The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

Afternoon

- That's why.

After much thought, Niki told you briefly about the introduction and helpfulness of all the slime species I have, and how some of them have evolved.

I look interesting at all kinds of slime lined up at a desk in a dining room where people are gone, and it doesn't feel bad... what do you think?

"Is there anything else you'd like to hear or any interested slime?

"Mmm... then Medicine Slime! I have to get to my neighbor village if I get hurt from a major illness or something, so it would seem convenient if I had this guy."

Thoughts and other true reasons......

"Sure, I can give you body fluids that will be disinfectants and scratch pills, and a few injuries will help you treat them adequately. But I can give you poison, and the food is poison and medicine, so Medicine is difficult to manage. Then I can use healing magic, and I personally recommend heel slime, which is just water and sunbathing."

"Oh well... but slime that can use magic is rare and expensive if you sell it, isn't it? Your brother's got five different kinds to go with his heel slime."

"Yeah. In my case, it's because the slime I keep has evolved, but they usually don't know how many years it takes to find it. There are five of them, and someone familiar with the Warcraft said it's not a good idea to have them all.

I'm not familiar with the price either... but it seems that there are quite a few aristocrats who want "things that others don't have," so sometimes the price increases. Maybe it's affordable to have as a “rare pet” to brag about. "

"... I know why, but I don't know how that feels"

"You don't have to worry about it. You'll see, and I don't think you'll have any trouble knowing for the rest of your life"

It's people's sexuality that compares them to others. Someday they will realize and suffer as adults. If you can't help but compare, then you won't suffer from it either, so I guess that's fine.

"Hmmm...... Ah, bye! You said earlier that the bait you eat will change your evolution, but if you keep eating fish, will it be fish slime or something? Oh, my God, are there any of those?

"There are too many places where slime evolves, and even researchers don't seem to grasp it... I don't know if there's a fish slime, but I think it's possible.

My metal slime and iron slime, for example, but the evolution was divided by whether these two types ate multiple metals in the same soil on the same land or only iron. Considering that, like the iron was iron, copper, tin, lead… I think if there was a slime that would only eat certain metals, there would likely be another different slime "

What's more, it's only my idea that evolutionary destinations change depending on what you feed on, and I'm beginning to wonder if that's a little wrong these days, too.

"Am I wrong?

"Uh, isn't it a little right to say a mistake"

So far as I've been observing...... especially for the stickies, poisons, acids, and cleaners I've been studying since the early days, I've also been able to control and reproduce where the slime evolves by the food I actually give. So it doesn't seem wrong in itself that diet affects evolution.

"But you say something is missing... I think that meals are one of the conditions that determine where to evolve, and there are still other conditions that divide the evolution of some slime.

Because recently this...... weed slime, slime that seems to have evolved from eating weed, some of this started eating poison grass and medicinal herbs. The expected evolutionary destinations are poison grass slime and drug slime. "

"Is that it? Like poison grass was the bait to evolve into poison slime"

"- Exactly! You're right. Previously evolving in poison grass was poison slime, so to speak," poison slime ”. I'm still waiting for that weed slime to evolve, but if you don't eat poison grass and become poison slime, I think you can assume that there's something“ that separates poison from poison grass.

If that's the kind of thing researchers “can't grasp," it's not weird to be able to subdivide it further, like irons and other things from metal... technically, Acid Slime is also a bone, but it's not a bone slime, is it? I think I've evolved to improve my digestive abilities so I can eat bones. "

"... brother, that sounds like fun. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong."

"No, no, I don't know, so I look for answers, that's what I enjoy. Observe, hypothesize, experiment. So if I find out I was wrong, admit it and think again and repeat. So I'm glad I found the answer."

"Heh."

Oops...... would that have been difficult? I'm going to chew it up and explain, but when the heat comes on, it sticks...

"Hmm... right, it doesn't have to be limited to slime, so you can do something you couldn't do, or when you find out something you didn't know, do you have fun or are you happy?

"Oh, then you might understand. When you can climb a tree, when you have a secret base, and now!

Oh, you still think it's fun? Again, Niki, you have a prospect.

"Well, do you actually want to take care of Slime a little bit too?

"Are you sure?

"Of course. I basically just feed and water, but with more variety, it takes a lot of work just to prepare. I'll have to prepare for that for the slime awaiting evolution, or rather, it'll help.

I'm ready, but I hope I can experiment and get some of this land stuff... "

"Then let's ask the mothers! Because at least there's garbage!

- So Niki and I toured the whole village...

"You've gathered quite well..."

At the corner of the square rented for temporary placement there is a pile of garbage and crap.

Niki, you don't scare me, you basically seem like a nostalgic character, and I've been getting unwanted supplies from the adults who are there to storm all sorts of places. Besides, even from the villagers, it might have been easier to talk to Niki by pinching you between them. At least I was very helpful.

Besides, if you show the slimes that called for what you collected, some slimes will react.

Apparently they prefer, it contains new bait!

"Ugh... awesome number. Brother, you kept it so much. Space magic is awesome."

"I'm surprised. We don't have time for this. Let's start by checking which slime you want out of what you get. If we don't hurry, the sun may go down."

"Whoa!"

We'll work together to separate the items.

Kids who were playing in the square, as well as adults in the village, are watching far-flung, but they don't care.

The whole village already knows what's going on, so you won't even need to explain it.

Concentrate on confirmation work.

"First of all... this is it"

Garbage that came out of the demolition yard.

There is a mixture of inedible areas such as the guts and bones of various types of fish.

One who craved this was Scavenger, Acid, and Bloody.

Scavengers started to hurt guts and shit in the digestive tract. Acid still seems to want to eat bones, so it doesn't seem very different from his usual bait.

Except, Bloody. What I want was my gut, and it was also thought that the blood left inside was the purpose, but the other two currently on hand show no interest. Possible evolution.

Then it's what you're reacting to... but if you collect the areas of the garbage that are reacting, a small part of the whole thing. There doesn't seem to be any further focus on fish types or areas. It is frequently not responsive to remove the same type of same area as the gut of the reacted fish.

In that case,

"Brother, I may have figured it out."

"Whoa! What?

"Probably a parasite...... I need to be careful this time of year, because my mom and dad said there are several species of fish that I need to be particularly careful with. Your brother's splitting it up. That's pretty much it."

"I see, a parasite... 'appraisal'"

♪ A pile of fish guts ♪

Mountains that collect the guts of multiple species of fish. Each of the guts is home to a parasite egg that lives in Lake Latoin, or an early hatched parasite.

"Bingo! Niki, you must be right! If I do appraisal magic, he says there's a parasite in all of this!

"Like what? Hehe. But it's a parasite..."

"Is there a problem?

"Because parasites are just annoying."

Sure. I'm usually a troublemaker, and this may be especially true in this village where I make a living from fishing.

"But I saw this Bloody Slime reaction, and I gathered this pile of guts. I didn't know there was a parasite there until I did some appraisal magic.

To put it differently… "By using the parasite-eating slime, we can determine if a fish has a parasite". Is that even possible?

When I say that, Niki, you round your eyes and your voice leaks from the adults you've been watching around.

"Oh my God! You'd be safer if you knew a fish without a parasite!

"A fish without bugs... if you know what I mean, you can eat it raw..."

"Hey, you, stop it, will you? Because I'm the one who takes care of her belly down."

"That doesn't do fools eating raw at this time of year. But in the summer..."

Looks like I heard your words, Niki, and even more adult blurring.

"Niki, you. Do you even eat raw around here?

"There's a time when there are fewer bugs, and they're fishermen, which is why they can eat. We like my dad, but that breaks my stomach every year. Less, But Not Absolutely."

"I see."

Do you still feel like eating a river pig (fugu) that was forbidden by law during the Edo period... well this one doesn't seem to hit me until I die, or is it more casual?

As such, what matters is the evolution of Bloody. What happens if you eat parasites and evolve? Parasitic slime? In your body...... hmm? Bloody's body is blood, blood enters the human body... is this a blood transfusion, will it?

... Think about it, when Bloody sucks blood, he enters the body from the wound. But the blood in the prey doesn't solidify, does it? It sucks smoothly and comes out. I've heard that when different types of blood mix, they clot... or Bloody's blood type in the first place...

"- Honey, brother!

"I'm sorry, Niki. I've been thinking."

"If you look at it, you'll see. Now that we know more about the parasite slime, let's go on."

"Right. Let's do it!"

There is still a lot of garbage I received. But I can't help but see it as a pile of treasure.

And it didn't take that long to be sure it wasn't a mistake...
