CH 87

“Chapter 87: The Top of the Gana Vares and the Secret Room”

The slime is talking…

I mean, skeletons can talk, and their vocal cords are supposed to be rotten.

But the surprising part is that this slime is speaking human language.

– Ah, forgive me. It’s been quite some time since I’ve interacted with a human. I just felt like teasing you.

– Who are you?

– Just a passerby. I came to this castle looking for a little something. Trust me buddy, not a very interesting topic. Who might you be?

He’s already talking as if we’re friends.

He formed a lip-like shape around what seemed to be his head in order to talk.

Apart from the nucleus in the middle of his constitution, he looks just like a translucent human.

– My name is Nagami Takaya. I come from the east-

– Oh my! The east? From Shizuma? That’s so far away! But you don’t seem very strong…

– Uhh… Yeah! I was just born weak.

How does he know so much about the human world? Even I don’t know anything about Akane’s hometown. Well, not that I’ve asked her.

– Hmm. Well, that aside. What you here? From your sleeping clothes, I see you not an intruder.

– I’m a guest of Mumuruu-sa…ma.

I’m very wary of this thing.　At the very least I can tell he’s not one of Mumuruu’s servants.

I don’t think I’ll get the full story.

– That impulsive brat? She invited a human?

He doesn’t have eyes, but I can feel him staring at me.

– Huuuh… Hey, Takaya. Do you have a minute?

– Well, I was just wondering around. I got lost after going to the bathroom. I think Mumuruu-sama and Letty will get worried if I’m not back.

– Ah, perfect then! I’ll drop you off while I finish some business.

– Really?

– Sure. This castle is like my playground.

Who is he? How does he know the castle? Why does he refer to Mumuruu as a kid?

Well, I’ll be lost without him, so I might as well follow him.

– Great! Although we’re almost at our destination.

The slime crossed to the other side of the room and ever so slightly opened the right door.

He then slammed it close immediately.

And that moment-

– … That light! (Takaya)

Teleportation magic-

– Don’t worry, Takaya. I can’t leave the castle anyways.

Both of our bodies were engulfed by the light.

Next thing I know, I was greeted with a sight I didn’t expect.

– Is this… A library?

The small room was decorated with a pile of papers on a desk, a rug stained with ink, and shelves in every direction.

– Well, well. It’s the first time I’ve had a guest, instead of an intruder. I felt like asking for your opinion.

The slime grabbed a bunch of papers and handed them to me.

– …What!?

Just by reading the title I was amazed.

This book… It has drawings, speech bubbles, panels…

This is a comic.

Just like the ones I read in my previous world.

– Take a look. You think they’d sell well in the human world?

What in the world is this person?
