Tensei Shitara Slime Data Ken
Part XV [I offer my sincere apology ~~~~ !!!]
I lowered my head (at least in my heart!)
We're being held at the dwarf gate guard post.
After causing a commotion to that extent, it was rather obvious that I would not be declared innocent and released on the spot.
The dwarf guards came rushing over and immediately surrounded all of us involved.
Although ... my previous 5 opponents were completely eliminated, so I felt like I was the only one stuck in that circle.
That's her! Secretly I have to go back to being slime and …. Escape.
I thought to myself, 'Eureka!'.
But when I returned to my slime form and tried to escape …
Take it!
* Visual explanation
My body was suddenly captured, and then a suspended feeling came to me.
I was so easily caught …
The soldier-san who caught me smiled with a face that said, 'Where do you think you are going?'.
But I could tell from her protruding pulse on her forehead, that she was not happy at all.
[Wai-, I haven't done anything you know! I am a victim in this too!]
I tried to plead just like Gobuta-kun did, but …
[Uh huh. Is that true! Just the same, I'll listen to your story at the guard post! You better not think about escaping!]
He was still wearing that beautiful smile, even as he warned me.
It might be better to just give up …
I suddenly thought, 'What is Gobuta-kun doing right now?', And when I look around …
I saw that even now, his eyes were still closed and his ears were closed.
… that idiot! What's he thinking?
No wait .. he might not think at all. After all, he's a ninny.
While feeling somewhat amazed, I called out to Gobuta-kun.
And this is how we were dragged to the guard post.
The order of how events played out back then!
First, I was forced to fight!
Second, I turned into a wolf!
Third, I howled with a slightly hard volume.
How about that? I can't be blamed, right?
With that in mind, I sneaked a look at soldier-san.
As usual, she still wore that beautiful smile.
His beard perfectly matched his good-natured and healthy appearance.
Too bad ~, if only the veins on his forehead would calm down …
[Uhm ~, why am I coming with you?]
[You fool! What the hell are you saying? Since you were involved in that mess, we were the ones being reprimanded!]
[Eh ?! So that's what happened! I'm so sorry…. I caused many more problems ..].
[Well, it can't help this time, but make sure to be more careful next time it's okay?]
Gee. I think I fooled him. What I am using now is the ultimate skill, “mistakes” !.
* Original text is. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with controlling mistakes, but not entirely sure. If you know what it means, let me know
This is an advanced social technique that you can master only after years of life experience. The trick is not to let the other party suspect you.
It's so hard to use!
* If you're wondering what's achieved, the guard's mood gets a little better, I guess
Be afoot.
In fact, while I jokingly tell how the incident happened, it is mostly quite accurate.
Using the information they obtained from the witnesses, the guards also reached the same conclusion as how I described it.
I felt that their attitude towards me had become more lenient to some extent.
[Now. About the demon wolf. Whatisit?]
The one asking the question is soldier-san who is in charge of the investigation.
What does he mean by what is it?
Species name?
[Let's see, the name of the wolf species is - ..]
[No. I don't need to know the name of the species, or anything like that. Why did such a demon appear in that place? To begin with, where did it come from and where did it go? Talk about everything you know!]
Mm?
Even though I told them I turned into a wolf, they don't seem to believe me?
As a rule, heroes hide the fact that they can change, but I'm not a hero.
That's why I talk openly like a chat box, however …
[No. Now look here, I tell you that I am the one who turned into that wolf!]
[Ha ~. Really, I understand that there is rarely any slime that can talk, but transformation?]
[Wait a minute, then should I show you that I can do it?]
[Hmphc. Well whatever. However, let's say for the sake of argument that the wolf is really you. Why can you change? Aren't you slime?]
Eh?
Faced with such a question, how should I answer?
Honestly replying, 'This is a unique skill!', It would be a foolish move. If I do that, it will put me on the same level as Gobuta-kun.
Think on!
Give a good explanation right now, me !!!
[Honestly ..a witch cursed me. I think it was done out of jealousy for my talent …. Back then, I was a user of illusion magic.]
[Uh huh. Cursed by the magician. And?]
[Well, right. I had learned a number of illusion spells and was fully focused on learning, but an evil witch turned me into slime …
Right now, I am on my way to find a method to break the curse on me .. and rightly so!]
[How did you meet this evil witch? Why were you not killed but cursed?]
Ughh ... would be very good if he took everything with his face value…. Her persistence almost sucks.
Well, I guess that makes sense. If he trusted me just like that, I would consider him no better than a goblin.
And from then on, the seemingly never-ending 2 hours passed.
It was a time of relentless offense and defense (questions and answers) between me and soldier-san.
.
.
.
the passionate exchange of words between the two, has gradually given shape to a story that has never been heard before.
A story about a certain beautiful girl, who was cursed by an evil witch and turned into slime
I didn't mean for it to turn out that way, but in the midst of responding to every single question right soldier-san, I had given birth to a very strange story.
In that story, I was a young girl who was a transformation prodigy and an illusion magic. He is cursed by a witch and is on his way to break the spell, or so …
You may ask, how did this happen?
Every time I mention something strange, warrior-san will mercilessly handle it in the name of cross-examination.
And in the process of improving my story enough to make him say, 'So so!', It's too late …
Me and soldier-san. In the end, we had exchanged looks full of feelings of accomplishment .. even though I had no eyes!
There were no words spoken, but our feelings met each other.
[Good! The written evidence (although the contents make no sense ..) is complete! Thank you for your cooperation! By the way, what will you two ..]
Slam it!
[This-, this is terrible! Get off at the mine, Armorsaurus shows up! They said that some of the miners who took the ore had been injured!]
[What?! So, has this Armorsaurus been taken down?]
[No problem there! Just now, the suppression unit has been dispatched. But those injured are in poor condition. I don't know if it's for the preparation of the war or something else, but everything related to medicine has been sold, and it seems that they won't be issuing a makeshift shop in the castle.]
[Are there no healers?]
[Yes ... you know that in order to mine "magic ore" you have to go deep into the cave, right? Right now, all capable healers were going to escort the miners, and the only ones available right now were the greenhorns!!]
[What did you say...!?]
It seemed to be a serious situation .. and they completely forgot I was there.
I thought to myself, 'If there are emergency supplies in the castle, take it out!' ….
Recovery medicine yes. Although I have it ... what should I do?
[Oi, sir! Sir!!!]
I decided to give them some.
As for why I would do this, unlike I thought maybe building a good self-image would probably prove my innocence in the previous incident ...it is not at all like that!
Saving lives is a natural thing to do!
Although I admit, I sound suspicious …
But they say that compassion is not for the benefit of others. In other words, something good can happen to me!
[What is that? I'm busy! The investigation is over now, but I haven't been able to release you. For a while, you will be waiting in this place!]
[No, no, not that. It's about this, you understand?]
I took the medicine from my pocket. (Or from their view, I just spit it out.)
[…? Ah, what is this?]
[It's a restorative drug. The quality is very good! Good to drink! Great to apply on the wound!]
[Ha? Why is mucus like you holding something like medicine?]
Hi now …. Where is my arrangement (a story about a young girl) from before leaving.
Just now I was actually treated like slime! As I expected, he also went with the flow at that moment.
Put that aside …
[It doesn't matter, does it? Please try using it. How much do you need?]
[Six people were injured but .. do you have enough?]
The young soldier-san, who came to report the situation, looked at me suspiciously.
Satan gave you medicine .. If it was me, I wouldn't take it.
[Tsk! No problem, don't leave the room! We're leaving now!]
[Eh? But, captain .. it's the devil, you know?]
[Shut up! Will be! Hurry up and lead the way!!]
While saying that, the bearded soldier-san called the captain snatched the 6 medicines I had taken and started running.
Although we never spoke well with each other, I think he decided to believe in me.
He seems like a good person, just like his appearance. Although it was surprising that he was a captain.
[Is it over now?]
Gobuta-kun asked. He was silent from the beginning of the interrogation, only nodding in agreement with my claim.
[It's not over yet, but well .. let's see how it works.]
Rogerba!]
From then on, we waited in a completely empty state of mind.
Sometimes, among the soldiers who came and went from the guard post, some would stare at us in confusion, tilting their heads …
We spent 1 hour waiting.
I was practicing controlling the spider threads to pass the time, when I felt the footsteps of the returning captain and his men.
Stopping what I was doing, I returned to the waiting room.
Gobuta-kun is sleeping there. This fellow ... unexpectedly, he might really be an extraordinary person!
[You saved us! Thank you.]
Entering the room, the captain thanked him while lowering his head.
Also with him, was a group of miners following behind.
[I heard you gave me the medicine! Thank you!!!]
[Honestly, I almost lost an arm, and couldn't work anymore .. Really, thank you!!!]
[….]
The miners all expressed their rewards in turn.
Oh there's one man left .. why didn't he say anything!
Well, I've rightly accepted their feelings of gratitude.
A while passed, and the miners had finished what they said and left.
Before I noticed, the sun was already down and the sun was getting darker.
After that, the captain and I shared another conversation. This time, I did not hide anything from him.
The five people, from the previous disaster incident, turned out to be adventurers who were part of this country's Freedom Association.
Apparently, they were talented individuals, but were quite famous for their problems.
Without holding anything back, the captain laughingly said, 'That should have taught them a lesson!'.
He also told me that although it has been confirmed that we did nothing wrong in particular, but taking into account the feelings of the observers involved in the incident, there is no choice but to hold us back.
I found that the damage report was never made.
But really, it's understandable. Making a complaint by saying, 'I want compensation for my dirty underwear!', It would be a shame.
Instead, I also told him about our circumstances.
In order to revive the goblin village, we need clothes, weapons, and armor. If possible, I would also like to hire a capable advisor for the village, and so on.
The captain had listened attentively in all of it with great interest.
When the other guards found out about our situation, they started talking to me about everything. Even Gobuta-kun was surrounded by questions from all sides, having to constantly reply with a confused expression.
And like that, the night passed ….
Next day.
Gobuta-kun borrowed the restroom. He must be still asleep.
Since I didn't need to sleep, I was already in the backyard, staring at the training grounds of the guards. Some practiced swinging their wooden swords (or more like logs), others exchanged light blows at the poles, while others practiced by running.
I was casually watching from the sidelines.
Looking at the situation before me, I simulated in my mind, the fight between the various demons I had used Predation, and the training guards.
It feels like a game.
Still, I wonder if using 『Great Sage』 this way is okay? The way I used it, it could be described as pearls before pigs …
Anyway, it can't help because it's interesting. No problem at all.
Simulated result: an incredible victory by the devil.
Even when the guards were given handicaps, few could beat the bats and lizards.
In a 1-on-1 situation, the conditions were too favorable for the demons.
However, it seems that in a group fight, with 5 ~ 6 people forming a single party, there are some party combinations capable of defeating my spider.
On the other hand, even with all 20 training guards, they were unable to kill my centipede.
After all, I know that the people here are not from the strongest fighters in the country, so maybe this is the standard level of strength.
As I did that, Gobuta-kun also woke up.
The captain is here too, reporting for duty.
[You're free to go. I feel bad for locking you up until now. Although we have a reputation to uphold, we end up spending a day of your time. Pardon me!]
[No no, saving on lodging costs is helpful!]
[Listening that really makes me comfortable. As an apology, let me introduce you to a skilled blacksmith!]
[It would be awesome! Thank you very much!]
Many things are looking for us.
Regarding immigration checks, we were given preferential treatment and completed without hindrance, while on the other hand we saved money on lodging costs.
I also expected trouble in finding a capable blacksmith, but the warrior-san's recommendation solved everything!
Looking at it optimistically, only good things happen to us!
[But in return ..]
Mm? Is there a hidden catch to this?
When it comes to things hidden beneath the surface, all the videos I love …
* Meant as a puncture on the underground video \= pirated video. Because under the guise of something good there is something bad and the underground videos are pirated videos and bad pirated videos and forget it.
** Can also be about p *rn. I'm just saying
[If you still have those medicines left, I want to buy them!]
I understand now.
I did hear it yesterday, that the supply of medicines was somehow low.
Seeing I have a very large stock of medicines, it would be fine to sell them .. but I do not know the market price for them.
What's to be done?
Well, whatever.
These drugs do not cost anything to produce. If he says he needs it, then I'll just hand it over.
[I can agree to that. Even though I said that, I do need it myself, so it depends on how much you need.]
[I'll be fine with just taking the leftovers. Even if only one is left, I will accept it!]
Hn? Isn't that weird?
Wasn't he trying to get a stockpile of backup medicines?
Having just one, will not solve anything in time of need …
I think the need for medicine is so great.
[Mm ... What about 5?]
[5! That would be awesome!]
[Well, and also, did you know that it will probably still have a good effect when diluted with water? When treating an average injury, only 1/10 of the medication should be fine!]
As I explained how it worked, the captain nodded with a face that shouted, 'I want more!'.
After making sure he understood, I handed him 5 pieces of medicine and in return, I received a small bag.
Opening the bag, I saw some gold coins inside.
[While it may not be much, it's all we can take. I hope you can give me everything for 5 coins each!]
It seemed that 5 pieces of the medicine were worth 25 gold coins.
But at this moment, I cannot say profit from losses, so I thought of taking advantage of this opportunity to ask about currency exchange rates.
[Uhmm, excuse me ..]
[Is that not enough? But this is the best I can offer ..]
[No, even though I am fine with the amount you give, there is something I want you to teach me!]
[Eh? Are you okay with this price? The- ... What do you want to ask?]
Hm? Hnn?
Judging from that reaction .. I was tricked! It might be okay to push the price up a bit.
Well, it doesn't matter.
I feel that this captain-san is a good person, so I doubt that he took advantage of me seriously.
[Right now, I only have a small amount of money, but not only that, I do not know at all about the value of money and the price of commodities …
If possible, please teach me about those things! Besides, being slime, I'm stupid in these things!]
My current way of speaking is completely against the backdrop of yesterday (the story of a young girl).
After all, the two of us had never believed in that story in the first place, so there was no problem there!
And so, we chatted before the departure that lasted so long, that it was only after lunch that I was ready to say, 'Now we are leaving!'.
I couldn't feel anything, but even so, it was a good meal.

Side Story 1
Today, I met an unusual slime.
After receiving reports that an incredible terrifying demon appeared, I deployed my guard troops and took effect.
Even when I approached him from a distance, I could tell how powerful the black demon was.
Aruuuuuuu ~~~ !!!
* This is how a powerful demon howls
Suddenly, the demon released a terrifying howl.
It was all it took for me to freeze in place, my heart filled with the desire to escape all at once.
But it will never be allowed.
We are the guards who protect the safety of these citizens!
Although we might not be able to defeat the demons, at the very least, we need to buy time until the army can make a move …!
Strengthening ourselves, we arrived at the scene, only to find ….
Poof
The demon suddenly erupted into thick smoke. When the smoke dissipated, the powerful demons were no longer there.
Instead, there was a slime that was secretly trying to escape …
Without hesitation, I immediately caught the slime. It seemed to have no intention of resisting.
Then I spoke to Slime. Unexpectedly, the demon could understand human words. Even trying to fool me with a life story that is clearly made up. Not that it matters.
I have received reports with details confirming that these demons did nothing wrong in particular.
But at that moment.
A courier arrived with news of the person injured by Armorsaurus!
It was an extremely powerful B rank demon. Nevertheless, our suppression squads are full of war veterans. It will not be a threat to them. Even though I said that, an encounter with a B-rank demon would usually result in a missing limb, and that if you were lucky.
Furthermore, the current situation was extremely dire.
In response to the Empire's movements in the east, countries around the world, including our dwarf kingdom, have recently begun to prepare for the worst, building up emergency reserves of goods such as medicine.
That is why the stock of curative goods on the market is quickly depleted.
And on top of the lack of medicine, our royal healers are also unavailable, as every one of them escorts the miners opting for the "magic ore" ….
The situation seemed hopeless.
True, there were still exclusive royal healers of the king, but they would not take action for the common people. The reason being that they are valuable resources, capable of changing the fate of a nation.
When I brace myself for the inevitable …
[Oi, sir! Sir!!!]
The mucus called me.
While wondering what she wanted, I listened to what she wanted to say. It turns out that the mucus was willing to give medicine.
Could this be a trick?
But to be honest, I know that slime is very good.
I started to trust him a little bit, from our conversation until now.
Even so, I decided to kill him in case something went wrong, and take some medicine.
I arrived where the injured miners were.
They are in terrible condition. Six men lying side by side.
The smell of blood stings.
Among the injured, three were in very poor condition.
A man's arm was torn to shreds and nearly fell off.
Other internal organs protrude out through the open wound.
And the last man was badly hit on his back.
The way I see it, they cannot be saved ….
(Good to drink! Great to wear on the wound!)
I remembered the slime sound from that slime from before.
In the current condition of the injured men, it would be difficult for them to take medicine.
While thinking that the most I could do was ease their suffering, I sprinkled the medicine I received on the injured parts of their bodies. And what I saw was amazing!
The effect of the mysterious medicine was something I had never seen before.
When he made contact with the damaged body part, the powder medicine gently seeped into the wound, as if it had never existed.
I will never forget the spectacle that will happen.
The medicinal effect was greater than what a higher magic healer could do, even a king healer would not be able to do it.
In front of my eyes, those wounds were quickly repairing themselves!
Not only myself, but every member of my squad also witnessed this phenomenon.
The other three men who were lightly injured, recovered as soon as they took the medicine with water. And in addition, various aching conditions such as chronic back pain and loss of feeling in the limbs are all cured.
Whatisthis? Is this really medicine?
An item like this, wasn't it on the same level as the legendary elixir !?
The three men who came back from the brink of death, insisted they wanted to thank the medicine giver, so I took them to where the mucus was.
Seeing them interact, I felt that the mucus did not seem to realize that it had provided such an incredible medicine.
I thought to myself, If it's like this .. I might be able to buy some of that medicine.
If I can obtain just one, it is possible to know the method of making it.
Now that it has come to this, I am somewhat sorry to have used all 6 of the initial drugs I received.
For mildly injured men, it may be better to dissolve the drug before letting them take it….
Anyway, I will act tomorrow!
I will do whatever it takes to make the negotiations go well.
Pondering deep into the night, about how I directed the conversation to get medicine, I slept too late and slept less in the morning.
