Next Life

I don't have a name.

I don't even have a father and mother.

I don't have any friends.

I was born alone by the pond. [M]

I had a friend, but Goblin bullied me to death.

There's a guy named Goblin who can use magic, right?

Blah, blah, blah.

We slime are strong against blows, but we are weak against magic.

It's against the rules to use magic on a goblin's ass.

I steal the eyes of the goblins, and I travel there to prey on the worms.

I'm scared of goblins, so I can't eat squirrels or rabbits or any delicious rice.

I wonder if someone could take out the goblins.

Hoping so while I preyed on the bat, I heard something like footsteps.

Could be goblins.

We have to hurry and hide.

I flinch in the shade of grass. [M]

Sometimes, who will come?

As I killed my breath and waited, one of the goblins showed up.

Oh, he's a goblin mage.

You can use magic on your goblin jerk, it's an anomaly.

Come on, don't notice this way.

Go quickly, please.

Why are you looking at me?

And why are you coming here!

Are you aware of me?

Huh? Lies? Why, did they find you?

Goblin Mage comes all the way to the grass shade where I hide, laughing at Nitanita, grazing with the cane in her hand.

And my eyes are on me. [M]

Ugh, wow, help me!

I roll away desperately.

"[Fire]"

You used magic on me like that!

Fireballs fly and hit my body.

Hot, painful, hot, hot, painful, painful.

I keep rolling desperately and manage to escape into the pond.

It was cold and the wound hurt, but the relief was greater.

Even if the magic of Goblin Mage is amazing, it just doesn't get to the inside of the pond.

As I stood there, I saw Goblin Mage peering into the pond.

Hey, what the hell, you go away.

Or are you still going to do something?

As I watched from time to time, Goblin Mage threw a stone into the pond!

I was in a hurry, but my body flushes, so I'm fine with the stones.

When you stood still, you eventually gave up, or you went.

Good, thank God.

Let's just sit tight in the pond for a while.

Maybe he's hiding, pretending he's gone.

After a while, I'll go outside the pond.

I'll look around, but nothing seems to be there.

Did you go somewhere?

I leave the pond in awe. [M]

You're kind of hungry when you calm down.

Let's grab a bat or a frog and eat.

"[Fire]"

All of a sudden I hear a voice like that and a fireball hits my body.

Ouch, and hot.

Surprised and turning around, the goblin mage just now nibbles and comes this way.

Shit, I didn't give up.

The pond is beyond the goblin mage and... duh, what do we do?

After thinking about it, I realized that the part where I was hit with a fireball didn't hurt any more than it did earlier.

How could it be what?

Was it meant to surprise you, and was it an understatement?

Either way, this is your chance.

That's about it, maybe we can get away with it.

I roll away desperately.

Go around like a circle and manage to get inside the pond.

"[Fire]"

Fireballs fly again, but now they're off.

Good, it doesn't look like that much of a hit rate.

That's right.

I'm desperate to escape, and I can't wait to get so pompous.

"[Fire]"

He flew in three times, and now he's hit.

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

Still, it wasn't as good as before.

Did you emphasize ease of guessing?

I don't even know if I think about it.

So desperate to escape.

"[Fire]"

The fourth time it flies, but it came off again.

If you keep it off, I'll put it in the pond.

That's what I think, I roll crazy though I die.

And I managed to jump into the pond.

You didn't come the fifth shot after all.

Could it be that he's out of magic?

I don't know, but I'm sorry it hurts anymore.

Let's grow up to the limit.

I am slime, so I can stay in the pond for a day or so if I feel like it.

Let's make the rice into aquatic plants or fish.

I prefer bugs, but I can't say luxury.

I don't want to die.

I shall stand still. [M]

When I'm hungry, I roll down the bottom and move, going for grass and fish.

I don't have a big guy in this pond, but I'm not a big eater, so I'm fine.

But it gets dark around and it just gets harder when it gets brighter again.

Would Goblin Mage have given up already?

I don't think you can be chasing me around forever, but I just had a sore eye, so I can't be alarmed.

That said, you should make room for a bit or so.

It could block the way to the pond again.

I never float my mind and try to get out of the pond.

Look around, but nothing.

But I've been attacked before.

Maybe he was hiding so I couldn't find him.

Is he still here?

That brings the question to a boil and makes me hesitate to move.

They attacked me away from the pond before, so if I don't move here for a second, maybe I'll be safe?

If you think so and stay still for a while, there will be a retreat and a noise.

I looked back soon but with the intention of escaping into the pond, I knew there was a goblin mage.

Wouldn't you be too persistent with anything for as long as you want?

"[Fire]"

Faster than I run into the pond, a fireball flies in and hits me.

That? Doesn't hurt a lot?

Well, why not?

Goblin Mage looked irritated when I was surprised,

"[Fire]"

They fly more fireballs.

I hit it again this time, but it still didn't hurt.

Is that it? Why isn't it hurting?

Goblin Mage is also somewhat surprised.

Let's get out of here while we can.

I jumped into the pond again. [M]

If you're dealing with a goblin, this is the safest place.

There were times when I thought so.

What a bunch of goblin mages he's brought with him, throwing more and more stones at the pond.

The water clouds, the fish that hits the stone gets hurt, and I go out of the pond angrily.

Come on, man! You're gonna screw up the pond!

I wanted to say, I wanted to stop by and get beat up.

Attacks with sticks and swords don't work on me, but they must be unpleasant.

I have no choice, so I roll over and get out.

Then the goblins come after us.

It was the beginning of the chase.

Even if they keep rolling desperately, the goblins follow them persistently.

It was just a snare, and when I was about to give up, something sounded amazing.

I was surprised, I was scared, but I was hoping maybe I could get away from the goblins, and I'd come closer to those who made the noise.

What happened, the ground was heavily snagged, and there was sand smoke.

When it disappears, you see the likeness of three women.

I have a really bad feeling about something...... especially the one in the middle.

The guy hasn't done anything but he can't stop shaking his body.

Hey, I wonder what it is, this guy.

There are two other women, and these people are putting together some bad signs.

Why? How could these people be here?

"Well, have you noticed our power? That seems like a lot of potential."

A man with purple eyes in the middle says it in a way that impresses him for some reason.

The goblins who came after me all at once.

Huh? You're lying. Why are you attacking me? They'll kill you.

Looking surprised, a purple-eyed person moves his arms gently.

The trees are knocked down by great noise and wind.

The goblins were out of shadow and shape.

also, could it have erased it with the current blow......?

Oh, that's stupid.

I can't believe what happened in front of me.

In just a moment, the forest is collapsing.

Who the hell is this guy?

"Hmm."

You must have done a hell of a thing, but you're approaching me like a walk.

Why are you coming to me?

I'm not delicious!

"Mmm? Sure slime didn't taste good..."

Women say terrible things.

Have you eaten?

Could it be a slime-eating monster?

Or do you see what I'm thinking?

"No, it's just a thought"

It's definitely not just a hunch!

to, I have to run...... but the moment I escape, I feel an earlier attack coming.

An attack that wiped out the goblins at a speed we don't know what happened.

Oh, that's inevitable.

I don't know how far I've come. [M]

When she was ready, the woman's face was again impressed with the wind.

"Well, have you made up your mind not to run away? He's quite promising."

Oh, that? Did they like me?

So, then it helps...?

I'd rather be saved than killed, wouldn't I?

"Oh, I'm not gonna kill a monster, am I?

Huh? No, you just erased the goblins, didn't you?

I don't have a single goblin that keeps the prototype?

"That just paid off the dust"

It was only pale and that's why I shook up.

If I accidentally piss this guy off, it's a "dirt-removing" task, and he gets wiped off.

"Don't be so frightened. You liked it. I'll make you my man for now."

Bu, are you a subordinate? How can I help?

"You, you would have endured the magic of Goblin Mage, wouldn't you? There's no way you can do that to just slime. I mean, there's a chance."

I don't know.

Sure, the magic attack stopped hurting over time, but that was just goblin's temper. What?

"Hmm? A little bit, you, you even have learning skills? Maybe it's a dig."

Ra, Ra, what? I don't know, but he's laughing with great pleasure.

I don't know, I have a hell of a bad feeling about it.

"For now, don't bore me. And don't let me down. That's it."

Yep.

You don't know what to do, do you?

"I'm looking for a monster that's going to be strong. To grow strong. Good luck and be strong."

Yes.

I felt awesome in a calm tone, and I was desperate to snort.

I was anxious to see if you could understand the snort of the slime, but apparently he figured it out with a "look".

"I'm Aulanis. It's Aulanis the Demon King."

Ma, demon king?

Sure, we monster superiors, demon kings?

That's why I'm strong.

I'm not as good as a goblin. I'm all convinced.

"What's your name?

That's what bothered me. [M]

I don't have a name. [M]

"You don't have a name? Then I'll follow you."

It's a flow I can't say I don't like.

I wouldn't say a cool name, but at least I'd like a name that's not embarrassing.

"Right...... how about a decarabia? Strong, isn't it?

Uh, maybe?

I don't know, but it doesn't sound like a weird name, so I'll take it.

"Your name is Decarabia. Be the Demon King at best and enjoy me."

Yes.

If I don't entertain him, he's going to turn it off.

I don't know how strong you can be, but I'll do my best.

"Well, if you don't entertain me, I might accidentally crush you."

Wow, this guy seems unreasonable.

Ask your men from yourself.

"Oh, these guys are Iris and Sophia. My men. Get along, all right? You won't last a second."

I realize it even if you haven't told me.

Maybe these people are demon kings, too.

Does the Demon King have a relationship up and down, too?

That is why I, Decarabia, became a subordinate of Aulanis the Demon King.

May you be properly strong.

And please don't let them kill you.
