“A horde of slimes …”
A large amount of slimes broke out in the wetlands, north of the city–the first report was brought to the Hunter Guild before the noon bell rang.
Gangel, the guild master of the Hunter Guild who was thinking about eating the bento that his beloved wife made, raised his face while picking up the cloth that wrapped the bento.
Gangel’s face, which often went to the scene due to the decrease in hunters, was much scarier than when Zelet left.
He also removed the wig that covered his head, and now the bald head is shining smoothly.
Thanks to that, his already bad face was getting worse.
However, the bossy mustache was still present, he removed his hand from the boxed lunch and stroked his beard, feeling annoyed.
“Yes. That number is about 1000 or more …”
The subordinate replied in a monotonous voice.
Recently, his subordinates have just quit, and now a newcomer in his second year is concurrently serving as Gangel’s secretary and office worker.
Is it because of lack of sleep that there is no emotion?
It was quite black under his eyes.
“That many”
“Because it has been raining for a long time recently. I wonder if the conditions for slime to grow easily have been met.”
How slime is born is still a mystery.
The most prominent one is that small microorganisms living in water have been mutated by being exposed to strong magical power, but there is some counter-evidences.
Most knew that it tended to increase after a rainy day or when the humidity was high.
“It’s a nasty number …”
Gangel sat deep in the guildmaster’s chair.
Slime is a small fry monster. That even a child can beat it. The venomous snake in the field around that area would be much more troublesome.
However, if dust is piled up, it becomes a mountain.
It’s quite troublesome to have 1000 monsters.
“Once colonized, it’s hard to clear them.”
“That’s right”
There was not much sense of urgency in the words of his subordinate.
Colonization is a phenomenon in which slimes stick to each other due to mutation.
Even if each slime is small, if it comes together with 1000 others, it’s no longer the “wave” of slime.
At that number, it could swallow the whole city. Gangel and the Hunter Guild were worried about colonization.
“I have already received a request from the country through the guards, what should I do?”
“Damn! Officials! Pushing only the work they don’t want to do. We aren’t handymen — it hurts!”
Gangel screamed.
Apparently, he hit his little finger on the corner of the desk with too much momentum.
He was holding his ankle while making a red face.
“Then, I’m going to ask the hunters. And you’re the on-site commander this time, I’ve paid off the remarkable hunters …”
Guild officials look terrifyingly at Gangel.
Many hunters are needed to subdue a large number of monsters.
Hunters usually work individually. Of course, they have never taken any cooperation. Many people will meet for the first time in the field.
Therefore, a commander is absolutely necessary for efficient extermination. The commander also has to be someone with a decent name value and rank.
When a newcomer becomes the commander, it will end up being a gathering of the people with chaos.
Before the decline of the Hunter Guild, there were various human resources, but now the talented people are disappearing.
Even those who have changed jobs to the trendy food providers and have made a name for themselves have begun to appear.
In particular—-.
Just barely!
Gangel bit his teeth involuntarily.
“Gangel-sama?”
“Hmm? Oh, oh … nothing. I see. I’ll be in command of the scene.”
“Thank you. We will arrange for the hunters immediately.”
The guild clerk, who was sick, brightened up and, before Gangel changed his mind, rushed out of the guild master’s room.
Gangel sighs loudly.
Turning the swivel chair around, He gazed at the window behind.
Squinting in the bright summer sunshine.
“It’s been 3 years …”
Gangel unknowingly muttered the number.
◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
Two days later …
Preparations for slime subjugation are complete, and the hunters finally leave the city.
About 30 people gathered.
From newcomers on the bottom to D-rank veterans on the top.
There is a wide variety of human resources, but it doesn’t make any sense.
Gangel, who became the commander, feels like a priest walking at the head of the funeral line. Simply put, morale is low.
“Would you like to ask another guild for support?”
Seeing the hunters gathered by Gangel’s subordinates, he drops his shoulders.
“Hmm! I don’t need help from other guilds. Even though it’s slime, there are hordes of monsters in the north of the city. Someone who is indifferent to it. . Leave it alone !! “
However, as the number of hunters has decreased recently, Gangel often asked other guilds for support.
In the old days, the opposite was true, and human resources were so aspirational that they were sent from the Hunter Guild to another guild.
Before he knew it, the position was reversed.
“When did this happen?”
Gangel clicks his tongue.
He stared at the hunters who gathered again.
Although it is small, it is a gathering of 30 people at best.
Even though it’s against 1000, it’s probably because the opponent is slime. All the people who bet on the fact that the success rate of the quest was high gathered.
While heading to the battlefield, Gangel couldn’t help but remember ” the old days.”
All the hunters have a strong personality, but their abilities are all with origami.
Especially “Black storm” , I feel like I was angry every day when Cheryl was called, but I think that the management of the guild was stable.
This is because many aspiring hunters have rushed to Gangel’s Hunter Guild in love with the former hero.
But what about now? It took me two days to prepare just to subdue the slime.
When it was lively, someone would have gone to subdue the slime the same day.
“Damn! This and that are also Zele —“
I tried to blame Zelet, but I stopped because I was lost.
I know that it isn’t the fault of Zelet either. If I trace the cause, the biggest problem was that I got to that Henderone.
I know that Henderone was deported to the north, fled to neighboring Carneria for some reason, and then deported again to the Kingdom of Vanahia.
I heard from rumors that she was still waiting for the day of execution while eating stinky rice in the underground camp of the kingdom.
The case of Leviathan seems to have been blamed on Henderone after all, and I was not guilty.
Of course, I had to endure a tough interrogation, but I was never called to the royal palace.
I wondered if Henderone had suffered all the sins, but Gangel understands well that she is not a lady who can do such dexterity.
“Gangel, that …”
Before I knew it, we had reached the wetlands.

Pulling the bridle, Gangel looks down at them from a little higher.
“Uhe …”
The voice leaks unintentionally.
There are not 1000 monsters there.
Perhaps 10,000 slimes were crowded in the wetlands.
