This Overlord Doesn't Care About Anything

Book 5: Chapter 9: S-Can Speak-lime

Arriving at the Demon Cultivation Farm, it was still Hunter who came out to welcome me.

This earlybird whod started out as a butcher still had fatty muscles, large upper arms, and a round waist. Right after seeing me, he foolishly guffawed and greeted:

Hello sir City Lord.

I gave him a nod, then walked shoulder to shoulder with him and asked:

Tell me about whats been going on recently.

Hunter cracked his fingers as he pointed here and there:

With sir Moons help, the Demon Cultivation Farm has expanded again. The surrounding residential area has been completely demolished and there hasnt been much conflict over this. At the same time, weve established a specialHorned Rabbitcultivation farm on a barren hill outside and the yield of quality rabbit meat and horn has clearly risen. At the present time, we already have some preliminary experience in rearing Demons and eliminating the aggressive nature of domestic Demons. Next, we plan on introducing some new Demons, to attempt to capture and domesticate some higher level Demons.

As Hunter spoke, he exposed a proud smile:

I dont dare brag, but when it comes to raising Demons, the current us can be considered second to none. Just, catching and domesticating Demons will require sir Aleya and sir Felitas help. We can only put forth an application and carry out this plan once the two sirs have time.

During this period of time, Aleya and Felita have been running over to the front lines as West-Resisting Citys main military power fighting in the east. I reckoned that it would take until mid-winter before West-Resisting City went into idle mode. I just hope that Demons dont have the habit of hibernating.

That colorless slime?

I asked.

Hunter clapped his forehead and replied:

Well shucks, I forgot to tell you. According to your request, weve given it a better room. But its recently stopped liking to eat things and itll get cranky whenever someone approaches it. Its been a long time since the several of us have gone to check up on it. In any case, itll eat up the food that we throw into the room every day. Do you want to visit it? Ill lead the way.

As he spoke, Hunter brought me over to a room. This room was relatively far away from the rest of the demons cultivation rooms. I took the keys from Hunter and sent him away before opening the door and walking in by myself.

The inside of the room was dark; the moment I walked in, a kind of chilliness whooshed at my face.

Just like those horror movies, the door behind me quietly closed.

There was only a small window in the room providing a minute amount of light. I looked left and right, but wasnt able to find that familiar figure.

While I was puzzled, an ethereal voice suddenly sounded in my mind:

Whos that? Who is it? Who is it?

Its slime, slime! Slime!

Bearing the name of uncommon colorless, giving up everything to live, slime!

Slimes body is sticky!

Slimes heart is shiny!

Slimes words are sweet-sounding birdsong!

Slimes shine is a splendid gold!

Aaaaaah!

With engulfing force to create a body!

The hero of justice! Slime!

When the singing voice fell, I suddenly heard the sound of wind from behind me and for a split second, there appeared to be countless murderous intents hidden within the wind.

I ducked to the side and right after, a fellow came from the back like lightning and smashed into the wall with a bang! Then, I heard the voice say ouch in my mind. The colorless slime slowly slid down the wall and onto the ground. Afterwards, the viscous fluid gathered to the core and changed back into a round slime again.

Bijii! Sir slime isalive!!

Again, this voice rang out in my mind. With the help of the light the slime was emanating, I observed it and noticed that it hadnt changed too much from the last time I saw it. Its body was still colorless and there were still six small curry-fish-ball-like spheres floating around inside it.

The slime whirled around, its core flickering as if it was looking at me.

The voice in my mind spoke again:

Bijijito actually dare treat this king as baitIll return this humiliation to you today! My bodys already become stronger, all in order to accomplish my revenge sometime in the future! The current me is already unlike the past me! Prepare to experience this kings anger, the overwhelming power Ive gained from swallowing several big potatoes, enough to make stupid humans shiver! Ill! Let! You! Experience! It! BIJII

After it finished its words, the slime stretched its body taut and launched its body over with a swoosh, throwing itself at me.

I caught it with an expressionless face and shot it at the ground.

Despite all the nonsense that it had just spewed just now, its actual strength was weak beyond recognition.

Bijii!!! How can this be!! How could this king lose so easily!! Who are you??

I squatted down and looked at it with the corners of my mouth twitching due to anger:

Are you not aware of what level you are right now?? At best, youre a Level 2 at greater perfection, not even a Level 3. What gave you such self-confidence? Furthermore, did nobody tell you that youre not supposed to talk if you want to mount a sneak attack? Have you ever seen a fellow speak for a half-day before sneak attacking?

The slime melted and laid paralyzed on the floor as it downheartedly said:

Biji~biji~you may kill me. This king already has no face to live in this world.

Even though it had gained preliminary understanding of language, it wasnt able to get rid of its habit of saying biji.

I sat by its side and asked:

So you were in that weakened state for so long just to evolve and gain the ability to talk?

The slime hmphd twice and responded:

This isnt what this king wanted. Evolution and what not is completely out of the control of this king. All this king can do is follow the instincts of this body. BijiI originally thought that after becoming stronger this time, I would be able to defeat you, you *******, and smoothly escape. This king didnt expect to be defeated like this! Dammit! Biji!

After listening to its voice carefully, I noticed that its voice is fairly neutral, the kind where you cant determine if its a males voice or a females voice. In terms of age, its like a childs voice. It also clearly doesnt have any vocal organs and seems to be directly relaying its voice into my mind. I picked it up and squeezed it, smooshing it back and forth. The slime immediately protested discontentedly:

Stop it! Bijiyou actually dare play and beat this king, are you planning on trampling on this kings last remaining strand of self-esteem! Bijijiafter this king truly turns into a god era weapon

The slimes voice spontaneously stopped.

But the title ofGod Era Weaponhad already appeared clearly in my mind.

I held the slime up before my eyes and grinned at it.

The slime whistled.

I slowly said:

Little Colorless, I think I told you in the past? If you try to escape, Ill do something cruel to you. If you dont want to become a food ingredient, then dont hide anything from me. Look me in the eyes, arent we friends?

The slime suddenly bounced up:

Bijii! Who would want to be friends with a ******* like you! You didnt treat this king as a friend when you used this king as bait! When this king was hung up on the tree, this king nearly dissolved in fright while you were in the thicket laughing, this king still remembers it very clearly!
