the following week

　We're back to take the test for promotion to E class adventurer.

　It seems that Johan-san, a B-level adventurer, will be overseeing the exam, just like last time.

Johan-san, it's a pleasure to work with you.

'Oh, uh ... well, what is it? Good luck this time.

'Yes. Everyone was pretty frustrated with losing to the slime, too. We've been training as hard as we can for the past week. Watch the results of that, please watch!

Oh, oh.

　It seems that losing to the weakest demon, the slime, was quite a response, and Yoko, Hakua, and Ryushin had entered the dungeon of the ruins in Bestieth and were training intensely.

　The other members have also been improving their own strength.

　This time, they should be able to pass the promotion exam!

　By the way, the slime that beat us last time is now in the form of little girls in the amphitheater, cheering us on from the bleachers.

　The sight of the four little girls waving their cheering flags all over the place is very empowering.

　The other one, by the way, is waiting elsewhere now. She's got some things she needs to do, you know.

　Five of them - no, they've been in human form for a long time now, so they're five (...) people.

　The five of them became the Elnor family after the last promotion exam.

　Thanks to their fully humanized form, they can talk normally.

　And probably, they are stronger than the Knight of Flame.

　That's why each party is accompanied by a slime girl when acting as a party unit.

　Moreover, they also seem to have an infinite amount of storage space inside their bodies, which is useful for storing the items they've collected.

　Since they didn't directly attack anyone other than Liuxin, they were easily accepted by our family.

　It seems that Lyushin looked up to a slime who could use the magic robe as his master and taught him how to use it, and he became friends with the slime as well.

　They are very strong, but they are cute little slime girls and have become the idols of the Elnor family.

　They act just like little girls, and it's very relaxing to watch.

　I tried to put on a pair of pants, mistaking them for a jacket, and my head didn't come out and I went 'Oh? Watching her nod her head, I thought we were both going to die of moaning.

　Every single casual action is so cute.

　I want to have a child.
　A child with Tina.

　I'm sure he's very cute.



You ready to start the test?

Oh, I'm sorry. Can you wait a little longer?

　Johan was about to start the promotion test, so I asked him to wait a bit.

'Luna, give me the example, please.
Yes!

　Luna releases her magic power.

'Damage Invalid (damage completely disabled), Ultima Power (ultimate attack power increase),'
　Ultima Magic (Ultimate Increase in Magic Attack Power), Ultima Speed (Ultimate Increase in Speed)
　Ultima Concentration (Ultimate Increase in Concentration) It!

　After reaching level 150, Luna, who has become the tertiary title of 'Spirit Master', casts supplementary magic on us.

　The attack power and speed of the entire Elnor family has been enhanced many times, and they also stopped taking damage for a certain amount of time.


''I, I'm serious this time!

　The white chalk returns to its white dragon form.


"Then I'm going to have to...

　Liuxin took on the form of a half-man, half-dragon.

''Alright. Riel, Hinata, let's do it!''
Yes, sir.
Master Liuxin, we're leaving.

　Luke and the others made Liushin wear the same magic robe as before.

　However, the strength of the magic robe was not comparable to the last time.


"I will also give my all.

　White returned to his original form - Fenrir, the divine beast.


''Then so am I.''
Let's get our mistress back this time.

　Yoko and Kikyou take on the form of a nine-tailed fox.


''Us too!''
I'll do my best, too.

　Mai and May became spirit bodies, and the spirit king Sylph changed into the form he takes when he fights with all his might.

　A mature woman with a calm atmosphere clad in the wind is what Sylph looks like when he gets serious.


''Elmia, I will support you with all my might. Don't be afraid to go.
Yeah, Seira. I believe in you.

　Elmia, clad in the armor of the Hihiyrokane, came out in front of us. Her body was covered with multiple layers of Seira's Holy Attribute Magic.


''I'll grant Merdi-san the 'White Dragon Armor'.
And my wind!
"Luca, Rifa, thank you!

　Meldy, dressed in white scales and wind armor all over her body, stood alongside Elmia in the front row.


''Master Halt.''
Oh...

　Tina will have the black blade of the brave guardian, and I will have the High Kingdom in my hand.

　We're ready.


"Mr. Johan. "Johanan, we're ready.

Yeah, well...

　I have a feeling that Johan's feeling a little run down.

　But we lost to a slime last time.

　And this time it was a slime.
　And this time, it's a slime, and it has the same body, but with a different body.

　We can't afford to lose.

　I'm going to win with everything I've got!


Well, shall we go?

　Johan threw the scroll into the center of the arena.

　From there, a piece of slime appears.

　The slime opens its mouth and...


　Something jumped out at me.

　The shape of that thing was human.

Look out, everybody!　The slime has changed!

　Well, that's not true.

　It's the only thing that can mimic the shape of other monsters, but it can't "change" its ability to use its abilities.

　Incidentally, the slime that spat out the "something" passed through my magic barrier at super high speed and now it's the fifth young girl in the audience, cheering us on.

　It happened so fast that it must have looked to Johan-san as if the slime had turned into 'something'.

　Almost everyone in my family seems to notice it, but they all seem to be reading the atmosphere.

　We're really a family that's in a good mood.


"G-Giggle...

　The "something" spat out by the slime, wobbling its legs, gets up.



Guys, this is bad!　The slime seems to have been transformed into an evil demon. And Bael is the most powerful demon under the evil gods!

.........eh....

　The slime that changed into a demon was stunned to notice us.

''Even though it's a slime, we can't be too careful.

We can't let our guard down against a slime, even if it's just a regular, unremarkable unit.

Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm doing my best!

'Okay everybody!　Let's go!

""Yes!"


　The battle for our promotion to the E class has begun, and the battle against the slime has begun.
