Wizard Slime After a while, the door opened with a clank and a 『Person』 came out.
A girl about fifteen years of age who has a beautifully braided blond hair.
???: “Ara, with whom am I talking to? It"s very rare for people to come here.”
I got surprised that the girl said so.
That"s because I thought that a slime would show up instead of a person.
Azusa: “Umm… is this the wizard slime"s workshop…?”
It"s not in a popular place so it"s not strange that other wizards have a workshop like this as well.
???: “Aah, I see, I see. I have made all of you confused, yes?”
The girl laughed merrily.
Slime: “I am a slime. This is the result of using a transformation magic.”
Azusa: “A slime!?”
I doubted my eyes. That"s obvious as there"s no element of slime from her at all.
It seemed that I was not alone. Both Beelzebub and Leica had a face that look like they were tricked by a fox.
Beelzebub: “You, you"re not trying to deceive us, right…?”
Slime: “There"s no such thing. I have lived as a slime for about three hundred years, but because it is easier to live in human form, I had been using this form since one hundred and fifty years ago.”
Three hundred years old…. It"s almost the same as me…
Azusa: “Now that you mentioned it, I have never heard about a slime"s life span…”
I have never seen an old slime nor baby slime, so I don"t know about that at all. Farufa and Sharusha are just spirits, so they are an exception.
Slime: “Most slimes don"t have decent intelligence, so there aren"t too many lives and deaths occurred, you see. They split and multiply by themselves which of those, only a few have intelligence just like me.”
Azusa: “I don"t have any verification about that as this is my first time hearing it, so I have to believe it"s all true for now…”
I don"t think there would be any benefit for lying to us.
Slime: “Well, instead of talking while standing here, please come inside. Though, even if I said that, a slime doesn"t have to eat, so I haven"t prepared any tea yet and I don"t have enough chairs for us to sit down as well.”
We decided to go inside just like what she offered.
Honestly speaking, It was so cold in the mountains so it"s grateful to be inside a room.
●
There was certainly only one chair, hence we let her sit down and decided to stand while talking. The room itself feels like a wizard"s workshop and things like books and stuffs are lined up on a bookshelf.
The room merely has a simple design with only a bookshelf and a table and no toilet nor dining room as those are all unnecessary for slime.
The person called herself as the 『Wizard Slime』.
Similar case with Smalime, it seems that there"s no concept of proper nouns for slimes.
Slime: “There"s noone who came to visit me, or rather, almost non-existent. They won"t know that a slime who uses magic exists, so there"s no need for a name, you see.”
I understand what she"s trying to say, but it"s better to have a name here, right?
Azusa: “Okay then, a short version of wizard slime, wizlime… alright, I will call you Wizlime.”
It may be not a great sense of naming but it"s probably still in her permissible range.
Wizlime: “I understand. Well then, please call me Wizlime. So, what"s everyone purpose for coming here?”
Wizlime glanced at Farufa.
Wizlime “Though, I know that it"s related to that slime.”
That"s right. That"s exactly right.
I told her that Farufa, a slime spirit, suddenly became a slime.
Azusa: “ーThat"s why, I"m looking for a solution. Do you have something in mind?”
Wizlime: “Let"s see, can you lend me that miss slime?”
I approached to Wizlime"s side.
As expected, it seems that she can understood what Farufa is trying to say even though her form has changed.
When Wizlime lifted Farufa up, she pressed Farufa"s body thoughtlessly.
Should this be called palpation?
Wizlime: “Hmmm, I see. The elasticity is completely different compared to an ordinary slime, and you can easily understand that she"s a special slime, yes?”
Leica: “You could understand even to that part?!”
Leica was surprised.
Wizlime: “Yes, I know about it as I have been a slime for a long time. To put it bluntly, if you have an ordinary slime at level 1, this miss slime is about level 35. It might be difficult for ordinary adventurers to defeat her.”
If you say like that, I could quite understand it.
Certainly I can"t imagine where Farufa and Sharusha could be equal against slimes, and in fact, they can even defeat them with ease.
After that, Wizlime touched Farufa.
Wizlime: “Aah, I see. I see. So that"s it, hmmm, that part, huh? So that"s the problem~”
I can"t retort 『Which part are you talking about!?』 as I think that there are some things that only slime knows….
Beelzebub said, 『I have been alive for a long time, but the world is still full of unknown things』, so there is no doubt that this is a unique experience for her as well.
In the end, Wizlime had touched Farufa and written some notes on dried large leaves in the past fifteen minutes. It seems to be a subst.i.tute for paper.
Wizlime: “I got the answer.”
Farufa leaped immediately towards here after Wizlime released Farufa,
I caught her with both of my hands.
Azusa: “Please tell me! Please!”
I will respectfully obey.
Wizlime: “Why did this miss slime is in her present formーーーis because she has a sprained neck, you see.”
Everyone: “”Sprained neck!?””
Our side let out a surprised voice together and asked her again.
