Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

153 A Mysterious Little Slime

—–

After Zack killed one of the mushrooms, Aquarina was swifter and attacked more directly, using her magic knife, she slashed through the other two Walking Mushrooms as waves of slicing water came out of the knife. She had become even better at this; I can already tell. The two mushrooms she attacked were sliced into tiny pieces, slain immediately.

The two mushrooms that I had set on fire were lying over the floor, they died pretty easily too. Alice suddenly notified me I gained some EXP, which was administrated into the System to reinforce it and help her repair more errors, as usual.

We had been slaying low-tiered beasts for months now occasionally, so I’ve accumulated a fine amount of EXP over time, however, I don’t know how long it will take for her to repair everything properly.

I wonder if one day I’ll be able to get out from being level 1... although I fear it might come with my endless Mana and Health being negated because my Stats won’t be frozen anymore! If that’s the case, I prefer things to be just frozen then!

“And done... That wasn’t hard.” Said Aquarina with a prideful smile.

“Yeah... Now what’s that?” asked Zack.

“Huh? Yeah, what is this?” I wondered.

what we found in the floor right in the middle of all the corpses was a... blue thing.

.....

It was a blue thing trembling fearfully over the floor of the jungle, it was splattered a bit over the floor, and seemed very weakened.

“Pyuku...”

It released a tiny little and cute sound.

It was like... how can I explain it?

I just have never seen something like this before.

It was blue and seemingly made out of blue liquid, but compact.

I guess that’s a good way to describe it?

Like a mass of blue water...

“Oh, that’s a slime!” said Aquarina.

“Slime?” I wondered.

“Was this slime being bullied by the Walking Mushrooms?” wondered Zack.

“I think so....” I said.

“Slimes are made of slime... and can eat anything... According to my mother they’re dangerous when they grow older and become very powerful... But when they’re small, they’re very weak and can die if you crush them strong enough...” said Aquarina.

“Ohhh... I guess we should kill it then?” asked Zack.

“Pyuku! Pyyuuu...”

The slime suddenly heard Zack’s words and seemingly understood him.

It suddenly extended two tentacles out of its body which shaped like hands, and tried to stop him, as if they shaped like the palms of our hands.

It also waved part of its slimy body as if it were trying to say “No! Please, have mercy!”.

It was very weakened so it could die very easily by now...

“I don’t know, it looks like its pretty weak, why would we kill it?” I wondered.

“Because Aquarina just said they grow strong enough to be very dangerous? We are better off killing it before it becomes a problem.” Said Zack.

“Wow, Zack, you’ve become very ruthless!” I said.

“Eh? W-What’s wrong with that?” asked Zack.

“Hmm... I think we should keep it... Sylphy, I can already notice in your eyes you don’t want us to kill it, right? I also kind of feel bad for it...” said Aquarina.

Aquarina! You’re such an angel!

“Okay, fine, do whatever you want with it anyways, I don’t care...” sighed Zack.

“Pyuuuuu! Pykuuu!”

The little slime began to bounce around happily. I couldn’t find any threatening aura out of it, it was simply very friendly and cute.

I got my hand closer to it, and it let me pet it and caress it.

The slime coverture was actually quite solid, as if it had a rubbery exterior, a wall of sorts that covered the slimy substance inside. It had some wounds where its slimy interior was leaking out, so that’s how they get wounded.

I suppose they’re not so different from things such as slugs, they look slimy but still got a skin exterior and all the slimy stuff is inside. It could even have muscles inside, but they’re simply transparent. i????????????????????d. c????????

However, I was able to faintly notice that it had a glowing crystal in the middle of its body. Is that its magic crystal? It looks like a very obvious weak spot... I can guess why it would be an easy to slay foe for beginners when they’re small and weaker. A spear attack into the magic crystal could easily shatter it and kill the slime in the process...

“Come on, Aquarina, pet it! it is friendly.” I said.

“I-Is it not going to eat my hand?” she asked.

“Of course! Come on! Look!” I said. I grabbed the slime with my arms and let it rest over them.

The slime seemed happy to be carried, and even relaxed itself. I used this opportunity to try to heal it, my healing magic worked, and the wounds it had over its membrane quickly closed. It suddenly gained a lot more energy out of nowhere after being healed.

“Pyyuu!”

Aquarina timidly touched the slime with her hand, and realized it was indeed very soft and quite rubbery in the outside.

“Ah, he’s slim to the touch...” she said.

“Yeah, see?” I asked.

“Come on, Zack, come to pet it.” I said.

“Eeeh? I am not petting that thing...” said Zack.

“Pyyuuu!”

The slime seemed angered to being called a “thing”, it was very intelligent to even understand the intention of our words...

Zack ultimately walked near it and petted it anyways.

“H-He’s indeed like touching something rubbery... I don’t know how to describe the feeling.” Said Zack.

“I wonder if we can keep you as a pet...” said Aquarina.

“Pyuuuuku!” said the little slime, it seemed happy to be with us.

I wonder where this little guy came from. Just some random monster? But there’s no way it is so intelligent if it is just a random monster...

“Ah, do you want something to eat?” I wondered, as I took out an apple.

“Pyuuu!”

The slime seemed happy to see the apple, its eyes shone brightly with golden light, it quickly grabbed the apple with a tiny tentacle, wrapped it around the fruit, and brought it inside of its body. The apple began to slowly dissolve inside of its body... it was a very unique way to digest things.
