Chapter 6 - Chapter 5: Chat With A Slime

'Glasses' is a calm and slow to anger person. He would give you advice you didn't want on life and the future and stuff most people (or, just me) don't think about. I've never got the chance to introduce 'Glasses' to the beauty of killing slimes, but now I do.

"Huh?!" Glasses's confusion was pasted all over his face.

"You saved me from a life that wasn't as thrilling. You opened my eyes to a new light," I began. "If it wasn't for you, I would probably be on some epic adventure killing some OP Dragon Lord. Now I'm here killing slimes. I truly thank you from saving me from that unfitting life."

"I don't know what did I do?!" Glasses said while scratching his head, "Maybe you're hallucinating from the slime you accidentally drank."

"These words are no hallucinations. They are true. I didn't drink the slime in that bottle. I was just keeping it for my collection. Well, maybe I took a few swigs but not enough to kill me. I just want you to understand you made me a slime hunter and I thank you for that."

I didn't want my long-awaited meeting with Glasses to be ruined. I waited a long time to thank him and see if he thinks I'm weird. He won't understand – or want to understand – the joy of killing slimes.

"You are weird,"Glasses said while looking me in the eyes, "No, something definitely weird is going on with you. I will have to use my Paralysis skill on the monster within you in order to maintain your mind. I don't know if you could survive a monster within you or a Paralysis skill, but it's the only option here. Otherwise, you could die a horrible death. Don't move!"

"NOOO! Listen before you use the skill! I---"

"PARALYSIS!!" A light came from Glasses's hands as the skill was completed.

[Pet is afflicted with a Critical Status (Paralysis)]

[5/20 Paralysis Skill Learned. 6/10 Paralysis Resistance Learned.]

I wasn't able to stop Glasses from canceling the skill. He used it on the baby slime within me and it caused some damage from the second attack(?). Not only am I weak, my little slime buddy is as well. ('is as well' doesn't sound right, but I'm bad with my tenses so I'll leave that to your judgment.) The cute one is tiny and would not be able to handle a third attack. I wouldn't even be able handle the first two if it wasn't for my Absorption skill. Sadly, I wasn't able to get the Paralysis resistance skill just yet.

"If you can hear me right now, don't try to channel your internal energy! It is very dangerous if you try to control your energy in your current paralyzed state!"

Glasses kept on talking, but I already tuned him out. He was giving me instructions that were basically useless since I already knew them. I'm just trying to figure out why little slime hates me so much and why are they putting me through all this trouble. They were "excited" when I killed the village. They were "happy" that I trapped them on my head. And most of all they would always shake in "anticipation" all the time. Wait! Why are there quotations around the words excited, happy, and anticipation?

*User is very unintelligent. You've learned Slime Communication skill so you can search your memories for the answer.*

Mr. System was right, I knew how to speak cute slime's language and could understand what they meant by their weird shaking in the past. The first time they shook was when I found them in the cave. They said something like-

"This man killed my father. I am very sad. One day I will kill this man and teach him how to fear slimes."

Wooah!! Why was the cute one so evil. Is that what they were thinking when they wrapped themselves around my leg. Here I was thinking I found the cutest and smartest slime in the world and it turned out that they hated me. Their sentences are incomplete and bland, maybe because slimes are all dumb. I don't word my sentences like that at all. Really I don't.

...

Little did I know that I put the one thing that wanted to kill me, in my body. Maybe they aren't that bad anymore and learned of my kindness and wanted to be nicer later on. I'm still curious to find out what they were saying every time they shook. I looked into my memories to try and decipher more shakings.

Me-"Are you a boy or a girl?"

"I'm a slime."

Me-"I'm gonna assume your gender if you don't tell me!"

"I'm a slime I promise."

I didn't know Slime was a gender. I need to go back and do more research later. It seems they can understand what I say in Human Language, but can only reply in the language of Slimes. Let's see what else it was saying.

-Approaching the Slime Village-

"Watch Out an evil man has come to kill you. For no apparent Reason."

Me-"What's up with you?"

"Don't kill my family. All slimes in this forest are very precious and their lives matter!"

Me-"Don't worry I'll kill them all."

"NOOO!! NO DON'T DO THIS, PLEASE DON'T DO THIS! THEY DID NOTHING TO YOU AT ALL PLE-"

I don't remember shoving them back onto my head like that, and shutting them up. I thought I was doing a good deed by killing the slime village and I thought they were asking me to do the same. Gosh! I screwed up my first impression in front of the slime.

"PLEASE SAVE US SLIME GRANDMASTER WHY ARE YOU PUNISHING US!!!"

After I finished killing them all, the little slime was sad. I recognized this before, but I thought they were sad for different reasons. I feel like a horrible person. They also didn't like it when I put them on my head. When they were on my head most of their movements were prayers. Maybe I'm a defendant of the slime grandmaster with the purpose of wiping out all slimes except for this little one. Maybe this slime is in charge of repopulating the world with slimes.

{You Are Correct. The Slimes Have Stop Offering Their Respect To Me And I Decided To Spare The One Slime Who Still Did. Please Brutally Kill All The Slimes And I Will Offer You… SLIME SENSATION!!!}

WAAAH! Is that you Slime Master!

{YES!}

The Great Slime Grandmaster voice was so elegant and beautiful. I don't know why I wasn't able to hear him speak before, but now I had the chance to ask him questions.

{You Can Ask Me Three Questions Before I Go.}

NOO! Only three questions. Oh I have an idea. I'll ask him one now and save the others for later!! Slime Master, Oh Great Slime did you give me the gift of the Slime Hunter System.

{No! The Rule Of This World Allows Anyone Who Waste Their Life Killing The Same Monster Repeatedly Gains A System.}

I didn't waste my life! Slimes were worth it and I don't regret it at all! I would be wasting my life if I went out and killed other monsters. I'm so glad I took the path of annihilating the squishy monsters and no matter what happens I will never ever change my ways!

The Slime Grandmaster didn't respond so I waited until I could feel my body again. No wonder kids are afraid of the doctor. I was able to return back to normal much quicker than last time. Probably a couple of minutes. Glasses saw that I was moving and said-

"Are you okay. You survived so you should've restored your mental state."

"Yeah. I don't feel anything. What happened?" I decided to lie. I wouldn't be able to last a whole chapter being in this room.

"You probably accidentally drank some slime. Slimes around the River of Swog are poisonous if they are ingested. I don't know of the effects, but you were suffering from them." Glasses explained some stuff I already knew and even said he didn't know the effects even though he was the doctor.

"The poison causes death." I guess that was the simplest way to explain it to him. Hopefully he understands.

"Well, yeah I know that. You don't know what your talking about, if you did you wouldn't be in this situation," Glasses was always trying to be the smart one. What he didn't know is that I would be willing to drink slime liquids if it meant reaching Slime Heaven.

"Well, what if I wanted to die?"

"..."

"Yeah that's what I thought!"

I got up and began to leave. This was probably the first time I was cool. Glasses was confused and didn't stop me from leaving the room. I left the church or whatever building I was in and returned home. Glasses is such a stupid person. Slimes are waayy smarter than him!

When I returned home I went straight into my bedroom. I was greeted by the Bottles! Bottles of Slime! I wasn't able to keep the slime I put in my drinking bottle, but I had a slime specimen in my body. I'm able to speak the Slime language and I want to make things up with the slime as well as giving the little slime a name.

I opened my body using the Organ Manipulation Skill. I then let the little slime escape on its on. Big! The slime has gotten bigger, but their original cute face remained. The slime also remained green and didn't turn black or anything like that.

Me-"I'm sorry that I killed those slimes back then. I didn't understand what you were saying."

Slime-"..."

Me-"You can't pull that trick with me! I can speak your little language now"

Slime-"Why? Did you kill my Father."

Me-"...The story is quite embarrassing so I don't want to tell you."

Slime-"If you can't tell me. I can't forgive you."

Me-"Fine! I'll tell you just don't laugh."

Slime-"How can I laugh? My father just died and slimes cannot express joy."

Me-"I guess you're right."

After that I told them the story of the Great Slime battle that I had in their birth cave. I'm not telling you because I don't want you bullying me or talking behind my back. I'm going to leave you clueless and you are going to wonder if some mystical being couldn't come up with a story or whatever.

Slime-"Oh so you killed my father because-

Me-"Quiet down I don't want them to know!"

Slime-"Who?"

Me-"Just tell if you're going to forgive me or not."

Slime-"Well I didn't know that my father...Was bad."

Me-"I'm also sorry for killing a whole village of slimes in front of you or saying things like I want Slime Sensation. It may sound weird, but killing you guys feels great!"

Slime-"Why didn't you kill me?"

Me-"Because I didn't want to kill the only cute slime in existence!"

Slime-"You are going to be punished by the Slime Grandmaster for killing slimes for satisfaction. You know that. Right?"

Me-"Well actually. Slimes were not giving respect unto the Slime Grandmaster and-"

Slime-"Why!? Why would the slimes not respect their only ruler. I always respected him. Even since birth"

Me-"The Great Slime Spoke to me-"

Slime-"This is the first time anyone has ever heard the Slime Master other than a slime. You must be the Human Slime Messenger!"

Me-"What do you mea-"

Slime-"The Human Slime Messenger. Is a Person who was. Destined to Kill Slimes. Authorized by the Slime Master himself."

Me-"Can you stop interrupting me! At least let me finish my sente-"

Slime-"I can't believe the Human Slime Messenger. Was just a lousy guy like you!"

Me-"I'm tired of talking to you, you always interru-

Slime-"Now I'm stUCK having to travel with a lousy hum-"

Me-"I'm not lousy! HA HOW DO YOU LIKE IT!"

Slime-"...Not very much."

Me-"That's what I thought. Since you understand why I kill slimes and why I spare you...can we be friends."

Slime-"Not friends. Forced Companions."

Me-"YEAAH! I got my first friend. I will be able to finally hunt slimes with someone other than myself AND with their consent!"

Slime-"I'm still not okay. With killing slimes."

Me-"Once you learn of Slime Sensation, the greatest feeling in the world, then you will understand."

Slime-"Please don't say such obscene things."

Me-"Okay"

My relationship with the slime has rapidly improved. Even if it was thanks to the Great Slime it is still an improved relationship. If all conversations could go like this I would have all the friends right now! I decided not to force the slime to do anything because I could using the Pet Function. I decided It was best to keep the little slime in my house and become more friendly with them. Then I would take them outside to hunt slimes or whatever so we can get stronger. Which reminds me. I have some slimes to kill.

Me-"I'm leaving!"

Slime-"Am I going back. Inside of you!"

Me-"I won't put you back in my body ever again. Feel free to absorb all my bottles of slime as well, I won't be needing them since you are here."

Slime-"Ew. I don't absorb other slimes. That's weird."

Me-"I thought you like doing that kind of thing. It's like mating or whatever."

Slime-"I don't want to talk. About it. Just go."

I left and went to the Quaking Fields. Not only am I specialized at the slashing of slimes. I'm also the master of trapping the slimes. I can dig holes very fast and my traps are very effective. Since I make my traps around the pool in the Quaking Fields I can't go to the River of Swog.

It took me awhile to get there and all I could think about was the feeling I would get from killing the slimes. When I arrived at the fields I wiped the drool of my face and headed towards the pond.

Ahh! The pond of the slimes. I only saw it in the distance, but I wanted to get closer so I could have a better view. I approached the pond and checked my traps. I wasn't happy with what I saw. All the slimes had fused and formed a mega slime! It was like they were waiting for me because as soon as I peeked in the hole they-

SLOOOSSSHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
