18 Chapter 15: Weaker than a Slime (1/2)

Hmhm.

So that's how it is.

Actually.

You see…

I've been awake from the start. Yes.

So… Yeah. I've heard everything, up until her ragged and slightly erotic gasping.

Ah-

No. I didn't say that. I'm not saying that about the girl who looked erotic while her cheeks are blushing yet pale, sweat trickling down her neck, and her eyes teary. I also didn't think that her thighs felt really nice or something. I definitely, absolutely, certainly did not thought of it as erotic.

Yeah.

Honest.

… Okay. J-Just a little.

And so right now, she's resting and is asleep.

How can she sleep so peacefully while sitting on this needlessly large throne? Moreover, right after that agonizingly painful look.

I wanted to help her alleviate the pain, but what can a Poltergeist do? I don't have any skills that can help her.

It was a bit hard for me to pretend to be asleep, but it's too risky for me to incur the wrath of the Grand Slime, who has now strangely become small. It's now just a bit smaller than an average human head.

Well, it's much better to look at with this appearance.

I checked its status to be sure, and yeah. It was the same Grand Slime who almost killed me earlier.

That really got me, to be honest. I was really scared that time. Not to mention, the pain and other disturbing sensations running around my body was… *shiver* I was too preoccupied with escaping and forgot to even check before moving.

After checking its status, I've learned how it prevented my escape. It was because of the skill Intimidating Glare.

[Intimidating Glare: Prevents target's any kind of escape within a radius of 100 meters and renders any transport skills useless. In the case the target tries to escape, it will receive damage per second, equal to a fourth of the user's Physical Attack.]

If I tried to escape that time… In just four seconds, I'll be dead.

There really was no escape from me then, I guess.

Anyways, it looks like I survived, at least.

That's good.

I checked my Resurrect skill and I still have remaining 4 times to use it. That means, it wasn't used when I lost my consciousness. I didn't die.

Phew…

But I got mixed feelings though. It's like I feel relieved, yet disappointed. I wanted to learn what will happen if I resurrect. Will I lose all my skills? Will I retain my level? Will I revert back to being a Wandering Soul?

Without knowing those yet, I'm still not into Resurrecting at the time being. So I'm more on the relieved side.

Anyways. While the slime is gone, I'll check my status for now.

Analyze.

Oh…?? Ohhhh…?? Ohhhh…!! Look at those skills…! Magic skills!

Though, I still can't use them!

*sniffle*

Ahh. Yeah, yeah. I did fight a lot of slimes earlier before being crushed by that Grand Slime. Right, right, right…

Mufufu. And so, I leveled up quite a lot. As a result, I got a lot stronger. I even got their Magic skills! I so consumed the heck out them, if I remember right.

I'm moved… I'm touched… Look at these numbers… These new titles… Yeah… Like this one, Enchanted… and…

Uhm…

… Excuse me?

<Weaker than a Slime>

Tell me about it! What the heck is with this title…??

I know I lost to a slime, but this is too cruel. My opponent was a Grand Slime… It was the king of slimes! How can I not be weaker than that…?? Whoever gives these Titles had to give this Title to me…! *sniffle*

What is it about, anyways??

[Weaker than a Slime: A Title given to those who lost to a slime. Good luck next time, weakling.]

… *snap*

Ohoho… 'Weakling', eh…? Hoho… I see, I see. I'm a weakling, huh?

Tch. I want to see the manager. Let me see the manager!!

Girl: ”Hnn…”

Oh, there. I almost woke up the lady. I was rolling around to vent out my frustration… Sorry about that, little girl.

Inhale… Exhale… Just kidding. But that helps. Calm down me.

… Well.

Indeed. I lost. I'm a weakling compared to a slime. I should accept that reality. That's what happened. That's the truth, since I got this title. I should accept it.

And move forward. I just have to get stronger then.

I'm not upset about the title. Really.

Hm? I was just complaining about it just earlier?

Pssh… Who is? I don't remember such an event.
