On that day, after arranging various kinds of cooking onto a large platter, I listened to the various stories of my two daughters.
Although I say daughters, there are far more things that I donât know. For the sake of understanding the two of them better, I must listen.
First off, where they lived.
âCabin in the woods. Because I was born in the forest with Nee-san, we lived in an unused cabin.â
âAfter that when we left for the nearby town, the orphanage director  gave me money, with that I collected clothes, shoes, etc.~â
âIt seems like I had the power to make a living as an adventurer, so because of that I earned money.â
âOne Month Ten Thousand Gold Life~!â
Though they were modest, it seems like they have been living a proper life.
Next, slimes spirits, what were they in the end.
âI can actually extend my hair like a tentacle. My hair is green because of my slime like composition.â
âFarufaâs hair is blue, and Nee-sanâs hair is green because of the spirits~â
âOther than that, there are no special features. However because we are spirits, is seems that we do not have a lifespan.â
âI see. You both are like this ~.â
I understood almost all of the twoâs disposition.
Although status and the like is still unknown, it is faster to use the guildâs slate, though I donât particularly expect my daughters to be strong in that respect. I say that, but I was talking about their registration as an adventurer.
âNee, what sort of jobs did you do when you were an adventure?â
âEvil Slime Extermination I think~.â
What, is that.
âYou see~, even slimes fall into two categories: good slimes and evil slimes~.â
So such categorization of good and evil exists for slimes as well.
âAfter defeating evil slimes, I sold one for 200 gold.â
Same lifestyle as me!
âI donât kill the good slimes, of course.â
Is that so, like mother like daughter.
(TL: Should read footnote in order to understand the next line.)Â [1]
No, these children, because they were made from slimes, there is no way for them and me to be connected by blood.
I think I understand the bare minimum with this. I guess I will find out the rest as I go along.
âNow then, there are several rules in this house. Both of you, honor them!â
âYe-s!â
Instead of speaking out, Sharusha nodded her head in agreement.
âFirst, do your assigned chores properly. Things like cleaning or gardening.â
âYe-s!â
As expected, Sharusha only nodded her head in agreement once more.
Also, addressing Sharusha alone without honorifics is weird, and from now on Farufa as a daughter will be addressed without honorifics.
âI will decide the chores chart later. Also âŠâŠâŠâŠ anything else?â
I never had a daughter, so Iâm not confident I covered everything.
âThatâs right, since you didnât go to school at all, shall we have some sort of education?â
âNee-san sneaked into the townâs scholarâs house, there she read things like mathematical theses. After that she got along with the scholar.â
âSharushaâs strong point is history, theology and geometry I guess~.â
Turns out, this side is less educatedâŠâŠ
âAh, thatâs right, near here is a village called Furata Village, tomorrow, Iâll show you around. Because itâs the place Iâm indebted to, the two of you, behave yourselves.â
This time both nodded their heads in agreement.
I walked to Furata Village with Leica and my two daughters.
Since only I could use levitation, it became necessary to walk. Even so, I wanted to teach them the path to the village.
On the way, the slimes blocked the way again, so we drove them off.
I can easily beat them at this level but.
âMama, you can kill the slimes. Farufa didnât care about it from the start, it seems like Nee-san is okay with it too.â
âUnâŠâŠâŠâŠ Kaa-san.â
Since I gained permission, I moderately killed slimes and gathered magic stones.
Rather, my household has became four people, it became necessary to gather more magic stones than what I have so far to earn a living.
âThese slimes are evil.â
âYeah, Farufa thought so too! To finish off the evil slimes and purify the worldâ!â
While saying those words, the two were killing slimes.
âYou knowâŠ.. evil or not, can you tell? How can you differentiateâŠâŠâ
Sharusha entered the tall grass and caught one slime and brought it back.
Did you notice it hiding there? It seems her ability to capture slimes is master level.
âWell, the basics are that slimes in the Nanterre province are darker in color. But even still, theyâre rather pale.â
âNo, this is the first time hearing about such basics.â
âThe ones that have a lighter color had their heart tainted by evil, so itâs better to exterminate them.â
âI-is that soâŠâŠ that is rather informativeâŠâŠâ
âThe slime has an âacupunctureâ weak point dayo~. If you poke there, the slime will die immediately.â
Farufa lightly poked the slime that Sharusha was holding,
âThis slime is dead~!â
The slime suddenly vanished.
âNe?â
Somehow, because they were former slimes, I feel that they have no mercy for slimes.
While having such an exchange, we arrived at Furata Village.
Todayâs objective is to introduce my two daughters.
By the way, I am planning to convey that they are slime spirits. The two of them, more or less, also hold special powers and I thought it was better to let them know in advance.
But, then again the story is becoming more confusing. (TL: Leicaâs story then this.)
First of all, when we passed by the greengrocer at the village entrance.
âAh, Mama, there are various fruits over there~!â
Farufa said in full of spirits.
The shop ownerâs wife heard that voice.
âEeh! Witch-sama, you had a child! And in addition to thatâŠâŠ itâs twins!â
Aah, itâs that sort of reaction.
âEeh, both of them are my daughters. Itâs just, they were born in a special way.â
I told her that these two were spirits.
Like how spirits and witches were different, so are spirits to normal humans. Telling her that way in advance, itâs expected for the two of them to have an easy life thanks to it.
Reducing the amount of things that can be misunderstood.
Footnote:
1. TL: VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE NEXT LINE. The phrase used here èĄăŻäșăăȘă means âlike father like son,â (Ed: changed to like mother like daughter.) however, the literal meaning of the words mean âto not oppose oneâs bloodâ (as in your family nature based through blood).
