Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 63: Children and the Spirit

We moved to a different place.

To the deepest room in the labyrinth – divination room.

Before arriving in this room, we first passed through a spacious empty room.

A footpath one meter wide and twenty meters long led from this room to a round scaffold five meters in diameter.

What scaffolding is made of what I do not know; it seems to spread through the room.

"okay? Stomp on that floor and summon a spirit! 」

「What should we say?」

「Whatever you like, really. Helpme! Or, let's play!

Interested spirit will definitely appear before you 」

「... will they really come?」

"They will! Sensei, they will, right? 」

"Will they?"

The children looked at me with anxious faces.

Well, I think it'll be fine. If no spirit appears, I will make it appear.

"…Hey you! You make a scary face! 」

「Hmm? No problem, no problem.

Hey, kid! Don'worry. It's gonna work! 」

If they don't show up, all I need to do is call them myself.

While I would not mind spirits who are able to think to appear – we can talk to them in that regard, I prefer the non-living.

That is, in that case they can obey me without hesitation.

「Because I'm coming. 」

「... Well, I think it's okay. It doesn't matter to me how many people go, but narrow. So, since you came, it might be best to bring one child at a time. 」

Hmph. It might also be a good idea to summon spirits for each of them.

Wh why? There may be some adult negotiation involved.

But anything goes as long as we can avoid negotiations with our fists …

"Good! One person will leave at a time. Who was the first? 」

Then, we decided on the order.

First will be the oldest Gale.

Then Alice.

It is followed by Kenya and Ryouta.

And end with Chloe.

They quarreled about it, but were ultimately satisfied with this order.

Let's finish this with .

The quiet room.

Without a sound to be heard, it was enveloped by a dim light.

Only our footsteps echoed along it.

「Sensei, if anything happens to me, please take care of them. 」

Don't be so formal.

He's too uptight. Without a word, I rubbed his head.

We have reached the circular space.

It is designed with an optical illusion that makes you feel as if you are falling.

But, 『Magic Perception』 clearly saw the scaffolding there. Transparent glass? Acrylic fiber or what?

I stepped on it while slightly surprised.

But Gale was trembling in fear,

「Do not worry, there is a platform here. If anything happens, I'll save you. 」

I said, after a long time decide for myself.

Shamefully and carefully,

He continued to the center

「Okay, it's okay! I'm looking forward to the words you choose! 」

Ramiris.

And after he patted her on the head, he closed his eyes and began to pray.

Kneeling, as if praying to the gods.

I crossed my arms while observing this.

After some time had passed, droplets of light began to fall from the sky.

Like snow.

And, before us at the altar, one person.

Gale noticed this and continued to pray.

Nice work! It's success.

Natural non-living energy mass. It looked like a mass of magical energy, but it was just a mere imitation.

Can it get ego? Like the Veldora cave, this place was filled with natural energy.

If the unconscious self might disperse, then come back together to give birth to a new spirit.

Then, without hesitation, I ate the spirit.

「Gale, keep praying!」

「A-what's that! What have you done?!"

「Ramiris, shut up for a minute. I have a plan. 」

Quietly, I called 『Sage Awesome』

After reading my intention, start the calculation. And after finishing it, it began to change the spirit.

Announcements. Spirit transformation using 『Sage Large』 has been completed.

Contents now mostly from 『Earth』 Attribute Capabilities

Furthermore, after analyzing the fire giant Ifrit, a pseudo-human personality had been created.

Corrective ability of unique skill 『Great Sage』 has been added.

Are you going to give this power to Gale Gibson? [YA] / [NO] ≫

I put my hand over Gale's head, pick YA, and give him strength.

Through this, the contract with the spirit would be completed in a single moment.

After analyzing Gale's condition, I confirmed that the rampaging magical energy was now at peace.

Of course, his aggregate energy was still much higher than normal children.

It was the result of spiritual energy and magical energy offsetting each other. Now, as he continued to grow he would probably be able to acquire many abilities.

"Operation succeeded!" I thought in my mind, and shook hands with 『Sage Big『 – mentally, of course.

I mean, I've never seen what it looks like and don't know if it has any shape.

「Yup, all done! Nice work!"

I told Gale.

Doesn't look like he's in pain or anything; he just quickly looks at me.

I'm nodding.

「You're fine now. The collapse has stopped, I guarantee it! 」

With a face full of tears,

「Sensei, thank you very much !!!」

He bowed.

While hiding my shame, I patted her on the head, so we rejoined the other children.

Everyone was very happy to know that we had succeeded. But, we're just getting started.

It means nothing unless everyone is saved.

「Prepare yourself. We will celebrate when everyone is saved! 」

They were reminded by my words and nodded.

Let's move on to the second one.

Next up is Alice.

He said that he was afraid of walking on the path, so I took him.

Chloe and Alice seem to have had a fight about something before, but maybe it was just a children's quarrel.

Without a care in the world, I picked up Alice and walked towards the room.

I hope everything goes well this time.

Under my supervision, Alice bowed to pray. Holding her hand tightly, holding her skirt.

After waiting for a while, light began to fall from the sky like before.

When the spirit appeared on the Altar, I ate it.

Ramiris looked like she wanted to say something, but I completely ignored her.

I got used to this for the second time.

Announcements. Spirit transformation using 『Sage Large』 has been completed.

Contents now most of 『Legal Attribute Capabilities

Furthermore, after analyzing the fire giant Ifrit, a pseudo-human personality had been created.

Corrective ability of unique skill 『Great Sage』 has been added.

Due to its excellent affinity, it merged with 『Shadow Step Step and evolved into『 Spatial Transfer 』.

Are you going to give this power to Alice Rondo? [YA] / [NO] ≫

It seems like my abilities have evolved after coming into contact with spirits.

An unexpected event.

I gave Alice the ability.

Oh, by the way, 』Barrier Sp has turned into Spacial Barrier, but I can't give it to Alice. I wonder if the connection to it is just bad or something?

Well, it was a skill that he could acquire by himself one day.

「Alice, very good! You're fine now! 」

I lifted him into my arms and said.

He smiled and kissed my cheek.

Oi oi, a precocious child. I mean, should I be happy to be popular with a seven-year-old?

Well, I'm happy.

Remember — I am a gentleman, not some perverted lolicon.

"Thank you!"

He bowed in thanks, and we went back to the whole group.

When I dropped him off, he started fighting with the furious Chloe, but I think it showed how close they were.

I went back to the round room with Kenya.

Now I feel confident. Everything went well.

There are three left. In the worst case scenario, I had planned to summon the spirit myself and give it to the children, but there was no need for that.

I'm glad there are only three left. Changing spirits requires surprising energy.

I need to be able to manage three more.

When Kenya started praying – I mean, she hasn't even closed her eyes – light started falling from the sky.

Whahuh? It was a much larger mass of energy than the one that appeared for the other two.

And there stood a human-shaped spirit – a boy.

"Yes! How's life? I am good .

I felt like coming, so I did! 」

And say a casual greeting.

「Ah, ahhhhh !!! You, why did you just come to someone's house uninvited! 」

Ramiris, his eyes widened, asked that of the spirit of the child.

It seems like they know each other.

To my question, without waiting for Ramiris' introduction,

「O ~ su! I am the spirit of light!

Unlike the descendants of the pitiful and fallen dark spirits, I am a pure spirit! 」

He said .

After introducing ourselves, we continued the discussion.

Kenya, in a panic, looked at us. Stop, already.

After listening to our story, and maybe maybe because Kenya has a good inclination towards light …

「So, I decided to help Kenya!」

Is that what happened?

In general, the spirits of light and dark have the highest social standing, and are the highest spirit level.

It seemed like he was also able to provide heavenly protection to the heroes. First, Ramiris and he were supposed to do that together, but that rarely happened.

「The last time we blessed a hero together was ... what? Two thousand years ago? 」

That's what he said.

After Ramiris got bored and decided to become an evil spirit, giving heavenly protection became his job.

Discussions were futile, but it seems Ramiris had inherited his "self" from previous generations.

She used to rule as a fairy queen, but after reaching a peak of power where she could not advance, she decided to part ways.

And for each of these cloned children he gave a feeling about himself.

So, when they grow up they may be able to surpass the original. Their weakness is their weakness during childhood.

A race that constantly struggles to grow from weakness.

Among all the demon lords, only he had such hereditary abilities.

A random outburst of anger is expected from the selfish Ramiris, but their relationship can be described in just one horrible – word.

Doesn't it seem like most demon lords are selfish? Can't say everything like that, but so far …

「So, until Ken-chan grows up, I'll protect you.

Maybe, Ken-chan, you can even become a hero! 」

Saying so, and without waiting for permission, he entered Kenya.

Too soon the Kenyan body is completely stable.

「Sensei ..」

「Hmm? No problem . All according to plan! 」

Whose plan! I'm retorting to myself; just remember, I'm: if you let it go, you lose.

Everything went well.

Although Kenya seems to doubt my words, she believes the fact that her condition is stable.

After returning to the entire group, he explained the situation himself.

Somehow, he seems to have matured.

Next up is Ryouta.

What kind of spirit will Ryouta be summoned by the weak? It would be bad if he didn't show up, I'm worried.

As before, he bowed to pray in front of the altar.

He walked down the narrow road alone. Seems pretty excited.

Now, what's gonna happen?

Immediately, an emerald light fell from the sky which attracted thousands of helices.

Before anything strange could happen, I ate it.

According to the analysis, it is water and wind. The spirit of two elements! You've done well, Ryouta.

The rest is up to 『Sage Big』.

Announcements. Spirit transformation using 『Sage Large』 has been completed.

Content is now mostly 『Pasan』 Manipulation Ability and 『Transformation』 Ability

Furthermore, after analyzing the fire giant Ifrit, a pseudo-human personality had been created.

Corrective ability of unique skill 『Great Sage』 has been added.

Due to its excellent affinity, it has fused with 『Kloning』.

Trying to evolve into 『Quantum』 Manipulation. Failed .

Are you going to give this power to Sekiguchi Ryouta? [YA] / [NO] ≫

Cloning is something that is very difficult to use without the support of 『Sage Large』.

So, even if I give it to him, he probably won't be able to use it. Well, whatever.

On that note, 『Quantum』 manipulation huh? I don't know what skills can be done.

First of all, can it teach me the basic concepts of skills? I would be happy if it could! If I investigated the concept, I might be able to replicate the effect.

Unlike this world system that people learn with magic – magic, my abilities are much more unreasonable.

That is, if I explain the concept behind the deep skills to 『Sage Big『 it could create a system to make it usable; well, what is impossible is impossible.

Maybe that's why evolution failed.

In any case, I managed to give the spirit to Ryouta.

So, only one person remains.

The last person, Chloe was so scared to walk there, so I took her.

He's very happy.

He lied about his fear.

「Umm, sensei,. . I ... I love you !!! 」

Red in his ears, he said to me.

I like it too. If he chooses, of course, to say the same thing after eight .. not ten years.

I wish I had such a problem in my past life …

A miserable existence, not a day together with a girlfriend, a miserable man.

However, as a result I was able to get a great wonderful 『Sage Skill. So this is fair trade.

But how good. The kids are very honest.

It's something they can only do when they're at school.

Well, after high school they are often embarrassed to say anything.

But it's never too late for me. I mean, if something never even starts, it shouldn't be too late.

But let's forget about me for a second. Unfortunately, I became a little confused after hearing his words.

Now, what kind of spirit would he call.

He was the last. Not a time for failure.

Like everyone else, he bowed to pray.

That's when everything started to change.

Should I call it that …? For example, something fell from the sky.

An oppressive aura, and a beautiful girl with pitch-black hair.

It had spirit that was not in keeping with spirit.

Is he an astral? Leaving his flesh and living as a mass of energy.

Rather than a spirit, he was emitting some form of soul energy. At this rate, he'll disappear.

To prevent his wastage, he needed something to bind his soul, or to reincarnate into a certain body.

Without the body, we need to create some system to keep it here.

Which is not simple even for a high-level spirit …

That girl (?) … The angel suddenly saw me and grabbed me. And locked his lips around mine.

Unfortunately, as a ghost, it has no texture. Too bad.

Very pretty girl, even if she's a ghost .. I never would! I mean, what happened ?!

The heavenly maiden, with an expression full of disappointment, moved to touch Chloe.

"Stop!!! I won't let you! I'm not going to let you do as you please!!

Suddenly, Ramiris raised both of his hands, preparing to fight.

Unlike his mediocre appearance, his eyes were completely solemn for this time.

A black light covered her hand which she shot towards Chloe. I jumped in front of Chloe to protect her, and it seeped into my body.

"Destruction" instant death magic .. Hard to believe, but he seriously intended to kill her.

「H-hey! What is it for! 」

"Shut up!!! He's dangerous! Did you not see ?! 」

"Not me?! What is dangerous? 」

While we were busy arguing, the heavenly girl overlapped with Chloe and disappeared.

Quickly, I verified Chloe's status. The collapse has stopped.

No problem, right…?

「Ooooo! Mous! Very late . I gave up .. I don't even care anymore! 」

Puffing his cheeks, Ramiris shouted.

Don't know what just happened.

「That's why I asked ... what is it?」

Ramiris did not respond to my question.

Chloe opened her eyes and was completely unaware of our worries.

When I asked again,

「I don't know! I don't know at all, though,

But, it might be something born in the future.

Something that comes from the future, and not the spirit.

Did she have that girl to give birth to herself?

Ahh …. . I don't know !!!

But, it was something very powerful.

If it was born in the future, it would cause a lot of trouble.

That was the first time I saw such a creature. That ... maybe it is the spirit of time .. 」

Hmph.

Don't look at me. I gave up trying to understand.

Well, whatever. Chloe's fine.

There is no point in considering a future that we have no control over right now.

「Good to you, Chloe! You can also avoid danger! 」

I said, lifting him up in the air.

Chloe smiled happily.

Ramiris, staring at us, could only sigh.

「Well, I think it's okay. There is nothing more I can do since the time he had the girl .. 」

He said, and turned away from us.

「I think everything will be fine. Chloe's fine and everything.

By the way, thank you. Thanks to you, the children are safe! 」

When we returned to the group I thanked Ramiris.

The kids thanked him.

「Ba! Enough already! 」

His face was red, he was trying to let go of the shame.

This is the demon king ... what will happen to the world?

The other fairies flew next to Ramiris to create a beautiful scene.

To bless children who avoid that terrifying fate …

To light the fire of happiness in their hearts.

And of course, smiles are formed on the faces of children.

So I can save the kids.
