I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Tentacle Slime~ I Want to Live a Comfortable, Secure Life and Do Whatever I Want~ - Chapter 100

[Natalie POV]

After Cruz-san left the guild, I started peeling off the Dungeon Rabbit fur collection request forms, starting with the highest reward.

“I’m so happy today, there’s a lot of bonuses~!”

Thanks to Cruz-kun bringing 200 pristine Dungeon Rabbit furs, I ended up getting silver coins from the guild’s commission and the reward Cruz-san gave me. I guess this means I should eat something tasty for the babies in my belly, right?

Oh, I almost forgot. I need to report to the Guild Master to make sure Cruz-san doesn’t get targeted by any weird people!

I finished processing the request forms and headed to the Guild Master’s room.

“Guild Master! It’s Natalie!”

I knocked and waited for the Guild Master’s response.

“Natalie, huh! You can come in!”

A deep voice replied from the Guild Master’s room, and I entered.

“Natalie, you did great today! The people from the Clothing Guild were happy too!”

I received words of praise from the cheerful Guild Master, but that’s not why I’m here!

“Thank you! But that’s not what I came to talk about… hmm? Maybe that is?”

“?? What do you mean? If you don’t understand, I won’t either.”

“Uh, it’s about the person who completed the Dungeon Rabbit requests…”

I talked to the Guild Master about Cruz-san. I left out the fact that I might be pregnant, since it’s not certain yet.

–

“I understand, four new demi-human species of the slime type… That explains how so many high-quality Dungeon Rabbit furs were gathered.”

“Yes! And so――――”

I was about to request protection for Cruz-saan, but the Guild Master stopped me with his hand.

“I understand. You want Cruz-kun to be able to do adventurer work without any worries in this town, right?”

“Yes! Cruz-san hid two slimes, disguised one as a Dungeon Wolf, and took on a human form himself. I think he doesn’t like to stand out too much.”

If he wanted to stand out, there’d be no need to hide the slimes. A single slime could surpass an advanced adventurer, and with a party of four, they’re expected to become top-tier without a doubt.

“Hmm, there may be a reason for it. Being able to turn into a Dungeon Wolf means… he might have come from some territory but left due to some circumstances. For nobles, a Slime Tamer is a precious asset. If they lost him, it’d be a huge shame. They would probably hide him so well that we wouldn’t be able to track him.”

The Guild Master was stroking his chin, deep in thought.

(But if that’s the case, why didn’t he know about the adventurer card? I should probably keep this information hidden. It’s likely bad news for Cruz-san.)

“I’m heading to Lord Spada now. This is a big deal, so I’ll make sure to convey Cruz-kun’s expected intentions. He’s someone Lord Spada wouldn’t want to let go of. Hahahaha! I might be able to produce a top-tier adventurer from this town in my generation!”

Even the Slime Tamers in this town are still considered high-level adventurers. They’re having a hard time defeating the boss in the water area on the fourth layer (the Snow Woman is the boss of the third layer).

“I tried to arrange to get the mithril armor used by the top-tier adventurers of the royal capital, but since it’s mithril, it’s considered a national treasure. Even after telling them it was needed by the Slime Tamer, it was still hard to obtain. However, if four slimes are added to the party… perhaps… No, I shouldn’t be calculating like this. If Cruz-kun dislikes this, it will only backfire!”

The Guild Master laughed boisterously and scratched his head.

“That’s the plan, I’ll leave things to you while I’m away. Natalie, keep an eye on Cruz-kun. I’d like any information on what he desires and what he dislikes.”

“Yes! Understood.”

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

I changed into formal attire required to meet with nobles and headed for Lord Spada.

I’ve never heard of demi-humans of the slime type. Clearing the 1st floor in just one day and hunting 200 Dungeon Rabbits? Then there’s no way it’s a lie.

“Lord Spada, thank you for granting me an audience at such a late hour.”

“Ah, it’s no problem. So, you said it was something urgent?”

“Indeed. The truth is—”

The effect of Charm lasts about 24 hours, so she is currently still under a status effect.
