If I Survive the SSS-Rank Demon Realm with a ‘Useless’ Skill, I’ll Become the World’s Strongest Alchemist: Building a Comfortable Base and Enjoying a Fun Life in Another World with My Companions~

Chapter 42

Suddenly, a message appears.

[Miracle Slime has become your companion.]

“!”

Muu jumps onto my shoulder and rubs its face against mine. It seems much more affectionate than before. Is this the effect of the Oath Collar?

“A companion… huh.”

I think back to my days of solitude. Days spent living only for the thrill of leveling up through hunting and fighting. Maybe having this round-eyed little creature by my side won’t be so bad after all.

“Well, let’s get along from now on.”

I pat Muu, and it closes its eyes contentedly. Night has fallen deeply. I gently place Muu beside me and lie down.

“Guess it’s a good night, huh.”

That night, I slept deeply and soundly. It might have been the first time I’ve slept this well since coming to this forest.

The next morning. Today, I decided to try cooking.

Until now, I’ve only made things like dried meat, but I suddenly felt like eating something cooked. I used to cook for myself before coming here, and I’ve gathered enough ingredients to make something decent.

What sealed the deal was finding rock salt deep in the cave. With salt, you can make almost anything taste good—that’s my rough judgment.
