Jaryuu Tensei Chapter 6

New chapter guys.

I don’t edit these releases much before releasing them, so if there are any parts that you think needs editing or a confusing part please comment down below.

I plan on editing all the chapters on saturday, as I am releasing these just a bit before my bed time, which means I don’t have much time.

Chapter 6: Even I… Love you guys…

 

The creation of the barrier proceeded relatively smooth.

On the forest’s four entrances we made magic circle-like things and just poured magic power into it.

These circles were created by the female hero chanting stuff I had no idea what, and the formation appeared from the ground.

It glowed in a pale light and when I placed my hand on it, it glowed a deep red.

It seems that it absorbs magic power.

I could feel some kind of power being taken from my body.

When we repeated this four times, the work was done.

Although the forest looks like nothing changed, but with this it seems that a protective barrier has been raised.

 

“Although you can freely come out from inside, but from outside it should be impossible to enter. But if it’s something on the level of a demon lord, I can’t guarantee anything.”

“If it’s like that then it’s fine, after all we even put up a sign.”

 

We placed a sign that says that the evil dragon has went north near the entrance.

Since the master of the barrier was me and the female hero, we can freely go in and out of it, so we went back inside.

I called to the slimes with a large voice.

After I explained to them that the female hero was harmless, I explained to them the details about the barrier surrounding the forest.

The female hero was not surprised at the slimes being magic beasts, but rather at the fact that they could speak in the human language.

After I explained the situation to them in one breath, I talked about something that I really found hard to talk about.

 

“You see… from today on I’m gonna be leaving this forest.”

“B,boss, why…?”

“How should say this… It like I got tired of the life here. I got tired of the life without any kind of stimulus.”

“I see, you’re still worried about what happened last time, right? Even though it wasn’t really boss’ fault. Boss did nothing wrong.” [TLnote:#pewdiepiedidnothingwrong]

“S,shut up, it’s not like that! I’m just tired of this forest is all!” [TLnote: Ja-san is such a tsuntsun.]

“Then please bring us too!”

“””””Please!”””””

 

Ku, for it to turn into this kind of development….

While my eyes teared up, I averted my eyes from the slimes and turned my back to them.

 

“Y, you should not. You guys stay in the forest, the outside is too dangerous.”

“It’s fine even if it’s dangerous! We want to be with boss!”

“T-That’s why I’m saying it’s impossible. To say it bluntly, you guys are burdens.”

“You can even use us as shields, and if you’re hungry you can even eat us, that’s why, that’s why, please let us stay by boss’ side!”

“””””please!”””””

 

Gu… I looked at the sky that has turned hot at the corner of my eye.

Why do these guys follow some like me?

These guys are really outside of reason.

Since my words have stopped, the female hero talked to the slime instead.

 

“Why do you guys follow the evil dragon this much?”

“We have been saved countless times by boss. The us who are really weak, that we were always bullied, the boss has always…. The boss is strong and kind, we adore him. The memories where we took walks in the sky while riding on boss’ back, is our treasure.”

“””””We love you boss!””””””

 

I am at my limit soon.

I walked towards the forest’s entrance at a fast pace.

The slimes desperately chased after me, I knew that but still continued on.

I walked until the edge of the barrier and stopped.

But with my back still towards them, I quietly said.

 

“I am already fed up with protecting you guys. At the very least live a long life in this forest.”

“Boss….”

 

I heard a nasal voice.

With this, it should be clear to them how serious my determination is.

The slimes must have understood, since none of them are saying for me to bring them along anymore.

At the end when I was about to cross over to the other side of the barrier, I heard the slimes saying with their best.

 

“We will become strong… even without boss we will be fine, we will become strong. That’s why boss, for everything until now, thank you very much.”

“””””Take care!”””””

 

When I raised my right hand as a response, I exited the barrier.

After walking for quite a while, I quietly left the forest.

Inside my head years of memories- fragmented memories rose up.

Always beside me were those guys.

Those guys looking like they were having fun, made even me feel like I’m having fun.

Those guys said that I was always saving them.

But that’s not it, I was the actually the one being saved.

Even I don’t really want to be separated from them.

My feelings of wanting to take them with me aren’t half-assed.

But, but, slimes body’s are very surprisingly fragile.

If it isn’t the clean air of the forest their life spans would immediately drop.

Even their food is like that.

For the herbivorous them their choices for food are severely limited.

As expected, that forest is surely the best environment for them.

 

“Evil dragon, let’s rest at that large boulder’s shadow for a bit.”

“Why? I don’t need to.”

“There’s a need to. From a while ago, from the time you were turning your back from the slimes, you’ve been covered in tears.”

“Gu-… then I will…”

 

In the shadow of the large rock, I was comforted by the female hero, while I cried my heart out.

Specifically speaking it was stuff like patting my head or caressing my back.

With the barrier, she might unexpectedly be a good woman.

In the future she might become a good wife.

 

“I thought you were annoying at first, but you’re quite the good guy. What’s your name?”

“It’s chloe, you?”

“You can call me Ja.”

“Ja, I misunderstood a lot of things, let me say my apologies.”

“It’s fine, or rather I should be the one thanking you. Right now I only have this, but I think you’ll like it quite a bit.”

 

I took out the black bag and the sword.

Chloe who noticed the worth of the sword and black bag, was surprised.

Both of them are apparently top quality goods.

But as expected she knew nothing about the candy like thing.

 

“But I don’t need them, I have my own sword, and I don’t carry many things.”

“Then you wanna try eating the candy?”

“I’ll restrain myself, how about you try eating it? You look like you want something sweet.”

 

Not that she mentions it, it is like that.

I haven’t cried this much since I saw a mother cat abandon her own kitten in an animal documentary.

Although the sadness right now is at a different vector.

 

Since this body is strong against poison, even if there was something bad mixed in, it shouldn’t’ affect me much.

I threw it into my mouth.

N? It’s not that sweet?

After a minute of having it in my mouth I bit it and swallowed, since the flavor was thin.

What is this? Diet-type candy?

And then at that moment, my body started feeling strange.

 

“J,Ja!? Are you ok!?”

 

Eh, w,what? hey!Ohhhhhhh!

Somehow my body is shrinking rapidly, but what does this mean!?

At the very end, not just my size, but even the shape of my body was changing.

My prided wings and tail disappeared, and the silver colored skin that the slimes complemented has become skin colored.

Are? This familiar feeling of a body is… Oi, Oi, are you serious~~!?
