Book 10: Chapter 14: Johann, the B-Rank Adventurer (3/3)
It ended.
This battle was harsh enough to consider the worlds safety at stake, and yet the slimes were all alive and well.
Moreover, all of them were unscathed.
If Halt and the others couldnt win against these slimes, then theres no way I would stand a chance against them.
No, its not just about me.
No one in this entire world could probably beat these guys.
Two of the slimes were restraining Youko and Sitris 8 party members, and the other three were dancing in the middle of the arena.
Were they celebrating their victory?
If these guys took a step outside the barrier
The world would end.
The faces of my wife and sons flashed in my mind.
Ahh, I wanted to see them one last time
Thoughts like that swirled in my mind.
A-AhmJohann-san.
H-Halt! Are you alright!?
Halt regained consciousness.
He had fallen right beside the magical barrier where I was, and he only faced me while speaking.
The slimeswere pretty strong, huh.
Eh?
Those things you fought against were not slimes, no matter how you look at it.
I was the one who captured them and brought them here, but those werent slimes, no doubt about it.
Im so sorry for capturing strange things!
W-Welost, right?
Halt bitterly cried.
No, you didnt lose!
You CANT lose!!
The world would end if you guys lost!!
N-Not yet.
Eh
You guys didnt lose yet!!
Johann
You guys can do it! Theres no one else but you guys!! Halt, the worlds existence depends on you!!
This might sound unfair, but we dont have a choice but to let Halt and his comrades fight.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
As far as I know, no one else was strong enough to fight against those five monsters that were still in one piece even after all that happened in their battle.
B-By the wayIs it possible to have a rematch if we lose?
I was dumbfounded because of the shock.
Thanks, Seira, Ryuka.
No need to mention it. Ryuushin is the one who got it worst, after all.
Halt, you poured mana to the floor so the repair was a breeze!
While they were talking about a bunch of things that didnt made sense, the rest of Halts comrades also stood up.
You understand now that you cant let your guard down just because theyre slimes?
Urk, sorry. (Youko)
Sorry~. (Hakua)
I will never let my guard down just because its a slime! (Ryuushin)
Glad that everyone got it nowAlright! Lets go home and have an evaluation meeting. Tina, is it okay if we have curry for today?
Of course, please leave it to me.
Whooaaa! Its Tinas curry for today!? (Shiro)
I jumped when the tiny wolf sitting on Halts shoulder suddenly spoke.
That beast was registered as Halts familiar, but so, it can talk, huh.
Were looking forward to Tinas curry. (Mai and Mei)
L-Lets hurry up and go home! (Youko)
Yes yes. Then, Johann, please take care of us next week again. Thank you.
Halt took his comrades and left the arena.
...
EhD-Dont tell me, I-Ive been left here to deal with those slimes!?
I was getting all anxious because of that, when
The slimes followed Halt out of the arena for some reason.
Stillyour attacks had been way too fast! (Youko)
Kyupi!
Hey, arent you too good at manipulating your magic suit? Is it okay if I call you teacher?
Kyupipi
Ryuushin, this child said okay.
Luna, you can also understand Slime lingo? (Sylph)
Yes, of course.
Amazing~ (Hakua)
Kyupi!
That had been one heck of a battle just some time ago, but now these slimes were joining the conversation as if they had been part of Halts group from the start.
EhSowhat?
I dont really get it, but
At least the world is safe now, it seems.
