Chapter 7

Elf (2)

Elf.

A race that, like the humans that monsters hate, can never be said to be friendly with monsters.

The monsters that catch the system's eye are by no means only on the magic continent.

Though fewer in number than Monstopia, there are also monsters that caught the system's eye on the Dersia continent, and the magic continent monsters could also watch the broadcasts that those monsters broadcast.

While watching the broadcasts of the Dersia continent, monsters from the magic continent realize.

How much the humans of the Dersia continent treat monsters carelessly. And sometimes ‘elves or other races as well’ that form groups with humans and hunt monsters were no different from enemies for monsters.

“Die!”

“How much is this even?”

“Khehehe, this guy's leather and claws and all are money, you say?”

“Hey, leave that kid alive. Because we have to use it for display.”

Looking at the appearance of hunting monsters more than necessary, slaughtering, tormenting and enjoying, it is truly disgusting itself!

Therefore, looking at the reaction the elf showed to the slime, laughter could not help but burst out.

The elf did not even think of the slime as prey or as an enemy.

Just an attitude like dealing with a bothersome fly wandering nearby.

If comparing to monsters, it showed a reaction like a trivial existence that is reluctant because killing would dirty the hands, so roughly shakes the tail or legs to chase away.

In other words, it means that the slime was treated as that weak and shabby an existence. That burst the monsters' laughter.

Why?

Because it's not something I suffered directly!

If I myself suffered such treatment, I would get angry, but since it's not something I suffered!

On top of that, the slime's soft and pure atmosphere drew out such laughter even more.

▶Treated as total shabby lmao

▶Because it's a slime it's understandable hek lmao

▶Ack my stomach lmao

Those who were quietly watching the funny situation and then chatting swept up in the atmosphere also appeared sporadically.

However, when most viewers were laughing, there was one who was angry alone.

[Squishy Queen]▶That arrogant elf guy! How dare treat a member of my kind like that! Arrogant! Impudent!

[Noblesse Fire]▶Squishy got pissed lmao

That was none other than Squishy Queen.

The Slime Queen.

The Slime Queen also knows.

How much a still young slime is treated as weak and trivial.

The Slime Queen also experienced such things while growing.

Of course, at the time there was no intelligence so there were no particular thoughts or impressions. And now she had even less thought of getting angry over that matter.

However, seeing the member of her kind that she thinks special treated like that in front of her eyes, it was a feeling as if the core was boiling.

And such easy-to-understand anger was good teasing material for other troll viewers.

▶Scratched? lmao

▶Worth getting scratched but what can you do lmao

The Slime Queen who is angry trembled burrur at the anonymous chats that keep teasing.

‘If it was my room, I would have kicked right away!’

The Slime Queen resolved that when the slime grows a bit more, she must educate from the method of kicking trolls.

Meanwhile, the slime that is actually being treated as shabby did not feel anger at the elf's actions.

‘Elf!’

Rather, the curiosity that has not yet subsided made it want to know the elf more.

Poyong! Poyong!

The slime bounced cheerfully twice and approached the elf even more.

“No, I said go over there? What?”

If it was an ordinary slime, it would instinctively run away to another place just by waving the hand.

But a slime approaching it on the contrary, the elf was puzzled.

And a puzzling thing happened next.

The slime that approached suddenly stopped and started trembling its body burrur.

That was the trembling of joy from observing the elf up close and knowing new things.

But in the elf's eyes, it was an extremely strange reaction.

The elf looked at the slime and took out their own inference.

‘Is it hungry?’

In the elf's head, words a former colleague said in the past came to mind.

In some villages, they use slimes to process leftover food after eating.

In other words, it was that a slime can eat and digest almost anything.

The elf alternately looked at the blood that flowed from the deer and pooled on the floor and the slime.

“Hey, slime.”

The elf squatted and tapped the floor where the deer's blood pooled with the drawn arrow.

“This you can eat.”

▶Ack lmao

▶It says this you can eat lmao

▶I'm going crazy lmao

[Squishy Queen]▶This damn elf guy!!!!

Since the slime's interest was entirely focused on the elf, the noisy chat window did not enter its vision.

The place the elf pointed while taking the arrow and the words the elf said.

‘Eat? Can I eat?’

For the slime that has only eaten moss or grass instinctively, eating animal blood was something it hadn't even thought of.

This time not moving poyong poyong but moving as if slowly crawling, the slime approached the blood puddle.

And the slime that absorbed the deer's blood that touched right below it like eating moss.

Jjeuk jjeuk the deer's blood was absorbed into the slime's body.

“Really was hungry?”

[Squishy Queen]▶No, why are you eating that, member of my kind!!!

[Noblesse Fire]▶Kk lmao really ate when told to eat lmao

[Gothic Luxury Bone]▶Squishy-nim doesn't seem to be picky.

[Just Ram and See]▶Animal blood is tasty though.

▶Want to try eating once?

▶Ah! Damn!

[Yarn Lady]▶Kyaang! The appearance of eating blood is also cute~!

The deer's blood was quickly decomposed as it was absorbed by the slime.

Only a part of the floor becomes a little red.

There was no case of the slime's body being filled with the color of blood.

‘...!’

And the slime that absorbed the deer's blood felt a very wondrous sensation.

If the moss or grass eaten so far made its body peacefully normal, the blood absorbing now made strength surge from the inside.

Since the deer's blood holds more nutrients than grass, it was natural. That nutrition was instilling vitality into the slime.

What on earth is this sensation it feels?

When it had such a question, one chat entered the slime's vision.

▶Eating deliciously lmao

‘Delicious? Delicious!’

Words thrown while pondering.

The slime instinctively felt that those words perfectly match the sensation it is pondering now.

And the slime decided this sensation it feels as ‘delicious’.

The slime quickly absorbed the deer's blood formed on the floor.

Then it jumped poyong poyong in place as if proving the vitality overflowing in its body.

“Huh, really seems hungry?”

That scene looked to the elf as if it ate deliciously and got excited.

‘Cute?’

The appearance of the soft-looking slime jumping in place looked quite cute in the elf's eyes.

It doesn't look dangerous and each action was cute.

For the elf who had no particularly fun things recently, the slime was a target worth paying attention to sufficiently.

One thought came to such an elf.

‘The old ones will probably be noisy... Hey, that's something to worry about when the time comes.’

“Slime, do you want to follow me?”

‘Follow?’

At the elf's words, the slime stopped jumping in place.

The appearance of stopping jumping and tilting its soft body very slightly to the side reminded of the appearance of a person tilting their head.

‘Huh? It seems like it understands my words?’

At least to the extent that the elf thinks strangely.

“If you follow, I'll give more delicious things.”

‘Delicious things!’

At the sound of delicious things, the slime rejoiced and jumped in place again.

“Does that mean yes? Yes, if you understood, follow.”

The elf moved their steps with the deer whose blood was moderately drained on their shoulder, and the slime moved poyong poyong following behind the elf.

[Squishy Queen]▶No, why are you following, member of my kind!

▷Delicious things! I want to eat!

▶Really following because it says it will give delicious things lmao

[Just Ram and See]▶Body slam! When will you do the body slam I taught!

▶Isn't it really going to die like this?

▶Because it's a shabby slime, no value to attack lmao

In the viewers' eyes, they did not think that the slime would be indiscriminately attacked even if it follows the elf.

Because they saw directly that it is regarded as too trivial!

On top of that, the viewers were also curious.

The place the elf is taking the slime is the habitat where the elf lives.

It was an opportunity to know how those who always attacked and tried to hunt just by seeing them live.

In the current situation where similar broadcasts are scattered, one can try an elf village tour that no one has done until now.

Expectations for new broadcast content even made those who troll quiet.

New fun content?

Can't resist that!

+++

‘Really following well? It understands words, right?’

Elf.

Nellin glanced at the light-green slime chasing from behind while carrying the deer on her shoulder.

The slime chasing poyong! Poyong! cheerfully and cutely.

Nellin has seen several slimes while traveling, but a slime this energetic and with will felt was the first.

If saying a slime that felt a bit threatening, about the level of a slime inhabiting rugged remote areas that attacks people using several tentacles.

Compared to that slime, the slime following now was a very cute level.

Especially for Nellin who has experience hunting troublesome monsters together with colleagues once, the slime was truly no threat at all.

Around the time it gradually approaches the village, one worry came to Nellin.

‘It shouldn't get attacked first after following for no reason.’

Not herself, but another elf standing guard might shoot an arrow right away saying the slime is following.

Especially the elves standing guard are selected mainly from particularly diligent and stubborn elves.

Since she said to follow her, thinking that the slime might die pierced by an arrow right in front of the village made her mood unpleasant.

‘Is there no method?’

Nellin who stopped her steps squatted with the deer on her shoulder and reached out her hand to the slime.

‘If it really communicates...’

“Hey, slime. Do you want to ride on my hand? That will be more convenient later?”

At Nellin's proposal, the slime immediately jumped poyong and rode on the hand.

Rather than hearing the words that it's convenient, just a new living being.

It wanted to know what the feeling on the elf's hand is.

“Really understands?”

Wondering at the slime having intelligence, Nellin felt the slime's touch with her palm.

It was a soft yet slightly cool feeling that is pleasant to a certain extent.

When Nellin stood up again and tried to move, the slime trembled burrur to the extent of being a bit ticklish.

‘High! Waa!’

It was the trembling of the slime rejoicing at being able to see the scenery from a high viewpoint after seeing from a low viewpoint.

“Is it liking it?”

Nellin roughly guessing at a reaction similar to when it absorbed the deer blood.

Nellin who somehow also felt better moved her feet again.

A short while later.

And the elves standing guard at the village could not help but tilt their heads at the scene they saw.

The great hero of the elves approaching with a deer on her shoulder and a light-green slime on one hand.

“Nellin-nim?”

“Working hard today as well.”

“Yes. But what on earth is that slime on that hand?”

“Picked it up on the way.”

“Yes?”

“It looked unexpectedly smart. This guy, understands words?”

At the great hero's words that she picked up the slime on the way, the guard's head was confused.

“Huh? Trembling again? Why? What is good this time?”

On top of that, seeing even the appearance of the great hero talking to the slime, a headache rose.

“Nellin-nim, are you thinking of letting the slime into the village?”

“Yes. No? Anyway it's a slime so there's nothing dangerous.”

“That is so... but the elder will get angry.”

“Hey, even if it's the grandma, would she get angry over just this?”

+++

“Are you in your right mind!”

Nellin was greatly scolded by the elder.
