Chapter 40
Just like me. Thrown into a corner of the forest, attacked by monsters, running away, getting hurt—
“………………”
Without thinking, I spoke to the Miracle Slime.
“…Wanna come?”
“Mu!”
The Miracle Slime hopped and leaped into my chest.
“Hey, the footing’s unstable…”
As I picked it up, the Miracle Slime wiggled happily.
“Alright, I’m putting you down.”
From then on, the Miracle Slime followed me around as I gathered food. And eventually, it even followed me back to the cave.
“…Well, no helping it now that you’re here.”
“Mu!”
It hopped and let out a cry. I decided to name this Miracle Slime “Muu.”
Sitting down on a fur mat, I spread out the food from the basket. Rainbow Fruits, Momoinoshishi meat, Southern Fruits—Muu scurried over to each one, trembling with excitement.
“Let’s eat together.”
I cracked open a hard Southern Fruit with a rock and offered the soft inside to Muu.
“!”
Muu enveloped my finger with its gel-like body as it ate the Southern Fruit. My fingertip tingled a bit. I tossed a Southern Fruit into my mouth too. The Rainbow Fruits would last a while, and I planned to dry the Momoinoshishi meat.
“Anyway.”
