The next morning, I received a request from Imosuke.
It seems that the pill bug wants to be my kin.
「Kin…..」
I examine this unfamiliar word.
I understand the meaning of the word, but I have never thought of myself having a kin.
「Imosuke, are you also my kin?」
Of course, was its response.
Hmm, it’s fine. It’s not a bad idea taking care of the pill bug as my kin.
「Okay, I’ll accept pill bug as my kin.」

In front of me, the pill bug happily curled up.
However, it would be inconvenient to keep calling it a pill bug. Let’s name it as a proof of becoming my kin.
「I shall grant you a name. From now on you will be called Dangorou.」
And it curled up again.
…Hmm? It’s faint, but I feel that a wave of joy has been transmitted from Dangorou.
I ask Imosuke.
「Imosuke, has the mental path between me and Dangorou connected?」
…It seems to have connected.
Now, I’m sure that was Dangorou’s feeling just now.
After that, I spent all morning deepening the interaction with my family.
「Imosuke, I will be going out. I will probably return late, so as the leader please take care of the garden forest.」
I receive a quick response from Imosuke. It seems as if it was saluting.
From then on after I left the house, I have played an intensely active role.
I went to three brothels after launch, and two after dinner, and chose women who were in bad health.
Of course, I wasn’t able to pour into every single one.
At most, one person a store, and sometimes even without pouring, and ends with just grooming and treatment.
The brothels are not only limited to the lower-class but also the middle-class.
Staggering tiredly, I went home at midnight and went to the garden.
「This should be enough.」
After saying it, Imosuke transmit a feeling of gratitude. It is still weak, but Dangorou as well.
After doing what needs to be done, I dive into bed and slept right away.
The next day, the routine is the same.
In the morning, I interacted with my family members. The topics were about the situation of the garden forest, if there was anything lacking, and also about spirit beasts.
And before noon, I leave the house again.
And with the mission of saving the girls in the brothels of the Royal Capital, I continued my journey.
As I continued my journey, a concierge from a certain store says to me with an inspiring tone.
「Oh, Dr.Slime has come to our store.」
(Dr.Slime? Is it me?… But why a slime?)
A question mark floats atop my head.
I decided to ask the concierge.
「Is Dr.Slime referring to me?」
「Yes, that is right. That is the way we have been calling you.」
Is it not alright? He looks up towards me.
I can’t answer whether it’s good or bad, because I don’t know the reason why.
「But why Dr.Slime?」
「According to what I’ve heard, there’s a customer who can cure women who are sick or in poor physical condition」
Hmm, that’s me.
「And that person is also a renowned pharmacist.」
… I don’t remember calling myself in any of the brothels recently.
No, I’m paying with my guild card, so its most probably enquired from there.
But, renowned, I don’t remember making my name this big.
But I suddenly realized.
(Is it the case of me selling the Cure Status Abnormality Potion (D) for Dolba?)
The old man from the merchant guild did mention about telling Dolba about me.
Well, can’t be helped since it has already happened.
「So, why slime?」
The concierge responds after thinking for a moment.
「There seem to be a mysterious type of slime that heals other creature in this world, and it is called a Dr.Slime.」
I don’t know why, but I feel like that wasn’t actually the reason.
If it’s just healing, isn’t there other things other than slime. And why is it a monster? Not human.
「…Putting Dr aside, I still don’t know why slime.」
「According to Telmano of the Magic Academy, Dr.Slime produces a medicinal ingredient similar to potions in their body. So, as a pharmacist, you are name Dr.Slime is what I think.」
Telmano… I remembered.
I’ve seen him before when I was selling potions at the merchant guild.
He’s a pharmacist who was showing off the shining C rank potion that he is delivering with his nose high up in front of everyone. And his mouth bent greatly.
That bent mouth, saying unnecessary things.
Although what he said made sense, I feel that that was something more of it than just this.
「And I heard that the first person who started to say slime, was the princess of a certain brothel.」
He shakes his head left and right stating that he didn’t know the reason as to why.
I won’t get any more information even if I continue asking.
And I came here for treatment. I can’t forget my purpose.
「I understand, thank you. Then, I would like to start picking now.」
