Otaku’s note: Daidalian’s have been using polite tone towards Alberto.
“bi
giiii
.”
It seems all that first cla.s.s  water has given Baum his former vigor.
*purupuru*. It’s jiggling even more than before, isn’t it lovable?
“Bigi bigi bigi bibibibibigiii.”
*burun burun* Baum body’s moved left and right. It feels like he’s kinda too fired up, but I guess that’s a lot better than before.
It’s originally dark body had now become transparent all the way through
“I’m glad for you.” I said as I patted Baum’s head. It was a bit cold, but it’s *Punipuni*, like soft tofu. Felt good.
“Bigi.” Baum caught my feet. Is it trying to thank me?
“Haha, don’t mind it.”
Wait, what? somehow I’m being healed.
Is this Slime therapy?
After playing with Baum for a while, Daedalian came back from dismantling the wyvern.
“Albert-san, I’ve finished dismantling the wyvern~”
“Ou, Thanks for your work, I’ve re-hydrated Baum~”
“Thank you very much, umm, by the way Baum
wha-what in world is this?!”
Daedalian’s line of sight was focused on Baum, who had grown to ten times the volume of the average slime. (Otaku: Slime Demon Lord? Rimuru??)(Pr: I laughed way too much at that)
“Oi oi! That’s not how you call a friend.”
“You’re right, Sorry
eh,  that’s not it, why did he become this big?!”
A typical slime’s volume is roughly 1 cubic meter, but currently, Baum was around 10 cubic meters.
A slime’s size is expressed using volume and density because, with all their shape shifting, judging them by their height as you would other creatures, like humans for instance, can not give accurate data. (ED: This is a tad different from the raw as the raw made no logical sense.)
“Aah,” I began to answer him. “When I used 『Tidal Wave』on it as a present, it became like this; you don’t have to worry it will stabilize and revert to it’s original size in a bit.”
“I
I see, no, it’s fine if you got him healthy again, but. Un?
oh okay, I get it, It’s fine if you’re pleased with it.” It seemed Daedalian received a telepathic message from Baum.
He seemed pleased, but I felt a bit left out. It was lonely as the both of them spoke telepathically.
After about 10 minutes, Baum was back to his normal size.
“Are you okay, now? Then Baum, please remove the poison.”
“BigiăƒŒâ€
Receiving Instruction from Daedalian, the slime started to envelope the gutted wyvern’s body.
“Ooh

”
It was a very fantastic sight. Baum en
veloped the wyvern.
It gives me a sense of motherhood. Though, I did not have a mother, but maybe it feels like this.
The blue colored Baum gradually turned purple.Removing the poison took over 30 minutes, Baum softly moved away from the wyvern ‘s carca.s.s 

*Pupe* And then it separated the red water from it’s body. His body then returned to its original blue. Perhaps that red water was the poison. I thought to myself.
“Although removing the poison was a success, didn’t this happen too quickly?”
“Hmm? Well, usually it takes no less than two hours 
 oh, it’s because he is in good condition.”
It seems like Baumu have told him that
“Anyway, it’s really convenient, telepathy that is. I want to learn that~”
“Well, thanks to this, we can live in harmony with other demons
but Albert, you can use magic 
 so it’s good for you, isn’t it?”
“Well it is, but
”
Demons have an inherent ability as part of their special characteristics, like telepathy and so on. Telepathy is a power found in only particular races, though.
Races without power needed to coexist with other races in order to survive.
These abilities probably evolved over time as a means for them to protect themselves.
The reverse goes for races with more powerful abilities, for instance, using powerful magics capable of ma.s.s destruction; but these races would lack the use of highly convenient spells like Telepathy.
The inherent abilities they get are mostly offensive ones.
“Thanks for all the help.”
“No, I have to also thank you for helping me.”
Though the help was under the condition that I help Baum, Daedalian did a good job.
Anyway, somehow I finally manage to have a decent meal.
“Well then
.if that’s the case.”
He gave off the feeling that he was done here.
Daedalian motioned to Baum next to him, while he threw his baggage over his shoulder.
Saying thank you, he turned away and tried to leave.
“Hmm?”
What’s with this flow
 are we not going to eat together?
“Wait a minute,  you’re not going to eat?”
Daedalian looked at me with a face full of surprise.
“Eh?　you
you’re OK with that?”
“How much spare food do you even have?”
“There aren’t any on my hands right now but
 If I were to travel west for half a day I would find some edible plants.”
“Which means you don’t have any on you right now? Then you can eat with me. There’s so much after all, It’s just lonely having to eat alone.”
“Well, wyvern ‘s flesh is amazingly luxurious, but is it really okay? I only helped with the dismantling, so it’s like I’m taking advantage of your kindness 
”
“If I say it’s fine, then it’s fine, go and have some.  It would be a different thing if you’re in a hurry though.”
“but-”
“Thanks to you I did not eat poison; is that not a good reason to provide you with food?”
“Albert-san
I’m sorry, I’ll take your word for it. Itadakimasu”
“Well then let’s eat? Itadakimasu!”
“Eh?, You’re going to eat it just like that?”
“Is that
no good?”
Just when I was going to eat, I was stopped.
You still intending to delay my meal again? b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
Don’t tell me, we can only eat it with special type of food or it’s no good?
“I didn’t say it’s no good. but, it’s raw wyvern meat, it’s a lot more delicious if you fry it.”
“I
I see, But, I can’t use fire magic you know?”
“It’s fine-desu, because I’ll be making the fire. I picked up fire guard stones on the way, I thought they might be useful.”
Fire magic stone. It’s a magic stone that creates small fires, as the description suggest, the firepower is low but it’s highly convenient.
It became very useful when travelling.
What an excellent child
you really can do it, Goblin boy!
He also thought of poison detection, and even prepared the meat properly. My survival skills are truly lacking in comparison
.
I’m also fairly sure I remember no information that can aid me on this trip.
Daedalian gathered twigs and dried leaves and ignited them with a fire stone.
The sound of a crackling fire grew loud, and smoke rose to the sky, one that had became dark and filled with stars.
“I feel bad leaving it all to you, I’ll at least take care of the grill.”
I have to help a little.
I cut the wyvern flesh into appropriate chunks so that we could cook it more quickly.
It is uncomfortable not to do something.
To think there were still some remnants of my time as an alchemist’s’ apprentice..The way he’s doing it kinda seems delicious.
“No, I can not eat this much wyvern
.”
“Wha-, What is it now?”
Again? Please don’t scare me so much, It’s been surprises ever since I met this guy.
Thanks to that, I’ll getting scared by even the littlest of things.
“A-Are you okay?”
Daidalian’s gaze wasn’t directed at the wyvern’s meat, but at my hand which was being cooked due to grabbing the heating meat directly
“
”
“
”
Aah
I see, as I expected, I’m not doing it right.
Since I went through so much trouble picking up sticks, I decided skewers would be nice.
I think I’m going too far with my stupidity
To grab Wyvern ‘s meat directly with my hand, are you an idiot? (Pr: Maybe there’s still hope?)
My hand wasn’t burned because I have fire resistance, but there was still a lot of fat smeared all over it (Pr: Forget what I said)
“I’m really sorry but
 can I just leave the rest to you?”
It wouldn’t be funny if I intruded again and failed, I had to know my own limit.
“Yes, you can just leave everything to me.” Daedalian said wearily.
It’s like he want to say ‘please don’t do any unnecessary things’.
Everyone has the things they’re apt at.
I still have time to wait till the meat’s cooked, so I guess I’ll play with Baum while waiting.
