□ [Triple Punch Angle Subdragon] Marilyn

[Mithrill Arms Slime].

According to the owner's description of the Demon King store, it is a rare species among the metal slime species in the fold.

Slime but not carnivorous or omnivorous, staple foods particularly prefer misrilled ore with water and minerals.

It is a liquid body that does not leak into the example of slime, but has a special ability to cure in an instant and deform into a misrilled weapon.

Therefore, it has a rare and high physical attack power as a slime.

Sometimes when being attacked, you use your body as a shield for missles, or you change to a slimy, liquid shape to avoid it.

To date, the example of discovery by mankind has been double-digit.

There are more than a dozen examples of crusades.

There are zero examples of taemed.

Yes, zero cases.

[Mithrill Arms Slime] hasn't been once tasted.

Apparently, there were instances where [the subordinate demon] was brought into a taimeable state and his right wrist was amputated where he tried to make a contract mark as a tightening.

Yes, after being in a taimable state, is.

Typically, if it becomes tamerable, the rest will be in direct contact and a contract mark will be signed, and the tamerage will be completed. So did Audrey, apparently.

But [Mithrill Arms Slime] is not.

As long as you are on alert, you will not hesitate to attack [the submissive master] in an attempt to be tame.

And that attack is equal to being attacked with a weapon made of Mithril, at a speed masterful of it.

It is known as a monster with more taste difficulty than a pure dragon because of this problem.

It is so, but it is therefore less valuable as a monster in the cracking of rarity, and it is also said that "the only way to crush it is to make it into a material" and "a moving misrillic mass".

"Two more digits wouldn't be weird if I could Tame," the owner said.

And this is what he said.

"There were a few of our customers who wanted to taste this guy, and they were trying, but they were wiped out. Some of them had a [subordinate] level kanst, but I couldn't."

That it was impossible even for the top of the [exorcist] class.

It was a hopeless story, but the Lord is challenging the [Mithrill Arms Slime] Tame even when he hears that information.

Yes, I've been trying for four hours.

That meant I kept failing Tame for four hours.

◇

In the corner of the Demon King's Shop, the Lord is facing the [Mithrill Arms Slime] with the [Mithrill Arms Slime].

…………

The Lord silently offers what he holds in his right hand.

The offering is less than a meter long and is as thin as a wire.

The stick is not just a stick, it's made of metal... it's made of misthrills.

It was a substitute the Lord had asked Rubiela to buy at the bazaar the other day.

By the way, Rubiella, who bought this and came back, told the owner, "He says the grandson of the president of the L'Orr Chamber of Commerce has been kidnapped by the Gozmaids Bandits." "Another crime by them? How many times now? It's over a hundred times, right?" and so on.

Is this city insecure?

Now to get back to you, the Mithril wire purchased by the Lord can never be used as a weapon, but please don't forgive me.

Normally, [blacksmiths] would only have enough use to add to the ingredients that make Mithrill-based weapons.

But according to the owner, Mithril is the staple food for [Mithril Arms Slime].

The Lord was in the process of trying the classic method of feeding.

but.

"... ugh."

At the same time I heard the sound of cutting the air, the tip of the stick that the Lord was offering was uneven.

Feeding was also subject to vigilance, apparently without exception, and was attacked by [Mithrill Arms Slime].

The cut tip falls to the ground and sounds as mild as when the coin falls.

Should be the same misthrill, but the tip of the stick was nicely cut. I can't see it from Jewel because of the angle, but I'm sure the cutting surface would be sharp and flat as a mirror.

Still, as the Lord continues to bring the remaining parts closer together, they are now incarnated one after the other.

The likelihood of a stick being cut into rings from an approaching end is reminiscent of some kind of candy candy.

All Mithril's sticks ended up in round-cut garbage.

"I did 2,000 lil..."

Extreme without body.

The Lord sighs and plays with his fingers the remaining shards of Mithril in his palm.

[Mithrill Arms Slime] was double-crossing that as soon as he entered the alert radius again.

"Sounds like it's difficult."

Owners speak to the Lord.

"Right. As I've heard, it's hard to be able to tame."

"Hmm? Have you done that already?

"Because slime is biologically all meth. The Seduction of Males is working, and Tame is possible."

It's a boulder, Lord.

"But if I reach out to make a contract... they'll cut me off"

The LORD saw the misrills that had been cut off in a circle, and his own hands with countless shallow wounds.

"Some of the [exorcists] who tried to tame this guy challenged him with misrillic hands. Still, they dropped my wrist."

Apparently, even the misrills processed as protective equipment, not at the material level, can't resist the slaughter of [Mithrill Arms Slime].

"Adamantite or Orihalcon protective equipment might be able to prevent it. Try sourcing."

"I'll stop. Because I don't seem to be able to equip myself with enough levels. Besides... I'm sure that reasoning is not correct"

The Lord spoke the word quietly.

It wasn't a particularly weird word, but I was concerned about the nuances of that word.

Because he said he had the right solution and he was thinking about it.

He says it's not Tame that the Lord is challenging, it's him trying to find answers to Tame.

I didn't actually say that, but I felt the Lord was saying that extraordinarily.

"But you don't seem to have a hitter?

"There are only two things I've noticed so far."

The Lord refers to the [Mithrill Arms Slime].

"First of all, he's on alert, but he's not automatically intercepting, he's thinking and attacking every single time."

Aren't you indiscriminately attacking something that approaches you?

"I repeated for four hours, because you can see a few centimeters of braces in the alert radius. It doesn't seem to be an exact auto interception, like a machine."

Now point to the wreckage of a misrill that fell to the ground.

Seen, it was all rounded, but slightly different in thickness.

"I see. So the second one."

"He wants to be tamed."

... Want to be Tamed?

You're so wary of your surroundings, you're attacking things that come close?

"What makes you think that?

When asked, the Lord opened his hands and showed them.

There are countless scars on your fingertips worn by [Mithrill Arms Slime].

"These wounds are all shallow."

"You can see that, though."

"Yeah, but my fingers aren't, even though the mythrill bars that are also in the alert range are cut into rings."

……

If you ask me.

If you relentlessly break something that falls within your alert range, it would be odd if your fingers weren't falling off, not shallow scratches.

"It's all a ravage wound, but the deepest of them is when you first inadvertently point to them. Yeah, it's a wound when I wasn't ready to be tamed yet."

The Lord gently raises the index finger of his left hand.

Sure, the scar depth is about the error, but its wound is the deepest.

"That kid is adding and subtracting attacks on humans. Especially against opponents who have made themselves tamerable, they keep it to a level of warning and intimidation. It's obviously lighter than an attack on an instrument."

"But so far [the Obedient Master] has been"

"Yes. I am seriously injured, such as getting my wrist dropped. I think if I reach out one more fist, I will."

The Lord inserts his hand into the alert radius of [Mithrill Arms Slime].

Slashing can cause shallow wounds to your fingers, but the Lord still won't pull his hand.

As a natural consequence, [Mithrill Arms Slime] continues to attack.

But it was all, shallow wounds.

Confirming it, the Lord pulled his hand in.

"This difference. Given the difference in response to me and the Mithril stick, there's some other reason besides distance. I'm sure she's acting according to clear rules."

"I mean, do you really think you can tame if you figure that out?

"Yes. But I still don't know that. There's a thread somewhere............................................."

The Word of the Lord stops, who was showing off his thoughts.

Is something wrong?

If you look at the Lord's face, his eyes stare at a point on the floor in the store.

It was near the [Mithrill Arms Slime], so I thought it might be a hint, but it wasn't.

There was just one rat there.

"Is that a rat? I think I've broken the line between avoiding the beast."

"... Shizumi"

"Hmm?"

Lord?

"Rat, rat, rat, rat, rat, rat, rat, rat, rat, rat!!!?!"

"Lord no no no no no no no!?"

Shortly after seeing the rat, the Lord screams as he waves his head to rotate and ear.

"Your husband's character is different!

"If you're talking!!

But I also know what Audrey has to say.

The Lord, who had intellectually demonstrated reasoning until earlier, is now utterly insane.

You seem terribly frightened, but what kind of trauma do you have in a rat?

"Luke sounds like a dragon."

"Shouldn't I forgive you before I say something pleasant?

"That's right."

In response to Rubiela's words, Master Babylon hugged the Lord frightened by the rats.

"Hey, Luke, I'm frightened. I'm frightened."

That's how he flaunts the Lord with a pompous slap on his back.

The Lord is also gradually but sedentarily and calming.

"Babylonian's sister can be like an off-close sometimes."

…………

Is that what it is?

I am one of the daughters of the Dragon King, but I don't remember being raised so I don't really know what it feels like.

On the other hand, Audrey and the other Rockbird species live fed by mother birds among young chicks, just like other birds, so I guess you know more than I do what my mother feels like.

... Speaking of which, what kind of people are the Lord's parents?

I'd like to say hello once I get the chance.

◇

After about five minutes, the Lord calmed down.

"I showed you something ugly."

That's what the Lord says and apologizes to the owner and Rubiela.

"Never mind."

"Humans. Anyone doesn't like anything, do they? By the way, how could a rat be so... oh, no."

The owner was reluctant to hear it depended mainly on the matter, but the colour of the Lord changed around the mouse and mouth.

Let me be careful, too.

By the way, the mouse is running away somewhere surprised by the scream of the previous Lord.

"Now that you've unraveled her rules, I'll take a look."

"" Huh?

............... what is it?

"Do you call it a feat of injury, because I figured out how he couldn't have been taemed before in one of those earlier cases"

We don't know anything when they say we understand.

Or even if you're freaking out, you know what's going on around you...

"Excuse me, Mr. Owner. Can I borrow your empty jewels for just a moment?

"I don't mind."

That's what the owner says and takes the jewels out of the counter.

It was the right hand of the Lord, that is, the same type as what I and Audrey had in them.

But there are no monsters inside.

Sometimes [The Exorcist] brings a bunch of monsters in one jewel, so empty jewels are always provided to put it in one at a time.

The monsters in the jewels can be transformed by bringing the jewels into contact with each other, with the permission of their owners.

"Then hurry up"

The Lord holds the received jewel in his left hand and approaches the right-hand Party A - the jewel into which we came.

And then he transferred me and Audrey from the jewel on his right hand to the jewel in the sky.

'.................. Huh?

Um, this means?

"Atashi and your husband selling!? FUCK!"

'Oh, oh, relax, Audrey, this is something I've decided to think about deeply!

Right, Lord!?

"I wonder if [Triple Punch Angle Subdragon] has 2.4 million lil and [Crimson Rockbird] has 3.2 million lil"

Ohhhhhh!!? Don't try to liquidate normally!!

'All right! Atashi is more expensive!

Don't be happy, birdhead!

And the only reason I'm cheap is because my people are dabbling in line at the store! I'm sure!!

"No, I won't sell it, will I? Just let me move it for a second. Babi, hold it for a second."

"Yes."

... good, really good.

Yeah, I believed you, Lord!

"Well, and"

Next the Lord took off his clothes.

Remove everything that can be described as equipment.

Sometimes the Lord is beautiful and every time I take one off, it becomes a picture.

"Maybe if I took a picture, I could sell it."

Don't sell it. Keep it on hand.

"Hmm, I don't know any more."

All that left was a tank top and underwear.

But that can't even be called equipment, it's just skin wear with no protective gear modifications whatsoever.

"Ready, I guess"

"Luke, what the hell are you doing?

The Lord returns the question by smiling thinly.

The Lord kept his left hand, a testament to < master >, as far away from [Mithril Arms Slime] as possible, reaching out only the right hand fitted with only the empty jewel.

That's slow but not alert.

Not afraid, but inevitable if cut on the wrist.

His right hand quickly touched the outer edge of [Mithrill Arms Slime] 's alert range...... he went bare without being subjected to threatening slaughter.

And for one more fist...... numerous [exorcists] advance their hands to the distance where their wrists were dropped.

And the right hand of the LORD touched him without a thing.

Me, Audrey, Rubiella and the store owner had no words.

And the LORD put the back of his hand on the temple like it was nothing, and waited for something.

"Come."

Whether the word made sense or not.

[Mithrill Arms Slime], crawling out of the box, touched the Lord's palm.

How much time has passed.

Eventually the magic passed between the two, and Tame was done.

"Your name is Liz. [Mithrill Arms Slime] 's, Liz"

The Lord smiles as he strokes the silver glowing surface with his right hand.

"Nice to meet you, Liz."

[Mithrill Arms Slime] - Liz shook her body somewhere happy.

◇

"Tame, done."

That's what the Lord said and turned to the owner as he touched Liz.

How Liz likes the Lord, crawling around over his body.

Depending on the way you look at it, it is badly slutty.

"Slime with the underwear beautiful boy...... don't!

"I don't want to."

Don't stick with Abnormal and the Lord. Red hens.

"... how did you get Tame?

and the owner inquired mainly.

I agree. I have no idea why I could have taemed it.

Or Liz, who knows nothing but the Lord, and then about Babylonian.

"As you can see. Marilyn and Audrey had me temporarily moved to Jewel, and I took my gear off."

"As a result of that act, how could you be taemed?

Yes, I can see that moving us to another jewel and taking our gear off are factors.

The problem is the causal link between it and Tame.

"Liz is more of a coward than... [Mithril Arms Slime]"

The Lord begins to show off his solution as he strokes Liz crawling around.

"Be Tamable...... I'm still scared of other things, even if I admit to them"

"Something else?

"I've been offered (...) I'm on my right hand (...) I'm scared of other monsters (...)"

……

To that answer, the owner is breathtaking.

And I also understood the meaning of the Lord's acts.

It is common sense for those who tame monsters and serve to always put monsters in right-hand jewels.

No one is going to take off their jewels when they're going to try to taste the monster.

And even [the obedient demon], who wears jewels but doesn't put monsters in them.

There was a reason why not even one [submissive] could be taemed.

"The first thing I was cut off was my left hand. That must have scared the left hand crest through which the power of < Embrio > passes. Something similar to your gear may also be scary from where you cut off your misrills hands and sticks. So I took off what Liz was afraid of and taemed it."

That's why I took off any of my gear and moved my left hand away to get close.

It makes sense, though.

"That's just circumstantial evidence, isn't it?

"Yes, the decision-maker was… earlier, you know, a rat"

You almost remembered it with your mouth with the rat. I don't feel well.

"That rat is not a monster, it's just a rat. … and was not intercepted even by the wax"

Ah.

"Besides, when I moved, the rat was passing beside me..."

... were you looking so mad?

"That's why I noticed. If I don't have anything and I'm not a monster, I guess I'll be fine. He seemed to care about me from the wounds on his hands until then."

What Liz was intimidating was not against the Lord he was trying to tame.

Me and Audrey in the jewel on the right hand side of the Lord, the emblem on the left.

"Had that speculation been off, wouldn't you have thought? He could have been cut to death, right?

"I was confident. And."

And the LORD cut off his word there, and said:

"If I misdeduced, I couldn't help but die"

When I said that, the Lord's face was a complicated one.

It's like you're laughing, crying, remembering something deeply.

It was for a moment that I showed that face.

But for a moment the Lord seemed so grim that he had never felt it before.

"Oh, but you're not going to die over here, are you?

As deceitful as it was, when that happened, the temperament was gone.

But I couldn't help but feel that moment of awkwardness might be the true face of the Lord.

…………

Liz rocked when I said something.

"Oh, I'm fine, Liz. It's shallow, and it doesn't hurt because you cut it clean. I don't care."

That's what the Lord says and shows his hands.

There were slightly cut marks there by Liz.

"Hey, Mr. Luke. You know what Slime says."

"If you want to say something, you can see it. Creatures don't just tell you how they feel."

... Speaking of which, even in the morning, it was like he was giving it back properly to me and Audrey's words.

"That kind of skill?

"No."

"It's a technique my parents taught me"

The Lord's face laughing at him for saying so seemed happy, proud...... he seemed only a little sad after all.

◇

The Lord brilliantly taemed and bought Liz, but the price fell into 5.13 million lire of instalments.

"Luke's discovered [Mithrill Arms Slime] Tame method is worth more than 10 million," the owner said.

I really tried to make it free, but the Lord said no to the boulder because it was bad, and I was to pay half the price in installments.

It should be noted that before the decision was made, there was an assignment with the Lord who tried to pay in full in the split and the owner who tried to make it free in full.

Lord, I also thought about yesterday's dispensation, but the extremes of abnegation.

After all that, we were now outside Gideon's North Gate.

Speaking of why you're here, it's Rubiella's drop-off.

Apparently, Catherine Vajra returned to the Wang Capital while the Lord was viewing the products of the Demon King's Shop and challenging Liz's Tame.

And then Rubiela goes to the king's capital.

That's why I'm now out at the gate dropping off everyone, including me and Audrey.

Liz is not in the jewel right now, by the way, and she turns into a garment with the "pseudo" skills often possessed by slime species, an outfit that the Lord wraps around.

It doesn't change its metallic appearance, but it's not even that noticeable because there's actually equipment called [Mithrill Coat].

By the way, if you used the "Appraisal Eye" skill for the "pseudo" Liz, if your skill level was low, they would recognize you as [Mithrill Coat (bespoke)].

If there's a problem with this Liz coat, it's about the length of the left and right sleeves being different because you're a little scared of the crest on your left hand, but it's a trivial story.

It moves unnaturally at times, but you wouldn't notice this as a monster if you weren't extra careful.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Rubiella"

"I'm afraid, Master Luke. I can also bring back interesting stories for the lady."

I wanted to thank Catherine, too.

The Lord met Liz because of that introduction to Catherine Vajra this time, so he may be the biggest credit in a way without being here.

"I will tell you what Master Luke has to say on your behalf."

"Thank you"

That is how the Lord was giving some messages to Rubiela.

"Then, Master Luke, Mr. Babylon, and Marilyn, Audrey and Liz. I'll see you soon."

"How does Rubiela get back to the king's capital? Teleport Gemu?"

To Master Babylon's question, Rubiela laughed cously.

"One of these is enough."

The next moment I finished saying that, a huge pair of wings grew on Rubiela's back.

That's what I found out too - it was a dragon's wing.

As it was, Rubiela winged two pairs of dragon wings and rose to the sky - transforming herself at the same time as she reached the height of the cloud.

It was a giant dragon, shining red enough to be visible even from the ground.

Is the red dragon a substitute for waving? On the spot Kurli turned around... and flew towards the north where the king capital is located.

"Was it a humanized pure dragon..."

I had no idea.

This is the first time I've actually seen a monster using the art of humanization, even if I know it as knowledge.

I guess her identity is the top pure dragon to see that beauty, but I didn't know she could be turned into a human so perfectly......

"Don Game"

"What the fuck?"

I knew I was going to learn The Art of Humanization.

"I was just thinking that again, too."

Higher than I thought physical completion would be.

If you remember that skill, it will be easy to “ho" with the Lord.

Speaking of which.

"What does Liz think of the Lord?"

Just like Audrey, it is Liz, who was tamed out of charm. Are you still in love with the Lord?

…………

But the answer isn't back.

You can't have a conversation with a slime breed, but you know what we're talking about.

When I was wondering, letters came up on the surface of Liz's pseudo coat.

[Ah]

That's hard to read seems to be the official language and it says:

[Airabu-kun]

... I'm just having trouble deciding if Ru-kun is a miswritten or Liz's considered nickname, but it seems Liz had the same aspirations at any rate.

They are rivals to each other.

"Please do me a favor, Liz."

Oh, my God, Marilyn.

'Cause Atashi's a senior! Respect!'

You're only different for one day. You've never respected me above.

Not even for me for a week.

I'm sorry, Ondri.

"Atahsi is a hen, not a rooster! No! Not chickens! Fuck! '

It's a quick crack between monsters under the Lord's command (stick).

"Well, what do we do now?

The Lord, who was dropping off Rubiela flying away to the other side, looks back at us.

"My promise to Marie is the day after tomorrow, and it looks like Ray hasn't logged in yet. I don't have plans."

"Then why don't we just level up?

I also agree with the words of Master Babylon.

I guess I never went over to train because I still don't have any combat experience, including Audrey and Liz.

"Right. I want to be stronger before I join Ray and the others, and I think we should get to the next level."

"Your husband! Atashi knows where this Shima prey lives!

Audrey seems to have a land survey because she was originally a great ghost horseman with a territory around the Nex Plains.

"Audrey, can you show me around?

"It's cheap! Get in, your husband!

"Then once Marilyn gets back to Jewel. We'll hunt together when we get there."

"Understood."

"Will Liz protect me?

Of course, Daijibu.

"Babi, are you ready?

"All right."

"Then let's go"

"'[YES, MASTER]'"

For the record, at this time the hunt wiped out about 10 wild monster stacks known to Audrey around the Nex Plains.

Ravages by me and Audrey.

Hell of charm by the Lord and Master Babylon.

And Liz, who guards the Lord, who was his only weakness, chopping up all the enemies that approach him.

It was at this time that our style of combat, which was later to be feared by many masters, began to be polished.
