Chapter 190: Sewers
Chapter 190: Sewers
Even if slimes reproduce fast it won't become too much of an issue.
These things are actually kinda cuddly.
Except if you are completely unaware and sleeping, there is no way it can do much damage.
Is this an evil plan?
Not really.
It should at least teach them a lesson.
That's what they will get for refusing to pay people their salary!
Not only do they not give us what we deserve
There is something even worse!
They slander us in order to justify their actions.
Hence why I'm now feeding slimes.
With a potentially cute girl too.
I mean I can't see her face.
Could you imagine a chad voluntarily bringing a girl in the sewers?
Maybe not the most romantic place.
However, there is the upside of being unforgettable.
No matter what.
I'm jesting.
There ain't anything going between us.
I'm here for the slimes.
She's here for the slimes too.
Aren't these little creatures kinda popular?
I bet many people would actually like them.
Maybe in a few months, it will be the rage in the city.
I could easily see it as a fashion trend.
Go on long walks in the park with your bouncy pet.
Maybe I should invest in the slime taming business.
Except that I blew all my money again.
Seriously I used to be good with money.
Well, I think anyway.
As in I would try to keep some for the rainy days.
I don't know why but ever since coming to this world I feel like money is of no consequence.
Probably because I did lack it, but I've been living decently anyway.
There is a certain charm to living in simplicity.
Maybe it's just me, however.
As I'm pondering, I hear footsteps.
"Hurry up, I want to get out of here and go drink."
Wow, I just realized that I haven't visited any bar here.
This is surprising for me.
Then again whenever I'm busy I tend to just focus on that.
Perhaps after getting out of here I could go grab a drink?
Except that I blew all my coins.
So much for living simply.
Two seconds afterward I'm reminded of the harsh reality.
No coin, no beer.
Meh, it's not the end of the world.
Two people turn the corner, they are carrying something.
Upon seeing me us one of them stops in his tracks.
Meanwhile the other falls backward.
Whatever they were carrying is now lying on the floor.
What is even that?
Some kind of big bag.
We are in the sewers.
Is that considered littering?
Then again maybe it's fine to come and throw your trash here.
Maybe me handing bread out is useless.
My companion whispers.
"Let me do that talking."
Ehsure, I guess.
Do we even need to talk to them?
We can just do our business.
"Hello guys, I'm a slime researcher! The name is KIM! Ah, I think I got lost. Am I supposed to be here?"
Why does she sound like a damsel in distress now?
Also, that was actually a proper introduction.
Did she practice since last time?
Actually, I guess she was really flustered too back then.
Surprised by the whole it is possible to tame a slime thing.
Most people wouldn't care that much.
She being an exception.
For her, that is a big deal.
The one that's the farthest opens his mouth.
"Little lady, you shouldn't be here at all. How about me and my brother escort you out?"
Hum, I guess they have permission from the city or something.
I am not done feeding the slimesbut close.
Ah, whatever.
I dump all the remaining bread in the water.
"Ah? Thank you! Please lead the way!"
These guys are actually helpful.
If I had to describe them they kind of look like thugs.
Except I can't really judge like that.
It's not because they have a few scars and tattoos that they are bad.
Is that a zombie tattoo? It looks cool.
Anyway, they could be retired guards.
Even off-duty guards too.
How does a work shift go here?
Is it the usual 40 hours?
Perhaps it is more. I don't know.
"I'll take the front and my brother the back. Don't worry no slime will hurt you guys."
So nice!
Right, what about what they were carrying?
Are they just gonna leave it there?
Then again, they are escorting us out.
Maybe they'll dispose of it properly afterward.
Must be their plan.
"Right, lady. I don't usually do that, but you seem nice. Want to go on date someday? We can go eat a bite and"
"No thank you! I already have plans!"
How to get shut down fast haha.
I'm betting she's thinking about some experimentation.
Maybe she'll sneak back here too.
"Oh, I understand"
Poor guy. I can almost hear his self-confidence shattering.
Should I try and cheer him up?
It could sound insulting if I am the one to do it, however.
You know since I am a complete stranger and all.
People pitying you on their own is kinda bad.
I guess for now I'll just.
*BONK*
I feel a strong power push me to the ground.
Something did hit the back of my head.
What was that?!
"Hehe, lady you shouldn't have brought your boyfriend here you know."
"Actually the issue is that she rejected my date. I wouldn't have minded her doing what she wanted after I was done with her."
"That's true."
Their evil dialogue is interrupted by a surprised and angry voice.
"What the hell did you guys do?!"
"Hehe, simply knocked out your boyfriend. Well, I'm pretty strong you know. It's questionable whether he is alive or dead haha."
"You monsters!"
"Haha, she called us monsters. Can you believe it?!"
"Lady we are worse than monsters you see. We are proud members of the brawny black corpses!"
"Have you never heard of us at all?! No? Wait, seriously?! This bitch is probably an outsider. Would explain the weird mask."
"What do you guys want?!"
"Simple, we'll have fun with you all day long. Then we'll throw your corpse to the slimes as we have been doing. Then we'll exit and act like you never existed in the first place."
