“Oh my god.”

Peria, who saw this, became tearful and got angry at Aila.

“Why eat that! You have to find it again! There might not be one!”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I was wondering what you were talking about and it turned out to be honey slimes? There are a lot of these in my neighborhood. Since it is near the plant Aplesia, there must be a few of them.”

Aila said that and then went here and there and quickly found a place where there were transparent slimes.

“Originally, there are two types of slimes that live here: blood slimes that eat corpses from under these flowers, and transparent slimes that move honey and pollen.”

Eila’s explanation was different from what we heard from Morsling.

‘It was not one, but two entities.’

“Huh? what. Then it’s not a newborn slime?”

“Yes. These are honey slimes. It seems that humans classify slime by type, but the truth is different. Depending on what you eat first, the food you eat for the rest of your life is determined, but there is a slime in each house that is in a state where it has not eaten anything before that decision is made. Take it out from there and increase the number.”

‘What kind of hen is it? ‘There are all of them.’

According to the elf Eila, slimes have a more amazing ecology than we thought.

The research that Morsling worked on is only a piece of information that has not been seen in its entirety, and when he hears about this, he may become more active in wanting to do the research again.

And Peria also heard the story from Aila and realized that the slime she was looking for was the hen-like slime that Aila had mentioned, so she added a condition to the transaction that was not yet completed.

“Then, can I bring you some of that newborn slime? I’ll give you my hair.”

“Sure. So shall we meet here in 4 days?”

“Yes. It’s nice that the elf sister is kind.”

Peria now completely let down her defensive posture and followed Aila.

Well, if they are this friendly, it would be even more strange to refuse them. Aila has a very refreshing personality.

After completing the transaction, Peria picked up a piece of transparent slime and sucked it like Eila. She rolled up her sleeves to see if it was delicious.

“Then I guess I should take the remaining slimes. It’s delicious. I have to take it and share it.”

Peria just picked up the shovel and started scooping up all the slime from the places Aila told her about and putting it into her bag.

When I saw that, I briefly thought about eating the slime, but I didn’t have the courage to see the slime moving slowly to escape even when it was standing on my hand.

So I asked Peria instead.

“What on earth does it taste like?”

“You’ll know right away when you try it, right?”

“No, that’s… there’s something called squeamishness. Please tell me instead.”

“Um… what should I say? It’s sweet… Ah! The moment you eat it, does it feel like sugar is moving around in your body instead of blood?”

“Isn’t that just a symptom of diabetes?”

“So, rather than a taste in your mouth, it’s a feeling of your whole body becoming cool and sweet.”

“When you say that, it seems like the slime wasn’t even digested and just spread through your blood vessels. It’s gross, I don’t want to eat it.”

“What do you say? He asked me to tell him, so I told him, and if he doesn’t want to eat it, he’ll give it to me. Because I’m going to put it in.”

After that, Peria catches all the other transparent slimes she can see, including the slime in my hand. It’s almost at the level of overfishing.

In the meantime, Aila completely shook off the debris from her cloak, prepared to move again, and greeted me.

“Then Lee Rim. See you later. Now that I’ve finished my mission, I have to come back.”

“Of course. Thank you. Because it’s important to Peria.”

“Well, the thing overflowing is slime. Oh, and where does Lee Rim live?”

“Me? It’s a village to the south from here. But why?”

‘Why am I suddenly curious about that?’

“I’ve been thinking about it for a while, and in addition to the human hair over there, I need to get Irim’s hair, but Irim keeps dying. At that time, they said that I would be given a vacation for a while after this job was over. So, in order to watch the humans I haven’t been able to see for a while, I would like to have Lee Rim by my side and teach me how to fight.”

“Really? Well, that’s good for me.”

Aila said that she gave me an unexpected favor other than Peria.

‘An elf swordsman personally teaches me how to fight. ‘This is my first time hearing something like this.’

It’s a good thing for me, but I have one thing to worry about.

“But how are you going to get there? The elves are our enemies, so they will try to catch us before we even enter the city.”

“It’s okay. There is a way.”

After saying that, Eila begins to recite the spell.

Wolf, don’t show your teeth in the dark.

Blend quietly and smile in the crowd of your prey.

Then there will come a time of opportunity when even the moonlight disappears.

-Mimi Cry.

‘The spell is incredibly creepy.’

After shouting the spell, Aila stroked her ear and spread her arms towards me.

“Ta-da! It’s over!”

“Where are you looking?”

To me, the long ears, unlike humans, are still visible.

“I memorized the spell in front of Lee Rim, so it didn’t work on Lee Rim. Would you like to call that girl over there?”

“Feria. Look over here.”

When I followed Eila’s words and called Peria, Peria was surprised to see that Eila’s ears looked different.

“Huh? Huh? what. Your ears have become the same as ours?”

“Oh, that was it.”

Maybe he looks like an ordinary person to other people who haven’t seen him in person.

The only difference between elves and humans is that elves tend to be beautiful on average and have long ears, so although they may attract some attention, there is no need to worry about being caught with ears like that.

“Ah, but I can feel my ears in the air. that’s interesting. This is the magic of the elves that I only heard about.”

Peria touches Eila’s ear. However, it seems as if it is invisible to the eye, so my hand goes astray once in a while.

“If you have this, you can move around without any worries even among humans. When it’s time for vacation, there are many sisters who use this to go to places where humans live and rest. The place we live is so quiet. It’s not fun.”

It’s a casual story, but it’s also a creepier story than you might think.

It means that the elves, who are hostile to each other, are casually walking among the humans.

“Am I doing something like a spy with that?”

I’m asking just in case.

“We don’t really care about humans, so we don’t really care? The reason they attack humans is because they keep coming into the forest to cut down trees, so they attack once in a while to give a loud warning. Although we occasionally attack, we don’t come to your village to kill everyone.”

‘Then that’s a relief.’

To be honest, I doubt whether I should believe it, but even if it is a lie, there is no way to stop it.

And I’ve never heard of an elf coming into the city and killing anyone, so I don’t think I need to worry about it.

Ayla tightened the laces on her slightly loose boots and made preparations to leave before making an appointment.

“Then, see you here in 4 days. No, there is no need for that. Anyway, both of our business here is over. I’ll go to your village.”

“Sure. So, if you come in through the north gate, there is a square at the intersection, right? See you there.”

“Yes. Then do that and I will go first. Hello pretty girl~!”

“Goodbye, elf sister. Don’t forget the slime.”

Eila pulls out a rather large tooth from the wreckage of Aplesia and walks back in the direction she first saw it.

“Are you done? Now let’s go back too.”

“Yes. Now put this in your bag.”

Before I knew it, Peria was full, so I tied the squishy bag tightly and put it in the bag.

“Shall we go now? Oh right. I need to try this.”

As I was thinking of heading back quickly, I remembered the medicine Morsling had entrusted me with and took it out.

“The medicine that guy made? Honestly, I look anxious.”

“What do you think? I already promised to try it out, so what’s the big deal?”

When I opened the cap of the syringe, which looked like a ballpoint pen, a needle came out.

I thought it was just the name because it was called a syringe, but it looks exactly like a real syringe needle.

I thought it was fascinating, but Peria told me the truth.

“This is made from the snout of a wetland mosquito. They stick it in your head and suck out your brain fluid. Ugh. It’s creepy.”

“Hey Mr. Lee, why did you tell me that? Suddenly I feel dirtier.”

I found out information I didn’t really want to know.

“Actually, I told you on purpose to make you feel that way. And you don’t know any of this common sense, but I, the smart one, should tell you.”

“Damn… I’ll try it anyway.”

Feeling uncomfortable, I stick the syringe into my arm.

Chak-

“How about it? What do you feel?”

“Okay. I’m not sure… ah.”

After administering the medicine, the two of them started walking together, and their bodies began to feel incredibly energized.

Somehow, unfounded confidence.

The will to be fulfilled.

Now I feel like I can do things I couldn’t normally do.

“Wow!”

Like Peria did earlier, do a somersault in place and land on one arm.

“Wow! Is that it? Is it huge? Although it’s worse than me.”

“Heh. Look carefully. It doesn’t end here.”

Peria is surprised, but I am confident that my strength will not end here. So I thought, let’s do something even greater.

“sum!”

The moment I jumped up again with one arm, this time trying to support myself with three fingers-

Pop!

The finger came out with a sound.

“Quick! Oppa’s fingers! It’s broken! finger! I must be crazy. Could that be possible?”

“Oh, it’s broken.”

Three fingers were completely bent back. My physical ability has improved, but there seems to be a limit.

Still, I don’t feel any pain, but I think it might be more useful than I thought.

Rather, the broken finger feels like it’s not a big deal because the positive feeling continues.

“Are you okay? Doesn’t it hurt?”

Feria comes over and cares about my fingers.

“Yes. It has a pain-relieving effect. This is good, but I need to ask for some.”

“Really? Well then, let’s put it back since it’s ugly.”

Okay!

Peria turns her finger, which was bent in the opposite direction, to the correct position, but a strange sound is heard.

The finger was restored to its original horizontal position.

“…If I go to the resuscitation center, it will be okay, right?”

“Maybe? It’s okay, so let’s go back quickly. Get on my shoulder.”

Peria looked up at me cautiously, her eyes filled with apology, but she didn’t feel anything.

Rather, there is no pain and it feels like my body is flying.

At this moment, I just keep boiling over in the thought that I can accomplish anything.

Rather, he tells you to get on the Feria.

“Really? No need to drop it off later? And it really doesn’t hurt, right?”

“No problem.”

“Why is your tone like this again? Anyway, is it going up?”

Ride a feria on top of the bag and make a thirsty horse.

However, my body is so light that I think it would be possible to run to the village like this. No, it is possible. Now I feel strongly that I can do anything.

“Good. Let’s go!”

“Wow wow! Is this really happening? Hahahaha!”

He holds on tightly to the legs of Peria, who is on his shoulder, and runs straight ahead. At this rate, it will likely arrive in less than an hour.
