Chapter 183: Chapter 183. Clan Mission?
"Hm? Mission? When did Father-in-law give our clan a mission? Also as far as I remember our clan is still in the construction phase, and there is still a long time before it can open officially, right?
Then how can he even give a mission to our clan?" Myne asked confusedly, the clan hadn't started yet, the clan leader was working tirelessly to earn enough money so he could build a luxurious clan building for everyone and Sylphy on the other hand already started taking the mission without informing him?
What kind of vice clan leader she is, and does she think that he has unlimited energy and doesn't need rest at all?
Sylphy who was still thinking about a bright future where her father nonstop praising her, of course, didn't take Myne's confused face seriously, after hearing his question, she jumped onto his lap, took a half-eaten honey bun from his hand, gave it a mouthful bite and reply cheerfully...
"Actually, in the outskirts of the capital city, in the direction directly opposite of the Divine Spirit Forest some farmers have discovered a new Dungeon and report about it. It suddenly appeared at that place out of nowhere. It only appeared recently, so Father seems to want to quickly capture it and shut it down.
After all, it isn't that far from the capital city, it'd be bad if something dangerous happened because of it. Yesterday Father found me and told me about it, and said that since our clan is newly established, the most important thing we need currently is reputation, without it how can people trust us and give us missions? That is why, after thinking for a while, I decided to accept this mission.
This mission is currently on hold because our clan is still not open and after our wedding ceremony when the clan officially start operating, this mission will begin."
"Lord Husband, I accepted this mission without asking your and Aisha's opinion, you aren't angry with me right?" Sylphy asked innocently with puppy eyes.
"Sigh, of course, I am very angry with you a moment ago, but now you are staring at me with those damn puppy eyes how can I be angry with my little princess?" Myne said helplessly while hugging Sylphy tightly so she couldn't see his crying face without tears and continued, "By the way, what is the reward of this mission?"
"Huh? Shit!! In excitement, I forgot to ask about it to Father. Sorry, Lord Husband, but worry not, I believe after we clear this mission, he will definitely give us a very generous reward," Sylphy said positively, she had a lot of faint in her father.
But Myne doesn't, so after hearing that his little princess, who thinks her father is a very generous guy and forgot to make things clear about the reward of their mission, he immediately finds out why his stingy Father-in-law discuss this mission with Sylphy alone.
That bastard wants to make us work for free again, Myne thought angrily while gritting his teeth.
"Sylphy! Come let's go and hunt down those slimes, I can't wait to see my new skills' effects," Aisha who was already by the pond called out to Sylphy loudly.
"Coming... I am going Lord Husband, have fun, also don't forget to look after those purple slimes," Sylphy again ignored Myne's unnatural expression on his face and after giving a goodbye kiss, she hurriedly ran toward Aisha and the others.
"Sigh, when will this girl grow up? It seems like I have to talk with Aisha regarding her education, otherwise, some bastard will always take advantage of her innocent personality and she won't even realize it," Myne mumbled while taking deep breaths to calm down his inner rage and watching Aisha performing her newly acquired skill Martial Arts: Succesive Shot.
Aisha aimed at a single 50-centimeter big blue slime, and released her grip on the arrow. However, the moment it was fired from the bow, that single arrow was immediately affected by the martial arts and many additional arrows appeared around it and with the same power and speed headed toward the target succesively.
The poor slime which had become the practise target literally became a beehive from a large number of arrows, and soon burst like a bubble, spreading jelly-like substance all around it.
"Phew, that was impressive. Archery troops are weak when it comes to melee, but with this martial arts skill, I think it'll become considerably easier. What a wonderful skill."
As Aisha said that, Myne could see Sylphy who had been fighting on the other side use her martial art skill as well.
[ Martial Arts: Sharpness Sword! ]
Sylphy swung her Linus One-Handed Sword which Myne obtained from the Dungeon of Strength as if there was nothing there in front of her and she was just waving her sword in the air. The three unlucky slimes in front of her halve into two equal parts without any resistance, the degree of sharpness clearly seen.
However, the power of both skills cannot be measured with slimes who have had the title of weakest monsters for centuries, if they really want to see the limit of those martial arts skills then they need more powerful monsters for example Orc, Troll, etc.
"Unm, a wonderful sword, a terrifying martial art skill. It's too great an honour for me to have them. However, since the power was too thoughtlessly strong, we can't use slimes as a reference. Maybe we should mess with powerful monsters to taste the water, what do you say, Aisha?" Sylphy asked excitedly and Aisha nodded her head affirmatively.

Three Hours Later...
[ Name: Slime Experience
LV: 1
Race: Slime Family
Gender: None
[Skill]
Tenfold Experience Acquisition
[Ability]
None ]
Well, this guy is not what I was looking for so far. Is this slime the real version of the Tenfold Experience Acquisition skill that f*ck another type of slime and give birth to that purple mutant slime that I am looking for? Myne thought confusedly while looking at the palm-sized white slime trapped in a glass container that he created with Realize Skill.
"Myne how is it? Did you get that skill?"
Just when Myne was deeply brainstorming about who is the original owner of the Tenfold Experience Acquisition skill between white slime and purple slime, suddenly Aisha's voice interrupted his thinking.
Myne subconsciously turned her head towards the direction the sound came from and saw, Aisha and Sylphy covered in mud from head to toe walking out from the forest dragging 10 goblins in the hunting net behind them who were struggling nonstop to get out from the net.
"Hehe, what happened to both of you? Why did you take a bath in the mud? Please this time don't tell that those goblins attacked you with mud," Myne said jokingly while putting down the glass container on the ground. As for why is everyone other than Myne hunting goblins in the forest rather than slimes?
That's because after half an hour of Aisha and Sylphy's hard work, Myne discovered that he couldn't keep up with their hunting speed, and many of the slimes got killed before he could even appraise them. Seeing that Myne made up his mind and ordered everyone to hunt down other monsters in the forest, and left slimes matter to him
"Let me tell you Myne, Aisha and Sylphy were trying to catch a group of little goblins alive, but those goblins turned out very cunning. They first act like cowards and easily fool Aisha and Sylphy to follow them, and then they both fall into a swamp. If I wasn't there to help them, they would have been hurt by those goblins. Hehehe," Waffle said while laughing.
Hearing the situation from Waffle, Myne looked at his both wives with an expression as if saying, "Are you serious?" Although Myne doesn't care if they get fooled by goblins since anyone in their situation may do the same thing, but really falling in the swamp? How can they miss the swamp in the middle of the forest in the first place? Are they running while looking at the sky?
"I am going to add running exercises in your training as well, do you have any weaknesses other than not knowing how to run while looking at the ground?" Myne asked with a poker face.
"Myne, it is not what you are imagining..."
"I understand, you don't have to give me an explanation, Aisha. We all are Hume, and Hume makes mistakes, as long as you learn from your mistakes and try to not repeat them, they are acceptable," Myne said gently and cast Cleaning Skill on Aisha and Sylphy and magically wiped out all the mud on their bodies and clothes.
"Thanks for the help, Lord Husband," Sylphy mumbled in a low voice, clearly she is very embarrassed because of this incident.
"Haha, no worry, by the way, you guys really work hard, I didn't expect that you would bring those living goblins back, do you want me to take their skills?" Myne asked while staring at the goblins in the net who were looking at him with deep hatred as if he killed their parents.
"Of course, otherwise, why would we need to run behind their ass to catch them alive?" Aisha replies with a smile, although she is also a little ashamed that she got fooled by the goblins, but she is second only to Myne in terms of shamelessness, so she quickly puts this incident out of her mind.
Let's see what kinds of skills you guys have...

Hum, not bad, should I become a goblin slayer? Those little guys have a lot of wonderful skills, Myne thought and cut off their all skills and the ones which he didn't have, he pasted them on himself and distributed the remaining ones between his both wives without telling them, so they don't carry away in excitement and forget to train previous ones and start playing with new ones.
"Myne! Look there is a purple slime!!!"
