Chapter 39


Avenger (S)


When I had said that Kashima Kobato had picked up the cat, I was really thankful .


A few days later, I spoke to Kashima so that I could say my thanks .


But she just looked away awkwardly and left .


That reaction of hers doesn’t seem to indicate that she hated me, not that I particularly minded it .


It’s because Kashima had the impression of an introverted girl .


Even when it’s break time, I have never seen her talking to the boys in our class before .


It’s probably because she didn’t know what to do when I suddenly talked to her .


That’s why she just left silently .


It may unexpected, but it’s possible she’s trying to call out to others from her side .


—It’s not that she hated them, but…


If she was hated by them, then that’s a different story .


Besides, she doesn’t need to hurry at all .


There’s no need for to hurry in making connections with others .


Just relax and take it slow .


That’s also what my uncle’s family had told me, and it had been firmly rooted within me .


v


I am sitting in the shade of a tree as I’m chewing on a cutlet .


I had just checked my leather bag, when I noticed that the color of the jewel had been reset .


So I decided to take a break and eat some food .


Sitting next to me is the jiggling slime .


I look at the evenly oblong “food” in front of me .


Tonkatsu-style snacks .


A flavor that I had rarely eaten this days .


I remember having eaten this before regularly back in that world .


Its outer coating is moderately crunchy .


The inner contents have a unique chewiness .


If I’m not mistaken, the inside should be made of fish meat?


There’s also the dark brown sauce poured over its surface .


I could taste its deep flavors .


There’s also a bit of sweetness in the saltiness of the sauce .


I could even feel a bit of gracefulness in its fairly crunchy texture .


With the combination of these two, they become irresistible .


My mouth had been occupied by their strong flavors .


Although the amount that I had eaten can’t be said to be that much, I am strangely satisfied .


I took out the green tea from my leather bag and gulped them into my mouth .


My mouth felt completely refreshed after the strong flavors had been washed away .


[Fuuu…]


Is it because I’ve finally reached the outside world?


It’s as if my state of mind is at peace and I could safely consume my food and drinks .


I look at the cutlet in my hand .


Just another mouthful…


[…do you want some?]


I just want to try it .


The slime curiously observed at the cutlet that I had presented to it .


Funyonyooo…


A part of its body protruded out and extended towards my hand .


[Pigi…?]


[Hmm? Are you asking me if you could eat it?]


The color of the slime’s body changed into green .


The yes sign .


[Yeah, of course . ]


I brought my hand towards the slime a bit more .


The tip of the protruding slime wrapped around the cutlet in my hand .


The cutlet began flowing into the body of the slime .


Inside the body of the slime, the cutlet began slowly melting .


Fuuuun…


So this is how it eats huh…


[Kyuuuuiiii~ ♪]


The color of the slime’s body turned into pink this time .


It looks like an expression of delight .


It seems that he quite liked it .


I did some inspection with the slime earlier .


It’s an experiment on whether communicating with it is possible .


It seems that the intentions of the words I said are being properly transmitted to it to some extent .


Furthermore, there was now a way for the slime to properly show what it wants to say .


Green means an “affirmative” .


Red means “negative” .


Pink means “it’s friendly” or “it’s delighted” .


For the time being, these three changes are the only things that I had confirmed the meaning of .


There may be other things but I don’t know what they mean .


But, this should be enough for now .


It’s a monster that could express an abundant amount of expression than I had expected .


Its intention could be expressed even if it couldn’t say any words nor show it through its facial expression .


I think I could also understand it better than humans .


Also, this slime is quite a dexterous monster .


I don’t know if I could bring a monster when I will enter a town or village .


This had been troubling me since it came along with me .


However, this problem had been solved almost immediately .


The slime could morph its body into something long and slender, like a rope .


If I keep its body under my robe, I can probably hide it .


[After that… if the town or village I’m going into had no way of detecting the presence of monsters, then this problem seems to have been solved . ]


In addition, there is also another advantage of it “hiding” under my cloak .


I stood up .


I instructed the slime to cling unto my body .


The rope-like slime started crawling up from my foot .


I could feel a fluffy feeling on my body as if I’m wearing extra clothing .


Let’s say when it’s snuggling around in the back of your neck .


And then suddenly, the slime would appear there .


[Pigi . ]


[Can you seen anything from behind?]


[Piii!]


A protrusion of the slimes extends out in front of my face .


The color had turned to green .


[Affirmative . ]


[Okay…]


If there’s something that slipped out of my awareness around my back, this guy would inform me .


Although it’s a bit sudden, but I’ve obtained a new “eye” that watches for my back .


This is the first thing that I’ve obtained that could deal with my problem with blind spots .


[It seems that it was the correct decision when I decided to make you my friend . ]


[Pigi ~♪ ]


The slime went back to where it’s resting .


I sat down again .


Actually, there was one thing I want to check out .


I take out “Encyclopedia on the Forbidden Arts”” from my leather bag .

I sat cross-legged as I flipped the page .


The slime also popped out and came to look .


[If I’m right, this should be the page where—]


I remember that time when I first flipped through the book in the ruins .


[Found it . ]


There are scribbles like these here that looks like they’re memos .


“Rather, my relationship with the slime seems to have improved . I can’t deny that this slime may have completely gained emotions . I’m troubled . Something woke up within me thanks to the cuteness of the slime . ”


[…… . . ]


The Great Sage seems to have awakened something because of that experiment .


[Putting that aside… Monster Enhancer, huh…]


This may improve the abilities of this slime .


I glanced at the slime .


[Speaking of which, do they have the concept of level-up…?]


I would like to know if they could .


However, there’s something that caught my attention .


The Great Sage “dared” to research on these Enhancers .


It may be that he’s relying on Enhancer to increase the ability of a monster because they can’t level up the same way as the Summoned Heroes .


This is possible if you think about it .


That may also be why the Enhancers had been developed .


[It’s just that… If this kind of research were to be abused…]


I groaned as I am looking through the page .


Humans that would intentionally strengthen the monsters .


I think I understand why have the Great Sage decided that this is a “Forbidden Art” .


I began reading through the rest of the page .


The raw materials used in order to make the Enhancer had been noted in here .


The location where you could acquire the materials was also noted .


It may be obvious, but there are only places noted there that I don’t have any knowledge of .


[If I want to get it while I’m searching for someone who can read the Forbidden Archives, I guess that’s where I should go huh . ]


Well then…


[I guess I should start moving . ]


[Pii!]


[Let’s see—]


I was about to call the slime, but then can’t help but stop .


[Pi?]


Its name… I need to think up of one .


It’s cry sounds like “Pigi!” .


It’s round .


[Pigimaru it is, then . ]


[Pigi?]


[From this day onwards, your name is Pigimaru . Well… I will accept if you had any objections—]


[Pigi!]


Its color changed to green .


“Affirmative”


[Piggiggiiii~ ♪]


The color then changed to pink .


Is it okay for me to think that it’s delighted with its name?


I put back the “Encyclopedia on the Forbidden Arts” into my leather bag .


Inside the bag, there are still the trash from the foods and drinks that had been transported in my leather bag .


I removed the filth on the trash as much as possible so that there won’t be any strange odors in my bag…


Well…


[–sniff…]


Is it because this is a magic tool?


It’s a mystery how the inside of my leather bag still remains odorless .


There is no strange odor in the “Encyclopedia on the Forbidden Arts” even after I had taken it out .


Though I say that, I still want to get another bag soon…


I would like the trash that had been gathering in my bag to be disposed of .


“Don’t ever litter, okay?”


My aunt’s teachings .


I want to keep the word that needs to be kept .


[I wonder if my aunt is doing well…]


She’s a good person who worries about others and yet, she’s the person who I worry about the most .


[Because of that person… because she’s always been worrying about me…]



It was at that day when I had met my uncle’s family for the first time after my parents had disappeared .


My aunt hugged the young me very tightly .


Her arms and her voice were trembling .


I thought she was angry at first .


My father’s hand was always trembling when he’s angry while he’s drinking .


My mother’s voice was always trembling when she hatefully shouts at me .


“I’m sorry I didn’t notice your plight . ”


My aunt apologized to me .


At that time, I still couldn’t what my aunt was apologizing for .


It was only later on that I knew the meaning .


My tears fell when I knew the meaning of her words .


I felt happy .


I heard humans also cried when they are happy .


It was a surprising first time that I have experienced crying of joy at that time .


v


I swung the handle of my bag over my shoulder .


The slime— Pigimaru started crawling up my body…


…and I started walking .


My goal would be to find a town or a village .


[Hey… Pigimaru . ]


Pigimaru had finally reached my shoulders and stretched out its body there .


[Pii?]


[What I’m trying to do is a very personal revenge . I might really be a boring goal depending on what you see, but that goal is very important for me . ]


It’s stupid to be swayed by the desire for revenge .


What will happen with your revenge?


What remains after you had done your revenge?


Revenge is not a good way to live your life .


Revenge is wrong .


Revenge is meaningless .


That may be the case .


Surely…


The appearance of someone who is stuck in revenge will be filled with grief .


The appearance of someone who can’t let go of his revenge will be miserable .


But, I will still do it .


For whose sake will it be?


There’s no need to ask .


It’s just for me .


It’s just for my self-satisfaction .


It’s just so that I could convince myself .


It’s just so that I could settle my own emotions .


The noble ideals of everyone can go eat sh*t .


The salvation and protection of the hero so that the world is not overtaken by evil?


That’s another story that’s totally unrelated from me .


My goal will be the end, it’s completely the result of my ego .


But, this revenge also have a justifiable cause .


My revenge would depend on me, all for the sake of my own justice .


If I were to have comrades , I would properly tell them that this journey is for the sake of my revenge .


I would tell them without hesitation .


I would tell them without hiding anything .


It would depend on them whether they leave or not .


That’s what I have decided .


[And so, this journet is just for me to fulfill such a revenge . You will be familiar with this ego of mine from now on, but— are you fine with that?]


[Pii!]


[It’s fine if you want to leave now, you know? If you want to, I won’t even complain if you wanted to leave now . ]


[Pyiii~!]


Pigimaru’s protrusion turned red .


“Negative”


[…Are you fine with getting along with my journey for revenge?]


[Pii!]


Pigimaru’s color turned into green .


“Affirmative”


[Fuuunn, I see . ]


I lightly pat the protrusion that had extended from beside my neck as I take another step forward .


[Then, I’ll say it again–]


Two failures travelling together .


[Take care of me from now on, partner . ]


[Pigii!]


Pigimaru, whose body increasingly glows in wonderful colors, cried out in response .


v


Breaking the twigs that are on our path, we advance through the woods .


This should be called the footsteps of revenge, huh…


“Revenge doesn’t produce anything . ”


[That’s not right . ]


I don’t even want to produce anything


Other than revenge, I don’t want to produce anything but that .


[As soon as I’m ready, I’ll make sure to crush them without mercy . ]


This revenge had been just for that…


–that f*cking goddess .


[I’ll make sure that I could fulfill my revenge . ]


Author Note:


This concludes the first chapter . Thank you very much for continuously reading until now . And thank you so much for keeping up with me so far .


We would also like to thank those who gave us feedback, bookmarks, and ratings . The words and feelings of “This is interesting . ” that I have received were my power to write . Thank you to all of the people who gave us their thoughts . Also, speaking of thoughts, it’s up to you to get a review . Thank you for this too .


When I was serializing the story of the disposal ruins, I enjoyed writing with the feeling of being adventurous while watching Mimori Touka with you . I would be glad if you could continue to watch over as Mimori Touka grows on his journey for revenge .


The second chapter starts about a week later . In addition, we plan to update the prologue inter-chapter in Chapter 2 before the next chapter begins . I don’t know if the next chapter can be updated every day, but if I can, I would update it in as fast as possible (sweats) .


The goddesses and some heroes are quite radical (?), And some monsters are a little grotesque . I feel that, but because of the contrast with such things, the part that shines or is saved may stand out more . It ‘s a story of wickedness, but I ‘d appreciate it if you could get along .


The postcard has become longer . I’m sorry … (sweats) .


I hope we will meet again in Chapter 2 . Thank you very much .
