Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

I've got you!

Returning with Heine and Pilte, Slattan seated them in the chair.

"You're going to tell me about Slime's research, right?"

"That's right! About the beauty of the slime! Discuss it!"

"I'm scared of my eyes..."

Slatter is motivated.

"Well... first of all, before I talk about the powerless slime I was talking about, I'll talk about the ordinary slime."

"Yes, thank you very much..."

"What's up, Sinya? Don't you like it?"

"That's not true..."

"Fufufu."

Heine and the others look strange at my reaction, but Nil laughs small.

"If that's not the case, let's get started!Well... I guess so. First of all, I want to ask you how much you all know about the slime... and how much you all know about the general slime that is ranked D? "

"You mean the light blue slime?"

"Yeah, yeah, that's it."

"Well... the slime basically has a nucleus, and that's what makes it a weakness.Magic is hard to do, but it is a monster that most people can defeat.

Basically, they often live in places like forests and woods, but they live in places that aren't, such as wasteland, rocks, mountains, waterfront... anyway, in many places. "

Pilte talks about the slime within the bounds of common sense.

"... after that, the carcass of the slime can be used as a raw material for ointment.Combining horn rabbit horns with herbal and slime carcasses confirms effective wound medicine. "

I will report to Slatan about the fortified wound medicine I made for the first time in the world.This is out of general common sense.

"Sasuga-sinya! I can feel slime love knowing things I don't normally know!"

"There's no love there."

"Again, no need for modesty!"

"No, no, I'm not being modest!"

"Sinya-kun is humble.And, well, the recognition of slime is about as much knowledge as Pilte explained, right? "

"It's not like I'm being humble... well, yeah.We just stumbled across slime carcasses.Ning, I was more surprised that Slattan knew about it. "

"Neither have I named Date a slime researcher.Slime carcasses are quite special and viscous.I thought it could be used for various things.I mixed it with a lot of stuff to make sure it worked. "

"Horn rabbit horns and herbs?"

"Of course."

Both are easy to get, so it's no wonder you know them.

"The fortified wound medicine wasn't out there?"

"I do research, but I'm not interested in presenting it.My research is not very public. [M]I'm not in trouble with the money, and I'm not going to make any money with the research results. "

Even if not at the top player level, there are many people who have been playing Funderje for a long time who have made quite a lot of money.Some people have more money than the aristocrats around them.As long as former players live normally, they don't have to make new money because they have an unusable amount of money.

"Well, I'm talking about Slime now, not money.

I know a lot about it... I see.First of all, what do you think people are eating and living with slime? "

"The slime is miscellaneous, so are the grass, the animals, the monster carcasses?"

"Yes, that's right. The slime is taken up by plants and animals, dissolved in mucus, and used as a source of nutrition for itself.However, we do not eat soil, rocks, metals, etc. "

"Yes, I've seen them stick together, but I've never heard of them eating them."

"That's why a physical attack, that is, an attack with a slime that doesn't eat or melt, is effective.A sword or a blunt weapon. "

"It's the most effective way to crush ordinary slides."

"Yeah. Okay, one more thing. Why do you think Slime has a weakness, a nucleus?"

"It's said that... because the core is the main body..."

"Well, you don't have to bother creating weaknesses.The nucleus is the body, and the mucus that protects it also serves as the protective material that protects the nucleus.

The nutrient source dissolved in the protective material is absorbed by the nucleus to ensure nutrition.

In other words, in human body, it is wrapped in something like stomach juice. "

"If that's what they say."

"But don't you think that gastric fluids, which melt almost any plant or animal, have incredible power?

Slime, even if it's rotten, whether it's poisonous or not, will feed it irrelevantly?In other words, if it is organic, everything will break down and be absorbed. "

"If you say so, you'll look like some kind of amazing creature..."

"It's actually amazing. There are many strong stomach creatures and monsters, but I think only slime can break down and absorb anything."

Like Slatan said, I can't think of any living thing that breaks down and absorbs any poison.

"Moreover, the slime is an acid-slime that melts and absorbs metals.There are many kinds of large slimes that really melt everything.If you think about it all together, there's nothing in the world that can't be dissolved in a slime. "

The fact that this is not a big deal will be immediately apparent to anyone who has fought such a slime.In fact, there are people who have melted weapons, armor, and even friends.

"But why doesn't the forest destroy or have a hole in the ground where the slime melts, even though it's so slimy mucus?If the mucus melts everything, the ground you're touching will melt, right? "

"That's...."

If you pour a liquid that melts anything onto the ground, it will naturally melt the ground.I don't know why...

"Because you can't melt soil or rocks...?"

"That's incorrect. If you use earth magic on a large slime to put rocks in your body, they will melt in an instant.In other words, we can melt the soil and the rocks. "

Large slimes really melt everything, so they must be attacked with light or dark magic.This is a famous story among adventurers.

"Does the slime's mucus surface have no melting effect...?"

"That's also incorrect. If you actually touch the slime, you'll see that it's not the same because it melts with wrinkles."

"Touching... you really did it?"

I thought it was a joke, but Slattan was real.

"Of course! It's nonsense not to touch the slime!"

"Nonsense is your way of thinking..."

I knew it would melt, and I didn't know anyone would touch it...

"It would surprise me if I could look at that plump body and choose not to touch it."

"Your... master's friend is very different... so unique."

Nil. I told you again, but that's no different than what I already told you.

"This is a hobby.I don't want you to understand, and I don't think you can do it. "

"But I'm sorry..."

"Ah! No! I didn't say that because I hate it!I really think so.If someone asks you if your favorite food feels absolutely delicious, that's not the case, right?I know that's my hobby. "

It's a super hot thing.

"Sinya-kun is as merciless as ever.But no one has the right to complain that I like it. "

"Well, I guess I agree with Slattan."

Everyone has a hobby. Laughing at or demeaning someone else's hobbies is a mistake.

"I'm really impressed that Sinya-kun's core is clear... but let's get back to it now.

Why doesn't the slime melt the ground?I tried a lot, but in conclusion, I thought I could decide not to melt at the will of the slime. "

"Are you willing to slime...?"

I can tell by looking at the slime, but I don't have a brain and I don't think I have the will. It is a monster that is plump and dull.

But Slattan's hypothesis makes sense.

"To be precise, the nucleus is the brain, the mucus is the body...

Does everyone know what happens when the slime dies? "

"The mucus becomes cloudy and nothing dissolves."

"Nil-san is right.But if slime mucus is just a liquid that dissolves things, don't you think it should continue to be the same mucus that dissolves everything after the nucleus dies?

Don't you wonder why they only stay around the nucleus in the first place? "

"I wonder why slime mucus doesn't come out..."

If it's magically shaped... then I can't explain why it becomes cloudy and loses its effect after it dies.

"It's quite strange when I'm told."

"Isn't that right?! It's strange after all!"

Slatter's heating up...

"So I made a hypothesis.

I wonder if the slime core is instructing the surrounding mucus in some way to dissolve, dissolve, or maintain its shape.

If you say so. "

"Isn't that too much to say?"

"Well, that's what Sinya-kun says... to be precise, instinct. I wonder."

As for Slater, he probably used the word "will" because he wanted to communicate with Slime of Remembrance, but instinct was the correct expression.

"I don't care about either of these arguments, so first of all, as an instinct... either way, I assumed that the nucleus was giving instructions and the mucus was deciding whether or not to dissolve things.

But when you think about this hypothesis, don't you think it doesn't work with liquids like simple acids and bases? "

"Acid... is it a base?"

Pilte does not know what she is saying and leans her neck.Nil teaches a lot, so he seems to understand a little bit.

"That said, there was no such concept.

Don't melt the metal in the liquid!You don't think you're gonna listen to me when I tell you to melt!That's what I mean. "

"The other person is a liquid… I don't think I have anything to say."

"Yeah, I think it's hard, even with magical powers, but I do have an idea of what makes it possible.I found it. That's it. "

That said, it was your handmade microscope that took out the slurry.Compared to what I saw in the world beyond the boulder, it felt terribly primitive, but a microscope is, to put it bluntly, like an enhanced version of a magnifying glass.A lens is enough. And if the lens is magical in this world, it will be easy to make.I wish I knew the principles.

"A microscope, I mean..."

"Yes, microbes."

"Bissey... bumps?"

"If you put it very simply, it's an invisible little creature."

"It's so invisible..."

"I think it would be quicker to actually show it.Here is a set of water from the abundant forest water field, but take a peek. "

Put the microscope on the table and Pilte peeks.

"Wow?! What is this?! Uh-oh!"

Well... that's a lovely reaction.

"Wow... really..."

"This is a micro-organism, a small creature lurking in the water."

"The forest of abundance... I'm scared..."

"We live in a variety of water fields, not just rich forests.Even if it looks like clean water, microbes are surprising. "

"Eh?! Well, we... several times..."

If you are traveling, you may drink water in a beautiful water field or wash your body.

Micro-organisms are invisible, so I don't usually care, but I feel terrible when I see them this way.I remember the first time I saw a microorganism in a microscope, I had the same feelings.

Nil was showing it to me, but when I looked at the place where I sat without saying anything after I had a blue face, I thought I felt uncomfortable.

"Basically, people die when they get inside, so I don't care, but drinking dirty water and breaking their bellies can be caused by these microbes.That's why you have to boil the water once.To kill these microbes. "

"I... decided not to drink it raw again..."

"Me too..."

"This is what Master told me to drink after boiling water as much as possible..."

In the original world, it's like everyone learns, and it's a natural feeling, but it's not natural here.Even if I explained it, I didn't explain it because I hardly know it, but I can understand it well when I see it this way.

"Now you know that there are creatures like this in this world, but something like this is also in the slime's mucus.

This is the mucus from the carcass of the slime... "

Heine, Pilte, and Nil peek into the fearful microscope.

When I peek, I see a clear creature like an amoeba.

Is this a microbe too?

"Well, I don't know because I'm not familiar with microbes either, but at least I can't see anything but slime mucus."

"Is this what melts everything?"

"Because it's a normal slime of mucus, it's a micro-organism that dissolves only organic matter.I checked other slimes, but I was able to confirm that there are microorganisms with slightly different shapes depending on the type.

I mean, I think the slime is giving instructions to this microorganism in an electrical… or magical way.

It's difficult to see a living slime in the microscope, so I can't say anything... but I think this microorganism has decided the color of each slime, and when it dies, the pigment falls off and becomes white and cloudy. "

"Looks like a squid."

Squid turns white when tightened.I think it resembles that.

"I think it's the same principle.

In the case of squid, the pigment cells are stretched or loosened by muscle fibers to change color, which is different from microbes.Perhaps in the case of a slime, when the nucleus is alive, this amoebic microorganism also takes on a different form, and when it dies, it collapses and becomes white. "

When the slime dies and the microorganism dies, the carcass loses its ability to melt.Depending on the type of slime, acids may remain, but only the properties as acids remain, so the microorganism is probably irrelevant.

"... isn't this an incredible discovery...?"

Heine looks at Slattan's face and says after a little thought.

Because there is no concept of micro-organisms in this world, I think that seeing micro-organisms in the first place with a microscope is an incredible discovery in itself.

Even in the original world, the name of the microbial discoverer is passed down to future generations.The discovery of microbes should have had a huge impact on medicine, chemistry, and many other fields.I did the same thing, so it's a terrible thing.The remaining name "Slattan" sounds a bit distracting...

"I see... but I didn't discover the microbes, so I'm not going to announce them.Of course, slime's mucus contains microbes. "

"... then we should just talk about it here.If I hadn't listened here, I would never have discovered it myself. "

"That's right, let's just talk about it here, as your mother said."

"I'm sorry I let you keep a secret."

"You don't have to worry about that because you're used to it in Sinya."

"Is it my fault...?"

"Fufufu."

I've told you a lot of secrets... no, it's my fault.

"So we know that the slime contains microbes... that's not the end of it, is it?"

"Of course. Now that we know that the ability to decompose a slime is due to a microorganism, we thought that if we could take that microorganism out separately, we could use it for a lot of things.

I can melt all the rubbish that I have to bury... and I'm sad, but I think I can use it as a weapon. "

"The mucus that melts everything... it's a pretty good weapon. But..."

"After all, it's no different from a bacteriological weapon.A good weapon can be such a dangerous thing.Whatever the consequences, there's nothing dangerous about it.Do you think I can make something like that? "

"Well... that's impossible."

Slatter basically doesn't like to fight.In the original world, researchers, researchers.No matter how long it takes, you will not become a beloved fighter.

I know that the technology I've created will certainly take a lot of lives in this world, and I don't think I'm going to make it.

Are you laughing with the cautious?

"No, I call it the wise man."

"It's dangerous to have too much power... even though we might be able to make a really good weapon."
