Shikuro Dungeonâs Association, the Chairmanâs Office.
I visited Cell who was facing directly at me.
Cell stood up and stared at my head as he muttered.
âA âŚSlime?â (Cell)
âYes, itâs a unique Slime monster.â (Ryouta)
I nodded and explained the situation to Cell.
âThe monsters around me are more likely to be unique monstersâââthatâs what you told me before.â (Ryouta)
âThatâs right. Itâs indisputable that Satou-samaâs presence is stronger than men, radiating a strong influence on monsters.â (Cell)
âBecause of the request to have monsters in Carbon at night, I succeeded in putting a monster that copied the existence of Carbon itself inside her room. That got me thinking, so I tried copying it. And after doing that a lot of times, I created a unique monster in no time. â (Ryouta)
Cell nodded so far to my explanation as he folded his arms.
âI see, it makes sense. Satou-sama is amazing after all. Even to the point of intentionally creating unique monsters. I have never heard or even tried such a thing.â (Cell)
âIs that so?â (Ryouta)
âSome of the people who âkeepâ rogue monsters as pets wish for it. They want it as if itâs their own cute child.â (Cell)
âI see, I can kind of understand their intentions.â (Ryouta)
Some rogue monsters become familiar with humans, and with proper procedures, they can be kept in the same way as pets.
In that case, there will naturally be people who want their own child to be unique and different from the others.
âBut most of the time it didnât happen, however Satou-sama changed that entirely just by having a motive.â (Cell)
âOnly with the help of Carbon.â (Ryouta)
âIt was definitely Satou-sama who came up with it.â (Cell)
âKiki âŞâ
The unique monster slime cried out in a good mood while sitting on my head.
It was completely fond of me. Since it was right after it turned into a unique monster, I didnât worry about bringing it along with me.
Itâs a cute slime from the beginning, so it became even cuter after turning into a unique monster, and Iâm also quite fond of it.
If you look at this figure, 10 out of 10 people will judge that it is harmless.
As expected, Cell also squinted slightly and looked at the slime with a smile.
âThatâs why I want to get permission to keep this child.â (Ryouta)
âLetâs publish immediatelyâ (Cell)
âSorry for the trouble.â (Ryouta)
âNo, permission to keep a rogue monster is a matter of the ownerâs creditworthiness. There is no person in this city who would reject Satou-sama from keeping one.â (Ryouta)
Am I really that trusted?
Iâm grateful for that, though itâs some serious responsibility.
âWait for a while, Iâll get permission.â (Cell)
âThanks.â (Ryouta)
Cell nodded and stood up.
At the moment, something fell from his bosom with a noise on the floor.
I thought it was a statue of me again âŚâŚ.
âWhy is it a statue of me and Carbon!â (Ryouta)
âThis is different! Itâs different!â (Cell)
Cell picked up in a hurry and put it back in his pocket.
âItâs not like a memorial of Satou-samaâs first collaboration or something!â (Cell)
âAre you sure you didnât do this on purpose by dropping it on the ground and then explaining it to me!!?â (Ryouta)
I retorted greatly.
And then, sigh.
As always, this Cell works fast.
Or rather, I didnât need an explanation.
âJeezâ (Ryouta)
âIâm sorry ⌠but still, itâs a little disappointing.â (Cell)
The topic changed while Cell stood up and cleared his throat.
âSorry?â (Ryouta)
âSince it was your first time collaborating, I would have liked it to be Satou-samaâs woman instead of a slime.â (Cell)
âNow wait a minute, what do you mean by that âŚâ (Ryouta)
âIâm sure the spirit must have intended that.â (Cell)
âNo, itâs not like we knew what was going to happen.â (Ryouta)
âThat is the biggest obstacle, the biggest test!â (Cell)
âHow much do you know!â (Ryouta)
The voice came rushing in.
I can already hear Carbon agreeing to it.
âBut really, itâs a shame.â (Cell)
âJeezâŚâŚâ (Ryouta)
â⌠Kikiâ
The unique monster slime jumped from my head to Cellâs.
âMmm!â (Cell)
Cell tried to avoid it but couldnât.
The statue in his bosom falls to the floor again.
The unique monster slime swallowed itââ-or more like digested it.
After a whileââ-a change occurred.
The slime body swelled up ignoring the law of conservation of mass, and became a kindergarten child or an elementary school student of about 6 years old.
It was small, but it looked just like carbon.
âCan it transform into a human figure?â (Ryouta)
âNo, this is ⌠a spirit, Carbonâs daughter âŚâ (Cell)
âWhat?â (Ryouta)
It surprised me.
Immediately after, the slime, which looked like a miniature version of Carbon jumped at me and hugged me.
It was a gesture suitable for calling it âbeloved daughterâ
