The Naive Monster

Tttdo

Is that a slimes voice?

Indeedit did sound like a slime.

However, I felt that it was different from the slimes I had tamed.

It is!

I can hear it too!

Apparently, the slimes also noticed it now.

So it really wasa slimes voice.

All right, I want you to help me find it!

Okay!

And with that, the slimes scattered around in search of whoever was making the noise.

After a short whilethe mystery was solved.

Waitdont go

There it is.

The voice was coming from the place that the c.o.c.katrice had originally been.

When I arrived

A bird?

A single bright, bluebird was on the ground.

It was about the same size as a pigeon.

Parts of its wings appeared to be covered in the c.o.c.katrices poison.

Ah! Its Slibird!

One of the slimes said in surprise upon seeing the bird.

Were they acquaintances?

That voice Is it you, slime?

The bird on the ground asked in a weak voice.

So they did know each other.

It is! What happened?

The c.o.c.katrice caught meand was about to eat me

I see.

The c.o.c.katrice had said something about using poison to weaken and paralyze people so he could eat them alive.

It seemed that it wasnt something it only did to humans.

What an awful thing to do.

Thatshorrible!

But, Yuji will help you!

Yuji! Please help Slibird!

The slimes said as they started to surround the bird that was on the ground.

Help I suppose that meant getting rid of the poison.

Magic Transfer Cure Poison.

I used the surrounding slimes to activate the spell.

And the wing that had been purple became blue again.

The poison had been removed. Now, I had to help it regain its energy.

Magic Transfer High Heal.

I chanted the words, and then the formerly motionless bird began to move its wings.

It looked like it had healed without any problems.

Thank you That magic is amazing!

It really is!

Yujis magic is incredible!

The bird got up and flapped its wings as it talked with the slimes.

Hmmperhaps this was a chance to recruit it.

As I was thinking thisthe slimes seemed to come to the same conclusion.

And so began their attempt at persuasion.

Hey, Slibird. Why dont you join us and Yuji!

Its so nice!

Its safe and the food is so good!

The slimes surrounded the bird tightly.

And then

Okay!

It was a quick answer.

And thenthere was the ring of a bell as a window popped up.
