Chapter 15

Yes, let's go.

They take a step into the desert and immediately both turn back into a slime and a spider.

Both look around and don't know what to do.

Häää what happened now? Kumoko asks.

I do not know.

Can it be that you can't use skills in the desert? Kumoko asks.

Maybe.

What do we do now? Kumoko looks at Rimuru questioningly.

I don't know, we can't carry the backpack anymore.

Yes, do we want to look for another way, or do we want to go through the desert. Rimuru asks and runs out of the desert.

Kumoko runs behind and then turns into a human again.

So I do not care. Says Kumoko.

We do not have to go through the desert.

Let's go another long Rimuru.

Yes.

The two-run back through the gorge and are now back in the forest.

Where do we go now? Kumoko asks.

I don't know. Let's walk in the other direction first.

On the other side of town, you mean Rimuru?

Yes, that's right.

Okay, let's go. Says Kumoko and runs a little forward.

The two-run through the forest but not towards the town but past it.

Then they have to run through a swamp.

Rimuru. Says Kumoko.

Yes, what is it?

Can we take a break? I can't take it anymore.

Yes, when we get out of the swamp.

Ok. says Kumoko.

It takes them about 20 minutes to get out of the swamp.

Finally. Says Kumoko and lies down on the ground.

She opens her backpack and takes out some food and drink that they bought in town earlier.

Mmh delicious says Kumoko and smiles.

After eating she falls asleep.

Rimuru has gone out to explore the area a bit and when he comes back Kumoko is just lying on the floor sleeping.

Rimuru goes slowly to her and whispers in her ear.

Get up.

Kumoko startles and looks around.

Hey Rimuru, I didn't tell you not to do that.

Yes, sorry. Says Rimuru but laughs a little.

Kumoko makes a mean face.

OMG, she looks cute. Rimuru thinks and tries to look away.

Come on, let's keep walking.

And where do we go?

Kumoko asks.

Come on, I have explored the area a bit and found something very nice, I think you might like it.
