01x06 - Monster Hunting, with the Slimes

[bunniefuu]

That will do.

What is that for, Ryoma?

The Metal Slime…

is very hard.

I know that it has a strong resistance
to physical attack,

but I want to test its poison resistance.

I see.

That being said,
I'm not going to make it drink poison.

I'll just approach it with poison
and see how it reacts.

Let me start with Poison Slime's venom.

It's okay with the venom.

Next is the Sticky Slime's mucus.

This one is fine as well.

How about the Acid Slime's acid?

Looks like it doesn't like acid.

It's metal,
so maybe it's scared of melting.

It's okay now. The experiment is over.

I'm sorry for scaring you.

It's like clay!

You're right.

Ryoma!

Ryoma!

-Ryoma!
-Ryoma!

Are you ready? It's time to go!

-Let's go!
-Let's go!

Okay!

Right away!

Thank you very much.

Good luck on your monster
extermination quest.

Okay. I'll be going now.

Be careful on your way. Please stay alert.

So far, we have confirmed
that there are Cave Mantises

in the abandoned mine.

This is a Cave Mantis.

There are also Cave Bats.

This is a Cave Bat.

There are Small Rats as well.

This is a Small Rat.

They lack in strength,
but they make up for that in numbers.

So please be careful during your mission.

Really? You've leveled up to Rank F now?

Yes.

I met the requirements

when I finished cleaning
the waste management rooms.

That's impressive, Ryoma!

Why are you the one looking smug?

You can easily advance to Rank E
if you do well in this mission.

That's impressive, Ryoma!

We are in charge of this tunnel here.

Be careful, Asagi and Leipin.

Careless is the only word
that's not in my dictionary.

Ryoma, let's do our best.

Right, let's do our best.

Ryoma, how many Slimes do you have now?

I have 728 Sticky Slimes,

323 Poison Slimes,

211 Acid Slimes,

3,033 Scavenger Slimes,





1 Metal Slime, and 1 Neutral Slime.

That's a total of 4,310 Slimes.

That's a lot of Slimes.

-Isn't that a huge increase in quantity?
-Well, I just let them grow.

I guess you can manage so many Slimes.

That's impressive, Ryoma!

But why are you the one looking so smug?

By the way, Ryoma…

Yes, Welanna?

What's your weapon of choice?

Usually, it's a bow and arrow.

Sometimes, it's a dagger and martial arts.
I also know some attack magic.

Can you focus on attacking
the flying monsters with your magic?

You're the only one in this squad
who knows attack magic.

Sure.

It's not that I don't know any magic,

but beastkin like me
have little magic power.

I don't know any attack magic,
but you can count on my recovery magic.

Speaking of the devil!

Let's begin our monster extermination!

-All right!
-All right!

It doesn't seem like a real fight.

How much of a fight do you expect
from Cave Mantises and Small Rats?

If Jeff finds any monsters challenging,
we'll be in trouble.

All right, cut it out now.
We have to keep moving.

Okay.

What is it?

There are Cave Bats right ahead.

The whole space is filled with them.

Can you sense that too?

I've lived in the forest for three years,
so I'm sensitive to movement.

There are so many Cave Bats. This is bad!

If only we could k*ll them all
in one blow.

Can I do a little experiment?

Experiment?

If it works, we can k*ll them all at once.

What is your plan?

I'm going to use Sound b*mb.

Sound b*mb?

I've never heard of that spell before.

What kind of spell is that?

Instead of explaining it,
I'll demonstrate.

First, I'm going
to cast Sound Barrier on you.

Sound Barrier!

Isn't this barrier magic?
What are you trying to do?

Next…

Sound b*mb!

Done. Let's go in.

It seems to have worked.

I see, you knocked them out
with loud volume.

Sound b*mb indeed.

Well done!

That's impressive, Ryoma!

Why are you…

Forget it. I can't be bothered.

Okay, Big Sticky Slimes!

Cancel shrinking!

They're huge!

They look really intimidating.

Cancel merging!

They eat so much!

They'll probably keep increasing.

And so, we continued
with our mission smoothly.

We left for a short break
in the afternoon.

The air is so fresh outside!

What are you talking about?

What happened?

Gather up! It's urgent!

A squad encountered Goblins
deep in a tunnel and got hurt.

Goblins…

This is a Goblin.

According to a witness,
it's a village of over 500 Goblins.

This is really tricky.

If we don't defeat them,
they'll keep growing.

We'll have to come up with countermeasures
against the Goblins.

A Goblin village was found
deep in a tunnel.

To attack these Goblins,

we need adventurers to block all tunnels

before launching the attack.

Dig a deep pit using Earth magic
and fill it with the acid of Acid Slimes.

Dissolve them all in one go.

If some make it across the pit,

hit them with attack magic
or arrows with Poison Slime venom.

There are still many left!

-Okay!
-Okay!

All the adventurers
fought the Goblins together.

This is way more than 500 Goblins!

There are at least 1,000 of them!

There's no end to this.

Arrow…

Damn, there are too many of them.
I'm almost out of arrows!

How many of them are there?

The Acid Slimes
are gradually slowing down.

I can heal you right away.

Are these Healing Slimes?

I've studied monsters for some time now,
but this is the first time I've seen them.

I'll get him out.

Warp!

There are too many of them!

This is…

Not good.

Everyone!

I'll hold the Goblins off.

Ryoma!

Follow me, everyone!

I'm going to use Sound b*mb!

Everyone, back off!

It's going to be loud!

Hurry up!

-Guild Master, hurry!
-Okay.

Cover your ears, everyone!

Sound Barrier.

Sound b*mb!

Use everything you've learned
on the Goblins!

Slimes can even use weapons?

That kid…

Everyone, strike now!

Keep up with Ryoma!

Yes!

The Slimes!

Thank you!

Is this all of them?

That was about 2,000 Goblins.

You better make it worth our while.

I know.

What's that?

Is that their commander?

It's the Goblin Commander.

It's not alone.

Those are Hobgoblins.

There are still so many!

Commander…

Let's go, Slimes!

If an elephant steps on it, will it bend?

-It's still eating.
-You'll become fat.

I can't deal with round things!

It's basically all cleaned up.

No Goblins got away either.

All casualties have been transferred.

All right, we should retreat as well.

One moment, please.

Can you come to me?

-What is it?
-What's wrong?

Cleaner Slimes, thanks.

Go ahead.

Wait, this tickles!

This is…

All the Goblin stains.

I'm clean now.

No way.

Goblin stains were supposed to be
the world's toughest stains.

I was going to throw everything away
because of the stains and the smell.

Who knew that…

I didn't know such Slimes existed.

This is astounding to me.

That's impressive, Ryoma!

You can make a lot of money
if you open up a laundromat!

This is amazing!

What is it, Leipin?

Your Healing Slimes
have learned High Heal!

High Heal?

This is another unexpected progress.

Yes, it has helped with adding
lots of healing effects.

The healing has gone very well
thanks to that.

That's great…

Thank you very much for your help!

Are you the one in charge of the Slimes?
You're amazing!

If it weren't for the Slimes,
we might have lost!

Healing Slimes saved my little brother.
Thank you very much!

You're welcome. I'm happy you're all safe.

He's just a child,
but he's already a great adventurer.

That's right.

Everyone, thank you for your hard work!

The presence of the Goblin Commander
made the mission a lot more difficult.

And of course, in return,
you will be rewarded handsomely.

Well done, all of you.
Have a good rest now.

Do Healing Slimes eat the same things
as regular Slimes?

They only drink water.

Really?

Is that enough for them to survive?

They produce the nutrients they need
through photosynthesis and sunbathing.

Just like plants.

I see. Such monsters actually exist.

Are Healing Slimes strong?

They are very weak.
Maybe even weaker than Neutral Slimes.

-That is weak.
-That is weak.

That's why Healing Slimes are rare.

Even if they're born,
their chances of survival are very low.

I see.

I'm not an expert in familiar magic,

but I've heard that
the more familiars you own,

the harder it is to manage them.

You can control so many Slimes.

The Tamer's Guild should give you
some form of recognition.

I just joined.
I don't deserve recognition.

Besides, I heard that the Tamer's Guild
doesn't recognize Slimes.

Because they are just Slimes,

many people assume
they are useless or worthless.

Really?

I'm not smart, but even I can see
that Ryoma is outstanding.

There aren't many without such prejudice.
One day, he'll be recognized.

Leave it to me.

You should get some rest, Jeff.

I'm fine. Why don't you get some rest?

You must be exhausted.

Right, I didn't expect
that there would be so many Goblins.

Usually, you need a lot of preparation
for this kind of mission.

I see. That's true.

It's going to be a while.
You can get some rest.

Okay. Thank you.

It's so nice to be in this world.

Everybody is kind…

unlike people on Earth.

But I'm still the same person I was
back on Earth.

I hated socializing in my previous life,

which is why I decided
to live in the forest.

If Reinhart hadn't shown up,
I would've never left the forest.

He took me with him on his journey
and provided food and shelter for me.

He's been taking good care of me.

He makes me feel comfortable.

I feel like I owe him.

Is it all right for me
to accept such kindness

from the Duke's family?

See you, Ryoma!

It's been a tough day. Good night.

You'll make a lot of money
if you open up a laundromat!

A laundromat?

Two thousand Goblins?

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Luckily, nobody died.
We also eliminated the enemies.

That's good to hear.

I believe most of the monsters in the mine
have been exterminated.

Thank you very much, Ryoma.

There's something else I want to tell you.

What's wrong, Ryoma?

Elia…

Go on.

I've decided…

what I'm going to do.

You have all been nice to me,
and I'm very grateful.

But…

I'd like to leave
and make a living on my own.
