Chapter 58 (1/2)
Volu my breath, I released some mana toward the three slimes
The slimes quivered and jumped toward that mana The emotion transmitted to me was joy
On the outside, the sli, but thanks to my Mana Perception skill, I could tell that they were in fact absorbing ht…” [Ryou and absorbingthe relationshi+p between sliic, so slimes definitely have mana The condition to becoic itself
At the tiured, “if so, then wouldn’t it be possible to create a sliic?” But the result was that I just ended up hurting the slimes, so I stopped the experiments But what about now?
A sliured there should be a sli that I confirmed with Maelyn-san just the other day
If it’s an existing sli its diet The next question would be whether mana could be used as feed for sliain This time I turned my mana into that of the fire attribute In as Supposedly, that the ie one visualizes varies froe my neutral attribute mana into the fire attribute
This attribute conversion is necessary if one is to use an attribute’s spell Only, nor with the conversion of ht before I cast the spell,o leaving the mana in a converted state as I release it
“This is actually ic normally” [Ryouma]
It’s probably because I’m not used to it
“You don’t like neutraljust neutral attribute mana, the absorption rate of the slime became slower
I tried out different attributes, and I found out that two out of the three slimes preferred earth attribute, while the last one preferred dark attribute
It seems mana attribute is an individual preference
Does ?
Anyway, the slimes look happy, so let’s continue
After that I kept feeding the sli out ofa break, I took the dried waterproof cloths, went back to town, and headed to Zeke-san’s store
“Welco for?” [Store Clerk]
It was a 14 or 15 year-old boy that greetedI’d like to discuss with the er, Zeke-san I wonder if it would be possible to talk to hi for you!” [Store Clerk]
When he called out loud like that, a man covered in bloodstained clothes came out It was Zeke-san
Pale skin, unhealthily thin, and bloodstained clothes… This person is – in a very different way froan-san – also scary…
“Oh, if it isn’t Ryouma-kun You have some business with me?” [Zeke]
“Yes, actually…” [Ryouma]
I explained to him my situation
“…I see So there was a sliive you so adventurers who dropped by with a lot of spoils, so there’s plenty of blood if you need them” [Zeke]
“Thank you very much” [Ryouma]
After that I was let in to the workplace 5 men were in the e ceiling joist froled fro from the hooks and cords
“Over here” [Zeke]
I was led to one of the beasts dangling froe containers beneath it, and both were filled with blood The containers were as long as the room
“Thank you Would it be okay to feed my slietting permission, I put the bloody slime inside one of the containers The bloody slime immediately went to work, and in the blink of an eye, the blood was sucked up until nothing was left
“Wo, that’s convenient” [Zeke]
“You think so too?” [Ryou it from the meat And even if we didn’t, ould still have to wash the container Unfortunately, it’s big, heavy… It’s a huge hassle” [Zeke]
“Especially, e get a big one Whenever we have to drain a lot of blood like today, it takes a lot of work” [Worker 1]
“I see” [Ryou that even the worker nearby said it took a lot of effort But still, they had to do it
We were here already, so I figured I ht as well ask if there are any dishes that use blood
“A dish that uses blood as an ingredient? Never heard of one”
“I mean it’s common sense to throw blood Yeah?”
“Of course, if you could eat it, that would be a waste…”
“I’ve heard that the mana in the blood disperses if you leave blood on its own, but then the blood spoils or dries, so you still can’t eat it”
Looks like mana-infused blood really is just waste
