Workshop Life (7)
The slime knew about the object Kkanjuk unfolded.
[Mallang]▶It’s a map!
▶Map? What is that?
▶Wait here! What is a map? It’s something humans separately drew the terrain of a specific region as a picture!
▶Humans are drawing all sorts of things. Just going and remembering is enough right?
The map Kkanjuk took out was a map representing only the Dersia continent.
Pointing place by place with the hand bone Kkanjuk started explaining.
▷Here is the blue elf forest where Mallang-nim was at first.
▷Here is the place where it lived together with Jessie.
▷Here is the village where it was together with those 4 humans.
▷Here is the Holy City where it was together with Amelia, here is the Magic Tower.
[Mallang]▶Jessie! Village! Holy City! Magic Tower!
The slime was happy learning the places it was through the map.
▶What, drawn this closely?
▶Isn’t it originally like that?
▶More than that where should Mallang go?
▶Isn’t that nest big human mansion good? Food places are so many.
[Thread Lady]▶Isn’t the place where that human called Amelia is the best? They suddenly parted.
[Just Stick It In and See]▶If calculating that the place where those 4 humans are is first! If with them Mallang can headbutt a lot!
The viewers started arguing again about the place the slime should go.
Ignoring them Kkanjuk said to the slime with flame speech.
[Mallang-nim, for now can’t move to the Holy City where Amelia is or the Magic Tower. If going that way right away Mallang-nim will be in danger.]
No matter how the circulating rumors didn’t mention the slime or Gracie it couldn’t be said to be completely safe.
Especially at the Magic Tower there is Brooks Besilja who tried to kill the slime with only his greed, and at the Holy City Amelia or Paulen would have finished the report.
So the high priests of the great church might suspect that the slime might have some relation with himself the lich.
Meeting humans in places distant from the Holy City or Magic Tower while the slime wanders is safe but directly going to those two places is dangerous Kkanjuk thought.
Therefore Kkanjuk stimulated Mallang’s curiosity.
[If possible how about a new place not yet gone?]
‘New place!’
Kkanjuk’s attempt was effective on the slime.
The slime looked at the map in more detail.
The Rudendion count territory, blue elf forest, Magic Tower, Holy City felt gathered nearby when seen on the map.
On the Dersia continent map other regions besides what the slime had gone were also marked.
Going up from the Holy City the capital.
Going further up from the capital the marked snow mountain region.
Conversely looking down the especially active monster (live demon) region even on the Dersia continent.
Looking right differently from the Holy City, Magic Tower, capital marked large with several lines drawn a region where several nobles divide territories entered the slime’s eyes.
The slime’s gaze turned toward the vicinity of the north and south and east not yet gone.
The curiosity of wanting to know new things stimulated the slime.
But the slime was different from the beginning when it was just full of curiosity.
The slime met various humans.
And became close with them.
Nellin.
Jessie, Nina, Pin.
Godric, Hawein, Sgol, Dep.
Amelia, Paulen.
Gracie.
While meeting various humans it came to know various things, felt enjoyment and the act of being together with them itself was enjoyable.
Therefore inside the slime at some point this desire was also born.
Wanting to feel the joy of knowing new things together with the humans close to itself too.
Wanting to meet them again.
Therefore the slime after moving its gaze from the region seen for the first time.
‘Here!’
The forest located in a position fallen in the downward direction from the Magic Tower in terms of the map.
Coincidentally pointed to the forest about 5 days away by carriage from the Colosseum.
[Mallang]▶Want to go here!
That forest is clearly a place gone for the first time, but when seen on the map it didn’t look greatly separated from the places the slime had passed.
The slime vaguely thought.
If exploring here and continuing to move it will meet the humans it parted with again.
A vague thought with no basis at all but the slime didn’t doubt its own thought.
▷Here?
[Mallang]▶Yes! Want to do here!
Kkanjuk was puzzled why the slime decided on this forest.
The corresponding forest was a place where reasonably strong monsters appear.
The so-called lightning forest where C~B rank monsters inhabit.
Because the lightning-like matter of going to catch C-rank monsters and unintentionally meeting B-rank monsters frequently happens, it was a name given among adventurers.
‘Lightning forest... With Mallang’s current skill it’s not bad.’
From what Kkanjuk saw, the current slime had the skill to sufficiently face even if several B-rank monsters rush in.
Originally a bounce slime hard to discover.
But an ordinary bounce slime is not a monster that strong.
That was because it’s merely a slime whose specialty is jumping stronger and farther using elasticity.
However the slime before the eyes was different.
Because it has intelligence it not only more actively utilizes its characteristics, but the slime that grew and even trained while regularly ingesting various nutritious foods possessed completely different strength from ordinary slimes.
Moreover it’s a slime that obtained high quality real combat experience through sparring with the paladin Paulen much stronger than itself, and the lich Kkanjuk.
There was no way such a slime would lose against wild B-rank monsters of a level that can’t use the system.
‘If it seems too dangerous I’ll just help.’
Kkanjuk who had been shut in the secret workshop for over 30 years continuously.
But since going outside every day for the slime’s meals for a month, the rejection toward going outside disappeared.
▷Got it. Then tomorrow I’ll send to this vicinity.
[Mallang]▶Yes!
+++
The next day.
Kkanjuk gave the slime breakfast and as promised decided to send the slime outside the secret workshop.
[Mallang-nim, ready?]
‘Yes!’
Boing!
[Then I’ll move.]
Kkanjuk used warp magic and moved to the lightning forest together with the slime.
‘Wow! Outside!’
At the green outside scenery seen after a month the slime was happy.
Not the hard secret workshop floor but the texture of softer dirt and grass was transmitted to the slime after a long time.
[Mallang-nim, I’ll go now. If it seems dangerous I’ll come again so don’t worry.]
‘Yes! Kkanjuk! Thank you!’
Boing! Boing!
When Kkanjuk used warp magic and returned to the secret workshop again, the slime turned on its own broadcast after a long time.
The title was precisely [I’ll meet!]
A title made containing the reunion with the humans it parted with.
[Soft Queen]▶Finally turned on the broadcast, my kin!
The first to enter the room was Soft Queen who had been continuously waiting.
[Noblesse Fire]▶Finally came out of the gloomy Kkanjuk nest.
▶Real so dark and gloomy.
▶Kkanjuk sh*t’s appearance is originally like that lolol
▶[Anonymous2214 has been kicked.]
[Free Spirit]▶I’m still the manager.
▶Ack lololol.
▶Power is still there lolol be careful with the mouth lolol.
The slime that continuously saw the viewers’ chats through Kkanjuk’s broadcast.
But still the chat room seen in the broadcast it directly turned on felt a bit different.
[Just Stick It In and See]▶But what are you going to do now, Mallang.
▷Will move! Want to wander around!
The outside come out after a long time.
The slime first decided to wander around as much as it wants and decide the next action.
Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing!
Vigorously bouncing its body the slime crossed the lightning forest.
[Thread Lady]▶Kyaaaaak! The excitedly moving Mallang-nim is also too~ cute~.
[Soft Queen]▶My kin! No matter how excited don’t loosen the guard!
▶Kyaa! This is it! Finally feeling the sense of speed!
▶Ah! Speed X!
No matter how excitedly moving the slime wasn’t moving recklessly either.
Since not much time has passed since eating breakfast, no need to deliberately knock down monsters.
So Mallang used detection and moved changing directions in the middle so as not to encounter monsters.
Anyway monsters can just be knocked down when hungry!
Rather the slime placed interest on moving in various ways.
Pop!
Zuuuuuk~!
Originally the slime that just jumped boing boing and moved.
But this time it started moving using tentacles.
The slime that took out tentacles and extended toward tree branches and wrapped them, then the moment it moved forward like a swing recovered the tentacles and extended to other tree branches and moved.
Buung!
Buung!
‘Fun!’
Freely displaying the technique of grabbing part of a golem and jumping over, or dodging Paulen’s sword the slime moved enjoyably.
▶What is that again lolol.
▶No, not jumping boing boing what are you moving like a monkey lolol.
[Gothic Luxury Bone]▶Seems it wanted to use tentacles a lot.
[Noblesse Fire]▶Moving so weirdly.
[Soft Queen]▶What’s weird! If a slime it should of course know how to use tentacles too!
▶Then have you moved like that?
[Soft Queen]▶Shut up!
▶lolololol.
[Thread Lady]▶The appearance of using tentacles is also too cute~.
▶What on earth is not cute about you?
[Thread Lady]▶You.
▶Ack lololol.
▶No, dissing here?
The chat window becoming much more active thanks to the slime’s broadcast turned on after a long time.
The slime also glancing at the active chat window somehow felt enjoyable.
It was such a time.
‘Huh? A person!’
A human presence was felt in the slime’s detection.
But what was felt wasn’t only the human’s presence.
Several monsters’ presences were felt around the human.
The monsters’ presences were in the middle of approaching toward the human.
‘Dangerous!’
The slime stopped the movement using tentacles, changed to the most confident way of jumping boing boing and moving then moved following the presence.
[Noblesse Fire]▶What, why suddenly coming back?
▷Person! There is! Dangerous!
▶There’s a human?
▶How is there a human wherever it goes lolol.
▶Since it’s the Dersia continent isn’t it natural?
[Soft Queen]▶Going to a place with humans this time too, my kin! Sometimes living alone is also good right!
▶Look at trembling for fear of getting NTR’d by kin again lolol.
[Soft Queen]▶Who is trembling!
▷Person! Dangerous now!
Eventually the slime arrived at the place where the presence was felt.
-Grrrr!
“Ugh...”
In the slime’s field of vision the situation only felt by presence was clearly recognized.
A girl with white silver hair ears and tail, yellow eyes was sitting leaning on a tree with blood flowing from shoulder and thigh.
And around her several monsters were approaching revealing teeth and dripping saliva.
The girl in crisis surrounded by monsters.
That girl was precisely the winner of the Colosseum and the girl who requested teaching from Nellin.
Claire.
‘Dangerous!’
Booyong!
The slime that used bounce tackle flew toward the monsters surrounding the girl.
