Lesser Troll (3)

At the roar sound suddenly heard, everyone turned gazes.

And there.

“What?! Why is there one more!”

There was another Lesser Troll.

The shout of the Lesser Troll that roared at the end.

That was a signal calling another Lesser Troll with the last struggle.

-Grreuaaaat!

The Lesser Troll that suddenly appeared was looking forward with eyes bloodshot.

The already dead Lesser Troll and the humans wandering around it.

And the roar that called itself that was heard.

Who defeated the Lesser Troll that called itself was clear.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

The Lesser Troll charged entrusting the body to anger.

That speed was much fiercer and faster than the Lesser Troll the Godric Party caught.

Not a state where stamina dropped, the Lesser Troll’s charge with even more strength entered due to anger in a complete state.

The true value of the Lesser Troll that raised speed instead of sacrificing body and regeneration for movement from ordinary trolls was being displayed now.

“Uut!”

Godric, Sgol, Def aimed swords and axes toward the Lesser Troll coming with tremendous momentum.

An action taken reflexively due to tension and surprise without even thinking of running away.

Only belatedly the 3 realized that the action they did now was wrong.

“Avoid...!”

Godric hurriedly tried to shout to Sgol and Def to avoid.

But before even finishing those words, the Lesser Troll approaching the 3.

Poyong!

‘Dangerous!’

When another Lesser Troll started charging, the slime detected the crisis of the 3.

The slime hurriedly started moving.

But the distance was far.

Because the slime was together with the hurt Hawein.

Therefore, no matter how much the slime, a distance that cannot help but be later than the Lesser Troll charging at the 3.

‘No!’

If going like this, ends up colliding with the Lesser Troll and the 3.

The 3 end up getting hurt.

The 3 might die.

‘Dislike!’

As soon as the ominous thought rose, wanted to deny that situation.

Wanted to somehow break this situation.

Wanted to move a bit faster, a bit farther and stop the Lesser Troll from attacking the 3.

The slime’s strong wish made it use a skill unconsciously.

However, that was not a skill the slime has used until now.

It was a combination of the skills the slime has used.

The effect of Bounce Jumping.

The more consuming magic power, the elasticity increases.

The effect of Bounce Tackle.

Uses the body’s elasticity and flies a strong body slam in the desired direction.

One is a skill that can use elasticity as much as magic power consumed but could only be used for jumping up.

One is a skill that can attack in the desired direction but had a limit in power.

Now the slime unconsciously utilized only the advantages of the two skills.

Consumes magic power and increases the body’s elasticity as much as possible.

And the moment gathering the elasticity as much as possible.

Po~yong~!

Used Bounce Tackle toward the Lesser Troll right before touching the 3.

That speed was fast to the extent hard to follow even with the eyes.

The slime’s body narrowed the long distance at once and dug into the Lesser Troll’s side with a speed like a gale.

Beeeeeeeok!

-Krreueek!?

The slime that succeeded in protecting the Godric group from the Lesser Troll by a hair’s breadth.

But something the slime did not expect happened.

The slime’s tackle surely displayed power enough to narrow a long distance at once.

However, not just that level.

Bounce Tackle did not stop at narrowing the distance and protecting the Godric group, not only floating the body of the Lesser Troll that has a heavy body.

Made it fly beyond the cliff.

“Uh?”

Godric could not understand what happened in an instant.

Right before the angry Lesser Troll’s hand covers itself, with a heavy sound the Lesser Troll suddenly flew beyond the cliff.

And in the caved side of the Lesser Troll, the slime was embedded.

“T, Tongtongi!”

‘Huh?’

At the sound calling itself, the slime only then grasped the situation.

The secret tackle unconsciously displayed at the thought that the Godric group must not get hurt.

But the power of that tackle was too strong.

Even if thought of wanting to blow away the Lesser Troll, never thought would fly this far even itself.

▶????

▶What is that?

The viewers were also surprised.

Thought a human blowing away show by the Lesser Troll was happening but the screen suddenly moved quickly and became the current situation.

And.

The slime fell below the cliff together with the Lesser Troll.

“Tongtongiaaaa!”

Splash!

The slime was swept into the strong current together with the Lesser Troll while hearing Def’s scream.

+++

The viewers watching the slime’s broadcast were showing various reactions to the scene that happened now.

▶First time seeing falling into water while saving humans lmao

A viewer just laughing at the absurd scene.

▶What was that skill just now? Damn fast.

A viewer interested in the skill the slime showed.

[Yarn Lady]▶What about our Squishy-nimㅠㅠ, parting with close humans like this.

A viewer immersed in the unintentional parting and saddened.

▶So where is going now?

A viewer curious about the slime’s current location, etc.

Showed various reactions, but among them there were none who worry the slime’s life.

Because it was not a situation to particularly worry.

There is no concept of breathing for the slime.

Therefore, even if falling into water, no worry of dying because cannot breathe.

Rather the one that fell into such a crisis was the Lesser Troll.

No matter how much regeneration, if cannot breathe could not live.

The Lesser Troll swept by the current could not breathe properly.

In the end, the Lesser Troll that was swept here and there by the strong current while the wounds regenerate and could not even breathe properly drowned as is.

And the slime was on the corpse of the Lesser Troll floating in the strong current.

‘Godric, Hawein, Sgol, Def...’

The slime tilted the body downward listlessly and was sad.

This was not the first parting.

But the too sudden parting was sad.

At first tried to escape the current right away, but the slime realized that is useless.

Because around the strong current only steep cliffs blocked on both sides were visible.

The cliff ending section being visible was also after fully 30 minutes had passed since flowing down.

If 30 minutes moving riding the strong current, the slime also knew to the extent that moved a considerable distance.

Originally tried to move as soon as the cliff section ended, but this time the Slime Queen and the joker stopped the slime.

Because dangerous.

[Free Spirit]▶Squishy-nim, stop. Dangerous.

[Squishy Queen]▶Member of my kind! If falling into such a current, big trouble!

Since no need for breathing, being in the water is okay.

But that did not mean the slime has the power to overcome the strong current.

Might collide here and there swept by the current if going wrong.

Wanted to meet the Godric Party again.

[Free Spirit]▶If Squishy-nim gets greatly hurt by moving rashly, might not be able to meet those humans again.

Hearing the result that would happen if doing reckless actions while worrying itself, the slime had no choice but to stay still.

+++

There was a man and woman walking the valley.

One person a woman with orange hair and green eyes wearing a white nun’s habit.

The other person a man with brown hair and eyes wearing holy knight armor decorated with silver and gold patterns.

“Haa...”

“What worry arose again today, saintess.”

“Paulen, at times like this please don’t call saintess.”

At the words of the woman called saintess, Paulen showed teeth.

“Aha, was lamenting again because the position carried on own shoulders is heavy, Amelia.”

“Knowing, must say so?”

“At least now staying still while watching eyes seems not good for Amelia. I said, such worries arising is...”

Paulen raised both hands high up and then bent and made biceps.

“Exercise shortage! Because of muscle shortage! If exercising, miscellaneous worries disappear! The heart also becomes healthy!”

“...That is only Paulen thinking so.”

“No! Amelia also quickly follow! Even a little every day! Just following a bit of energy arises! Come! Biceps!”

“...Biceps.”

Though not agreeing at all, Amelia who cannot refuse the words done for herself followed Paulen and stretched the hands up and bent and made biceps.

Paulen looked at such Amelia’s appearance and smiled satisfactorily.

“Good! Hahaha!...So besides the usual worries, what other worries are there, Amelia?”

Paulen has lived as direct escort since Amelia was appointed as saintess.

Therefore, noticed that the worry the girl in front of the eyes is doing now is not because of the position of saintess but another worry.

“Because whether I am doing a useless thing even now.”

“Useless thing?”

“This Lesser Troll subjugation. Because of me Paulen also became bothersome.”

“Oh my. The disease of no confidence arose again, Amelia.”

“A, arose! Speak gently!”

“Hahaha! Anyway I am not bothersome so please don’t worry. Rather was stuffy staying only in the Holy City, coming outside like this is refreshing and good.”

“Fortunate... it is.”

Amelia could not accept Paulen’s words as is.

Amelia chosen as the next saintess succeeding the saintess Frecia who subjugated the calamity.

Her being chosen as the next saintess was exactly 5 years ago.

Was just one of the ordinary believers anywhere in the Holy City, and when suddenly selected as the next saintess in a place doing group prayer as usual, was dazed yet endlessly joyful.

However, as time passed, Amelia could not help but feel anxiety and pressure.

Whether she can do the next saintess well.

The saintess Frecia-nim who is no different from a legend is still alive.

Whether she can take the next place of that great person well?

When selected as the next saintess.

Also received words of encouragement from saintess Frecia that can surely do well.

But for Amelia, only still not trustworthy of herself.

This Lesser Troll subjugation also there was a support request to the Holy City, but most holy knights were in a dispatched situation so could not give help and stepped forward because could not stay still hearing the news.

Up to departing was good but in the middle of moving whether own judgment is correct, whether own judgment became a harm by chance.

Such thoughts did not stop so came out for a walk as a change of mood like this.

“Amelia, look. The river is visible. Shall we catch fish and grill and eat?”

“Still far until meal time, Paulen.”

“Well, how. With about one fish not even a signal to the liver.”

“That is because you.”

“Don’t go so negatively and look around and have a brighter heart a bit, Amelia. Look! The dense forest and the clearly flowing river! And the slime on the troll!...The slime on the troll?”

“Yes? Paulen? Suddenly what out of place sound...”

Amelia raised the head thinking Paulen is playing a prank.

Looking at Paulen really making a flustered expression, turned the gaze toward the place he is looking.

And.

Poyong!

Amelia saw the troll’s corpse flowing riding the river and the slime on it.
