“Chapter 87: The Top of the Gana Vares and the Secret Room”
I mean, skeletons can talk, and their vocal cords are supposed to be rotten.
But the surprising part is that this slime is speaking human language.
– Ah, forgive me. It’s been quite some time since I’ve interacted with a human. I just felt like teasing you.
– Just a passerby. I came to this castle looking for a little something. Trust me buddy, not a very interesting topic. Who might you be?
He’s already talking as if we’re friends.
He formed a lip-like shape around what seemed to be his head in order to talk.
Apart from the nucleus in the middle of his constitution, he looks just like a translucent human.
– My name is Nagami Takaya. I come from the east-
– Oh my! The east? From Shizuma? That’s so far away! But you don’t seem very strong…
– Uhh… Yeah! I was just born weak.
How does he know so much about the human world? Even I don’t know anything about Akane’s hometown. Well, not that I’ve asked her.
– Hmm. Well, that aside. What you here? From your sleeping clothes, I see you not an intruder.
– I’m a guest of Mumuruu-sa…ma.
I’m very wary of this thing. At the very least I can tell he’s not one of Mumuruu’s servants.
I don’t think I’ll get the full story.
– That impulsive brat? She invited a human?
He doesn’t have eyes, but I can feel him staring at me.
– Huuuh… Hey, Takaya. Do you have a minute?
– Well, I was just wondering around. I got lost after going to the bathroom. I think Mumuruu-sama and Letty will get worried if I’m not back.
– Ah, perfect then! I’ll drop you off while I finish some business.
– Sure. This castle is like my playground.
Who is he? How does he know the castle? Why does he refer to Mumuruu as a kid?
Well, I’ll be lost without him, so I might as well follow him.
– Great! Although we’re almost at our destination.
The slime crossed to the other side of the room and ever so slightly opened the right door.
He then slammed it close immediately.
– Don’t worry, Takaya. I can’t leave the castle anyways.
Both of our bodies were engulfed by the light.
Next thing I know, I was greeted with a sight I didn’t expect.
The small room was decorated with a pile of papers on a desk, a rug stained with ink, and shelves in every direction.
– Well, well. It’s the first time I’ve had a guest, instead of an intruder. I felt like asking for your opinion.
The slime grabbed a bunch of papers and handed them to me.
Just by reading the title I was amazed.
This book… It has drawings, speech bubbles, panels…
Just like the ones I read in my previous world.
– Take a look. You think they’d sell well in the human world?
What in the world is this person?
