Ore wa Mada, Honki o Dashite Inai

"Hey, why are you in this city again?

"Why did you try to hide your strength?"

The city of Pindos, a theatrical liquor store.

In the same seat as before, I was present with Lina.

"Don't ask questions back."

"I remember my question was a long way ahead of me."

"Mmm."

You mean during the first inspection?

Sure, she's been hitting me with the same questions ever since.

"Fair enough. The reason I'm here is simple. But I need to know why you're hiding so much strength."

"... I thought you were hiding something else."

"Um, I know"

Damn, I'm impressed.

Lina replied to Eagle Deep like a royalty, but the actual nuance is close to "yes, yes, I know".

Maybe after my sister in this world, it's this Lina who's putting (,,) on my strengths.

I also know she'll be "yes, yes, I know".

I know, but that's not why I'm saying "actually -" either.

Especially now. You can't say it in front of the public.

So I shut up, I shut up.

"... Phew"

Lina looks at me with her face facing the stage for a moment.

I sighed feeling like a boy.

"Yes, yes, I know." Next, he said, "Oh man. When will I be honest?" I felt that.

"Slime Rampage"

The next day, the hall of sight.

As usual, I was duly briefed by the Mimis Below Ministries on my affairs, but somehow the keywords caught on my ear.

Slime - Slime Road.

I was curious to hear about the monster that I knocked down before.

That was correct in a way.

Mimis continued to report further.

"Yes, the slime in the Canoe family's territory has been temporarily quiet since your lord crusaded Slime Road before."

"You're saying that was a rampage?

"It's the result of losing the king in command and losing his temper."

"I see."

"What will you do?"

Mimis asked.

Don't listen to me uncommonly, I asked for details, so you asked for my judgment, not the way I planned.

"Runaway is just a slime, isn't it?

"Ha, a few seems to be a little too many, but you're not out of the slime zone"

"Then I'll take care of it"

[]/(exp, adj-na) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk)

……

In the afternoon, after the errand, I was relaxing in the garden.

In my head, Mimis reported, the rampage of slime was creeping.

Somehow, it's like bug news.

I might even say, look.

Something unusual is about to happen to me.

My mind is whispering.

I wouldn't have cared if nothing had anything to do with me, but I knocked Slime Road down a while back.

Isn't there something you can do about it? I feel that.

"... I have no choice"

If there's really something I can do about it, I can't overlook it.

Aege Meadows.

I came where I knocked down Slime Road before.

Sneaky, I could do it alone.

Without letting anyone know, alone.

Because I want to avoid being seen when I do something.

Even if I can't see it, I can't see it, but I came alone.

Walk along the meadow for a while and head to where the rampant slime was in the report.

"Oh, you're strawberry."

After walking for a while, I found a flock of slimes swarming with food.

In terms of numbers alone, it's twice as good as when you defeated Slime Road before.

but it was all just slime.

"... it's true"

Just in case.

Just in case, I made some observations.

Yeah, I knew it.

It's all here, just slime.

It's just, it's the weakest monster slime, clustered instinctively in the food the people offered to keep them away.

Besides.

"Is that... eating together?

If you look closely, the number of slimes is too high, because of the lack of food, or partly because the slime and the slime fight, and the slime that wins takes in the slime that loses - it's coming.

Because of that, the slime gradually decreased in number.

Even the weakest slime, moreover, came in self-destruction.

More and more I don't have to leave.

I walked away from the Aegean Meadows, feeling safe and doing nothing.

The next day, in the theater.

Lina, who has been present again for some reason.

I heard you. Talk to me.

"About what?

"I hear you crusaded the slime."

"Huh? No, no, I didn't do it. I..."

I answered confidently.

Yeah, I didn't do anything.

I just went to see everything.

"I have information that I have witnessed on the ground."

"Mmm."

Were they watching?

No, but it's no problem.

I can say this one with confidence.

"I didn't do anything."

"... ha"

Lina sighed.

That's a sigh I've heard.

"I know, that's what you want to do."

"Huh? No, no, no."

Lina is apparently making a huge mistake.

"I didn't really do anything, believe me"

"That's always the case. I don't think you have to hide it from me."

"No, no, that's why he said he didn't really do it"

I was in a hurry.

Lina is out of faith, I'm assuming.

I'm the one who ran off and slimmed.

The reaction is the same as before, "Yes, yes, I know."

"But I'm afraid I'm going to let you in."

"Just in case?

"There was no trace at all."

That's because I didn't really do anything.

"I didn't know you were going to erase the traces. Even impress your slime opponent if you penetrate that far"

"It's really not the same."

"... Phew"

Sigh again.

Ahead of "Yes, yes, I know," the "Oh man. When will you be honest" sigh.

"Well, the facts are facts, I commend them once and for all. Even trivial things leave on their own, as nobles, as lords exemplary."

Praised.

Lina's eyes were frightened, but she glanced at the favorable color for "what I did" itself.

"I really didn't do anything."

I pleaded, but Lina finally...

"Yes, yes, I know."

And he had me in his words.
