Tensei Shitara Slime Data Ken
Part III Do I hear "The Little One"?

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be me. And instead of a voice, it is like a thought that is directly transmitted to me. After all, the lack of ears made it so I could not hear the sounds.

(Oi! Can you hear me? You would be wise to answer!)

I can hear you! Even so! I have no way to answer without a throat. As a test, though,

(Silent, bald!)

Is what I think in my mind. Well, it's not like I'll be heard so it's okay. However, how should I reply ….

(.. ho, hoho! To the point of calling me bald .. You have good courage !!! I've been thinking of showing respect to the first visitor in a while, but you seem to have a death wish! )

Shit I seem to be heard. But, to think that you can send a reply with your mind! If only I had been told that from the beginning, I wouldn't have offended anyone. However, I don't know what kind of person I'm dealing with. How else. I give up . I must apologise respectfully.

(I'm sorry! I didn't know how to answer, so I carelessly thought of something as a test. I'm really sorry! I should also mention, my eyes are not in working condition, so I can't even see your appearance.)

Will this work? Well, it's a mistake to call someone bald without knowing what they're like. If it really was someone who was bald, then it was only natural that the person was angry. Let us refrain from thoughtless speech (?) Starts now.

(Sufuku. Fuhaha. Ahhaha !!!)

Suddenly a burst of laughter. Incredible execution of three-stage laughter. Justjust wonderful. Will I be forgiven?

(Interesting. I thought you had spoken after seeing my form, but I see you are invisible. Basically, a slime species was a low-level monster that did nothing but repeat three actions, absorption, replication, and regeneration without thinking. They rarely leave their own territory.)

Suddenly I was spoken to? Instead of being angry, I interest this person .. I think?

Anyway, this is the first contact. The first conversation in my new life (mucus). I want to continue in a friendly manner. If it goes well I might learn a lot.

(I thought it was strange for the mucus mentioned above to challenge me with a body blow. Judging from the abnormal speed of your regenerative abilities, are you a named monster, or perhaps, a unique monster?)

Named her? Unique? I don't understand.

(Excuse me. I'm not quite sure what you mean. To be honest, it's only been 90 days since I was born ..)

(Hm. When you gain a sense of self, you can no longer be considered ordinary slime. The "named" monster is called Named, but if it has only been 90 days since your birth then it seems impossible So, you are Unique?)

(What do you mean by unique?)

(A unique monster, referring to something from a mutated specimen that has abnormal abilities. This is rare, but they are sometimes born in locations rich in magic essence..So, you were born from a mass of magic essence that leaked from me!)

Mm? What the hell are you saying? I will try to go back to the knowledge I had in my previous life. In short, magic essence had leaked from this uncle (assumption), and this place was dense with magic essence. And then, that magic essence has gathered, giving birth to my \= slime, is that so?

(Hm. During these 300 years, nothing, not even the devil, has been able to get close to me. Seeing that you were born from my magical power, it makes sense that you could approach me!)

(Hoho ... So that makes you like my parents?)

(I wasn't your parents .. From the start, I wasn't able to reproduce. Among demons, there are different types, some are capable of reproducing and others are not.)

(Usually, shouldn't you be able to reproduce? Conversely, if you can be born from the mass of magic essence, wouldn't it need to reproduce?)

(. I'm telling you, you're pretty smart. To a normal demon, having only the ability to think, was unusual in itself. Although the only demon I know who has intelligence is "Majin" .. But that's okay, I'll give you the answer to your question. While inferior, there are species that are capable of reproducing. Some examples are goblins, orcs, and lizardmen. This species was even special among demons, and was called half-human. Among the half-humans, there are some who are allied with humans. They were elves, hobbits, and dwarves, all from the fairy race. Well, simply put, demi-humans who are allied with the "Majin" are called demons, while demi-humans who are allied with humans are recognized as part of the human race. The representatives of demons that are capable of reproducing, are these humans. From my point of view, that existence was nothing more than a trash can!

Next, is "Majin". It is a general term that refers to those who are born from magic essence, demons who have undergone mutations, and those who evolved from demonic beasts or beasts. Their hallmarks are intelligence and reproductive ability. It must be known, that they are very different by individuals. Among them were the mutated superior-class Majin, a very chaotic and diverse group.

Lastly are the Majin race which has a long lifespan, the giant race, the vampire race, and the demon race. These races are blessed with reproductive abilities, but they rarely use them. They have incredible magical powers and bodies that never decline. They do not need to leave descendants. Although, exceptions are made when there are good enough reasons, such as the number of their races greatly decreased due to war and the like. They were all, as expected, strong. I have also fought with them before, and if they came in large numbers, I would not be able to fend them off. They are worthy opponents for myself!

Overall, they are called "Mazoku". People who possess intelligence, reproductive abilities, and are hostile to the human race, are called Mazoku.

And for the reason I can't reproduce is .. because I don't need to do it. I am the "Perfect Being", and also one of only 4 dragons that exist in the world. "Storm Dragon Verudora", that's my name! For myself there is no such thing as life span or body! I am a pure mass of magic essence, and as long as I maintain his will, I am indestructible !!!

Fu ~~~ Hahahahaha !!!)

Why are you laughing so hard .. So the point is, since you are immortal, there is no need to have children!, or is it true? I was grateful for his long explanation, but I also heard something that could not be ignored. "Verudora Dragon Form" …. The dragon? Being a fight-loving friend with a superior Majin .. isn't this person extraordinarily dangerous? I may be like this, but as a hobby of a man, I have mastered almost all anime, manga, and light novels in the past. Relying on this source of knowledge, I have concluded that this "Storm Dragon Verudora" - san is undoubtedly dangerous. It's also kind of unpleasant how he explained all those things to me. How should I act …

(S-, so it's like that! For an amazing and understandable explanation, I give you my sincere gratitude! Then I'll go!)

Saying that, I tried to make a break for it.

(Wait. I've told you a lot about myself. This time it wasn't your turn? Hm?)

Of course, he had no intention of letting me go. Hm. Talk about myself, yeah. If I had to tell him, I was reincarnated from another world!, would he honestly believe it? I thought he was suspicious of my high intelligence for slime, and I didn't think I could fool him with an unclear answer. More than anything, there is also the possibility of failing to deceive him \= flag of death. Alright . If he doesn't believe me, it's him. After deciding, I decided to him about all the things that happened to me until now.

. . . . .

(And yeah, so that's it! It was a very difficult time!)

In addition to keeping my skills secret, I told her everything I experienced, from the moment I was stabbed to when I woke up as slime, and how events caused the current situation. Even though I was talking about myself, it was strange that it didn't feel like I was having a terrible moment. It's true it was a terrible experience.

The facts I cannot see are very hard for me. From now on, even if I met them, would I ever again be able to see charming girls and beautiful older sisters? It makes me a little depressed.

(Hrm. As expected, you are a "Reincarnation Being". I said, you were born in a very rare way.)

(Eh? Born in a rare way? Instead, call me "Reincarnation Being", aren't you suspicious or surprised?)

(Hmphc. "Reincarnated Beings" did appear occasionally. If their willpower was strong, their memories were printed onto their souls. Although among them, there were some who actually remembered their previous lives, they were not unusual existences.

However, the "Reincarnation Being" from another world was indeed, very unusual. Not to mention, they were usually reborn as humans. Still, I wouldn't be too surprised if you were born from a demon, but since it has been created from magic essence, I have no memory of such a thing happening before.

It was quite rare since one had a soul strong enough to survive across the world. Moreover, if it was a demon spirit from this world, instead of stabilizing and holding in the world, it would be destroyed. You are a unique case. )

(Is that so? Even though I don't really feel special. So, there really is the occurrence of "Reincarnated Beings" from another world.)

(Indeed. There is no precedent about souls from this world moving to another world. However, from time to time souls from other worlds come to this side. They are called "Foreigners", also known as "Other World People", and they happen to have special knowledge. It also seems that while crossing the world, they came to acquire unique abilities. The records detailing these things were left behind by "Reincarnation Beings" who were confirmed to have the knowledge level mentioned above. Although I'm sure there are still things that have not been verified. )

I understand now . Although I am not sure if the others also came from Earth, it might not be a bad idea to meet them. Maybe there are Japanese like me. Seeing as I have no purpose, it is okay to have at least one.

(That's it! In that case, I'll go look for this so-called "Other People. Maybe they even come from my hometown!)

(Wait now. You still can't see, can you?)

(Ah yes . )

So what if I can't see? It's troublesome, but if I walk steady and slow, sooner or later I'm sure I'll find it. Possibly

(Should I make you see?)

Ha's? Whahuh? Oi oi, is this uncle, no, "Storm Dragon Verudora" - a very good person (dragon)? Can I still hope?

(Indeed. However, there are some conditions. How's it?)

Terms ... yes. This is suspicious .. but, but,

(What conditions?)

I think I can accept most conditions.

(Simple. Even if you regain your sight, don't be afraid of me. And also, make sure to come and chat with me again. That'sthat's all. What do you think?)

Is that all it takes? Then again ... This dragon may have been lonely all this time. Is this what is called the silence of the strong? No wonder the conversation took so long. I had to be the first conversation partner for a long time. This dragon might be a bit simple-minded. No, it could be a lie about being a dragon. First of all, it's possible that dragons don't really matter in this world. This may turn out to be a good trade (laughs). PR/N: Run.

(Are you okay with that?)

(Indeed. To be honest, I have been sealed here for 300 years. From then on, I had so much free time that I was bored with my thoughts. So, do you agree?

(If it was just that, it would be my pleasure!)

(Good. That's a promise, don't forget!)

(It's okay! Although I might look like this, 'a man worthy of trust', is my reputation in my previous world!)

Although of course, that was his own guess!

(All right. There is a skill called 『Magic Perception』. Can you use it?)

(No, I can't use it. What skill is that?)

(It is a skill to detect the magic essence around it. This is a trivial skill, which only allows you to realize the essence of magic around it, making it easy to learn.)

(Oho. Looks like it'll be easy!)

(Author's note: Not at all easy!)

(Indeed. For a person like me, it was natural like breathing, so I didn't even consciously use it.)

(So! So, if I learn this skill, will I be able to see?)

(Exactly. The world is filled with magic essence. Although the density of essence was different in some places. Now, about the nature of waves regarding light and sound, do you know this?)

(Yes, light waves and sound waves right?)

(How informed. Is this knowledge from another world? Well, anyhow. First, you observe the disturbance in the essence of the magic caused by the waves, and from this indication you predict your surroundings. Simple right?)

Haa? What the hell are you saying? This person ... expects the unreasonable. How can this be called simple!

(No, uh, I feel like this might be a bit difficult ..)

(What? As long as you know this, it is possible to continue fighting even if your eyes and ears are destroyed, you know?. The surprise attack becomes useless to you. That's an indispensable skill, you know?)

(No, no, no! Putting aside the matter of fighting for now, one way or another I really want to see it again!)

(Hmm .. how else. I will help you learn! Incidentally, I don't know of any other method!)

(What-what, can you really do it !? I'm a beginner since I was born?)

(Convinced. Fortunately, do you have no memories from a previous life? In that past, you had to gain knowledge about sound and light. If it wasn't for that knowledge, it wouldn't have been possible even for myself, but you have luck!)

I saw… . It was difficult to explain the scenery in the world to someone who was blind. If I were to try to do that, I would definitely fail. Even for Helen Keller-san, the reason she was able to learn to speak was because she had learned words until the age of 2. In other words, precisely because of my past knowledge, I was able to utilize the 『Perception』 Magic skill as something like an artificial substitute for sight and hearing…. I have to do this. Can't see too much trouble. Besides, I've forgotten that I have 『Great Sage』 to rely on. I'm sure it will work for me somehow!

(Please teach me!)

(No, you don't have to strengthen yourself, it's simple, you know? First of all, try moving the magic essence using the magical power in your body.)

I can understand this. It applies a similar theory when I spout those jets of water.

(Like this?)

I confirmed that I moved the magic essence into the body, as if closing the inside.

(Hm. Against my expectations, you did quite well. Well, can you tell the difference between the magic essence that you move, and the magic essence outside of your body?)

It might be easy too. I wondered if it was a good thing, that after knowing that my life came from absorbing the essence of magic, I became able to consciously sense it.

(That's what I can understand! After eating it, it tastes like life?)

(Kukuku. If you understand that, the rest is simple. It was to feel the movement of magic essence outside of your body.)

Even though that's the part I didn't get. By the way, I tried to sense the magic essence around him as instructed to me. I could feel the magic essence swaying to and fro. Flowing and shifting ... Oh that's right, let's activate 『Great Sage』!

＜Confirmed. Acquiring Extra Skills 『Perception』 Magic…. Success＞ ＜Are you going to use Extra Skills 『Magic Perception』? YES / NO＞

Eh? I just got it? Put that aside .. but of course, it's "YES". As expected, 『Great Sage』 is very reliable!

As I used the Extra Skill 『Magic Perception』, my mind started to be filled with information. It was a huge amount of information, which I couldn't possibly process when I was human. Waves of light and sound pushed out extremely small magical essence particles. I understand all of this, turning it into recognizable information. When I was human, my front field of view was not even 180 degrees. And now, I can "see" 360 degrees in all directions, without a single blindspot. Stone shadows and even a scene 100 meters away, as long as I directed my consciousness, I could see everything. For humans, this amount of information would be too much to hold back, overloading their brains and driving them crazy. However, I'm slime. Every one of my cells is a muscle, and also a brain cell! I can somehow handle everything. Then,

My vision became clear. The burning sensation that attacked my brain faded. And then I can "see" the world. Something I couldn't do until now now felt so natural that it became mysterious. 『Great Sage』 may be a completely unfair capability. It might not be an exaggeration to call it cheating. If someone else had it, I would definitely exclaim, it's a cheating game!, but the one who has it is me. No problem at all.

(Ah, it seems like it somehow works. Thank you very much!)

Saying that, I instinctively shifted my focus to "it". It was a bona fide dragon. Covered in a scale that glittered with a black luster, it seemed to have the flexibility as well as the toughness of steel …

(God! Dragon!!!!!!)

It was a wicked form that exceeded all my expectations. Desperate screams came out of my heart.
