After a while, the door opened with a clank and a ăPersonă came out.
A girl about fifteen years of age who has a beautifully braided blond hair.
???:Â âAra, with whom am I talking to? Itâs very rare for people to come here.â
I got surprised that the girl said so.
Thatâs because I thought that a slime would show up instead of a person.
Azusa: âUmm⊠is this the wizard slimeâs workshopâŠ?â
Itâs not in a popular place so itâs not strange that other wizards have a workshop like this as well.
???:Â âAah, I see, I see. I have made all of you confused, yes?â
The girl laughed merrily.
Slime:Â âI am a slime. This is the result of using a transformation magic.â
Azusa:Â âA slime!?â
I doubted my eyes. Thatâs obvious as thereâs no element of slime from her at all.
It seemed that I was not alone. Both Beelzebub and Leica had a face that look like they were tricked by a fox.
Beelzebub: âYou, youâre not trying to deceive us, rightâŠ?â
Slime:Â âThereâs no such thing. I have lived as a slime for about three hundred years, but because it is easier to live in human form, I had been using this form since one hundred and fifty years ago.â
Three hundred years oldâŠ. Itâs almost the same as meâŠ
Azusa: âNow that you mentioned it, I have never heard about a slimeâs life spanâŠâ
I have never seen an old slime nor baby slime, so I donât know about that at all. Farufa and Sharusha are just spirits, so they are an exception.
Slime:Â âMost slimes donât have decent intelligence, so there arenât too many lives and deaths occurred, you see. They split and multiply by themselves which of those, only a few have intelligence just like me.â
Azusa: âI donât have any verification about that as this is my first time hearing it, so I have to believe itâs all true for nowâŠâ
I donât think there would be any benefit for lying to us.
Slime:Â âWell, instead of talking while standing here, please come inside. Though, even if I said that, a slime doesnât have to eat, so I havenât prepared any tea yet and I donât have enough chairs for us to sit down as well.â
We decided to go inside just like what she offered.
Honestly speaking, It was so cold in the mountains so itâs grateful to be inside a room.
â
There was certainly only one chair, hence we let her sit down and decided to stand while talking. The room itself feels like a wizardâs workshop and things like books and stuffs are lined up on a bookshelf.
The room merely has a simple design with only a bookshelf and a table and no toilet nor dining room as those are all unnecessary for slime.
The person called herself as the ăWizard Slimeă.
Similar case with Smalime, it seems that thereâs no concept of proper nouns for slimes.
Slime:Â âThereâs noone who came to visit me, or rather, almost non-existent. They wonât know that a slime who uses magic exists, so thereâs no need for a name, you see.â
I understand what sheâs trying to say, but itâs better to have a name here, right?
Azusa: âOkay then, a short version of wizard slime, wizlime⊠alright, I will call you Wizlime.â
It may be not a great sense of naming but itâs probably still in her permissible range.
Wizlime:Â âI understand. Well then, please call me Wizlime. So, whatâs everyone purpose for coming here?â
Wizlime glanced at Farufa.
Wizlime âThough, I know that itâs related to that slime.â
Thatâs right. Thatâs exactly right.
I told her that Farufa, a slime spirit, suddenly became a slime.
Azusa: âăŒThatâs why, Iâm looking for a solution. Do you have something in mind?â
Wizlime: âLetâs see, can you lend me that miss slime?â
I approached to Wizlimeâs side.
As expected, it seems that she can understood what Farufa is trying to say even though her form has changed.
When Wizlime lifted Farufa up, she pressed Farufaâs body thoughtlessly.
Should this be called palpation?
Wizlime:Â âHmmm, I see. The elasticity is completely different compared to an ordinary slime, and you can easily understand that sheâs a special slime, yes?â
Leica:Â âYou could understand even to that part?!â
Leica was surprised.
Wizlime:Â âYes, I know about it as I have been a slime for a long time. To put it bluntly, if you have an ordinary slime at level 1, this miss slime is about level 35. It might be difficult for ordinary adventurers to defeat her.â
If you say like that, I could quite understand it.
Certainly I canât imagine where Farufa and Sharusha could be equal against slimes, and in fact, they can even defeat them with ease.
After that, Wizlime touched Farufa.
Wizlime:Â âAah, I see. I see. So thatâs it, hmmm, that part, huh? So thatâs the problem~â
I canât retort ăWhich part are you talking about!?ă as I think that there are some things that only slime knowsâŠ.
Beelzebub said, ăI have been alive for a long time, but the world is still full of unknown thingsă, so there is no doubt that this is a unique experience for her as well.
In the end, Wizlime had touched Farufa and written some notes on dried large leaves in the past fifteen minutes. It seems to be a substitute for paper.
Wizlime:Â âI got the answer.â
Farufa leaped immediately towards here after Wizlime released Farufa,
I caught her with both of my hands.
Azusa:Â âPlease tell me! Please!â
I will respectfully obey.
Wizlime: âWhy did this miss slime is in her present formăŒăŒăŒis because she has a sprained neck, you see.â
Everyone:Â ââSprained neck!?ââ
Our side let out a surprised voice together and asked her again.
