New chapter of Let’s Create a Dungeon is out! (1/4 chapters)
Chapter 46
Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
Having been tired from going out far for the first time, I was relieved at my dungeon home, the quality of the bed in the cheap inn and the bedroom was vastly different. Thanks to various factors, I was able to sleep soundly and greet a comfortable morning.
Certainly, if most of the beds in the outside world were that hard like a board, I could understand Alice’s attachment to the sofa in the private room. I have no intention of yielding, though.
While having breakfast, I searched for Alice, but she was not in the private room, kitchen, or bath. She had probably already gone out for training. I had wanted to hear her opinion on the Lizardman’s task, though.
Today’s plan is, assuming that all subordinates already know about the task, to ask Kai and Shiba about the progress. After that, go to Alice, who is training, to hear her opinion on the Lizardman’s task and decide on the task. Then, explain the respective development matters to the Goblins and Arachnids.
Yes, it’s perfect. It can be finished in the morning.
Thinking that, when I opened the door from the throne room to the first layer, there were—
Two Big Slimes.
“Maou-sama, we came to receive a name.” (Vi)
“Can we receive a name?” (Big Slime)
I had completely forgotten. Naming is the greatest challenge, isn’t it?
One of them is the chieftain, Vi. The other is probably the Big Slime that I have to name now. By the way, not all Slimes are the same. No, appearance and shape might not matter since they are slime. For example, color. Some are as transparent as water, some are as murky as muddy water, and some are as if moss is growing, appearing cloudy in various ways. There are also differences in viscosity. Some have a dome-like tautness, some are almost dissolved like a puddle, and though they seem to be able to change freely, their default viscosity depends on their preference.
Vi, for instance, has a bluish tint, but its transparency is such that the other side can be seen through it, and it seems to prioritize stickiness over tautness. The one brought here this time is blood-red. Furthermore, it has a high elasticity with taut viscosity. Color is mostly influenced by daily diet, and seeing it this red, I can only think it likes blood. With that high elasticity, it’s probably killing and dissolving small animals frequently. It gives the impression of being quite ferocious.
I had wished for something unique, but I didn’t expect something like this to come.
“I understand. But before that, what kind of self do you want to become from now on? Do you have any goals you are aiming for?” (Nobunaga)
Preferably, something easy to understand, simple, and easy to associate with a name… impossible, huh?
“Um, I want to have faster feet.” (Big Slime)
…Legs? Huh, where are they? Some kind of metaphor?
“Ahaha—” (Vi)
Vi let out a laugh, as if understanding the meaning.
I don’t get it, though.
“Vi, can you explain what it means?” (Nobunaga)
“Umm, this one steals flowers from the Archenes’ place and eats them.” (Vi)
“Chieftain—” (Big Slime)
…Hmm? Uh, does that mean wanting to become faster is so that it can steal flowers from the Arachnids and eat them? “Faster feet” isn’t a metaphor but meant literally?
“Maou-sama, red flowers have taste.” (Big Slime)
Could it be that this one is red because of those flowers? Now that I think about it, Ran had asked about pigmentation before, and were those flowers an ingredient?
“You know, you must not steal things from other species.” (Nobunaga)
Now that I know it’s not bloodthirsty, it’s not scary.
With the feeling of pulling a child’s cheek, I stretch its taut slime.
“Uuh, I’m sorry.” (Big Slime)
It’s good that it apologizes obediently, but that’s not the point right now.
Only the liquid part I pulled stretches, making it look like horns—no, since they are drooping, they look like ears. Like rabbit ears.
…It has been decided.
“From now on, you will be called Seki.” (Nobunaga)
“Eh?” (Seki)
It probably didn’t expect to be named right after being scolded, as it raised a voice of surprise and confusion.
Yeah, I also didn’t expect to come up with a name in this way.
“Are you dissatisfied?” (Nobunaga)
“N-no! Seki, thank you very much!” (Seki)
Seki was bouncing happily.
Mm, that’s something only Seki with elasticity can do.
However, since the naming, which I thought was a great challenge, ended so easily, today is off to a good start. The other tasks might end easily too.
