Chapter 62: Slime incident and new magic

Chapter 62: Slime incident and new magic

After parting ways with Tristan-san, we headed for the lake in the Young Tree Forest to finish what we had left to do. On the way, we were ambushed by an unknown entity.

"Kya!? Wh, What!? This!?"

The one that attacked us was Ion. And there was a liquid-like being attached to Ion. Yes, a slime. I've seen it among Rook's summoned beasts, but never as an enemy.

"Ah!? Wa...it. Where do you touch..."

The slime crawls around Ion...gulp, it's an ungodly sight.

"That's enough!"

Ion attacks the slime with her dagger, but it doesn't do any damage. Eh? Doesn't physical attack work? This thing? Isn't he strong?

While I was analyzing, Ion, who had nothing to do, shouted.

"Don't just look at me, please help me! Lily! Setia!"

"I can't help it at all~Ion-chan"

Lily heads over to help with a smug look on her face. Oh, what a dj vu. I can predict the scene after this. Setia evacuates as well, if that's the case.

And Lily who approaches Ion is captured by slime, but Lily also shows her own power.

"It's sweet! Deya!"

She tore the slime apart and threw it. The slime then hit Setia. There was a moment of silence.

"Ah..."

"...Is there anything you want to say? Lily-oneesama?"

"Wa, Wait, wait! That was an accident! Kya!?"

Lily makes an excuse in a hurry, but she doesn't realize that slime is still on Ion. Apparently, even if this slime is torn, it just splits.

Lily, who was full of gaps, was caught by her feet and rolled away in dismay. And then a lump of slime attacked Lily from above.

"Kyaa!?"

In the blink of an eye, her body is covered in slime...it's a feast for the eyes.

"Uu...it's so sticky...ahaha! It tickles...ahahaha!! Stop~"

Is she being tickled? Lily is rolling around. I can totally see inside her skirt, but security is still intact. Slime, can't you do something about security?

And Setia, who was thrown a slime, is desperately trying to use magic, but the slime clinging to her body is blocking the magic chanting with some skill or an attack with an attack judgment.

"A!? Wh, What are you doing in my clothes...kya!? You can't go in there"

Where the hell did you get into Setia's clothes? Slime-san! Please tell me. I'm begging you!

However, will our three strengths be driven into incompetence so easily? Slime is scary.

"""Don't look, help me (Pl, Please)! Takuto (san, sama)!"""

I was furious. I had forgotten myself in front of such a wonderful sight. So I had to identify it before I could help...then I attacked it with magic and was able to defeat it without any dismay. Needless to say, the three of them became slime haters. I'd like to summon it, but I'm afraid it would be a big no-no.

The tamers who targeted us were also involved, weren't they?

I see. He has a surprising sense of responsibility.

"Yes. Is that why you went to the trouble of apologizing?"

Yes. And...I saw the video

"Hmm? Video? What kind of video?"

It's a video of the whole thing from yesterday. This is a video of Lilys duel and Takuto-sans battle

Ah...that's what Kaito was talking about.

"I saw that kind of thing. It doesn't feel good"

I'm sorry. I was curious. And this video has already been deleted

Yup. Kaito said that it's been seen quite a bit.

I'm not sure if I should be asking this today or yesterday, but can I ask you a question?

"Hmm? Please?"

Yes...actually, there was talk on the internet that summoners would gather and set up a place to exchange information and when I saw Lily and Ion crying, I was told to gather in a hurry

It's great that you're concerned about Lily and others, but there are a lot of hidden agendas at play here.

"Is that the way it is today?"

...Yes. However, because of the circumstances, I decided to suit Takuto's convenience

Well, what to do...I'm not particular about hunting, but I want to hunt when I come to the forest. However, considering Lily and others, I think it is better to have interaction with the players. I think so more by interacting with Tristan-san.

"I'm sorry, but I'm hunting today. I can participate tomorrow"

Eh!? You're going to participate!?

"Yes. Lily and others saw the malice of the players for the first time yesterday. I want them to know that there are some good people among us"

That's certainly true. I understand. I'll talk about the situation. What time would you like to start?

"Well...considering dinner, how about 8:00 p.m.?"

I think that's fine. I'll send you an email if there are any changes

"Okay. Then. See you tomorrow"

Yes

Cut off communication. Now, let's continue the night hunt.

Author note:

Slime is too strong. I didn't do much damage to it, though. I think slimes are one of the strongest monsters in the world. At the same time, I don't want to miss out on something like this.

Next time, there will be an emergency quest. I hope you enjoy it.
