I glanced at the goblin.
The goblins are, from what I can see, pretty desperate. They are on guard, weapon in hand; and are politely calling out to me.
Unfortunately, many seem to have run away already.
But as expected of the leader,
He looks me straight in the eye... err, straight at me.
Alright.
I feel some intelligence from this one. Might be able to talk properly.
Will my voice reach..?
I tried attaching thought to the spoken words and sending them to goblin.
Should I say, pleased to meet you? I am the slime, Rimuru.
The goblins began murmuring among themselves.
Were they surprised that a slime spoke? Or so I thought, but...
Among them, a few wearing plain clothing threw away their weapons.
I don't really get it.
Guga, O strong one! We very understand your great power! We beg, lower your voice!!!
Mu? Were the thoughts I attached too strong?
So I guess telepathy is a no go. They'd just be more afraid.
My bad. I still can't regulate it very well.
I guess I'll apologize.
We unworthy. No need apologize to us!
Seems like my words are reaching them.
This is some good practice.
Oh and by the way, I'm speaking Japanese, yet somehow, they are understanding.
So, what do you need from me? I don't have any particular reason to be going this way, either.
Since they have politely asked questions, I guess I'll politely answer.
And maybe it was too much, but to make sure they continued fearing me, I said that rather forcefully.
So it like that. On this path, stand our village. We felt strong monster, so came as precaution.
A strong monster's presence? One that I have not detected..?
Guga, gugaga, you joke! Even clothed in that form, we will not be fooled!
It seems like they've completely got the wrong idea. (Warning! The one who's mistaken is Rimuru!)
They are completely convinced that a powerful monster took the shape of a slime.
As would be expected from goblins, who are famous for being low ranking monsters.
After talking to the goblins for a while, it seems like I'll be imposing on their village.
That is, it seems like I'm staying over.
Though they look shabby, it seems they have a big heart.
And though I don't need to sleep, taking a break might be a good idea.
With that thought, I decided to accept the offer and go to their village.
.
We discussed many things.
That, the god they worshiped had recently disappeared.
That, along with his disappearance, various monsters begun moving.
That, the number of powerful adventurers had increased.
And so on.
And, during the conversation, I finally became able to clearly hear their words.
That I can probably attribute to having gotten used to listening with [Magic Perception].
