Only When Needed Does One Regret Having Too Few

Manus did not place the Slime and the aerosolized Beauty Potions in the same enclosed environment. He merely imitated the effect of spraying perfume.

Then he saw the Slime's body take on that familiar pale pink color.

"It really is like this..."

Judging by the amount absorbed, spraying it alone should not have been enough to produce the effect he had just tested. It should not have turned out as perfectly as it had now.

Yet the final result was excellent, which showed that the method Manus had discovered was the correct one. It came with an additional boost.

But if that was the case...

"Does it work by spraying it onto the body? This potion clearly has no scent. What would it turn into?"

Manus examined the Slime in his hand. A Slime that had merely become pinker clearly did not reveal whether it had become "beautiful."

"Should I try it on a rabbit instead?"

Since acquiring the Slime, this brood of rabbits that had multiplied since Bob's time had escaped the fate of becoming test subjects. Manus had raised them solely as livestock, and every one of them had grown plump and fat. The fodder Manus had specially cultivated was simply too nourishing for herbivores—tasty and nutritious.

But clearly, they now needed to return to their original duties.

"This is for a legitimate experiment. It doesn't count as harming living creatures."

Manus grabbed a large, fat rabbit with mostly gray fur and black-and-white spots, then sprayed it with the potion he had put into a perfume bottle.

"Doesn't seem to have done anything?"

What puzzled him was that Manus could not detect any change in the rabbit before him, not even the slightest one.

He examined everything, from obvious features such as its fur to less noticeable details
