CH 36

Amidst the excitement of having Maximillian Jr. learning how to do the [hand] command, Karin-san suddenly stood up with the slime still riding on her hand.

“Hmm…Something smells. It smells.”

Karin-san’s nose was twitching. When I turned to look at her line of sight, there was Frank-san with Luan who was on top of his head as usual…

C-could it be…?

“Eew, Frank. You were the one who did it, weren’t you?!”

Amanda-san distanced herself from Frank-san quickly, still carrying me.

Virna-san who was beside Frank-san also nonchalantly moved.

“Wha, what are you talking about, Amanda? It’s not me.”

“Kyuu.”

Luan also protested from the top of Frank-san’s head.

But Karin-san was approaching Frank-san with her nose still twitching.

“Hm hm. This smell is!”

“So it’s Frank who smells, right? Did you properly wash yourself with the clean magic?”

Amanda-san distanced herself further from Frank-san, and he shouted, “It’s a misunderstanding!”

Contrary to Amanda-san who took a step behind, Karin-san stood in front of Frank-san with her nose snorting and—then she passed by him.

“Eh?”

Huh? It’s not Frank-san’s smell?

“Hm hm hm. What’s with this smell? It’s a smell that I’ve never sniffed until now. Is it fire…? No, it’s a bit different. This scent that tingles the depth of my nose—can it be a new slime variety?! Uh huh. This is very interesting!”

A new slime variety?

Amazing. If it were really discovered, wouldn’t it be a great discovery?

Karin-san quickly entered the forest. Odd enough, the road doesn’t look like it’s an animal’s trail, but it has a width that’s enough to let people pass through. Sometimes, the trees’ branches hinder one from passing through, but if one were to slightly bend down, one can just pass through.

“Wait, Karin, where are you going?”

“Hm. It’s still ahead.”

“…She doesn’t hear us at all, does she?”

With Amanda-san’s length of hair, it was apparently caught in the branches at times, so she often stopped. It would be nice if we have something like the hair tie…

Ah.

When I looked inside my cat pouch, I took out the thing I was searching for.

Ta-da! Hibiscus barrette, white version!

It was an item that I got from when there was an event called as [The Midsummer Beach Party] in [Elysia Online], and since it was an accessory meant to be combined with a swimsuit, it was a barrette. We could choose between red or white, and I picked white.

Using this, we would be able to put the hair in order, I guess.

I also obtained a bikini swimsuit, but it didn’t suit me so I hadn’t worn it, but someday, I could let Amanda-san…

“Amanda-san, please use this.”

“Oh my, what is it?”

Amanda-san received the barrette and blinked looking at it. It seemed like she didn’t understand how to use it, so I had Amanda-san crouch down and I put her hair in order.

“This is how we use it, how is it?”

“It’s very nice! But isn’t this a valuable item?”

“It’s alright. I have a lot of the same thing.”

During the event, we could gather the items several times, and I actually had had ten of it.

In addition, the white hibiscus barrette suited Amanda-san, so I was so happy to see it being used by her.

“And this is how you should attach it. See, it suits you a lot. Hey, don’t you think so, Argo-san?”

“Yeah. It suits her well. Won’t it be good if you show it to Georg later?”

When Argo-san said the latter part, Amanda-san smiled brilliantly.

“Fufuu. Is that so? Yuuri-chan thinks so, too?”

“Of course!”

After all, Amanda-san is so beautiful and gentle, she’s an ideal woman.

How nice. I also want to be a woman like Amanda-san.

“Amanda, it seemed like the professor found something.”

While we were being relaxed like this, Karin-san, Frank-san, and Virna-san who went along with her returned.

“Did you find something?”

“…It would be faster for you to see.”

We rushed up to follow Virna-san, but since I was so small, I couldn’t go fast.

“Ah.”

I was about to fall down after getting my foot caught on the grass, but Argo-san propped me from behind.

“Your foothold isn’t so good, huh? I’ll carry you.”

And then, just like that…

Eeeeeh, I’m being princess-carried?!

“Eh. W-wait a minute, please!”

“Oh my, Argo. Aren’t you so thoughtful? Let’s hurry.”

Amanda-san turned around to take a glance at me, and seeing that I was being princess-carried, her running speed increased.

Argo-san’s speed also increased to match hers and—

Uwaaah! I can’t open my eyes due to the wind pressure-.

With my eyes tightly shut, a stinking scent that made the depth of my nose tingle floated in the air.

Eh? I felt like I had smelled this scent before, somewhere…

Feeling that Argo-san stopped walking, I opened my eyes and a scenery that didn’t suit one that should be in the middle of a forest unfolded before my eyes.

Beyond the forest, an isolated small fountain was seen. There were some rocks surrounding it, and there was fire rising up from the cracks.

“How odd. It should have been a slime’s smell, but…”

Karin-san said as she began to crawl on all fours sniffing the ground.

“…A slime’s smell?”

Come to think of it, Karin-san often said that “it’s a slime’s smell”, but when I sniffed Purun, it didn’t have any smell, though?

I wonder if everyone of this world can tell a slime’s smell?

“Karin’s nose is special. For some reason, she can tell a slime’s smell.”

“Hwaa.”

Is that so? …Somehow it feels like it’s amazing?

Karin-san was still crawling on all fours as she went beside the fountain. We also followed behind her.

“Huh? The steam is rising up.”

When I touched the fountain with my hand, it was warm.

Ah. I see. I thought that I’ve smelled this scent before, so it turns out to be the scent of sulfur?

“This is onsen!”

“Onsen?”1

Karin-san asked as she put her hand in the fountain as well.

“It means warm fountain. In Japan, we warm our bodies by entering onsen. Depending on the place, it can also be effective in treating illness.”

“Hou. So it has that kind of effects, huh?”

“I don’t know if this onsen has that kind of effects, but I’m sure that we will feel healed.”

“Hmm…It seems that I can’t find any slime, so why don’t we try entering this onsen?”

Wha, Karin-san was suddenly about to take off her clothes, please stooooop!

There are Frank-san and Argo-san hereeeeeeeee!
