Chapter 2 - Slime

Isobe Yoshito is in a daze as he slowly opens his eyes and looks around. Approximately, 200 metres around him were destroyed because of the crash and further beyond are forest areas. The trees are as tall as buildings and bigger than any trees he has seen before.

Isobe Yoshito groans in pain but finds out that he does not have any injuries on his body except his clothes getting dirty from all the dirt and sand. Furthermore, he is surprised to find out he feels stronger "Huh, that's odd, I feel like I am an athletic person".

At that moment, Isobe Yoshito is interested to find out what has happened to make him fall to the ground that far. He then walks around to scout and sees a lot of weird-looking dead animals he has not seen before. He took a closer look and thought "What are you…? Did you die because of me? And why are there a lot of you?".

Soon after something shines inside the chest of the creature, Isobe Yoshito feels disgusted to touch the inside. He took a deep breath to calm himself and dig inside the creature. The moment he puts his hand inside, his hands felt wet, slimy, sticky and smelled horrible, Isobe Yoshito almost puked from these feelings. Without delaying any time he quickly grabs something that is as hard as a stone. Isobe Yoshito has no idea what that is but it is very shiny and then keeps it inside his pocket. Before continuing his journey, Isobe Yoshito feels sad to know he killed a creature. Isobe Yoshito had never killed anything throughout his life so the loss of a single life is very sad for him.

He teared up without noticing. His tears fall on the ground drip by drip. Isobe Yoshito wipes his tears and continues heading towards the forest to scout. "Forgive me, unknown creature…" is what he has in mind.

Not long after, Isobe Yoshito got lost in the forest. "ARGH, I have never been to the forest before! I wish I had watched those survival tv shows to help me survive…everything looks the same here" as he starts to regret his life. While he was regretting, he picked up a sound of water splashing "I may not know the sound of the river but I do know the sound of water splashing when I bathe!" he shouts happily.

He runs and runs and then trips on something. "Urgh, speak of bad luck… why did I have to trip on something". As he groans he looks back to see what he had tripped on and by surprise he encounters a blue creature that looks round and smooth to touch. Isobe Yoshito, who does not know anything about fantasy, encountered a slime.

As he is being confused, the slime approached his right foot and started to consume his shoe bit by bit. "What are you doing little guy? How are you even alive?" his right foot then started being wrapped by the slime. "Wait… why are you eating my shoe? Don't tell me you are hungry?" With this in mind, he takes off his right shoe and gives it to the slime. He was happy to see the slimes eating his shoe peacefully.

He stands up slowly so as to not disturb the slime while it is eating and then the slime jumps on his head making him surprised. "Woah! You surprised me… do you want to follow me?". The slime wiggles to his question. "Uhh, I will take that as a yes? Alright then, because you are jiggly like a jellyfish, I will call you Jiggles". The slime wiggled again and a shining light surrounded it.

Isobe Yoshito then hears a voice saying "The slime will now be called Jiggles and will serve under Isobe Yoshito". Isobe Yoshito was shocked by the sudden voice "Slime? Jiggles, did you hear that voice?" he asks Jiggles. Jiggles melt a little as if saying it does not know what voice he meant. Isobe Yoshito sighed because he knew too little about what was happening. "Well, no point in thinking right, Jiggles?". Jiggles nodded and then they both continued their journey.
