A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

― ― "Sole” was confused.

I couldn't understand what was happening to my body.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no intelligence, just instinct, like human beings, but even that instinct shows confusion.

Sole-Slime is a monster who eats everything.

Acts as instinctively commanded, eating people and monsters without distinction, and at the end eating trees, rocks, earth and even earth. That is the way a monster called Slime lives, and eating it can be said to be the significance of existence for Slime.

It is not a specific slide, but is also referred to as the "country eater", which refers to the whole slide. This is a nickname given by the fact that every slime reaches that region “as long as it grows”.

Of course, it is not easy to truly grow strong and powerful enough to eat a country. The threat of the slime is well known and hostile not only to humans but also to high monsters. It was not uncommon for them to be known and crushed before they grew up to some extent after the outbreak.

In that regard, the slime that occurred on the isolated island of Lake Mersena could be considered lucky.

Surrounded by water, there are no humans or monsters. Because you can safely and slowly build up your strength to make your body stronger and bigger.

At first, it was small, like a puddle. Still, he ate fish and monsters from Lake Mersena and enlarged his body.

--My body stopped moving there.

I didn't understand what happened, but my body stopped moving like a stone. The "nucleus" did not die because it was safe, but even if it tried to move the body, it could not move, forcing a rapid stagnation.

I realized that the cause of my inability to move was frozen by “someone” after how long it took me to be unable to move.

Still, I was able to absorb the ice that covered my body and its magic, slowly, but surely, enlarge my body.

Slime had no intellect - but instinctively felt that something frozen himself was weak.

If it stays this way, the ice will be unbound and you will be able to move as before. That way, you can act instinctively and make your giant body even bigger and stronger.

No one who manipulates powerful magic will be late for the higher monsters. It gets stronger if you flatten something that also prevented Kozaki from moving, flatten the trees on the isolated island, and gradually eat it around Lake Mersena.

Yes, I thought so.

"I'll take it."

Uncomprehensible as a slime, “something” appeared to eat the body.

The part that was scraped and eaten was slightly smaller, and the fact that it was eaten by itself was a shock even as a slime of instinct alone. You can't get tired of parts like shards alone, but you have to scrape them from end to end and your body will be eaten.

I can't express the emotions I learned at that time. I don't have the intelligence to understand what emotions I remember more than I did before.

Still, I thought.

Unlike the fish and monsters that have been randomly flattened, the “something” is the enemy.

"Water... spirits... no, ice? It's like Salamander's Sara-chan... but even if it had to be Sara-chan, if it had to be her name... hmm..."

Three days have passed since we reached the island of Lake Mersena.

Today and today, Reurus sits on the beach and leans his neck as he pushes the skin of the sliced slime into his stomach.

I told you to give the blue girl a name, but I can't think of a pin name.

I think it is probably a spiritual spirit, but I can't judge it as a spiritual spirit with the confirmation that I don't understand it.

In Sarah's case, the cheap and straight name disappeared from her mouth because she met at the altar of the Spirit of Fire, but at that time Sarah tried to force it to appear and asked Reurus about her name without any explanation.

And Reurus accepted and revealed the name Sarah that he had spoken of. With the “one-sided" "contract", which seemed troublesome as a realuse at the time.

The blue girl has already appeared, and nothing will happen if Reurus gives her a name. In the first place, the "contract" will be accepted by both sides and will be formally effective for the first time.

While swallowing the skin of the slime, Reurus looks at the girl dancing on the lake surface of Lake Mersena to freeze the slime.

As always, the expression is close to the real face, but compared to the first time I saw it, is it just an illusion of the eyes or is it because I am accustomed to Reurus?

The girl flips her blue coat and steps, freezing the slime to prevent it from melting. The cold air reached the sandy beach, but the revus, which felt the magic released by the girl, raised its eyebrows small.

(Sure it's less magic... about half less than when we first met?

The girl is not freezing the whole body of the slime, she is only freezing the melting part. Zilba says the slime is resistant to flame magic and ice magic, but it consumes a lot of magic to freeze it.

The place called Lake Mersena makes her do that, and the girl's magic recovers fast. However, the magic consumed was greater than the magic recovered.

(I wish you could give me my magic....)

The magic of Reurus has been restored by eating slime for about three days while sleeping. Instead, it seems like more magic has been accumulated than ever before, but there is no way to pass on the magic of the core.

If the girl were a spiritual, she would be able to make a contract, but Reurus doesn't know how to make a contract.

Elizabeth had already accepted Elizabeth, so a "contract" was made without any resistance, but Sarah initially refused. I hate to say this, but it was Sarah who was forced to reveal the name "Sarah", the magic of Reurus, and the fact that she unilaterally signed a "contract".

Eventually a formal "contract" was concluded, but the mood of Reus, who decided that he was possessed by a strange fire spirit, was somewhat complicated.

(Can I declare it in words like I did in Eliza and Sarah? But I can't ignore her will....)

She helped herself, but her attitude, which continued to prevent the unknown threat of slime, seemed dazzling. “That's all," he says, but he keeps freezing the slime to the limit, even though there's nothing in particular he wants to protect and no one has forced him to.

I can already see the bottom of the girl's magic. If we keep this up, the girl will be right and the slime's "shackles” will come off. If Reurus had arrived five days late on the island, the girl would have died out of her magic.

In that case, I would have been submerged and dead without meeting her.

The weather has stabilized here recently, so we may have arrived without any trouble at our destination, Valdi, in the first place.

--It is possible that there was the worst trouble with a giant slime coming.

"It's fate....."

The word destiny that the girl spoke of. He put it into his mouth, and Reurus smiled bitterly.

"... did something fun happen?

"Thinking about your daughter's name...? If I had a kid, I'd be worried about this."

You've frozen the slime, or the girl approaches with a strange face. Reus answered it with a smile, and threw the skins of the slime into his mouth and swallowed them all.

"Children?"

"Ah, it's funny that I'm not too old to have kids like my daughter... Sorry, forget it. I wouldn't be stylish if I had a kid like you."

……

It is not strange to include the previous life, but it is too unusual to think in this life alone. Reurus slightly pulled his cheeks when he put a clip into his remarks.

There weren't any children in the last lifetime.

No matter how tired you were from the hard work of the day, you can't forget that you had a child. I can't answer if you ask me the name of three generations ago's prime minister.

"Is your name that important?

"That's important. In my case, it's the only thing my dead parents left me."

To be precise, they also sent me a position as a serf, but I didn't intend to blame my parents for that.

"What kind of name would your daughter like? Would it be better if it were easy to understand and call? Or would you prefer a personalized name?

"... a simple name?

"Or a simple name... don't question your taste."

She doesn't mind giving her a name. It's not that I'm ridiculous, but did you acknowledge the necessity because someone named Reurus appeared where the girl lived alone?

(If it wasn't a spirit, it wouldn't be a joke... but a spirit that might have something to do with water or ice... I don't know. Uhh... uhh... uhhh... uhhhh? Something's missing. Unedine? I think it's getting closer....)

Reurus desperately catches the memory of the previous life, which has become worn out. I was never dragged by Salamander Sara-chan, but Reurus doesn't think he has a sense of name.

For this reason, I tried to use the name "it seems” from the memory of the previous life, but I couldn't remember it immediately.

"... hmm?

It's a revulsion that keeps eating the skin of a slime in trouble, but it picks up a sound like it's crumbling a dead tree and raising its face.

No girl stepped into the woods, and no monsters or humans appeared without feeling a sign. Naturally, the dead tree didn't break by itself.

The moment I heard the sound, I threw out the skin of the slime and grabbed the "Dragon Slash" pattern, but I tilted my neck looking around.

"I'm not mistaken..."

"I heard it too."

When Reurus asks the girl, she nods back. Reurus looked around for the source of the sound-and he heard something cracking with pachipaki.

Reurus stood up immediately to the sound he heard on the wind. The dragon slash, which was never returned to the sheath that had been removed, was held in both hands and gazed at the lake surface of Lake Mersena.

To be precise, I turned to the slime that was iced on the lake surface.

"Lie... why..."

The blue girl murmurs that she can't believe it. The girl was also looking at the slime, but her eyes were surprisingly wide open.

Reurus feels the rapidly rising magic and draws his cheeks in magnificence. Beyond the gaze, there is a slime that starts to move regardless of "torn body".

"Whoa... really?"

The slime broke out of the ice shackle two days earlier than the girl had expected.
