Volume 1 Chapter 20 (2/2)
Ryouma showed the vessel to Elia, and then dropped a rock in thewaves to rise within the small vessel
“The center of the rock is one’s self The waves are the flow of ine yourself to be at the center and allow your ic power to become like these waves of water Then allow it to spread to your surroundings where you think the monster may be”
Ryouma then, continued to drop s the waves ater ic After a while, he dropped a rock one more ti at some point when it hit a rock
“In a similar sense, this is how a , and is the reaction that you will get when using Search if there is a person or a et it That explanation was really easy to understand Well then, ‘Search’ !”
Elia iic power flowed into the surroundings with Elia as its center
“There are a lot of monsters just a little bit ahead of us!”
“Looks like it worked, unfortunately though, you put tooa lot is a waste, and also if there were a ician on their side, we’d be found out”
“Is that so? Looks like I need to practice”
“Search goes alongside with the duty of the vanguard, so I’ll do it It will be better for Elia to focus on ic”
“I understand Thank you, Ryouma-san”
Ryouma nodded and invocated ‘Search’ And as Elia o this way, the road will get wider and there’s an e a lot of response fro of that place It looks like there are plenty of , they’re probably cave bats”
Rheinbach-san nodded,
“If they’re in the ceiling, then they’re probably cave bats”
The Madam followed,
“If there’s sothen… Elia, will you be alright?”
“They’re sood practice, but…”
Said Rheinbach-sama
“Then in that case, do youthat, the three couldn't help but ask at the saoes well I may be able to round up the bats”
Ryouy
At that, he found out that the Cave Bat’s ecology is not that different fro that, Ryouured, if they were to use a ic that can create a powerful sound, it should be able to knock the cave bats out
Actually, while he was living in the forest, Ryouic that silences the sound surrounding the target, ‘Silent’ AVoice’ A ic that allows sound to reach far, ‘Whisper’ While practicing Big Sound, Ryouma was accidently able to produce a sound explosion capable of destroying the ear dru it with ‘Whisper’ he was able to create a reic called ‘Sound Bomb
Sound Bo a big noise Using this ic, it was possible to destroy the ear dru it to faint Ryouainst the bats it would have some effect
Only, there were currently three problems The first is whether or not the noise it produces will cause the tunnel to collapse or not, the second is whether there are people around or not and the last one is ill happen if it fails to dispose of the bats
Ryouma asked Rheinbach about the first question and as it turns out, since the tunnel has been strengthened by earththe cave collapsing As for the second probleure out if there are any people around by just using ‘Search’ and then in the instance that the ‘Sound Bomb’ fails to dispose of the bats, then Ryouht out the Sticky Slie’ had it block the tunnel, giving it the order to act as so that order, used the ‘Sticky Liquid’ to create a net Ryou the sound fro inside
“ ‘Search’ ……………… Good, there’s no one there The preparations have been completed”
Rheinbach nodded
“We're ready as well, you can go anytime you want”
“Then in that case, ‘Sound Bomb’ “
At that instance, a tremendous sound erupted like an explosion fro within the tunnels
The cave bats in the ceiling of the tunnel were unable to run and most of them fainted The ones that were able to run aere only 10, but those cave bats were unable to fly steadily and ended up hitting against the walls There were also soht in the net and was unable tothe barrier and the slime’s net, the four headed over to where the bats were When they got there, a significant nu on the floor
Seeing that, Rheinbach and the Madam couldn't help but praise,
“This is aerous, but they’re kind of hard to kill To think that a child would be able to deal with the like this has happened before”
“A, Ryouma-san!”
“The experiment seemed to have ended well Ah these, is it ok if I feed these to my slimes?”
“Well cave bats don’t really sell that well so”
Hearing that, Ryouma made the sticky slime split and had the 364 sticky slimes eat all of the cave bats After that, Ryouain, so he decided to have the
After that, Ryouma and his slime continued to support Elia while she hunted the small rats for the next hour
Afterwards, the four people left the tunnel After they had rested, they were planning to go to the next dungeon, but at that moment, Rheinhart came over And then he said,
“Ryouoing to sell?”
And so, because of that, Ryouots
He finished the ingots fairly quickly, but the three had already gone into the tunnel Being bored, Ryou the slimes split
However that also ended in an hour and without anything to do, Ryouma took out the sli
Ryouic towith his fists to hit the slied that or defended
Ryou like this from time to time while in the forest to train the slimes The slimes may be weak monsters but unless one hits the nucleus inside their body or hits the soft semi-liquid body of theirs, they can’t die
The slio anywhere So when Ryou the slimes, the slimes move the nucleus to the opposite direction to protect it and escape from the attack with its seround, the sliht after ta ti skillful
Ryou the sli and defending Like going under the bosoe, and entwining yourself around the hand holding the sword that has co the enemy’s weapon to parry
Moreover, while sli their body against their opponents, Ryouma’s slimes are able to extend tentacles and use it like some sort of whip There are also so their hands Nowadays there are slimes that can extend their bodies and use spears and pseudo-rod techniques
Also, while Ryou Lilian couldn’t’ believe her eyes when she saw the sli movements that slimes normally couldn’t, however, Ryouma didn’t notice this
After this, Lilian went to Sebasu and asked, “Are Slian to worry about her health Fortunately though, she was able to solve theabout Ryou unable to believe that slimes could use battle techniques, Sebasu said, “Ryouma-sama’s slimes are able to perfor that, Lilian was convinced and she forgot about the sli?”
“Yes, the training for today has ended But more than that, I have a present for Ryouma san”
“Present?”
“Fufufu… If it’s Ryouma, I wonder if you’ll like it?”
As Elia and Elize said that, Rheinbach came with a box ic
“Inside this is a ical beast, it’s weak but you should still be careful”
Hearing that it’s acautious In the next moment, Ryouma was captivated when he saas inside
“Slirey Slime It was obviously not a normal slime, but it was a kind of slih class sliht it”
“Thank you very much! I’m really happy! To have another sliave his thanks to the other three and then began to observe the slime The three were happy that Ryou, they couldn’t help but give a wry smile At that, Rheinbach reical beast so it’ll be better for you to make a contract with it now”
As if he head just remembered it when Rheinbach mentioned it, Ryouma enacted the Slave Monster Contract After that, until it was tiave it to the sli whether or not it would eat it
The result was that the metal slime did in fact eat the lump of iron but needed tiot into its previous sand like state and the slime was able to eat it quickly
Ryouma hypothesized that the slime had most likely eaten the soil withlike that
And so he thought of using the sand-like iron that the metal slime liked to eat as lure And then made a contract with the lured slime He continued to feed the sli of whether or not the evolution condition is to feed it metal If it does evolve, then that will prove that the hypothesis is correct
After that, he was told that they were about to leave and so Ryoue amount of red soil as feed for the slime, and put it in a corner in his Dimension Home
He used ‘Create Block’ on the red soil and had the slie nuan to feel that he’s starting to reach the liic power A sensation that he hasn't felt in a while
Ryou for the town but while he was there, Rheinhart told him this,
“I know you’re tired and I’o with o to the place of the person ork with us to sell the iron, the slime thread, and the water proof cloth that youRyouma-kun as well”
Since Ryou wrong with going, and he agreed
After that, 1 hour had passed and they finally reached the town They then stopped in front of a huge shop
“Well, well What a pleasant surprise to have the members of the Duke’s Household come Welcome”
When they entered the store, they i rooot there, another man entered as well That man couldn't really be called fat, but he certainly had a stout figure
When he cae, it's been a while”
“Yes It’s unfortunate that I aet many opportunities to meet with the members of the Duke’s Household like this But I’ well
And as for this young lad here, I believe it’s the first tian I aan Firm”
“I am Ryouma Takebayashi+ Because of some twist of fate I’ve come to be in the care of the Jae was surprised at Ryouma’s manner of speech, he showed a sh this man's manner of speech was similar to Matthew of the Tamer Guild, Ryouma wasn’t able to feel the sort of ill will he felt fros ended, and they went onto the main topic
