I’ve accidentally contracted another familiar.

[8] Anyway, my new contract familiar is a Baby Slime and I’ve named her Sui. [1] I refuse to hear any comments about my lack of awareness.

That was three days ago and Sui’s current status was:

[ Name ] Sui

[ Age ] 6 Days

[ Race ] Baby Slime

[ Level ] 8

[ Stamina ] 24

[ Magic Powers ] 21

[ Attack Powers ] 18

[ Defense Powers ] 20

[ Agility ] 21

[ Skill ] —–

[8] That’s right, my Baby Slime went from Level 1 to Level 8 in just three days!

I think that’s all due to the otherworld trash I’d been feeding her [5]. I mean, using things from the other world, such as sleeping on the futon, did nothing to increase magic or stamina. Fer’s energy increased by a lot when he ate otherworld food, so, maybe eating otherworld trash could also boost someone’s status?

Speaking of which, all of Sui’s stats boosts were permanent. [5] Whether it’s because she was too weak or otherworld trash has permanent level increasing effects, I’m not too sure.

Well, I guess that’s going to be difficult to test unless I get another Slime and don’t feed it trash? It’s not like I could eat plastic containers or bottles myself. [5]

Anyway, it’s not a bad thing if Sui levels up quickly.

Even if she doesn’t level up, [9] she’s already a big help to me. I mean, she eats all the random trash I have! And she cleans dishes too!

She did this by digesting the food and grease stuck on the plates, cutleries and pots and pans. It really saved me a lot of water. [2] I had been using [Net Super] dishwashing liquid to clean my plates, but the water I gathered runs out quickly. I mean, it’s fine when we’re next to a river, but it gets kind of troublesome otherwise.

However, thanks to Sui, I no longer have to waste water or buy dishwashing liquid! [5]

Right now I’m sitting on Fer’s back as we travelled across the forest. Sui’s tucked inside the cloth bag that was given to me for free back at the clothing store in Reijseger. I had quite forgotten about this shoulder bag until now. Sui fits nicely in it and it’s the safest way to transport my Baby Slime while travelling on High Speed Fer.

She seemed to like it too, which is a bonus. [5]

Speaking of which, “Fer, it looks like the sun is about to set. Why don’t we make camp soon?”

Fer’s running speed slowed down, “Meat is good.”

“Yes, yes,”

[8] That evening, we had a dinner of meat (for Fer), vegetables (I can’t even look at animal proteins anymore) and otherworld trash (Sui).

After dinner, we settled down to rest.

Perhaps having vegetables only made me a little peckish, because I suddenly started craving sweets. [1] So, I opened up [Net Super] and scrolled through their dessert sections. [5]

I scrolled on idly until something caught my eye, “Hmm, that Dorayaki looks good,”

“What looks good,” Fer’s face pushed up next to mine and said, “I’ll never forgive you if you eat delicious things by yourself.” There was an underlying threat in his voice.

“Yes, yes, I know,” I was about to ask if Fenrirs could eat sweets but stopped myself in time. [1] Instead, I scrolled through [Net Super] and increased my number of purchases. Sui bounced up and vibrated excitedly next to me. “Hey there, I guess you want some too?”

Let’s see, I’ll get one for me, one for Sui and five for Fer. That should be good enough. [1] Oh, and a packet of teabag green tea. Japanese sweets tasted best when paired with Japanese tea.

Once the Dorayakis arrived, I placed five on Fer’s plate, one on Sui’s and set them out for them.

Then, I started some hot water for tea.

[8] “This Dorayaki thing is pretty good. I’ve never had such fluffy skin before, and the black thing inside is good too. Hmm, hmm, yes, very good.”

[6] As I let my teabag steep, I took a bite of my Dorayaki. “Hmm, you’re right, it’s very good and siiip… Ahhhh, there’s nothing like having green tea with Japanese treats.”

Beside us, Sui vibrated even more intensely after eating the Dorayaki. Oh, she ate all the plastic bags the Dorayakis came in too.

What a cute and useful Slime~~

Umu, I felt a little guilty about eating desserts before going to bed, but somehow, these illicit flavours are the best.

[Gumihou: By the way, Japanese usually called western-style dessert ‘sweets’, you can think of it as the similar way British people call every dessert type food ‘pudding’]
