Why are you giving me this ...... thing?
I've been watching you all day, sir.

　Grandma Terl said exactly the same thing as before.

It's like you were born from my son, and I've been watching you all day like a grandchild.

　She really was a grandmother giving her grandchildren an allowance!

　I mean, ...... that's how it felt.
　I haven't figured out the exact cause yet, but I was dropped on the first floor of Tellurium.
　One could argue that I was born out of slime.

　When you think about it, a grandmother and her grandson is not a ridiculous story at all.

　When I thought about it, I felt more and more like I had to have it.

I understand, I will use it gratefully. It makes me very happy.
That's good news.

　Grandma Tellurian said, and smiled prettily at him.

　　　　　☆

Oh, Lord Lyota!

　As I came back into the dungeon from Grandma Telluride's place, Margaret, who had been looking around, noticed me and scampered up to me.

'Are you alright, Lyota-sama?'
I'm sorry to worry you. It's just that Grandma Terl called.
'You've met with a spirit after all, Master Lyota!

　Margaret clasped her hands together and smiled as happily as she could.

'So the Tellurian spirits have agreed to help you?'
It's like, well, you know, I got this thing.
This is ...... ring, is it?
Yeah, any slime?
One of them just passed by there.
Let's go after it.

　I walked out with her in the direction Margaret had told me to go.

　As soon as they turned the corner, they encountered a sleeping slime.

'Watch me,'
Yes!

　With Margaret nodding vigorously in her place, I walked toward the slime, equipping the ring.
　The sleeping slime approached me and angrily slammed into me.

　The body hit my crotch with a tremendous force and just hit me in the groin.

"Ryota-sama!

　Margaret shouted my name, just as it was hit and miss.

'Yeah, I'm fine,'

　Sleeping slime that hits the crotch of the body, loses momentum and falls right down.
　As it was, it rolled away from me like a rubber ball.

　I looked at the ring I wore.
　It's a slime-disabling ring, and it works perfectly.
　The fact that he suddenly went for my crotch made me impatient for a moment, but I've met a number of spirits before, so I was sure that I was fine.

''Ryota-sama!　What was that?
As you can see, it's a piece of equipment that neutralizes all slime attacks.
Wow!
We've disabled the attack, but what about the sleep breath?

　From beside me as I said this, the sleeping slime let out a breath with an increasingly angry face.
　This was also received without moving at all.

　The sleep slime's sleep attack, which had been asleep as soon as it was applied before, didn't work at all.

''So the status attack is also disabled?''
It's getting more and more amazing.
Okay, we'll change our tactics.
What?
I'll take care of the attack, and Margaret will take it down. Let's go.
Yes!

　　　　　★

　When I got up on time and returned to the mansion, Emily had returned at exactly the same time.
　Emily dropped the hammer she was carrying and ran over to me.

''You're home!''
I'm home. Perfect timing.... Emily, I need you to do me a favor.
All right, what do you want me to do?
Teach me to cook.
Huh ...... cooking, is that it?
Yeah.

　I nodded deeply and looked at Emily.

'Okay,'

　Emily took it on without asking too much.

　　　　　☆

Grandma.
Oh, what's the matter with you?　I mean, how did you get in here?

　Grandma Terl, who was sitting in almost the same pose as when we parted earlier, sitting in a candy store grandmotherly way, was surprised to see me.

'Here, I'll share this with you.'

　I held out what I had brought.
　In a deep bowl is a stew made with carrots and bamboo shoots.

I made it with ingredients that I just got today. I hope you'll enjoy it.
You want me to go to ......?
Yes.

　Grandma Terl was surprised.

　I held out the bowl and handed her the chopsticks I had brought while I was at it.

'Here you go,'
Let's have it. ......
What do you think?
It's delicious. I've never tasted dungeon vegetables like this before.

　Oh, right.

Good to know it's in your mouth.
...... We went to all this trouble to get you to eat this, huh?
Yes.

　When he nodded, Grandma Terl was first surprised, then giggled again, more and more happily.
