Chapter 39

Next Saintess (1)

The slime’s mood that was listless because unintentionally parted with the Godric Party gradually improved.

The speed flowing with the strong current was the same but thanks to the scenery visible after escaping the cliff section stimulating and satisfying the slime’s curiosity.

Unlike the blue elf forest dense with trees, trees moderately there and rocks peculiarly carved by the influence of the strong current.

Clean water less touched by human hands and the fish flowing below it.

‘Waa!’

The slime was resolving the gloomy mood while sightseeing the new environment until the current weakens.

In the meantime, the viewers watching the broadcast decreased.

From the slime’s standpoint the new scenery is fresh, but in the viewers’ eyes it is nothing more than similar scenery continuously passing!

Since became a broadcast of just floating down not mukbang nor directly passing, viewers going to watch other broadcasts increased.

Watching the slime’s broadcast sightseeing while riding on the Lesser Troll in the flowing current was about the joker who became the manager.

Time continued to flow and night passed.

The current weakened a lot, but since there was no suitable place to get off, the slime was continuing to watch the flowing scenery.

It was then.

‘Person!’

A woman wearing white clothes and a man wearing armor were visible.

Poyong!

The slime jumped once on the Lesser Troll joyful at the fact of meeting a person.

Meanwhile, the woman and man flustered looking at the slime.

Amelia and Paulen were blinking eyes and looking at the slime.

“Paulen, why is there a slime on the troll!?”

“That I also don’t know.”

“Moreover that, is it not a troll but Lesser Troll?”

At Amelia’s words, Paulen calmed the surprised heart and started observation.

Thought a troll looking at the skin color, but looking in detail the body was smaller than a troll.

“Really a Lesser Troll. Will confirm.”

“Confirm? What confirmation?”

“Have to confirm whether that Lesser Troll properly died. Cannot just stay.”

“B, be careful! Sh, shall I cast a blessing?”

“No, okay. Amelia please stay here.”

Paulen approached before the Lesser Troll completely flows down the river.

Entered the river with weak current and Paulen caught the Lesser Troll’s arm.

‘This is completely dead.’

Since no reaction at all, Paulen judged the Lesser Troll died.

Poyong!

“Why on earth are you on this?”

Still not knowing why the slime is on, but Paulen first dragged the Lesser Troll’s arm and came out of the river.

And naturally the slime on the Lesser Troll also came out of the river and landed on the floor.

Poyong!

“Paulen, how?”

“Rest assured, Amelia. As you see this guy is already dead. Moreover seems the Lesser Troll we were trying to subjugate.”

“Really? But the Lesser Troll is in a village that has to go several more days ahead?”

Paulen said looking at the river.

“This is speculation. Near the village reported that there is a Lesser Troll, there is a place where a strong current flows. Probably this Lesser Troll fell from the cliff and was swept by the current and died.”

“Does that make sense?”

“Besides that, nothing particular comes to mind. Even if Lesser Troll also regenerates, large wounds are not visible on this corpse.”

The wound caved in by the slime was regenerated before drowning and did not show.

“Then this slime?”

“I also don’t know that well. Really why this slime was on...”

The two looking at the slime with puzzled gazes.

The slime just jumped poyong poyong joyful at meeting a new person.

Meanwhile.

‘No, why is the saintess appearing!?’

The joker who saw Amelia and Paulen through the broadcast screen was greatly surprised.

Since traveled with saintess Frecia early for black dragon subjugation, the joker knew the saint’s clothes that only the saintess can wear very well.

A woman wearing the saint’s clothes and a holy knight wearing silver armor with gold patterns engraved.

Even a paladin that cannot be appointed unless skilled among holy knights as escort so if not the saintess, rather strange.

Since the passed years are years, the next saintess coming out was not strange.

The problem was why the saintess is in such a place.

‘Could it be a new calamity like the black dragon appeared? But haven’t seen a monster that goes to the Dersia continent and makes a mess yet...’

The joker first decided to continue watching the situation.

‘Saintess! Armor! Knight! Clothes! The same!’

Poyong! Poyong!

The slime was excited looking at Amelia and Paulen.

Because Amelia’s outfit was the same as the saintess’s outfit that came out in the illustration of the biography of the heroes who subjugated the black dragon that Jessie read.

And the holy knight.

Paulen wearing thick armor as a paladin also reminded of the knight that was in Count Ludendion’s mansion.

“Paulen, why is this slime continuously jumping?”

“Even I cannot know up to the slime’s heart, Amelia. More than that, something to decide from now arose.”

Paulen looked at the Lesser Troll’s corpse and continued words.

“Whether to go to the village that said the Lesser Troll appeared like this.”

“Is Paulen sure that this Lesser Troll is the monster that was in that village?”

“Honestly only that makes sense. Lesser Trolls are rarer to see than trolls.”

“Is that really?”

“Yes. Heard that Lesser Trolls have more fear than trolls so do not actively act.”

Tang!

‘That’s not it!’

The joker who was watching hit the desk with both hand bones and refuted only in the heart.

Lesser Trolls were few in number visible just because the evolution of trolls.

The joker also knew this fact only after becoming a lich, so could understand Paulen’s wrong common sense.

But as a mage, wrong knowledge being spoken like common sense like this could not help but itch.

“Moreover, no way the Lesser Troll drowned in ordinary water. Unless falling in a place with quite strong current, no way dies like this.”

“I see...”

At Paulen’s words, Amelia was immersed in thought.

Paulen who is her escort holy knight and paladin.

Since his judgment who has fought numerous monsters until now, high probability of being fact.

The Lesser Troll is already dead.

But if going to the village unnecessarily and saying discovered the Lesser Troll swept by the current, how would it be?

[Um... th, thank you, saintess.]

In Amelia’s thought, an awkward situation seemed to come out.

‘Anyway the Lesser Troll disappearing, the village people will know right away after a few days!’

Going and informing such an obvious fact would rather be bothersome? On top of that, since herself or the saintess, rather the saintess coming directly so the village people would not be intimidated?

At least if herself, would think so.

Amelia resolved and looked at Paulen.

“Paulen, sorry.”

“Hahaha! No need to be sorry to me! Then hurriedly.”

“Let’s return to the Holy City.”

“Yes! To the village... to the Holy City?”

“Already subjugated but if the saintess goes directly to the village just to report that, the village people will surely be awkward! Really sorry for making useless steps!”

‘Thinking like that again.’

Paulen sighed inwardly.

The Amelia he has seen until now is surely kind in nature, but low in self-esteem.

Yet sees the position of saintess very high and was a woman who watches how others think according to the actions of herself who is the saintess.

However.

The problem was thinking that reaction from the standpoint of low self-esteem self.

‘Seems already resolved.’

On top of that, once deciding the stubbornness is great so even if saying just go to the village now, knew well that Amelia would unfold own claim and not listen.

“Understood. Then let’s do this.”

Paulen took out the sword and cut the Lesser Troll’s neck in half at once.

And opened the pocket worn at the waist and put the Lesser Troll’s head inside it.

A size that would not even enter thinking of the pocket’s size.

However, the Lesser Troll’s head entered the pocket sok.

The pocket Paulen has was not an ordinary pocket.

A portable space pocket that can be said the essence of space magic very difficult to make.

It was an inventory.

‘Waa!’

And the slime that directly saw that scene trembled the body at the fact of seeing something new again.

“Let’s take this head as evidence and report. And if spreading the talk that the Lesser Troll was subjugated in the Holy City, the village will also naturally know.”

“Good, let’s do so.”

Amelia who actively agreed to Paulen’s proposal headed to the Holy City together with Paulen as is.

Poyong! Poyong!

“...Paulen.”

“Yes, Amelia.”

“Why is that slime following us?”

“I also don’t know.”

Amelia and Paulen stopped steps and turned back.

Poyong!

Still the slime was jumping poyong poyong behind them.

“Wanting to follow?”

“Seems so.”

Amelia knelt and looked down at the slime and said.

“Want to follow?”

‘Yeah!’

Poyong!

“...Did it answer?”

“Please don’t ask even that to me.”

Amelia thought the slime answered and continued words.

“Sorry but no, the place we will go from now is the Holy City.”

‘Holy City!’

“Even if a slime, if taking a monster you will be in danger...”

Poyong!

“Kyek!”

The slime jumped high and went up on the head of the squatting Amelia at once.

“What? Why did you go up?”

“Kheup!”

The slime that went up on the white nun’s hat.

That appearance looking funny yet cute, Paulen’s laughter popped out in an instant.

“Paulen! Don’t laugh and do something somehow!”

“Sorry, Amelia. Please stay still.”

Paulen tried to stretch the hand toward the slime.

Then.

Burrurrurur!

The slime started trembling on Amelia’s head.

“Ueeeeee!?”

Amelia flustering even more at the sudden vibration.

‘Wait, this...!’

“Amelia!?”

Paulen was surprised and tried to catch the slime right away.

But.

“Wa, wait! Paulen! Stop!”

“Yes?”

“Th, this! Feels good. Just good...”

“What?”

The vibration doing on Amelia was not an ordinary vibration.

A vibration that displayed the technique obtained while giving massage to Jessie, Nina, and other servants while spending time in the Ludendion mansion.

Especially the one doing this time was the vibration pattern that had the best reputation when doing on the head.

A vibration that shakes the head with appropriate vibration and shakes off miscellaneous worries and refreshes the mood.

“A feeling of the anxiety that only piled up uselessly shaking off, Paulen.”

“Really?”

Looking at Amelia smiling at the mouth even while unbelievable, Paulen was endlessly absurd.

“Paulen also receive.”

“No, I don’t particularly need...”

Poyong!

The slime moved from Amelia’s head to Paulen’s head.

“Huh!? Hey! Not coming down...”

Burrurrurur!

“Oh, oo!?”

As soon as the vibration started, Paulen’s hand that was about to detach the slime stopped.

And a short while later.

“Amelia, let’s take this guy.”

“Good thought!”

Paulen was conquered by the slime’s vibration.
