Life in Another World With Narration

12 – Becoming an Adventurer

“Ububoop! “Woop!”

Meruru struggled, her face buried in her giant jelly.

I froze for a moment at the unexpected sight, but quickly came to my senses thinking that Meruru was in danger.

“Meruru!”

I grabbed her Meruru from behind by her shoulders and tried to force her to lie down on her back with all my strength, trying to somehow get her away from her jelly.

“Whoop-! Ubububbub!”

But it wasn’t easy.

Meruru’s limb movements became faster and more intense.

Clearly she is choking.

“aaat-!”

I used all my strength to get her meruru off.

Placing her feet on a nearby rock, she grabbed Meruru from behind and pulled her, almost as if hugging her.

“Ububub-! Puha-!”

“Meruru! Are you okay? Take a breath! Breath!”

“Ha… ha… hehehe… hehehe…… Main… “I thought I was going to die!”

After finally removing Meruru’s face from her giant jelly, I anxiously examined her condition.

Fortunately, there were no injuries other than some shortness of breath.

“What on earth is that?”

『Yunoa barely managed to separate her Meruru from the Blue King Slime’s body.

However, blue king slimes had a habit of living in groups with lower species of blue slimes.

The Blue King Slime, which judged that it had been attacked first, had already released pheromones to call its kind.』

“What…?” ….”

This…… Slime?

Isn’t slime a regular hunting menu item for beginner adventurers?

But no matter how I looked at this giant blue king slime in front of me, it looked dangerous.

Was it only common in games to say that slimes are weak monsters for beginners?

Anyway, one thing is certain: you have to run away from that guy quickly.

“Meruru! “Let’s run away quickly!”

“That… But! “There is a meat party under that guy every day!”

Was it something like that?

Apparently, there was Frea’s blessing beneath the ground where that Blue King Slime was standing.

“Whether it’s a meat party or a meat waterfall, it’s useless if you die! Let’s go quickly!”

“Ah… “I knew it!”

I took Meruru’s hand and started running through her bushes towards the way we came.

But before I could take a few steps, another slime appeared in front of me.

“What is this…?” ….”

It’s smaller than the Blue King Slime, but a chunk of blue jelly that’s about the same size as me moves around and blocks the way.

I had no choice but to take a detour and run to the other side, but every time I tried to take a detour, another slime appeared in front of me.

As I continued to change directions and run back and forth in a direction that was not blocked by the slime, before I knew it, the area around me was surrounded by dozens of blue slimes.

“There is no place to run to… ….”

I never thought something like this would happen.

When I came to my senses, I found myself completely surrounded.

The unpleasant translucent blue jelly lumps gradually narrowed the siege, completely blocking the escape route.

They were pushing us back to where the Blue King Slime was.

I couldn’t see a single one until just now, so where on earth did so many of them come out?

“Yunoa! What should I do? “Those guys are in a bad mood!”

Procrastination.

Meruru shouted as she saw the slimes slowly approaching us.

I looked around to see if there was any way to escape.

Slime here, slime there.

No matter how I look, there is no gap in sight to escape the slime’s siege.

But we couldn’t just sit back and let them close the siege to the end.

Yes, the opponent is slime.

I felt scared when I actually saw it in front of me, but from an adventurer’s perspective, it probably wasn’t that strong of a monster.

The blue king slime was so huge that I didn’t even dare to think about doing anything with it.

However, if there is blue slime surrounding it, something might happen.

The distance to Kubel was not that far if you could overcome it by sprinting.

In that case, if you just break through the slime blocking the road to Kubel, you might be able to escape.

“Meruru! “Let’s go through that guy in that direction!”

I picked up a thick tree branch from the floor that looked good enough to swing.

And then he rushed towards the slime blocking the direction to Kubel and hit it with all his might.

Mulkyung.

The branch that was swung got stuck into the slime’s body about a hand’s breadth deep.

However, the hand that swung the branch did not feel any impact at all.

It didn’t feel like I was being hit, but rather it felt like the slime was holding the tree branch tightly.

“Meruru is helping too!”

At that time, Meruru also ran towards the slime holding a rock from behind her.

“Hey! Wait for a sec!”

Crash!

Without me having time to stop him, Meruru hit the slime with the stone in her hand.

“aaah! “It’s a strange feeling!”

Meruru’s hand holding the stone was completely stuck in her slime’s body up to her wrist.

“Get out quickly!”

“Her hand won’t fall out!”

Meruru was in tears and she screamed.

I tried to pull off the tree branch I had swung again, but instead of pulling it out, the branch suddenly broke.

Just like Meruru earlier when she had her face buried in blue king slime, these guys grab onto anything they touch and won’t let go.

To make matters worse, other slimes were approaching from both sides of the slime that was holding onto Meruru’s hand tightly and not letting go.

Meruru struggled to get her hands out of her slime’s body, but ended up putting her foot on her slime’s body.

Soooook.

“Gyaaa! “Her foot was missing too!”

Meruru, now in a state of complete panic, clenched her fist with her free hand and smacked the slime away.

Of course, her hand was also sucked into the slime.

In the end, Meruru’s hands and feet were all captured by the slime, except for one foot that was on the ground.

“Hey! “Stay still!”

“Wow!”

“Erraaat-!”

Just like when I pulled her away from her Blue King Slime, I grabbed Meruru from behind her as if hugging her and pulled her back with all my strength.

Then, little by little, I felt Meruru’s hands and feet being pulled out of her slime.

Is this what it feels like to pull a person out of a very thick swamp?

As she was struggling to pull Meruru out of her slime, she felt something cool and squishy on the back of her head.

I looked back slightly, and before I knew it, another blue slime was close enough to touch the back of my head.

Slime next to you, slime in front, slime behind you.

It is literally a slime prison.

At this point, there was no point in pulling Meruru out of her slime.

The slimes were like a wall trap coming from all directions, sandwiching me and Meruru and slowly trying to swallow us whole.

“uuu! It is not to be missed! “I can’t move!”

“Meruru…… Sorry.”

No matter how hard I tried, there was no way to overcome this situation.

I felt the slime slowly sticking to the back of my head and back.

Meruru was also on the verge of being swallowed by the slime that was squeezing in from the front and both sides.

Does life in this world end here?

It may be my fault for being too greedy.

I had a premonition of the end, so I hugged Meruru tightly from behind and closed my eyes.

Meruru’s warm body temperature felt on my body was a little bit of comfort.

I’m sorry, Meruru.

For no reason did you follow someone like me… ….

Oh my!

It was then.

The viscosity of the slime that was slowly swallowing me from behind disappeared with a sharp sound.

When I opened my eyes and looked back, the slime behind me collapsed like water.

“Haaap!”

A young man with a sword appeared from nowhere and began cutting down the slime surrounding us one by one.

Every time he swung his sword once, the slime’s body split in half, lost its viscosity and collapsed like water.

The slime that was holding Meruru also instantly turned into a puddle of water due to his strike.

“Erraaa!”

The young man holding the sword did not stop and rushed towards the remaining slimes.

The Blue Slime that had built a siege network must have sensed a crisis and began to lift the siege and gather in front of the Blue King Slime.

Then the young man lowered his stance and drew back his sword as if he were cocking his gun.

“Orenryu Biggie! Three meals! “White man slash!”

The young man’s sword swung wide horizontally.

A sharp sword energy swirled along the sword’s path, cutting down the gathered slime in one go.

Even the Blue King Slime, which seemed like it wouldn’t budge from any attack, was broken horizontally in two and collapsed.

All the blue slimes that had filled the surrounding area disappeared without a single one left.

“Are you okay? “Where are you injured?”

The young man who destroyed the slime came straight up to us and asked about our condition.

“Ah… it’s okay. “Thank you for saving me.”

“Eubububububu… ….”

Meruru still couldn’t come to her senses.

I helped Meruru, who was losing all strength, and thanked the young man.

The young man said with a refreshing smile.

“Let’s go back to the village together. “I will escort you.”
