Cyclodungeon Association, President's Office.
　When I came to visit, I was facing the president's cell.

　Cell was staring at it(,) which was on top of my - my head.

"Slime ......?
Yeah, it's a unique slime monster.

　I nodded and explained the situation to Cell.

'The monsters around me are more likely to be unique monsters than others--is what you told me.
''Hmm. It's indisputable that Satou-sama's vibrations are stronger than those of the ordinary people and have a stronger effect on the monsters.
'We succeeded in making Carbon's dungeons still have monsters at night by putting monsters in the spirit room that copied the very existence of Carbon. And that's why I thought of it. So I figured if I copied me, and in large numbers, I could create a unique monster in no time at all.

　After explaining the situation up to this point, Cell folded his arms and nodded his head vigorously.

I see, it makes sense. I'm still amazed at Satou-sama. It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on some of these things. There has never yet been anyone who has done such a thing.
Is that so?
Some people who 'keep' a haggler want it. My own little girl, my own little girl. My own little girl.
Yeah, I think I get it.

　Some hag creatures are friendly to humans, and if you go through the proper procedures, you can keep them just like a pet.
　It's only natural that people would want their own child to be unique and different from the rest.

But this is almost always not the case, but Satou-sama changed it very easily and with purpose. I can only say that's amazing.
It's only with Carbon's help, though.
I'm pretty sure that was Sato-sama's idea.
Squeak.

　The Unique Monster Slime was still on top of my head and made a good-natured noise.
　It completely misses me, it was like that right after the change, so I brought it to Cell in peace.

　It's a cute slime from the beginning, it's even cuter with its unique monster transformation, and on top of that it misses me.

　Looking at this figure, ten out of ten people would judge it harmless.
　As expected, Cell also narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the slime with a smile.

''So, I would like permission to keep this boy.
I'll have her published right away.
Sorry.
''No, permission to keep a haggle of things depends on the credibility of the owner. There isn't a person in this city who would reject Satou-sama's offer.

　So you're pretty credible.
　I'm grateful for that, and that's a bit of a responsibility.

Wait for me, I'll see what I can do.
Please.

　Cell nodded and stood up.
　A moment later, something fell from his bosom with a thud to the floor.

　I thought it was a statue of me again .......

'Why is it a statue of me and Carbon!
'This is different!　It's not!

　Cell hurriedly picked it up and put it back in his pocket.

'It was never a memorial to Satou-sama's first joint effort or anything like that!
That's the kind of thing that falls to the wayside, isn't it?　On purpose!

　A big shove.
　And haha, sigh.

　As usual, that(,) of the cell is fast.
　Or rather, I didn't have to explain it to him.

'Not at all,'
Gohon: ...... or maybe a little disappointing.

　Cell, standing up, coughing and cheating, changed the subject.

'Too bad?'
If it was our first time working together, I would have preferred Satou-sama's daughter instead of the slime.
'No, no, no, I'm glad you said that: ......
I'm sure the genie meant to do that.
'No, no, no, it's not about us, it's about the spirits and humans who don't even know if we can do it in the first place.
That's the biggest obstacle, the biggest challenge.
How much do you know?

　I plunged into it with such force that my voice flipped over.
　It's true that it can be called an ordeal, and in fact, when Carbon hears it, he might be motivated to do so with a lot of energy.

"Well, that's a shame, really.
Totally. ......
...... kikey.

　The unique monster slime was gone, and it jumped off my head.
　I jumped to my cell with a bang.

"Mwah!

　Cell tried to avoid it, but he couldn't.
　The statue that he had tucked away in his pocket fell with another rumble to the floor.

　The Unique Monster Slime swallowed it - and digested it.

　After a while - a change occurs.
　The slime's body swells up in a way that feels like it defies the laws of conservation of mass, and it takes on the appearance of a kindergartner, or maybe a schoolboy, about six years old.

　Though small, it looked exactly like Carbon.

'Can it transform into human form?'
No, it's ......, the daughter of Genie Carbone. ......
What?

　I was surprised.

　Immediately after, the little carbon-like slime jumped on me and hugged me.

　It was a gesture worthy of my beloved daughter.
