Perhaps they had something to do with slimes. There was something about it that felt similar to them.
âŚI would have to ask.
ââŚHey, so, whatâs the relationship between you and Slibird?â
âUh⌠Slibird is our friend!â
âYes! He carries us as he flies high into the sky!â
âThe slimes tell me where I can hide when it is raining!â
I see.
So they helped each other.
âŚThis seemed like a good monster to tame.
A flying monster that could work together with the slimes. It was very ideal.
âBut we hadnât seen you for so long!â
âWe rarely see Slibird!â
Apparently, he had made himself scarce recently. So we were quite lucky to find him today.
He wasnât big enough to draw attention, and no one would look at him strangely if you said he was a pet.
I could probably take him into the guild with me.
âSlibird, give me a ride! A ride!â
So saying, the slimes tried to get on his back.
âŚIn spite of the fact that Slibird had been dying from poison a second agoâŚ
âHey, this bird was just dyingâŚâ
âOkay!â
Before I could stop them, Slibird opened his wings and took off from the ground.
And then in the next instant, he swooped down back to the groundâŚand with his claws, picked up a slime and rose into the air again.
âYay!â
âSo thatâs how he carries themâŚâ
âŚIt looked like he was hunting for prey.
In spite of appearances, Slibird was pretty agile.
And he had pretty good speed as well.
ButâŚ
âAhhh! Thereâs a monster!â
âYuji! Save us!â
So saying, the slime and Slibird returned frantically.
Apparently, Slibird and the slimes had another thing in common. A lack of cautiousness.
ActuallyâŚthey basically had the same personality, I think.
Well, since he would be flying with themâŚit was probably a good thing.
And though the slimes appeared to lack caution, they never really made any fatal mistakes.
âMagic Transfer â Area Freeze: Medium.â
I froze the monster that was chasing Slibird and helped the slimes.
And then Slibird landed in front of me while still holding the slime.
âOhhh! It froze!â
âYeah. âŚIâll protect you if youâre ever attacked while flying. So donât worry.â
âOkay!â
And then I cast several strengthening spells on Slibird.
Unlike Proud Wolf, he wasnât strong enough to carry me, but now he would be able to carry all of the slimes while they were combined.
So for now, the slime transportation problem had been solved.
As I was thinking about thisâŚI heard the slimes talking.
âYuji! Food!â
âWe should trade places soon!â
It seemed that the time had come for them to trade places. And it was rather perfect timing.
While Slibird had only just been healedâŚhe seemed to be in pretty good condition.
After all, the combination of Cure Poison and High Heal had been enough to heal a human completely from carbon monoxide poisoning.
So damage from Cockatrice poison would also heal quickly.
âSlibird, sorry to ask you so soonâŚbut, can you fly? I want to send some slimes to trade places with the ones in Ordarion. And I want to carry meat at the same time⌠The slimes will carry the meat, so you just need to carry the slimes.â
âCan I eat the meat too?â
AhhâŚ
Even his thought patterns were like the slimes
