There is a way out of the underground river leading to the surface.

    But that was not a mere cave.

    I proceeded towards that way. *Puyopuyo*

    Passing here was more comfortable than what I had in mind.

    A place where light does not reach darkness, I''ve put to use 『Magic

    Perception』 since light

    will just reflect on my vision.

    Since I can''t see I ensure my pace but I noticed while moving, slime''s

    moving speed is not

    I can move like the pace of walking, in fact I can even run.

    I''m not tired nor do I have the reason to hurry, so I proceeded with a

    normal speed.

    It''s not like I have a trauma because I fell in the lake while running!(TL:

    Ahahaha Tsundere or

    If you like the other phrasing for this was change "It''s not like" to "Not in

    the least do")

    After a while of walking, I stumbled upon a big gate blocking the way.

    A man-made thing inside the cave.

    RPG so I don''t think of this as strange.

    It''s normal for Boss rooms to have a door in front of it.

    Now, how do I open the door?

    As I ponder about that,

    81

    Gigigyiiiiーーー!!! (TL: Finally, I was waiting for this)

    As the creaking sound rise, the door opened.

    I frantically averted the situation to the edge of the way.

    「Finally it opened. Though ain''t the keyhole nearly destroyed and it''s all

    「Well it can''t be helped. No one entered for about 300 years,

    right?」(Unknown 2)

    「There is no record of entry. Other than that, is it really safe to enter?

    Nothing will appear and attack,

    right..? 」(Unknown 1)

    「Gahahaha! Worry not! 300 years have passed so it might be unrivaled

    or what, in the end it''s just a Lizard,

    right!!! I once suppressed solo style a Basilisk. Leave it to

    me!!!」(Unknown 2)

    -B +Rank 5 Demon, right?

    Even for Kabal-san a solo subjugation was impossible , right?」(unknown

    1)

    「Fool! I am also a B rank! It''s just a large Lizard, not even an

    opponent!」(Unknown 2)

    「Yeah yeah. I understand, but don''t lower your guard, please? Well if

    things get worse I''ll just use "Kyousei

    Ritatsu"…」(Unknown 1) (TL: Kyousei Ritatsu = RUN or Coercion

    Breakaway )

    activate my "Anmitsu Skill" so shut

    up!」(unknown 3)

    Somehow three person came inside.

    I wonder why.

    Strangely I understand their language.

    "Explanation. In this situation your intention to load the sound is

    changed in your mind due to 『Magic Perception』''s

    practical use that enables you to understand the language."

    82

    I can''t speak but I can understand what they''re saying huh.

    Good. I''m not that good in english you see.

    I lived my whole life in Japan, so I deemed studying foreign language as

    useless.

    But, this time it won''t lead to a good version. It looks like I''ll need to

    study…

    But that doesn''t matter.

    What do I do?

    This was a harder question than opening the door…

    I don''t know what they''re after but they''re adventurer…-ish.

    They''re the first humans that I encounter. I have a feeling of wanting to

    follow them.

    But.. If a speechless slime demon appear in front of them…

    they''ll kill me upfront.

    So this time I''ll stop.

    I''ll appear in front of them after I can speak.

    I hid for a while and observed.

    What did that calm looking man do, they''ve suddenly blurred. Yet, not

    totally disappeared.

    Was it the one called… Onmitsu.

    Probably another kind of skill.

    What a rude fellow… peeking all they want. What kind of motive did I

    remember…

    It looks like I''ll need to ask if I can be their friend.

    Once I presumed that the 3 presence was gone, I continue moving.

    No need to fret about it.

    It''s not like I wont meet anymore humans.

    I confirmed step by step as I proceeded.Old people used to say "more

    haste, less speed".

    Before the three comes back I need to pass through the door peacefully.

    Afterwards that place.

    After passing the door I continued for a while, arriving at a point where

    the road complexly

    diverged.

    Which way leads to the surface?

    I was about to think about it but , there''s no way that I know it.

    I''ll pick one way and tread it.

    Chirochirori!

    I see it.

    I gently avoided my gaze… in front of me was a sinister serpent.

    In my past life I thought of snakes as cute, better less hard and covered

    by prickly scale

    and black snakes.

    The snake glared at the frog, nope it was a slime.

    I wont stand out. If it doesn''t notice nothing bad will happen, right?

    Slowly, I made my retreat but…
