I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Tentacle Slime~ I Want to Live a Comfortable, Secure Life and Do Whatever I Want~ - Chapter 30

Let’s go back in time a little――――

“Mmm♡ Ahh♡ My br3asts feel so good♡♡”

I was going through my daily milking routine with Rio. I didn’t expect to enjoy it this much. Sipping the slightly sweet, warm br3ast milk, I was thinking about my plans for the day.

Today, I need to expand the MH (monster houses) to six rooms on floors 1 to 3 for the next batch of slime children. I should also teach them how to use the drilling tentacle.

After finishing most of the br3ast milk, I detached the tentacle from Rio’s n1pple, and a sweet fragrance gently tickled my nose.

“Rio, thanks for the meal. It was delicious again today.”

“You’re welcome.”

When I stroked Rio’s head with a tentacle, her fox ears twitched and swayed cutely.

“It feels so good when you pet my head~♡”

I petted Rio’s head until she was satisfied.

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

I brought the baby slimes with me and arrived at the planned expansion site for the Monster House on the first floor.

“Today, I plan to teach you how to create a Monster House.”

“Can we really make a Monster House? It wasn’t written on the dungeon’s sign…”

One slime raised its tentacle to ask a question, as if it was a hand, but considering it’s inherited my logic, I guess that’s how it is.

“Yeah, you can make it. I don’t know why it’s not written on the sign. It seems like not everything is on that sign.”

“It’s odd, given how helpful it is.”

“Yeah. The idea of digging a dungeon might be a rare one. Well, let’s get started.”

“”””Yes!””””

I transformed a few of my tentacles into rough, thorn-covered ones, like a drilling machine. When I pressed them against the wall, I could hear the grinding sound as it scraped away.

“With these kinds of tentacles, digging through the wall is easy. The hardness of the drill and the number of tentacles depend on how many golems you’ve consumed, so you should only use as many as you can handle.”

“Also, it seems the number of monsters that appear in the Monster House is fixed at one per 10 square meters. So, use 1000 square meters as a reference, which would give you 100 monsters per room. The basic size is 20 meters by 50 meters.”

As I dug through the wall, I explained everything to the baby slimes.

“Father, how do we measure 20 meters and 50 meters?”

“I emit ultrasonic waves and calculate the distance based on the time it takes for them to return. Distance = speed × time, right? The speed of sound is about 340 m/s, so if I know the time it takes for the wave to reflect back, I can figure out the distance. Luckily, thanks to the bat’s traits or my ability to control sound waves, the time precision is so good that I can measure it with no more than a 1-meter error. You know how we use ultrasound for radar when exploring dungeons? It’s even easier than that.”

The baby slimes are already practicing distance measurement.

“It’s surprisingly easy to measure.”

“After you’re done practicing, help me out. It takes nearly two hours when I do it alone, and it’s pretty hard work.”

“Yes, we’ll help.”

“I should make this one the same shape as the other Monster Houses, right?”

After digging for a while, the slime children came over to me.

“Father, where should I dispose of the dug soil?”

“I’ll collect it and dispose of it in the mountain outside. It’s piled up pretty high now, so I’ll head out, and you all can keep digging.”

“Should we go instead? It would be faster if you were the one digging, Father.”

“No, the mountain where I’ll dump it is a bit far. I’ll travel using the hawk-like bird I hunted before, so it’s fastest if I go.”

“Understood. We’ll continue digging.”

“Yeah, I’m counting on you.”

I gathered the soil and headed outside the dungeon. To prevent the location of the dungeon from being discovered, I went to a distant mountain to dispose of it. After about 10 minutes, I returned, and the size had grown significantly. It looked like the baby slime had stored some of the soil inside, and I could clearly make out the shape of the room.

In the end, it took 40 minutes to make one room. Compared to two hours, that’s a 1/3 reduction in time―――Amazing!

Since it was made with five people, it doesn’t mean the work time is reduced to 1/5.

“Good job. Let’s take a short break, then we’ll make another room.”

That day, at a pace of one room per hour, we expanded the number of Monster Houses on floors 1 to 3 to six rooms.

As expected, I don’t want to work beyond eight hours a day.

This time’s results:

・ Taught the method for creating Monster Houses.

・ Six Monster Houses have been built on floors 1 to 3.
