Booing...

Booiinngg...

Blurrpp...

One of the stealth slimes I managed to tame stood silently before me.

I know that slimes are one of the slime monsters that are very easy to tame using basic-level magic. But when I accidentally tamed a slime monster using a special magic that only the nine-tailed fox tribe knew about, it piqued Ciel’s curiosity.

"Soul Tame..." Ciel muttered a little while observing the slime monster that was under my control.

"That is a magic that is only known by some nine-tailed fox girls who get official jobs as herders of our living foods such as livestock and tamed monsters. How does Nee-sama know magic like this?" in Ciel’s small mumble, I could hear the entire contents of her mumble without missing a single piece of information.

Booingg...

Booiingg...

Unlike monsters that have intelligence and survival instincts, slimes generally have their uniqueness in that live in groups. One of the stealth slimes that I managed to tame is now separated from the group that I and Ciel killed.

The slime body covered in thick liquid made me feel a little disgusted. But I had to endure it because her soul was bound in my hand after the Soul Tame magic spell enveloped to the slime body.

According to the notes left by the Great Hero in his magic book, Soul Tame is a restrained magic basic level will that was once the subject of debate between the Great Hero and some wizards who opposed monster slavery.

The more I read the magic book, I realized the attitude of the Great Hero who, according to his confession, came from an otherworldly country called Germany. His attitude was rough but revolutionizing magic spells is a gift that only the Great Hero can have.

If it were me, I would have become the enemy of the world if I oppose the Tower of Wizards in that timeline.

I stared at the stealth slime I had tamed and chanted a few simple commands using the Soul Tame magic formation.

"Sit!" I said in a flat tone.

The stealth slime responded by remaining still and shrinking its body size to become flat like a piece of paper.

"Stand up!" I said with a different command.

The stealth slime responded by returning to its original ball-shaped body size.

"Roll!" the command I uttered this time had a higher level of complexity. Since the Great Hero did not recommend performing Soul Tame on monsters that had no reason and mind, they could only perform basic, non-complex movement commands.

One of the monsters that has no reason and mind is slime.

"Huh?!" Ciel and Sia screamed when they saw the stealth slime rolling right and left.

Now I’m sweating thinly from my forehead.

The attitude of the stealth slime that understood My complicated command that was able to roll had indicated that stealth slime had the reason and mind to understand my intentions.

"This is strange, shouldn’t a slime not have this kind of intelligence?" Sia asked, starting to get interested because her dragon tail was twisting as she watched the stealth slime roll without stopping.

"Stop," I said to stop the stealth slime monster’s movements.

"Is it possible that you understand what I ordered?" I had great doubts about this. And asked the stealth slime like a living creature that could be invited to communicate.

Boinngg...

Boinngg...

The response given by the stealth slime was beyond my expectations.

The body movement that was covered in mucus looked like it was nodding.

"Is the stealth slime than you understand what I’m saying too?"

The question I asked seemed completely pointless. Some monsters that had intelligence levels close to humans were high-level species that had evolved with examples like the sin-eating slime that had attacked the Aurora Kingdom’s Capital before.

Boiingg. ..

Boiingg...

The stealth slime body movements changed like nodding and shaking head.

"Does that mean there are some who understand and some who don’t understand human speech?"

Boinngg...

Boingg...

That nod has answered my curiosity about the stealth slime that can think and has instincts.

However, to be more sure.

"Did the stealth slime we killed have the same level of intelligence as you?" I asked while observing the movement of the stealth slime body which seemed to be shaking with thin bubbles inside the stealth slime thick body.

Bllurrpp...

Plluupp...

"Uh, does that mean they’re stupid slimes who can’t even do their job properly?" said Ciel, trying to understand the movement of the stealth slime’s body that looked like it was about to explode.

Booingg...

Boiinngg...

The stealth slime jumped and gave a positive answer about the stupid stealth slime that failed to protect the entrance of Marquess Rommel’s mansion.

I looked at Ciel with a nod.

The information given by Ciel made me realize something.

"Hey, if I may ask, why are you using my mansion as your nest?" I asked further to the stealth slime that was under the control of my magic spell.

Hearing my question and its attempt to answer, the stealth slime’s body suddenly changed to three times its size by forcing its sticky body fluid to gather at one point.

The sudden change in its body made me wary, especially with its attitude that seemed to want to imitate something.

"I understand some of the meaning of their ambiguous body movements but know the meaning of their actions that occupy the mansion where you live, Lily-chan," Sia raised her dragon tail while her gaze tried to understand the unclear stealth slime movements.

"They seem to have chosen this place as their temporary residence in winter because the cave they live in is filled with a group of forest bears that dominate their territory. This residence is used as a mating place before they return to attack the cave that is their territory. Stealth slimes are a variation of monsters that are separated by their work duties within the slime group," said Sia who had understood the meaning of the strange movements of the stealth slime monster.

"What does it mean?" I who only understood part of Sia’s words wanted to ask more about the purpose of the stealth slime in my residence.

"It means they are preparing troops to take over the cave where they live. Just like bees that have a group of worker bees and a group of bees that take care of life in the beehive. Slimes also have a Queen Slime that functions to defend their group. For now, the Slime Queen is trying to create an army that can make them to take back the cave that is their home," Sia said with a serious expression on her face.

"Is their Slime Queen here?" I asked Sia.

"I don’t think so," Sia answered shortly.

"Hmm… this will be very troublesome. From any point of view, the actions they took were just instincts to survive after the cave they occupied was taken over by fellow monsters."

From this information, I realized that this stealth slime seemed to have an enemy who dared to invade a cave filled with slimes together with the Slime Queen.

Attacking the home of a group of monsters.

That made me want to know if fellow monsters could have the same intelligence as humans or not.

"Hey, I want to ask something of one of the stealth slimes who has a position at the top of your group," I said in a cold tone because of the curiosity that arose in my mind.

"If I were to lead your cave capture operation, would you all be able to leave this place and help me clean this place with your slime abilities that can decompose dirt?" I asked coldly while making an offer to the stealth slime in front of me.

My body suddenly received a signal that spread in various directions.

Whether it was because I was controlling the stealth slime in front of me or the effect of Soul Tame that could sense the magical abilities of tamed monsters, I could feel their presence hiding in various directions.

From all of those directions, I could sense seven stealth slimes that had an amount of magical energy above the average of normal monsters.

Compared to the stealth slime in front of me. The comparison is the amount of magical energy in the size of a bean with the amount of magical energy in the body of an adult horse.

For a slime that has that amount of magical energy.

It could be said that they are the leaders of this group of slimes, right?

"I will release my Soul Tame magic and convey my request to meet the seven leaders of this stealth slime group," I said while launching a magic energy formation that canceled the Soul Tame effect.

Booiinngg...

Boiingg...

The stealth slime monster looked happy when it was free from my control.

"I will wait outside," I said while stepping towards the exit.

"Nee-sama, will this be okay?" asked Ciel who was walking towards the exit beside me.

"My cute little sister, you’re not planning to make fellow monsters fight with you being the Mastermind behind them, right?" Sia asked, looking at me with a serious look in her eyes, she suddenly opened her fan and covered her face with the dark shadow of her opened fan.

"My little sister being the Mastermind of the movement of monsters attacking other monsters, that sounds cool to see up close, fufu…" Sia laughed and chuckled, her facial expression covered by the fan made me a little scared.

"Will it be okay if a group of monsters move controlled by someone?" Unlike Sia who seemed to want to enjoy this event, Ciel just followed me by throwing random questions from her mouth about my actions of wanting to control the stealth slime attack so that their cave could be recaptured.

As we were walking towards the exit of Marquess Rommel’s Mansion, several stealth slimes that had been hiding lined up and followed our movements towards the exit.

It seemed that they had found out what had happened from the slimes that were under the control of my Soul Tame magic.

Their seemingly docile nature made us walk side by side in harmony.

Of course, this made some of Marquess Rommel’s private soldiers and Earl Timoti’s private soldiers open their mouths wide.

A girl wearing a Victorian Maid uniform flanked by two Saintesses was walking out of the Mansion alongside the stealth slime that had troubled them earlier.

Now... what should I do next?

Make an attack plan using blind information that is unknown to be true or conduct an espionage stage to find out the enemy’s strength.

Before I could do such busy things, my Goddess sent a request to see me wearing a Military uniform from her favorite cosplay list.
