Chapter 12

Just as the wind god said, a magical arrow made of wind appeared above me. It spun around until stopping and pointed towards the west.

Sigh...

Here goes another long road trip, in this case, flying trip.

I started up my Wind Walker skill and dashed through the air.

-

Dashing through the air, my mind was currently dwelling on my thoughts.

I wonder why is the god so insistent on meeting up with the Hero?

You could've just told me why, you know?

Sigh...

I didn't really want to meet civilization yet since I'm afraid I might meet-

Actual Furries.

Cat girls? I'm borderline fine with that since Im a man of culture but actual walking, talking, clothes wearing anthromorphic animals?

Heck no.

I honestly prefer not to meet an actual living creature like that, but guessing its a fantasy world, then there probably would be.

And it's not like its their fault for existing, It's just because of the internet's influence did I grow disgusted of them.

I know it's wrong but its just my preference at this point.

Look at me, making excuses to myself.

Sigh.. what has this world done to me.

Smack!

Hm?

I slowed down as I heard a sound coming from below the forest.

Smack! Smack!

What is that?

I hovered slowly as I passed through the trees and there I saw the origin of the sound.

It was-

Oh wow, Finally, a reminder that I'm actually in a fantasy world.

What I saw were two short green coloured humanoid creatures that had pointy ears and sharp noses.

Yep, Goblins.

Both were holding a stick as they were hitting a.. slime?

It was a light peach coloured circular creature that wobbled as it moved.

Oh wow! an actual slime! how incredible-

Smack! Smack!

What the- Hey! What are you doing to that adorable slime!

I quickly cancelled my skill and landed beside them.

All of them twitched as they were surprised by my appearance.

The two goblins were now paralyzed as they felt my strong presence.

"Chiee! Chiee!"

"Chieeeee!"

Wow, this is how goblins talk? It sounded like a highly pitched disabled crow.

The slim on the other hand, just wobbled in confusion and then rolled around.

And then-

Thud! Bounce...

It hit the tree in a cute ditzy way and then.. sort of glared at it?

Holy crap that's cute.

B-but don't get me wrong, I definitely don't have a slime fetish!

It's just... incredibly cute and I think I wanna keep it.

"Chieee! Chie!"

The goblins managed to snap me out of my tranced state.

Oh yeah, I forgot about you two.

Tail Whip!

Bam!

Splat!

The goblins immediately disappeared and splattered into s bloody mess.

Wow, how gruesome.

The slime then headed towards the exploded corpses and then began-

Absorbing them?

No don't eat those!

I grabbed the little slime away from the bloody mess and then grabbed something out of my bag.

They were a bunch of tasty fruits and flowers.

It absorbed the the fruits and flowers and then-

Bounce! Bounce!

Holy- is it... happy? Holy crap that's the cutest reaction I've ever seen.

I then took out some more stuff and gave it to the slime.

It wobbled and bounced in delight meanwhile I, on the other hand, was having fun feeding it like I was feeding a rabbit.

Eventually, the slime looked full and-

"burp."

HOLY SH- DID IT JUST BURP?! OH MY GOD THAT'S ADORABLE.

E-ehem, don't get me wrong, I was just taken by surprise by the sudden attack of cuteness.

Anyway, I have to go.

"Awow wow! wow!", Bye-bye, slime! Take care!

And so I began to walk away in satisfaction. I activated my skill and ascended to the air.

I was about to start dashing but then suddenly, I heard smacking noises again, this time, it was twice and blunter than before!

I returned and I now see four goblins ganging up on that one slime.

K-... K-..... KISAMAAAA!

"Chie?"

I immediately used my tail whip, causing them to explode and go splat!

I jogged and saw the poor beat up slime.

[ Slime Lv. 0

HP: 1/20

Attack Power: 40 ]

How could they?! They left you near death!

I hugged the little fella and caressed it's soft bouncy body but then-

Bam!

H-huh...?

T-the slime... it... exploded...

No way.. No! IT CAN'T BE!

[ Slime Lv.0

HP: 0/10

Status: Dead ]

NNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I- I killed it! I crushed it to death!

Oh no... what have I done....

-

Sniff.. sniff... It's okay.. I'm alright now.

After controlling my mixed emotions, I finally got over it and headed on my way.

You will be forever missed, adorable slime...

-

Along the way, I tried to keep my mind off what happened earlier and focused on drivi- I mean flying faster.

As I was just about to move on and forget about it.

But then I heard multiple blunt hitting noises from the distance.

No way! could it be? Could I have traveled back in time?

The noises came from a distance and got louder and louder as I went towards it.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Swipe! Swipe!

Woosh! Thud!

Hm? it sounded like.. a lot of missed attacks? Huh...

Rustle! Rustle!

I hovered above the trees and finally got a view of the battle.

"Chiee!"

Is that... what I think it is? No.. please don't tell me its another-

What I saw was ten or more goblin were all gathered in one place trying to hit a-

Don't tell me it's another sli-

Swipe! Swipe!

Bounce. Bounce. Thud!

Oh? oooh! It really is another slime! not only that, this one isn't retarded!

Bounce. Bounce. Thud!

Not is it dodging the simultaneous attacks of the goblins, but as well as counter attacking them whenever they missed! Amazing!

It had the colour of purple it and seemed actually intelligent since it accurately times it's counter attacks as well as swiftly bounces to the side whenever the goblins swing their clubs and sticks.

Interesting.

It was a total 1v10+ but the slime is owning them!

However, what the slime didn't account for was the other goblins who were behind the front line.

They were throwing pebbles and stones as they aimed at the purple slime. It didn't mattered to them even if they hit their own team.

Although it was a stupid reckless tactic, it was working against the slime as some of the thrown stones hit it and damage him.

The slime was slowly getting weaker and slower after continuous battle against the goblins.

And so, I'm gonna step in.

I crashed right in the middle of the battle and so both sides were alarmed to the point of having ! on their expressions.

"Chie?!"

"Chieee?!"

The goblins were making a ruckus but I simply walked through them and stood on front of the slime.

It was wobbling a little but it isn't scared.

I put my paw on it's head and patted it rreeeaal soft and slow. You've done well, slime.

It wobbled in confusion but I just merely sighed and turned my attention back to the goblins.

[ Slime Lv.3

HP: 12/60

Attack Power: 80 ]

Hmmm... thats a pretty high attack power for it's level.

The goblin's panicking and screaming was starting to annoy me and so- Tail whip!

Bam!

Splat! Splat! Splat!

The goblins' blood and remains were all over the place and it was once again a bloody mess.

The slime quivered in fear but reluctantly faced me as if saying " I'm not afraid of you! ".

Interesting....

The slime was still preparing itself as it kept trembling in front of me. I raised one of my tail to grab some food in my bag but as soon as I did that-

It squished itself and trembled in fear.

Oh.. it's really afraid of me huh?

I sat in front of it and used one of my other tail to pat the little shaking guy. It looked at me in surprise- or at least I think it is looking at me.

I took some of my food from my bag and fed it. At first it was reluctant to try it but then after tasting ( melting? ) the fruits, it started to eat faster and faster until it was basically chowing down all the foods I gave it.

After finishing the food, it looked at me reluctance and confusion.

Guhk! W- what a heavy blow.... ( Too cute for me to handle. )
