Chapter 12 (1/2)

Neo gave me permission to start translating any series I wanted since the other translators are out, because I usually don’t do translations and this is self-edited please bear with me.

Chapter 12: Beginner Quest (2 victims)

We were in the forest near the city.

There multiple colored slime quivered about.

Because the size is about 3 meters each, there is moderate power. Then.

「Oi look at this」

Seeping out of the soil, were fluids of various color, giving off a disgusting feeling.

「You, is this your first time seeing a slime?」

While knitting her eyebrows, Media hit my back.

She seemed to be having fun, and we followed.

「While you are eagerly sightseeing, I will be taking a drink」

「……didn't you come to support us?」

「Well, I actually just came because I was free」

That being said, she really did start drinking.

Even though there is a slime right in front of me, this sage.

「You guys will be able to beat it, it’s a low-level monster」

「Low level, but the slime are breeding like this though」

「It’s a magical creature after all. They grow from the magical power in the soil, and come out」

I see. I had never cared about the ecology of slime, but they came out of the soil.

Since they grow up in the ground, they are unexpectedly delicious, kind of looks like a drinkable vegetable」

「Eh, the solution obtained from them, are they used like that!?」

Slime apparently can be drunk. This is the first time I have heard of it.

「I see」

Appreciating the explanation, I give a nod towards Media.

「Eto, can we defeat them by shooting magic?」

「Ah, wait a moment Kouta-kun, let me help you」

Media said that and left her drink.

「I will put up a barrier, accept it, then attack with magic」

And then Media put forth both hands.

「……《s.h.i.+eld》!」

In an instant in front of us, a wall-shaped barrier appeared.

Blocked by the transparent wall, the slime stops moving.

「Amazing」
