Chapter 17
Chapter 17
In gas,specific monsters can beco companion monsters .
Since there aren’t any monsters in the beginning, I start off by looking for monsters, but they do not readily co out .
I thought that there would be a monster if I went near the 『Fountain of Sli』, but I arrived without eting a monster at all .
“What is that sli?”
There was a reddish sli at the 『Fountain of Sli』 . The common sli is transparent, this one is not .
This strange sli had defeated a goblin .
When I found it the goblin had more than half of it’s body devoured by the body of the sli and the rest of it’s body is covered in sli .
The silhouette of the goblin was gradually becoming shorter and had already shrunk to about 30cm in total length .
It is bigger than a common sli, whilst saying that the sli dragged the goblin’s body as it assimilates it, It started to move slowly .
“A 『Mutant』 sli huh? Maybe it’s because of that sli there aren’t any monsters in this area . ”
I confird the monster’s status whilst Amy says so .

******************************************
The status is not as large as Amy suggested . If it’s just this not only a sharp wolf, but even a group of goblins can defeat it .
However this is a 『Mutant』 monster with a skill . It may have a special attack thod .
Normally I should not approach it carelessly . However with the timing this 『Mutant』 sli appeared .
When I noticed I changed Ayla’s job to Demon Trainer .
I don’t understand what type of job Demon Trainer is or what effect the Demon Trainer skill has, but the change of job seems to have a higher success rate .
“Ayla, make that monster a companion . ”
“Eh? A companion?”
“I think it should be possible to use a skill to make it a companion . ”
“U…Understood . ”
Ayla faces the the Mutant sli alone . I prepare myself to help imdiately if needed .
The sli is vulnerable to fire and magic . Because I’ve yet to try magic, I light a torch .
The sli seed to notice Ayla . It began to move toward Ayla slowly .
When the distance between the two beca approximately 5m the sli suddenly stopped moving .
Ayla considers the sli with an serious face . The considered sli slightly jiggles .
The stand off continues for about 10 minutes . Ayla suddenly raises up her right hand and the slis bodies expanded in response .
Was it a failure? Ayla lowers her arm and we take a stance as the sli begins to move .
Ayla waves her arm up and down several degrees and the sli answers it .
It’s a very strange scene, but it seems to be following Ayla’s instructions sohow or other .
“Ayla did it work?”
“Yes master . This child is listening to what I say . ”
It’s a success . It seems Ayla and the sli are able to communicate .
A common sli which sprang out of the fountain of sli was made a companion as a trial for [Demon Trainer], but it was only able to follow simple orders and did not have the intelligence to understand what it heard or communicate .
Because I didn’t have a use for the sli I decided to feed it to the gluttony sli . As it took in the sli it’s colour beca lighter and it’s volu slightly increased, but returned to normal imdiately . Where did the increased amount go?
Because I didn’t want to call it sli forever, I decided to give it a na .
“Well, what kind of na is good?”
Because it is a gluttony sli is Gula fine?
“Because it’s a sli, Sula is good . ”
Amy gives her opinion . It’s simpler than mine .
“How about Ruby because it’s a beautiful red sli?”
I decided on a na that was cosiderably more proper than our opinions .
“Your na is Ruby, best regards Ruby . ”
Ruby seems to understand what we’re saying . Its body jiggles frequently when it’s happy . Its intelligence is awfully high even for its status .
As expected its body jiggles when Ayla touches it because she’s recognised as its master, but it also jiggles when Ayla or I touch it .
Even if I touch Ruby, Ruby seems to understand our intent and adjusts its body’s viscosity so that my hand isn’t swallowed inside its body .
It’s interesting, but I don’t know whether it can beco a war pontential yet, but it ate a goblin so lets have so expectations there .
As I thought about it I rembered that there were no monsters in the area . Amy thought Ruby was the cause, but I wonder what the real reason is?
“Ayla please ask Ruby the reason why there are so few monsters here . ”
“Understood . ”
Ayla began to talk to Ruby who was held to Alya’s chest .
Hearing the story, Ruby was not involved with the disappearance of monsters . It seems Ruby was born after an increase in the number of slis near the spring and because of the disappearance of other monsters Ruby began cannibalaism .
Then why did the monsters disappear? We seem to be cause . As a result of continually coming to this forest and hunting during this month, the monsters in the area seem to have been killed or run away .
This forest is unbelievably large . According to the stories it seems it would take a person more than a week to co out the other side on foot .
It is caused by us hunting monsters here which do not have a subjugation request recently . The surviving monsters seem to have migrated by the ti we passed the town guards .
It’s possible Mimic Orc that were near Wereo may have been lured into coming here from sowhere else by the monsters’ migration .
According to Ruby’s words, I ca to understand the recent large movents of monsters and lost goblins occasionally coming to the spring . After so consideration, it beca known as the massive migration of monsters .
“Is the annihilation of monsters near town bad?”
“I don’t think you need to worry about that . Even if there is a temporary decrease, a perfect extinction is almost impossible and once the migration ends, the number of monsters will increase again and may return to this area . ”
Monster reproduction is very quick . Goblins seem to take two weeks from birth to beco adults . the fertility of monsters seems to be several tis that of normal creatures even if they aren’t goblins .
For that reason it seems the number of monsters in the area will imdiately increase and recover .
“I think they’ll be killed at any rate and it isn’t a problem if a monster is missed . Work for adventurers isn’t only monster subjugation and they are basically vagrants . If there isn’t enough ga they’ll simply move on to a different town . ”
Is that also the case? The mosters won’t go extinct because of the demons and demonlord . In addition Amy told that it was because magic power overflowed in this world . Temporarily decreasing the numbers isn’t a big deal .
“Is it alright to bring Ruby to town?”
“A demon trainer can enter town with a monster companion . ”
Is that so? Then demon trainer is finished for the ti being . What should I change my ‘job’ to next?
Using 【Job Changer】I try changing my job to 『Magician』 .

*******************************************
There seems to be no change in my status and skills . I thought I would surely get the skill『Fire magic』 . When I concentrate my thoughts on 【Sage in the making】,
*******************************************
Magic list MP 315/315
*******************************************
There is MP, but it seems there is no magic yet
For the ti being let’s test various ways .
“Fire, Thunder, Water . ”
I cry out various things, but there is no result .
Ayla is speechless . Amy,
“What are you doing?”
says directly .
“I intended to use magic”
“Why did you shout to use magic?”
“You don’t shout?”
“I don’t shout . ”
They don’t seem to shout for magic in this world .
“Magic is sothing you learn by training . ”
“Isn’t there an incantation or magic circle?”
“I’ve not heard of it . The rank is divided according to how much much one can manipulate an attribute . Oh, I think there are people who do various things for ntal concentration . ”
In other words, there is neither an incantation and nor does there seem to be a magic called ‘Fire Ball’ . There are people who practice making fire like a ball, manipulating the fla and throwing it at the other party .
It seems appropriate to call it ‘Fire Ball’
“What do you do for training?”
“In the case of training fire magic you manipulate your magic freely through the fla of a candle . ”
With water a pail of water is used . The part of manipulating magic through the thing you wish to manipulate appears to be the sa .
This is special training for when I return . Because there was an indication of MP in the list of magic, I should have magic power itself .
“By the way, what can a 『Priest』do?”
“『Priest』can perform recovery . They’re able to detoxify and remove light curses . ”
“What is the difference from 『Shinto priest』?”
“The person necessary for a party of a adventurers is a “priest” . There is a slightly limited amount of curses which can be removed . A “priest” couldn’t remove my “curse” . ”
“Ah, Is that why you asked whether I was a 『Shinto priest』?”
“Yes, Because I didn’t have the money to ask a 『Shinto priest』 to remove my curse . When you beco a 『Shinto priest』 you get a position at the church . ”
In other words, is it that 『Priest』work as adventurers to get a high level so that they can beco 『Shinto Priest』and work in the church? .
It is different from my original world . If I’m not mistaken 『Priest』 are Buddhist and 『Shinto Priest』follow Shintoism . Well this is talking about Japan at least .
I change my job to 『Priest』 using【Job changer】 . After all the skills do not increase . Perhaps it’ll be added to the magic list of 【Sage in the making】from now on like magician .
“Do you know how 『Priest』 trains?”
Is it training or is it study in this case?
“Because『Priest』study is not to be leaked to outsiders, I do not understand it in detail .
It is an important source of inco . Oh, perhaps it’ll be the sa as magician . I send magic power into the thing I want to manipulate and operate it and the more I do this the better it’ll beco .
“Alright, for the ti being I’ll stop . Let’s gather so dical herbs as we return to town this ti .
It probably isn’t night yet, but it will be sunset soon . We’re in the forest so it’s already dim . By the ti we arrive in town is will be completely dark .
“Yes, understood . ”
“After all I did not et many monsters and we lost montum because it was our first campaign as a party . ”
We returned to town with Ruby .
