The Man Picked Up By The Gods
/ The Man Picked up by the Gods Volume 1 Chapter 16
“It’s the Cleaner Slime’s deodorization liquid. It’s not harmful to your body and will thin out the bad smell.”
“Ugu! …… bleeeeargh …”
As I tried to say goodbye, Asagi-san suddenly threw up.
“Sorry… when you opened the door I prepared myself for the stench, but nothing came. So I thought it wasn’t anything special and slid the towel a bit… my bad. The Dragonewt’s nose is on the same level as the Beastmen’s, you see.”
Ah, so it was something like that, yesterday I was also like that at first.
“Well it can’t be helped. Even I, who is a human, found it so unbearable that it even went to my eyes. If I didn’t have my slimes I wouldn’t have been able to endure it either. I’ll leave the deodorization liquid here so please use it freely. Well then, I’ll be off now.”
As I said that I went inside. Just like the latrine pit yesterday, the situation here is also pretty bad.
Before I started cleaning I thought to use Identify first on the virus. At that, this came out:
Idake Virus (Alt. Hugging Virus): Reproduces on excrement and is the virus responsible for the Idake disease. Once infected, the Idake disease will break out within 10 hours.
Prognostic symptoms: either the limbs or the whole body will remain paralyzed.
Weakness: Heat and dryness
So there really was a dangerous virus!

“The job here is already over so please confirm that I’m clean and then we’ll go straight to the next one.”
“Didn’t you need to take a whole day for a pit?”
Eh? Ah! Oh yeah, I remember they got the info about me needing one day to clean one pit. So I guess they thought I would take the whole day for one just like yesterday.
“Actually after I finished the job yesterday the Scavenger Slimes began to show signs of splitting, so I had them split and contracted them while inside the latrine pits. Because of that I took more time than I should have. In actuality I only really need 5 hours to clean one pit, but since the number of the slimes had already doubled, that time’s become even shorter.”
“Ahh, I know. It’s a big slime, right?”
“Wow, seriously?”
“Since the slimes didn’t seem to have been researched all that much, the number of people who know about this include only me and those that I have taught. Since I’ve always researched slimes I talked like something like this was common sense, my apologies.”
“1464”
“You have that many?”
“I see… if that’s the case then I can understand how you’re able to do it so fast”
After my explanation we went to the next latrine pit, cleaned up, and then repeated the same for the rest of the pits.
3 Days Later
~Side Ryouma~
This one’s the last. I haven’t slept a wink in these three days.
Right after I finish one pit, I would go out and find that the lookout’s been changed. Seeing them, we’d chat for a bit and then I'd immediately start to work on the next one without getting any rest.
There was one time that I was surprised though. After finishing my work, when I came out I saw Sebasu-san waiting for me. Since he knew that I had a tendency to forget to eat when I’m focused on something, he brought a light meal for me to eat. I actually did forget about it, so I was really grateful.
Of course the other 9 lookouts also supported me.
The schedule went like this, from afternoon to evening, Jeff-san, Miya-san, and Asagi-san. Then from evening to morning, Wereanna-san, Mizeria-san, Syria-san. And then from morning to afternoon the ones in charge are, Gordon-san, Jell-kun, and Raypin-san. They were all good people.
The Scavenger Slimes split again and its numbers ended up at 3033. I had them fuse at 1011 each, and with 3 King Scavenger Slimes side by sides, with the combination of Enlarge and Overeating, they were able to easily clean the walls and the ceiling. Their skill levels also increased. Their current status are:

“Yes, it’s done.”
“I thought you’d end up taking a rest half way through but you actually really did do it in one go.”
“Well that’s true. Oh yeah, Raypin-san please check that Ryouma is clean.”
“Thank you very much. Then, shall we go?”
“Yes, I’ve cleaned all the 30 latrine pits of the community toilet. It’s safe now.”
“What?”
“Idake Disease? ……….. no. Well, I was never really that informed about things like that. In any case, what about it?”
“Yes, we have already successfully dealt with it.”
“That’s true. In that case, please excuse me”
As I said that, I went back to the lodging. As for the other three, it seems they did their own things to pass the time.
“Welcome home! Ryouma-san!” - Elia
“Welcome home” – Rheinhart
“Welcome home, Ryouma-sama” – Sebasu-san
“Have you had your meal?” – maid
“No……my body is fine, I just remembered something from the past……!”
Family……that’s right…… it’s similar, the feelings this people give…………………back then, without being able to do well in my work, day after day I would be exhausted, I would look for work, and without finding, I’d be depressed…………during times like that, there was always one person that would welcome me home……it was my mother……
“Ryouma-san!? What’s wrong!?”
When Elia said that, I noticed something. I’m crying. Without knowing it, tears have already started to come out from my eyes.
“Ahh……sorry, I’m alright. I just remembered my family for a bit. Being surrounded by everyone like this……even though you don’t resemble each other at all……”
My mother is half Chinese and Japanese. Although she wasn’t bad looking, there were times when she didn’t really look all that great. She was ok. But, to actually be reminded of her by these beautiful people, their faces are so different, and yet…
As I was thinking of stupid things like that, all of the sudden the Madam hugged me. Elia embraced my arms, and Rheinhart-san put his hand on my shoulder. I felt Rheinbach-sama pat me on the head, and I noticed Sebasu-san and the two maids were looking at me warmly.
After that they took care of me, fed me, prepared the bath for me, and afterwards tuck me to sleep. Yes, just like this, I fell sound asleep and retired for the day.
