It Suddenly Starts to Glow
Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
One day, while Leon was spending his days steadily completing requests in the town of Libert,
“Sura? What’s wrong?” (Leon)
『I feel a little uncomfortable~』 (Sura)
Sura was listlessly lying down.
““Sura-chan…”” (Arc/Iris)
The twins were looking at her with concern.
Could it be some kind of illness? However, there were no signs of any abnormal status effects. Even using recovery magic didn’t heal her.
““It’s glowing…”” (Arc/Iris)
“Huh?” (Leon)
Hearing the twins’ words, Leon suddenly realized. Indeed, Sura’s body seemed to be glowing.
In times like this, it’s faster to ask someone knowledgeable. Tamers are unpopular, but there should be a few among adventurers. Maybe there’s someone among the staff who knows about it.
With that in mind, Leon carried Sura and headed to the guild. At the counter was Maria, who had been assisting them frequently lately.
“Ah, Leon-kun. You came at the right time. Actually, the guild master—” (Maria)
“Forget about that, Sura is in trouble.” (Leon)
Interrupting her words, Leon placed Sura on the counter.
“She suddenly started glowing a moment ago. Could it be some kind of illness?” (Leon)
“This… Could it be evolution?” (Maria)
“Evolution… I see.” (Leon)
Maria said, “Monsters can evolve. I’m not sure of the conditions, but I heard it from a Tamer.” (Maria)
So that’s what it is, Leon understood.
“That’s amazing. Even though she’s a slime, there are few Tamers who have evolved a monster. You must have really worked hard raising her.” (Maria)
At that moment, Sura’s glow slowly started to subside.
“It’s turning red.” (Leon)
Sura’s body, which had been green up until now, was now completely dyed red.
Sura
Species: Red Slime
Species Level: 1
Strength: A
Endurance: S
Dexterity: A
Agility: A
Magic Power: A
Luck: A
The species had changed to Red Slime. It was exactly as it looked. Her stats didn’t seem to have changed much from before evolution. However, since her level was now 1, it seems she can grow stronger by leveling up.
“A red slime… Could it be, a Red Slime…?” (Maria)
Maria stood up from her chair and took a step back.
“That’s a very aggressive and combative type of slime! And it’s much stronger than a regular slime, some individuals are even difficult for A-rank adventurers to handle!” (Maria)
Monsters with aggressive personalities tend to show more variation in strength. Just like humans, their level tends to rise faster.
“Be careful, Leon-kun! There have been cases where a tamed monster starts to rebel against its Tamer after evolving…” (Maria)
Soon, as the glow completely faded, the now-red Sura said.
『I feel full of power now~』 (Sura)
She happily shook her body as if in delight. It seems that Sura was still Sura.
“Is there anything else unusual?” (Leon)
『Mm~? Nothing special~』 (Sura)
Sura jumped up onto Leon’s head, her usual spot.
“Looks like she’s fine.” (Leon)
“Seems like it…” (Maria)
Maria let out a relieved sigh.
“Ah, right. Leon-kun, actually, when you arrived, the guild master asked me to bring you to his room.” (Maria)
“The guild master?” (Leon)
Wondering if he had done something to get summoned, Leon tilted his head. At any rate, he couldn’t refuse, so he followed Maria to the guild master’s office.
“Guild master, I have brought Leon-san.” (Maria)
“Ah, good work.” (Dinba)
On the other side of the desk sat a kind-looking middle-aged man. He was short and chubby, with a fine beard on his chin, but he didn’t exude much authority. His name seemed to be Dinba.
“So, you’re Leon? Hmm, you really don’t seem like an ordinary child.” (Dinba)
“Yes, but my achievements speak for themselves.” (Leon)
“However… I still don’t think it’s right to make you an advanced adventurer. Even though you say you defeated a Goblin Lord, after all, it’s still just the highest-ranking goblin, right?” (Dinba)
Maria briefly wore a “What’s this guy saying?” expression, but quickly regained her usual calm and responded.
“Don’t underestimate goblins just because they’re goblins. Especially the Lord, even A-rank adventurers would struggle with them. And they lead a large number of goblins, so it would be impossible to defeat them without forming a party.” (Maria)
“So, that’s it. A monster that is difficult solo, defeated solo. No matter how you think about it, it’s strange.” (Dinba)
“…Then, Guild Master, just how do you think it was subjugated?” (Maria)
“Isn’t it to ask that that I called you?” (Dinba)
Dinba’s gaze is directed toward Leon.
“Didn’t you have someone help you?” (Dinba)
“Sura and the twins also fought.” (Leon)
“No no, just a slime and children, aren’t they?” (Dinba)
Maria corrects him.
“No, Guild Master, as you can see, it’s a Red Slime.” (Maria)
“Red Slime…?” (Dinba)
“You don’t know…… and yet you manage as Guild Master?” (Maria)
“You say it so clearly. But I’m supported by capable subordinates, you see.” (Dinba)
“…It’s those subordinates who are being burdened.” (Maria)
“Hm? Did you say something?” (Dinba)
“No, nothing.” (Maria)
Though Dinba tilted his head, again his gaze turned to Leon.
“So then, really, did you fight with just you all? You didn’t get someone’s help? I won’t get angry, so it’s okay to say the truth.” (Dinba)
“It’s the truth though.” (Leon)
Apparently, Leon was being suspected.
“…Actually, Maria-kun is insisting you should be promoted to B Rank or above immediately. But as the Guild, we can’t approve promotion so easily. To become C Rank usually requires more than a year of experience. Let alone B Rank, that’s the face of the Guild. Naturally, things other than strength are demanded.” (Dinba)
“I understand the Guild Master’s assertion. Then, if immediate B Rank is difficult, how about starting with promotion to C Rank?” (Maria)
Maria, having thought of that from the start, smoothly presented a compromise proposal.
“He not only defeated the Goblin Lord, but also has the achievement of subjugating the Queen Tarantula. For C Rank, that alone should be sufficient.” (Maria)
“Queen Tarantula huh…… that’s what’s suspicious really……” (Dinba)
“Then, Guild Master. Are you saying Henriette is lying?” (Maria)
“N-no, I didn’t say that though…… hmm, C Rank huh……” (Dinba)
“…Please don’t hesitate over something like C Rank.” (Maria)
“No no, even so, you see.” (Dinba)
While Maria wanted to have Leon promoted immediately, the Guild Master wanted to observe for a bit longer.
“As you can see, he’s indecisive.” (Maria)
“Eh~, I’d like it to be called cautious there.” (Dinba)
As for Leon, honestly either was fine. Because he didn’t have much interest in Rank. Anyway, as things stand, it didn’t seem like any conclusion would be reached. Arc and Iris, perhaps because they were bored, had been giving big yawns for a while now.
Leon said.
“Can you call me after it’s decided?” (Leon)
