Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken
The Ogre Tribe
All monsters within the cave now run away at the mere sight of me.
Probably the result of my aura.
Pleased, I left the cave.
So I planned, but...
Gu, who is it! Pursuers?
Young master! We'll only slow you down! Please escape with the princess!!!
Wicked demon! Don't try to deceive our eyes!!!
And other similar grand statements I could hear from a group at the entrance of the cave.
Height surpassing two meters, a group of large monsters looking like a ragtag militia. Their bodies a lump of muscles, the ogres.
Aren't these the self-proclaimed rulers of the forest? They look exactly as Rigurdo has described.
So, what are they afraid of, some demon? What's with that? Scary!
A bit bewildered, I plan my escape.
I check behind me, but don't feel any presence. No heat signatures either.
So the ogres can see it but I can't! This might be bad...
Just when I thought I had gained new abilities... I guess I am still far from true strength.
Ku, a demon? What kind? My bad, but I don't see it... where is it now?
While on my guard, I begin to make retreat to ogre's side.
But they still haven't responded to my question.
Moreover, they are keeping distance from me.
What? Are they planning on using me as a bait?
The moment I thought so,
What are you saying? The wicked demon is none other than you, slime! You have not fooled our eyes!!!
One of the ogres called out.
Wha... what?
To call such an adorable slime a wicked demon? That's not a nice thing to say!
Oi. Oi! Wait a second. I am a the wicked demon?
Are you trying to play dumb? That aura unbefitting of a slime! Did you think you'd fool someone?!
Hmm? Oh... I was enjoying freaking out the cave's monsters too much and kept it open, huh.
So I quickly pull back the aura. And,
I don't have anything like that! You must've imagined it!
»»»»»»»»»
Of course, I couldn't fool them.
But, after insisting that it was just a misunderstanding for a while, I somehow managed to have them lower their guard.
Oh, boy...
In the first place, why are they even here?
When I so asked, they told me that they had escaped here.
Looking closely, there are many injured, with some gravely so.
A normal monster would have died by now.
The only reason they are still standing is surely due to the extremely high vitality of the ogre race.
Still, I proceed to spit out some restorative medicine and treat their wounds.
With their high vitality, even the diluted medicine quickly restores them to perfect health.
While appearing surprised for some reason, they thank me.
Now, although their wounds are healed, they are nonetheless clearly exhausted. So I decided to have them rest at my village.
After all, I need to find out what had enough power to so decimate the ogres.
They are a B rank monsters; but, from training, they can raise that to B+ or even A-.
The rulers of the forest. The strongest beings around, or so I heard.
In any case, I'll guide them to the village.
Deciding to carry them over there, I summoned Ranga.
When called, he appears from within my shadow. That is, I finally succeeded at summoning him.
My pride simply didn't allow the fact that Gobuta succeeded where I couldn't. Thus, I practiced.
And good thing I had done so"considering the current situation.
There were six ogres.
Mimicking the black wolf, I carried three and left the remaining three to Ranga; thus we returned to the village.
By foot it would have taken more than a day, but at our pace we managed it in under an hour.
As expected of ogres! Unlike the dwarfs who fainted, they were merely impressed with the speed.
Thus, we escorted the ogres to our village, where I invited them to my tent.
Well, in place of the tent stood a log cabin when I arrived.
Looking just like the blueprint I had suggested.
Seems like while I was away practicing my skills, they quickly set it up.
While thanking the dwarfs and goblins, I enter it.
