Episode 164

"Umm. The blow isn't working. If you deliver the slash to the nucleus, you'll feel it's manageable."

Aisle appears to have attacked the slime, but it was not very effective.

"Naoki, the power of magic ...!"

Rita seems to have attacked the slime with water magic, but in the first place there was little magic in the southern hemisphere, so even when she fired the water magic, water only came out from her fingertips.

The poison was effective only for immediate death poisons, but the other paralyzing and sleeping poisons were only introduced into the body. I don't have so much poison of the immediate death yellow frog, so I have no choice.

"This is not good either. In the southern hemisphere, the atmosphere of the demon is different, and you will not get along at all!"

"Language seems incomprehensible."

Neither Melmo's causal skill nor Bow's demonic language has any effect.

"The adsorbent is effective, but not in quantity."

Versa seemed to be a little more effective, but the amount is still a problem.

By the way, Seth, who has been silent for a long time, failed after experimenting with putting a board on a large amount of slime. She has melted a wooden board and was attacked by a swarm of slime.

I wanted to sleep because I kept running if I could, but this doesn't make me sleep.

For the time being, I went back to the cave where I came, and tried to talk to the devil of the earth, but she was already nearby because she had already started making dungeons. If you are careless, you will enter the cave and block the entrance. Aisle had blown off several times. Because it is not clear, I will close the entrance with a rock and then make a hole in the ceiling later.

We dug the passage lightly to make room for everyone to sit down. The strength is the same in the Southern Hemisphere, so Aisle and Seth, who has revived with the magic recovery syrup, worked hard.

"First, Bow and Rita were terrible. I got along with this. It may be that dungeons have already begun to make it easier to return."

"No, I've decided to follow myself. It looks interesting. Fuha."

"I'm naturally Bow's right arm!"

Rita and Bow will be hired on a temporary basis at the Komulo Company until the slime elimination is over. He lent a communication bag to Rita to contact Remi, but she couldn't contact her at all due to lack of magic in the air. When I put all my magic into it, I could only hear the noise from the broken radio.

"No, I licked the southern hemisphere. Hahaha."

Instead of laughing and cheating, our employees were frowning.

"I know, what kind of monster is slime?"

I asked Versa.

"Most of the body is made of water, it can be reshaped in any way, and the strike is almost as good as slashing. To get rid of it, you must break the core in the body I don't know, but I guess it changes position and takes evasive action when attacked. ''

"Isn't almost water effective for electric shock? Let's try it."

Once I opened the doorway and tried to attack with a stick that fired the electric ball used to exterminate the water spirit.

The result was not enough magic, and the slime solidified for an instant and was moving quickly. Rather, after the electric shock, he became a bit more agile. When I put all my magic at it, three died. However, this does not maintain magical power or is inefficient.

"So you have to make a desiccant!"

I closed the doorway again and I declared.

"When I came through the cave, there was a white rock formation, so let's go back a bit."

"Wait wait! Naoki, please explain!"

"It's faster to explain while watching the actual thing"

Leave the aisle restraint for the time being and walk down the passage to the formation where the white rock was. It's a wonderful thing about our company that they all follow us.

When illuminated with magic stone lights, a white wall emerged.

"This is probably limestone"

Start explaining while hitting the white wall.

"If you break this limestone, put it in a kiln and bake it, you should be able to make quicklime, a desiccant. Hit the desiccant against the slime and beat it!"

I said it was refreshing like a gymnastics brother. To be honest, I can only think of a desiccant to combat slime. So if you get angry in the backwaters rather than playfully, you feel like you're angry brightly.

"Ummm, Naoki, since when did you think?"

Aisle and Versa with their arms crossed.

"Actually, when I proposed to the evil god, I already thought that this would happen."

At that time, I just thought I'd experiment and make it someday. No way, the opportunity comes so soon.

"... I think the experiment is hard, but please!"

"I thought it was such a thing."

"Wow! This is Naoki."

"It sounds like the president."

"I'll follow the president!"

Somehow, our employees listen to me.

"You don't get rid of demons, improve your skills, or use magic to counter it."

Rita was impressed.

"Huh! Okay, I just need to make a kiln!"

Bow is already motivated.

After that, we divided ourselves and began to build a lime kiln while collecting limestone.

Of course, I did not go to build a lime kiln inside the cave, but decided to make it outside, but I discovered an unexpected weakness of slime while making space for the lime kiln.

"Yeah! Slime is not good at spicy things!"

Bersa shouted, "Yuriika!"

Outside the cave, Versa pumped red turbid liquid into the slime swarm. That liquid is a red jungle-like pepper-like plant soaked in water and concentrated.

The slime sprayed with liquid twisted back down into the swarm. As the liquid adhered to the other slimes, the slimes also twisted back down and gradually vacated space.

"It was good! Take a lot as a punishment game when Naoki skips!"

Versa, looking inside her backpack, checked the amount of pepper-like fruit.

Don't take that kind of thing!

Nevertheless, sprinkling red muddy liquid on the surrounding ground prevented the slime from approaching, so he praised Versa with "Did it!"

With the space available, Bow begins making lime kilns. To help Rita and Seth with one arm. Seth may not have had the opportunity to operate the boat after coming to the Southern Hemisphere, so he seems to want to help.

When I was in the world before, I remembered about the lime kiln I saw in the textbook, but explained it.

"Well, let's try things. Let's do various things!

Bow is willing to make lime kilns.

"By the way, what about fuel?"

Bow remembered what was important.

"I just wanted to use coal, but I guess this isn't there."

I took the magic stone out of the item bag and showed it.

"I think it would be nice to cut the magic circle of heating at the bottom of the pot, put the magic stone and limestone together, and continue heating until the limestone becomes powder. So a kiln that does not let the heat escape I'm sorry. "

"How are you going to raise the temperature?"

"Sure ... it wasn't hot enough to melt silver."

I desperately remember the memories of my previous life while scratching my ragged head.

"Silver coins are mixed with iron, so they melt a little ..."

There was an aisle with white powder on her face.

"If it's a powder, should it be finely crushed from the beginning?"

Mermo, who also stained the jumpsuit white, proposed with his arms crossed.

"Since this is so little magic and the magic is weaker, maybe it's better to heat it in a kiln for a few days?"

Versa, who was carrying a pump, also joined the story.

From that day, trial and error of desiccant making began.

We do not yet know that it takes more than a month for the desiccant to be ready.

In the first seven days, putting limestone in the kiln did not change its shape at all, rather than turning it into powder. The shape of the kiln repeated trial and error many times. There were various opinions, such as whether the chimney should be placed next to the kiln, the material for the kiln should be dry brick, or if it was too brittle.

"The heat from the magic circle doesn't get hot with small magic stones in the first place!"

"A big kiln is needed for that!"

"It's a real brick!"

On the night of the seventh day, Ayr, Versa and Bow were talking hotly while drinking.

Over the next seven days, they decided to build a brick kiln and collect the magic stone, the core of the slime.

"Wouldn't it be overkill to remove slime magic stones to eliminate slime!"

Ayl says, of course, but there is no other monster in the Southern Hemisphere.

The earth spirit gemstone was left in the Great Plains, and there was no water spirit gemstone, so I stopped when I said, "Let's use the red dragon magic stone."

"Take it as a last resort."

It was convinced that the Red Dragon's gem could only be used once, and it wasn't too late even after a full-fledged kiln was built.

Hunt slime without hurt because there is no other option.

First, ask Aisle and Seth to make a deep moat so that the slime cannot easily crawl. They were dug in a fan shape to protect our living space. Aisle dug rough ground with slashes, and Seth was shaping.

I spread the heated trap which improved the sticky trap on the bottom of the moat. When the slime is stepped on, it is heated by its own magical power, evaporating the body's moisture and leaving only the core magic stone.

One day after setting the heating trap, looking inside the moat, the shrunk slimes jumped up and down many times, trying to get out of the moat.

Scoop and collect the slime that has turned into a soccer ball using the insect net of Versa.

After that, cut the film on the surface with a knife and poke the gloved hand to take out the core magic stone. It was a moment when a way to defeat slime without damaging magic stones was established. However, of course, the moat and the heated trap are not enough to control the amount of slime, so a desiccant is still necessary.

The task of picking slime magic stones lasted six days.

It was around this time that the magical elements diffused out of the slime's body along with the water, and when I woke up, I felt that the magical power had recovered slightly. Until then, Seth, Melmo, and Rita were often out of magic without recovering any magic.

It was seven days later that a full-fledged lime kiln was built from bricks.

"I'm still missing enough bricks!"

Bow rarely complained, but he managed to make it. Already, limestone has been dug out of the cave and piled high at the entrance to the cave. The work of making the lime kiln and excavating the limestone is a part of the Komuro Company, and there is no holiday.

After that, repeat the experiment to find the appropriate amount of magic stone and burning time.

Meanwhile, Bersa and I have confirmed that there are also monsters in the Southern Hemisphere. It was a tiny monster that disassembled the slime that had taken out the magic stone. The deities that destroyed the southern hemisphere did not seem to notice.

Ten days after the construction of the brick lime kiln, the limestone finally turned into powder.

I carefully poured quicklime into the bag and sprinkled the slime outside the moat.

Juuuuuu! ! Bukubukubuku!

The range is small, but the effect is outstanding. The slime melts in an interesting way while raising smoke.

Slaked lime, which has been changed by a chemical reaction from slime core magic stone and quicklime, remains on the ground.

"Can it be used for something?"

Versa asked me who was collecting slaked lime in a bag.

"It can be used for disinfection, etc. And then mix it with highly acidic soil to make it more plant-friendly. Oh, don't put it in your eyes or mouth."

"I see, I guess it can be used for that. It's time to think about the food situation. If you keep this, the food in the item bag will be used up."

"Oh! Yeah. I don't know how much I'm in the southern hemisphere, but it would be dangerous if I had no way to get food."

"Let's find the waterside for now. Let's increase the aquatic plants used in the fishponds and increase them to use as fertilizer in the fields."

After the lime kiln was established, life in the Southern Hemisphere finally began to rotate.

Rita, Versa, and Melmo secure the food by growing the fields. We decided to manage the food in the remaining item bags.

Eliminate slime with me, Isle and Seth. Gather the slime magic stone and the remaining slaked lime.

Bow has become a major kiln and has been working on adjusting the amount of magic stones and making the second lime kiln.
