"Captain, that's all."
The guard reports as he wipes the sweat off his forehead.
"Thank you, how many in all?
"Yes, one hundred and thirty-six in all."
The guards had collected the remains of the 'Little Devil Imp', which had been defeated throughout the town, in front of the barracks square.
"One hundred and thirty-six... that's a great number again...
They're the ones that the average person can't deal with, no matter how low level little demons are......
Really... I didn't have to die a lot... "
A guard chief nodding emotionally as he lays his hand on his jaw.
"Captain, do you want to start?
"Uh, yeah, do it!
The guards mutilate the body of the 'Little Devil Imp' and remove the 'Demon Core Nucleus' from inside.
Unlike a pure demon, Little Demon has a Demon Core Nucleus.
It's like being halfway between a demon and a demon, somewhat close to a demon.
That's why he has a 'core nucleus' in his body, just like a demon.
"Demon Core Nucleus" can be redeemed because it becomes a material for magic tools, fuels, and has many uses.
By analogy, it means “rare metal” and “oil and other energy”.
Basically, they buy it in the country and the territory.
The Guards take this' Demon Core Nucleus' out of all the 'Little Demon Imps'.
And gather the swords and triplets that the Imps had.
Because these are also made of actual substances, they remain intact even when the imp dies.
"How about a weapon?
"Yes, 65 little swords and 71 triplets."
"Well, it fits numerically. Looks like you've recovered everything.
All ranks are "low-level," so maybe it won't be that much money. "
"Captain, what are you going to do with these?
"Of course, I'll give you everything the next time the fairy goddess shows up.
Some of what we defeated, but at least thanks. I would like to thank the leadership more fully, but for now, I will do what we can now. "
As the keeper of the security of this city, the Guard Commander was deeply appreciative.
We had our inhabitants protect the city that we should protect with our lives.
Besides, they even saved the lives of wounded guards, including myself.
No one died.
Not even a life-threatening guard lost one.
How much can you express this gratitude after doing so much...
"Right. I don't think you'd appreciate it to this extent, but at least you feel..."
The guards around seem to feel the same way.
"By the way, what do you do with the Imps' carcasses?
"Well, it's troublesome to have so many"
"I'd like to bury it... but leaving the carcass could be“ undead ”. Do we still have to collect them in one place and bake them..."
——— That's when the three slimes came around Imp's carcass.
"Captain, the slimes are here..."
While Claire says so, she points.
"What... I'm playing around Imp's carcass..."
The Slimes gently took in the body the carcass of the integral imp as they watched the guards.
Yes, they were trying to handle this massive carcass with their race-specific skills' disassembly 'and' absorption '.
"Captain, what if...
Aren't the slimes trying to handle this carcass...
Slime is originally a creature that disassembles garbage and other things... "
Speak to the guard chief as Claire remembers.
"I see. You know what... if so... that would help a lot... let's see how it goes..."
"Me, I'll talk to you for a second"
"I don't care if I say talk..."
"Maybe these kids are messengers of the fairy goddess, too. You may understand people's words."
"Right...... right. Try me."
Claire approached the slimes softly and spoke.
"Are you guys going to handle this carcass? If that's the case, I'd love to."
Then...
The three slimes there bounced twice big.
And...
I took more and more of the imps into my body.
While we were doing that, what a bunch of other slimes.
This city was originally one with very little slime.
The guards stare silently as they marvel at when so many slimes have gathered.
Originally viewed amicably by the people, Slime is no longer the "use of the goddess” in this city.
They also gather from outside the open gates.
Looks like it's coming from a nearby forest or something.
Thanks to the gathering of about thirty bodies, the 'imp' carcass was quickly cleared.
But the slimes are still growing.
The slimes bounced three times louder when they saw the guards, and they all left.
Slime, which is still gathering, will also continue to leave later.
"How much are we gonna get together..."
The captain muttered, grinning bitterly.
Actually...
The breakdown and absorption of the carcass of this imp by the slimes will later make an unexpected difference…
But that's another story......
