I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level

Azuza Aizawa, age 27, single female corporate slave.

All my life I've lived only for my career.

No love, no fun, no anything else.

Just work and nothing but work. I worked

50 days in a row once.

Aren't there supposed to be labor laws against that?

Then one day I suddenly up and passed.

Out right at my desk. My goodness.

Ah, jeez, I just died, didn't I? You did.

You worked yourself to death. And you were

only a young woman in your 20s.

So young. It's heartbreaking, I see, so I literally

lived and died for my job.

That's sad. No, no, don't get depressed.

I'll give you a brand new life

that you can live happily from beginning to end.

And you'll be free to do almost anything you please.

Really, anything I want. Uh huh. I have

a soft spot for women like you.

Gods are allowed to be biased like that.

Yes, we are all right. Make me ageless and immortal.

Okay. Wait. That's it. It's that easy. Awesome.

Hold still. Mana will soon circulate and flow through you.

And you'll reincarnate into a body that

will never age. Want more? Uh.

No, thanks. That's enough. All I want

this time around is to live a

slow, lazy life. Coming right out.

Your new relaxed life will be in some calm, peaceful highlands.

I'll go ahead and make you young

and pretty too. Around age 17.

And now protein. Carlo Ferrari.

Well, I'm in the Highlands.

Not sure what language this is, but I can

read it free house to anyone who wants it. That's nice.

I wonder if this is another gift from that goddess.

Wait, is this me? Wow, I really do look 17.

And I'm super cute too. And these great clothes.

I really look like a witch.

I'm reborn. And now I've got a new life.

And that corporate slave is gone. Goodbye, Azusa. Workaholic.

And hello, Azusa. Lazy witch. And so today,

I'm gonna begin living my easy life. I can grow my.

Own food and be self-sufficient. Hey, there's a village.

I've got a weapon and some money too.

Maybe I should go down there.

A slime. That's different. I really am in another world.

Can I beat it? Huh huh.

Uh huh. That didn't hurt that much.

Still hit that and that and that and that.

Is this another.

Kind of money? Maybe. I said I was going to be self-sufficient,

but a little money will still come

in handy, so I'll just take this.

Huh? Whoa! I guess these slimes are pretty common around this place.

No. Oh, wow. Haven't seen you before, huh?

Oh, well, I just moved into a house in the Highlands.

Would you mind telling me a little bit about this village?

This is the village of plateau. We have

an adventurer's guild here. You should talk to them.

Thank you, ma'am, I will. It's not

a very big village, but it sure is pretty.

Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild. Although this is a peaceful town,

you know no monsters around here except for slimes.

I noticed I beat some on my way in and got these.

Those are magic stones. I can buy them,

but you'll need to register with our local guild first.

Is that all right? That's fine.

If you would just place your hand on here. Sure.

Now what occupation? Which level? One. So I really

am a witch then? Special abilities.

Immortality. That's amazing. I've heard some witches who lived very long lives,

but never a level one immortal.

I guess I'm just lucky that way.

I won't mention it was a second Life bonus.

You're all set. Thank you and welcome to our guild.

And now I've got income to.

That was the day. My new life, my slow and easy life began.

I eat and drink whatever I want, I sleep as much as I want,

and I tend to my little field

when I want some exercise. I just beat up slimes

there. Magic stones are my most valuable source of income,

so I try to get at least 25 a day.

I go visit the nearby forest to being a witch.

I know what plants are medicinal. On occasion

I actually make medicines and then sell them in the village.

Yep, with just a minimal labor and an easy day to day,

I live a life of leisure.

The second life of mine is fantastic.

And thus 300 years passed.

And 26. After 300 years. I don't need a blade.

Guess I must have leveled up a bit.

Oh, it's the witch of the Highlands.

Good morning. The medicine you brought last

time worked great. I'm so glad.

It's been 300 years. I know more

about this village's history now than anyone else.

We've been through a lot together. I've

examined patients in distress and healed them with my medicines.

One time, I even helped stop the spread of a plague.

Now everyone treats me like I'm the town's guardian deity.

Though I can't say that bothers me. Hello?

Here you go. 5200 pieces of gold.

Thank you very much. See you again tomorrow.

Wait. Please don't go just yet. All

right. There's something I've been wanting.

To ask you for a while. You've been a member of this guild so

long, just how strong are you?

How strong am I? You mean, like in battle?

Uh, I wouldn't think I'm that strong at all.

I mean, I'm registered as an adventurer,

but I've never been on an adventure.

I've been so curious. May I please look at your stats?

Now that you mention it, no one

has checked them in 300 years. Exactly. You've been killing.

Slimes and protecting Plata. For centuries. Your

stats have got to be through the roof.

I'd bet money on it. Sure, you can check,

but I'm just a country witch who knows about medicinal plants.

Don't get your hopes up.

Level 99. You are seriously strong. Nah, that.

Can't be right. That thing must be broken.

Slimes are the only thing I've beaten and they're super weak.

I can't have nearly 11 million experience points.

No, I think it's right. You've been beating slimes.

Every single day, 365 days a year for 300 years, correct?

I guess so, I usually average 25 slimes per day.

And you see what this says? You have

a special ability that will boost the

number of experience points you earn.

That means you get two additional XP for every monster you defeat.

Just two points. Slimes are usually worth two XP,

but with your ability that becomes four

and thus four times 25 times 365 times 300 equals 10.95 million.

Whoa! I know slow and steady wins the race, but.

A big dragon's worth 2500 XP, so

that's the equivalent of 4380 dragons.

So I'm like a total dragon killer. Yeah. It's insane.

You must be the strongest adventurer in the whole world.

The entire world. I knew in my heart

the witch of the Highlands had to be super powerful.

You've gotta be kidding. If too many

people find out and word keeps spreading and I end up famous.

Slow, relaxing life will be out. Natalie,

you can't tell anyone about this. Not a single.

Soul. What? Why shouldn't I? I think

you should have all the glory you deserve.

My stats are my personal information. How

would you feel if everyone in town knew your exact chest size?

But I'm happy with my chest size. Fine.

Uh uh. Regardless, please just keep my stats to yourself.

Don't tell anyone. I wish to live

a private and peaceful life. Here.

You got it. Your stats will remain a secret.

Yes. I swear no one else will know.

I never do anything to betray your

trust. Witch of the Highlands are.

Level 99. I just can't believe it.

How is that possible? From just beating slimes every day?

Waterfall. I hereby command you.

Dang. It's true.

And flip and freeze solid.

I didn't even realize I learned this magic, but it's super handy.

Later, I just use fire magic to defrost. Uh uh.

Hi there. Can I help you?

You are Azusa, the witch of the Highlands, correct?

Yes, I am Azusa. Just what do you adventurers want with me?

We would like to test our skills against you. Huh?

I'm just a country witch who ekes

out a living making herbal medicines.

I'm not special. Why would you want to fight me?

We were told to level 99, which lived here.

Is that not you? Oh, crap.

That was a mistake. The Adventurer Guild stat reader was broken.

Honestly, I'm really not that strong at all.

More like level 10 or 3.

Stop trying to lie to us. You have so much mana,

it's practically gushing out of your body.

It's quite obvious you are incredibly strong.

Fine. If you really want to fight,

I'll fight, but only on one condition.

If I win, then you have to go and tell everybody.
