chapter 20

after they left Shizue's hut, Seth and Rimuru went to another hut

"So Seth how you plan to save her?" curious Rimuru question

"I have a magic that moves souls, that way I'll take her soul and I'll restore all the lost vital energy or at least try," Seth replies.

"Try?Is not it a guarantee that you can save her?" asks Rimuru as he envisions what Seth meant by that.

"There are several factors involved, such as if her soul does not have enough strength to go through the process, or I miss using magic as it will be my first time using it," says Seth

"F-First time using her? Is not that dangerous, Seth?" asks Rimuru as he enters into despair

"Calm down, slime, of course it's dangerous since I'll be messing with your soul but without that I will not be able to save her, and I'm not obliged to do that either," said Seth

"Well, that's true," says Rimuru in accordance with Seth. "But it would be a shame if she died, she is the first person we met in our world to see her die that way does not seem very right," says Rimuru with a sad

"I have to agree with you," Seth says in a sad voice too.

The silence stayed in place for a few minutes as they waited for Shizue's response, until someone knocked on the door

"Come in," said Rimuru, and then Ligurudo enters the hut

"Seth-sama, Rimuru-sama Shizue-san asked me to warn you that you already know your answer and want to meet with you" says Ligurudo

On hearing this, Rimuru looks at Seth.

"Let's go," Seth says, and all three of them leave the hut toward Shizue's cabin.

They arrived quickly in the hut, Ligurudo had left already and apenass stayed Seth and Rimuru while Shizue was sitting in bed looking at them

"So Shizue what's your answer?" Seth asks directly

"First, do you have any guarantee that you can cure me?" Shizue suddenly asked in a worried voice.

"I think I've told you before, but I'm not sure I'll be able to," Seth replies without hiding anything from her.

Hearing this, Shizue lets out a sigh, "What will happen to my body if the process of withdrawing my soul is a success?" Shizue asks

"Hm? Oh, I was thinking about letting Rimuru take care of him, so he can preserve his body and also hit a human form of himself" says Seth

"It's for me?" shouts Rimuru in surprise, "Are you okay with that Shizue-san?" Rimuru peg when turning to Shizue who only responds with a smile

"Well then I'll be in your care Seth-san" says Shizue

Seth then lets out a small smile "I'll do my best"

And all of them look at each other with a smile on their face.

"Well, then we'll start right away, because the faster we get the better chance we have to get it," Seth says.

"Yes" says Shizue and Rimuru

"Rimuru want you to give me some of those crystals again," Seth says, and then Rimuru releases several of those crystals on the floor.

Seth goes to the mound of crystals that were on the floor and picks up one of them "We'll start then" says Seth

[transmute] says Seth and the crystal begins to become a goo and then begins to take shape again

"I must first form the recepitacle to then alter the form to allow a soul to dwell in here," Seth thinks.

[change] says Seth and more energy begins to go towards the crystal so that it explodes in his hand

"I knew it would not be that easy," Seth says in a disappointed voice.

"What happened, Seth?" Rimuru asked curious why the crystal had exploded

"It gave me a problem when I changed the crystal, maybe it sent me a little energy or a lot of it, I do not know, or it's just my lack of experience since that was my first time using change hahaha," Seth answers in a relaxed way, "Well, let's try again

So one hour passed and all the crystals had already been blown and some did not even change to begin with because the transmutation had gone wrong

"What the hell is this, I try everything, and nothing's working out" screams Seth in fury

"Well, maybe you're doing it the wrong way or using the wrong magic" comments Rimuru

"Wrong magic?" Seth asks

"You did not say there was magic for several things in your mind, is not there anything that is made only for magic crystals or something like the anime?" Rimuru question

when he hears Seth's face grows pale "Because I did not think of it before" Seth thinks

"Has?" Rimuru asks again

"W-Wait there, I'll look," says Seth, and then closes his eyes.

"Now that magic," Seth thinks as he wanders through his consciousness, "I found, here is this Jewel magic," says Seth happily and flees his conscience

"I found it," Seth says as he opens his eyes again, "Quick we'll be starting right now," Seth says and quickly picks up another crystal

[Jewel magic] says Seth and begins to send mana to the crystal once again

The crystal as before begins to become a goo but this time quickly takes the form of a crystalline diamond "Now, carefully send more mana to the crystal," Seth grunts.

[change] says it and now begins again the process of changing the crystal

minutes would sweat running down Seth's forehead and his eyes at least blinked, Shizue and Rimuru who were also in place were as tense as he

"Phuuuff, finally," Seth shouts as he tries to send energy to his credit and throw himself on the floor, "I did not think it would be so complicated," Seth thinks.

"Eai, did you get it this time?" asked Rimuru curious and Shizue was by his side as curious as he

"Yes I did, just let me rest for a while and we'll start part two" says Seth leaving Shizue now nervous

"hahaha do not worry at all you'll just die," says Seth with a joke tone

"That, did not sound a bit funny Seth-san" Shizue yells nervously

"hahahah" Rimuru laughs as he sees the conversation between the two, "Well we'll let you rest a few minutes and we'll start later then"

"Yes," Seth replies.
