I feel......hungry......tired........there's some water? On my body?.....i'm alive? How?
Butch open her eye, as she staring at the curved ceiling.
"Where....what....the...!! aaaaaaaahh"
She was going to say where is she but she soon notice that her body was covered by slimes.
(So the water that I’m feeling is the slimes?!)
She try to take them off but it doesn't work, its just slip through her hand.
"Gah!! They just won't go away!!" Butch said while she trying to shake its off.
she get up and try to shake the slimes off, she felt the ache and pain all over her body immediately.
"Aurgh!!" Butch grit her teeth as she trying to enduring the pain.
She the notice that some of her arm was skinless, and some of her flesh is still wobble inside the slimes liquid.
The flesh then got stitch on back her wound and then the blood start flowing out, the slimes then redirect the blood back in the arm.
(.....Are they treating my wound?)
As she realised that she's getting help, she sat down with relieve, knowing that she are not in danger.
WOBBLE WOBBLE
Ten minutes have passed since she's woken up, and the slimes are not showing any sign to stop.
(I guess they'll stop until I’m fully recover.)
(But why are slimes are helping me? Slimes are mindless creature, they obviously don't have empathy or any emotion.)
(From the look of this dirt house, there must be a master that have ability to control these slimes.)
"And how long I’ve been here?" She began to thinking of question.
"Ah I’m hungry." She blurt out of bored while sitting on the straw bed.
"You better be." A mysterious voice spoke to Butch.
"!!"
Butch immediately get up as she heard that.
She saw one small creature with a slime like appearance entered the room, it was red, not transparent and have one yellow eye.
"After all, you've been here three days already." it said again.
"What are you, are you slime?" Butch asked.
"I don't look like it do I?" it replied as it sliding toward her.
“You’re lucky that you’re able to control your own mana otherwise you would’ve died.”
It said as it sliding
"Are you the one that command these slimes to heal me?"
Butch said as she point at the slimes
"Well, both your arm and leg were gone and you're losing your blood. I got to do something I’m i not?" Red slime replied.
As it finish talking he release out a wooden plate, the plate has several of fruit in them.
There were Blueberries, Apples, Plums and Cherries.
"I've collect these since first day you're here, now that's you're awake. Eat"
The red slimes said.
"Well, ummm thank you? I guess." Butch replied.
MUNCH!
MUNCH!
She's eating a fruit and not even care about slimes that were on her hand, as expected of someone who had not eaten anything for three days.
MUNCH!
MUNCH!
The eating continue for four minutes
"Augh..."
She laying herself down with a groan of pain after she was done eating without realizing it, it's within expectation because she still needs a lot of rest to get better.
"Well, then I’ll excuse myself. See you tomorrow." Red slime said as it turn away.
"......I’ll ask you tomorrow then." Butch replied.
"Fine by me" A red slime said as it slide out.
The next day
Time 10:22
Good, all my serious wound are all healed.
Butch thought as she now outside the dirt house, exercising her newly healed arms and legs according to what that red slime said.
STRETCH…
BEND…
FLEX...
As she warming up she’s also look around to investigate her surroundings.
She was inside some kind of small size stronghold, there’s a brown wall in a height of four meter surrounding the place and there’s no house or any building other than the one she was in.
As she observed more she see a slimes, not nine or ten. There were fifty of them sliding and bouncing around left and right and when she took a closer look, those slime were moving accordingly. Some of them moving toward the lake while some of them remove the sand ground and replace it with hard press dried mud, it become a stone ground.
“…..What the hell is this?!” Butch was astonish by seeing all slimes are moving in order like they know what they’re doing.
They didn’t, they just did what they had been told.
“Ah? If it isn’t our fortunate guest, you seems to be fully healed.”
A certain voice said from the distance.
“Welcome, to Slimes Verwaltung Industrie.” A red slime continue his speak as it looking around in the center of slimes traffic.
“Slimes Verwal…what?” Butch couldn’t understand what it said.
“Sorry. Its old habits, its mean this is a place that slimes are to reproduce themselves and send them off somewhere, simply said Slimes Management”
The red slimes answer.
“Where I’m I?” Butch ask.
“A Safe Zone.” Red slimes replied as it watch over the traffic.
“On that note, what really are you anyway and why are you here?” Butch ask.
A red slime stop thinking for a moment as it looking on those slimes.
And then he look back at her.
“A slimes? I guess, A king one” It replied.
(Slime King? I never know that it was even exist, are brainless slimes even need a king?)
Butch thought.
“And I’m only here because I’ve just born here though.” It continue.
“Then why only you can talk?” She ask.
“Well actually the talking ability and others are thanks to those corpse you guy left up there”
A red slime said as shrug its nonexistence shoulder, as result you’ll see it wiggle a little bit.
“What!?... You’ve been there? Where is it? Are there anyone left? Do you see somebody that are searching for me? Are th-” As soon as she heard that she began asking one after another.
“Wait wait wait! Lady!. First, yes. Second, On the North-west over there. Third, No, there only corpse left. Forth, i don’t see anyone in the past three day so no.”
It interrupted her and answer bunch of her questions.
She had complex expression as she heard those answer.
“Now, one at a time please.” A red slime said.
“I….right, it would’ve cost too much of times to find a single person that they didn’t even sure that she’s alive or not plus they didn’t even know where am i.” She sigh
As if it was she gave up on this topic, she then turn around and ask.
“Anyway, how do I get out of here?” She ask.
It then turn to look at her.
“There’s two option for you to choose” It said.
"And that is..."
To be continue <----------<
