Chapter 106

New Evolution (1)

The slime queen thought she knew all the evolution processes of all slimes.

Because the moment becoming the highest individual.

The slime queen could recognize about the many evolution possibilities that might have been for herself.

That was like a privilege granted to monsters that reached the highest individual.

Therefore the slime queen had never once seen kin possessing an evolution possibility she doesn’t know.

However now, among the choices presented to the slime a choice the slime queen doesn’t know appeared.

In other words a possibility not given to herself.

Could be said an unknown choice.

[Soft Queen]▶My kin! Hurry and explain in detail!

With the worry that if a choice she doesn’t know adversely affects the slime and the curiosity of wanting to know the possibility she doesn’t know the slime queen urged the explanation.

It was then.

Taak!

“Tongtong!”

Claire approached the slime.

“Fine?”

‘Claire!’

The slime closed the evolution guide window and looked at Claire.

“Hurt?”

Claire asked containing worry.

The appearance of the slime fighting the orc champion Claire was also watching.

Of course not able to see from the beginning.

From when the slime injured orc champion B and was fighting orc champion A.

‘Tongtong, amazing!’

The appearance of already knocking down one orc champion and confronting another one not only made Claire exclaim, but greatly raised the adventurers’ morale.

“Tongtong knocked down one orc champion!”

“Uoooo!”

“Amazing, Tongtong!”

“Can win! Can win this time too!”

But there was also a scene that seemed like the heart would sink in an instant.

That was precisely when the slime was caught in the orc champion’s hand.

‘Dangerous!’

In Claire’s head the scene of the slime being crushed in the orc champion’s hand like this flashed by.

In the middle of fighting the orc pack, immediately rushing out toward the slime was close to impossible.

But if losing the slime like this everything ends.

Thinking whether should go help the slime even if risking being attacked while moving.

Saw the slime escaping from the orc champion’s grip by itself.

‘Tongtong, strong!’

Seeing the slime attacking the orc champion as soon as escaping Claire was relieved again and concentrated on her own fight.

“Haaaat!”

Paaaaak!

-Kuuuuk!

After knocking down the blue orc, Claire looked at the slime again.

The slime was the moment of knocking down the two orc champions and looking at the evolution window in full swing.

‘Tongtong, not moving. Why?’

But Claire who doesn’t know such circumstances thought strangely because the usually overflowing activity slime suddenly not moving still.

If the slime Claire knows at least after knocking down the orc champion, would have moved right away rejoicing or approached this way.

But not moving a single bit.

‘Slime greatly hurt?’

While fighting the orc champion hurt greatly to the point of unable to move?

Couldn’t help but have such a thought.

At least a gap to approach the slime arose so Claire hurriedly ran toward the slime.

And as soon as approaching Claire confirmed the slime’s state.

‘Fine!’

Boing! Boing!

The slime answered Claire’s worry and jumped in place.

At the lively appearance no different from usual Claire lessened the worry.

‘Fortunate. Was tired for a moment?’

Claire who hates monsters that attacked the village, but already in Claire’s heart the slime has become an existence different from ordinary monsters.

For Claire the slime became an existence worth acknowledging as a companion.

Claire who confirmed the companion is safe pointed to the place where the orc pack and adventurers are still fighting in full swing and said.

“Tongtong, can fight more? Have to go help there.”

‘Yes!’

Boing!

The slime climbed on Claire’s shoulder.

“Let’s go.”

Taak!

Claire ran toward the battlefield again with the slime riding on the shoulder.

[Soft Queen]▶Aaaat! Because of human guys the explanation is delayed aaat!

▶Want to hear the slime’s explanation? Continues after 1 hour!

▶So long lolol

▶Ah~ because humans are so weak have to help~.

+++

Around the time the slime joined the adventurers together with Claire.

Kkanjuk in the secret workshop.

“Use that warp thing and send to where Tongtong is~!”

Was being shaken while grabbed by the collar by Nellin.

-Nellin, calm down!

“Does it look like can calm! Chilture is being attacked by the orc pack now!”

The moment Kkanjuk first directly mentioned about the slime.

That moment was the time the slime was in full swing fighting the orc champions.

Why the slime is fighting together with Claire to protect the village.

Kkanjuk didn’t reveal about the system and made a suitable reason and continued the explanation.

After suitably saying how the slime met Claire and what kind of life in the village when trying to say about the orc pack attack.

The slime knocked down the orc champion and uploaded the evolution choices to the chat window.

‘7!?’

-...! Wait a moment.

“Huh? Why?”

-...

“What, why closing the mouth?”

“H, by any chance something happened to Tongtong?”

After typing chat for a moment, Kkanjuk looked at Nellin’s group again and said.

-No, something happened is... no.

“Something happened, this.”

Tried to reassure the group but couldn’t deceive the companion’s eyes.

Nellin still remembered Kkanjuk’s habit even now.

If there is a matter of trailing off words in the middle it means there is definitely something caught.

-No, Nellin. Something big happened is really not. Even if not worrying...

“Then don’t drag the talk and hurry and say the main point! Tongtong huh! Why protecting the village! In the middle of fighting! What happened to Tongtong!”

-Understood, will explain quickly so calm down.

Not only Nellin, Godric’s group and Amelia, Paulen, Gracie were also sending gazes wanting Kkanjuk to talk quickly.

At Nellin’s urging the moment the words that Chilture is being attacked by an orc pack of over 100 came out of Kkanjuk’s mouth.

“Hey! Use warp! The orc pack is attacking the village what are you leisurely talking and lying around!”

Nellin exploded and came to grab Kkanjuk’s collar.

Nellin demanding to use warp right away and send themselves to Chilture.

But for Kkanjuk that was a demand that couldn’t be granted.

Therefore Kkanjuk decided to calm the excited Nellin.

-The attack is already ended or the same! So no need to worry.

“Is that word real?”

-Yeah, a few orcs remain, but that will also be quickly exterminated. No need to go over using even warp. Originally I don’t want to do that.

“Why?”

-Nellin, think coolly. Now you all are known to be at the Saint’s Hill with the purpose of fighting me. But if the news of appearing at far away Chilture is heard what do you think.

“Would be rumored that the hero saved Chilture from crisis!”

-Would be misunderstood as becoming on the side of the evil lich!

“Really? Just thought of scolding the lich and making a subordinate not?”

-Thinking that would be only you, Nellin...

“This time Ventus’s words are right, Nellin. People’s thoughts won’t be that positive.”

“Excuse me, Ventus-nim. So is Budul safe?”

At Amelia’s question Kkanjuk nodded.

“Safe and how. Rather the one who played the biggest role in protecting the village is that slime.”

“Tongtong played the biggest role?”

Unable to hold at the words that the slime played active Godric intervened.

-Yeah, because the strongest among the existences facing the orc pack is the slime.

“Tongtong is the strongest?”

“Hahaha! If Budul who didn’t skip training even here of course strong! This is proud!”

Hearing the news that the slime played the biggest role, the atmosphere of the ones full of anxiety and worry considerably eased.

-Nellin, if you go out from here go to Chilture. That Snow Flower Fist girl will continue waiting at Chilture.

“Understood. So... what will you do?”

Nellin put a hand on the waist and sharply opened her eyes.

“Just stick an arrow in the forehead of that bastard who trapped you?”

“Yes, Nellin-nim!”

Current Magic Tower Lord.

At the words of wanting to kill Brooks Besilja Gracie was greatly surprised.

The facts learned today were all shocking.

The lich was actually the ancestor she respected Ventus Frail.

Moreover his death wasn’t due to a magic accident, and the culprit who killed him was Brooks Besilja she thought as a benefactor.

Not only that but even the fact that actually Brooks Besilja wanted her failure and tried to kill the slime.

Suddenly facts that rushed in all at once Gracie was hard to fully accept.

Therefore reflexively reacted to the words of killing Brooks Besilja.

“What. Have dissatisfaction? You also heard. That bastard tried to kill Ventus, and tried to play tricks so you fail.”

“Yes, yes. Heard. But...”

“Nellin, don’t push Gracie too much. Until knowing the truth for Gracie that person was a thankful figure so will be hard to easily accept.”

“Not pushing?”

“Moreover just shooting an arrow in the head I also oppose.”

“What? Why?”

“Ending with just that is boring.”

“Huh?”

“F, Saintess Fresia?”

“Shouldn’t make the things piled until now collapse and make regret the things he did for a long time?”

Wearing a benevolent smile but Nellin could immediately notice.

That Fresia is angry not a joke.

‘The smile made when extremely pissed, that.’

“Uh. That’s right. Crushing right away is too wasteful. Hey! Ventus! You also that side is better?”

-If revenge on that Brooks guy of course. Actually about revenge Nellin, Fresia. There was something I wanted to request to you two.

“What?”

“Please say anything, Ventus.”

Kkanjuk’s request was simple.

After leaving the secret workshop and returning, conveying the dramatized fact to the Holy City.

The lich they subjugated.

In the middle of fighting found out that the lich’s identity is Ventus Frail transformed into a monster.

After becoming a monster Ventus Frail has fought for decades to suppress the instinct as a monster.

When being subjugated, Ventus who fully found reason revealed the process of becoming a lich to past companions.

And the opportunity Ventus Frail became a lich.

What tried to kill Ventus Frail by causing a magic accident was none other than Brooks Besilja.

-If conveying like this that guy’s reputation would hit the bottom in one go. No matter what because a story you all directly convey. No need to doubt.

“What, trying to hide traces like this saying I died~?”

-That side ends most smoothly. If saying failed the subjugation for no reason only people’s anxiety grows. Fortunately the slime became a meritorious person who saved the village at Chilture now. Almost no matter of looking suspicious related to me.

Originally even if such suspicion arises if Nellin and the next Saintess Amelia claim the slime’s innocence Kkanjuk judged there would be no one who can refute.

It was then.

“I’m sorry, Ventus. I can’t grant that request.”

-Fresia? Why...

Unexpected refusal from Fresia.

When trying to ask the reason Fresia answered first.

“Because I plan to continue being here.”

-Wh, what!?

“Saintess Fresia!?”

A bomb statement fell from Fresia’s mouth.
