Chapter 6— Garbage Cleaners!
The rough man was surprised that a newborn slime already had a name, but he didn't think much of it as he placed him on the ground and went to name other slimes.
------
The moment the woman entered the field, Slime#47 rushed towards her and leaped at her.
"Hgg#&&$," she said with a grin, catching him with her hands.
She took her dagger and—whoosh!—whoosh!—sliced his body.
He closed his eyes, expecting severe pain, but felt nothing except a slight burning itch which vanished in a few seconds, as his body was reduced to 10 cm.
[ Ding!
Took a critical hit!
Vitality reduced!
Vitality: G+ — G- ]
'Damn it,' He didn't know that his vitality would be reduced upon cutting his body.
But he didn't react much as it was the only possible way to survive.
'Lost vitality, but at least I am alive,' he grinned, patting himself with his hands, which became even smaller.
But he couldn't enjoy his survival for much longer as—Thud!—he heard a loud noise.
He noticed that his killer had entered the field by leaping over the fence.
The kid picked up the nearest slime with a smirk—Slime#47 screamed, "Mama slime."
Somehow, he could identify that it was his mama slime even though all the slimes looked the same; it might be an inherent ability of slimes.
"Y#^%#%," the woman yelled, and rushed towards the kid like in the previous loop.
He had not expected the kid to take his mother. He rushed towards him, hoping to stop him—even a second could be helpful, as women would get even closer.
Bam!
He slammed his body into the kid's right leg, but it was useless—Puk!—the knife pierced into his mama slime's core.
The kid was tough as a giant compared to a puny slime!
His mama slime turned to goo within a few seconds and fell on the ground.
'Kid, I will kill you in every loop once I get powerful enough,' Slime#47 made a vow, with himself in rage. He knew how painful it was when his core shattered.
Despite only a few minutes, she was lovely and very affectionate towards him. Her eyes showed it whenever she glanced at him.
Thud!—Slap!—Slap!—the woman smacked the kid's head and followed it up with slapping the kid's cheeks left and right; the kid started tearing up with bright red handprints appearing on his face.
'Yes! Yes! Slap that ba$ta*d,' he cheered the woman from the side.
"Hhahgag," the rough man yelled; he'd just entered the field with another sack.
"AHGG%^%," the woman barked even higher; her voice was louder and sharper than the man's.
AHH!—Ahh!—The kid started crying even louder.—Slap!—"Sgg%^^," the woman bellowed, with a strong slap, making the kid shut up.
"t%^^,"
"%^%%,"
The man and woman roared at each other as the kid looked pitifully at the duo.
'Good, good, their quarrel should get fiercer, it would be good if they drew their daggers and fight,' Slime#47 wanted them to kill each other, 'They should first murder the kid before dying.'
He was disheartened as they calmed down; they just argued for a few minutes. 'All bark, not even a drop of blood,' He'd been disappointed with their pathetic behaviour.
"Phew, @##@@," the man took a relieved breath and walked in front of the shivering slimes.
They had been shivering in a corner this entire time!
'Looks like they are cowards,' Slime#47 decided to change that while clenching his hands.
The man opened his sack and—Bam!—threw the sack on the floor as trash fell out from it—objects ranging from solids to liquids.
'It's garbage,' Slime#47 knew why he'd thrown them on the ground.
Slimes rushed towards the trash and leaped on it.
Their jelly bodies dissolved the trash and absorbed the nutrients from it. After all, they feed on garbage... ahem... garbage cleaners!
'I don't want to eat it,' He felt his core would stink if he ate them.
But he was picked up by a strong palm from behind.
'What is it this time?' He turned his eyes to the top of his body as a young man came into his vision.
The man was in his early twenties, a muscular body in a neat woollen tunic; he had long blond hair reaching to his neck.
'They are family, I just hope he isn't like his brother,' Slime#47 confirmed, as the three of them had blond hair—except for the woman's black hair.
They had similar facial features, the young kid matching his mother, while the older one with his father.
Whoosh!
"Noo!!!" Slime#47 screamed as he was thrown at the trash by the young man.
Thud!
He landed straight on top of the trash.
"&*^," the young man smirked, likely due to his perfect hit.
Zhiii!
'It stinks, I hope it doesn't taste bad,' Slime#47 prayed with closed eyes, as it was the only thing he could do.
Zhii!—Zhii!
[ Ding!
Your vitality increased! ]
[ Ding!
Your vitality increased! ]
[ Ding!
Your vitality increased! ]
…..
A blue panel shimmered in his vision, causing him to snap his eyes open.
'I will poop on you, young man! remember it,' He roared internally; the stinking smell hit him hard. Inside his body were rotten bread, a dead mouse.
He didn't understand how he could smell without a nose, but he could somehow.
Zhii!
His body broke down the rotten bread and dead mouse into goo and absorbed it as—Ding!—a notification appeared in his vision.
[ Ding!
Your vitality has increased! ]
'Wait…. I don't feel any taste,' He patted himself in joy.
Not feeling taste is a curse; One of the pleasures in life is eating, and it is only due to taste if he'd been in an ordinary situation—he would scream slangs, but he felt it was a boon as slimes were garbage feeders; they could only eat trash if they couldn't feel taste.
It might be due to pity—that God might have removed their taste.
------
After more than an hour, he felt his body had grown back to 15 cm, and he felt—somehow—full!
[ Ding! Your vitality has increased!
Vitality: G- to G ]
'Not bad, I have to get it back to G+ and even more if possible,' He glanced around; almost all slimes were bouncing around the field in joy like his mama slime didn't die.
All the garbage on the grassy floor was wiped clean, not a drop of disgusting fluid!
"You seem intelligent, child," a Stern voice echoed from Slime#47's back, making his body twitch in shock!
