An active hunter in Hokkaido was thrown into another world.
45. Report on the ecological survey of Lyleslime
We finally arrive in Surplast that night.
"How'd it go!
"Batchlice"
"Defeat them all!
"I didn't ask you guys!!
Alliance master Buffalo Bal yells at Team Elfan.
"Well I've managed. I'll report back tomorrow."
"Right, well done. Well, if Sin says he's gonna be okay, he's gonna be okay."
Uh, uh...
A protest will be heard from Team Elfan.
"Get some rest today. I'll give you the reward tomorrow."
"We're leaving tomorrow."
"Well, you did. I took care of a lot of things. Thank you."
"No."
Hey and Mr. Bal speak up in the back.
"Give him the reward, today!
Clerk brought a leather bag from the back.
It contains fifty gold coins.
The Lord of the Alliance gave it to me. I'm fat.
"And then this is the one your sister was asking for."
He gave me a big cloth bag. If you look at the contents, there's wool in the bag.
"Hi, Master."
"Thank you. It helps."
The two of us thanked each other and said, "It's our fault we didn't have a hippo to go buy. Let me do about this," Mr. Bal laughs.
"How much is it?
"One silver coin"
"That's too cheap."
"Big service."
Ha ha.
As I was told, I would give you a piece of silver coin and laugh face to face.
Saran finally sneered at me, too.
"Saaah! You guys! Return the card!
Team Elfan will give Mr. Bal a shaved hunter card.
They're fired hunters now. Starting tomorrow, I have to find a place to work.
I'm happy for my new life.
It's my last night and I made money, so I got a pretty good place to stay.
I'll get out the 1-nar rule and ink, paper and pen I bought at the grocery store.
They say the tip of the nose is 1 nar (about 91 cm) long from the thumb when an adult man spreads his hand. This is the unit of length of this country. Exactly the same as the yard, right?
Well, you mean it's more or less the same to think in different worlds...
The lamp in the room is bright, so the brush goes on.
Saran took a bath first and fell asleep.

Lyle Slime Ecology and Measures
● Overview
When toddlers, the water colour is not more than 2 nar in diameter. Organisms shaped like crushed spheres with jelly-shaped in vivo tissue and a mucosal transparent outer skin.
All species look very similar in childhood and are very difficult to discern.
The movement is slow because it rotates the inner tissue and rolls the outer skin to proceed, moving at a speed that ranges from the speed at which a person walks to about a small run.
When you are a young child, blow out acid fluids and attack external enemies in defense.
Predation involves directly wrapping small animals, plants, etc., into the body, digesting, and decomposing them.
I basically prefer rivers, lakes, swamps and wetlands and don't live in arid environments.
● Growth and perversion
When grown from a young body, multiple individuals gather to merge and perform the perversion that becomes an adult.
Upon adulthood, the size is 5 nar in diameter and the height is 1 nar flat hemispherical, but deforms freely.
Although the method of movement and the speed of movement are not different from that of a young body, individuals are also seen to behave, such as climbing walls with adhesion.
Adult characteristics show hostility when attacked and the color changes from blue to red fluorescent. In this state, aggressively attack, track, even if the enemy escapes, by smell, and have a very strong obsession with the enemy.
Normal weapons such as swords and spears do not work because when you are a toddler, the body that can be easily cut with swords and spears becomes more resilient and the outer skin is tough.
Since magic and flame attacks do not come in, but travel at a slow speed, escape is the best way to do so once discovered. In that case, to prevent tracing by sense of smell, crossing the river, sprinkling other strong smelling objects, etc. seems to be urgently effective in evacuation.
If it is necessary to defeat it, it cannot be rendered powerless unless the nuclear part visible in the centre is destroyed in some way, requiring a pointy throw of a very strong weight tip. If you are attacked in a group, killing a few bodies will make your aggressiveness disappear and there are examples of escapes.
● Reproduction
It is very close to the so-called "viscous fungus".
Dozens of young adults merge to become adults, and about ten more merge to become one giant organism and change into mushroom-shaped shapes.
The lower slimes form like dry, rooted trees, with the soft tissue of the top stretching up and creating mushroom-shaped umbrellas.
In the case of Lyle slime, its height is nearly 30 nar, making it giant or giant mushroom-shaped. In the individual examples witnessed, this botanization took place at dawn rather than in the evening.
With the completion of the umbrella, as with fungi such as regular mushrooms, it is conceivable that spores will be scattered from the umbrella portion and eventually grown and transformed into slime larvae, but no confirmation has been made.
The vegetated slime cannot move and, like normal plants, becomes irresistible and harmless. It is also easy to discover because the appearance remains a giant skinny mushroom. This is also done in close proximity to water sources such as rivers and waterfalls, as in the living area of the slime.
If it can be found in this state, it is necessary to cut down the trunk promptly or cut off the umbrella part before the spores are scattered and take early action. Cut down trunk, umbrella section is rapidly numb as conduits sucking up water are destroyed. Sites knocked down to prevent spores from spreading shall be incinerated as far as possible on the spot.
measures
· Decrease the number of individuals by knocking down as many as possible when a single juvenile body is capable of normal attack.
-If there are more than one individual, it merges on the spot and perverts into an adult, so no attack is allowed.
When attacking, it is preferable to use a metal that does not corrode due to the acidity of the body fluids.
· Adults consider attacks to be hardly passable, and retain them for evacuation and surveillance.
· It is desirable to wait for the adult slime to gather and vegetate, and to cut it down.
-If you succeed in knocking it down, oil the umbrella, trunk areas, etc., and incinerate it as soon as possible,
preventing spores from spreading.
That's it.

Hmm......
Is this the place?
It's kind of like a bureau report.
That's a little long.
Ideally, this kind of thing really fits into a single sheet of A4 paper.
One will read it to the end.
But when it comes to two, people read it to the end in half.
When it comes to three, when it comes to a third or four, only a quarter of people will read it to the end. That's what it is. I didn't take the statistics, but that's what I felt when I felt like I had a job at the bureau making materials and stuff.
Important circulars, the more information you have, the more paper you need, are important.
Saran is already asleep.
When is Momogi all right?
I must be the one today. [M]
Good night.
In the morning, we leave from the pier behind the Merchant Guild by canoe.
They're all here to drop me off.
Ladies and gentlemen of the Alliance, and Team Elfan.
For some reason, Baristes' party, too.
"Sin! I hear you've done another big job! Why aren't you taking us?
"... because it was a job that I couldn't be too big on"
Baristes' leader, Mr. Bertier, is a dissatisfied face.
"Almost out of business, right?
"Still. 'Cause what you guys do is funny!
Ha ha... I'm already sorry.
"Mr. Bal. This is yesterday's report. Let the great men be seen."
"... I've never seen you guys write anything like this before. You were a scholar."
I work for the bureau, though.
"I don't want to be a hunter. No, you want me to serve the palace. If the hunters could all write monsters like this, the guild would be better, but I don't think hunters can do that."
It's a shame, isn't it, Mr. Bal?
"You don't teach me how to defeat demons as much as a first-rate hunter. You're unusual."
Oh, is that what you mean?
"Anyway, the measures are going to be helpful. I can't make as much as yours, but I'll think of something. Thanks!"
"Thank you for your help"
"Come back as soon as you're done with your errands. We've got a lot of farm work to do."
"… I think about it"
"No, hunter over there, try harder."
That's true, isn't it, Saran?
"Different."
We all laugh bitterly, then we burst into laughter.
"Bye!
When Saran plays the reins, the river dolphin starts swimming with Bashabasha.
Slowly, smoothly, the canoe left the pier and began to move forcefully upstream.
