Suddenly, I Became a Slime Chapter 47: Rather a Reward

I am pleased to present this bonus chapter, which has been made possible thanks to the wonderful review written by zhanxian.

Please enjoy this bonus chapter as a small token of my appreciation for zhanxian’s contribution to my translation work.

“Ah.”

Han Seori, who had absentmindedly put her hand inside the sli girl, examined the sli girl’s condition as if she had just realized it.

Her face was slightly flushed, seeming too excited at the thought of finding what was presud to be the “core” of the 922-KR.

Just a mont ago, she was worried about what would happen if the cow monster didn’t die, but her change in attitude was startlingly quick.

Han Seori thought it was only natural.

‘If not… would I even be here now?’

Probably not.

Having quickly rationalized her actions, Han Seori made eye contact with the sli girl, who seed to be staring at her, and grinned awkwardly as she fumbled with her hand.

She was going to pull her hand out right away if the sli girl tried to lt it. But forget lting. She only felt a cool and soft sensation… the sli girl really did seem friendly to humans.

Just then,

She saw the sli girl making a motion as if smacking her lips.

Han Seori, who was tilting her head at the face that looked as if it was… tasting sothing, saw the traces of snacks covering her other hand and felt embarrassed.

…It seed the sli girl was… eating away the crumbs and seasoning stuck to her hand.

If it were a dog or cat, she would have to worry about their health, but there was no need for that with the sli girl, so that was a relief in that regard.

As Han Seori was stirring the inside of the soft sli girl with her hand, she grasped the orb presud to be the core of the 922-KR Labyrinth of Crete.

She wanted to pull it out in one go, but while carefully watching the sli girl’s reaction, Han Seori very carefully and slowly pulled out her hand.

*Slurp…* With a small sound, Han Seori’s hand touches the air.

Contrary to the expectation that sothing sticky would be on it, Han Seori’s hand was clean to the point of feeling fluffy.

It contrasted with her other hand covered in cookie crumbs.

‘No, I just didn’t have ti to wipe it because I was in a hurry.’

…Who am I making excuses to?

By the way, why isn’t the person I sent to bring the isolation box coming?

While Han Seori was grumbling about the person who wasn’t coming,

The sli girl, who was blankly staring at her other hand, brought her face close to Han Seori’s hand.

“Eh?”

Before she knew it, the sli girl took Han Seori’s snack-seasoned hand into her face.

…I don’t know if it’s right to say she took it in, but Han Seori’s hand was again enveloped in soft sli.

*Gloop… gloop…*

Very faint bubbles rose near the sli girl’s face.

Han Seori felt her heart flutter at the sa ti as embarrassnt at the sight of a sli girl savoring her hand.

One was because she felt embarrassed to show her unkempt side, and the other… was because she was happy that the sli girl seed to have opened up her heart.

…Perhaps she was just tired of running away and recharging her energy… but Han Seori decided to think the sli girl had opened up.

No matter what, this was the first ti the sli girl had taken such… action first.

‘…It’s a bit strange.’

She stared at the device dangling from the sli girl’s neck, then shifted her gaze to the sli girl’s face. She justified leaving her hand in by telling herself she could pull out imdiately at any sign of lting.

Then, as she was happily watching the sli girl use her foot to nudge away the two slis that had approached, Han Seori heard,

“Huff… hah, I, I brought it here.”

“…Mm, good work.”

A voice disturbing her appreciation was heard.

…It was a bit… much to call it a disturbance since she was the one who ordered it… but still.

Han Seori, who was about to throw a tantrum for no reason, received the item while generously forgiving him thanks to the sli girl’s cute and friendly appearance.

She opened the box with her hand, which had beco clean thanks to the sli girl, and put in the orb presud to be the core of the 922-KR.

‘Why did you bring such a big one?’

That grumbling was short-lived.

“Huh?”

*Click, click, click.*

A strange sound ca from the orb that went into the box, and a small structure ─presud to be a labyrinth─ began to form inside the transparent box.

At the sight that was almost like… a type of bottle ship, Han Seori blinked and took in that scene.

And it was the sa for the sli girl below her.

Soon, a small ant nest-like maze was completed, and Han Seori burst into admiration and then broke out in a cold sweat.

‘If we hadn’t tried putting it in beforehand, it could’ve been big trouble.’

If she had taken it to the research center without knowing, the research center might have turned into a maze.

Han Seori, who ticulously locked the box, sighed with a sowhat refreshed feeling and looked at the sli girl looking at the box in her hand.

‘Now that I see…’

She got smaller than when we ca in.

The sli girl’s hardship was felt in that appearance, so Han Seori felt a little touched.

Plus, she now had ammunition to loudly refute those who would say the sli girl wouldn’t really be helpful, so she was in a good mood.

Han Seori, who smiled contentedly while looking at the sli girl, placed her hand on the sli girl’s small head.

Han Seori, who pressed the jelly protruding out, patted the sli girl’s head while saying,

“Mm, good job. So…”

Han Seori, who was trying to praise the sli girl, suddenly recalled the codena attached to the sli girl.

‘“All-lting Sli”….’

Isn’t that too lifeless and unfitting?

The sli girl didn’t lt everything she touched… so wouldn’t it be better to revise it?

‘For example…’

Sothing like Sli Girl… or Jelly Girl…?

Wouldn’t such cute nas suit her better?

Well, it’s not like it’s fixed anyway, so we can gradually change it.

Han Seori, who was patting the sli girl’s head while thinking of other things, blinked her eyes at the sensation of her hand being pushed away.

Looking down, the sli girl was pushing Han Seori’s hand a little… timidly.

That behavior seed to be feeling sowhat shy, so Han Seori smiled warmly and took her hand off.

Taking her hand off, with a *boing!* sound… the agoge on the sli girl’s head sprought up.

“Ahaha… sorry, I guess it was uncomfortable.”

Since it wasn’t shown on screen, Han Seori didn’t know that the sli girl’s “knowledge pouch” had led the sli girl to the center of the labyrinth.

Anyway,

Han Seori, who handed the snacks in her pocket to the sli girl,

Thought she should give the sli girl a new na when she got back, and picked up the sli girl.

Then she handed the box to the man who was staring at the sli girl with a dumbfounded face beside her and said,

“…Stop staring and take care of the box.”

“Ah, yes.”

Well… our 7496-KR is pretty cute.

Han Seori stared at the sli girl’s twitching antennae for so reason,

…And returned to the research center with the sli slis bouncing below, along with the sli girl.

Thinking she would be busy for a while again.

I ended up taking Han Seori’s hand in my mouth without realizing it.

No, honestly, how could I resist?

My body had already shrunken from using up energy, and where else would I get to taste that familiar potato flavor in my mouth?

Even a person fasting wouldn’t be able to resist this.

I was worried Han Seori would think I was strange, but thanks to my cute appearance, she seed to feel more endearnt than anger.

…Perhaps,

She thinks of as sothing like a puppy…?

Seeing the thing dangling from my neck like a collar, I can’t help but feel that way.

…I felt a bit strange. Now that I’m not human anymore, should I be happy with this treatnt?

Anyway,

The sight of the orb I had stored in my body going into a familiar box and creating a miniature-like labyrinth… was very interesting.

It sohow felt mystical, so it really must have been a mystical thing.

Until Han Seori pulled it out, I had forgotten about it, but…

It was a bit embarrassing to be patted on the head, so I gently pushed it away, but she seed to have misunderstood… I left it alone. What’s the point of explaining when I can’t even talk anyway.

And so,

I was able to return to my room for the first ti in who knows how many days.

…Now, I naturally call it a room, but, well… if this isn’t a room, then what else would it be.

I won’t need a bath… (they won’t let take one anyway), so I wobbled into the room and threw myself on the bed.

I don’t really know what it was all about, but it seems to have been resolved well… so I can sleep a little, right?

They won’t throw into sowhere else right away, will they?

Seeing Han Seori’s satisfied face… I think I did well?

Being buried in the bed, I felt a bit thrilled thinking that.

Maybe a life that sowhat… resembles the life I wanted isn’t so bad.

The mont my consciousness was sinking into darkness,

The door opens, and the man walks in with heavy footsteps. He was holding a tray in his hand, on which a lot of food was piled up.

My darkening vision brightens and clears up.

My senses, sharpened to a point, are busy receiving information to identify the food on the tray.

Chicken… and jelly…? Why is there jelly?

But I can’t resist the chicken.

As I approached the guy, he said with a dumbfounded face,

“…You gluttonous little thing.”

Should I hit you?

I feel like I can be forgiven even if I hit you once right now.

Should I let you taste a vicious and tough jelly punch?

As I was contemplating whether to show him a jelly punch, the sound of the tray being placed on the floor made sit down obediently.

“Kuk… are you an anomaly or a puppy.”

…Ha.

I want to punch you.

By the way,

An anomaly, huh.

…?

It seems they call things like anomalies.

Well, I guess it’s not really important.

What was more urgent was the huge jelly and chicken in front of my eyes.

Wow, there’s even pork belly.

Ehehe, you greedy gourmand, control yourself!

Don’t you know there’s a limit even to simple pleasures?
