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.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

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.]

<Monster Reinforcement Organization Draft・Experiment Result>

<Preparation of Monster Enhancer (Evolution Accelaration)>

<Slime → PASS>

<First experiment, success>

<Second experiment, success>

<Third experiment, success>

<No signs of any adverse effects on monsters such as aggressiveness had been observed>

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.
