"Eh, where...? Lycra has good eyes....."

Lycra headed towards the tent. There was a distance to make a mistake. If you're right, you really have good vision. I wonder if dragons are better at seeing things from afar.

We're going after Leica, too.

There was indeed a slime in the shadow of the tent.

"Wow, Leica! Oh, my God, there's a slime."

I stopped by the slime.

However, I felt a little uncomfortable at that time.

I think the normal slime is more rounded, but the slime is sticky.

Surprised by my approach, the slime jumped sideways.

For the sun to shine from the shade. The sand is also heating up and it seems pretty hot.

And the next moment, it happened.

It sounds like...

The slime melted!

"Evaporated!? Evaporated!?

Behind the melted slime are the slime and a small magic stone.

However, it is considerably smaller than the original magic stone of the slime. From the beginning, it collapsed and became worn out.

Sirona wrote something like a note for the investigation report.

"Looks like you've been hit by a fever. Namhad is said to be the hottest city in the world, so it's too hot for the slime to survive. The magic stone is much smaller than what was done when it was solid, so it looks like it's falling into the sand and you won't know."

"Is it true that there aren't many slimes in Namhad..."

"I see... The desert we set out in was still cooler than Namhad. Between there and arriving in Namhad, there must have been a wall of limiting temperature within which the slime could operate. Then there is an explanation that there is no slime only around Namhad. They've melted it."

Clever Lycra quickly supplemented the situation. I think that's right, so I had nothing more to say - I was going to say.

The sight of yesterday's inn struck my mind.

"Um, Lycra... maybe it's just one thing strictly different... I might be worried."

"Azsa, what do you mean?

"As long as the slime evaporates with heat, I'm sure it was done. But... I wonder if the liquid is still alive...? It's still alive when it's liquid, and when it gets even hotter, it evaporates and dies."

"That's right. If it's solid, it turns into liquid before it becomes gaseous."

"So, when it gets cooler in the liquid, it returns to the solid and resurrects. Look, the slime is originally a monster with plenty of moisture. When it's a complete liquid, it's a kind of moribund condition."

"My stepmother, you're making a strange hypothesis. Is that why you thought that?

Silona asked me a little.

"For example... when it gets hot, it's cooler than the lit ground... and there's no slime waiting for it to cool down at night..."

Yeah, like yesterday's inn, "Someday it's in a bucket of water."

I saw Halkara.

At about the same time, Sirona and Lycra looked at Hulkara with a soft face.

"Well, please wait... Are you telling me that the water I drank yesterday was a slime in liquid form...? I don't know... it's too hard to imagine..."

At that time, an unusual sound rang from Hulkara's stomach.

Cucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucucum ~.

"Wow! What is this noise?!

"I knew something was wrong! You'd better take some poison!

We'd better find a pharmacy in Namhad. There will be some detergent.

I reach out to Halkara's arm.

However, the hand was finished with a scratch.

"Pyum!

Hulkara jumped about three meters with her feet together.

Like a slime.

"Mr. Halkara, was there so much spring on your body? It's a good jump."

Lycra is impressed in strange places, but I don't think she can do it normally.

"Hey, Leica... take a good look at Harukara's eyes..."

Leica said, "Ah!" and pressed his mouth.

Halkara's eyes are slimy!

"Pyum!

Once again Hulkara jumped far away. Farther than before.

If we stay like this, we can escape!

We'll catch up too! Wait, wait, wait!

"I'm not convinced yet, stepmother! If the water in the barrel turned into a liquid slime, the side effects should be stomach pain or diarrhea at most! If you develop symptoms like Harukara, you'll be more famous!

Silona said as she ran.

"Yeah, that's a good idea. But... there was something special going on with Halcara back then."

Perhaps, in a typical case, it was what Sirona said.

But that was different.

"What is that...?

"Harukara's stomach and intestines were pleasant with a needle sticking around! So I went down, and the slime of liquid didn't come out of my body, and the next effect came!

"No way... No... because my body is sturdy and I didn't vomit right away, my symptoms may be prolonged instead..."

Afterwards, Hulkara was protected by us as we fled to the desert with great jump power.

He drank a lot of liquid with his underwear.

I managed to get it back.

First of all, my eyes are back.

"I feel like I had a really, really weird dream... It was a dream that I was a slime....."

"I guess so. We believe you."

Hulkara's accidental experiments with her body have increased the number of medical cases of what happens when a human takes a slime.

Later on, with regard to the temperature at which the slime can live, Sirona produced a full-fledged investigation report that helped advance the slime study.
