The Slime is attached to me

 The Slime I saved got attached to me.
It was fawning on me quite a lot, and honestly, I’m hesitating to hunt this Slime for materials.
 
 ”Uni~…”
 
 Uni was also looking alternatively between me and the Slime at my feet, as though asking me “Hunt it? You going to hunt it?”.
Of course, I could tell Uni wanted me to overlook it.
 
 ”Mogu~…”
 ”Mokyu~…”
 ”Mogu mogu…”
 ”Mogu-…”
 ”Mo~gu~…”
 
 The moles also seemed to be clinging to my legs, as though asking me to overlook it.
 
 ”Koo~ koo~…”
 
 Kani also raised a pained cry.
She looked at me with teary eyes.
What destructive power.
 
 ”Yep.
That’s right.
If it’s this attached to me, I just can’t bring myself to do it.”
 ”Kyupi~?”

 The Slime gave off an atmosphere like it was saying “what, what~?” or something.
I don’t know if I can call it the head, but the face-like part lifted up a bit.
 
 ”Well, I saved you.
Be careful next time.”
 ”Kyu~♪”
 
 The Slime rubbed its head against me and raised a cheerful voice.
It’s a really friendly Slime.
 We accidentally saved the Slime.
Well, we’ll just go find another Slime to use for materials.
 
 ”Let’s go, everyone.”
 ”Unyu”
 ”””””Mogu~ mogu~”””””
 ”Koo~♪”
 
 And so, we set off for the end of the cave, but…
 
 ”Kyupi~♪”
 ”Eh?”
 
 Hearing a voice, I turned around, and to my surprise, the slime was following from behind.

 ”Oi, oi, you want to follow us?”
 ”Kyupi~♪”
 
 The Slime shook its body.
It declared its affirmation.
 But, I’m amazed.
I didn’t think it would get this attached.
Hmm, I could ask if it wants to come along with me and everyone else, but… I guess it’d be better to just bring it up.
 
 ”I’ll say this just in case, but our real aim was your body, you know? I needed it for materials.”
 ”Kyu~?”
 
 I don’t know if you understood what I said, but I wanted to make sure you knew it certainly wasn’t out of good intentions.
 I’d say the result is that I saved you, but…
 
 ”Kyu-! Kyupi~”
 ”Hm?”
 
 Then, the Slime began to shake, more violently than what it did before, and soon, it split into two bodies with a pop.
 Oh, that’s surprising.
I knew that Slimes could split, but that not just any Slime can.
 But, the Slime that split off really isn’t moving.
Does it not have a will?
 
 ”Kyu~♪”

 The Slime cried as though to get my attention.
Hmm, could this be…
 
 ”Does this mean I can do as I like with this split one?”
 ”Kyu~♪”
 
 I see, so that’s how it is.
However, it’s in fact not that simple.
When you split like this, the purity of the material drops.
Of course, splitting more will worsen, it… huh?
 I picked up the Slime that was made and inspected it thoroughly, but… this, it isn’t deteriorating at all.
 
 ”Wait, wait! Really?! Wait, can you still make more like this?”
 ”Kyupi~♪”
 
 Then the Slime split on the spot with a pon-pon sound, and many Slimes without wills lined up.
Moreover, these haven’t deteriorated at all.
 
 ”A-, amazing Slime! This is amazing!”
 ”Kyupi~”
 
 The Slime shook happily at my praise.
But it’s surprising.
If I have this, I won’t need to hunt for Slimes for the time being.
 
 ”Kyupi?”
 
 Then the Slime zig-zagged its body as if trying to say “how’s that, how’s that?”.

 Hmm, it’s true that this one has gotten attached to me.
 
 ”… then, would you like to sign a familiar contract with me too?”
 ”Kyu-! Kyupi~”
 
 The Slime bounced on the ground with a pon-pon sound.
It seems very happy.
 I also wouldn’t be able to bear the thought that the Slime I went through all the effort to save ended up being immediately killed by another monster.
 Besides, I’m sure it’ll get on well with the others, and anyways, if it agrees, we’ll sign the contract.
 
 ”Then let’s get it over with.”
 
 By the way, it’s a little late to mention this, but for a familiar contract, it’s only possible if you can use magic, and if the other party agrees, such conditions need to be met.
[TL: not sure if the monster needs to be able to use magic, or the person.
Most likely the person…]
 And normally, one would need to draw a magic circle and have them enter it, but if you have my architectural techniques, a magic circle isn’t needed.
The reason is that, if you activate the familiar contract from the technique loaded in this bracelet, the magic power of each other will be synchronised and the contract will be completed.
Of course, the contracts that have been made up till now have been done in this way.
 
 ”Alright, now you’re my familiar, so I guess you’ll need a name.”
 
 I’ve also given everyone else names too.
That’s why, right…
 
 ”Yep, alright, then it’ll be Keon.
How’s that?”
 ”Kyu? Kyupi~! Kyu~♪”
 
 Oh, it somehow seems pleased.
Now, this Slime has become my familiar, Keon…
