Chapter 195: Fallen Sylvio
After parting with Torr and Asmo, I walk on the straight road to return to the mansion.
I was planning to let Torr and Asmo get a sli pillow, but today’s search took longer than I thought and so decided to put it back for now since it was getting dark.
They too, also wanted to hold a sli pillow today, but they happily went ho after I managed to convince them to get them to hold the pillow on another day with more sli pillows as an excuse.
When I enter the front door, Mina and Sara - who were just in the hallway - welcos .
「「Welco back Alfried-sama」」
「I’m back」
The two of them said the sa thing, however, their tone displayed the difference in their personality.
And moreover, I’m happy that I received words of welco like this as soon as I return ho.
Since it gives the feeling of assurance, and that it was all right for to be here.
I wonder if Torr and Asmo - who hated the thought of going ho until the end - would actually feel the sa, one way or another? While thinking that it would be nice if it were so, I place the leather bag with the sli inside on the ground and change from outside shoes into slippers.
「Eh? It’s soft? Alfried-sama, what’s inside this leather bag?」
Mina threw a simple question at while carrying my stuff.
「There’s sli insideー」
「Aah! So it’s sli! I also used to bring back slis ho when I was littleー. But each ti I did that, I will be told by my mother to throw it away 」
「 too」
「So you only take them ho once, right」
Mina and Sara started to have a nostalgic conversation sohow.
It’s like an episode where you got scolded by your mother for bringing back a stray cat or dog ho.
Well, if they got a harmless and a sowhat cute appearance, people will treat slis like that.
Though I thought that they will hate the fact that I brought slis back, it seems like that’s not happening.
I guess it’s because they are originally villagers who are familiar with animals and monsters in their daily life, huh?
「Are you going to raise a sli, Alfried-sama?」
「Could it be, did you find a way to make delicious food using sli!?」
Sara and Mina asks when I was thinking about that kind of thing.
I think that half of what Mina said is her own desire, but could you eat slis?
「Eeh? Can you eat slis?」
「I have never eaten slis before, I’ve heard that they eat them in different villages sotis」
I was surprised to hear that from Sara.
Seriously? So people eat slis sotis?
「I also haven’t eaten it yet, but it looks like it’s going to be delicious since they’re so squishy. If you eat it with sweet syrup, it’s going to look like the Kagura’s dango that Alfried-sama talked about!」
「That’s just what Mina wants to eat, isn’t it」
「Ehehe」
……I wonder if they taste like agar? What to do now, when I heard about it from Mina and tried to imagine it, it seems like it’s going to be tasty.
Sli can change its hardness depending on the heat and cold air. If I adjust the temperature using magic, I can beco soft or hard. That ans I can change the textures according to my tastes. And when I adjust it like that, looks like I would be able to make a jelly-like texture.
But the problem is the flavor and its hygiene.
I’m not sure about how clean it’s going to be, but there are a lot of monsters like Wushi and Orc at that can be eaten. Compared to that, slis will look clean but I wonder about that?
But, it appears that so villages are eating them in practice, so it doesn’t look like there’s going to be any harm to the human body.
Though they’re omnivorous we won’t know what they ate, but wouldn’t it be all right if we were to remove the mud and the food inside them?
Or we can give continue to deliberately give them food like fruits, then they might have similar tastes to the fruits. There are such thods to remove the bad sll or to make the at more tender in animal husbandry.
Slis is a monster that absorbs and digests things. It is quite possible for the taste to turn into the sa taste like the food they ate if they keep eating the sa kind of food.
In other words, after I continue to feed the sli with grapes and then cook the sli, it will turn into a grape jelly dish!?
「Alfried-sama! Alfried-sama!」
「Ahh! Uhh, what is it?」
I suddenly ca to my senses after Mina shook my shoulder.
「Are you all right? Are you tired after going out? Your eyes looked really lifeless」
「……it’s like, the ti when soone’s life gradually disappeared from their eyes」
I was only pondering about sothing for a mont but they said sothing dreadful.
But, Mina and Sara don’t appear to be making fun of . They look really worried about .
「I’m fine. I just thought about whether we could eat sli or not」
「Really?」
「I’m fine, just go back to preparing for dinner. I’m going to start working to turn sli into a pillow」
「「Into a pillow?」」
Ignoring Mina and Sara who are tilting their heads, I lifted the leather bag using Psychic and headed toward the second floor.
◆
After stuffing the slis into a strong water-resistant leather, I imdiately head for the living room to have Sylvio-niisan try it out.
「Sylvio-niisan! The sli cushion is completed!」
「Welco back Al」
When I entered the living room while carrying the sli pillow and sli cushion with , Sylvio-niisan - who was reading a book on the sofa - smiled and welcos .
「Is this the sli cushion?」
「Un, that’s right! Try using it quickly!」
「……the sli inside won’t co out, right?」
When I gave him the sli cushion, Sylvio-niisan - who holds the sli cushion - asked uneasily.
He agreed that he will try it after hearing it will be hard for you to be tired if you use it but, he’s probably really scared after feeling the actual soft sensation of the sli.
「I have already fed it with so food and the bag had been tied with a cord, so it’s going to be fine. Either way, we can just beat it if it ca out」
「That’s right, isn’t it. Sli is so small that even a kid can beat them, so it’s going to be fine」
Persuading himself by muttering that, Sylvio-niisan put the sli cushion on the sofa.
Then, after staring at it for a while, he slowly sits on top of the sli cushion.
「……ah」
Such voice spontaneously leaked out from Sylvio-niisan.
「How is it?」
「……Al, the feeling of sitting on it is very comfortable」
Sylvio-niisan answered with such a gentle expression on his face when I asked him that.
「Right?」
「Yeah! Even if I were to sit down all the ti, my bottom won’t hurt if I have this」
Sylvio-niisan reseated himself to enjoy the feel of the sli cushion.
It seems that Sylvio-niisan understands the greatness of the sli cushion. With a big difference in expression from his stiff expression from before.
「Is the sli’s firmness okay? I can make it firr a little more if I chill it with Ice magic, or I can make it softer if I warm it up with Fire magic」
「Hmーm, I think it feels fine right now? I will decide again after trying it for so ti」
「Okay」
It’s Sylvio-niisan’s first ti using the sli cushion after all. It would be best for him to use it first and then begin to understand his own preference for the cushion.
「Then, I guess I will use my own cushion」
I was so tired after walking outside all day long. So now I want to use the sli cushion to laze around.
I put another sli cushion on the sofa and slowly sat on top of it.
The sli gently receives my body weight with its elasticity.
I guess it’s thanks to the change in the sli’s shape according to my bottom that the cushion strangely fit my bottom.
I languidly sit on top of the sli while enjoying such a feeling.
After that, I decided to lie down, so I place it under my head to use it as a pillow.
The usual feather pillow is also nice and soft but, the elastic sli pillow is also great.
……I wonder what is this. It’s like lying down on top of a huge konyaku.
I guess I will cool down the pillow then. I just ca back from outside so I want sothing cool.
So I carefully chilled the sli pillow using the cold air from Ice magic.
Then, the sli inside is growing cold and starts becoming firm.
I buried my face into the sli pillow once more.
Imdiately after that, the cool and nice sensation from the pillow is passed into my cheek.
It felt like the heat from the midsumr is being blown away, and it felt comfortable to my hot body.
「Haa……it feels nice to feel the coldness」
I unintentionally muttered while relaxing my expression.
Then, perhaps Sylvio-niisan noticed what I did next to him,
「……does it feel that good when you chill it?」
「Do you also want to try it, Sylvio-niisan?」
「Un, please do」
I chilled the sli cushion presented by Sylvio-niisan with Ice magic in the sa way.
「Waa, amazing! It really beca firm!」
Sylvio-niisan yelled in surprise after poking the chilled sli cushion.
That was a kinda cute reaction that I unintentionally giggled.
「Is this cold and firm enough?」
「Un, it’s enough!」
I give the sli cushion to Sylvio-niisan, who is yelling sowhat excitedly.
Imdiately after, Sylvio-niisan lie down and started to put it under his head.
「Haa………it’s cold and feels nice」
「Making a sli into a pillow was not a bad idea, right?」
I smile and said that to Sylvio-niisan, who currently has an ecstatic expression on his face.
「Un, if it’s like this then it makes want to use this even when I sleep」
Sylvio-niisan slowly closes his eyes and before long, he began making the breathing sound of a sleeping person.
Apparently, Sylvio-niisan has fallen to the charm of sli cushion.
Even though he said that it’s a ridiculous idea to sleep while placing a sli - a monster - under your head this morning, now he’s sound asleep.
If he like the sli cushion this much, then it’s worth the effort for my hard work today.
「Fuwaaa……」
As I took a breath while looking at Sylvio-niisan’s figure, I was hit by fierce drowsiness.
It seems that the fatigue from walking around the place today has caught up to .
Following the original instinct of my body that wants to sleep, I lie down on the sofa and put a sli cushion under my head.
Then I slowly sunk into slumber.
