Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken
First battle
A path leading out of from the underground lake.
It was a single tunnel.
With a *boyo boyo*, I ascend the path.
Moving around is actually more pleasant than you'd expect.
Even places that light fails to reach are perfectly visible to [Magic Perception].
I would more around slowly"checking every step"when I was blind; and, slimes aren't that fast to begin with.
Now, I normally move at a walking pace, but can also run. Nor do I get tired.
But, since I don't have any reason to hurry, I move at a moderate pace.
I swear this is not the result of a trauma from the first time I ran and fell into the lake!
A short while after, a giant gate had appeared before my eyes.
A human made structure inside the cave.
Nothing that strange about it. But, that's because this development is common in RPGs.
It's normal to have a door in front of the boss's room.
So... how should I get it open?
Should I cut it with the [Water Blade]?
When I though that,
Gigigiiiiiii!!!
With a creaking noise, the door is opening.
A little flustered, I hid by the edge of the path, and observed the situation.
It finally opened, huh. Lock fell apart and the doors rusted...
Hey, that's only to be expected. Don't they say that no one entered here in 300 years?
Not on record, at least. But more importantly, are we really going to be fine? We won't be attacked suddenly, right?
Gahahaha! Don't worry. He might have been unrivaled 300 years ago, but times have changed. I mean, ain't he just a big lizard! I've subjugated Basilisks by myself. Leave it to me!!!
About that, I've wondered for a while, but that's a lie, isn't it? Basilisks are ranked B+, right? Solo subjugation would be impossible for Cabal-san, wouldn't it?
Fool! I am a B rank myself! They are just big lizards; no trouble at all!
Okay, okay, I got it, so would you please not let your guard down? Well, if it comes down to it, I'll just escape using "Forced Withdrawal"...
Guys, I got the extent of your friendship, so could you please be quiet? You'll blow my "Camouflage Skill"
Somehow, a boisterous trio had entered.
I wonder why...
Actually... why do I understand their words?
ï¼"ï¼"Solution. In cases where intentions are vocalized, [Magic Perception] converts them to appropriate words and transmits them to the brain.ï¼ï¼
I see.
I can't talk to them, but at least I can understand them.
Thank goodness. I had always been bad with English.
I think that if you live in Japan there should be no need to study foreign languages.
Those who plan to go abroad can struggle by themselves.
But that excuse won't work here. I'll probably have to learn eventually.
Well, that matter can rest for now.
What should I do?
This dilemma is worse than the previous one"how to open the door.
I don't know what they came to do... but they seem like adventurers.
Did they come searching for treasures and stuff?
They are the first humans I meet in this world. sort of want to go and greet them.
But... if a mute monster slime (a.k.a I) were to go out there...
I'd be killed without questions.
Let's wait for now.
Meeting humans will have to wait until I can talk.
For now, I observed this situation in hiding.
After the skinny man had done something, the appearance of the three has dimmer. But, I can still see them.
Did he call this... camouflage?
Probably a type of skill.
Is he just trying to peek? What an outrageous guy... Does he even know why they came here?
Probably should get to know him later.
When the three had finally left, I started moving again.
Nothing to worry about.
