Otherworld Dagashi Shop Yahagi

Chapter 130: Wakuwaku Slime Operation

Titti doesn’t seem to want anyone to know what she is doing.

If that’s the case, I would like to respect that.

For that reason, it might be best to assist without letting the person in question realize it.

I also don’t want her to know about my Clairvoyance either.

I took out a new snack that I was going to put on the shelves later in the afternoon.

Product name: Wakuwaku Slime

Description: A dagashi prepared by the customer. When you mix two kinds of powder in order, you can make a jelly that looks like slime. If one eats it, they can camouflage as a slime for 15 minutes.

Price: 200 rims

This is a slightly overpriced self-made dagashi.

Once you transform into a slime, you will not be attacked by other monsters, so you can use this for scouting and other purposes.

Moreover, there seems to be a 1% chance that you’d transform into a Metal Wakuwaku Slime.

Eating it can allow you to transform into a slime that can move at high speed.

It’s truly a slime that makes you go wakuwaku.

Eating this will allow me to walk around safely even on the 6th Underground Floor.

Fortunately, there are no adventurers hunting monsters on the 6th Underground Floor, so there’s no need for me to worry about being killed by mistake.

My plan was to go to the room where Titti and Marco were resting and provide them with snacks without their knowledge.

At that moment, the door of the tatami room opened and Michelle peaked in.

[How is it? Did you find out where Titti is?]

Even though they don’t seem to get along, it seems that she’s still worried about her little sister.

Since coming to Luganda, the two of them have been talking more and more.

They even started smiling at each other once in a while.

I explained the situation to Michelle.

[I never thought that that Titti would actually think that way……]

[Well, isn’t it a good thing? Anyhow, I’m gonna go out for a bit.]

[Are you going to be alright, Yuusuke, heading out there on your own?]

[I’m just going to supply them with snacks, so it won’t be a problem. I also won’t be attacked by any monsters when I go there as a slime.]

[Alright. However, don’t you dare have an affair with a female slime!]

Whoa there, I don’t have such preferences.

In the first place, I don’t think monsters born from magical mists even have romantic feelings.

The wall between different species is higher and thicker than this yandere witch thinks.

In any case, I pacified Michelle’s insecurities and headed for the dungeon.

When the elevator door slid open, I found myself in a small entrance area.

Just as Mani-san had informed us, there seemed to be no monsters here.

I quickly opened up a pack of wakuwaku slime and started making snacks.

[Too bad, I didn’t turn into a Metal Slime huh.]

I was hoping to experience their fast movement speed, but that would have to wait until next time.

[Well, let’s just go and make it. First, I should make the juice……]

I put Powder ① in the tray provided and poured water up to the marking line.

[Stir it well here or it will fail.]

Mix well with a spoon until there are no lumps.

Being that I’m a dagashi shopowner, I properly checked to make sure there was no gunk accumulating at the bottom.

[Alright, we’re good to go!]

Licking the stirring spoon, I could smell the slight hint of soda aroma.

[Now, by adding Powder ② to the mixture……]

I added the rest of the powder and stirred, and the liquid turned into a gel, and a gelatinous jelly was soon formed.

It was cleanly finished and had a faint greenish tinge.

[Before I eat it, I guess I’ll check out where Titti and Marco are now.]

Because of my increase in level, using Clairvoyance hardly puts a strain on my body.

If I don’t look into the past or future, I would be able to use Clairvoyance continuously.

[Let’s see, Titti and Marco are…… Uegh!]

They’re still freaking making out in the same room……

Whatever.

By the looks of it, they’ll probably be in that room for a while.

I quickly canceled out my Clairvoyance and ate the wakuwaku slime.

[Fumu, chewier than jell-o.]

When I finished eating it, my body started to feel itchy.

It seems that I can camouflage as a slime at any time.

When I let my mana circulate through my body, everything I was wearing became slime-like.

With this, preparations are now complete.

Since it enables your armor and weapons to camouflage as a body part of a slime as well, it has quite an amazing effect.

Moreover, the camouflage can be immediately released.

The price is a little high, but I have a feeling this will be a hit product.

As soon as I stepped out of the entrance area, I encountered a monster.

That was scary……

It was a rhinoceros-like monster that looked to be about 4 meters long.

It had a rugged exoskeleton and bare muscles, and it looked ferocious.

If I hadn’t been camouflaging as a slime, it would have ripped my head off with one bite.

Thankfully, it only took one look at me before it returned lumbering down the dungeon corridor.

It was so terrifying that I really felt like a pipsqueak around muscular grown-ups.

How did Titti and Marco even beat that thing?

Even with how she usually acts, Titti really must be an excellent witch huh.

Allowing myself some extra time, I ate another pack of wakuwaku slime in a safe room before continuing down the path.

And then, finally, I made it to the treasure room.

I wonder if they were still here?

Putting my ear to the door……

[Titti! Titti!]

[Ahhn, Marco?]

They’re still at it!?

Ahh, can’t they finish their deed already?

Putting down the bag full of snacks I had prepared, including some wakuwaku slime and kabayaki sansuke, which is, well, increases their stamina if they still wanna continue doing that, I left the place.

Titti POV

With our stamina and mana restored, we left the room, only to discover a strange bag on the other side of the door.

[Marco, was that thing over there before?]

[No, I don’t think so……]

Maybe an unknown monster has disguised as a paper bag.

I nervously checked it out, but the contents were just the snacks sold at that dagashi shop.

[Why are these dagashis here? Ah, it’s a new product.]

Marco pulled out a dagashi I had never seen before called Wakuwaku Slime.

[Did Yahagi-san come here earlier?]

Why was Yahagi here?

Had he come to rescue us?

However, that isn’t possible.

I had come all this way without telling anyone.

[I don’t know…… but in any case, we will use this. If we camouflage as slimes, we should be able to make it to the elevator entrance area safely.]

Marco and I went back to the room for a moment, preparing ourselves with some dagashi, before we started moving.

Thanks to the dagashi we found by the door, we managed to make it back aboveground.

The golden statue was hidden in my home and protected with a Sealing Barrier.

It’s now safe from theft.

Now, I just need to contact Prime Minister Essel and he will have someone pick it up.

With that decided, I visited the dagashi shop to ask for an assembly glider.

[Welcome.]

I was greeted by Yahagi, who looked the same as usual.

[I’d like to have an assembly glider.]

[According to government policy, they aren’t for sale.]

[I’ve got a situation here. I’m trying to get in touch with someone among the government officials……]

[Well, if that’s the case……]

Yahagi came from the room in the back with the item.

[Hey, were you on the 6th Underground Floor today?]

[Hmm? Hmmm, yeah, I was. Well, I was making my rounds. Dropped a bag of my products along the way though, so it wasn’t really any good. How’d you know that?]

[Not much. ……Thanks.]

[Eh? Why did you thank me?]

[Annoying! It’s nothing.]

It was obvious that Yahagi was feigning ignorance about something.

He must have found out about how we were in a crisis somehow.

Despite everything between us, he’s an excellent guy.

I can understand why Sister was that madly in love with him.

I still hate myself, but have I perhaps become a little better person than I was yesterday?

I suppose I’ll tell him how I feel one more time.

[Thank you……]

I don’t know if Yahagi heard me.

However, Yahagi was smiling, so I decided I’d just be content with that.

<Translator’s Notes>

I don’t know what that Wakuwaku Slime is based from.
