lowest room of the castle . We should be able to reach it if we go down . ”
Azusa: “I see, there should be no monster encounter around here, so let’s hurry and go steadily . ”
Hence, we continue capturing the dungeon again .
ーTwo hours later .
For some reason, we came to the surface .
Beelzebub: “Ahh! Geez! I thought we could go down but there were only stairs leading upwards! What a confusing castle!”
Beelzebub snapped at her own workplace .
That’s right . This castle had to take the trouble of going down and up again to go upstairs . They came up with a strange idea of not wanting to naively go only up and down .
Azusa: “As expected, the demons are also confused by this structure, I see…”
It was probably designed based on the time when the enemies were attacking, but when you get lost, it becomes quite frustrating .
Beelzebub: “Damn it… . I can’t even get to the person who can give us hints… . Perhaps, I made a mistake from the very first staircase…”
Then, a child with an elegant atmosphere slowly came over .
???: “Ara ara, everyone, what are you looking for?”
It’s the demon king, Pecola .
Pecola: “I’m deeply moved that I could see onee-sama again . Please give me a greeting kiss on the cheek . ”
Don’t you dare come here only to ask nothing but a kiss .
I explained the circumstances to her .
Azusa: “ーーーThat’s why, I want you to tell me where the 『Smart Slime』 is . If you tell me… . let’s see… I can kiss on your cheek . ”
I tried to put out a bargaining point .
Pecola: “Then, can you pay me in advance?”
She’s very confident for a demon king, indeed .
Azusa: “Well, it’s not going to diminish so… oh well…”
I kissed her cheek lightly .
Somehow, I could feel that Leica is making a jealous face, but it’s just my misunderstanding, right?
