Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken

[I offer my sincerest apologies~~~~!!!]

I was deeply bowing my head (in my heart at least!).

We were being detained in the guard station of the dwarven gatekeepers.

After causing an uproar to such an extent, it was somewhat obvious that I

wouldn't be declared innocent and released on the spot.

The dwarf guardsmen had come rushing over and instantly surrounded all

of us that were involved.

Although...my previous opponents of 5 were perfectly knocked out, so I

felt like it was just me being trapped in that circle.

That was it! I should secretly turn back into a slime and.... Run away.

I thought to myself, ˜Eureka!'.

But as I returned to my slime form and attempted escape...

Grab!

My body was abruptly seized, and then a feeling of being suspended came

over me.

I was so easily captured...

The soldier-san who caught me was smiling with a face that said, ˜Where

do you think you're going?'

But I could tell by the bulging vein in his forehead, that he wasn't happy in

the least.

[Wai-, I haven't done anything you know! I'm also a victim in this matter!]

I tried pleading the way Gobuta-kun would, however...

[Uh huh. Is that right! All the same, I'll listen to your story at the guard

station! You'd better not think about running away!]

He still wore that wonderful smile, even as he warned me.

It might be a better idea to just give in...

Suddenly I thought to myself, ˜What's Gobuta-kun doing right now?', and

when I looked around...

I saw that even now, his eyes were still closed and his ears covered.

...That idiot! What was he thinking?

No wait...he was probably not thinking at all. He was a ninny after all.

While feeling somewhat amazed, I called Gobuta-kun over.

And this was how we were dragged away to the guard station.

The order of how events played out that time!

First, I was forced into a fight!

Second, I transformed into a wolf!

Third, I let out a howl at a teensy bit loud volume.

How about it? I'm not to blame right?

With that in mind, I sneaked a quick look up at soldier-san.

As ever, he was still wearing that wonderful smile.

His beard was a fine match with his good natured and hearty looks.

It's such a pity though~, if only those veins on his forehead would calm

down...

[Uhm~, why was I brought along with you?]

[You i-di-ot! What are you saying? Because you got involved in that mess,

we are the ones getting reprimanded!]

[Eh?! So that's what happened! I'm really sorry.... I caused alot of troubles

again....]

[Well, it couldn't be helped this time, but make sure to be more careful

next time alright?]

Whew. I think I fooled him somehow. What I used just now was the

ultimate skill, "shifting blame"!

*Original text is 人®›„. I'm pretty sure it has to do with controlling blame, but not completely

sure. If you know what it means please let me know

This was an advanced social technique which you could master only after

many years of life experience. The trick was to not let the other party

suspect you.

It was considerably difficult to use!

*If you're wondering what that accomplished, the guard's mood got a little better, I guess

Moving on.

Actually, while I did jokingly recount how the incident had occurred, it

was mostly quite accurate.

Using the information they gained from the witnesses, the guards had also

reached the same conclusion as how I had described it.

I felt that their attitudes towards me had become softer to a certain extent.

[Now. About that demon wolf. What was it?]

Asking the question was the soldier-san who was in charge of the

investigation.

What did he mean by what it was?

The name of its species?

[Let's see, the name of that wolf species is-...]

[Not that. I don't need to know the name of its species, or anything like

that. Why did that kind of demon appear in that place? To begin with,

where did it come from and where did it go? Speak of everything you

know!]

Mm?

Although I told them I transformed into the wolf, it seems they don't

believe me?

As a rule, heroes hide the fact that they can transform, but I'm no hero.

That was why I had openly talked like a chatterbox, and yet...

[No...now see here, I'm telling you that it was me who transformed into

that wolf!]

[Ha~. Really, I get that it's rare for a slime being able to talk, but

transformation?]

[Wait wait, then should I show you I can do it?]

[Hmph. Well whatever. However, let's say for arguments sake that the wolf

really was you. Why can you transform? Aren't you a slime?]

Eh?

Confronted with such a question, how should I reply?

Honestly answering, ˜It's a unique skill!', would be a foolish move. If I did

that, it would put me on the same level as Gobuta-kun.

Think!

Come up a good explanation right this moment, me!!!
