I found it!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After searching with Mr. Druid but not finding him, I asked Sola and Flem and Sola popped on top of the moving bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And the next moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Pssst!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In a panic, I removed Sola from the bag and checked inside to find a black slime staring at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It would have been quicker if I had asked Sola from the beginning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry I couldn't talk to you yesterday."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Phew."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Can I ask you to come out?　Shall we talk?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The black slime already seems to be in good physical shape, unlike Sola and Flem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When he steps out of the bag, he jumps around as usual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

However, because of its small body, the distance it travels is not very long.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I kind of want to cheer him up when I see him jumping around so hard with his small body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Phew?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The black slime that comes out of the bag and looks up at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I made you some tea, would you like to talk over a cup?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid had the tea ready before I knew it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I thanked him and then held out my hand in front of the black slime.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He understood what I meant and jumped on it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We've got some time before we have to go to the dump, so let's take our time and talk."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Put the black slime on the table.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I sit down and watch him for a bit, and he is very interested in the cup of tea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's hot, so it's dangerous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He glances at my words, but quickly looks at the tea in his cup.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then, something long and thin came out of the black slime and dipped into the tea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Phew!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was hot, apparently.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He immediately took it out of the tea and swirled it around to cool it down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was worried about the burn, but I was also concerned about what he was swinging around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"............ hand?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"............ tentacles?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I thought it was a hand, but Mr. Druid seemed to think it was a tentacle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I mean, slimes don't have hands or tentacles, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?　Is there?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Mr. Druid, is there a species of slime that has tentacles?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I think there was a reference to them being around a long time ago."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Old literature?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How big is it, by the way?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not sure I'd go that far. I wasn't interested in slime at the time."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Too bad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But still, old documents.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder if I can look it up somewhere?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But still, she's definitely a rarity, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Tentacles?　There is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Um, are you okay?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Phew."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Stare at the black slime.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What Sola and Flem have, this girl doesn't.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There are no marks on it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's because you haven't done it yet, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I may not have told you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Um, I think this baby was probably born out of Frem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is that so?"　Just like Flem was born out of Sola?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Maybe." Because the black spots on the flem are gone."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Phew!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The black slime squeals at my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It looks so happy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Am I saying this is the right answer?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I have a feeling that's the case."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That black stain on the flem~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid stares at the black slime with his face close to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then he looks at Flem, who is lying on the bed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I wonder how a black stain could turn into slime?'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I never thought about it. I thought it was something like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The first time I tamed Sola, she gave birth to Frem, so I thought slime was a demon that multiplied in that way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I asked the druid about it, he said, 'No,' and I was quite surprised, so let's get back to the story.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When Frem was born, he already had the mark of a Taim.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is that so?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes," he said. So I thought that if a new slime was born from a tamed slime, the tame would take over. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No matter how many times I look at the black slime, there is no tame mark.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Surely it doesn't have the markings, maybe because it's the second generation?'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see, so that's the idea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

To be sure of this, Flem should stop thinking ...... again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Black Slime, may I tame you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Does this mean you don't want to do this?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you prefer freedom, that's fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't think she wants to be a tamer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You sure?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, you could use force to keep them down, couldn't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I won't, will I?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hold them back with force?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If we tame them in that way, it will be difficult for us to understand each other like Sola and others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even if we could, it would take time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, that's what Ivy would say.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Shall we release him into the woods then?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?　Not this one either?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Will you stay with me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Phew.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm, do you want to travel with me?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Phew."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't like taming, but traveling together, a new form of companionship.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, if we're going to travel together, first we need a name to call it by.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Can I give you a name?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Phew."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ah, you're forgiven.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Mr. Druid, shall we come up with a name?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ivy was Ivy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Isn't that obvious?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Ivy's just trying to be nice, even if you look at me with such a strange look on your face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Really?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid often says I am kind, but he is kind too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder what would be a good name for a black slime or ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look at the black slime and see that it is extending its tentacles into the tea again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's cooler than before, so it probably doesn't burn anymore, but does it like water?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

More importantly, I need to think of a name, let's see, black ...... black?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure this is my previous memory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Somehow I don't like it a bit, and then there's 'Sol'.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The earth?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The sun?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess it's a previous memory, but it's vague, but Sol?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't care if it's the earth or the sun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... earth for a palm-sized slime?　Or the sun?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Might be good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How about "Sol. It seems to mean either the earth or the sun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sol?　The earth?　The sun?　Oh, you remember Ivy from before?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yeah.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's a big name for a little slime.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, but what about the name Sol?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Phew."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Pulling and shaking and waving wet tentacles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Whoa."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, no, don't swing that around!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

P?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't swing it around when it's wet because the water on the tentacles will fly around you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, Ivy. Shouldn't you be telling me not to dip my tentacles in the tea there?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'............ hehe.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, you were right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm glad you like my name, Sol, and I look forward to working with you in the future."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sol, say hi to me too."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Phew."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The tentacles extend straight up as if to say yes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's kind of a nice feeling to have a nice reply back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sol, while you're at it, don't put your tentacles in my tea, okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

............"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can't."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You don't have to look so disgusted. I mean, this Sol has quite an expression on his face too."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I agree. Yes, Sol, will you ever grow up?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No reaction means that he is an adult at this small size?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We'll have to be careful, because if he gets in anywhere, he'll be hard to find.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What does Sol eat, potions?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I've never seen a black potion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

At any rate, I'll just say the trash I see at the dump site in order and see what happens.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I try to present them in various ways, but they don't respond to any of them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What do you eat?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The druid's expression becomes troubled.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'We need food, don't we?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Phew."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can't think of anything anymore, so I check to see if they need food.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The answer was, of course, yes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What should I do, Mr. Druid? What else do we have?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ahhh, let's just go to the dump and see how Sol is doing."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmmm, that's a good idea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm thirsty.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, Ivy. That tea!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I drank it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I drank the tea Sol was playing with.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, it will be okay.
