Lesson five.
It's simple to do.
Just get rid of the slime, that's fine.
Take the first step with all your might.
Let's start with that.
"Sue."
Strength increases in the body.
It feels like something that has been missing from my body has slipped into place.
Identify the slime, in the middle of a vision that has become even clearer in the dark.
"... kite? Kate, can you hear me?"
"It's okay, I can go"
"Wait, something's wrong -"
Cage your strength in your feet and keep jumping forward with all your might.
The moment I stood up to raise my fist to surprise you - there was already a wall looming in front of me.
"Kite! Stop!!"
Return to me to the voice of Schiff, but the fist that has already protruded can be slapped against the wall.
I thought the sound of my fist crushing - and what came back from my fist was the sound of my fist crushing a wall made of stone.
"Become...!?"
"" Piggy!? "
Seeing his fist pierced as far as his elbow, Slime, who was at his feet, shook his body in surprise and fear and fled as he jumped on the floor.
The only thing that doesn't work is the silver slime, but I don't care about that now.
Forced, he sees an intact fist as he pulls his right arm out of the wall.
"This is supportive witchcraft...!? Awesome, shiv!"
……
"Schiff?"
Speaking to Schiff, who is circling his eyes to surprise, doesn't return a response.
After a few seconds or so as it was, he finally moved out, but the distressed look doesn't change.
"That's not the supporting magic I assumed. Kite, your magic is too powerful."
"To?"
It unintentionally returns a distracted reaction, but apparently the original physical strengthening is not as strong as it is now.
"Your own physique… no, magic. They have too much affinity for my witchcraft, which has more than doubled the effect of physical strengthening."
"... I mean?"
"If you use supportive witchcraft other than your own, you will get some effect, but if you use it on the Lord Himself, the effect will be immeasurable. That's enough to make you cross the limits of your flesh."
I'd rather fight than use demons...?
No wait, is that good as Tamer!?
Even if I were you, I imagined a future where you could follow the demons and give them instructions so well to fight!?
"I'm confused, too. I can't believe this is happening... No, should boulders be called my Lord here?"
Is Schiff confused, too, holding his head cleverly with his forelegs?
When I was troubled on the spot by my master, I realized from earlier that the silver slime that was at my feet, the misthrilled slime, was looking up at me on a shiny surface unchanged.
At all, I won't show you how to escape, so I'll just crouch down and look down.
"The slime that bullies you has already escaped. You should go home soon."
"Queue!"
Mithrill slime that provides momentum and a motion to shake your neck sideways.
What? What is it?
Schiff, who nodded at Mithrill Slime, desperately trying to communicate, interprets the content.
"Apparently, I want to follow you to the Lord"
"Really? But Kobold can also be used as a demon..."
"It is. Rather, given the power of Kite now...... Hmm"
Glimpse of Mithril Slime and Schiff looks up at me.
"Change the operation, use this guy as a demon"
"I don't mind, okay?"
"Oh, now that I've seen it, I know you're stronger than Kobold, enhanced by supportive magic. Mithrill slime is more appropriate if it means increased combat power. It can also be a shield in times of need."
"... ok"
Have Schiff gently cut the back of his hand with his nails and make a contract with Mithrill Slime just like he did when he did.
When I made sure I had a magical connection, the delightfully jumped misrill slime came up on my shoulder the opposite of Schiff's.
"... that's surprisingly light. I thought it was something heavier because it's called a misrill."
"It's just a trait. The weight itself is no different than a normal slime. Why don't you name it?"
"Name?"
"Um, I'm glad you gave me a name."
"Kew!"
Mithrill slime nods at Schiff's words.
Name... name.
"Lime, what do you say? Maybe a little cheap, though."
"Cu! Cu!"
Mithrill slime bouncing happily on the shoulder, reworked lime.
"Sounds like you like it."
"Well, nice to meet you, Lime."
"Queue!"
But from the side, it's a rare fit: a black cat on the left shoulder and a slime on the right shoulder.
Blah, blah, blah. I have trouble turning my neck and it's pretty hard to move.
"But don't let this get in the way of being stuck on your shoulder. Kite, do you mind if I ride your head?"
"Head? How?"
"Well, watch."
That's what I say. No, Schiff, who jumped high from his shoulder, turns straight into an indeterminate black mass.
deformed in the air as it was, and his appearance on my hand was --,
"Hat?"
"Um, I won't interrupt this unpleasant move, and it will be possible to get my voice there"
It looks like a black hat as seen in western plays.
It's light as if it's real, and it looks cool.
If you try it on for fear, the hat is fixed to suck on your head.
"What do you say?"
"It's okay, it's perfect."
Schiff's voice is heard in his ear.
It's not loud, it's just good enough to be heard.
"That's not commensurate with the clothes. When you head to the human city, you'll have to look at the right clothes."
"Yes, you are."
"Cu!"
It certainly doesn't fit with a high school blazer.
I was curious about the phrase "human city," but I need to ask Schiff what I'm going to do first.
"What next?"
"As an appointment, I could have kept another demon company. And then we need you to understand how to handle power, and use Lime as a demon."
The sif who spoke so much shuts up.
What's the matter with you? That's when I tried to ask, some loud nanica crawling from behind the ruins.
"... distracted!? Are you attracted to the smell of Kate's magic power at this distance!?"
"Schiff, this sound..."
"Here he comes! The strongest and most wicked of these ruins!"
The next moment, we hear a monster's voice echoing from the bottom of hell from behind the hierarchy where we are.
Such a tough, powerful voice that I don't know if I can define it as an organism.
"There is no escape in this hierarchy...! Kite, the earliest option left for us is one!"
"Is that!?"
"Three-necked serpent, Orochi! Escape beyond him to the ground!"
In a situation of absolute destiny, in a shaky darkness.
I have been determined to encounter monsters who reign outside of common sense.
