That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Light Novel, Chapter 340
Chapter 340
Bonus – Visit to the Unknown – 05 Veldora’s Excuse
“–What are you doing, master…?”
Ramiris asked Veldora, who was cooking okonomiyaki with a big grin . She had been the first to return .
As Veldora had gone against their agreement after being left alone for just a short while, it could not be helped that there was a sharpness in her voice .
However, Veldora did not seem to take notice . He kept pouring more batter over the grill and added shredded cabbage on top .
It was a mystery as to where these ingredients were coming from, but he handled them expertly as he mixed them into the batter .
And then he said:
“Kaaa-hahahaha! Ramiris, do you want some too?”
“Yes . But, that’s not the problem!!”
Ramiris nodded to Veldora’s light-hearted response but quickly remembered herself .
I won’t be tricked by food! It was with this strong will that she rained down words of reproach over Veldora .
“We just talked about this earlier . We are supposed to act with caution!”
However, Veldora just snickered at her .
“Ramiris, calm down . If you’re just going to complain about everything, I will just have to keep these spoils of war for myself, won’t I?”
“…What?”
“Look at this . If you put it together like this…”
While waiting for the batter to cook, Veldora quickly assembled a robot .
It was a torso on top of what looked like a tank .
A simple machine with two arms .
However, the left arm was distinctly shaped like a drill .
“Huh . That’s an interesting combination . ”
“It looks so cool . ”
“I’m going to copy that…”
The children watched it with interest and were clearly impressed .
This only made Veldora more and more arrogant .
“Hehehe . Of course . It should be no surprise that I can create a partner who is both cool and strong!”
He said with a satisfied nod .
And then he glanced at Ramiris and continued .
“What do you think, Ramiris? Will you still pretend to be uninterested?”
He must have been sure of his victory because he said this with a puffed-out chest .
Veldora’s words were more than enough to make Ramiris hesitate .
“Huh? Uh!?”
Ramiris’s head seemed to spin as she began to wonder what to do .
And it was then that a freshly cooked plate of okonomiyaki was put in front of her .
It was an exquisite dish that used lots of shrimp and pork .
Savory sauce, seaweed, and bonito flakes covered it . The smell alone was enough to make her drool .
Ramiris gulped .
“This is for you . Eat up . ”
“Uh, aah…okay . I will then…”
That strong will to resist any trickery now disappeared from Ramiris’s heart .
Veldora thought he had won then, but it did not last for long .
“Lord Ramiris . Do not be deceived . ”
Ramiris was looking at the okonomiyaki with sparkling eyes when Beretta’s warning reached her ears .
“Huh? What?”
She was clearly shaken as she looked around her .
She looked at Veldora, then Beretta and then back at the plate of okonomiyaki . It was obvious that her heart was not sure .
Ramiris really did want to side with Veldora, but her brain was telling her that it would not end well .
She didn’t know what to do .
Veldora watched her and smirked . Then he suddenly shouted, ‘Rocket Puuuuuunch!’
And then, right in front of Ramiris’s eyes, the newly made robot began to move .
Bang!! There was a loud sound .
And then the part passed the elbow of the right arm fired off like a rocket .
The fist slammed into the wall .
Veldora shouted again .
“And now the deathblow! Drill Break!!”
The robot heard this and started to move again .
The caterpillar groaned and then the string attached to the right arm began to pull the body in .
Once the right arm was back in its socket, the left arm rotated like a drill at a tremendous speed and slammed into the wall .
There was a deafening sound .
And then, destruction .
“WOOOW!!”
The children were greatly excited by this .
And so was Ramiris .
She stood up while still gripping her chopsticks and then shouted excitedly .
“Amazing! That was amazing, master!!”
“Kaahahahahaha! Kaa-hahahaha!! Of course, it is . ”
Delicious okonomiyaki .
Children to play with .
A cool robot .
New entertainment .
Everything was here .
And so it went without saying, that Ramiris gave in .
◇◇◇
Ramiris began to happily eat the okonomiyaki . Beretta sighed with exasperation .
However, he had not given up yet .
Ramiris was simple, so he had fully expected her to be tricked by Veldora .
What was important, was when it came to determining who was responsible–and that would happen for sure–was how to ensure that Ramiris would not get in trouble .
Because Ramiris’s mistakes = him being rebuked . Or so Beretta thought .
–You were there, and yet you could not stop them?–
Beretta could imagine Rimuru’s face as he asked this .
You ask too much of me–was how he really felt, but he would never say it out loud .
Beretta took things very seriously .
And so he wondered what it was that they needed .
For instance, what he considered the ideal, was the relationship between Milim and Frey .
As self-centered and forceful as Milim was, she somehow always obeyed what Frey said .
Veldora also could not go against his sisters .
If it was an order from Velzard or Velgrynd, Veldora would have no choice but to quietly listen .
In the world, everyone had someone they were no match for .
It wasn’t necessarily about combat ability, but there was a special relationship that determined who was above who .
(Perhaps if I was trusted by Lord Ramiris more…)
Beretta thought .
Beretta believed that Ramiris would listen to him more if she trusted him .
But Beretta was mistaken .
When it came to Milim and Frey, she also got quite the headache .
It was the same with Veldora and his sisters .
If Veldora really did listen to them obediently, then they would not have had such a hard time with him .
While Veldora did not do much mischief these days, he had been responsible for much in the past .
