Author-san

The author is a high school student… I got a recommendation from a designated school. Yes, I did. It was good that I was not required to have an entrance exam and the test was only maths. But isn’t a 1000 word application form a bit daunting… ?? I’ve got nothing to write about… You know what? The author also writes 1500 words every day, but that’s not the same thing as that…

This was a sudden complaint from the author. Haha, Sukkiri-chan(◜ᴗ◝ )(Escaping reality).

「… Hmmm… ?」

Weak, by all accounts… I don’t know. Is this strong for lvl 38… ? I don’t know. But it’s much weaker than the monsters we’ve been fighting lately.

「… It’s weak」

「… I didn’t say anything」

「Well, it’s true」

「That’s true」

「─── !!」

「Fu… !」

When the green slime starts to tremble, kamaitachi arise from around the slime. Hearing the sound of the wind, I cut through the kamaitachi that had been launched towards me.

TL. kamaitachi– cut caused by whirlwind

「… Aya is always out of the norm…」

「Really?」

「Really!」

「Fuhmm?」

「You should be a little more aware…」

「Hey, hey, isn’t that slime running away?」

「「Eh?」」

I look at the place where the slime was earlier. But there was already nothing there. I look around and see the green slime slowly running away… Ku… ! So cute… !

「《Thunderbol───」

「W- Wait!」

Suzu suddenly holds her nose, but I am a little worried and look at the slime. Then, before I knew it, the slime had moved to my feet and was staring at me (or seemed to be staring at me).

《Tame success! ──Would you like to be friends?》

「Wa?」

「…… Fuu… fuu…… w- what’s wrong?」

「I got a tame success message…」

「Waaaaaa!!?!?!??」

「Uhyan!!」

「Ah, sorry…」

「No. I’m fine」

「I see. I’m sorry …Let’s just think about it」

「Un」

Suzu had prepared a sheet at the base of a large tree nearby, I sat down on it and put the slime on my lap.

「Hmmm… What should I do…」

「I don’t know how to prepare monster food…」

「It’s going to cost a lot of money…」

So I thought about it for a while, petting the slime, and decided not to make it my friend. I’m carrying its life on my shoulders. It’s a heavy burden for me…

「… Bye bye」

「──────……」

The slime changes its shape and leaves the scene.

… Its back looked very melancholy.

───I shouldn’t have understood.

───I couldn’t be her friend because I could understand her.

───I almost died because I understood.

───I shouldn’t be weak.

Thoughts are circling endlessly in the nucleus.

───Then I should be stronger.

───To be as strong as anyone else.

───Will she become my friend next time?

───I want to protect her.

I came to a conclusion much sooner than I would have expected given my appearance───and I acted quickly.

… Time passes…

『I’ve finally got it… This is my body?』

A beautiful girl with clear white skin, green hair and eyes smiles very happily.

I’ve been diligently hunting for the heads of defenseless monsters with my Kamaitachi───and I’ve evolved and become a field boss.

『… Fufu… Wait for me. Let’s be friends this time… ? But maybe it’s not enough… I have to try harder…』

Until a person and a monster reunites…

Earnestly…

… So, for better or worse, she’s a simple girl.
