Well it seems that Shiro is still trying to break the egg, you know if it's that resistant you should leave it, you don't know what the egg could be... And you don't know if he has parents and they want to come for him... I don't think they'll be very happy that you want to eat him.
Well, after a while while I'm bored, I question myself about my abilities.
What is "great sage" really?
"A skill" He immediately answered despite not being asked directly
Yes, but... what does this whole level thing really mean, what abilities do I have, and more importantly, what can you do?
"The unique skill [Great Sage] is a skill that was simplified for the user, the skills that make up it are:
[Parallel Wills LV1], [Arithmetic Processing LV1], [Appraisal LV1], [Memory LV1] [Detection LV1] [Prediction LV1] [Manas LV1]
The mentioned skills being linked together avoid severe mental strain that they would normally cause"
Ok I don't understand
Great Sage, for example, can you tell me more about that skill called [Appraisal]?
"The user currently has the ability to analyze objects, the skill is level 1 at the moment, but it can be increased by authorizing the Great Sage skill to act independently of the user"
Oh!
To start, I authorize you to collect data
To continue, you can activate the skill [Appreciation]
uhh
I feel the information flowing
Great!
Let's see how I look
[
Inferior to your grandmother
Well, I guess that was to be expected.
And Shiro?
[]
The egg?
Radical
Anyway, today is a relaxing day (or night? I have no idea because there is no sun here), Shiro and I are next to the egg, Shiro tries to wrap the egg with several layers of very tight threads, but nothing happens to him…
Well the thing is that I can't sleep
In general it seems that I don't need to sleep…
I try to spend my time doing random things to get skills
I keep asking Great Sage what some of my skills do, such as Arithmetic Processing
And what is it for?
"It's used for calculations"
God, you're really useful in these cases, Great Sage
Regardless of that, I've developed another skill quite a bit, in fact I've improved it so much that it evolved when I reached level 10 and they granted me a new one
<[Herculean Strength LV 1] acquired.>
Yes, since I had nothing to do I started carrying that big egg around the nest, Shiro decided to ignore it after not being able to break it, so it didn't seem to matter to her, so repeating the same thing for a long time I got the skill [Power LV 1],
It seems that being a Slime has its advantages, I'm currently able to carry objects like the egg and move at normal speed, however...
I'm bored
What can be done in this nest?
Nothing really, after all even though I tried to go out hunting I couldn't really find anything
I wish I could do something…
<<<<<<<>>>>>>>
Mhh?
What's that noise? It's very light…
I quickly moved Shiro who was fast asleep.
Shiro quickly wakes up as soon as I move her
Since I gave her a name I feel like I can superficially understand her thoughts…
And I feel like she can also understand what I think to a certain extent.
He seems to understand with a look that I'm doing something wrong
Our suspicions are confirmed when we hear footsteps…
Human footsteps, and that can only mean something…
They're hunting
I try to reason that they wouldn't necessarily find us, until…
Fire
In panic we observe that the fire begins to consume the initial part of the nest
My instinct now tells me that I must abandon the nest, with just one look at Shiro she seems to understand what I mean too.
Before the fire reaches the center, I pounce on the egg and take it with Shiro through one of the emergency exits.
As we run, the house begins to burn almost completely…
It was Shiro's house, he seemed to like it a lot…
I'm sure that losing his home at the hands of humans affected him a lot…
Well, I'm starting to think differently than before…
It seems that little by little I'm getting used to the thought that I'm not human, that I'm a monster now.
Well, I've decided, I'm going to get stronger so that we never escape from our home again.
Sealing this promise without turning to look at the nest on fire, we walk away with the egg behind me.
