New Meeting (4)

“A, adventurer?”

“No, what sound suddenly, hyung-nim!”

“Puhup, d, doing adventurer taking slime. Hyung-nim’s joke also i, increased. Kheup!”

“Not joking.”

At the leader’s words, the subordinates’ reactions were each different.

“Didn’t you say adventurer is d, dangerous?”

Worried Def.

“What adventurer with slime!”

Refuting Sgol.

“What thought is it, hyung-nim?”

Asking Hawein.

The leader calmly explained the reason to the subordinates.

“You also know. That doing bandit role won’t properly work. Tried to somehow endure until the wanted order ends... but thinking of that pervert kid, the wanted order ending will also take quite a while. So.”

Hitting the knee tak! the leader said.

“Do adventurer taking this guy.”

“No, what with slime...”

“Listen to the end, Sgol. You also saw sufficiently today. How well this slime fights. Doesn’t even hinder when fighting and rather caught monsters much faster than you. Above all.”

The leader lifted the slime that was quietly listening to the talk on the floor and stroked.

Burrurrur!

“This gentle and listens well to words. Just right for taking around...But why is this trembling?”

Def said while smiling hesil hesil.

“S, seems liking.”

“...Yes. Meeting a slime this strong yet follows people well is luck. If luck came, of course have to catch.”

“Huhe, hyung-nim. Didn’t you say not doing adventurer because dangerous?”

“Tried not to if possible. But now our situation is not the time to consider such things. Now we doing adventurer in a place escaped from that damn guy’s influence is the best.”

“Hyung-nim! Then doing mercenary in another place is better!”

“Sgol, even if escaping that guy’s influence, you also know the mercenary industry is narrow. Guys who will entrust requests to us already marked by a noble will be few. Rather... there might be guys who try to convey our story to that noble guy.”

“Th, there leader.”

“Why. You also opposing, Def?”

“No. Not that. H, have something curious.”

“What.”

“Even if doing adventurer, that... w, won’t there be people who try to convey our story?”

The leader, Hawein, Sgol looked at Def as if unexpected.

To think Def would even think such a thing!

“Huh? W, why is everyone looking?”

“No. Yes, of course even if doing adventurer there will be guys who talk about us. But what to do. At least if adventurer, not someone requesting us but we choosing one of the overflowing requests so no worry of no work. Moreover... if we prove skill as adventurers and become famous, rather the guy won’t be able to touch us carelessly.”

“Why?”

“If becoming famous, words also gain that much power. If the guy spreads even bad rumors about us... we also similarly can expose what request the guy did to us during mercenary times. Mercenaries would hush because watching noble eyes but adventurers are less so.”

It was talk that adventurers can obtain people’s trust as much as mainly taking the dangerous work of monster subjugation.

“Any more questions?”

There were no more words questioning or opposing the leader.

The bandits.

No, the group that has now become adventurer aspirants decided to do adventurer life together with the slime.

And while such a plan was being established.

▶lmao things rolling fun lmao

▶After living comfortably in the mansion, forming a party with humans? lmao

▶fr can’t predict even an inch.

[Yarn Lady]▶Since among not cute humans, Squishy-nim looks cuter~

▶In the middle of that humans selling over?

▶[Ruin Lover has been kicked.]

▶Cut!

▶lmao

▶Ack lmao now not a room without manager lmao

There were viewers looking at the currently ongoing situation fun through the slime.

‘Whether to call this fortunate or concerning.’

And nickname Free Spirit who is in charge of the room’s manager.

Commonly called the joker was extremely flustered at the slime’s continuing actions.

‘Wanted not to be hostile with humans, but didn’t know would get close this smoothly.’

Thought knew the relationship between humans and monsters well since once a human.

But the slime’s actions were getting along with humans much more smoothly than the joker thought.

Not only stayed in Count Ludendion’s mansion for more than a month, but after leaving the mansion, the bandits met in another territory also not immediately subjugating the slime but rather trying to cooperate and become adventurers.

‘Has the perception of monsters changed these days? Is my thought... too outdated for the era?’

Since not gone outside for 30 years, the world’s common sense might have changed.

Even if calmly thinking that is fact, the joker found it difficult to accept emotionally.

Because even now becoming a lich, wanted to think words like ‘old’, ‘outdated for the era’, ‘frame’ are not related to himself!

The joker changed thoughts to another topic for self mental protection.

‘More than that, Squishy Queen has no particular words. Is this okay?’

Nickname Squishy Queen.

Squishy Queen who calls the slime the same kind and worries whenever dangerous was not saying anything this time.

‘Thought would at least say forming a group with mere humans, no.’

While the joker was thinking such.

‘Not such a bad thing.’

Squishy Queen did not particularly find the bandits’ conversation offensive.

‘The same kind also should slowly fight stronger guys and solidify the foundation for next evolution.’

Now the slime was not a weak slime that was anxious whether would lose to wild animals and die.

Not only went through evolution once, but even if not liking, properly learned body slam from Fenrir and obtained attack means.

Above all, moreover at the time was absurd, but stayed in a quite high-status human’s nest and continuously ingested nutrient-rich meals and grew the body.

Monsters absorb what is ingested better than humans and are affected that much.

In the Slime Queen’s eyes, the current slime was overwhelmingly superior even to ordinary slimes.

Can’t one know just by looking at the skill of lightly disposing of about 12 goblins.

The Slime Queen nodded recalling the time.

‘Mere goblins are now things that do not even help the same kind much. Have to fight stronger guys for next evolution.’

Was expecting to meet herself someday by becoming stronger and evolving more.

And the shorter that period becomes, the better.

Thinking so, the bandits’ proposal was not bad.

The Slime Queen also knows while watching broadcasts.

That the species called adventurers are humans bloodshot on hunting monsters fearlessly.

That it means humans who recklessly rush at monsters to the extent of looking stupid and sometimes lose life falling into arrogance even without odds of winning.

‘The same kind is not stupid like humans. If meeting a guy that cannot be handled, will be able to run away alone. Moreover.’

Did not think that those weak humans trying to become adventurers borrowing the slime’s power would recklessly rush at strong enemies that even the slime finds difficult.

+++

The former mercenary and former bandit group that decided to do adventurer taking the slime.

Tried to move to a region escaped from Viscount Pedphil’s influence becoming adventurer aspirants.

However, there was a slight problem there.

The wanted order issued?

That much can be resolved as much as wanted if adding more money using an independent route.

The problem was exactly the slime.

Even if a weak slime, a monster is a monster.

If using a carriage and a fault is caught or refused saying don’t want to load, very troublesome.

Above all, if going around hidden from the beginning and later caught while doing adventurer activities, very troublesome.

When worrying how to pass smoothly, Sgol came up with an idea.

“How about just putting on this pig head? Appeal that safe even if put on the head!”

When first hearing, almost popped out that makes sense?, but.

‘...Might work?’

Actually even now the slime is on Def’s head.

Def’s face that looks pure even if the body is large and the slime quietly on that head.

Somehow an appearance that looks persuasive.

“...No other method so let’s go with that.”

And the bold adventurer aspirants’ operation.

“Ha, now even guys like you do such things?”

Succeeded smoothly along with the driver’s absurd words.

“The count young lady thing, guys like you putting slime on the head is a trend these days?”

The reason was thanks to the rumor spread from the Ludendion count’s territory.

The story of the Ludendion count young lady who has a peculiar hobby.

The count young lady who puts the slime on the head and inspects the village enjoyably while receiving guards.

That slime was rumored to be very gentle and have a good appetite.

Of course the adventurer aspirants who went out as much as possible quickly finishing transactions even in the black market while doing bandit life outside were hearing the story for the first time.

Succeeded in riding the carriage, but the others except Def were still dazed.

“Hehe, went well.”

“No, this really succeeds?”

“Puhup, the world rolls fun.”

“Who knew the count young lady would do such a stupid thing.”

“...Well, good is good.”

The adventurer aspirants moved for 2 weeks and arrived at a region escaped from Viscount Pedphil’s influence.

“This is the place we will newly start from now.”

“A, as expected the adventurer’s city, p, people are many.”

“Fool! Even just a city, people are many!”

“Kheup, heup, don’t say too pure words, Def. Countryside bumpkin vibe all comes out.”

Burrurrur!

“Ah, Tongtongi also likes coming to the city!”

Tongtongi.

That was the name Def named for the slime while moving.

“Catch a room quickly and go to the guild. Understood?”

““Yes, hyung-nim!””

‘Hyung-nim!’

Poyong!

The slime recognized jumping matching the slogan as one play.

Reserved an inn room and the adventurer aspirants headed to the guild.

“Welcome, what business... slime?”

Even the guild receptionist who was speaking formal words had the gaze stolen by the slime on Def’s head.

The leader who had become familiar with such gazes as much as familiar paid no mind and said the purpose.

“Came to register as adventurer. Me and these three. And... this slime.”

“R, registering the slime as adventurer?”

“No, no need up to registering. Just put in the party list since will act together with us.”

“Ah! The name is Tongtongi!”

Poyong!

The slime jumped on Def’s head as if responding yes.

At Def’s words speaking while smiling purely, the receptionist thought.

Though has been a receptionist for several years, this absurd adventurer registration is the first.
