Evolution (4)
The light of evolution that appears when a monster evolves.
The moment light appears, the monster’s body changes into the individual it is evolving into.
‘Wondrous!’
The slime enveloped in light in the middle shouted the impression it felt in its heart.
Its body was changing.
What could it express that sensation with other than wondrous.
After the light subsided, the slime immediately wanted to check its body whose feeling had changed.
‘I want to see!’
The slime immediately checked its body through the third-person screen of the broadcast window.
‘...?’
And looking at its reflected appearance, the slime tilted its body.
Because almost nothing had changed!
If forced to pick what changed, the point that the body’s elasticity increased so the light-green slime body looks more glossy.
And the viewers also felt there was no change the same.
▶Did it evolve?
▶Nothing changed?
▶No no looks a bit more bouncy.
▶Bouncy?
▶Like your belly?
The Slime Queen asked toward the slime that looks almost unchanged.
[Squishy Queen]▶Member of my kind! What did you choose! Tell me!
▷Bounce Slime! I chose!
[Just Ram and See]▶Hahaha! As expected chose body slam, Squishy! As expected my teachings were good!
[Yarn Lady]▶It’s a bit regrettable not choosing poison~ but the current appearance is also to~o too cute, Squishy-nim!
[Free Spirit]▶Squishy-nim! Why did you choose Bounce Slime?
Relieved that the slime chose Bounce Slime, the joker asked the slime’s motive to utilize next evolution as well.
▷I wanted to jump quickly! I wanted to jump a lot!
▷I will catch deer by jumping quickly!
▶lmao
▶Was holding the losing the race to the deer lmao
[Noblesse Fire]▶Hey, since you evolved anyway, then try jumping. Let’s see how much faster.
The fire dragon who was not particularly curious about motives urged wanting to see the changed appearance.
And such a fire dragon’s demand coincided with what the slime was thinking.
It checked the appearance but there was no particular change in the exterior.
But there is the sensation that it has definitely changed.
Then what remains is only checking the difference by moving directly!
The slime first tried jumping poyong poyong in place as usual.
Poyong! Poyong!
‘Waa!’
And as soon as it moved, the slime clearly felt the evolution.
The height rising from jumping in place increased clearly.
Not only that, the force entering the moment of jumping also became more powerful.
As a result.
The deer’s head that was below the slime was driven deeper into the ground.
[Gothic Luxury Bone]▶Squishy-nim? The deer’s head has been stuck in the ground since earlier?
And Bone Dragon pointed out the fact that other monsters had not paid attention to until now.
‘Deer?’
At the pointing chat, the slime then looked down below itself.
‘Deer!’
The deer’s head stuck in the dirt floor now only the horns were visible.
+++
‘Khehehe! With this there will be more things to teach!’
At the fact that the slime evolved into Bounce Slime, Fenrir felt as if he had seized victory.
The household atmosphere where his words are not properly listened to recently.
Not only the children, but even his spouse was somehow looking at Fenrir with pathetic eyes these days.
Not disliking but not proud either, neither this nor that gaze!
That dug Fenrir’s heart even more.
Fortunately, Fenrir could forget such heartache when looking at Squishy.
‘What should I teach next. Since the speed became faster, moving in all directions to extract the opponent’s spirit is good..., eliminating the opponent in one go with a swift strike is also good!’
-He, hehe, hehehehe!
In Fenrir’s pupils, the slime diligently absorbing the deer was reflected.
‘Yes! Eat a lot and grow more! Then I will teach you more hunting methods, Squishy!’
The children were looking from behind at Fenrir laughing while thinking about how to do customized education for Squishy.
-Dad, laughing creepily alone again...
-Go talk to dad. What, looking at.
-Don’t want to, bothersome. If curious, hyung go ask.
-I also don’t want to. If I talk, he says will you go hunting together again.
-Just go.
-Dad once hunting doesn’t end until evening. I also have broadcasts I want to watch!
-What are you doing? Mom said not to whisper behind dad!
Fenrir’s wife appeared and scolded and scattered the children.
And looking at Fenrir who does not react even if she scolds because absorbed in the broadcast, his wife let out a small sigh.
-Sigh.
Unnoticed, Fenrir’s reputation as the head of the household was going down further.
+++
After evolving, the slime that excitedly jumped around here and there often made mistakes by failing to control force.
While jumping around, bumping into trees several times or failing to control the body’s force while aiming at prey and bouncing out in another direction, etc., small mistakes continued.
Of course, such appearances became good laughter material for the viewers.
▶lmao went wrong again.
▶I also had times like that while evolving lmao
▶22222
▶33333
▶It takes quite a while to adapt to that lmao
▶Ah! adaptation damn!
There were also many viewers who empathized with the appearance of not adapting after evolving and made it a memory.
[Yarn Lady]▶Cheer up, Squishy-nim!
[Squishy Queen]▶You can do it! You will adapt soon, member of my kind!
[Gothic Luxury Bone]▶Still gradually getting better.
[Just Ram and See]▶Don’t forget the failure and make it the next opportunity!
There were also viewers cheering the slime.
And going through several trials and errors, one week since the slime became Bounce Slime.
Poyong! Poyong!
The slime became able to skillfully handle its evolved body.
Due to that, a change also came to the slime’s hunting.
After discovering a deer, the slime charged without hiding.
Of course the deer ran away right away seeing the slime, but the slime whose speed increased by evolving into Bounce Slime became able to sufficiently chase the deer’s speed.
On top of that.
‘Body slam!’
Poyoyong!
The slime says body slam but strictly speaking body slam with further increased elasticity.
It used Bounce Tackle and hit the deer’s torso.
Thud!
The deer hit squarely by Bounce Tackle collapsed to the side while its body slightly rose.
The tackle using powerful elasticity could also collapse the deer in one shot.
The weakest slime among monster individuals.
But once going through evolution, ordinary herbivorous animals cannot even be opponents to the strength it possesses.
‘Deer!’
The slime thought while absorbing the prey it caught.
Deer has more nutrients than rabbits, and eating it gave strength to the body.
In other words, more delicious in slime language.
However, even so the slime felt insufficiency.
‘Jerky...’
That was because of the taste of seasonings.
The seasonings used in jerky were a very wondrous and stimulating taste for the slime.
But there was a bigger dissatisfaction than the taste of jerky.
‘The same!’
The forest where the elf village is boasts considerable width.
Therefore, even though it moved for a week, the slime could only see the same forest scenery.
It was a forest where already known trees and already known animals and already known plants were growing.
‘I want to see other things!’
Like wanting to go outside the cave, the slime slowly wanted to go outside the forest and see other scenery.
Why did the slime come to think like this.
If it only knew the forest from the beginning, the slime would not have held such dissatisfaction.
However, the slime had seen.
Scenery other than the forest.
The time goes back to 3 days ago.
+++
Just in time then was a time when the number of viewers watching the slime’s broadcast was small.
Since only scenes of wandering the wide forest continued, most viewers went to watch other broadcasts.
Since there were no particular events or crises, it was just boring.
Fenrir aimed for exactly that time.
‘Good! Just in time the other guys all went out! Like this I can teach properly!’
▶[Just Ram and See has donated 10 coins.]
▶[Message: Hey! Squishy! From now I will give you special training!]
▷Special training?
[Just Ram and See]▶Training where you can become faster and stronger!
▷Waa!
Not knowing well but the slime rejoiced at the fact that it can know new things.
And 1 hour passed.
Fenrir was very regretful.
What he was newly informing this time was the pre-stage special training of body slam that moves in all directions to extract the opponent’s spirit.
The slime is following as Fenrir said, but in his eyes it was somehow regretful.
Even so, explaining more by chat was unreasonable. There was a limit to explaining by chat.
‘Yes! Then that works!’
Fenrir suddenly had one thought flash as if inspiration descended.
[Just Ram and See]▶Hey! Squishy! Watch my broadcast!
▷Broadcast?
[Just Ram and See]▶I will open my broadcast now! Open the broadcast list and enter the room written body slam special training! Got it!
Leaving those words, Fenrir exited the chat room.
‘Broadcast list?’
The slime tilted its body.
Since the system injected it, there was of course knowledge about the broadcast list.
But it has already been more than 10 days since the knowledge was injected.
The slime that had not used other broadcast systems besides turning on first-person and third-person simultaneously and looking at the chat room and typing chat in its heart.
Therefore, the slime could not immediately recall the usage of the broadcast list.
‘Broadcast list! I want to see!’
[Displaying the broadcast list.]
When it shouted its wish, the system responded to the slime’s demand.
A translucent window unfolded in front of the slime and a window listing the broadcast list appeared.
‘Waa!’
The slime that understood that what unfolded in its eyes now is the broadcast list recalled the word Fenrir left.
‘Body slam special training?’
[Searching for the broadcast titled body slam special training.]
[Search complete.]
When the system started searching, only one room was displayed in the broadcast list.
‘This!’
When the slime concentrated on the body slam special training room, the system asked its will.
[Would you like to watch the body slam special training broadcast?]
‘I want to see!’
[Connecting to the corresponding broadcast room.]
‘Waaaaaa!’
The moment it entered the broadcast room.
The slime exclaimed.
Because only things it sees for the first time were illuminated on the screen.
A pure white scenery different from the green forest.
The floor covered in snow that makes a creak creak sound and the pure white snow falling from the sky.
And standing in the center of the screen taking a dignified upright pose, a large-bodied wolf with silver fur and green eyes and a peculiar pattern engraved on the forehead.
Just Ram and See.
Fenrir was illuminated.
[Squishy]▶Amazing! White! White! First time seeing!
The slime immediately expressed the heart it felt in chat.
-Khehahaha! Did you enter, Squishy!
Fenrir who had been waiting in the same posture until the slime came reacted to the slime’s chat.
Outwardly it sounded auuu~ but the slime could understand Fenrir’s meaning contained in that sound.
[Squishy]▶Just Ram and See?
-Yes! That’s me! How is it! My appearance seeing for the first time!
To the question full of expectation, the slime said as it felt.
[Squishy]▶Amazing! Amazing! Silver? White! Green! Amazing!
Even if vocabulary is low, purely rejoicing and exclaiming was properly conveyed.
-Khehahaha! Yes! I am amazing!
‘Ah, this reaction containing pure admiration and respect! This is it!’
Fenrir sincerely thought there was worth coming out rejecting even his wife’s question of where are you going suddenly.
-Good! Then look well, Squishy! So you can understand easily! I will show the movements directly!
