Slime Tensei. Taikensha ga Youjo Elf ni Dakishimeraretemasu Chapter 5

Orphe and Nikola collected the research results in the magic arts laboratory.

It depends, but it cannot be destroyed with half-baked firepower.
If it’s this room, then Orphe can use her conceptual incineration magic art. (TLN: 概念型 help.)

「Orphe-nee, this is almost all of it」
「This is all of the normal research results, isn’t it」

What she meant by normal are the ones that have been decided to be made public in the future and my daughters’ individual research.

The problem is the inventions which can destroy the power balance between nations.

「Nikola, it’s your first time going into the sealed area, isn’t it?」

「It’s the place where the inventions which can change the world are, after all. It’s at the level where if even one of them leaks out, the country who possesses it would be able to unify the world」

That’s right. Although I obtained fame as the Great Sage, I divided clearly the things that can be shown on the surface and those that can’t.

These absolutely cannot be handed over to fatty upstart…… Yobuku.
Passing through a hidden entrance, Orphe and Nikola headed to the basement.

Orphe’s fear and trembling is transmitted to my slime body.

We then finally arrived at the sealed area.

To be frank, I don’t think Yobuku and the others can undo this.
If they irresponsibly decide to unlock it, the result will be the room getting blown up.

「Orphe-nee, we can achieve our objective if we purposely fail in releasing the seal」

「Mn. I overlooked that」

The both of them decided to divide their roles and open the door.

The physical unlcoking and decrypting will be left to the Enlight of 【Alchemy】. The dwarf Nikola.

I admire them a little.

When they have grown until they can open the door, it’ll be okay to teach them the dark side techniques.
Both of them are engrossed in challenging the trial. They seem like they’re somehow enjoying it. The girls solve the questions I made one by one.

After an hour, a dull sound was given off as the five doors were opened.

Both of them overcame the trial. The two of them did not realise that with this, they have obtained the qualifications of the Enlight of 【Magic Arts】 and 【Alchemy】.

That room is a white room.

Grimoires filled with spells. Inventions like guns which are still concepts and haven’t made an entrance, and their evolved forms. Iron birds which can dance freely in the skies without the use of magic arts. A bomb which can decimate a whole army with only one explosion. Medicine for incurable illnesses and feared infectious diseases, and conversely, viruses which deliberately causes it, cursed swords which surpasses even divine swords. The real things and design specifications are crowded and lined up.

Both of them started investigating the room innocently.

「Otou-san’s way more amazing than I thought」

「Today’s the last day we’ll have examples, let’s properly learn what Tou-san left us with」
「Mn. Let’s start immediately」

The two people with talent greedily studied.

Just after they obtained the general idea, they immediately moved on to the next one. The geniuses’ way of thinking, just by getting the general idea, they’ll struggle onto the end product by themselves.
Without even a wink of sleep, they continued until the morning.

「Orphe-nee, it’s almost time. That guy will come here」
「……It’s vexing, but we’re out of time. Let’s proceed to the magic laboratory」

They finished transporting the taboo inventions. In doing so, Nikola activated the golems she made.

Orphe made a lonely look before putting me down, and clapped her cheeks.

Probably sad at burning the inheritance I had left, her eyes became moist.
Don’t worry, it’s okay for you not to cry. I will be with you.

「Pyuiー」

It is finally my turn.

Of course, it’s not like I 【Absorbed】 them. I merely put them into my stomach. Not 【Absorb】, but 【Storage】, that’s why it only takes a moment.

Phew, this slime body’s really convenient.

「Ah, Sla-chan ate it」
「That’s surprising, won’t those kind of things ruin its belly?」

Orphe became flustered, stopped her magic art and rushed over to me.

Orphe lifted me up and peered into my transparent slime body.

「Sla-chan, are you alright?」
「Pyui!」

I returned an energetic reply.
As I did that, Orphe started laughing.

「Ahahahahahaha, mankind’s wisdom, the taboo inventions, even they are quickly eaten up, aren’t they. It feels a little lonely」
「Mn. No matter what kind of inventions, it’s the same once it enters the stomach. Even the pigs who laid out schemes and try to to steal these things, even us who tried to desperately protect them, it might be laughable from the slime’s point-of-view」

Huh, somehow, Orphe and Nikola are strangely saying profound things as if they’ve gained enlightenment.
Let’s tease them a little.

「Pyui」

I took out the magic book that Orphe last read, and seemed like she wanted to continue reading.

I handed that to Orphe.

「Pyui!」

「Pyuipyui」
「Umm, if that’s the case, put this away, and take out the magic book regarding the creation of undeads and management of souls which Tou-san wrote, the Necronomicon」

I accepted the magic book which I just handed her, and took out a different magic book.
Orphe’s face shone enthusiastically.

「Amazing, Sla-chan!! With this, we can secretly bring them out. Nobody would think that they are in Sla-chan’s tummy」

Hoisting me above her head, Orphe spun round and round.
Nikola looked at that with an envious look.

「Hey, Sla. Can you perhaps take out the nuclear bomb design specifications I was reading?」
「Pyui」

I quickly took out the requested good.
Nikola opened her eyes widely.

「Orphe-nee, perhaps, there isn’t a limit to the things Sla can put inside its stomach, and on top of that, it can take it out whenever it wants. In other words, not only the things he just ate, but he can probably also take out the research data that should be taken out in the shadows, or our own research data, or personal belongings」

「Pyui! (Come at me!)」
「「Sla (chan), amazing」」

My two daughters hugged me at the same time.
Aah, this is bliss. Otou-san will work hard.

「Let’s hurry, we don’t have much time. Let’s let Sla-chan eat everything from A to Z」

「Un, that’s a good idea. To those people, the things we find worthless would probably look amazing enough」

They both nodded at each other.
Both of their expressions aren’t sad like before. They’re full of hope.

「「Packing, start!!」」

After that, I was dragged around by my two daughters, and stored every single research data and results, and while we were at it, even their personal belongings to their hearts’ content.
By the way, I can read the things that are in my stomach.

I didn’t read all of my daughters’ research, but with their unique way of thinking and techniques, they studied on a field which I do not know.

I never thought that the time when I learn from my kids would ever come.

I crammed various things into my stomach, but the only thing I desperately rejected was underclothes.

All of those are jammed into a suitcase.

And then, the preparations have somehow been finished noisily. Just in time before fatty upstart, a.k.a. Yobuku’s troupe appeared.

Orphe and Nikola left the entranceway carrying only their suitcases.

「……What’s with those strangely bright faces. I had thought that they would surely weep the night out」

This fatty upstart definitely planned on enjoying harassing Orphe.
Fool, as long as I am here, there is no way I would let that happen.

「Have you decided? Become my lover, or get out of the mansion」
「I have decided. I will leave this mansion」

Orphe declared that without hesitation.
Yobuku was bewildered by the unexpected response.

「Do you not feel anything, having your father’s research snatched from you? It’s okay for you to assist me, you know」

Although his real intentions is to make her his lover, he also wants to make Orphe, the person who brought out the number two results within the academic conference, his assistant, and snatch the fruits of her labours. Moreover, without Orphe’s abilities, it would be impossible to obtain any progress even if my research is handed over to him, so he wants to use Orphe, that’s probably his true intentions.

「Yes, I will hand it over to you. Do as you please」
「I understand, you’re hiding all of the research data in that bag, aren’t you! Knights, check her luggage」

With that order, Orphe and Nikola’s suitcases were opened.
Inside it is a robe for changing clothes, along with travelling expenses, portable food, a few potions, and tools.

「……No research data’s inside it, huh. I’ll give you one more chance. Are you really sure? You’ll be able to live in luxury if you stay in this mansion, you know」

「Let’s go, Orphe-nee」

Orphe and Nikola both passed by Yobuku.

Yobuku looked at their retreating figure with a dumbfounded expression.
“Yobuku probably got bitten by a bug or something, he’s scratching his red swollen nape”. Fufufu, punishment complete. I will absolutely not forgive vermin who make my daughters cry.

Both of them started talking after the knights aren’t visible anymore.

「Orphe-nee, the research results are fine, but it’s sad that we’ll lose the mansion packed with memories」

「We talked about this yesterday, but we will definitely get it back」
「Of course. For that, we will have to gather money, won’t we」

Yesterday, while they were packing their things, both of them had a talk together.

If that’s the case, he will offer it for sale.

For that, they will leave on a trip and earn money.

「Nikola, let’s go to the east for now」

「I’ve heard that Tou-san’s hometown is over there. Furthremore, the condition is good, so it would be easy to earn money」

「……Please don’t go overboard. If Nikola felt like it, you could make matchless alchemy, can’t you」 (TLN: 比喩抜きの錬金 …? help?)

Alchemy is magic art which changes other metals to gold. If such a thing is done, it’s probable that a panic that the market price for gold will crumble would happen.

「I know. I will follow Tou-san’s teachings」

Like that, the elf, the dwarf, and the slime started their journey.

Along with a father who is just a bit overprotective.

「Pyui!」
「What’s wrong, Sla-chan?」

I accidentally let out a cry in good spirits.
There are two reasons for my good spirits.

First, just as we passed by each other, I fired a needle which was processed from the Fat Rat’s bone (TLN: ….??????) which was 【Stored】, like a blowpipe.

However, it’s tip is inserted with one of my taboo inventions.

I made this when I was a youth for harrassing nobles who have the intention on leaving their blood behind as their main objective.
With this, he will never again lay his filthy eyes upon Orphe. This is called the Castration Potion. It is most effective against bastards like him.

And then, there’s another thing.

Among them, one of them shines out, 【Pyroxene of Evolution】. It can raise monster’s power to the utmost limits, and forcefully stimulate evolution.

I only have three of these treasures. These will be used for lending a hand when my daughters try and try, but still cannot do anything.

「Sla-chan, you’re happy coming outside, aren’t you. I’m also looking forward a little to our journey from now on」
「Pyui♪」

Two people and one animal’s journey.

Today as well, the great sage is hugged by his adopted elf daughter.
