Chapter 104: Almost in Tears
Following the sound, Leon spotted a round, green, ball-sized blob bouncing toward him from the far end of the corridor. As it got closer, he noticed a slimy tentacle sprouting from its head, with a tiny green ball dangling at the tip—like a miniature version of the slime itself.
Leon instantly pulled out his Galaxy Watermelon Knife, ready for battle. But the green Slime completely ignored him and kept hopping in the other direction. Just as Leon was wondering what was going on, he saw another green Slime chasing after it. The strange thing was, the tiny ball atop this second slime’s head was heart-shaped.
“Is this… courtship?”
Watching the two green Slimes hopping in a game of tag—one with a heart-tipped tentacle—left Leon dumbfounded. This was the first time he’d seen something so absurd yet oddly reasonable.
Even monsters have the nerve to flaunt their romance in front of a single guy? Is there no moral baseline anymore?
Determined to help this yet-to-be-paired couple, Leon lunged forward and swung twice.
The blade was fast, the Slimes were soft, but one clean slice still cut them neatly in half. Neither of them ran. They didn’t even resist. It was as if chasing love—or escaping unwanted attention—was more important than survival itself.
When the two green blobs were split and their bodies disintegrated into nothing, three translucent, jelly-like blobs were left behind on the ground.
“Slime Jelly (Monster Drop): A lump of gel with no scent and a faint glow.”
