"I command the roaming water spirits to use their spears to pierce my enemies.

　The spirit chanting spun by Yoshiki Koganei (a high elf) works on the spiritual elements that dwell in all things and transforms the laws of this world. The spear created in the air is thrown straight at the head of a huge crocodile in front of me. The crocodile-shaped monster's scream echoed through the passage.

''Hmph!''

　The stiff arms of Goubayashi (Ouga), who rushed out next, seized the crocodile's jaw from above. Holding it in place, the monster's massive body, which could be 10 meters long, slowly lifts up. The crocodile moved its limbs with a jiggle, but once it was like this, it no longer had any meaning.

''Now, Sacchan!''
Sakuma!
Uh, yes!

　Koganei and Kunihiro Ryuzaki (Dragonoid) call out her name one by one, and the succubus, Sakuma Shoko, begins her magic chanting.

　Apparently there is more than one type of magic in this world. Koganei, an elf, uses spirit magic, but many of his classmates, who are able to use magic because of their reincarnation, use a magic called black magic, which works on the truth behind the scenes of this world.
　They hadn't been taught by anyone, but they were able to use it naturally. It must be their instinct as demons. They were reborn as a race, just as people walk, birds fly and fish swim, and they had the instinct to use their magic at will.

''All things turn to dust, right arm of the Heaven-Shattering Demon King, Hammer of Doom!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!

　It was about the same time that Goubayashi deflected his upper body and struck the crocodile with the capacity of his German Suplex, and Sakuma activated his magic. A black mass rained down on the struck crocodile's head, causing its massive body to disappear like dust where it had collided with it. Ryuzaki let out an impatient voice.

''Wait, wait, wait!　Sakuma, this means we'll have nowhere to eat!
Oh, that's right!　Stop!　Stop!

　Sakuma managed to counteract the falling black ball while desperately bouncing his body. Koganei couldn't help but look away as the area around his chest shook violently. Ryuzaki didn't even have the wind to care, and Goubayashi didn't even look at him from the start.

　In its place lay the corpse of a crocodile whose body parts had turned to dust.
　This much would be enough meat for several days. There is a way to freeze the meat to prevent it from going bad, and the food supply problem is solved for the time being. Sugiura would not have to cook his own octopus legs.

"Ryuzaki-kun, Goubayashi-kun, are you okay...?

　Sakuma rushed over to him, preparing his recovery magic, but they both shook their heads.

'No problem.'
Yeah. But it's a bit of a quandary when you get to this point. We'd better take a safety margin and let the search end here.

　They all nodded at Ryuzaki's words. He was almost useless in battle, but he still had a solid voice in these situations.
　Goubayashi tied the corpse of the crocodile with a rope, and Koganei cast a wind-attribute levitation spell to carry it to the base.

''Sacchan, you're getting stronger, aren't you?''

　Koganei smiled and spoke to Sakuma, smiling.
　He had been reclusive at first, but lately he was gaining more and more confidence. Likewise, he seemed to be concerned about Sakuma, who had been pulled up from the bottom of the class all at once.

''Yeah, I guess so. Yeah.........''

　Sakuma doesn't seem embarrassed, he just looks down with a less than sunny expression.

'You'll be stronger once you get used to using your magic.
'Yeah...'

　Although there was a difference between spirit magic and black magic, Koganei was the best wizard in his class, and Sakuma was second only to him. The last few explorations that took place over the past few times also served as training for Sakuma's magic. Even Koganei naturally felt the power of the game, but in no way did Sakuma's expression clear up.

''What's wrong?　'Suddenly,'
No, it's nothing...

　Sakuma shakes his head shakily, but here, without reading the air, Ryuzaki turns around.

'Sakuma must be curious about Utsurogi.
What?

　Sakuma looked up, unconsciously. Koganei's expression faded quickly.

''........is that so?''
What. Koganei, you didn't know that?　I'm a class officer, so I used to watch you a lot. Sakuma has been talking about Utsurogi for a long time...
Wait, wait!　Hey, wait a minute, Ryuzaki-kun!

　Succubus Sakuma's white skin was turning brighter and brighter red. Every time he raised his hands and protested, the two breasts, still covered with thin leather cloth, twitched and swayed. Koganei's expression became more and more cloudy, but Ryuzaki didn't seem bothered at all and laughed, ''Haha,'' he said.

''Come to think of it, Koganei likes Rin, doesn't he?''
Eh....

　Koganei sounded as if he had been hit with a false sense of humor. Ryuzaki was in a cheerful tone, looking ahead.

'You were watching Rin the whole time on the bus the other day. It's a good kid. There are some bad rumors about her because she talks to all the boys without discrimination. I don't think she's dating anyone right now. Just be careful, you know. He's very guarded, you know. As a matter of fact, I got dumped by a guy too.
Uh, yeah...

　Koganei glances at Sakuma and returns a live reply. Just as Ryuzaki is about to say something more, Goubayashi, who was dragging the crocodile along, raises his voice

Hey, guys, don't waste your breath. We're a long way from our base.

　A crisp, noncommittal voice.
　Perhaps Goubayash must have correctly seen through the minds of everyone present. That's probably why he decided it was not a good idea to let Ryuzaki speak any further.

'Oh, oh. I know, Goubayashi.

　Ryuzaki nodded and shushed him. Sakuma breathed a sigh of relief, but Koganei turned his somewhat hinted gaze to Sakuma still.




''Himemizu, why were you in this place?''

　When Kyousuke finds Rin, he sits down and asks her that.

　Formerly one of the three most beautiful girls in the class. The ace sprinter of the track and field team, Himemizu Rin is now a waterslime. What's more, she's a "useless" like Kyosuke and Ei. She may be sluggish in her movements and has a certain amount of strength, but in the end, she's of no use to her class.

　I guess she couldn't stand to be in that class anymore, either.

'I understand, Himemizu. It's painful to be called a grain crusher, isn't it....
Kyousuke, I'm pretty sure it's not.

　As Kyousuke crosses his arms and says sullenly, he gets a tsking from Hikino Ei (Wisp).

''What, it's not. Then why are you........''
I can't run...

　Rin said to Kyousuke, who was scratching his head and shaking with a plop.

'Can't you run?'
I can't run!　Me!　I loved running like that!

　Kyousuke huffed.

　The fastest girl at Kamishiro High School, Himemizu Rin. Her fastest time in the short-distance race is tied for the top spot in the prefecture. When interviewed by the newspaper club, which was trying to find out the secret to this, she had answered that she loves running more than anything else, so it doesn't bother her.
　That dignity is the slime.
　If he moves sluggishly, he has no legs.
　No matter how much I wanted to, I couldn't run as fast as I did then.

　When I learned that Rin, the beautiful girl in my class, had turned into slime, the whole class let out a cry of disappointment. But in fact, wasn't the one who was most shocked by the fact that she had turned into a slime was none other than Rin herself?

''Can't you make use of your indeterminate characteristics to make legs?''

　Ei asked from the side, and Kyousuke nodded. But Rin shuddered in denial.

'You know what?　That's what I was going to do first.
Mmm-hmm.

　Kyousuke straightened his posture and nodded repeatedly.

'But when I try to stand like this...'

　Whoa, Rin transformed vigorously. A "slime girl" like you sometimes see on picture sites. It would look like that. The blue-ish, sludgy texture was still there, but it had changed into a human silhouette. The figure doesn't look anything like the pre-reincarnation Rin, but the lack of clothing clearly shows the lines of her body, which still makes Kyousuke feel a bit of a shock.
　However, it's only from the waist up that he's in human form. The rest of the body is like a puddle. Rin pulls her arm to step on it and says, ''Yeah! 'Oh!' he exclaimed, pulling his feet out of the puddle.

'Oh!'

　Even Kyousuke couldn't help but marvel. In front of him, a slender slime beauty with a model's body appeared in front of him.

"Yikes!

　Thud.

　But soon, as if he had lost his strength, he fell apart.

''It seems it's hard to maintain a shape that defies gravity.......''

　Rin let out a sigh while looking completely depressed and popping up.

''It's only a couple of seconds at the most, and I can't run...''

　That the class's leader, Himemizu Rin, would make such a dreary sound.

''Himemizu can be depressed sometimes too, can't he?
Oh, my God. I'd be depressed too.　I'm human......... Oh, I'm not human now.
It's like he's always had an inexhaustible supply of energy...

　At Kyousuke's words, Rin twisted her whole body with a 'hmm'. Is it like tilting her head? Even though he became a slime, the richness of his emotional expression did not change. It was a big difference from the same indeterminate monster, Ei.

"Tuna, they say that if you don't keep swimming, you'll die.
Hmm?
I think I'm tuna.

　With that, Rin transforms into a fish-like shape. 'Tuna, or rather, this is a goldfish.

'I'm going to run, so I'll have more energy, and with that energy I can run again!　You know, like, right?
So, Himesui can't run or he'll die?
I could die...

　The words sounded so serious and serious that Kyousuke couldn't help but blurt them out.

''What!　What!　I'm serious!　Whoa!　What the hell!
No, I'm sorry. I just didn't want Himemizu to die.
Okay, come up with a better idea that will get me running.

　The goldfish turned back into slime and protested, tapping and tapping. It's a slime that shakes a lot. You want to touch it a little bit, but will it really be s*xual harassment? Kyousuke had never even thought about touching Himemizu Rin in his human days, but the fact that his opponent is now a slime has lowered the bar oddly enough.

　I gave it a peck.

"Hee-hee!

　A cool blue color rippled through the air, making Rin's whole body bounce.

'Utsurugi-kun, where are you touching me!
What? Where have I touched?
'I don't know!　I don't know, I don't know, it was kind of an amazingly sensitive spot!

　Phew, Rin's body swells up to about 1.5 times its original size. She's really rich in emotional expression.

''Perhaps the slime's entire body is a sensory organ. Maybe not so much while moving, but they become very sensitive to unexpected stimuli from the outside.''

　Ei explained. Is that so? While listening away, a voice leaked out at the same time as Rin's, 'Heh.

''But what a great idea for running...''

　Kyousuke poked at Rin's surface once more as he said that. This time it was not an 'unexpected' stimulus or didn't seem to be that surprised, but instead, it latched onto my finger. When I pull my arm as hard as I can, it stretches out with an 'unnion'. It's funny, like a cake or gum.
　When I stand up and look at it, Rin still doesn't leave me. Instead, she was slowly lifting her whole body from the bottom to the top, trying to wrap her right arm around Kyousuke's right arm.

''Himemizu, dude, you're playing with me like a cat.
Uh-oh.
Don't let your words turn into slime, either.

　That said, Kyousuke doesn't want to force Rin to pull away. There is no way to solve her problems. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　But even so, if you can, you want to be "useful" to her.
　It's not just a matter of time before you're ready.

　It's a good idea to be able to use it to help the class, at least one person, Himemizu Rin, to do something about their troubles.

　When I was thinking that, looking at Rin, who was trying to wrap her whole arm around him, Kyousuke suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Hey, Himemizu. You, isn't that posture painful?
What?

　When he tried to take human form earlier, he said it was difficult to maintain his gravity defying form. Even now, it seems to be close to that.

'Oh, these things. I'm fine with it!'

　Rin climbed down from Tapon and Kyousuke's right arm and crawled up the large rocks that were getting closer.

'If you do it like this, or lean on something, you'll be totally fine. And so, like this...

　Two sleek, model-like beautiful legs stretch out from the slime stuck to the rock.

'So it's like putting your hands on a rock, but you can walk like this. It's like a baby holding onto a wall and standing up...'

　The way the legs sprouted from the slime and tumbled about was a bit of a thing in appearance, but it was certainly "walking". I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you.

But after all, I can't run as fast as before with this...
'No..... That's it.

　Kyousuke muttered to himself. Rin made a curious sound.

''Heh?　What is it?　What?
There's a plan, Himesui!　Good idea!　Leave it to me!

　Behind him, Wisp Ei, whose expression is still completely unchanged, floats around in a huff. Seeing that he doesn't interrupt, he must have guessed Kyousuke's thoughts. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. What, I don't care.

I'll be your rock!




''Oh, oh......... Oh, oh.........

　Rin's voice was overcome with emotion.

　Kyousuke was now surrounded by Rin. Not in a weird way. It might mean weird if you look deeply into it, but for now, he's literally physically wrapped up in it now.

''How's that, Himemizu? Isn't your stance hard?
'Yeah, I'm fine!　It's so much easier!
Yeah, well...

　It's more of a painful or strange feeling for Kyousuke, but she never talks about it.

　A great idea that I came up with for her to want to run. The idea was for Kyousuke to become Rin's "skeleton". The skeleton body is fleshed out with slime like putty. Rin's body (nukutai) is able to ride on Kyousuke's body (cockaku) while forming a human form, so it doesn't take that much strain to maintain its shape.

'You've thought about it, Kyousuke.

　Ei said as he floated in a huff, too.

　The current Kyousuke is the most disgusting creature in the world, with a translucent liquid body on top of a skeleton. No, it's not just Kyousuke, but Rin as well, so is it disrespectful to her to dismiss it as disgusting? But this would look like a human being in the middle of being preyed upon and digested by the slime from the side, wouldn't it?

　Now, how much can the body move? When I tried to stretch out my arm, I felt a strange, sticky sensation, like my body was being pinched.

Hee-uh-uh!
"Whoa!

　Kyousuke straightened up as the winning voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

''Hi, Himemizu!　Did you touch something funny again?
Eh, hmmm..... It's all right..., huh?

　Her voice was somewhat shaky as she answered that. It makes me feel strange, or rather, it makes me feel like I'm doing a strange thing, doesn't it?
　No, by any chance, is this a strange thing to do...?

"You just surprised me, you know... Okay, move...
Oh, well...

　Once again, he gently reached out his right hand. This time, there was no resistance. I could see Rin swaying her movements to us, snuggling up to us, stretching her whole body.

''Amazing..... That's amazing, Utsurugi-kun!''

　Rin said in a hushed voice. Perhaps because of the close proximity, it echoed cancerously in my head.

''Don't yell in my ear...!
Oh, I'm sorry!　But I'm kind of happy about it!

　You don't even have to bother to say that. She sounds like a child in front of a new toy she just bought. She really is the type of girl who expresses her emotions. I felt a sense of excitement as I listened to her voice.

Let's walk, Utsurogi-kun!
Oh!

　It was at that moment when Kyousuke was about to take a step forward with his right foot.

''Oh.''
Yikes!

　His legs didn't move as they should and only the center of gravity of his upper body shifted. Unable to regain his broken balance, Kyousuke had too much momentum and fell down. At the same time, Rin's body, which was wrapped up in her entire body, also falls to the ground with a crash. With both hands on the ground, I felt a little awkward.

''Since we're walking together, I guess it's like a tripod. It's going to be hard to move if we don't breathe together.''

　Ei's voice is a cool one. Even though he's a wisp. Even though it's a fireball.

''I'm kind of sorry. Himemizu........

　When I apologized with the thought of letting him expect it all the way, Rin quickly grabbed Kyousuke's arm. If you look at Rin, who was shaking in small increments with a plumping motion, you could tell that she was excited even without an expression on her face.

''Unn!　Let's do it again, Utsurogi-kun!
Himesui....
Oh, my goodness, it's amazing, Mr. Utsurogi!　I never thought my body would ever be able to run again!　It's all thanks to Mr. Utsurogi!

　The moment he heard those words, the tension that had been tense in Kyousuke's mind seemed to be softly eased away.
　The uncomfortable feeling I've been feeling ever since I came to this world was dissolved at once.

'Let's run, Utsurogi-kun!　It feels so good to run!

　Rin didn't hesitate and clung to Kyousuke's body. Slowly standing up, Kyousuke's body (Kokaku) gets another body (nuktai) called Himemizu Rin. I felt uncomfortable earlier, but the second time, her body, which is cooler, is literally comfortable to my bones.

　Rin's words echoed directly into her head this time.

'Utsurugi-kun, let's combine!　Let's combine and feel good about it!
You don't know what you're talking about.
Oh....

　Perhaps realizing his own gaffe, Rin goes silent as it is. It's surprisingly ubiquitous.
　Is she embarrassed? Kyousuke felt the slime body wrapped around his entire body become warm and warm, and he was completely dexterous, Kyousuke thought.
