Said Robelia-san as she asked the other two for confirmation. Tony and Caulkins-san nodded.
“We barely had any funding for our slime research, so we couldn’t feed the slimes anything special. So instead we just fed it the leftover feeds that other researchers fed their magical beasts. We didn’t really have much of a choice, since even our salaries were only barely enough to let us live. So we just fed the slimes with whatever was available.
There were also researchers who would steal the feed of the slimes when it was meat, so there were very few researchers who would pay out of their own pocket to get the slimes good feed.” [Robelia]
“The slimes would eat whatever you gave it, so we took that as proof that it was fine to feed it anything. After all, slimes are magical beasts that can even live off the food in completely different environments. Such an adaptable magical beast would definitely be fine eating anything.” [Tony]
I couldn’t keep my jaw from falling when I heard Robelia-san’s and Tony-san’s explanation.
You’re kidding, right? It’s true that slimes can eat anything if you order it to… but still… Then again, it’s not like I don’t understand the reason. But at the same time, it’s precisely because you fed it randomly that the slimes evolved randomly. And because of that you couldn’t figure out the importance of feeds to slimes, and you even failed to grasp the evolution conditions as a result. Man, assumptions are scary.
As I thought that, I couldn’t help but unconsciously hold my head. When I brought my head up, the other three were looking at me.
“Boss, what’s the matter all of the sudden?” [Rbelia]
“No, it’s just…” [Ryouma]
Well, alright… Now what? Should I just drop the bomb at their face?
“Actually, the evolution condition for the slimes lie in the feed.” [Ryouma]
“Eh?” [Robelia]
“……” [Tony]
“What do you mean?” [Caulkins]
“I said the slimes evolve depending on what you feed them.” [Ryouma]
I explained to them my findings from back in the forest, and all the evolution conditions of the slimes I have with me now. The three were dumbfounded.
“N-No way…” [Robelia]
“To think that our theory was actually wrong… And to think that very thing was actually the evolution condition…” [Tony]
As Robelia-san and Tony-san muttered that, they held their heads in depression. Huh? Caulkins-san is actually being quiet…!?
Caulkins-san!?” [Ryouma]
Caulkins-san stood their quietly with his head hung in shame. Then all of the sudden, he started crying without letting out his voice! What’s going!?
“Boss…” [Caulkins]
“Y-Yes?” [Ryouma]
Caulkins-san suddenly began to quietly speak.
“You’re explanation, I get it. Actually, when I was working at the lab, my research was about how to evolve a slime into a big slime. Big slimes in general lived in places with strong magical beasts, so my hypothesis was that if I fed a slime the meat of strong magical beasts, then it would eventually turn into a big slime. No one else was able to bring results, so I focused my attention on something different.” [Caulkins]
