98 Irvines Wailing (1/2)

”... Slurin?

Early morning on the second day after leaving Coriat Village.

I was sleeping comfortably on a carriage with a slime pillow, but raised the eyelids with Irvine's voice.

”What's the Irvine?”

I wake up and call out to Irvine while rubbing my eyelids.

I'm not particularly noble and I'm not a woman, so when I go to bed I'm with my bastard. The slime pillow may be strange, two more than one.

Well, slime is as weak as a baby, and it is tightly tied, so just in case.

”Hey, it's a lie? I'll answer Sularin! I didn't know how well I was doing so long ago!”

Irvine hits her own pillow with her pillow while talking in a sad voice.

Surarin would have had a certain elasticity until yesterday. But now there is no remnant of that resilience, and when Irvine touches it, it just sounds like water.

Did you remember the lively form of slalin like last night, Irvine closed his eyes and hugged a slalin pillow?

”...... Irvine”

I realized the current situation.

”... It's getting so cold ...”

”... Irvine”

”... I was working so well a while ago.”

”Did you forget to feed Sularin?”

“…………”

According to my word, Irvine's movement stopped perfectly.

Slime will die if you do not feed for about two days. Once dead, the slime loses its elasticity and turns into a slippery liquid.

As a slime pillow where elasticity is the key, it is by no means acceptable.

So, in order to keep the elasticity, absorb the grass around and keep it alive.

This way, the slime is desperate to absorb nutrients, which can hinder movement.

Two birds with one stone. I think that this feeling of trying to exploit everything without waste is very human.

”... You said you dreamed of becoming a slime king, right?”

Irvine continues as if I had no words.

The slime will not talk.

”Don't die until you're a slime king! Someday, you'll follow a lot of kins and build a slime-only place ...!”

Irvine continues her farce while leaking her sob. The acting ability is inevitable for an adventurer.

Irvine was crying as if she was mourning her friend's death.

”It's annoying! Some people are still sleeping, so be quiet!”

”I'm sorry!”

I apologized for the voice that was completely different from my usual Aleucia.

If you think, it's early morning. Some people are still sleeping. It's not time to scream if you make a mistake.

Irvine lays the liquid slime pillow on the floor and falls asleep as if nothing had happened.

Will I sleep again?

◆

Then we were moving to kicker, experimenting with slime pillows.

Further selection of materials for the pillow, how should the slime not protrude if sewn? We talked with Trie about how to make slime management easier.

A recent discovery is that the slime may be magically cooled or warmed to change its elasticity.

I thought how comfortable it would be to cool this fresh slime pillow and lay it on my head.

When the slime was cooled with ice magic, the elasticity became a little harder and it felt like it was sticking to firm skin.

Is it like a memory foam pillow?
