Chapter 13

Alright! I have decided! I shall teach this slime how to fight and survive!

Since I can't speak to it, I tried communicating through actions and gestures but none of them seem to get through the slime.

After a couple of tries, I got tired and simply just started walking away. I looked back at it and shook my head telling it to follow me.

Surprisingly, that worked and the slime slowly rolled towards me and then stopped beside me.

I started walking and the slime followed.

-

We walked through the forest for quite some time and the slime followed without showing much reactions.

Rustle! Rustle!

A bush in front of us suddenly started shaking and out appeared was a <Three-eyed Deer>.

Oh wow, haven't seen a couple your kind in a while.

I immediately captured it with one of my tails as it started to panic and struggle.

[ Three-Eyed Deer Lv. 23

HP: 30000/30000

Attack Power: 15800 ]

I tightened my grip and the deer's hp started to drop meanwhile the slime was still surprised by my sudden action.

I stopped as soon as the hp hit 30 and immediately released the deer which fell on the ground, barely alive.

I then looked at the scared and confused slime, I pointed at it then towards the half-dead deer.

Come on. Kill it.

As if understanding what I told it to do, It jumped high and rushed towards the dying deer.

Smack!

[ Three-Eyed Deer Lv. 23

HP: 0/30000

Status: Dead ]

As the deer's hp go to zero, it dropped down on the ground and with that, the deer was dead.

After that, we continued to hunt monsters throughout the night.

-

It was already dawn when we finished grinding.

We grinded so hard that the slime was now lying beside a tree, exhausted. But it should be worth it since the slime's level rose by a whole lot!

[ Slime Lv 33

HP: 47000/47000

Attack Power: 54000 ]

It should be able to take care of itself now.

Phew.... Good job me, you did well! You've done yet another good deed Haruki!

Although it was tiring and boring to boost this slime, It's cute action and excited energy kept me going all night.

Sigh.. It feels good to do a good deed from time to time.

The slime looked peacefully sleeping and so I guess this is my cue. It should be okay to leave the slime alone now since it can protect itself.

I looked above me and the arrow was pointing towards the north and is somewhat blinking?

Oh yeah! forgot this only lasted for three days! Damn it! I got too distracted!

I took one last look at the sleeping slime.

Take care.

Well, It's time to go now.

Bounce. Bounce. Thud!

As I cast the Wind Walker skill I suddenly felt something tugging on my right foot.

Hm?

It was sticking to my right leg and started shaking as if... telling me not to go? B-but I've got to go!

Wobble Wobble!

C'mon now don't be like that... don't do that... It'll make it harder for me to let you go..

I tried pushing and shaking the slime away, but it stubbornly clung unto my leg.

Come one now little slime... Don't make it harder for the both of us. Besides, you're already strong enough to-

Suddenly, a screen appeared to me saying-

[ Slime ( Purple ) has recognized you as it's master, Accept the title < Slime ( Purple - Can be changed later )'s Master > Y/N? ]

What?

This little guy.. wants to be my follower?

Do you want to be my follower?, " Awooow wow? "

I closely looked at it and it felt like it understood what I said by replying back with a rubbing itself unto me like a cat.

Aww... how cu- wait no!

Are you sure about this?! My ultimate goal is turning back into hu- I mean saving the world! Do you think you can take it?!

[ Yes Boshu! ]

What the- d- did you just talk?!

[ Talk? ]

Oh my g- it sounds too freaking cute! If a marshmallow were to have a voice then it would sound the same as this little guy.

Hmph, I guess if you really want to come then you could. B-but don't get me wrong, it's not like I was happy when you joined or something.

[ Not Happy? ]

Kuhk- No that was I lie! I was very happy!

As soon as I said that, I chose Y.

[ Congratulations! You have received [ Slime ( Purple - can be changed later )'s Master! ]

Bounce! Bounce! Bounce!

[ Yey! Together with Bosh! ]

It was bouncing in happiness as I let it hop in my back.

It's gonna be a long trip Kinoko! Hold tight!

[ Yes Bosh! ]

This little guy's voice is exactly like a three year old trying it's best to speak! How cute....

I then activated my skill and dashed towards north.

-

We traveled day and night, making a few stops along the way to kill high-leveled monsters.

During these times, I spent a lot more talking to Kinoko as he made my make shift bag into his very own seat now.

I talked to him and taught him how to speak. I learned that Kinoko was an extremely sharp and intelligent slime as it didn't even take her 6 hours to be able to converse with me properly as well as remember the use and meaning of difficult worlds.

Wow... it is true as they say, they grow up so fast. Sniff... Is this what it feels like to be a parent?

I've honestly never been prouder.

...

Oh yeah! I forgot! I can now view and edit little Kinoko's status!

With that said- I shifted my focus to Little Kimono as he peacefully slept inside the bag.

Well.. I guess he should be, since its already night time.

We've been traveling for about one and a half day now, I guess it should make sense that he's tired.

Anyway, Kinoko, Status!

Blessings: N/A ]

Hou... he has some pretty good skills. As expected of my follower!

There was no need for me to edit or adjust anything since everything was already okay for me.

I was starting to get mentally tired since flying nonstop for one and a half day was more exhausting than I thought. So after checking Kinoko's stats, I slowly descended and landed somewhere on a high ground and beneath a tree.

I gently placed my bag beside me as I made myself comfortable and slowly started to snooze.

I
