Chapter 124 - Facing Unexpected Situation (1/2)

”So, this is the slime that you tamed, huh?”

Said Ria while she was poking on the slime jelly-like body, it was somehow soft to the touch but still can't quite catch up to that softness from the White Tiger. The slime bounced up and down on the spot reacting to her touch which attracted her desire of wanting to pet it, which she did.

”Haa..ha... Yes.”

Sheila replied while she was under heavy breathing. When Ria had seen a slime suddenly appearing out of nowhere, right in front of her, she subconsciously moved her body towards it while her fist was ready to be swing down upon the slime, if she had not stopped her, it would not just be the slime that would get hurt from such attack as she would bring the building along with that.  Was she traumatized by the slime? But I had seen her first few battles against the slime and she seemed normal to me, or did I saw that wrong? If she showed a sign of that, I would have come straight to her but because I didn't see any of such a sign, I thought she was fine and even lucky to be able to beat a slime with her old and weak stats.

Anyways, Sheila personally took the hit as although it hurts a bit, her vitality was much higher and tough which makes it that her health generated much faster than before. Though it's not to the point that it went beyond abnormal, it was simply a bit faster than a normal human's. Ria came to her sense when her fist was stopped by Sheila, while also surprised at how strong Sheila's grasp onto her fist was. Although Ria didn't believe in Sheila's word just yet, Sheila showed her by petting onto the slime as if it was some sort of pet instead of the monster that she'd actively hunting it down to exterminated their life.

Her guard lowered when she gives a few hesitant pokes toward the slime and seeing as it didn't respond as she had expected, she asked such a question to Sheila while continuing on petting onto the now adorable little slime. While she was petting onto the slime, Sheila suddenly brought a question regarding the slime.

”By the way, that slime, it was still unnamed. I haven't come up with one just yet, do have any in mind?”

”Heh~ then... how about Slimy?”

Cough Cough!

When Ria give a name suggestion for the slime, Sheila couldn't help but choke on her breath at her naming sense. She had thought her naming sense was the worst yet, a comrade was it?

”H-How about another?”

Ria took a moment to ponder as she tilted her head to the side.
