Praised by Papa for the Big Slime Discovery
I was called by Papa right away about the slimes.
“Kaito, you’ve made an incredible discovery. Ahh… for years I’ve been worrying if there wasn’t some way to deal with the smell of those toilets and the constant need to empty them. And to think it could be handled with slimes. On top of that, to be able to multiply them so easily with Ikarun miso soup, who could have thought of that? No, first of all, without your discovery of miso, and without the creation of Ikarun miso soup, we never would have realized this. This is truly an achievement only you could have accomplished, Kaito. From here on, we’ll increase the number of slimes. We won’t charge anything, we’ll spread slimes to every household.”
Ehh? Papa, that’s so generous. That’s amazing.
I ended up looking at him with admiration.
Papa, your nostrils are flaring, you know.
“Improving living conditions is a good thing.”
“Yeah, Papa, thank you. Let’s make the Marsh territory better, okay? I’ll keep doing my best from here on out!”
“Mm. I’m counting on you. Kai chair, anti-fraud measures, miso soup, garigarikuu. And now discovering that Ikarun miso soup causes slime multiplication… and waste processing with slimes. However, if people start asking who came up with all this, and they find out it all came from you, there’s a risk you could be kidnapped or used by those with bad intentions. Do you understand that?”
I get it. But I want to live comfortably. So I’ll probably keep coming up with things. Papa, don’t worry so much you go bald, okay?
“Really? But Papa and everyone will protect me, right~?”
“Ah, of course.”
Yeah… I like it when Papa pats my head with his big hand.
“Sebas, call Captain Luke.”
“Yes, understood.”
“Luke, I’m sure you’ve heard. We’ve discovered that slimes multiply with Ikarun miso soup. And that slimes will also process toilet waste. From now on, bring slimes back alive from the forest. Feed them Ikarun miso soup to increase their numbers, and we’ll spread them throughout our territory as quickly as possible. Understood?”
“Yes, understood.”
“By the way, I hear you’ve been walking bowlegged lately, Luke. What’s wrong? Chafing?”
Pffft. Bowlegged from chafing?
Nope, I’m dying~ this is too funny.
“Ahahaha! My stomach hurts from laughing too much!”
“What? I’m concerned here!”
“That’s not it, Downey-sama. That’s awful.”
“No, I just thought maybe you were… into that sort of thing too.”
“I’m not! I’m not, I swear! I don’t have that kind of hobby!”
“You don’t have to hide it. Everyone has their circumstances. You don’t need to hide it from me.”
Ahaha, Papa’s misunderstanding is hilarious.
“That’s not it! I’m just doing rope jumping that Young Master Kaito taught me!”
“Oh? Is that so? Then what exactly is this ‘rope jumping’?”
“It’s this.”
Captain Luke, why are you carrying a rope around? And now you’re even encouraging Papa to try it.
“Downey-sama, this is addictive. It’s fun. Would you like to try?”
“No… the bowlegged part is a bit…”
“It’s veeeery, veeeery fun. I can jump like this now, please watch.”
Shurushoru…
Ohh, Captain Luke’s doing double jumps. That’s amazing. But he’s still bowlegged as ever.
“Ahaha, that’s hilarious. Captain Luke, you can do double jumps now, that’s awesome!”
Huh? Papa’s going to try too?
Papa’s taller than Captain Luke, right?
And that rope… it’s the exact same one I gave him.
What do you think about this chapter?
