Chapter 20 Edge

 

It was early morning when I woke up . Whether it is a habit of a slime or after reincarnating but waking up itself is comfortable . It was terribly hard to get up and get out of the futon, it was a pleasurable to able to get up and refreshing .

 

Mira is sleeping while being wrapped in a blanket . It may be my imagination but I feel like her expression while sleeping is somewhat soft . I wonder if she is dreaming something good .

 

I cannot tell if the Butcher is still awake in his corpse like state . Is it necessary to sleep in the first place?

 

“Oya, good morning . ”

“Oh look, you were awake?”

 

The butcher noticed that I was awake and turned its face here . The face of the skeleton even overnight is unchanged .

To wake up easily is hard .

 

“With a refreshing expression . You look like a different person from that of yesterday . ”

“Because I was resolute and faced a difficult situation . ” (TLN: Japanese saying: 腹括ったからにはやるしかない . Cannot do anything because my abdomen is tied . I am bad at these things orz)

 

In fact, there is no other way to express it .

 

“I see . So I will speak with you immediately after this . . . . particularly the change that did not happen . Just as before please continue to evolve while acquiring your skills . ”

“Oi oi, what do you mean nothing . ”

 

What happened to the story as an upfront investment .

 

“Because as of now it is best for you to get stronger . This bleached bone does not have the meat that has the capability to raise you a few levels higher, the number is limited, it would be most effective to use it later . And yet, it is a privilege to see you in your first steps . ”

 

In short it means that I am short on power as I am now . Could it be, that I do not have enough levels for me to deserve eating the meat .

 

“Of course I would provide information regarding the conditions of evolution  and such . As a merchant, that is . ”



“Well fine . There is no choice but to leave it up to you, complaining anything wouldn’t change anything wouldn’t it?”

 

If the butcher abandons me, I don’t wanna think of anything right now and do what I have to do . The butcher through his action is showing me his usefulness, there is no choice but try not to be abandoned .

 

“For now, I shall finish off the matter with Mira today . Even if you say today, I do not have much time in the first place . ”

“That would be reasonable . ”

 

I am going to wake up Mira since an objective from now has been decided . I am sorry if I wake you up so early in the morning but I cannot afford to wait forever .

 

Mira took a long time to regain consciousness even though her body was already awake, I decided to make a bow for a short while yesterday .

Once Mira regains consciousness I promised her that I would make the medicine,   

 

“Ho, is that true!? Thank you very much!”

 

She lowered her head as a gratitude without doubting what I said . I felt guilty as we had thought of abandoning her, I told her to raise her head in a panic .

 

“I am not saying that I am doing it for good intentions but I have a purpose too . That is why you do not need to thank me . ”

 

Actually it is true, Mira seemed to misunderstood it as me being humble and thanked me some more . I feel that I was quite trusted compared to yesterday but it may be just my imagination .

 

Well, it could be my imagination as I do not remember having done anything special .

 

We would not solve any problems even if we talk at this place so we decided to head over to the village with Mira’s guidance .

In the middle of it all we encountered a group of group of goblins but were instantly killed, there was no level up .

 

Nevertheless I wonder how many goblins there are in the area as we kept on encountering them . Although it is a habitat according to the butcher’s story but it is unusually active so far, is there some sort of a cause?

 

Even though I was really interested but the answer does not come out . We advanced smoothly while encountering goblins several times and soon arrived to a point where we can see Mira’s village .



 

. . . . it may be just my imagination but I have a feeling of deja vu as I had a feeling that I remembered something . No, there is no way .

 

It does not feel like it is an actual deja vu as it feels natural that I have seen this village before . The village where I delivered the 2 lost children, it was the village which Mira is taking us .

There are not many villages like this nearby, if I think about it I cannot but say that after all I understood it since I have passed through it .

When I asked her about the name of the child,

 

“Alice is a cute girl with the same blond hair as me . I do not know the details, she was found collapsed all by herself, so what of it?”

 

I received the answer . If coincidences overlap then it may be good to believe that our fates are related to each other .

 

Nevertheless, when I helped her she seemed fine, did she receive poison from that point on?

 


She was alone, to think she went to that dangerous place all by herself . She did not seem like a lost child, it was as if she was in the forest on purpose, is it possible that she went out without permission?

 

At any rate, I will meet those children that I parted with again . Life is something wherein you would not know what would happen .

 

I shrunk to the limit and hit out on the tool bag that Mira had since there was no reason for me to go out normally .

 

The Butcher will wait for me in front of the house with a concealment ring . It is a useful item that allows you to be invisible .

By the way I did not use the ring because I do not have a finger, don’t make me say it .

 

Mira who finished her preparations walked slowly . You cannot judge the contents of the bag in relation to the sound and vibration .

Like that I stayed silent for a while, Mira comes to a halt and makes a knocking sound on the door . Apparently we came to the intended house .

 

“ . . . . yes”

 

The voice was not Mira’s but it would seem to be the house owner, it was strangely dark . I understand that she is exhausted from the words alone . Well it is natural since her daughter is dying .

 



“It is Mira but, could you open it? I got the medicine!”

 

Dota dota ♪♪♪ You can hear the hectic footsteps and the door opening vigorously .

 

“Mi, Mira-chan, is what you said a moment ago true!?”

 

It was a woman’s voice, is it the mother? It changed completely from the loud voice earlier .

 

“Yes . But detoxification is a matter of time so we can talk later, for now let us treat Alice-chan . ”

“U, understood!”

 

In addition the footsteps and the shake became intense . Dangerous, I know it is unscrupulous under these circumstances but I seem to have motion sickness .

Fortunately the shaking subsided and the mouth of the bag is opened . I’m saved, apparently it was my turn .

 

I returned to normal size once Mira took me out of the bag . There was only Mira and Alice sleeping in this place as planned . Apparently she was able to do it well .

 

“No one will come in since I told them that the method to produce the medicine is special and cannot be shown . ”

“Nice move . Well then, let us start without delay . ”

 

It is not a lie what Mira said that victory lies with time . There is a possibility of time being accelerated in some cases depending on the child .

 

“Fu~”

 

I placed the tip of my tentacle on Alice’s wound . I heard the optimum cure from the Butcher and it all depends on me whether I succeed or not .

 

Concentrate, concentrate your consciousness to a point . I cannot afford a mistake since it may turn into another poison and we would not be able to make another restorative drug within that day .

 

Then a liquid ooze out from the tip of my tentacle, one, two drops fell into Alice’s wounds .

The effect was dramatic . The color of the skin surrounding the wound which has been discolored black, disappeared everytime a drop falls .

 

“Was it successful?”

 

It looks like it but I cannot be relieved . Mira is touching Alice’s body and makes an examination .

 

Then,

 

“ . . . . thank goodness, everything is alright now . ”

 

I was feeling worried but that single word gave me feelings of delight . Apparently my actions were not in vain . I am satisfied with that alone .

 

That instant, me and Mira completely relaxed . And the Butcher who was waiting outside has not seen this place . In other words, it means that it became an opportunity .

 

A momentary carelessness, the price was huge .

 

“Welcome back, Mira onee-chan!”

 

At the same time the door opens in full vigor . I did not have time to hide .

 

It was later understood, that even though Mira told the parents not to enter the room but the younger sister who was taking a nap and did not pay attention thought that it was alright to enter . Without a doubt that the parents were not aware if she wakes up with this timing, furthermore being accustomed to hearing Mira’s voice you would assume that she came to this place .

 

My eyes and Mina’s eyes matched . While everyone stopped moving as if time has stopped,

 

“Ah, a slime!”

 

I quickly closed Mina’s mouth, Mira then proceeds to closing the opened door . It did not take even a second .

 

Now what should we do, with this .
