Exit the gates of the town and head to the woods.

"............... you're tired"

"Yes, I never thought I'd be so tired just going out into the woods"

"Huh. I hope you're enthusiastic about your work"

"Excuse me. If I could tell the truth, I'd be able to get out into the woods without a problem."

"No, I think I'm with you even if I mentioned Ciel. It's them."

I was happy to see Ciel for the first time in two days, but it took me a few dozen minutes to convince the gatekeeper.

I don't know what else to do because there's more sightings of Gulbal, but I'm tired.

I'm glad Mr. Druid came with us.

If I were alone, I would never be able to.

I can't break through that one.

I'll check on the woods as I head to the dump.

There are more traces of big demons everywhere, even though they just weren't here for two days.

Probably a trace of Grubbal.

They're all claw marks and footprints of the same size.

"You should be careful. It's pretty close to town."

"Yes...... Ah, Ciel is here"

Stop and look around.

After a while, Ciel flutters down from the top.

"What?"

I look up as I stroke Ciel's head.

It's a place in the woods.

I mean, there are no trees up there.

…………

"Mr. Druid, can you fly Adandala?

"No, I've never heard of that. Maybe he jumped off that tree over there. Here."

If you look at the one Mr. Druid points to, there is a large tree a few dozen meters away.

With Ciel's leg strength, I might be able to do it, though I feel a little distant.

"Nya-yay."

"Oh, Ciel, I'm sorry. Good morning."

"Nya-yay."

Ciel's gaze softly turns over Mr. Druid's head.

I was followed and watched, and it solidified.

Sola is dancing over Mr. Druid.

He makes moves that look like he's dancing, not vertical exercises or pulls on the side.

"What's up?

"Eh, Sola is dancing over my head"

"Huh? Like the usual vertical movements"

"No, move vertically, shake left and right, move vertically. Uh, hips? twist, puffy......"

I try to explain Sora's movements somehow, but I can't.

There would be no hips in the slime in the first place.

But he moves like he has a lower body and upper body.

"Ivy, that's good. You don't have to explain. Does that mean you're making a move you've never seen before?

"Yes. I've never seen it before. Is this evolution?

"No, I don't think the movement had anything to do with the evolution of the slime... just because it's Sola"

I'm convinced of the word because it's Sola.

As I stare at Sola, Ciel slips her body away.

I was just watching Sola, so I guess I got jealous?

"Ciel, Sola's doing something funny. Does that mean I'm happy to see Ciel?

"Ni?"

This way of ringing Ciel is cute too.

Tell Ciel about the last two days as you head to the dump.

"I did my best, Ciel."

"Nyah."

Ooh, that's a new way of ringing.

You seem to be telling me I'm glad, I'm glad.

I got to the dump, but it looks the same as it did a few days ago.

I wonder if I can help because I'm restricted from going out into the woods.

That said, the original large dump.

I have what I need.

"Ciel, can I have a look at Flem?

"Nya-yay."

Gently place the flem out of the bag at the root of the tree.

The persuasion to stay awake a little longer is during my total defeat.

How can Flem stay awake long?

It's a challenge.

As we head to the dump, Sola is bouncing around at the dump.

I've always been a better jumper in a dump.

I used to be able to bury it right in the garbage or it was pinched.

There will be Mr. Druid near Sola, so it will be okay if something happens to Sola.

Looking for potions a little further away.

"Pu ~"

Hmm?

Turning his gaze to Sora's slightly different voice, Mr. Druid was rescuing Sora caught in garbage.

... seems to get pinched where I forgot.

Put the blue potion and the red potion in the bag.

I brought an empty bag so I can take it back in bulk.

Mr. Druid puts a ton of swords in his bag as he looks at Sola.

Sola is... eating.

Every time I check on Sola, the sword I'm eating is different, but I wonder how much the hell I'm eating.

Confirming where Ciel and Flem are... for some reason Ciel is inside the dump.

Is something wrong?

"Ciel, what's going on?

"What's going on?

"Pu?"

Moving beside Ciel, Ciel stares at something.

When I follow my gaze, Flem is eating something.

Uh, what are you eating?

Doesn't that seem like a potion?

"Are you all right? That, Flem? Unusual, I can't believe you're awake."

"Yes. Um... Flem is eating stones"

"Stone?"

It didn't look like Mr. Druid, but Frem was eating stones.

No way stone.

"Oh, it's true"

Mr. Druid comes beside me to see what Flem is eating.

If it's a stone, don't you have to pick it up at the dump?

Speaking of which, how come there's a ton of stones in the dump?

"Mr. Druid, what is this stone all about?

"Oh, this is a magic stone."

"Demon Stone?

"Yes, used up demon stones become like stones."

Speaking of which, you've heard of it.

I see, is this the former demon stone?

Take one and take a closer look.

... it just looks like stone no matter where you look.

"Is this a stone? Or is it not like stone?

"I wonder if it's a stone. Because if you inject magic into that stone, it will resurrect you as a demonic stone."

"What, really? Then why are you throwing it away?

It's a waste to be reusable.

"To inject magic, you need someone with intense magic."

Intense concentration?

I've never heard of anyone with such magic.

I wonder where he is.

"By the way, one person with that special magic is born every hundred years or not."

I see. Can you reuse it, but can't you inject magic?

"Teriyu ~"

Turning his gaze to Flem's voice, he's shaking a little harder than usual.

"Ryu ~, Ryu ~"

"Flem, are you okay??

"Riu ~"

It makes my voice a little louder.

Something's just wrong.

Did you have a problem eating stones?

"Ryu!...... Pong"

Something pops out of Flem's mouth.

Look, beautiful green stone.

Flem doesn't seem interested in beautiful stones, and he starts eating stoned demon stones again.

"Mr. Druid."

"Ah."

I just heard.

He said it was quite unusual for anyone to be able to inject magic into a stone-like demon stone that had been used up.

See what Flem spit out.

It looks like a demon stone no matter how you look at it.

"Riu ~"

My shoulders bounce on Flem's voice.

Again? I get up all the time, but he's dissatisfied with the fact that there's no stone nearby.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Just hang in there."

Collect tons of stones with Mr. Druid and pile them up in front of Flem.

Flem looks like he'll have fun with the pull when he sees the stone.

And digest the stones with the momentum of eating potions.

I take the green stone that came out of Flem's mouth as I watched it.

"Mr. Druid, is this a demonic stone for sure?

Pass the green stone to Mr. Druid.

He just needs to see what it is.

"Definitely a demon stone."

Uh, it looks like both Frem and Rae have evolved into Rare slimes following Sola.

"Ryu, Ryu, Ryu.... Pong"

Does this keep producing demonic stones if you keep eating stones?

Plus, I don't feel like I'll ever be full because I'll turn it into a demon stone even if I eat it.

"Flem, you don't have to work so hard to produce the Demon Stone"

If I suppress letting it out, I'll be full too.

Probably.
