Next Saintess (4)

“Really a slime that understands people’s words...”

Paulen was dazed looking quietly at the slime.

If not understanding people’s words, no way would give massage to Amelia’s shoulder hearing Frecia’s request.

Paulen tried giving several instructions to the slime half-believing even seeing directly with the eyes.

Move this way, try massaging here, if understanding words jump about 3 times.

Looking at the appearance of fulfilling all the things said for the test not once, Amelia and Frecia also had no choice but to admit that the slime has intelligence enough to understand words.

And the viewers who were continuously watching that process burst into laughter.

▶lmao doing this again.

▶Human bastards lmao must think only themselves are smart lmao

▶Stupid guys who can’t even use the system lmao

Because continuously saw the reaction of monsters having intelligence!? through the slime’s broadcast, the viewers were feeling a kind of ‘ppong’.

[Squishy Queen]▶Displeasing! Though for confirmation, commanding the same kind!

▶You also don’t do tricks with the slime in the broadcast?

[Squishy Queen]▶I am the queen so okay!

[Yarn Lady]▶I like too much being able to see Squishy-nim moving cutely~.

[Just Ram and See]▶When fighting. Quickly display more of what I taught!

When various opinions were coming out in the chat window.

Frecia was seeing hope in the slime.

‘With this slime, perhaps... what I thought might really be realized.’

Only this slime might be special.

But, nothing and even one existing had completely different meaning.

“Amelia.”

“Yes, saintess Frecia.”

“This child holds a large possibility. So don’t separate from the side and get along well. If you, surely possible.”

Gulp Amelia swallowed saliva in tension.

Not just the level of having intelligence, a monster that communicates.

Amelia also knew well how not ordinary that existence is.

The slime brought with an impulsive heart to think was a monster holding such a large secret.

However, that did not mean could say ‘too much for me!’ with burden now.

“Yes.”

‘Will our saintess be okay.’

Looking at the appearance of Amelia full of tension beside, Paulen became worried.

“Tongtongi...”

“Damn.”

The Godric Party returned to the village and was drinking alcohol feeling resentment and powerlessness.

As soon as seeing the slime and the Lesser Troll falling to the cliff, Def, Godric, Sgol hurriedly looked down below the cliff.

But flowed far away in the strong current and could not even confirm a proper appearance.

Even trying to go below the cliff there is no method and even if somehow went, already finding the slime is an impossible situation.

In the end, the Godric Party had no choice but to take only the evidence of subjugating the Lesser Troll and go down to the village.

The village people rejoiced.

Finally the Lesser Troll disappeared.

On top of that not one but two!

The village chief thanked the Godric Party and tried to hold a humble thanksgiving banquet, but the Godric Party refused that banquet.

The village chief could not understand at first why they are depressed.

Then realized that the slime that was together with them is gone.

Could not understand why like that with only the slime disappearing, but the quick-witted village chief did not ask back unnecessarily and accepted the Godric Party’s opinion.

“Sorry, because I let down the guard...”

Hawein blamed himself lowering the head without even smiling.

But Godric said shaking the head.

“No, not your fault. In that situation could not help it. If blaming... have to blame that we are weak.”

Godric realized through this matter.

How much they have relied on the slime.

Of course the Godric Party had also become stronger than before through various requests.

But that was the level of becoming stronger in a state where the slime is there.

In subjugation requests the Godric Party was only at the level of assisting and the main dealer was always the slime.

And that result was this.

Looking at the suddenly appeared Lesser Troll, the body stiffened without even properly preparing.

Saved the life thanks to the slime’s help.

“U, uuuu... Tongtongi...”

Def was saddened at the parting with the slime while sniffling tears.

Since lived closest with the slime, the empty place was too large for Def.

“Iik! Don’t cry, this fool!”

Slap!

Sgol hit Def’s forearm and threw a temper.

“Yet! Yet not even confirmed that Tongtongi guy died!”

“But...”

“What but but! Hawein too! Uh! Hyung-nim also why already thinking that guy died?!”

Sgol ground teeth and seemed tears would flow soon but endured with stubbornness and said.

“From the beginning is Tongtongi guy an ordinary slime? Huh? An absurd strange slime! Attack also strangely strong! Jumps extremely high! Even glows at night! No way such a guy dies easily!

And no way the slime drowns! Surely... surely around now came out of the water and jumping poyong poyong stupidly!”

Sgol getting angry smirk smirk.

In those words, anger toward self along with earnestness was soaked.

“...Yes. Cannot just cry like this.”

Godric resolved and stood up from the spot.

“Kids, when tomorrow comes immediately return to the guild.”

“Hy, hyung-nim?”

“As Sgol said. No way Tongtongi dies easily. Surely living well even now. So when returning to the guild, immediately spread flyers looking for Tongtongi.”

“Flyers?”

“Will that work?”

“Think there will be more such rare slimes besides Tongtongi? Moreover if Tongtongi guy, follows people well so will be able to get close quickly even if meeting other guys.”

At Godric’s words Hawein nodded and Def agreed.

“If Tongtongi’s personality, gets close quickly.”

“T, Tongtongi is extremely kind!”

“Moreover is Tongtongi a guy who would obediently get hit even if attacked? If dangerous will avoid right away.”

Sgol jumped once in place and agreed.

“Right! How agile that guy is!”

As the conversation continued, the Godric Party started believing that the slime is alive without dying.

Because even thinking calmly, clearly not a slime that dies easily.

“Then rest fully today and from tomorrow move to find Tongtongi. Of course... when meeting that guy again, training to become strong so that guy does not cause such a thing! Understood!”

““Yes! Hyung-nim!””

The Godric Party’s vigorous shout rang loudly in the village’s tavern.

“Grandma, I will go outside the forest for a while.”

“What sound is that on earth! Nellin-nim!”

The elf elder received a shock like suddenly being struck by lightning from the sky at Nellin’s sudden declaration.

“Going outside the forest! Didn’t you go to the Ludendion count’s territory last time too!”

“Yes. So that.”

One week since returning from the Ludendion count’s territory.

During that time Nellin was immersed in thought at her house.

Directly heard the talk about the slime from Count Ludendion, and heard the life with the slime named Alexandros the 2nd from his daughter Jessie Ludendion.

Only talks that cannot be thought as an ordinary slime.

Likes being read books, good at massage, friendly to people, understands letters the slime.

The more hearing, seemed like hearing a talk about an unknown treasure.

On top of that this time Nellin personally told Jessie the story that was 50 years ago.

Of course extracting too blatant all-over-the-place episodes as Count Ludendion requested.

Jessie’s eyes sparkled hearing the vivid story that was not yet written in the biography directly.

Nellin also did not dislike that gaze.

Rather liked it.

Even if trying to tell the story to the elves in the village, often leave to do their own work saying already heard the story.

In the middle of talking fun after a long time.

The words Jessie asked shining eyes deeply stuck in Nellin’s heart.

“Then when will Nellin-nim embark on the next travel?”

“Next travel?”

“Yes! Not a travel to defeat the calamity but just a travel wandering the world! If a hero like Nellin-nim, just wandering will leave various legends!”

“Leaving legends just by wandering. Hahaha! Isn’t it raising too much?”

“No way! Nellin-nim has outstanding character and skill combined! Various incidents are surely happening a lot in the world even now! Even if Nellin-nim lightly resolves while passing, surely a legend will be written!”

“Is that so? Hahaha! This, speaking prettily?”

“I am just saying the facts!”

Nellin also knows to the extent that the words Jessie said are just saying because longing for herself.

But even knowing that, continued to circle in the head even after returning to the village.

“Just a travel without purpose...”

Thinking, Nellin had not gone outside the forest herself in the recent 50 years.

What there is is about when invited or participating in a funeral when a colleague dies.

“By the way, this bored but couldn’t think of just going out.”

Too familiar with being in the village so even if boring, could not even recall the option of leaving for travel alone.

Counting, nothing that cannot be done even if Nellin leaves the forest.

Even if Nellin leaves for travel, no case of direct danger befalling the village.

Even after leaving for black dragon subjugation the calamity and returning, the elf village was perfectly fine.

‘If there is one thing that bothers.’

Only the elder’s nagging.

Therefore, Nellin thought of the excuse to put out to the elder for a week and was in this place now.

Nellin said to the flustered elder.

“What sound, trying to leave for travel wandering the world for a while.”

“Why saying such words. You are the elf’s hero! If a hero, must show an example to the village’s elves.”

“No, frankly speaking grandma. Do our village kids respect me? Even if I say will tell old stories, all scatter saying bothersome.”

“Ahem! I will firmly tell that later.”

“No, no. Must not do so. Forcing is not good, grandma. Rather better I bring new story material.”

“New story material?”

“Would the world have changed because 50 years passed? Of course various things would be happening. I uh? Wandering and also giving help to people in trouble and showing face a bit the kids will know that I am still active.”

“Even without doing such things Nellin-nim is sufficiently...”

‘Now!’

“Moreover grandma... something is not ordinary.”

“Not ordinary?”

“A ominous feeling like 50 years. So better to move first.”

“If 50 years ago, could it be...!”

“Would I say going out for no reason? Until now stayed gently in the village? So grandma, will go and come.”

Of course talk.

The ominous talk Nellin said was a lie.
