Chapter 60: Chapter 60

After our break ended, we resumed training… Or at least that’s what I thought would happen, but apparently, we were done for the day .

“The both of you have already learned Share Senses, so you can just practice it in your spare time from now on . For now, Ryoumkun, why don’t you listen to Elia’s music . You might think I’m just a doting father, but I do believe her skills in music are truly something to be admired . ” [Reinhart]

“Music? Why all oft he sudden?” [Ryouma]

What’s going on?

“We talked about the rimel bird before, right?” [Elize]

“Yes . You mentioned it’s one of the reasons you came to town . ” [Ryouma]

“That’s right . Rimel birds can fly fast and use wind magic . That’s why it’s hard to catch one without hurting it . You can’t seem them normally either . But rimel birds are still monsters, so you can still form a contract with them!” [Elia]

I see, so since it’s possible, she’d like to try taming one, huh .

So, what does that have to do with the music?

“Does music have something to do with that?” [Ryouma]

“Bingo . Music is indispensable if you want to form a contract with a rimel bird . ” [Elia]

Really? I thought to myself, but then Sebasu came and explained .

“Rimel bird possess a great amount of mana and are also intelligent . Because of that a normal contract will fail with them . However, rimel birds use their their beautiful cries to discern friends and to communicate . So, if you can play a tune for them that they like, then it will become possible to form a contract with them . ” [Sebasu]

As expected of another world, they have a catching method that goes beyond common sense! Who would’ve thought I’d have to play a tune to be recognized as a friend…

“You can form a contract like that? I didn’t know that . ” [Ryouma]

“The odds of success are really low, so there are people who think it’s just something someone made up . Unfortunately, I’ve never heard of anyone taming a rimel bird other than with this method . As such, when it comes to rimel birds, it has the highest of chance of success . ” [Sebasu]

“And that’s why Elia is going to show off her playing . Today is just practice though . ” [Reinhart]

“Ryoumsan, please stay there and listen . If you don’t want to listen and fall asleep instead, that’s okay too . [1] But you can’t go home . ” [Elia]

Huh? It’s okay not to listen, but I’m not allowed to go home?

Confused, I glanced at Sebasu-san and the others, and that was when I finally noticed it . They were smiling while looking at me .

………Ah, could it be!

“You finally noticed?” [Reinbach]

“Ryoumkun, you’re always working too hard, so we figured we should help you take a break for once . ” [Reinhart]

“After subjugating some monsters, you built a store, then you hired some new employees, then you took some jobs at the adventurers guild, and now, you’re making some waterproof cloths . I hear you haven’t been getting much rest lately, too .

And just yesterday, some hoodlums came to your store, so you’re probably going to get busy again . So, before that, we figured we’d use today’s training as a pretext to distance you from work . ” [Reinhart]

“Ryoumsama, this is something everyone agreed on after hearing about your workload . ” [Sebasu]

“And just when did word of that get around?” [Ryouma]

I never noticed at all .

“We’ll be watching over you today, so you’re definitely not working even a little bit . ” [Elia]

“This kind of resting probably won’t help your mind rest, but without any rest at all, there’s a chance your body might break . If you still intend to work without regard for yourself after this, we’ll take you back home with us even if we have to do so by force . ” [Reinbach]

“Sorry for worrying everyone . ” [Ryouma]

“Even if your current workload is alright with you, a normal person would surely break down if they kept that up . It’s also possible you just can’t tell that you’re working too hard, so you need to be careful . ” [Reinhart]

“And so, Ryoumsan, today is a compulsory rest day . I will be starting my performance then . Please do enjoy t . ” [Elia]

The ojousama sure is unusually pushy today… Or was she always pushy? …Nah, I’m sure this is just her naivete .

While I was thinking that, the ojousama received a violin from Sebasu-san and started playing .

This world has violins too, huh . Maybe an otherworlder brought it .

I listened to the music while thinking of useless stuff . The ojousama is actually quite good .

She played a calm tune, so I was able to relax .

When the music ended, she asked me for my thoughts .

“Ryoumsan, how was it?” [Elia]

“You played beautifully . ” [Ryouma]

I’m not just flattering her . I played some guitar myself back in my previous world, but I don’t think I played that well . I don’t know that much about music, but I felt good while listening to her playing, so I’m sure it’s good .

Although my words didn’t overly praise the ojousama, she was still elated .

After that she started playing again .

I listened to Elia play the violin while I petted the amiable Ruog and my slimes . I passed the time in leisure like this .

While listening to Elia’s music, the time for the slimes to feed came, so I started giving the 3 slimes my mana .

“Oh!” [Ryouma]

Then, suddenly, one of them showed signs of change .

“It’s here!” [Ryouma]

“What is it!?” [Elia]

“Ryoumkun, what is it all of the sudden?” [Reinhart]

“What came?” [Reinbach]

When I exclaimed like that, the ojousama stopped playing, and the others approached me .

“My slime is evolving!” [Ryouma]

[1] People falling asleep when someone *cough* sings for them? PUFFFFF! (○`з´○)

Volume 2 Chapter 60 part2

All eyes gathered on the slimes I was petting . Just like when the iron slime evolved, the slimes started shaking, then suddenly stopped, and then they started releasing and absorbing mana .

At the same time, their color started to change .

Everyone’s eyes were glued to the slimes’ evolution .

The slimes’ color changed to a tawny hue .

When their evolution ended, I used monster identify on them .

Earth magic! The experiment is a success!!

“Ryoumsan, what did it evolve into?” [Elia]

“It’s an earth slime . A slime that can use earth magic!” [Ryouma]

“Wow! That’s another rare slime!” [Reinbach]

“Ryoumkun, earth slimes are fairly rare . Just how did you manage to evolve them?” [Reinhart]

I explained to them the method I used, but when the ojousama and madam tried it out…

“It’s not working…?” [Elia]

“This is surprisingly difficult…” [Elize]

Normally, after you convert your neutral mana to another element, you invoke a spell or just revert it back to neutral element .

Apparently, maintaining the converted mana requires a high level of mana control . Although I only had to take my time a little when releasing non-neutral mana, my magic control is currently level 4, a result of me constantly playing around with magic . In the end, the two had no choice but to accept that it currently wasn’t possible for them .

Frustrated, the ojousama stopped playing the violin and started training her magic, but she still couldn’t succeed . In the end, she told me that she would strive to acquire the magic control skill next time . She did so while looking competitively toward the slimes that evolved .

Anyway, with this, I got two earth slimes and one dark slime .

Although I was a bit surprised with the slimes, I’m almost out of mana, so I decided to just leisurely enjoy the atmosphere .

” ……… Ah, a horn rabbit [1] . ” [Ryouma]

When Elia started playing her violin again, I sat back with my slimes and just quietly enjoyed myself, but when I let my crew bird fly, I noticed a herd of rabbits .

Meat… Should I get some as thanks to the people in the store .

When I told the others that I would go out for a bit to hunt, Reinhart-san, the ojousama, and the others offered to help, so I was able to get a lot of spoils .

I got my bow and arrow and hunted several animals while driving them toward Reinhart-san’s group and the sticky slimes . After that, all that was left was to retrieve the spoils .

…As expected, hunting with a group makes the whole thing so much easier . The workload is completely different compared to when I’m hunting alone .

As I thought that to myself, I went back to where ojousama and the others were, then I brought my crew bird back into its bird cage and cancelled the contract .

The madam said, “You can take it with you, if you want . ” But I politely declined her .

Having the crew bird’s eyes isn’t that big of a deal for me, and even if it does become necessary, I can just catch one on my own .

“Well then… Shall we go back?” [Reinbach]

…Before I knew it, a lot of time has already passed .

It was best to get back before it got dark, so we rode the carriage back . We weren’t going fast, though, so there weren’t much swaying inside and the ride back was really pleasant .

But then again maybe I’m just feeling the aftereffects of the atmosphere this afternoon? Alternatively, it’s also possible that I’m a lot more exhausted than I thought .

Like that I dozed off . And when we got back to the inn, I just returned to my room and slept .

[1] – I remember someone saying horned rabbit sounds better, and I agree, but the raws are literally horn rabbit . As in it’s written in katakana . I don’t mind taking liberties to make things sound better, but this one is basically in English already, so I’ll just leave it as is . Thanks for the suggestion, though .
