Slimes Eat Anything. Even That in the Toilet.
“Hey, we’ve got way too many now, so could you throw some away? Let’s dump them in the toilet.”
“In the toilet? May I ask your reasoning?”
Ah, right, the reasoning. Vice-Captain Hans, yeah, that’s gonna bother you, huh.
“Slimes are omnivorous, right? They eat anything, yeah? So I was thinking, if we put them in the toilet, maybe they’ll eat that too… and if they do, then we wouldn’t have to do the waste collection every time anymore. What do you think?”
“Ha! Brilliant, Young Master Kaito. Indeed… yes, that makes perfect sense.”
Marle, aren’t you way too into this?
“That’s true… why didn’t we realize this until now?”
What, what? Why’s everyone staring at me?
Those sparkly eyes, what’s with that?
“Then, we’ll start by throwing two into the toilet.”
“Vice-Captain Hans, I’m coming too.”
Why the surprised face?
“No, it’s the toilet. I can’t possibly take you to such a place, Young Master.”
Ahh, that’s what you mean?
“It’s fine. I use the toilet too, you know. More importantly, I wanna see what happens if we put slimes in there. Don’t say no, I’m going.
Hey, Marle, take me with you too.”
“Understood, Young Master Kaito. Let’s all go to the toilet together.”
Everyone… going to the toilet together.
That’s basically a group bathroom trip.
“If Marle says so, then… shall we go?”
And so, we headed to the toilet with two slimes that couldn’t multiply anymore.
“Awright, go ahead, just doss dem in alweady.”
I couldn’t speak properly because I was pinching my nose.
“Yes, I’ll put them in.”
Plop.
Ahh~ they’re eating. Yep, they’re eating.
Is it tasty? No idea, but they’re chowing down energetically, so I guess it is.
Alright, those two didn’t multiply. So yeah, they only reproduce once.
“““““Whoa, they’re eating!”””””
Look at them, all speaking in unison, eyes sparkling.
Yeah, I get it, that is visibly decreasing.
Huh? They suddenly stopped eating. Wait… are they full?
“Hey, can you bring eight more of the slimes that already multiplied once?”
I asked one of the knights who had been guarding the kitchen and followed us to the toilet. He brought them over, and we dumped those slimes in too.
Plop, plop, sploosh sploosh.
Alright, mealtime, everyone. Eat up.
“Ohhh, they’re eating, they’re eating.”
“Whoa, they’re about to finish it all.”
“You’re right… is it just me, or is the smell going away too?”
“Ohh~ yeah, the smell’s gone.”
Wait, seriously? No smell already?
“Wow, it’s actually clean now. Doesn’t that mean the experiment’s a success?”
“As expected of you, Young Master.”
“Whoa, this is an incredible discovery.”
“We must report this to Master immediately.”
Sebas, you were here?
“Huh? When did you get here, Sebas?”
“Ah, I heard you were conducting an experiment in the kitchen, so I came at that time. You didn’t notice?”
Really? Huh. I didn’t notice him at all. Is Sebas actually a ninja or something?
By the way, was it the Shadows who told him about the experiment?
“I see… I didn’t notice at all.”
“Is that so? In any case, Young Master Kaito, I will report this matter to Master. Is that alright?”
“Ah, yeah. Please do. If this improves the toilet situation, we should spread it around. Oh right, let’s keep the fact that Ikarun miso soup makes slimes multiply a lot a secret within our house, and sell slimes cheaply. That way, toilets get cleaner, the smell disappears… the whole town gets cleaner!”
“Yes, wonderful. That’s an excellent idea. I’m truly impressed. I will report this to Master at once.”
Man, everyone’s got such good expressions now. Were they all thinking about how to deal with the toilet problem?
Maybe… just maybe, I made the territory a little better again.
