A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 651: Negotiations with Slime. 5
"Hello Wow."
"Takeo, I'm sorry.
The evening fog comes apologizing with the Elder Moon Slime lying down to greet me brightly.
"Takeo... sorry.
I also say I feel sorry for the first snow.
"Ha, you're fine.
Takeo flaunts back.
I came to Takeo and the others with the first snow that Evening Fog met yesterday and one last Elder Moon Slime that I didn't see yesterday, but it was in this tone at opening number one.
"In the meantime, shall we sit down and talk?
"Yes."
When the evening fog sits next to Takeo, a healthy one and the first snow sit next to it.
"So, this... Elder Moon Slime is the one left?
"Yes."
"I hear you named Yugiri and Hatsuyuki, suss.
I want it, too. "
"Even if I put it on?
"Greed!
An unnamed Elder Moon Slime rises.
"So... um... do you want it to rain hourly?
"" "Sigre!
Three Elder Moon Slime says at the same time.
"Hourly rain refers to rain that falls or stops around the end of autumn and the beginning of winter.
"Ooh! Yugiri! Hatsuyuki! I'm going to be Sigres!
"Congratulations, Sigre.
"Oh.
Bless with no expression as evening mist and first snow look up at the clouds and rains.
"Yeah, yeah. ♪ Big blessing. Ugh!
"Good for you.
I say the first snow is pale.
"Now we have a name.
From now on, as we each call it by name.
"Okay.
"Got it.
First snow and hourly rain nod at the declaration of evening mist.
"Well, you've decided on a name.
I will return the morning mist once.
"Asagiri?"
and Takeo pass the green slime to the evening mist.
"Name this?
"You won't know if it's 'that' or 'this' or 'that'.
Besides, it doesn't taste good to say 'slime'.
I borrowed the mist in the evening, so I gave it the name 'Mist'.
It's morning fog with fog that you can stand in in the morning.
"Really...?
The evening fog says as he looks at the morning fog.
"Couldn't you?
"No... I gave this to Takeo for the learning of human society, so... I didn't think I'd give it a name.
"Really?
So, surely evening fog can be learned if you touch the slime, right?
"Yes, Elder Moon Slime can exchange all the information just by touching each other, and you can read what you've experienced by touching the slime.
But to find out more.
Evening fog closes his eyes and takes the morning fog out of his hand.
"I see Takeo's boss is an old man.
And there are two men and a woman, and there are other people who do things around them...
Hmm? Dragon? Are you with Takeo?
Does this little dragon... mean the dragon that was knocking down the trees?
The evening fog squeaks as it slightly opens its eyes.
"The dragon says cu.
Looks like you're going to grow up and become an adult once a week.
And what's the difference between touching and reading and taking in and knowing?
Takeo listens with admiration when he sees the evening fog.
"... all I know is a certain one-way situation that touches and reads the slime.
That's enough if you want to know the conversation.
When taken in against, you can see the situation in all directions (...).
"I see."
"By the way, the only person who can do this will be Elder Moon Slime.
Slime cannot be taken in with each other.
We can split, though.
Only Elder Moon Slime can absorb and generate slime (...). "
... erm...
Can evening fog produce green slime?
"Takeo, we can make any slime.
Red or black or whatever. Yesterday it happens to be green.
Takeo, what color is good to take with you today?
Evening fog puts out five different slimes on the palm with both hands in front of Takeo.
"Uh... right...
In black, then.
"Yes, it's asagiri (black).
"Hmm?"
"What is it?
Takeo and Evening Mist face each other.
"Is this morning fog too?
"You would call the slime you lend to Takeo from me 'Asagiri', wouldn't you?
Is it not?
The evening fog asks as he tilts his neck.
"... okay.
Takeo nods after thinking a little.
"So, Takeo, today I'm going to tell you the results of the surveillance of the demon you were saying yesterday.
"Yes, I understand.
Oh, I'm bringing two barrels today.
All of you later.
"Okay.
"Bye.
Tell me.
Takeo said that and spread the map around the city on the spot.
"Big bird on the west side of the woods... is it?
Takeo thinks in arms.
"Yikes!
Big su!
"Yes.
Big birds rule a few families to form a herd.
"I'm hunting a small demon in the woods.
Hourly rain, evening fog and first snow report.
"Do you know what name bird it is?
"No...
I don't know because I don't really know that I'm not interested.
"I see."
Takeo said, "Do I have to give the Evening Mists the knowledge of demons?" but I was more surprised by the excellence of the slime (...) than that.
Takeo feels at this point that slime has a considerable surveillance capability depending on how it is used, but he finds it difficult to give information about the species cheaply and consequently be contested with humans.
Takeo also thought that he needed to "educate properly" by keeping evening fog, showers, and first snow close to him, but thought that he could "not read the reaction of the residents of the city" was a pending matter.
"Lord, what will you do?
Mia asks.
"By the way, aren't the evening fogs coming out of the woods during the day?
Normally active.
That's why I can also monitor birds.
"No, I thought it was just the night because I'd see you the last few nights.
That's because Takeo is coming at night.
Evening fog tilts his neck.
"Oh... I'm here at night because King Jen met me at night, but is there no problem during the day?
"Yes."
"... is that right?
Then ask Cora, Momo, and Evening Fog to keep an eye on the bird from afar during the day.
You'll notice, but I don't think we'll be using force any time soon.
The Coras don't have to set it up again.
Now carefully examine their information (...).
"" Nha.
"What size and what action do you take during the day, and what is its scope of action?
What kind of bird tissue is it, what kind of food is it aimed at, what kind of hunting is it?
Cora, Momo, plus evening fog, clock rain, first snow. In case they come with their hands, retreat.
You don't have to contend.
Do you understand?
"" Nha.
"" "Okay.
"You'll know the evening fog through the morning fog earlier, but we're working on creating a cabin in the square, so we'll see you at night until it's done.
Quite a few humans will enter this square in the next few days.
Humans are a lot of things. We, the rulers of this city, will not think about it, but we may come and attack.
Watch out for the evening mists.
"Yes.
I will also share what I explained to you in the morning mist later.
"Oh, you were making it morning mist as of morning.
But you mustn't come into contact with your interests.
"Okay.
The evening fog snorted.
"So are you a little more relaxed?
Takeo and the others relaxed.
