________________________________________________

As we went down another level after everyone leveled up, I asked the kids to give the Pure Slime a name. She will be our new companion and definitely going to follow us for a long time, so of course I want a name for it.

After a result of some strict examinations, a name was finally decided.

Best regards,Maurice

When I called out to the slime, it jumped happily and crawled up my head. Oh, arent you a mischievous one. But could you stop sucking my magic while you on top of my head. Ill give you a lot later, ok.

Seriously, I cant believe that the next contract after me is actually with a Slime

La Veil was a little bit of a pain right now. Well, she definitely didnt expect that the next being to be in the same position as her would be a Slime after all. Sorry La Veil, you do know that I can count on you more than tens of thousands of times right, so why are you upset now about this?

Now then, it should be time to get back on the main topic. The power level of kids and Cielo seems to be doing well for now. Mika is also currently standing in as their escort right now since she wont be able to raise her level unless we go on the deeper floors. The monsters would only change after the 10th level, only their levels going up. The monsters we have encountered so far are only 5 types, and they are: Blade Beetles, Goblins, Yellow Apes and Pure Slimes. Well, if theres too much variation of monster species then it would make a chaotic mess out of the ecosystem.

Also, we sometimes encountered adventurers as we moved from place to place, and even though everyone was under a lot of stress, they would leave us alone, laughing as they distanced themselves.

Well, even if they try to get involved, it would still be easy to rough them up

Either way, they probably have no time to do so. Its not like its not already dangerous inside the dungeon after all.

Thats right, if they quarrel with other groups and end up incapacitated, theres a high chance that everything would collapse. Of course almost everyone wants to avoid such risks. No matter how much of a bad person they are.

And then, while we were talking about that, a little problem came from somewhere else.

Help us!!

Several adventurers who suddenly came into sight were running towards us. Analyzing them with fairy magic, their levels were around 30-40. The average levels of those on the 7th floor should be around 20 25 so it shouldnt have been a problem for them, however everyone was in a tattered state. Nevertheless, its still another matter if I would help them or not.

Dont move, Ill help everyone

Eh, ah, ugh!?

When they were close enough, I summoned halos restraining their hands and feet and after the sudden bind, the adventurers all fell down to the ground, face first. Sorry about that but Im just being cautious since I dont know what might happen. This also serves as a warning.

They are coming, master. Its also a good number

La Veil, can you handle them for me because I will have to put barriers on the children?

Leave it to me

We finally encountered a new monster. Moreover, their numbers are around 20.

Fire Beast Magic

Magic that can be used by beast type monsters. It can use magic that matches the characteristics of the monster.

It was a large flock of monkeys with bodies covered in flames. They are skillfully using their tails to jump from tree to tree, though what Im more curious about is the big flame at the tip of their tale. As for their size, they were not really that big, but their status and levels are not something you would normally find in this area. I dont really have time to do this but Ill just ask for a bit.

So, why were you people trying to escape here?

Well answer everything, please just let us go!! We will all die if we dont run away!!?

Ah, yeah. Dont worry about that, Ill ask again after things settle down. La Veil, take care of it

Umu, understood

The monkeys finally came within La Veils range. The nearest monkey started its assault by throwing a flaming ball towards La Veil. It looks like their tail also serves as a magical conductor.

Hooh, are you underestimating me

With a swing of her halberd, La Veil returned the ball of flame with tremendous momentum.

Kikiiii!?1

Unable to react to the speed of the returned fireball, the Flare Monkeys head exploded, dying instantly. Enraged by the loss of one of them, the other Flare Monkeys assaulted La Veil, wanting to tear her up with their claws embedded with magic,

These monkeys didnt understand how useless this is. Bad luck encountering me, now all of you will die

Each time the halberd was swung a red light was created, which incinerated any monkeys hit, killing many of them in a single blow. All of the monkeys were wiped in just a short amount of time by her flame dance. Because they all jumped at her, that probably made it easier for La Veil to eradicate all of them. She returned to me with a cheerful look. Though a bit of dissatisfaction was written on her face.

Oh, youre done. Now then, shall we continue our conversation?2

I turned my sight on the adventurers again and asked, but as expected everyone was stunned so they couldnt respond. I know how they feel, but dont they understand the situation they are in? When I began tapping my feet, they finally regained their sanity.

So, sorry

Its fine, so can you explain yourselves?

A, yeah

When I asked them why they ended up in our location, they didnt give me a clear answer. To simplify, they said that they went to a level that wasnt fit for them and that they unknowingly camped in a location close to a flare monkey nest. As a result, they ended up chased by the group and fled all day long until they reached this level and finally found our group.

So, are you telling me that you didnt purposely drop them on us?

That, thats right, your group was just in the direction of our escape, thats why we were telling you to escapegyiii!?

They were lying so I stabbed my sword near one of their feet.

Ill ask you again. One more time, but I am also warning you to be careful of what you say. This time I might actually hit you for real, you know. So, whats the real reason?

Are you really ok with that Master? To let them free

Well, nothing really happened this time so its fine. Still, there sure are a lot of adventurers here with really rotten roots

Seriously I almost vomited after hearing their reasons, but I still released them without really doing anything. Arena consoled me saying You did great! which made me feel a bit better. Well if I left them restrained here, they would have died for sure and I didnt really want to kill them. It might have been a nave decision, but I dont want to suddenly kill people in front of Arena.

There were a lot of other people around us, and because they saw a lot of stray baggers working with us, so they thought that they could just leave the monsters to us and run away. If I was still a human, I definitely would just leave them alone to die. But I am also thankful that I am a fairy right now.

Aidle. That was really amazing

Fairies are mostly like that

Cielo and fairies like all humans and beastmen by instinct. Thats why I would have felt even more disgusted if I killed people. In the first place, I dont really have the drive to kill a person, thats why I let them go. They also witnessed the power of La Veil, so I dont think that they will ever try that again with us. And they would also spread it to others when they go outside.

Alright, lets camp out here for today. Everyone, regroup after cleaning up the defeated monsters. Lets go dismantling

Ha~i!

We got a lot of flare monkeys today so it should be a good time to take a break. Every demon was collected. Not really that many though. Well, it should be enough for practice, I guess. After confirming that everyone has a monster body to handle, the children gathered around the most experienced children in dismantling.

Now then, what is your name?

Um, its Ryata desu

Yosh, from now on, Ill assign you as their teacher. Can you guide us in disassembling?

Ryata was surprised by what Ive said. Well, sorry about that. Were not really that proficient in dismantling either. Thats why we would also like to learn the proper way to do it.

Shall we start then, teacher?

Please teach us

I, I got it, alright. Then, we shall start with Yellow Apes

Even though hesitant at first, after hearing the requests of Cielo and the children, Ryata consented quietly.

And then, according to Ryatas instructions, we dismantled monsters one by one and at least two children would cooperate to process one. Some pairs were about to cry after failing, but Arena encouraged them to continue until they finally managed to complete it. When one of the little girls finally finished the last one, La Veil immediately prepared a huge pot.

We will be making stew out of the monster meat hunted and gathered by everyone today. Lets all eat together

We did it!!

The children lined up in front of the pot showing that they had a lot of fun. Ashia was glancing over here, but also properly lined up with the others. It will disappear without you knowing it, you know?

La Veil-san is good cook isnt shehow envious

Cielo is not good at cooking. The meat ended up turning into charcoal the other day

Dont worry Cielo, Ill teach all about it, fight!

Uuh, thank you for the consideration

As expected, Cielo kind of resembled me in my previous life, so I felt sympathy with her. Ill teach you just like how Testania-san taught me so dont worry about it.

More like La Veil has too many good points. When we started our journey, she would only bake things and eat it, but after eating Aguera-sans dishes, she started cooking on her own.

Because it was delicious, I would always leave our meals to her, but I wonder if its fine. Well, the person in question seems to be satisfied with her work. La Veil hated humans, but slowly she was also able to accept them, and that hatred completely disappears if its for children

The children were eating with tears in their eyes saying So good as they stuffed food in their mouth. Looking at the scene, I also noticed that La Veil was happily swinging her tail.

Thank you for your delicious meal today

Mou, you dont have to praise it that much, it was only a hobby of mine. Please look forward to the next ones!!

Of course well do. Right, Arena?

I love La Veils dishes!

Yup, if I was a man, I would definitely want to marry her. Both of them.

When everyone finally finished their meals, I handed out something to everyone.

Aidle-san, what are these?

Ashia, this is a board game called Othello. Well, it would be a good thing to exercise everyones brain before going to bed. Its easy to understand, so why dont we try it?

Wha, why do you have something like this?

Ah, Mika who was an otherworlder was the first one to react. Now that I think about it, dont I have any way to escape explainingah no, there is another way.

Well, its something that was popular in my hometown. It seems like heroes also used to come to this world even from a thousand years ago, and I think it might have already been forgotten in most countries

HmmmAfter all, there were also others that were similar to us

Well, that should do it, I thinkI would like to hide the fact that Im a reincarnated person for now. Though I dont really need to do it.

Alright, Arena can show how its played to everyone. Because you only need to flip aligning sandwiched rows, everyone immediately remembered the rules and started to play, enjoying the game. And of course, I lost

Be sure to finish and go to sleep after a few rounds, okay?

Ha~i

I created a water barrier while everyone was concentrating. This would keep us safe during the night. After putting up a tent, everyone entered. The space inside is expanded, so there is plenty of room. I have already used it a number of times today, so I feel a little headache, but I should be fine tomorrow.3

Arena, shall we turn back into a fairy?

Un

And so, me and Arena returned to being fairies while putting a dummy in my sleeping bag. I then called out to Maurice and the two of us immediately dived on the slime.

Thats right, this is what I have always wanted to do.

Ooohthis is so good

So good

Uwah, that looks really good

That looks really comfortable

The contract was definitely worth it. The slime that wrapped around me and Arena with quite the exquisite softness served as our bed. With this, I will definitely be able to sleep soundly. We are currently sleeping between Mika and La Veil so that the children wont be able to see us.

A lot of annoying things happened today, but this evens everything out. Anyway, good night
