Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear

Kumayuru and Kumayu, who carried us on board, run down an abandoned path in the woods.

The falling trees are finely torn with my wind magic, and the finely cut trees are also blown with wind magic.

I'm surprised at the size of the slime, but it looks like we can get away with this.

"Mia!

When I am at ease, Carol on the cucumber screams.

When I look behind me, Mia's riding horse is delayed.

Normally, there's no way a normal horse can follow Kumayuru's speed.

Mia is forcing herself to run the horse. No famous horse can keep running at the highest speed.

Because I was riding Kumayuru and Kumayu, I forgot to consider Mia's riding horse.

"I'll be fine. I'm gonna slow down a little bit, so go ahead."

"That's not how..."

Carol worries.

"Yuna, sister"

Finna also looks worried to see Mia on the horse.

I use my detection skills to check the slime. The speed of movement of the slime fits and is in critical position within the detection skill.

If we get this far, we'll be fine.

"From here, let's go slowly"

I will slow down Kumayuru.

Mia's riding horse comes next door. The horse seemed to suffer because it seemed like it had been forced to run. There's no way I could run like Kumayuru, so I should have noticed you.

"Don't worry about me, go ahead"

"I'm not. Because you're telling me these kids are gonna be okay."

I touch the body that I ride.

"Really?

"Knock it off."

"So now it's okay to slow down"

Mia gives a hospitable look to my words.

We drop to a pace of walking.

"But it's so slow, are you sure you're okay? All of a sudden, they don't attack you from behind?

Mia checks around frightened with a chirp.

"If you come near me, these kids will teach you"

Whatever, I'll rely on Kumayuru and Kumayu. Mia and the others should be more comfortable with that.

"Yes, I get it. I trust you, so let me know when the slime approaches."

Mia looks at Kumayuru and Kumayu, doing her a favor.

"But is something like that water really slime?

Ask Carol to confirm.

"I checked with this eye. The liquid moved like it was willing. Definitely a slime. In the first place, the water is like that, don't move."

Mr. Kagari answers Carol's question.

The water I came after felt like jelly or water in a plastic bag moving. It's definitely not normal water. Plus, it shows slime with detection skills, so I'm pretty sure.

"Sure, slime would be just a demon eating bugs and leaves"

"Lord, you lack knowledge. Slime is the basics, not the most powerful creature you can live anywhere. Change the ecology in conjunction with the area. In hot places, it becomes more resistant to the heat, in cold places it becomes more resistant to the cold, and with poisonous marshes, it is the strongest demon that can live even in poisonous marshes. But I can see the demon stone in my body from the outside, so I'm told it's the weakest because it's easy to defeat."

Speaking of which, you had a lot of slimes in the game, too.

But a slime in a cold place, freezes?

Or, comfortable in the summer, hibernating slime?

"I've never seen a slime before, so there's no choice."

"If you want to be an adventurer, that's not what you need to know."

"Ugh..."

Kagari, who looks like a toddler, tells me the truth, and Mia stops making any grunt noises.

"But if that's slime, is that what makes it so big? If it's a monster that grows up, I think I know it."

"By nature, slime is not a small creature. But once in a while, they stick to each other and get bigger."

There was a game before where the slimes stuck together and got bigger. When you grow up, you inevitably become stronger, a beginner, or you can't defeat them at an early level.

"Because that's too big. They were bigger than animals and ordinary demons."

I agree with Mia about that.

Whatever it is, it's too big.

"I have trouble telling my concubine about that, but I'll correct it for once, but it's bigger than the Lord thinks. Swamps, ponds, maybe more."

Mia looks disgusted at Mr. Kagari's words.

Speaking of which, was Mr. Kagari the only one who saw the whole story?

I'm a detective skill, and I know the swarm of slimes, but I don't see what size it is with these eyes.

"So what do you do with that slime?

"Let's cheer it up. It's not like people live there. If there's any danger, some adventurer will take it down."

"There's no way you can take down a slime as big as a pond or a swamp."

"Well, if it wasn't for the damage, I'd be fine"

Sure, I think you can leave people alone if they're not in danger.

Even fierce demons must live in places we don't know about. If we don't intrude on the boundaries between people and demons, we don't need to be forced to defeat them.

If it was a game, I wouldn't be able to move on or get valuable items. It doesn't mean you don't have to knock down the slime, you can't move on, or you need a valuable item to knock down the slime and get it.

So I agree with what Mr Kagari thinks.

Fight, don't fight, leave it aside, in fact, can you defeat that slime?

Ever since I've come to this world, I've never fought Slime, I've never seen it. I never get a chance to see a giant slime, so I should have seen it with these eyes before I ran away.

On your return, you may want to come and see it alone, as you plan to set up a bear transfer gate.

"" Kuh-uh. ""

As we speak, Kumayuru and Kumaku sound.

Use detection skills.

Slime approaches.

"Are you following me?

"Not yet, it's far, but it seems he's slowly coming after us"

"That bear is really good."

"" Kuh-uh. ""

Kumayuru sounds happy at Mia's words.

"In the meantime, we're leaving this place."

"Mia, is the horse okay?

"Yeah, as long as it's not as fast as it was earlier"

We only slightly increase the speed at which we travel.

"But why does Slime come in the direction we go? We should be able to go in another direction, right?

"I don't know that"

I don't know what demons think. Well, they're slime.

"Maybe they're chasing us"

Finna, who was listening, opens her mouth.

"What do you mean?

"Your father said you have no eyes in the slime, so you're using the magic stone power in your body to see who you're dealing with."

It's the daughter of a boulder, demolisher, who knows all about the slime.

Maybe he's studying even where I don't know.

"So far apart, you mean you recognize us?

"Maybe it's bigger and wider range"

"Wait, so you're saying they're coming after us all the time?

"It's possible"

"Then when we go to the city,"

Carol asks one possibility.

"Don't be silly. That doesn't mean you can't go back to the city!

"If you're coming after the concubines, you're taking a giant slime into the city"

"Oh, no."

If we have to, we can escape at the bears' transfer gates. But Mia and the others don't either. Even if we escaped at the bear's transfer gate together, there's no guarantee anywhere we can come back. When I opened the bear's transfer gate, it was in the slime or something. It's a joke that's not funny.

"Then you can't go home to your sisters..."

Mia's face turns blue.

Even if the speed is slow, if they can follow us, the Mias will be followed by slime for the rest of their lives.

With the bear's transfer gate, you can escape, but you may never see your family again.

Whether I go to the city of Mia or not, it will be the same if I am followed by slime.

And then there's the way back from another route.

It's my way home from Crimonia, but I talk about the metastasis gates, and that's, like, going to stink.

"How could you do this?"

"Mia."

"It's my fault. I said I'd check the town of Heshlag, Carol, so I'm sorry I got involved."

"It's not Mia's fault. Mia just tried to do her best for her family."

"Besides, we haven't decided yet to follow the concubines. In the meantime, take a distance from the slime and make sure you're moving."

If we change directions but they follow us, Slime means they come after us.

We change direction and run out so as not to strain Mia's horse.

... Slime followed us, even as we redirected.
