Slime Reincarnation Chapter 42: Let’s Clean Up After the Dungeon Overflow

I was flying through the sky at ultra-high speed using the spirit magic .

"Ababababababa!"

"Yabe, wait! Wait!!"

The spirits were chasing after .

Hm? What’s wrong?

"Big brother, you’re too fast~"

Wintia finally caught up and started complaining.

"Big brother, your magic power is way too strong~"

Sylphie just upgraded from "big brother" to "Big Brother."

"Oh my~ Irina-chan is dead~"

"Ababababa~"

Whoa! We were moving so fast that Irina couldn’t handle it.

Belhia-neesan, Irina isn’t dead. She’s just on the verge of death.

"Irina! Irina! Are you okay?"

I said, slapping her back and forth with my right tentacle.

"Habubu!"

"Oh, Irina’s eyes are open."

"...That was pretty harsh, Yabe..."

Freya looked slightly horrified.

"Well, now that Irina’s awake, let’s slow down a bit and fly normally."

"Yaaabe~ Please be gentler, nya..."

The completely limp Irina gave a limp reply.

"Alright, let’s go."

We headed off again to rescue Logan and the others.

When we arrived near Caso Village...

There was a neat row of Logan and the entire Wolf Fang clan doing a dogeza? Or rather, prostrating themselves flat on the ground... What happened?

『Boss...! We no longer have the face to et you...』

Logan raised only his head to speak.

Looking closely, the monsters had been completely exterminated.

They were torn to pieces, charred black, or shattered by freezing. Yep, the Three of the Four Heavenly Kings really went all out.

There were also many monsters that had been ripped apart. The other Wolf Fangs seed to have fought hard too.

From the looks of it, Logan and Garbo had just been watching.

The carrier pigeons were also there. Was our force overkill...?

Wait, why are the pigeons also doing dogeza? They’re prostrating with their wings like so proprietress doing a three-finger bow.

『The instructions Boss gave to the pigeons... were to kill the Orcs in as good a condition as possible to secure their at...』

Logan spoke while looking depressed.

『I’m terribly sorry. The pigeon that received the instructions couldn’t reach Lord Logan and the others before the battle began, so the ssage wasn’t delivered.』

The pigeon captain explained.

Ah, I see.

I did tell the pigeons right before they took off.

Orcs are often portrayed in light novels as having delicious pork-like at. So it was only natural for (?) to want to try so.

The orc stew in Solonarini Town was really good. I wanted to try making steak or fried orc as well. And if it tasted good, the guild would probably buy it at a high price. That’s why I wanted them killed in the best possible condition...

Well, most of them were in a tragic state now.

Logan and the others were fired up, and by the ti the pigeon arrived, the extermination was already complete.

『We failed to live up to Boss’s expectations... This Logan will take responsibility by disemboweling himself right now...』

Logan suddenly stood up.

"Idiot!"

I smacked him on the head with a tentacle.

"Gwah!"

Logan face-planted into the ground.

"Where the hell did you learn that kind of joke? If any of you Logan’s group die, I’ll be sad! Is making sad your idea of taking responsibility!?"

『Y-Yes sir!』

Their prostration beca even more severe, now looking like they were sleeping flat on the ground.

『We failed to understand Boss’s heart and can only feel ashad!』

"Logan, you’re so stiff. The main objective of this mission was to protect Caso Village by exterminating the enemy. It’s fine even if my extra request didn’t reach you in ti."

I tried to say it casually.

Logan really is too serious. He should loosen up more. He could learn a thing or two from Garbo... though Garbo could stand to be a bit more serious himself.

『Boss...!』

Logan was shedding tears of emotion. That’s why I said you’re too stiff.

The pigeon captain and the others looked visibly relieved.

Hmm, I’ll have to be more careful with my instructions from now on. These guys are seriously good people.

Still, the scene was pretty grueso. It slled of burning and the stench of blood was awful.

For now, I’ll use these monsters as evidence for the Stampede extermination report. With around 2,000 of them, it should be enough to make a proper report.

So I started throwing the monsters into my specialty subspace compression storage. The ones killed by the Three Heavenly Kings were in bad shape, but the Orcs killed by the regular Wolf Fangs still had decent forms.

I’ll disassemble them later and just take the at.

Once I finished storing them, it was ti to contact Caso Village.

"Hey~ Village chief, you doing okay?"

"Ohh! If it isn’t the Spirit-sama!"

"No, I’m not."

"My my, does your visit to the village an...?"

"Yeah. All the monsters from the Stampede have been exterminated, so it’s safe now."

"Ohh! As expected of Spirit-sama!"

"No, I’m not."

"The village has been saved! We must prepare a victory celebration right away!"

The village chief excitedly headed deeper into the village to prepare.

"Sorry, village chief. I have to go report the extermination of the Stampede monsters to the deputy of Solonarini Town. I won’t be able to join the celebration. Please enjoy it with the villagers."

"Oh, that’s unfortunate, but if it’s a report about completing the subjugation of the Stampede, you must be in a hurry. I won’t detain you. Please co visit again soti."

"I’ll do that. See you later."

With that, I climbed onto Logan and we departed for Solonarini Town.

・・・・・・

"What did you say!? You’ve already exterminated all the monsters from the Stampede...!?"

In the Guild Master’s office at the Solonarini Town Adventurers Guild, Deputy NaiSe was shocked by my report.

"Well, I move pretty fast."

Normally it would take 1–2 days on foot to reach Caso Village. On top of that, we fought and wiped out a total of ten thousand monsters, and it’s already evening. We left after noon, so I’m pretty proud of how efficiently I handled everything.

"And what about Guild Master Zoria...?"

"Ah."

"...What’s with that reaction?"

"I left him sowhere."

I laughed heartily. This wasn’t a laughing matter.

"Though I did have him confirm killing the 8,000 monsters. We received a report that about 2,000 of the ten thousand monsters had changed course and were heading straight for Caso Village. So I sent Logan and the others ahead to defend the village. I finished off the 8,000 and imdiately went to support them, which is why Zoria fell behind."

"And Caso Village is safe too, of course?"

Deputy NaiSe asked for confirmation.

"Of course. Logan and the others wiped them out before they even reached the village. I’ve collected the corpses. Should I bring them out in the back warehouse? They’ll serve as evidence of the Stampede."

"Please do."

We moved to the disassembly warehouse behind the guild.

"Go ahead."

Following Deputy NaiSe’s instructions, I started taking out the corpses of Goblins and Orcs.

Most of them were torn apart, charred black, or shattered into ice fragnts, making them hard to count.

"Well, I’ll leave the counting and disassembly to the guild."

"...Yes."

The guild staff looked speechless at the number and condition of the bodies, but they sohow managed to reply.

Just then, Guild Master Zoria returned.

"Hey Yabe, leaving behind is pretty damn cruel, you know."

Zoria imdiately started complaining.

"No, if I waited for you and the rescue of Caso Village was too late, that would defeat the whole point."

"That’s true, but you could’ve at least told . I chased after you for a bit but realized I’d never catch up, and figured you were going to rescue Caso Village, so I thought I’d head back to the guild and wait... But why the hell did you get back first!?"

"Hahaha, you’re too slow, Zoria."

"Don’t fuck with ! And anyway, you left the Wolf Fangs lined up outside the north gate again, didn’t you!? The guards were all petting them while they sat there nicely in formation!"

"Well, I thought having the whole group march through town again would be a bit much, so I had them wait outside."

"They’ve gotten weirdly popular..."

"Oh! Right. I didn’t want them to get startled by too many people. But if everyone’s happy to pet them, that’s great."

"The guards started petting them first... and then rchants and travelers passing through the gate realized the Wolf Fangs weren’t scary, so they were all getting stroked."

"I see~ This town really has a lot of good people."

I’m glad the Wolf Fangs aren’t being feared.

"So these torn-up, charred, and ice-shattered ones are the monsters from the Stampede that attacked Caso Village?"

"That’s right."

"Then with this, the Stampede has been perfectly handled!"

"Yeah. You can think of it that way."

"The town was protected..."

"Yeah, thanks to Yabe."

NaiSe and Zoria both smiled at .

Yep, doing good deeds feels great.

Ti to buy out the entire food stalls street for Logan and the pigeon captain!
