Episode 386 Inner layer search (3)

"Well... if Cynya and I can move, I can concentrate on my research, and it might be faster..."

"Once you've collected a few herbs, you won't need them right away."

The deadline presented by Slattan is one week.

In the meantime, we need to harvest herbs and poison.Set the goal of Slatan's research and gather what you need for it.The most important thing is to collect as much suppressive grass as possible.

Slattan decided to get to us, so we didn't have to finish the research here anymore, so we could cut the time.

But on the way, we ran out of medicinal herbs!In order to prevent this from happening, we must, to a certain extent, set an eye for research.It is no exaggeration to say a week for that.

Even herbs and poisonous herbs can be harvested without a vision, so we don't know the number of herbs we need, and the progress of slaughter research is key.

In other words, the top priority now is Slattan's research.

If we add the task of recording the frequency of the slime here, it will not fit in a week.The idea is that if I could take over...

"... I see... there should be a slime that has changed from Rock Slime in the future, so let's give it a try."If it's possible without me, I'll leave you to Shinya-kun, and I'll be immersed in research. "

“Good. If so, I'll try it quickly.”

Guided by Slattan, we'll take the rock a little further.

"Where that big, pointy rock is.There are often quartz slimes and rare slimes around here. "

A pointy rock, like the tip of a spear, can be seen a little further, as anyone can see.

"There's a big crack at the foot of that sharp rock, and it's going to get inside."

"Is there any slime in it?"

"Yeah, that's what it is."

"All right. Quartz slime?"

"Perhaps the easiest thing to find is the quartz slime, and I think that's good."

"Okay, then..."

I reach out to the fearful Pure Slime.I was worried about suddenly disassembling my hands, but the Pure Slime moved slowly from above my head to above my hands.

"Ooh... ooh..."

Pure slime is slightly refreshing and feels as plump as it looks.It feels like a bouncy jelly, and it's puffy.

I wasn't expecting the opportunity to touch the live slime with my bare hands, so I was a little touched.

What's up?! You're impressed, aren't you?!

"Well... a little."

I see!

Slatter looks me in the eye with her face.I get a little angry with that face, but I dare to fulfill my purpose.

After holding the pure slime and heading towards the pointed rock, you can see cracks like sludge at the bottom of the concave terrain.

A crack that two adults can pass side-by-side, and it doesn't look like the rock you see is crumbling, and it seems to be quite stable.

"Are you okay to come in?"

The crack is naturally in the dark, and nothing can be seen without the light.I can feel something inside, but it takes courage to step in suddenly.

"If the pure slime can't match the frequency, you can't leave the slime, can you?"

I confirmed the ominous prediction with Surakitan.

"That's okay." Slime microorganisms change their shape slightly, but not their basic shape.That's why rough instructions apply to any slime. "

"Do that, I can't give you detailed instructions to do this, but can I give you rough instructions such as not to stop or stop?It's unbelievable...

In fact, slimes other than ordinary slimes didn't come to collect in the meadow, did they?

"Was there any other kind of slime?"

"Of course I was. This is slime heaven."

"... then why don't you trust me..."

"Sinya, I trust only the facts, not my words… I miss you, don't I?"

"This is my first time, and I have no connection to Pure Slime."

"Speaking of which, am I the only one who understands Pure Tartan... it's a feeling I'm not used to.Well, it's almost definite in me, so you can trust me. ”

"... I see. I see."

"I've been worried for a while, but believe me, let's go inside."

While impressed by the sludge that returns to a slight bokeh, it lights the lantern and enters the crack.

Piss off!

Is there rain water in the crack? Some of the water is accumulating at the feet. The sound of water echoes when stepping into the crack.

"It's bigger than I thought."

Turning to the back of the lantern light, the entrance is narrow, but the space inside is like a hall, which is wider than expected and does not feel breathless.

The walls are heavily uneven, and whenever the light fluctuates, some minerals are enclosed to see some of the walls glitter.

"I see why Slattan said it was easiest to find a quartz slime."

At the corner where the ground meets the wall, you can see a large quartz crystal.If you look closely, there are other small crystals growing everywhere, but there is only one large crystal.

"That big one is Quartz Slime, isn't it?"

"Yeah, we don't grow that much crystal here, so you can see at a glance.But that's where the problem starts. "

"That's right...."

I can't communicate, but I somehow feel that Pure Slime doesn't intend to harm me and understands what we're trying to do.

I slowly approached the quartz slime and approached the pure slime I had.

After the pure slime moves the nucleus over, it approaches the pseudo-slime in the quartz crystal, and the emblem of the slatter glows behind it.

"... looks like you've succeeded."

The slime that was transformed into quartz changes its shape into a normal slime shape.

The surface is shiny and the slime is a smooth surface.It would be easier to imagine if it were a crystal cut into the shape of a slime.

"Is Quartz Slime under your command now?"

"Yeah, it's okay."

At his feet, Quartz Slime and Pure Slime plumply move to confirm each other's will.

"So I guess I can find it alone."

"Yeah. Pure, I really miss leaving, but... you have to bear with me!"

"... he said there were other special slimes, but where are they?"

Spend a splendid sludge of determination searching for another slime.

Don't you see?

Slatter laughs and provokes.

Don't you see? That's right... hihi.

But I get angry with the face that seems to say so.

"I'll definitely find you..."

I look around with my eyes closed.

Quartz slimes, if they are lined up with crystals of similar size, do not know which one is the slime at all.Because it is a transparent body, if you look closely, you can see a cleverly hidden nucleus, but few people will notice it from a distance.

It is difficult to distinguish slimes with such pseudo-powers.

However, it's not good for mental hygiene to see Doya's face twice.So I focused my eyes on finding something.

When I remembered when I found the Rock Slime earlier, I took a good look and saw a thin crack in the wall surface.Unlike the outside, the light is scarce, and the unevenness of the wall surface is severe, so there are many shadows and I feel like I can see them.

"Is that...?"

Shame! There's nothing there!

Don't hit me...

It's a cheap provocation, but when Kuruperma's round glasses tell me with his face, he wants to break his glasses with his fist.

Driven by the urge to assign glasses several times from there, I was able to easily distinguish myself when I was playing a slime casting game.

"There were more of them than I thought..."

Even though it's large, the space we're in is just a crack in the rock.It was about five meters wide, but there were five rock slimes hidden in it.

In addition, a subspecies called Menowslime were also found.

Menou is...

[Agate... a mineral also known as Agate.General minerals in which components such as quartz are deposited in layers.]

So, in short, it's like a quartz buddy.The pseudo-slime is called Menowslime, and the difference from the quartz slime is in a wide variety of colors.Red, green, white, and the whole body is made up of a lot of colors, and it is very difficult to find if it is in the gap.

According to Suratan, there are several kinds of colored slimes in quartz slime, but they all seem to be solid colors.For example, it seems that there are slimes that mimic pink crystals called rose quartz, and slimes that mimic purple crystals called amethysts.

Is that all the subspecies?

"Yeah, they're still here. I just haven't found it."

…………

What Slattan says confidently means is that he is definitely here.But I searched the walls and the ceilings carefully, and they shouldn't be hiding anymore.Are you missing something...?

"This type of slime is hard to find, especially because it's a good pseudo-type.The hint is that it's not walls or ceilings, it's lurking on the floor. "

"On the floor?"

I was moving around looking for the slime, so I stepped on the floor quite a bit.There's a slime, and if you move, you'll see...

"... maybe..."

"Ah, did you notice the boulder?"

I see it in the rain near the entrance.

"Oh?! Here!"

When you shine a lantern, you see a nucleus in the water.

"Exactly! The kid is a water slime. It's a pretty special slime."

“I've never heard of it.”

I can see the nucleus moving in the water, but I can barely see the boundary with the water.

"Because the water slime has a slightly blue color, I know it's a bright spot, but do you understand the water slime itself or prefer to live in a shadowy place in the water?

It's a pretty rare species of slime, and it's a very good pseudo-form, so few of you know it. "

"Rockslime and Quartzslime, too, but what are they capable of?"

"Rockslime and quartz slime, I explained a little, but I can change my body like a rock or quartz.In itself, it was an ability for mimicry.The key is that after you decompose the soil and rock, you can drain the same melt in pure form. "

"In other words, in the case of a quartz slime, after the soil is taken up and melted, only the ingredients of the quartz can be solidified and discharged..."

"Correct!"

"Amazing... if there's a slime that can decompose unusual minerals, can we make a fortune?"

"You're right, but you can't easily find a place with rare minerals, can you?"

"Well... it's rare because it can't be easily found..."

"The probability of a rare slime appearing in Roxslime that can decompose that rare mineral...."

"It must be very low."

"Well, there's a rare slime hidden in this slime heaven, but I've never seen such a rare slime in my life.It could be anywhere in the world. ”

I'm sorry to hear that.

"Things aren't going so well in the world."

"You're right... so what's the power of this waterslime?"

"As the name suggests, with the slime lurking in the water, the monster rank is rank B...

They lurk in the water, get entangled in the incoming prey, pull it in, and break it down. "

I'm scared!

I stepped into the water once.

"Didn't you tell me you noticed?!"

"It's okay because I won't be drawn into a puddle like this."Without a lot of water, it wouldn't be much different than a regular slime.

Besides, I told you it would be okay because I have a pure tongue, right? "

He smiles happily... one day I'll break your glasses. With my fist.

"After that... the water slime breaks down with the microorganisms lurking in the water, so I wonder if I can make a very clean water."

"... let me tell you, the water that stands in this place is so beautiful."

"It's not as good as distilled water, but it'll be beautiful enough to drink normally."

"Oh, it might be of surprising use."

"Don't tell me how to use it?! Slime is not a thing!!"

"Oh, yes, yes, I understand."

"Miscellaneous?! Everything is miscellaneous?!"

Ignore what Suratan is saying and bring the Pure Slime closer to the Water Slime.

As in the case of quartz slimes, the water slime also comes under the command of the slatan sigil when it glows.

"That's the last slime here."What do you think? I wonder if I can find one? "

"It's more likely to be found than when you don't know anything... well, I'll keep my eyes peeled as much as I can."

"I'm with you today, so I'll let you know as much as I can.If something comes up that you don't know or you want to know, just ask me every time and I'll answer. "

"Roger that. Shall we go back?"

Nil and the others also came close when the crack appeared, probably by the time the sampling was finished.

How did it go?

"For a moment, things seem to go according to expectations."

"That's good. I was able to pick most of the herbs that grow around here."

Give me the herbs that Nil and the others picked up.

I wonder if you worked very hard, because your hands are full of medicinal herbs.

"Thank you very much. Now, let's move on."

Yeah.

I then headed to the inner layers, collecting herbs and poisonous weeds under the direction of Surakutan, and repeatedly handing out unusual slimes as I found them.

I sandwiched lunch on the way, and I repeated the same thing for about three hours, and when the first sampling was over...

"I wonder if I've been able to collect all the things I need."As we study it, I think there will be things that will be needed and things that will be missing, so this is not all of it... "

"If you need it, you can take it then.

Then why don't we start exploring the slime of species we haven't found yet? "

"That's right. That would help."

"Something might come up that needs to be done, and Nil and I will do the exploration..."

"I wonder if Piltee and I can do herbal sampling."

"I heard you often use medicinal herbs that you get in the prairie, and you'll definitely run out, so I'll pick them up in the prairie."

Common medicinal herbs are harvested in the grasslands.Generally... means that the effect is guaranteed.

There is no special effect, it is a basic effect, and it seems that it will be used in more research.Fortunately, this inner layer has a large amount of these herbs native to it, so you can collect a large amount if you only need time.

Even if it is not used for research, it can be used as a simple medicinal herb and it will not be wasted, so I would like to collect it if possible.

"If Slatan is going to focus on research... the problem is the grass."

"It's just my speculation... but I wonder if it's okay..."

Evitree is afraid of slimes... so far, only speculation, but Suratan's speculation is almost certain.

Slatter's worried we might get hurt by his speculation.

"I was able to destroy it once, so I'm not that nervous.If you have a lot of opponents and you're not afraid of the slime, you can turn back at that point.First of all, we have all the numbers, and if we can't, we'll just have to think of other safe hands. ”

"... yeah! That's right! You don't have to do everything this time!"

If it's good, I'll take a big breath.

Refresh the mood and head to the outer layer to harvest the suppressive grass, starting with the slaughter.

"Master."

What's wrong?

Nil sees such a sludge and calls out to me.

"... well... I think I told your master's friend that there was a Wu 28408;..."

"I don't care about you or me, so let me know."

"Yes... since you decided to accompany me, Mr. Slantan seems to be working very hard.You can say you're too strong.... "

Even if it's to protect somebody, if we stick to what we're going to do... it's murder.

Slatan grew up as a modern Japanese.Moreover, you can study pharmacy and work as a researcher.I shouldn't have lived like someone else.It's coming here and trying to jump into the slaughtered world on its own.Of course, your mind and body will be strong.

As I've felt so far, this world is too vivid to recognize as a game.

In Slattan's story, it's not the first time I've had someone in a fight when I ran away from Strobe, and I don't think it's going to be too much trouble.However, unlike when you did the murder in a countermeasure, you will now actively commit the murder.There must be a big difference in feelings.

"Well... I was, too, but I think it's very dangerous to feel like my hands and feet aren't mine if you're too strong.That said... I don't even know what to do... "

He's worried about Slattan, but he doesn't know what to do, so he talked to me...
