Living in this World with Cut & Paste

Lesson 16 First Request, Weakest Demon Slime

I woke up in the morning at a time when it wasn't yet bright, and I geared up and headed for my usual hunt into the woods.

I plan to get my first request today, because I wanted to see how the new knife I bought yesterday was doing first.

I have encountered potato worms and sheep, but in order to improve my proficiency, I will first only finish with wind magic.

After defeating several potato worms, I was finally able to encounter an orc.

"Well, I wonder what the new weapon looks like..."

Stand there whining like that, first taking your skills away from the orc, who is a first-hand and prey.

All the skills I already have, so I'll stick them on the ground and throw them away appropriately.

Then start the fight by hanging [Auxiliary Magic/Speed Decreasing] [Auxiliary Magic/Sleep] on yourself.

This was the case before, but thanks [Auxiliary Magic/Sleep] feels difficult to work with.

I couldn't get it to work because I got resisted this time.

Would a weaker monster than an oak work better?

Or will it work a little more if I gain proficiency?

Looks like the [auxiliary magic/speed reduction] one managed to work, and the operation of the oak became visibly dull.

I checked to see how it was, and I ran out for the oak.

"Something feels better about your body than before, is this the effect of increased levels?

With that in mind, I punch in the [magic/wind] underfoot look of the oak.

I couldn't avoid [magic/wind] in the dull moving oak, so I hit it straight away.

With his leg chopped, he pulled his leg wide and fell forwards.

I struck another shot [magic/wind] into an oak falling into the depression.

"Bwwwww!!!

He screamed and slashed his newly acquired steel dagger in a gap where he was suffering from pain.

"... Huh?

The resistance to cut off the meat I felt the other day, without feeling it at all, the right arm of the oak was severed and rolled down to the ground.

And when I let the dagger slide straight next to me, I still cut off the oak's head in half across the side without feeling any resistance at all.

I can't hide my surprise at the amputation without feeling any resistance to the skull.

"What, this cleavage... my uncle assures me"

Of course, I think the use of [AUTO ARM] will have a significant impact.

But it's too different than this one from the feeling of cutting meat I felt in the last fight.

Originally, the oak has a very strong body skin and does not pass through the blade inside. I literally tore that apart in no time.

With this dagger, it would definitely seem a lot easier in the battle ahead, as my uncle said.

While expressing my sincere gratitude to my uncle, I dismantle the oak I just defeated with [cut] and throw it into the storage bag.

It's getting brighter, so maybe we could go to the guild.

I thought so and decided to go home once.

Of course, don't forget to use [Handsome Feet (Small)] [Foot Strengthen/Small].

We need to develop some proficiency in this way.

Naturally, the trees and grass on the road also travel while using [appraisal/all].

Thus, the morning hunt ended safely.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

"Good morning!

Quickly, I went to the counter for the exclusive receptionist and plugged in my guild card.

Then, as was explained yesterday, Mr. Aisha will be here shortly.

"Good morning, Mr. Mine.... Oh, you're new to gear, huh? You look good inside. Is it black wolf leather? That armor."

Aisha tells me I look good, and I blush unexpectedly.

I'm going to hit the material in this armor at first glance, and Mr. Aisha is an amazing person after all.

"You're going to take the request today, aren't you? Let's start with a bang request and rank it up to level E."

That's what he said, and he showed me three requisitions.

"I've held these three pieces for you, Mine, under exclusive authority, and I'm going to explain them to you now, so can you listen to me?

It's a request Aisha looked for for me, I'm sure I won't have to ask for an explanation, but I'll make sure you listen and don't get hurt properly and make sure you get back here safely.

The first thing Aisha showed me was, unexpectedly, a "crusade of slime".

When it comes to slime, even if you are famous as the weakest demon and have no fighting skills, you can defeat it if you fight carefully.

How much I had just grown up and although I was an F, I didn't know why I was dealing with Slime.

"Slime......?

I guess you found me in trouble, Mr. Aisha. I've been laughing and explaining why.

"As a matter of fact, slime oil is depleting my life in the town of Lunawan, and it's definitely going to be a big deal as it goes on."

Slime oil is the fuel used at home for lighting, lanterns for adventurers diving into the labyrinth, etc.

There is even a slime where a human being named Slime of Cultivation is kept to take the material.

Essential fuel for maintaining the town, that's why slime oil.

It seems that something important for such people to live in is depleted in the town of Lunawan, quite far from here.

When some stupid bandit went into Renawan town to steal everything, he set fire to it and made an escape.

Unfortunately, there was a reservoir of slime oil right on the side of the place that lit it, and that burned all at once.

The burning direction was even worse, and they burned it down to the slimes they were cultivating.

Of course there was oil that I had stockpiled, but naturally I would consume it if I had time.

So the mayor of Renawan made a request to the Alliance for rescue.

"The slime itself, as you know, is the weakest demon, so it won't be money where it's hunted, nor will it be appreciated as a contribution to the Alliance. But now that we're in this situation, we're not going to get a lot of money, but we're just not going to make a fool of ourselves for contributing points to the Alliance. Until the supply settles…"

So, Mr. Aisha can tell by going so far, can't he? And I laugh nicotineously.

Well, maybe it does taste good.

"But you're glad I brought this request exclusively, even though it's such an unsavory situation?

"You've noticed a good place, actually, today is the only day I can surround this request. The official announcement is due tomorrow, so you can only receive it first."

I asked Aisha for more details.

"I can't help but melt a little oil from every town in Lunawan and avoid the danger. So don't worry."

Yeah, I see.

Sure, then, maybe.

If we don't gather enough, we'll be in a lot of trouble.

Of course, I'll do my best to take a lot of it, but I really have my own limitations.

"Okay! Make sure you let me take that!!

"Okay! Then the other two requests..."

That's what I said, and he told me the rest of the two pieces.

- Collection of 20 herbs 50 copper coins

· 5 Goblin Crusades 2 Silver Coins (henceforth, 5 Silver Coins for every 5)

It was these two.

Aisha said that it is a request that can be made at the same time while defeating the slime, so it is efficient to take it.

Eventually, as Aisha suggested, I decided to take three requests.

He then set off from the town of Lucas towards the northern forest in order to accomplish his request.
