I Became the Demon Lord and my Territory is an Uninhabited Island

Episode 41: When I was about to melt my body, not just my clothes

My ass hurts.

During the last outbreak, the road was clear to some extent, but there was no way to the swamp in the forest.

One of the chariot riders without a hood is Stilo, who has a party with the faders. This person also has a pretty face, a cat-eared beast race and a calico cat, if it was just a cat, it would be definitely rare enough to go to the laboratory, but according to the story I heard, it seems that there are many calico and many men . Well, this is not the earth, so if you see a cat in the city, it might be a good idea to take a look.

By the way, he seems to be from the same village as Fader, and is working as an adventurer in subduing guilds.

"No, I choose the best way possible."

It changes your voice as it rattles and shakes, so you may be taking care to lubricate things a little.

"I won't complain because I can't ride a horse, and a carriage is a must if you need to carry it in a barrel with water to bring the slime core intact. Thank you, Stylo, but I won't be resentful. ''

Fader, sitting in front of her, laughs, saying "Hahaha", and checks the rope tied to the barrel every time the carriage sways.

It's almost noon from the position of the sun. Do you eat away after lunch?

Well, let's leave it around.

"Fader, it's almost noon but what's going on?"

Stylo turns around a little and shouts.

"What about Calm?"

"I can tolerate some hunger, so I can eat it now, or just eat it, to get the horse resting, even after I get away."

Assuming that the lifeline was cut off by a catastrophe and there was only one day's worth of food and eight liters of water, and we could spend three days, we conducted training twice a year to use a large consecutive holiday and to survive with only the knowledge of amateurs. Lunch was delayed five hours compared to the hunger at that time, but there is no problem to skip it.

"I'm sorry, can you wait for the forest? At this speed, I think it's only about two suns away,"

"understood"

"Did you hear?"

When I say so, I raise my hand and reply.

After a while, the forest came and saw that it was a forest with slime.

"Oh, you can see it, the road is rough and it was a bit behind schedule, but you can hunt enough until it gets dark, let's cook quickly."

I pour hard black bread and dried meat with water, and since it is not an interpersonal type, I will not make an instant gilly suit made of mucus and wait for their preparation.

Although you can get a nuclear weapon intact, it is rude if you do not bring a set of equipment.

"Well, maybe a scoop that was somehow a weapon loaded on that carriage?"

Stylo asks with a mysterious face.

"Huh? Is that something strange?"

""e?""

"e?"

For these guys, I have to tell later about the versatile scoop.

The two are lightly dressed, and although Fader is a long sword and Stilo is a short spear or short, there is one meter and fifty centimeters.

Fader went into the forest at the top, and Stylo was watching the carriage. I want to get along with Stylo a little more, so let's do it at dinner or in small talk.

The forest is not so dense, you can hear the sunbeams and the crowing of birds, it is not much different from the forest near the village, there are not many monsters, and this forest is often used as a quest for medicinal herbs. It seems. Which may be a medicinal herb.

"If you walk a little further, there are swamps inhabited by slime, so please watch out soon."

"Roger that"

With that said, I try to walk while holding a scoop, but the slime is safe unless it moves slowly and suddenly comes out of the shade or falls from the tree and is not surprised. Still, since the probability is not zero, there is no better way to be alert.

If you go a little further, there is a buoyon bouyong with a diameter of about 1 meter that is slightly integrated with the background. Although it is subtly integrated, the color is translucent green, so it's easy to see.

"Is that you?"

It looks like it has tension and its shape hasn't collapsed, like a water balloon on the floor?

"Oh, yes, there's a red core in the middle. I want you to get it intact."

"I understand, but I'd like to know how to beat it normally, so please let me know."

`` Okay, he doesn't care, if something hits the surface of the body, the nucleus will escape somewhere, but it is common to aim at the nucleus by attacking with great speed or pinching and shooting with two people That's right, look at it. "

With that said, Mr. Fader goes through the trajectory with the intention of cutting the nucleus with a long sword, but the nucleus escapes up, crosses again for the second time, but now escapes to the back.

Then hurry back to me so you won't be attacked.

"It's common to hunt with two people because the nuclear escapes like this."

"How was he attacking?"

"It comes predatory like a whole body is spread and covered, or is it a body hit?"

"If you get caught, do you have any clothes melted?"

"e?"

"Hmm?"

I heard that it wasn't good, because only a woman knight or an adventurer got caught and only the clothes were melted and there was only an image that would do that or something like this.

"Nothing, what happens if I get caught?"

"Do you feel like you've been suffocated and melted and nothing is gone?"

"How do you grow up like these guys?"

"It will be bigger depending on the size of the people who took it in, it will be bigger if I'm taken in. Well, it's impossible, but if you take in an oak, an auger, a dragon, etc., it will be bigger than that. When it splits, it splits in half and becomes half bigger and bigger again. ''

"Houho"

If you absorb the volume as it is or bring a large monster corpse, will it be big enough?

"In general, how do you get an intact nuclear weapon?"

`` It feels like freezing and scraping the surface, if you freeze too much, the nucleus will freeze and melt when it melts, and finally gently scoop the whole body part so that it does not collapse I'll put it inside. Well, my hands will be ragged, so I use thick leather gloves.

It feels like the destruction of cells by freezing and the water leaking out of the destroyed area when it is thawed, like frozen sashimi.

"Okay, let's do something."

Try to get the nucleus intact, thanks to the monster-like slime that doesn't do anything while talking and doesn't attack when the hero transforms.

It looks like it's almost water, it's suppuratutayuntayun, and I don't know if it's acidic or alkaline.

Well, it will be softer than kneading the brick material, like putting a brick while thinking, put the magic into the slime as if stirring the water, then the nucleus began to shift from the center so continue as it is, resisting quite a bit However, after a while, it came to the surface of the surface, so just remove the jelly-like part and nucleus and float it on the palm of your hand.

On the way, he said, "I'm going to freeze it."

"Hey, there was some resistance, but I do not use magic power than kneading bricks."

"Oh, yes"

Fader seems a little amazed. Was I thinking of freezing and scraping little by little? This is decided earlier because it is almost water rather than frozen.

"Ah, once the carriage, once the nucleus ..."

"Oh yes, it's hard to break it."

I saw Fader hiding his thick leather gloves in his pocket, but he dared not touch them.

Stylo, who was watching the carriage, noticed us coming out of the forest.

"Oh, it was quick, was there any problem?"

"No problem, but rather another problem, look at Calm."

Then I look at me, and my hands have one nucleus floating on them. I saw a slime on the way back, so I tried it with one hand and it was a success, so it was a two-sword style.

"Oh, that's a big problem. Our job is gone."

"I didn't. I just explained lightly about the slime and showed me how it works with a sword."

"Oh, please open the barrel lid, it will magically drain the water."

"... oh, oh"

Put out the [water polo] in front of your eyes with a stone bullet, knife or bitterness, and slowly sink the core of the drop slime into the barrel.

"I gathered two of the schedules, but let's collect as much as I can, isn't the intact nucleus in high demand?"

"Eh, eh"

Apparently, as far as I can see the reaction, it seems to be really unexpected and there is no motivation to reply.

"Um, is that a little good?"

She has a serious look.

"Yes?"

"In terms of rewards, we haven't done anything, but at least we have to rent a carriage ..."

"Of course, it's a headache, you promised first, and I didn't think it was going to be this easy, and having fun and earning it was bad.

Where is the ridiculous honest character of the previous life or your nationality revenge? I thought, but better than being resentful.

Looking at the sun, thinking about the time it took to come, the gates closed at twenty o'clock, as it was a little bit lazy on the way home. Can you hunt only for two hours after that? Well it's a consultation.

"I think you said yesterday, but if you do camping in front of the gate, you can come three or four more times, but what do you do?"

"Please let me talk a little"

"Roger that"

That said, they seem to be talking a little apart from each other.

"What, camp in front of the gate"

"I was joking yesterday when I negotiated, saying I could come back as soon as I got the required number and camp in front of the gate."

"Well, I can't help what I said, but if I could go three more times, would it mean that I could take six more?"

"Ah, but if you can't get it, it's said that it's camping while taking turns in front of the forest, so you can get more intact nucleus depending on the negotiations.

"It's free to say, it's negotiations."

"Ahh"

Oh, I'm back.

"The story is over? Oh, do you eat dried fruits?"

A little face is pulled. Oops, he seems to have failed to soften the place. Is it the cause of the failure while saying in your mouth?

"I'm so sorry, but as a result of the discussion, I decided to earn a little more. Is it OK to take turns camping in front of the forest I said yesterday?"

"Oh, no problem. I'm telling the director to take a little extra work."

"Oh, is this light guy, really, that rumored Calm?"

"Is that right? I'm sure I'm living in Clinic Croy, a perverted cave, with indigo skin, day laborer building bricks."

I can hear you ...

"I hope so."

"Well, this is a little suggestion."

"What is it?"

"Can I increase efficiency?"

"" What? "

Then I and Fader went into the woods and asked Fader to carefully select the slime.

"He's fine."

"Roger that"

"It's useless because its core is small."

"Roger that"

With that kind of feeling, I knead and combine the slimes as soon as I find them, like when kneading bricks.

It's a sphere and it's floating in the air, so it doesn't matter if it goes wild. The nucleus is rampant inside, but I'm careful not to let the nuclei collide.

Once you find about ten, knead and unite, return to the carriage again. When I returned, I took out only the nucleus and sunk it in a keg, and left a lot of jelly without the nucleus in the sunshine.

What should I do? He said, `` I'm thirsty, and it disappears like ice, so put it out of the way and put it out of the way, and if it absorbs the slime, it will grow to be huge and breed. '' Just go back to the forest. It's going to be annihilated by overfishing. If you find the worst slime, fuse the extra jelly and run away, will it increase without permission? And show off amateur thought.

It is already evening and a bit dim.

"This is thirty-six."

The core of the last collected slime is sunk into a barrel, and the jelly-like material with no nucleus is sent to the forest.

"I don't have a barrel anymore"

"Even if I pack it any more, it won't hurt each other and I should have brought a little more barrels."

"I can't help it, I didn't think I could get this much"

"Well, I didn't think it would go well, wouldn't it be nice to think that the price would drop even if I took too much?"

It's the relationship between supply and demand.

"... That's right. Let's think so."

"Well, it is dangerous to drive a carriage in this darkness, so let's camp here."

"Um, a little question."

"what is it?"

"Which is safer, camping in front of the forest or a little away from the forest?"

"It's safer to be away from the forest, but it's dangerous to run a horse on a stone.

"Can you stay away if it's bright?"

I say so and look at Stylo

"Oh, it's possible if you slow down."

"Let's get away a little. I'm scared, so it's better to be a little safer."

If I said with a terrible smile, I was drawn so much, why? Isn't safe one better?

"But the light?"

"I make it. Well, I have never used it and I don't know if it will succeed, but let me try it only once."

"Huh ..."

"Image, height 300m, 1 million candela, disappears and activates after 60 seconds"

Well, it's a lighting bullet. If you see it in a movie, it's easy to make an image. I didn't know about magnesium or sodium nitrate. Flash bangs can be magical too.

If you think so, a terrible light source will be generated in the sky and brightly illuminate the area.

"Well done the sun."

"I haven't seen this before"

When I was looking at it, the light gradually diminished and eventually disappeared.

"It's a success. I'm scared of monsters at night and let's go away a little.

They both look like "what are you saying?" But I don't care.

"Yes, are you ready to leave?"

Then he was ready to move, and after a certain period of time, he fired [lighting bullets] and Stylo-san was in the area where the forest became smaller.

"I can see the area around here and it's safer than in front of the forest."

So I started preparing for camp.

We're preparing for the fire, as we gathered the firewood while we were in the forest. He was trying to make a pilot fire with flint and was grateful if he put out [fire] like a lighter from his fingertip. Is it burning?

You can prepare for dinner, but if you can do it with black bread and dried meat as portable food, just return the dried meat with hot water.

I talked about eating and sleeping quickly, there was no special interaction with Mr. Stylo who was scheduled, I decided to leave when the sun came out in the morning, the lookout was changed by a lot for three hours and I was first was.

When everyone fell asleep, the slime pieces were wrapped tightly in leather bags and the stored items were removed.

Of course, to know how much it will melt.

With your thumb and forefinger, put a piece of slime about the size of a circle on a back of your hand, put a piece of cloth on the back of your hand, put it on the top, it will open a hole in the cloth in about 5 seconds, and pain will run on the skin immediately, I hurried off.

If you look closely, you'll see a round burn mark on the back of your hand.

It's impossible to melt only clothes, why not use it diluted with water or something? But how about the pH value that only clothes dissolve so as not to affect the skin? Even if you put a towel in an alkaline or acidic hot spring, the skin will be smooth but the towel will not melt.

After a few years, the fabric will only be weathered. And slime is surprisingly scary.

If you think so, fix the scars like the burns on the back of your hand with recovery magic, surround the bonfire, watch out for the surroundings, float the small perforated bowl in the water and wait for the time.

Make sure the bowl has fallen into the water twelve times before raising the next lookout fader.

"Fader, it's time."

"Hmm ... oh, I'm sorry, you can sleep now."

I peel off the blanket while yawning and watch me lie down.

After that, Stylo, the last watchman, greeted what happened.

Waking up is a little bad because the bed is different.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning, nothing special, this is tea."

"Azassu"

Add a little more sugar, put sugar in your head, soak the bread in sweet tea and start eating.

Stylo looks with strange eyes. Are you doing something weird? You just sweeten the tea and soften the hard bread, right?

I feel like sweet tea, eating too soft rusk and drinking tea, but is it a problem to soak? Well, I can't help what I did. Let's proceed as it is.

While eating Moso Moso and bread, Stylo slams Fader.

"Get up"

"Oh, I know."

Get up with Mukuri, meet my eyes,

"Oh good morning"

Greet at the same time. I also returned to the wording whether my eyes were clear.

It's still dim, so the three of us surround the fire, and the time goes by and the sun starts to act from the mountains. Put out the bonfire, check the slime core, and the carriage slowly starts moving. The return trip is quite slow. Don't worry about your ass.

"I can see the town's barriers!"

"Ryokai"

It turns out that the butt gets hurt even if you move early or late. Fader seems to hurt too, maybe I'll sew it on a cushion next time.

"After that, you can examine the goods at the gate, secure the requested amount, put it in the guild, and you're done, you'll be patient for a while."

It seems painful because I've been standing up and sitting up a while ago.

"Next! I was so fast or you were returning in a day."

With that said, I am looking at the goods.

"Hey, it's not an intact slime nucleus, this amount in a day ... Ah, if Calm was the same, I'm convinced.

That being the case, he passes through the gate without incident.

"Do you know someone?"

"I'm doing repairs and building bricks outside the gates, so I go every day and I can remember my face. And I'm close enough to get entangled."

"Hey, can I get along with the gatekeeper because everyone is fine?"

"It's very convenient."

"Mr. Calm, I don't think it's too close to get the inspection done."

"Well, if you don't tell me to ask for that area, he's going to pass it."

"I'm going to sell a little subjugation part."

"Okay" "Oh!"

Fader turns the carriage behind the guild.

"I'm sorry Calm-san helped me, I didn't think I could get so fast and get that much."

"It's me too. I didn't think slime was easier than kneading bricks."

"Is it okay to invite me if I have something again?"

"It's fine if it's not dangerous, but don't rely too much on it? I want to live safely and relaxedly."

"Hahaha! That's such a great thing. I don't know what you're thinking about whether you're scared or safe using magic."

"Well, it's pretty easy to tell him in front of me. I don't want to die and I don't like fighting because I'm a wimp. That's good."

"Well, I'll tell the leaders not to invite them as much as possible. I'm a party leader with only two people."

Don't say anything interesting, Stylo.

"I've just returned, I need two of the thirty-six, and I've sold about thirty-four. One item was five silver coins, one gold coin and seven large silver coins. , So it will be one hundred and seventy. If you divide this,

"Sixty-six copper coins, fifty-six and six large copper coins."

Well it's not divisible.

"It's faster to calculate."

"Thanks"

"I'll tell you right away, because I didn't come with silver coins, would it be to change money again?"

"Let's do this, the sole is the number that divided the money that sold the subjugation part, isn't it? I also pay my daily extra wage separately, so I only need fifty-seven silver coins. People will get 56 large copper coins of 56 coins, my labor will be 3 large copper coins and 4 copper coins, but thank you for making it easy to make money. Will you pay me the hassle after you get it right? "

I explain it verbally, and if I don't want to make a mistake, I will write numbers with a stick on the ground and explain carefully.

"If Calm says it's okay, I'm fine."

"I'm fine, but are you really losing?"

"But I'm earning 70 days worth of day, so I have no complaints. I think it's a good deal to pay me four coins? It's cheap if you can get to know him, but don't invite him too much, as I said to Stylo earlier. "

"... Okay, if Calm says that's fine."

After a lot of trouble, Fader says.

Well, if you're clinging to money, you'll buy grudges. It's better not to make an enemy here if you let the other party get it.

"Well, is it okay to disband? It's okay to launch it, but I think it's unpleasant if you have to get an acquaintance to give an intact nucleus."

"Well, yes. I'll give you today if I have the opportunity."

"Thank you, I'm looking forward to seeing you again."

"Thank you very much"

"This is it!"

With that said, I immediately entered the guild and decided to deposit 60 silver coins. I don't want to carry such a lot of money.

Ah, I asked the landlord for the price of the duplicate key. That way you can keep a little more at hand.

It's still noon, but take a bath and sleep in the room.

Quiet talk

At the bar where you returned your intact nucleus to an acquaintance.

"It's true, Mr. Calm asked me," Isn't there a slime that melts only clothes? "

"Is that person boiling?"

"I don't know, but when I said I didn't, I looked very disappointed."

"Is it really serious, isn't it a pervert?"

"I was a generous person, but I was a little disappointed. I could use magic to defeat the Hygoblin and move around my head well."

"I'm convinced that you live in a perverted cave. It's a bit different from us."

"... Yeah, let's forget about melting clothes."

"That's right, drink it, forget it, and it made me make money. Good people are about to offset that!"

They said they would drink until late at night with the money they made.

Weird rumors are likely to spread ...
