Chapter 97
After a while, the door opened with a clank and a 『Person』 came out .
A girl about fifteen years of age who has a beautifully braided blond hair .
???: “Ara, with whom am I talking to? It’s very rare for people to come here . ”
I got surprised that the girl said so .
That’s because I thought that a slime would show up instead of a person .
Azusa: “Umm… is this the wizard slime’s workshop…?”
It’s not in a popular place so it’s not strange that other wizards have a workshop like this as well .
???: “Aah, I see, I see . I have made all of you confused, yes?”
The girl laughed merrily .
Slime: “I am a slime . This is the result of using a transformation magic . ”
Azusa: “A slime!?”
I doubted my eyes . That’s obvious as there’s no element of slime from her at all .
It seemed that I was not alone . Both Beelzebub and Leica had a face that look like they were tricked by a fox .
Beelzebub: “You, you’re not trying to deceive us, right…?”
Slime: “There’s no such thing . I have lived as a slime for about three hundred years, but because it is easier to live in human form, I had been using this form since one hundred and fifty years ago . ”
Three hundred years old… . It’s almost the same as me…
Azusa: “Now that you mentioned it, I have never heard about a slime’s life span…”
I have never seen an old slime nor baby slime, so I don’t know about that at all . Farufa and Sharusha are just spirits, so they are an exception .
Slime: “Most slimes don’t have decent intelligence, so there aren’t too many lives and deaths occurred, you see . They split and multiply by themselves which of those, only a few have intelligence just like me . ”
Azusa: “I don’t have any verification about that as this is my first time hearing it, so I have to believe it’s all true for now…”
I don’t think there would be any benefit for lying to us .
Slime: “Well, instead of talking while standing here, please come inside . Though, even if I said that, a slime doesn’t have to eat, so I haven’t prepared any tea yet and I don’t have enough chairs for us to sit down as well . ”
We decided to go inside just like what she offered .
Honestly speaking, It was so cold in the mountains so it’s grateful to be inside a room .
●
There was certainly only one chair, hence we let her sit down and decided to stand while talking . The room itself feels like a wizard’s workshop and things like books and stuffs are lined up on a bookshelf .
The room merely has a simple design with only a bookshelf and a table and no toilet nor dining room as those are all unnecessary for slime .
The person called herself as the 『Wizard Slime』 .
Similar case with Smalime, it seems that there’s no concept of proper nouns for slimes .
Slime: “There’s noone who came to visit me, or rather, almost non-existent . They won’t know that a slime who uses magic exists, so there’s no need for a name, you see . ”
I understand what she’s trying to say, but it’s better to have a name here, right?
Azusa: “Okay then, a short version of wizard slime, wizlime… alright, I will call you Wizlime . ”
It may be not a great sense of naming but it’s probably still in her permissible range .
Wizlime: “I understand . Well then, please call me Wizlime . So, what’s everyone purpose for coming here?”
Wizlime glanced at Farufa .
Wizlime “Though, I know that it’s related to that slime . ”
That’s right . That’s exactly right .
I told her that Farufa, a slime spirit, suddenly became a slime .
Azusa: “ーThat’s why, I’m looking for a solution . Do you have something in mind?”
Wizlime: “Let’s see, can you lend me that miss slime?”
I approached to Wizlime’s side .
As expected, it seems that she can understood what Farufa is trying to say even though her form has changed .
When Wizlime lifted Farufa up, she pressed Farufa’s body thoughtlessly .
Should this be called palpation?
Wizlime: “Hmmm, I see . The elasticity is completely different compared to an ordinary slime, and you can easily understand that she’s a special slime, yes?”
Leica: “You could understand even to that part?!”
Leica was surprised .
Wizlime: “Yes, I know about it as I have been a slime for a long time . To put it bluntly, if you have an ordinary slime at level 1, this miss slime is about level 35 . It might be difficult for ordinary adventurers to defeat her . ”
If you say like that, I could quite understand it .
Certainly I can’t imagine where Farufa and Sharusha could be equal against slimes, and in fact, they can even defeat them with ease .
After that, Wizlime touched Farufa .
Wizlime: “Aah, I see . I see . So that’s it, hmmm, that part, huh? So that’s the problem~”
I can’t retort 『Which part are you talking about!?』 as I think that there are some things that only slime knows… .
Beelzebub said, 『I have been alive for a long time, but the world is still full of unknown things』, so there is no doubt that this is a unique experience for her as well .
In the end, Wizlime had touched Farufa and written some notes on dried large leaves in the past fifteen minutes . It seems to be a substitute for paper .
Wizlime: “I got the answer . ”
Farufa leaped immediately towards here after Wizlime released Farufa,
I caught her with both of my hands .
Azusa: “Please tell me! Please!”
I will respectfully obey .
Wizlime: “Why did this miss slime is in her present formーーーis because she has a sprained neck, you see . ”
Everyone: “”Sprained neck!?””
Our side let out a surprised voice together and asked her again .
