- What a prism slime up and looking at this one like he's one of us.

Do you want me to keep you company?

▼ Yes

▼ No

... a scene of a nostalgic game was played in my brain, and this is how I expressed it, but I almost screamed a lot of joy.

"I'm surprised... Speaking of which, you could even taste the demons. Shouldn't we stop being human now?

Ignore Ray's gaze, which is increasingly treating me like a monster, and bite his own luck.

Let's talk about why we've come to such a result in order.

I had no choice but to visit the Powdall Wetlands with Ray because Ren suddenly complained of his illness today, even though the two twins were supposed to come together.

The beautiful scenery seemed to have worked hard to fix her mood, but I was the one in trouble.

After I arrived on the ground, I had my sister and brother relax, and in the meantime I was planning to take my skills away from the slime, but it made it harder for me to act differently when I was alone.

The excuse is troublesome when you see an extremely suspicious act of making a moderate attack on the prism slime you encounter and deliberately letting it escape to merge with other slimes to heal your wounds and grow the rare ex-magic skills in your possession before taking them away.

When I'm worried about what's going on, I can't wait to see the prism slime show up only when that happens.

Asking Ray not to get his hands on it, watching as he thinks about it - he seems to be a demon who possesses former magic while his opponent is also weak, and has used the magic of each attribute.

It's something clever, something that comes in sequence with flamebullets, water bullets, wind blades, rock bullets, dark fog, and light bullets, so I did it by offsetting all this with the magic of opposite attributes while working out countermeasures.

I don't know if that was the hang-up.

Maybe he was also interested in the fact that this one can handle ex-magics.

The six-colored Prism Slime slowly approached me, moving his tender body with Prune and demonstrating a willingness to dialogue.

- Thus, Prism Slime became a new companion.

Luke bought it at the Beast Shop, and Kroko is a demon who took it from a man who was an enemy.

I can't forbid joy because this is the first time I've tasted wild demons.

"All right. So let's merge with the other slimes?

It twists the fluid-shaped body as if it were an indication of understanding and misses the hindsight as it disappears into the wetlands.

His body, brilliant in six colors, was glittering in the light of the sun.

And I'm sure my eyes would have glistened, too.

The first directive I gave to Prism Slime - let's call it Prim from now on - is to repeat the merger with other slimes and increase the proficiency of former magic skills.

I knew it would merge with other slimes when I pinched it, but Tame made it possible to aggressively merge it myself. Needless to say, it's efficient.

If I could get my grown former magic skills from Prim, my magic LV would improve dramatically.

It's just a dream story to just wait.

"- It's still a little early for lunch, but I think we should secure Luke's lunch."

Let me relax because I no longer have to rush around chasing the slime in a hurry.

"Then I'll help the eagle too. I have to get this kid ready."

He expressed his approval as Ray stroked the head of the horseman beside him.

By the way, she's riding a borrowed horseback at the store as far as the Powdal Wetlands.

Whoa, Luke's fine with you two riding, so you wanna ride with him? The voice hung up.

I was wondering what I was going to do, so when I pressed my heartbeat that it was no problem because I didn't look tired of Luke riding with Rim in the past, I suddenly said I was going to rent a horseback at the store.

We have Mr. Dario's special lunch box, so it's no problem, but Luke and Ray's riding beast share has to be procured locally.

Fortunately, the number of animals living here is high because it is a wetland zone.

Big beasts aren't wandering around like the woods, but birds and the like gathering in the water fields would be impeccable prey.

Occasionally, light slime and flame slime appeared, but immediately slashed and discarded to recover the nuclear balls.

The nuclear balls are going to be brought back in a certain amount because they have been requested by the Alliance this time as well.

Among other things,

"... Found"

Whispering small, Ray, who was walking in front, stopped walking.

If you follow the end of your gaze, a few birds are swarming and resting their wings.

The head is red and the chest is a beautiful emerald color. The body is wrapped in brown wings, and the tail feathers would be splendid and have dozens of centimeters.

"It's a lilac bird. It's delicious."

"Really?

"Yes, because it's a good ingredient to boil and bake. It's enough to feed the horseman."

"Huh. If it's so good, I'd love to try it too."

The shrubs and the aquatic plants are hiding us, but if we get any closer, they'll notice.

Even if Luke's legs are fast, there's nothing he can do when he can just escape into the sky.

Here's one, let's try to pin it down with a ranged attack from its current position.

Due to the absence of bows and other combinations, consciousness was concentrated and air blades were created with wind magic.

"I'll try. Ray and Luke are staying here - and what are you doing!?"

Seeing, Ray, next door, has a throwing knife, which leads to Luke trying to concentrate light in his mouth and spit out a dragon brace.

"This is... early winner - Yikes"

"Quaaah."

"Hey!

Losing to both of us, I hurried to release the blade of the wind.

The flying wind blade stays at all costs only to plunder the body of the lilac bird.

The next thing that struck the herd was a running stream of photothermal dragon braces.

Several lilac birds are involved and instantly disappear.

"Hey...... Luke. What are you going to do with the prey? There's no point in hitting him."

"Qua? Quo......"

Apparently, he's mourning his failure, too, so I don't have to say any more.

"Oh, didn't you get one after all..."

As he drops his shoulders wide as if to represent his disappointment with his body, Ray, who was lying on his side, loosens his cheeks and looks down from the top to pour his gaze this way.

Why the doya face?

"The eagle knife hit the prey right."

"... are you serious?!?"

He rushed over to the place where the flock flew, and found himself a lilac bird lying on the ground. The knife that pierced her body is indeed hers.

- And two.

"Oh, did you take one off?"

There are three throwing knives in Ray's possession in all.

Well, that's pretty good.

"Hey, give me a taste, too."

"I don't like it. Get your share."

Hmm. It is as clear as a refusal.

"Do something there"

"Yi-ya."

"... oh, yeah. Fine then. I'll hunt for something more amazing. Look at that."

- The time is midday.

By the time the sun reached Jomtien, it entered lunchtime.

Luke eats his own tailored prey with guts, and the horseman who has put Ray on board chews and swallows the meat of the horn ravioli she has caught looking delicious.

And speaking of me, I had a special lunch in one hand.

No, I'm not going to complain about this lunch box at all.

However, when I see the lilac bird being seared in the burning fire in front of me, it honestly recesses.

"- Yes, thank you for dismantling me, I'll give you one."

After all, I couldn't hunt for my prey.

I was proud to possess excellent offensive power there in close and medium range combat, but I didn't know I could be satisfied with the hunt either. Funny.

Did the salvation mean that you could have tried the sharpness of the new knife that Mr. Zig had built for you? The fruit knife, completed by working out phosphorous dragon crystals, was also able to chop and tear like a fruit, such as a thick bone.

Comfortable to use.

Bear the flavor with the seasoning that was stocked in the tool bag and hit the meat.

"Ah... delicious"

"Right?"

As for Ray trying to get on with it again, it's totally through compatible, but this is delicious.

Flying through the sky from day to day, the forged meat is moderately tight and does not mean that it is low in fat. The broiled and melted gravy entertains my tongue from the moment I cheek up.

It is also interesting to try that the prepared salt brings out even more flavor and changes the flavor with dried vegetables and fruit powder (stock seasoning).

...... but I couldn't eat a whole bunch of them because of Dario's lunch too.

"Yes... I think I'll feed him the rest of it"

While this one is relaxing and enjoying the meal, Prim works hard to keep the merger going.

I threw the fireball on my hand toward the sky and burst it to prominence.

- After a while, Prim showed up trying to scratch the aquatic plants.

"You're getting a little big."

I was aware that when the slime merged, my body would grow about a turn. Prim, which was originally about half my size, but has undergone several stages of growth.

As he brought the lilac bird closer to his body, he was taken Zubuzub into the fluid-shaped prime.

"Isn't that delicious?

The prim, which shakes the body with a pull to express its joy, dissolves and digests the meat as it looks at it.

- Well, and.

This is the most fun moment of the day.

I double-checked the former magic skills that Prim possesses.

Former Magic LV1 (26/50)

You're doing well. By the way, it was "Ex-Mac LV1 (7/50)" at first.

Did they merge about three times...... hmm?

"Huh? Are you tired already today?... Oh well. Better not be too pushy."

Apparently, a combination also uses health.

Hmm. What's the matter?

It's good to have gained proficiency, but should I get skills from Prim today or not?

Should we ask them to continue their activities in the Powdal Wetlands in the future and raise more LVs before doing so?

There is a chance that activating Bandit's Spirit (Liot Glass Parlor) will fail.

That's why until now we've had more possibilities to keep the slime in one go and deprive them of their skills.

If you fail to take your skills away from an individual who has repeatedly amalgamated many times, the struggle until then is blistering.

Then it would have been more efficient to prepare and take away a few individuals who merged only once, given the probability at the moment.

I don't think I was wrong, considering that if I did poorly, they would get away with it.

But I don't have to worry about being able to get away with it now that Prim is one of us, and I feel better after we grow more. We need to keep our basic chances of success as high as possible by then.

... but wait a minute.

In the first place, I was thinking on the assumption that I would get skills from Prim, but what about humanly taking skills flat from the person I became one of?

This is the first thing to think about, but I can't deny that Prim had his head in a flower garden with the joy of being one of us.

With a troubled look on his face, Prim comes beside him and shivers his body.

"Your husband. I'll do my best to merge tomorrow, so please support me '

Devotional primal narratives have allowed me to grow more and more guilty of what I'm trying to do.

... I guess I should just keep my prim strong now?

Leaving it in the powdal wetlands will definitely grow rapidly. Wouldn't it be great to have company stronger?

"Hey... Didn't you get another favor in your guild?

"Huh?... ah"

Ray slaps me gently on the shoulder as I stand troubled.

Apart from receiving a request to collect slime nuke balls in the Powdal Wetlands, the Leruno Chamber of Commerce and others had issued a request to cooperate in collecting demonic materials.

They're dealing with a strong demon there, and when Siena introduced me as an adventurer who matches the criteria, they admitted it.

I could have said no, but that would have put mud on Mr. Siena's face, who recommended me.

There's no way I can do that.

"It was. We need to get to the rendezvous point."

The place isn't that far from here in the Powdall Wetlands.

It should mark a big tree such as Ergo Daiki and join the others.

I decided to switch my thoughts and put on hold what I would do with Prim's former magic skills.

Let's start by asking the merger to encourage us in this powdal wetlands zone every day.

"Is that it? That slime...... are you leaving it here?

I agree with Ray, who raised his doubts.

"Environmentally, it's going to make life easier here, so I'm going to leave it for now."

"Huh. Then you have to be careful not to be hunted by other adventurers."

... What, you say?

"Because there are adventurers and mercenaries coming to collect the nuclear balls of the slime. You don't know it from the side, and there's a good chance you'll be exorcised as just a demon."

... was it possible?

I was completely oblivious.

Even as we fortify our former magic from now on, if we are surrounded by multiple adventurers, even Prim will be hit.

Then I'll take you home...?

But that would make it impossible to fortify the prime.

As of today, I've taken away my skills... and no, you don't.

"I want to take you home because I'm worried, but if I do..."

It's hard to decide right away.

But time passes by a moment.

"I wish I had two bodies."

Leaking a twinkle that wasn't meant for anyone, beside me conceiving it - Prim started shaking his body into small pieces.

"Hmm?"

Gradually, my soft body is shaken hard to the left and right, and I get anxious that it will cut a thousand pieces.

"Whoa... what are you doing? Stop because you're scared..."

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! It's out of a thousand. Oooh!! What are you doing?!?"

I saw such a shocking sight that I accidentally made my voice absurd.

... Yes, no, wait.

Could it be... this.

Slime sometimes merges...... so what's the other way around?

When I looked closely, I could confirm that the nucleus balls floated fluffy in the center also on the body that had been cut off a thousand times.

Prim rocking his body with Prune - what a pair.

Seriously, huh?

The body became smaller, and although the former magical proficiency in possession was divided equally, it appeared to have split brilliantly.

"Prim...... you, can we split?

"If it's for your husband, I'll do my best"

...... come on! What a good boy.

I think until now, honest prims feel extra cute because Luke, who refuses to ride a beast if he gets in a bad mood, has always had all the demons of habit, such as Kroko, who treats me like a stalker.

- In the end, one has his former magic skills strengthened by having the merger repeated in the Powdal Wetlands as it is.

I decided to take the other one home.

Ride Luke to get Prim behind you and head to Ergo Daiki, your destination.

On the road, I honestly told Prim what I was trying to do.

"Go ahead. Help me to your husband."

The power of the skills you possess.

Prim was also tolerant of taking it away.

"... think about it"

◆ ◆ ◆

- When we arrived safely at Ergo Daiki, we saw some shadows in the distance.

Probably the people seconded by the Leruno Chamber of Commerce.

"Four. You're all somewhat armed."

Ray, who walks side by side next door, said the observations.

They're going to deal with strong demons there, so I guess the Chamber of Commerce is sending mercenaries as well.

Get close and get off Luke's back and finish greeting briefly.

"Hello, nice to meet you"

"... oh. Are you the adventurer from the guild? Nice to meet you."

A man with a tender face entered this way and asked for a handshake.

"Heh. Beautiful colored slime. Did you tame him?

The man with his eyes on Prim is nodding as impressed.

"Yeah. So can I talk to you in detail about this request?

"... ok. For this subject, the Chamber of Commerce tells us to capture him alive. But if we can get the parts we need, we'll have no problem killing them."

Live catcher. That looks like a pretty broken bone.

"Okay. So, what kind of demon is it? If we catch him alive, we'll surround him with more than one."

"Oh. No problem with that"

"Huh...?

The moment I listened back - behind my back, I heard an unpleasant noise called dochary.

Looking back, what's rolling on the ground is a body of fluid brilliant in six colors.

A crack ran on the nucleus balls and is about to crumble.

P...... rim?

What the hell is going on?

Who the hell did this to you?

I've decided that. Isn't there a man with a sword in his hand right there?

"Become!? What are you doing!

"Ah. It was my chance to interrupt every slime. My sword's arm is suspected."

What...

"Saiji, hold on tight. Yo."

Ray gave me a drink, which calms the thought that was confusing me somehow.

"This is a continuation of the earlier conversation. The problem you've been worried about, you can say it's already solved."

What... to?

- This is how we're surrounded.

The four men surrounded me and Ray not to let them get away.

"Is the operation to cut power before resisting to keep the subject alive a failure? The part you need - they say you can kill me if you can get the information... are you willing to talk to me?

"I don't know what you're talking about."

What do you want me to tell you?

"- You're a bad guy. That's what I'm talking about."

This wild man's voice sounds familiar.

It was each mercenary - Curros - who showed up from behind the trunk of the great tree.

"Did you think you could just sell me a fight and keep it that way? It's not about money, it's about doctrine, but this could be your chance to make money."

Unless it's a coincidence that you were able to encounter a rare demon called a scorching hot tyrant, you might be able to obtain a large quantity of valuable material.

If there's anything karaki there, you'll want to know, even if it extends to some abusive behavior.

Did you fan the Chamber of Commerce... Curros?

But...

"This request came from the Leruno Chamber of Commerce. It wasn't the Karnak Chamber of Commerce. Besides... you know what sanctions you'll get later from your guild if you do this even though you took it as a formal guild request?

The Adventurer Guild is responsible for the requests the Adventurer receives.

Adventurers trust such guilds to undertake requests.

If it's a proper chamber of commerce, even the guild wouldn't suspect that.

But do you know how dangerous the act of deceiving the Adventurer Guild and smearing mud on trust can be?

"The Chamber of Commerce. There are connections."

Curros continues his words as he jerks off his inert beard.

"I know about the fear of the Adventurer Alliance. I'll take him alive for sure... but if we're gonna be honest here, I'm gonna let him choose an easy way to die. No mouth for the dead."

I see. Wouldn't it be a problem if the guild didn't have someone to report to?

Assuming he's caught alive, he'll be killed when he's used up.

"I'm not talking, I'm not talking"

"Right. Then I can't help it... but you're the only one who's going to make it alive. I'll kill the woman over there after she entertains me at best. You want me to slow down and let you know how it feels to watch your buddy woman get rambled up by a bunch of guys."

"Worst. Nasty. Disgusting. Die."

This one just calmed me down a little, thanks to Ray, who has a sincerely fed up look and spits out all the words in his head.

"... you shut up for a second"

"Ahem?

"You can't hear this guy..."

One knee on the ground and speak to the prim that is going to melt away now.

It's only a matter of time before the balls are completely crushed.

'I can't do this anymore. But... there's another me. Don't worry about it.'

That said, Prim squeezes his last force to make his own body touch my hand.

... Ok.

Listening to Prim's wishes, I activated the Bandit's divine moves as they were.

At the same time as the warm sensation is conveyed, what lies at the core of the prime makes a pakin 'noise and smashes away.

Prune and his trembling body lost its elasticity, dissolving like water and disappearing to the ground.

"Still, how does it feel to keep demons company? Can I even use it for hunting practice in my spare time? Hiccup."

"... hey Ray"

"What?

Focus your consciousness on the men around you and speak to her next door as you read your status.

"In the Powdal Wetlands. I was shocked that I couldn't hunt for my lunch prey."

"... yes"

"I want to get my honor back."

"Why don't you just like it?

"Oh. I will"

Pull the fruit knife out of the holster and set it up.

The men to be besieged had reacted in various ways to being stunned or ridiculed by such acts.

From Curos, are the splendid twin swords on your hips decorative? And my voice goes up.

To Silver Sword Blanche, Black Sword Noir.

"Oh. Excuse me. I'm not going to use this now because it's for combat."

What we're going to do is not fight.

"Dealing with the beastly retards is far too much."

- This is a hunt.

"You gotta be kidding me. Shit. Hey, beat him to death about one of his arms!

In response to the words of Curros, the man who slashed Prim wields his sword.

He kicked off the ground with an impulse of anger and instantly packed the distance until in time a short weapon called a fruit knife arrived.

As it is, a blow is inflicted on the flank of the opponent's sword, screaming as it scatters a spark.

Smaller knives are easy to handle due to their lightness.

The opponent's torso broke less easily when a second shock struck him in a position that was no different in dimension from the first blow in a row.

"- This knife. Isn't that a good cut?

There is naturally no blade spill on a silver knife.

"Everybody... I'm gonna dismantle you."
