The Perfect Home
Y'know, I feel like most living things
instinctively relax when they're
snuggled up in a small, cozy space.
Animals and insects don't just
wander about under the hot sun.
They like to sneak around in the dark
and go out under the cover of night.
Y'know how the Pallid Imp said:
"We're creatures of darkness, and
the sun's our mortal enemy"?
Well, the same goes for me.
Besides, if I stay away from other
people, I won't catch diseases or
anything, and I also won't have to
worry about war. It's perfect.
...Huh? That sounds like the lonely
life of a shut-in? Aw, don't worry
about me. I may be alone,
but I'm not LONELY.
Heck, I have plenty of friends.
Like the slimes!
See, a long time ago, I used to be
pretty good friends with the slimes.
They were my neighbors in the ruins.
Ever heard of 'em? They're all squishy
and they hide in pots and don't ever
leave—not even to eat or use the
bathroom. They're the world's most
hardcore shut-ins.
I always thought living in a pot
sounded awesome, so I asked the
slimes to teach me. And let me tell
you, it was GRUELING.
You have to wriggle your body
around just right to fit. Then you
gotta jump to get anywhere, but you
can't see where you're going.
It makes you really dizzy!
So yeah, it was tough—but after
months of training from dusk 'til
dawn, I finally mastered the art of
pot-living. Just like a slime!
But humans have this misconception
that any pot they find in the middle
of nowhere must have a slime in it—
and also that slimes are an enemy.
And let me tell you, I got SO fed up
dealing with round-the-clock,
unprovoked attacks when I was
living in my pot!
Eventually I gave up and just
became a regular ol' shut-in.
Still makes me sad to think about...
Y'know, Euden,
you should try shutting yourself up in
your room after a long day of
fighting. It's VERY relaxing.
