Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken

Mom! The bomb shelter is...

Mom!

TOKYO, CURRENT ERA

It's peaceful.

A normal life with nothing out of the ordinary.

After graduating from university,

I was employed at a major general contracting company,

somehow had a successful career,

received a decent salary,

and here I am at 37 years old, without any inconvenience in life.

If I were to nitpick,

I'm just short of a girlfriend, that's all.

Or should I say,

it's been 37 years since I had a girlfriend.

Well, it's not like I'm actually bothered by it...

Mikami!

We're here, Mikami.

Tamura.

Sorry, I'm a little late.

So, what did you want to talk to me about?

Nice to meet you!

I'm Miho Sawatari.

I've always seen you around,

but this is the first time we're talking, right?

Hi, I'm Satoru Mikami.

I know about you, since you're pretty famous.

What? By famous, you mean...

Well, there are some rumors around.

What rumors are you talking about?

Miho!

He's just teasing you.

You should stop it at that too, Mikami.

Sorry.

So what's this?

Is this a marriage consultation or something?

This isn't a good place to talk,

so let's talk while we eat.

You like yakiniku right, Mikami?

I made reservations at a good restaurant.

Geez...

To think that he'd prepare something I like.

I sure have a good junior.

It's right around the corner.

Oh, well.

I should just give them my blessings.

Tamura!

Mikami!

What's this...

It feels too hot!

Give me a break, will you...

Confirmed.

Heat Resistance acquisition has succeeded.

No way am I'm going to die from being stabbed.

Confirmed.

Stab Resistance acquisition has succeeded.

In addition,

Physical Attack Resistance acquisition has succeeded.

Please send an ambulance! Immediately!

It hurts, the blood is...

Confirmed.

Pain Nullification acquired.

Creating a body that does not require blood.

Success.

You're talking too much Tamura.

Mikami, get a hold on yourself!

It's cold.

Cold Resistance acquisition has succeeded.

As Heat Resistance and Cold Resistance has been acquired,

Thermal Fluctuation Resistance is now acquired as a new skill.

Am I going to die?

Tamura!

Remove the hard disk from my computer at home

and throw it into the bath to destroy it.

Erasing data with electrical currents.

Failed due to insufficient information.

As a countermeasure, Electricity Resistance is acquired.

Paralysis Resistance attached in addition.

Success.

Mikami.

I beg you.

I only wanted to brag about Sawatari in front of you.

Geez.

Don't worry about it.

Mr. Mikami!

Make sure you make her happy, all right?

I'll leave my computer to you.

I didn't expect that I'd die a virgin.

When I'm reincarnated, I'll be more aggressive

and hit on all the girls.

The unique skill, Predator, has been acquired.

If being a virgin at 30 years old makes one a wizard,

I should be almost a sage, since I'm near 40.

Though it sure wasn't my dream to become a great sage.

An extra skill, Sage, has been acquired.

Now evolving the Sage skill into the Unique Skill, Great Sage.

Success.

Shut up.

It's time

for you to keep quiet...

Mikami.

Mikami!

I can't see.

Where am I?

Actually, what happened?

Somehow, I had the feeling that I was laughed at

for being a Sage or a Great Sage or something.

That's right!

I was stabbed... Right.

I remember that. That's all right.

It's not time to panic yet.

I'm so cool, that the only time I panicked was in elementary school

when I pooped in my pants.

Let's see. I was stabbed, then...

It doesn't hurt.

It's not cold too.

My eyes...

I can't open them!

I can't see anything!

My hands...

My legs...

I can't feel them!

My body...

I can move!

I have my sense of touch.

This is a rock?

ROCK

This means this isn't the hospital.

Then, where am I?

This is...

Grass, I guess?

I can move my mouth,

but my voice...

I can't speak.

It dissolved!

It's permeating through my body.

Just what happened to me?

Isn't this weird?

Usually humans don't dissolve grass, do they?

Did I die after all?

I wonder what happened to Tamura and Sawatari.

Did he destroy the hard disk?

Just what is happening to me now?

I'm bouncing. It feels like there's something bouncy.

Let's see, what's around my body...

I see!

How could this be?

I've changed from such a cool and manly man,

into such a refined, streamlined body!

Are you dumb?

As if I'm going to accept this!

But, I'm a slime, right?

I'm not human.

It seems like I was stabbed, died,

and reincarnated...

into a slime.

A considerable number of days passed since then, I suppose.

Surprisingly, this body is rather convenient,

and I feel fine even without eating or sleeping.

"So, why are you eating grass, then?" You might ask.

That's because I'm bored!

There's no meaning to it, but I feel uneasy if I don't do anything.

Who am I talking to anyway?

But, where do all the things I digest go to?

-I didn't poop... -Answer.

It is stored in the Unique Skill Predator's stomach.

This voice...

I'm certain that I heard it when I was stabbed.

Who's this?

Answer.

This is an effect of the Unique Skill, Great Sage.

As abilities have stabilized, reaction speed is now made faster.

The Great Sage.

By skills, you mean ability?

And what about the Predator...

The skill allows you to prey and consume your target for analysis.

You will be able to absorb the target's skills.

When analysis is completed, you can also perform a mimicry of the target.

The stomach stores the prey target,

and can also isolate harmful materials found during the analysis.

Predator is an incredible ability.

Is it all right for a slime to have it?

But well, since I have the ability,

could you analyze the grass I ate, just to test it?

Analysis completed.

Hipokte Grass.

A valuable medicinal herb which only breeds in regions rich in Magicules.

A raw material used in salves and healing potions.

Magicules?

Magicules refer to

the special particles that permeate this world...

Explain in simpler terms!

They refer to

the basic life unit of all Monsters.

Basic life unit?

I see.

So those Magicules fill the entire cave,

which explains why so many of these valuable herbs are growing here, right?

So now,

the analysis on the Hipokte Grass or whatchamacallit is done,

stored in the stomach,
