Maybe we should go to ...... and save some more?
I understand.

　Slime nodded.
　I beckoned to Vanadium, who was waiting some distance away, who had been asked to follow me today.

　Nihonium is a dungeon where no humans come at all.
　I asked Nihonium himself about it, but there are even fewer of them these days, and other than Margaret coming once a month to stock up on air boxes, there are "zero" adventurers.

　Vanadium was relieved to hear that, and wandered around the dungeon as if it were his family home - or rather, his dungeon.

　Where there are no humans (the slime in carbon form is a monster), Vanadium is no longer attached to me at all.

　Nevertheless, he seems happy to run up to me when I call him.

'Please don't.'
...... (nationally)

　Vanadium held hands with the slime.
　We go downstairs with him.
　We immediately engage the zombies.

　It's the last thing you want to fight in a Nifongnium monster, like delo-delo, and it's a tough one, mentally.

"Doesn't that make you feel bad?
What's that?

　Slime tilted his head slightly to ask back, Kyoton.

'Look, that monster,'
......?

　More and more, I'm craning my neck, and if it's a comic book or something like that, I'm going to have to ask, "What?" above my head. gestures that seem to be floating around.
　Don't you feel that delirious feeling of a zombie as creepy?
　I wonder if it's because they're the same monster.

Well, okay. Then I'll stop the same movement as before, and in the meantime
Yes!

　I pulled out my gun and fired a restraining round at the zombie.
　The slime rushes in and attacks.

　I'm a derrodero.
　I remember my first fight with a zombie.
　Just long enough for my bamboo spear to snap off and my gun to fall into place.
　Those were the days when I had to fight zombies with bullets.

　My HP was at S, so I wasn't in any danger, but the flesh-and-blood combat with zombies was mentally tough.

　That is also a good memory now.

　--While I was immersed in my memories, the slime defeated the zombies safely.
　I knew he didn't drop any seeds, though.

''What do you think?''
Let's see.

　Slime said, and then went through the slime form and then changed back into a human form that looked just like Carbon.
　And the clothes had been changed, after all.

'What are your abilities?'

　Then he held out the portable now board.
　Slime used it.

---1/2---
Level: 1/1
HP F

Power S

　HP is back to F. Power instead.
　Two floors below the Nifonium Dungeon, the zombies drop a seed of power.

　As if in response to that, the power became an S.

'I knew it was going to be like this.
I'm here.
Can you get back to the look you had before - can HP get back to the S look?
Well, I guess I can't go to ......

　Slime groaned and tried to put some effort into it, but he couldn't seem to get back.

'I see, let's go back then,'
I understand.

　We both went back to the basement floor.
　I searched for Skelton, restrained him, and pushed him.

　Thanks to my S strength, I was able to take him down in one hit this time.

How's that?
I think I can do it.

　Slime said, and returned to his earlier outfit.
　'Just to be sure, I also checked on the portable now board; HP was an S and power was an F.

'What's a power to an S?'
I don't think so.
I see. By the way, what about not transforming after you defeat it?
I can do that.
"Mmm-hmm.

　I'm starting to understand the laws of the game somehow.

　A slime can transform into something, an outfit that becomes an S.
　You can transform into it by defeating another monster, but you can't go back to the previous one at will.
　To go back, you must defeat the corresponding monster again.
　You can, however, stock up on them.
　You can defeat it and save it without transforming it.

'Alright, let's try the third basement level too, let's see.
Yes, sir.

　I took down the zombie on the second basement floor, and then went down to the third floor after I got my power to S.

　The third basement floor of Nifonium, Mummy.
　It's a monster with a big, muscular body like a professional wrestler, wrapped in a full body bandage.

　This guy (、、、、) doesn't have any special powers yet, so I restrained him with the same straitjacket as before and took him down.

''How's that?''
I can.

　Nodding slime, no longer looking familiar, via the original slime, a new look.

　Ability also confirmed.

---1/2---
Level: 1/1
HP F
MP F
Power F
Strength F
Intelligence F
Spirit F
Speed S
Dexterous F

--------- ...

　The force is now an F and the speed is now an S.
　That's the law.

What about going back?
I can't.
Yeah, all right, let's move on. Vanadium.
...... (Kok Kok Kok)
......

　Vanadium came over and tried to connect with the slime's hand.
　But the slime didn't take his hand and stared at Vanadium.

'What's the matter?'
Mr. Vanadium.
Hmm?
Isn't Mr. Vanadium the name my dad gave you?
Hmm?　Oh, well. I guess it will.

　Not exactly.

　Vanadium's original name was Erythronium.
　It's supposed to be because of the trauma of that name that I gave it a different name.

　But the truth is, it's slightly different.

　In naming it, I had the Encyclopedia of the Original World dropped from Takarabako and found out that Erythronium is an old name for vanadium.

　So I named it Vanadium.
　When I say I put it on, I mean it, but vanadium was originally vanadium.

......

　But the slime seems to have fallen for it.
　Why now?　That's what I thought.

"Me too,
What?
I want a name, too. Dad.
......

　I poked myself in the head.
　It was a bit careless.

　Until now, I had called her "slime" in my mind.

　It's at least a relief that I haven't called her "hey" or "you" with my mouth.

　Slime - she looked at me with an upward glance.
　Her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

　I feel like I shouldn't disappoint that expectation.

　What kind of name do I want to use?
　She was originally a tellurian slime, but considering the way she looks and how she was born, it's more accurate to say she's Carbon's daughter.

　Carbon ......C......C...... organic compound ...... Yuki.......

...... Yuki?

　I try to say it out loud, in my mind, I think of girls' names with various characters like Yuki, Yuki, and Yuki.

　I look at her and ask.

'Yuki, so how's that?'
'Yes!　Thank you!

　She was incredibly happy.
　It wasn't so much the name, but the look on her face that said she was glad I had named her.

　I poked my head again.
　If she was this happy, I should have given her the name earlier.

　Oh well, we'll call her Yuki from now on.

Oh.
What's going on?
"Well, uh, ......, um, look at ......!
?

　As I nodded my head, Yuki reverted back to her slime form once and changed back into her human form.
　But that outfit--.

''Is this the first one?''
Yes, dexterity is a proper S. Besides,

　Another transformation.

''This time it's when HP is S?''
I can do strength and speed, too.

　Yuki transforms one after another.
　Surprisingly, she can now do things that she couldn't do before.

　I can now freely change into a form that I have experienced before.

'It's amazing. How did it come out of nowhere?
'I think it's because my dad named it for me!
...... I see.

　Yuki confidently told me so.

　I'm convinced that this may be so.
