"Speak"

'talking to yourself'

*Telepathy*

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

He could have missed his laugh, I got what he wanted to say, So he doesn't need to have kids, because he's going to live forever, right? And while this guy took a while to get to the point, he did mention something I don't want to ignore.

Veldora was the Storm...Dragon?

Plus, if he liked taking a good-natured swipe at upper- level magic-born now and then, he was...like, pretty tough, wasn't he?

*That's cool* - Vegito

'Veldora, really a dragon that differs so much from what I expected, I'm at a loss as to what to do with it' - Vegito

The blue slime also looked at me and was probably thinking the same thing.

*W-wow, really? Well, thanks for all that handy guidance, sir! Guess I better be on my way, then!* - Slime

Vegito who heard the slime's response just sweated, because he was in the same position as this slime.

'This slime is trying his best to escape.' - Vegito

*Halt. I have told you all about myself. It is your turn now, would you not agree?* -Veldora

'I probably shouldn't have expected any other treatment, Hmmmm, He wanted to know about me? If I told him about my miraculous journey from an alien planet, would he believe me? He seemed to marvel at how smart I was for a Saiyan but i look like a human, if I tried to make something up, I doubted he'd fall for it. Such an attempt seemed like a good way to dig my own grave, Well, whatever. If he didn't believe me, I'd deal with it then. Summoning my resolve, I told Veldora everything that had happened to me so far.'

The first one to explain the situation was a slime, and I was surprised so far, because I wasn't the only one who was reincarnated, however, I sympathized with him a little because he was reincarnated as a slime, not a human, man, he must be feeling a little weird since he used to have arms and legs, eyes and so on, but now he's just a slime.

after the Slime explained the situation, now for me, the slime also had the same reaction as me, but not Veldora, he really wasn't surprised at all, after I explained my situation, the slime and I talked about how envious the slime was to me because she reincarnated into a human, but he's wrong!!, I'm a goddamn saiyan!!!, yes but I don't blame him because the tailless saiyan is really like a human, only his power really has no limits, my dream when I was a kid was really achieved, the current me can train continuously continuously and become stronger Hahahaha!!.

*Hmm. So a transmigrant, then? The origins of the two of you are quite rare, indeed.* - Veldora

*Huh? Are they? And you... "Transmigrant"? This isn't any big surprise to you?* - Vegito

*Right, I thought you'd be surprised that we weren't from this world, and we reincarnated too, but you weren't surprised at all.* - Slime

'What's with that reaction? So these "transmigrants" were common enough that he had a name for them? What was so rare about it, then?'

*Hmph. You do see transmigrants, on occasion. Their memories from the past are burned into their souls, due to a powerful will, There are some, indeed, who retain every memory of their past lives, But a transmigrant from another world... That is quite uncommon, A regular soul, by itself, would have no hope of surviving a journey across realms, It would dissolve midway, taking its memories with it, Someone retaining their full mind and becoming reborn as a monster out of pure magic and also someone who looks like a human... I cannot recall any past example of that. Quite...peculiar, indeed.* - Veldora

'Transmigrants from other worlds, it seemed, kept only part of their memories at best. Someone like me and that Slime, who still had them all, was pretty well unheard of—not that I cared too much.

He had just told me something I couldn't afford to ignore. A soul, "by itself"...? So you could travel to this world without getting reincarnated or anything?'

*someone who looks like a human? So you're not human?* - Slime

*Oh I didn't tell you did I? I'm not a human, but I'm a Saiyan.* - Vegito

*Saiyan?!?!, you're so lucky!!* - Slime

*As I thought you are not a human* - Veldora

*Huh, are we unusual? 'Cause it sure doesn't feel that way... Are there people, then, who come here from other worlds without being trans-whatevered?* - Slime

*There are. None have succeeded in traveling to another world from here, but there are more than a few that have completed their travels here from elsewhere. They are known as "visitors," or "otherworlders," and they bear knowledge of things that do not exist in this world. They acquire, as I hear it, some manner of special power when they make the journey here. Beyond that, there are records of transmigrants, who—as I said—bear knowledge of other worlds. Not all of them choose to openly identify themselves as such, though, I imagine.* - Veldora

'Interesting. I didn't know whether they came from the same planet I did, but it might be good to chat with them a bit. There might even be some from Japan, for all I knew. but even then if they're not like the bastards I read about in novels, well I hope those guys are like the slimes next to me.'

*I see, I see! In that case, I think I'll try and track down some of these "otherworlders," as you called them. Maybe I'll find someone from my own land! Are you coming too?* - Slime

*Maybe I'll come too, after all I'm also curious about the people who were summoned to this world, not reincarnated like us.* - Vegito

*Well, one moment. You said you cannot see, yes?* - Veldora

*Oh, uh, yeah.* - Slime

*Let me help you see, then.* - Veldora

*Uh, really?* - Slime

*Indeed. On one condition, however. What do you say?* - Veldora

*What kind of condition?* - Slime

*Simple one. When I gave you the ability of sight, I asked the you not to be afraid of me. That, and I ask you two to come visit and talk to me again. That's all. I believe my requirements match yours?* - Veldora

*Wait, why was I brought along too?* - Vegito

*Please, lucky man, I want to see* - Slime

*...Fine* - Vegito

*Is that really all you need?* - Slime

*Yes. To be honest with you, I was sealed away in here three hundred years ago. Ever since then, I have had so much free time on my hands, I was practically out of my mind with boredom. What do you think?* - Veldora

*300 years and alone huh, I wonder if I can still keep my mind sane or not.* - Vegito

*I agree with you, Well, if that's all you need, you got yourself a deal!* - Slime

*Good. It is a promise, then...and I trust you will hold up your end of the bargain.* - Veldora

*Of course! Maybe I don't look it, but you can count on me, man! Just ask anybody on Earth! They'll vouch for me!* - Slime

'Hopefully he wouldn't try to. That would be bad.'

*Very well. There is a skill known as Magic Sense. Can you use it?* - Veldora

*No, I can't. What kind of skill is that?* - Slime

*It allows you to perceive the particles of magic floating around you. It is not a very powerful skill, and all it offers is a visual reference, so it is not difficult to acquire.* - Veldora

*oh, so similar to my Ki Sense* - Vegito

*Oh... Sounds easy enough.* - Slime

*Indeed. I can wield it as easily as I can breathe. I hardly even bother to think about it.* - Veldora

*Really? So once I learn that, I'll be able to see again?* - Slime

*Precisely. This world is covered in sheer magic, although it is not spread evenly across its entire surface. Did you know, also, that light and sound both have the properties of a wave?* - Veldora

*Yeah, I've heard about that. Light waves and sound waves.* - Slime

*Ah. How intelligent of you. Did you learn of that in your past world? You must have, I wager. But, indeed, you will be able to observe how these waves disturb the nearby particles of magic, then use that information to calculate how the area around you looks and sounds. Simple, yes?* - Veldora

Slime just shook his head.

*No? But that is what allows one to continue fighting even after losing both their sight and hearing! It protects you from surprise attacks, and that is all but a requirement for survival here, is it not?* - Veldora

*Hoho, that's really a good skill since we can protect blind spots with that skill* - Vegito

*Y-yeah, but...can we skip all that fighting talk and just get me seeing again, maybe?* - Slime

*Mmm... Very well. Allow me to help you acquire this skill, then. This is the only method I am aware of.* - Veldora

*W-wait, can you do that? I'm kind of a newborn here...* - Slime

*Worry not. You do have your memories from your past life, yes? And there, you gained knowledge about the nature of light and sound. Without that, not even I could help you, I wager. Luck is on your side, truly.* - Veldora

*I'm ready to learn, sir!* - Slime

*Now, now, no need for such ardor. It is quite simple. First, try moving the magic around you with the force in your body.* - Veldora

*Like this?* - Slime

Vegito saw the Slime carrying out Veldora's instructions, and he sensed that the Magicule around him started responding to the Slime, then moved and came to the Slime.

*Mmm. You are more gifted in this than I thought. Now, do you see the difference between the magic moving within you and that outside of your body?* - Veldora

*Well, sure! Like, that's the stuff I've been eating all along, right?* - Slime

*Eat?* - Vegito

*Yes, when I just reincarnated and walked around the cave, I ate things like Hipokute herbs and magical stones.* - Slime

*Heh-heh-heh! If you understand that much, the rest is child's play. All it takes is feeling the movements of the particles outside of you.* - Veldora

Slime Pov.

doing as I was told and feeling out the particles surrounding me. And I found I could. I could sense them hanging in the air, riding air currents, moving around—all sorts of sensations. Let's ask the Sage about this.

{Confirmed. Extra skill "Magic Sense"...successfully acquired.

Use the extra skill Magic Sense?

Yes No}

Huh? It was that easy? Well, sure—yes, then... Man, talk about a rock I can rely on!

The moment I invoked Magic Sense, my brain was filled with new information. A massive amount, something my human brain never could've processed—the waves of light and sound pushing every single tiny particle around—and I processed it all, converting it into perceptible data.

The thing about human eyesight is that it doesn't give you even a 180-degree view of what's in front of you. Now, all of a sudden, I could "see" a full 360 degrees around myself. The shadows of the rocks around me, the views hundreds of meters away—the moment I turned my attention to it, I could figure out what it was. If I were still human, all this perception data probably would've fried my brain circuits. But now I was a slime.

My cells could provide muscle just as easily as brain power.

So somehow or other, I withstood the torrent of information. Then—

{Synchronizing extra skill Magic Sense with unique skill Great Sage... Successful. All information will now be managed by Great Sage.}

Suddenly, my vision opened up. The brain-searing sensation from before was gone, and then I could see—so clearly that it was a wonder I wasn't able to do it before. Something told me that having the Sage at my side was almost cheating. It wouldn't be going too far to put it that way. If someone else had it, I'd probably bitch that it was against the rules. Since I had it, though... No problem.

*Oh, I think I've got it. Thank you very much!* - Slime

turning my attention to the creature in front of me.

Holy crap. He really was a dragon. He was covered in scales that shone a dark shade of black, tougher looking than steel itself but supple and flexible. A big, evil-looking...

*Gahh! You're a dragon!!* - Slime

He looked positively demonic, towering far higher than I anticipated. My internal scream welled up, pouring out of me, and I don't think I could really be blamed for it.

*Your reaction is the same as mine, I also didn't expect the crazy aura that was leaking out from Veldora* - Vegito

Slime Pov End.
