“OK Sui, you’ve got enough enemies, it’s my turn now . ” As Fer said that, he fired several volleyball-sized stones and hit three Wyverns simultaneously . These two guys . . . OK, I knew that both Fer and Sui are strong, but when I saw them shooting down these flying monsters so easily I didn’t know what to think .

“Okay, that’s all of them shot down now . ” Fer concluded .

“Yeah-” Sui sounded disappointed, somehow .

“Next thing, we have to finish off the survivors but remember Wyvern meat is delicious so we don’t want to mess them up .   The best thing is to cut their head off at the neck like this . ” Professor Fer continued his how-to-deal-with-terrifying-monsters lecture as Sui listened avidly .

Splat, roll . . . I guessed that Fer used wind magic . He sliced the Wyvern’s neck and the head rolled clean off . F-, Fer, how can you do that so nonchalantly?

“I understand . ” said Sui . “Sui will try to do it like Fer-ojichan . ”

“Monsters like these have some resistance to magical attacks so if you’re going to cut their heads off with magic, you should put a bit more mana into your spell . ”

“OK-” Saying that, Sui approached a fallen Wyvern and cut off his head . Was that a Water Cutter?

“Yay! I did it . ” Sui bounced happily .

“Yes, that was well done Sui . ” Fer said approvingly . “You’ve got the knack . I’ll help you deal with the rest of them . ”

“Yeah-”

The two of them went ahead and cut off the heads of the fallen Wyverns one after another, chop chop chop . Wow, they didn’t even hesitate . It was just like Sui-chan was turning into another Fer and that kinda worried me . OK, she was powerful, legendary even (for a Slime) but I’d rather have the cute Sui-chan, the one that trembles and bounces .

“Gyaaaa . . . Shhhhh . . . ” A blast of wind accompanied the loud cry . Oh shit, another Wyvern was hovering directly in front of me . It looked like we’d missed one, there were 13 of them not 12 . Was I going to die?

“Gyaa, gyaa, gyaaaaah!” The Wyvern was seriously pissed off after seeing all his friends killed in front of him .

“Ooooooooooooooooooo, Fer, do something, save meー ー ー ー ー ー !!!”

Chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk! The Wyvern stabbed at me over and over again,  attacking me with the poison stinger in its tail . However thanks to Fer’s Barrier spell the strikes bounced off and I was safe somehow .

Chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk!  “Hiiii—” The Wyvern screamed in frustration but didn’t stop trying to stab me with its tail .

“Oh, there’s one left . ” came Fer’s voice . “Die, asshole . ” Slash . Suddenly the Wyvern’s head fell off and black blood spouted from its neck . Thump! I collapsed sideways as the Wyvern’s huge body slumped to the ground in front of me .

“Wow! Fer-ojichan is sooo strong!” A high-sprited Sui jumped around, poing poing .

“I, I’m saved . . . . . . . . . . . . ”

“Of course you’re safe so stop yelling . My Barrier wouldn’t even get scratched by a mere Wyvern attacking it . ” Fer pointed out .

“Yabbut, a Wyvern . . . ” I tried to explain . “It scared me, it’s such a big monster and it tried to stab me with its poison stinger and . . . ” I gave up under Fer’s withering gaze . Monsters such as Wyverns were nothing to him .

“I was hoping for a bigger flock of Wyverns, not this mere handful . ” Fer said dismissively .   “It was good practice for Sui though . ”

Fer thought that 12-  no, 13 Wyverns is an insignificant number . . . I didn’t really understand just how strong Fer really is .

“Ok, will we go back to town after I collect up the Wyverns?” I asked .

“No, not yet . We’ll go back after we’ve eaten . ” Fer announced .

“Sui is hungry, I want to eat dinner too-” Sui-chan chimed in .

. . . so that’s how it’s going to be, huh ~ . Well, it was the only reason these two battle maniacs brought me along, to cook for them . I figured it was time to get to work and started making dinner .
