Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

First of all, we headed for the grasslands, which are as thick as the knees, and are heavily undulating.

In front of Slatan's house, in the meadow area, it was decided to first harvest medicinal herbs native to the terrain.

"There are quite a lot of medicinal herbs that are native around here, and there are few dangerous poisonous herbs, so I don't think you should be very careful.Just don't get too far away from me because I have the most regular slime. "

"Are you still controlling the movement of the slime?"

"Well, at the time of the harvest, they're instructing us not to approach."

"You mean you don't have time to take samples so leisurely?"

"Most of the normal slime inhabits this area, so I think the runaway individual will run away, but I wonder if the attacker will come.

If you recognize our strength, you won't be able to stop by, but there's a lot of slime here.If you get too angry, you might get a lot of slime on the contrary. "

"Well, I hate that..."

"Just imagine it and it's creepy."

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm so glad I can't hold the slime anymore!"

Even if it is said with sparkling eyes, it is difficult to agree.

"Let's finish collecting here and go to the next destination."

"Eh!? There are a lot of slimes?!You don't touch each other?! "

"I think we're going to have to touch each other."

"It's a chance to get in touch with the corner slime..."

Slatter picks herbs while saying bumps.

The herbal harvest on the grasslands will be cleared immediately, and we will head straight to the rocky area.

"There aren't many slimes around here, so let's have breakfast here, and then go get some herbs that you can pick up in the rocks."

There seems to be no doubt that it is possible to control the slime, but since we do not know the details such as how much range and how many are effective, and whether the slime can be manipulated completely without exception, we will choose a safe place for breakfast.

"Yes! Rice balls!"

Because Slatan was touched by the rice, he got up early in the morning and Nil and Pilte grabbed the rice balls.Freshly made hokahoka thanks to being removed from the inventory.

Please!

Little grass or trees grow in the rock, and if you ride on a slightly larger rock, you can see far away.If there's anything around you, you'll be able to spot it before it gets close.

"Nh?! What is this gear?! New texture!”

"It tastes like the famous Temo plant on Ouka Island.Isn't that funny? "

"Yeah! Besides, soy sauce is good!Seasoning was basically just salt and pepper, so I can't stop salivating! "

"There are a lot of ingredients in there, so please try some."

Awesome!

Slatan raises his hand with a rice ball up and laughs with joy.

After the rice balls made by Nil and Pilte are firmly placed in the stomach, we take a short break before proceeding to collect medicinal herbs from the rock.

Can you pick herbs in a place like this?

"Around here, we can harvest a plant called Dilleria.It's not such an unusual plant, but it's difficult to use, so you might not know if you're an expert. "

"I don't think I've ever heard of it..."

"I've heard of it.Is it a plant that slows down the effects of herbs and poison...? "

Heine-san! Correct!

"Slow down...?"

"Some herbs are as irritating as poison.When you mix it with it, it slows down and lasts a long time. "

"Is there such a plant?I had no idea. "

"I don't know if it can be used for slime microbes, but if it works, there might be more repertoires.

Ah! This is it! This is Direx! "

That said, the flowers in color and shape like white chrysanthemum were pulled out with their hands through the gap in the rock.

It is about the size of a thumb and a fairly small flower.

After all, if I look into it with appraisal magic...

[Direx... a plant that slows down the effects of herbs and poison.]

The text appears as it is in the slate description.

"I use it from the stems down, so I don't need flowers."

"You can't tell by looking at it, can you?"

"There are many things that grow in rock gaps, so if you don't keep an eye on them, you'll miss them a lot."

"Okay. Is that all you got here?"

"Yeah, I don't have any other medicinal herbs I need..."

Suratan is looking deep into the rocks.

"Slime?"

"Yeah, there's a slightly unusual slime here.I want to catch it. "

"What kind of slime?"

"It's a rare slime called Rockslime.I'm sure it was... a C-rank monster.

It's a slime that loves rocks. "

"Rock? Minerals?"

Well, yeah. But instead of... special minerals, they really just melt sand, rocks, and soil.

And you can make your body look like a melted object. "

"Is that even hard?"

"Yeah, that's right. But there's a lot of unmeltable minerals in regular Roxslime.

Most of them are minerals that people think are useful... do you understand? "

Is it a mineral used in weapons, armor, and magic equipment?

"Yeah, yeah, that's it!"

There are a few things that come to mind, such as insulating insulating lights and condylites that are not affected by outside temperatures, but they are probably referring to such things.

"Most minerals that people think are useful have special properties.In order to dissolve these minerals, I think we need a corresponding micro-organism.That's why you can't melt it into a regular Roxslime. "

If it's not normal, you can melt it?

"As you can see, you've heard of different names for different types of minerals that can be dissolved."

"Is Quartz Slime one of them?"

Quartz slime refers to a C-ranked monster whose whole body is made of crystal.It is believed to be a subspecies of Roxslime, a very unusual slime, and carcasses are traded at a fairly high price.

"Sasuga-sinya! Exactly!"

"They think it's a subspecies of Rockslime, but you're right."

"Hmm... considering what kind of concept subspecies are in the first place, it might be a little different..."

"What do you mean?"

"The subspecies are thought to be mutants, right?"

That's right.

In other words, subspecies are born as subspecies, right?

"That's how it is."

"But I think Quartz Slime is the... evolution of Roxslime."

"So it was originally Roxslime, and it changed and became a quartz slime?"

"Yeah, I haven't seen the change in person, so I'm not sure, but from what I've been studying here for 10 years, maybe."

Believe it or not, if you've been here for ten years and studied it.

"That's a new fact, isn't it?"

"Maybe, but I don't know how it's gonna change.Even if they live in the same place, there are individuals who remain Roxslime, and I don't think it will change because they eat only quartz formations.

It's probably the same as any other monster, and I think the microbes that Roxslime possesses are the changes that happen when they mutate.In other words, individual differences. "

"It depends on your luck?"

"If something in the outside world has a big impact, is it strange that most of the slime that lives in the same place hasn't changed?"

I see...

"You two are having a very difficult conversation..."

"I don't think it's the same language."

"Ah... I'm sorry..."

Originally, I liked this kind of story, so I stuck with Slater's story.

I realized Heine and Pilte were looking at each other with emotionless eyes and managed to return to me, but when I silently saw Nil harvesting medicinal herbs, Slatan and I reflected.

"If there aren't many slimes around here, why don't you two go get Roxslime?We'll do the herbal harvest. "

Are you sure?!

"Hey, Slattan. You're eating too much."

That's what Shinya-san looks like, right?

"Ugh..."

I don't love Slime, but honestly, I'm worried about Slater's abilities and Rockslime.It's because I'm going to be involved in future fights... but I think it's curious.

"Me, I don't look good."

"Fufufu, it's fine.

Nevertheless, the slatan at this time has very similar eyes to Arabol-sama.Eyes like a child. You really like the slime. "

"It is my proposition to solve the mystery of the slime."

"Surely Slatan would be a good expert.You should look for it slowly. "

Thank you! I'll go!

After seeing Heine's gentle, slightly lonely smile, he followed the running slatan.

"Do you know where he is?"

"Yeah, by the way, but I don't know the exact location, so I'll have to see for myself eventually."

"If you summon me... if you do that, there 'll be slime all over this area."

"Rockslime's pseudo-powers are terribly high, but I'm not named a researcher on Date, so I'm fine.As long as we know the general position..... "

Slatter looks around.

I looked at it the same way, but just because the rocky rock continues, it doesn't look like there's a slime.

"There it is."

Slattan murmurs with a small voice and gazes at a point in the rock.

"I have no idea which one..."

"I didn't know for the first few years either.If you can suddenly distinguish yourself from Shinya-kun, you'll lose your confidence as an expert. "

"Shit, what a waste of time..."

"Hmm?! I think that reaction is strange?!"

"I'm kidding. Which one is Rockslime?"

"Are you really kidding me...? Kohong... can you see two rocks about 30 centimeters in front of us?"

At the tip of Slatan's finger, there are two rocks rolling along the lines of words.

However, such a rock is rolling around, and there is nothing unusual about it.

"Oh, I see it. Which one of those is Roxslime?"

"No, that's a normal rock.Behind those two rocks, you see a big rock. ”

Ah.

Behind the two rocks lined up, you can see a rock so large that you don't know how many tons there are.

"Look closely at the surface of that big rock."

"Surface...?"

As Slatan told me, I glanced at the surface of the big rock...

"I don't know."

Even if I stared, I didn't know.

"Just above the two little rocks, do you see anything like a thin slice and a crack?"

Surat Than gives me more clues to give up.

"Hmm... maybe it looks thin when I'm told."

"When I follow the crack with my eyes, I think I see it in a distorted circle."

"... oh, it certainly doesn't look that way."

"What that circular crack looks like is a shadow of the slime contour."

"So inside that circular crack is the slime?"

"Correct."

I have no idea. Even after Surakitan told me, I have no idea if there is a slime there.

"Well, that's what it looks like at first.It doesn't make sense to pretend to find out the slime easily.

Unlike other monsters, they have a flesh close to intangibles, so they can take any shape, and it's hard to find them when you think about their original round shape. "

As Slater says, the slime's body is a gel that is more viscous than water.You can change your body into any shape.

In fact, the rock slime that Slattan found should also be sticking to the rock and stretching thinly.

"Let's see if I'm right."

That said, the sludge slowly approaches the big rock.

When the nucleus of the pure slime on the slatan's head moves, the emblem engraved on the back of the slatan's hand lights up slightly white.

Using the power of the Friends Demon to contact Roxslime…?

"It's okay. Come here."

Slattan talks to Rockslime as if he were calling in a puppy.

If a man with a round glasses on Kulkluperma and a dagger on his white coat says with a creepy smile, he can only look like a kidnapper... keep quiet.

When Slattan calls Rockslime several times, the surface of the big rock, the part Slattan said, starts to move.

"That's a good boy. Come on. Come on."

As the slatter slowly approached and reached out, the moving rock slime began to move away from the big rock and towards the slatter.

Someone, it's the kidnapper!

Hold on to what you want to scream about, and I'll keep an eye on things.

Rockslime is a brown slime with the same color as the surface of the rock that was stuck to it.That said, since it is a slime with properties like chameleon that can change to the color of the strata where it lives, the color of it is not known in the first place.

It's about the same size as a regular slime, but I can't wipe it off if I see it moving round and gunning even though it looks like a rock.

Roxslime shows an interest in Slatter's Sigil, and when close to his hand, he rubs against Slatter's Sigil without attacking.

"Ooh......"

After hearing a moving voice resembling Slattan's breath and realizing that Roxslime had entered under Slattan's command, I also came near Slattan.

"Looks like it went well."

"Yeah... I'm touched and I'm crying..."

"I don't like wiping men's tears."

"I don't need it! I ruined the moving scene of the corner!!"

"This is bad. This is bad. Rather... even if I were to summon you, it doesn't feel like you're suddenly under my command?"

"Hmm... the normal slime just called me in and got under my command..."

Really?

Yeah.

"If we don't get under command every time we don't touch each other like this, it's probably a much worse ability than I thought..."

During the battle, after summoning the slime, come here.I don't know how much time I have...

"No, maybe not."

Really?

"Yeah, this is going to be a sensory conversation..."

To summarize what Slattan explained to me.

In the first place, the mechanism by which the slime manipulates microorganisms is probably magical.The fact that the nucleus manipulates magic and gives instructions to the microorganism, so that the microorganism moves according to the slime's mind.

However, depending on the type of slime, the shape of the microorganism is slightly different, and the magic power when issuing instructions is also slightly different.Simply put, the difference in frequency...

Originally, the frequency of the slime is determined by each type, and only that frequency can be emitted, but pure slime seems to be able to adjust it and match all frequencies.

This seems to be how pure slime manipulates other slimes, but the original cowardly pure slime does not seem to be involved with other slimes and does not know the frequency.

The only thing I know about ordinary slime frequencies, manipulated from the beginning, seems to be completely ignorant about the frequencies of other types of slimes.

In other words, knowing and remembering the frequency of the rock slime this time makes it possible to manipulate the rock slime, and in the future, by emitting the frequency of the rock slime remembered by Pure Slime, it has become a state that affects all of the near-field rock slime.

"In short, now you can only manipulate ordinary slime and rock slime?"

“That's what it is.”

"... so if we don't find as many types of slimes as we can and make them remember their frequencies in pure slimes, we can't manipulate all of them..."

"That's going to happen..."

……………

"Ah! I thought you were in trouble!"

I thought so.

"Honesty!"

"... is that a curse?"

Oops... I looked at the pure slime sideways.

I thought it was the ability to manipulate any slime from the beginning, but apparently it's not that simple.

Having to go all the way to see the slime is a lot of trouble, but this is a game of wild animals.I know it's not that easy for me to do TUEEEE.

"Hey, Slattan, can I do that too?"

"Huh? Is that a frequency memory?"

Ah.

"I don't know... Puritan himself is always connected to me, so I can communicate even if he's away, and I don't think he's going to attack me..."

"If you can do that, while Slattan's working on it, I'll go around the inner layer and record the frequencies of the various slimes.Well, I can't find a good pseudo-slime like Roxslime, but if I just meet one that doesn't, I can do it. "
