Episode 384 Inner Exploration

Slatter that touches Nil's tenderness breathes deeply once, then draws the magic of the inventory and removes the item from it.

Katcha...

The bottle that Slattan took out and put on the table was the one that Slattan used during the battle.

"Sinya."

"... what's wrong?"

"I'll give this to Sinya-kun too."

That said, Slattan handed over the items made from the slime.

Are you sure?

"I don't want you to use it against people as much as possible... but I think it's worth bending my beliefs if Sinya and I are to be saved.

From now on, I'm going to give you what I made.I want you to stop publishing your technology and giving it to others in the dark... but I'll leave what you give to Sinya-kun. "

"No, I won't publish it or give it to someone I can't trust, even though Slatan won't.

But maybe I'll use it. "

"... yeah. You can think of that as my preparedness to decide again."

"... okay."

I will take it honestly and without refusing.

I intend to draw as much as I can from Slattan's intentions.I think Slatan gave it to me because I have the same thoughts as myself, and I'm not going to betray that trust.

However, if I, Nil and Heine are in danger, they will not hesitate to use it.Slattan found out and handed it to me.In other words, Slattan was ready to fight.That's what you're trying to say.

"Just lysate and antidote.I don't use it to hurt people when it comes to the two things I promised you.That's what I promised you as a technician. "

"Hahaha... so sweet that you can't even talk about other people, right?"

"Your husband is not sweet, he is kind."

Before I deny it, Nil says it's crispy.

Slatan chose his path as a fighter.But the road as a technician is not closed.If one day, at the end of everything, something created as an engineer and an expert was used in accordance with that belief, it would surely support Slatter's mind.And I can't break that promise if I think about it again... as a slime researcher.

"Ha-ha. Right.Nil is right. Thank you very much. "

Slatter also understands it, and he bows his head honestly and says thank you.

……………

Am I the only one who gets really embarrassed at these times...?

"... me too..."



Slatter's serious voice resounds.

"I'm going to use my powers to protect someone.

It doesn't matter if the swordsmanship is the same as that of Shinya-kun, right? "

"... haha. That's right. I don't mind.If that's Slatan's sword. "

"That's right! Lord Slatan is a kind man!Grandpa and grandmother will be proud to stand up for someone! "

"Yes! If anyone complains, I'll shut them up!"

"Haha. Thank you, Mr. Heinet and Mr. Pilte.

Well, not as a man who killed a lot of people, but as a man who saved a lot of people, I'd like to remember. "

"That's right..."

I've already slaughtered a lot of people.I don't know which impression people have...However, even though I replied, I don't think Slug has much to do with either.Whatever you think, I'm going to keep waving my sword for Nil and the people around me.

"Well... let's get this over with."

Slattan divides the story.

Looking out the window, it's still raining and it's darker than before.It seems the night is about to come.

"I'll explain a few things about tomorrow first."

"Oh, please."

"Tomorrow, we'll focus on exploring the inner layer, but the inner layer is as big as we can see.Rocks, caves, swamps, streams.

I'm going around collecting a lot... but if you have pure eggs, there are no monsters to watch out for when you move the inner layer, and you can think of no battles. "

"I appreciate that."

"However, I think it will take a bit of time as I plan to bring in a variety of slimes as well as herbal sampling."

"For research?"

"Yes, I want to try it on a variety of slimes, as just having the suppressive grass makes it a completely different study."

"When that happens, you'll need to harvest more suppressive grass, right?"

"That's right... I think the grass I picked today will be fine for a while, but I think we'll need more if we leave here.I wish I could grow it.... "

"From here on out, you won't be staying anywhere long, and I don't think you have time to grow it.If I could grow it, I'd be able to get everything done with Zaraine. "

"Well... I've thought about it, and I've got some seeds, but I think I'll be able to use them later."

"How long will it take to harvest the necessary herbs and study the slime?"

"Well... a week... I guess.

I can't walk with too big an individual... "

"Nh...? Wait, wait. Are you going to walk with the slime?"

"Of course! It's hard to meet unusual slimes with small objects!You're supposed to take him! "

"Are you sure...?"

I think it is desirable to have another slime nearby at all times due to the pure slime's ability, but when I bring it around, I feel that various problems are likely to occur.

"It's okay, I don't want to take you so far, and the slime is free to change the shape of my body.I'll do better than that to keep you out of my way. "

Rather than taking him or not, Slattan is thinking about how to take him.It seems that it has been decided to take him inside.

"Well... I don't mind if I don't disturb you, but I need you to keep it under control."

"Of course, I'll take care of it!"

Don and a slap in the chest.It is really doubtful whether it is really okay to leave it to me, but with the power of pure slime, there is no worry that the slime will do anything, and it is not a bad thing.

Because when there are many monsters on the move, camping, and fighting, the most common encounter is the overwhelmingly large number of monsters, such as slime and horn rabbits.There are many situations that cannot be ignored just because they are weak... and they can be a troublesome opponent.

There is no injury to the slime or horn rabbit opponent now, but the inclusion rate is high, and it is quite a hassle to stop the foot each time.

With Pure Slime, at least fighting the Slime will be avoided and time will be shortened.

If you manage it well, the benefits will be considerable.

"I'll take care of the slime.I don't know.

For tomorrow's harvest, we'll have the inner layers guide us through the harvest and the slime search, and then we'll go to harvest the suppressive grass. "

"Yeah, that's it."

At the end of the conversation, it was dark outside the window.

"I'm going to prepare dinner."

"Oh, please."

After the conversation, Nil and Pilte go to prepare dinner.

"Well... apart from what we've been talking about, we have to give Slater the information we know about Zaraine."

"Do you already have something?"

"No, to be clear, it's just superficial information."

"Still, it's better than not knowing."

I told Heine everything I know about Zaraine, Hunters Larrabay, and Fujorde.

"Lord of Janoja, Fujorde... I've heard rumors that you're doing bad things, but you're not even connected to a bandit..."

"Probably the source of funding for Hunters Rabbi."

"You must be making a lot of money connecting behind the back with the bandits.One of them is... Zaraine. "

"It's not just Fujorde who's involved in Zaraine's story, but it's definitely a big one."

"If I were to be lord of such a big city, I'd be a pretty nasty opponent... do you have any idea what you're up against?"

"For a moment, I was wondering if the letter from the big alliance I mentioned earlier would be a trump card..."

"... hmm... I wonder..."

"Is it too weak as a trump card?"

"I see... the largest number of species in this world is the human race.It also has quite a few openings with other species. "

"That's right, it's overwhelming."

"I think there were the most people in Strob with the Knights of the Holy Order.

Even if Jorde ignores the Grand Alliance, the letters may be ineffective if he has a way out. "

"As for Fujorde, whether you put it on the shoulders of the Great Alliance or the Holy Knights, if it's profitable and your life is saved, that's fine..."

"If you're doing a lot of bad things, you might even think the Holy Knights are better than the Grand Alliance."

"... then... should I prepare something else..."

"Besides, I just heard about a bandit called Noble, but the leader was drugged, right?"

Ah.

"Apart from who you think, Fujorde has enough power to send in some of the highest-ranking bandits in Hunters Rabbi, and even his leader in Zaraine."

"It's a big source of funding."

"I think that's not all."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you think it's too powerful within Hunters Rabbi to be just a source of funding?"

"That's right... I don't think any of the bandits that make up Hunters Rabbi will turn out to be such an easy puppet."

"My guess is I'm teaming up with other bandits or someone who's going to lead Hunters Rabbi.

If Noble's base is around here, we can see that other bandits are targeting us. "

"What do you mean?"

"From what I've heard, there are five leading bandits in Hunters Rabai.And I think bandits other than Noble have their own territory north of here. "

"Well... I don't think so."

"So Noble was the southernmost hunter's rabbi."

"I see! That's right! Does that mean we can stretch the territory south?"

"Yeah, I think it's important for the bandits to have a territory where they can do their job.If you get attacked over and over again, people will be alert, and you won't be able to use the same hands in the same place forever, will you?But if you can take a large territory, it would be a good idea to just move a little. "

Four bandits except Noble.Arrangements have been made that they will not interfere with each other.Other bandits won't shut up if they try to interfere poorly in the territory.However, by teaming up with Fujorde and turning Noble into a puppet, it will be possible to expand their territory without being attacked by other bandits.

When I looked at the map in large measure, the territory of Hunters Rabbi could not be extended because there was a magical world in the north and east, and the territory of Hunters Rabbi could not be extended in the west in the same way as in the sea.Bandits will be hard to reach because of the city of the Mermaids in the east and the inland sea.Then, only the south side can extend the territory freely.It would be Noble to have roots in a place with such good conditions.No wonder other bandits want that position.

"And with that wisdom... it's a black dog."

I only told Slatan that the black dog was a demon, and told him that Nil, Heine and Pilte were being targeted separately.

"Black dogs... they must be so confident in their arms as to target these four... do you think they have a connection to the Holy Knights?"

"No, I don't think so.I can't tell you the details, but the black dog must be moving around as a black dog. "

"I see... that's why you tried to get into the bandits.With the Knights of the Holy Order, we have plenty of people, and bandits don't get into tough crowds.

When that happens, we're dealing with the Black Dog, Hunters Larrabay, and Fuyode... these three. "

"That's how it is."

"But... why dare the black dog imitate Noble?

If we could devise a strategy to manipulate other bandits, I would have been able to control them better than drugged and crushed them. "

"I don't know... I thought Noble leader Zana knew too much about the black dog... but when I learned the flow from Slater's story... it seemed familiar, but I didn't think she was in a position to get that much information.It could simply have been used by the black dog to get into the Hunters Rabbi. "

"Does it feel like putting Noble into contact with other bandits...?"

"I don't have enough information to guess.You know exactly how much information we have on the status quo? "

"I understand about that. It would be quite a troublesome situation if it were to distract us from our existence."

"I appreciate your understanding."

"Is there anyone else who might be able to help?"

"It will be difficult to borrow another hand because the Fujorde behind him is a nobleman and a lord."

"Can't you use the help of a big alliance?"

"It's going to be hard. Every city is watching the Holy Knights now.We can't afford to send reinforcements.

You're in the Grand Alliance, and the nearest one is the Fisherman. "

"Can't you participate in the battle on land...?"

"That's what it is."

"We have to do something alone... it's pretty tough."

It's a tough place to be sure, but... every time I fight like that, it's just another... feeling.My senses got bugged.

"From what I've just heard, Hunters Rabbi is a pretty big organization, and even though you destroyed Noble, there are still bandits involved in the fight, right?"

"We only crushed Noble of the Noble Bandits.I've just finished the tutorial. "

"Ha-ha. That's an easy analogy to understand.I haven't heard that tutorial in a long time. "

It's almost forgotten, but it's been ten years since Slatan came here.Because of the large time difference, the conversation is likely to pass away occasionally.

"So? When you're done collecting herbs here, where are you going first?"

"I'm going to Janoya."

"Are you suddenly entering the home of Fujorde?"

"No, no, I wouldn't do such a stupid thing. We just have to get close.

I want to find out what's going on around here, what's going on in Janoja, and then I want to find out about Fujorde, but I need to get close to it. "

"I'm glad... it's a sudden war!I thought I was going to break into it. "

"What kind of existence do I have in a slug...?"

"Hmm... a thousand lonely warriors?"

"Too disgusting!?"

"Ha-ha. I'm kidding.But I'm sure Shinya was the only one who got so strong with Solo.I don't think I'm wrong all the time. "

"Niru-chan told me a lot, but Sinya-san is quite an amazing person.Recently, I heard you crushed a SS-ranked monster. "

SS ranked monster?!

"I didn't do it alone.Nina, I just stabbed you. "

"Still, it's amazing just because you crushed SS ranked monsters?!"

"Ahhh! That's it!"

"Hey! Can you tell me more?!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are ready."

I can get Nil's salvation while the two of you are stranded.No, it was Nil that caused it... hmm?Was it me?

Now put the cause aside, and I'll head to the table to escape, forcing the conversation to an end.Slatan seemed dissatisfied, but one thing on Ouka was done with Rat, Ricca, and Ciscon... with Siden.It's not like I'm proud of myself here, and the damage was too great to be proud.It's not something I can talk about with my chest open.

I managed to relay the conversation and went to sleep the next day.

"Looks like it stopped raining."

After getting up and getting ready, when you go to the living room, a slatter with a pure slime on your head comes out the window and says,

"It's been raining all night, but it's clear.The humidity is terrible thanks to you. "

"That's right, I'll steam it.But in an environment like this, you might be lucky because the slime is actively moving. "

"You're lucky..."

Glittering eyes.When it comes to the slime, it seems that I can't suppress my feelings.

When I think about what I heard yesterday, I can't say it very strongly.

"Well, please don't go too far."

Yeah!

Heine and Pilte also finished their preparations when they heard a tense reply that was likely to make them uneasy in the future.

Well then, let's go.

Slatan said that it would be a day's work, so we decided to eat breakfast while exploring, and we went out in the middle of the night and started exploring the inner layer.
