Cherreads

Chapter 387 - Chapter 373: Aren’t Slimes just 'Zako' (Small Fries)?

[ Hans, caught red-handed, still refused to admit it, claiming he was just here for sightseeing. But when he saw Wiz, he immediately felt guilty and turned his head away.

"Crack—" The speed was so fast that the creaking sound of bones could be heard.

But the more Wiz looked, the more familiar he seemed, and then she cried out excitedly: "It's Hans-san, you are Hans-san, right?"

Hans, having his name called out, shuddered subconsciously, then tried to bluff his way through with a trembling voice: "Han… Who is Hans? I am the caretaker here~!"

But Wiz completely ignored the atmosphere, talking to Hans as if reminiscing: "It's me! Wiz, the Lich Wiz!"

"I remember Hans-san is a Deadly Poison Slime variant, right? Could it be that Hans-san is poisoning the hot springs-?"

Wiz ran to Hans's side, grabbed his shoulders, and shook him constantly: "Hans-san, why have you been ignoring me since just now! I am Wiz, Hans-san."

After being exposed on the spot by Wiz, Hans still refused to admit it, constantly saying Wiz had the wrong person, and then intended to leave. ]

"The neck, oh the neck, it sounded like something bad happened, is he okay!"

"What a terrifying airhead. She hasn't even realized the severity of the problem. Read the room, Wiz!"

What kind of top-tier teammate is this? She inadvertently sold her teammate out completely. Please stop talking, Wiz. If you keep talking, Hans is going to have a breakdown.

Looking at Hans being constantly backstabbed by his teammate, the crowd from other worlds looked pitiful… Sure enough, being a Demon King General isn't easy, especially when running into Kazuma's party, where no one is sane…

 .....

〜Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious World〜

"Deadly Poison Slime variant… and a Demon King General to boot. As expected, the slimes we encountered before weren't as simple as they looked!"

Seiya recalled the scene where he used his ultimate move on a slime back then. Fortunately, he was cautious enough; otherwise, he would be done for. Who knows, maybe that slime was a General, too.

"There really are slimes serving as Generals…"

Ristarte was also dumbfounded. Isn't this thing a small monster that only exists in the starter village and can be dealt with by ordinary people? How did one become a General!

Looking at Seiya's 'I knew it' face, Ristarte resignedly covered her face with her hand:

"We're really done for now."

This Hero, who couldn't be more cautious, must be rejoicing over his decisiveness in the starter village. He's probably going to become even more cautious from now on.

 .....

[ "I have urgent business and need to go back to the city!" Hans couldn't stand Wiz's harassment anymore and tried to leave with a random excuse.

"Where do you think you're going! Hans."

"We won't let you pass, Hans."

"Do you think that excuse holds water? Hans."

Darkness, Aqua, and Megumin blocked the path. Kazuma also pointed his hand at the face-distorted Hans and spoke: "Give up struggling and reveal your true form! Hans."

"Damn it! Don't just call me Hans, Hans, you bastards!" Seeing he was exposed, Hans stopped pretending and looked at Wiz with annoyance: "Wiz, didn't you say you were going to open a shop? Then don't wander around the hot spring town, go back to work!"

Wiz looked distressed: "That, that's too much! I'm working very hard too, but for some reason, the more I work, the poorer I get…" ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"Hahaha, Hans… sorry, that name really got brainwashed into me by them."

"Even though Wiz has a top-tier title like King of the Undead, I just think she's ditzy and a bit cute!"

'Don't know why the more I work the poorer I get'… That's hilarious. Everyone covered their mouths with their hands, trying to suppress the laughter about to burst out, but their shoulders were shaking uncontrollably.

 .....

〜Frieren: Beyond Journey's End World〜

"Is Wiz-sama serious…"

Fern couldn't help the corners of her mouth rising slightly, laughing softly.

Did Wiz-sama not realize that the goods she stocked were all weird things? High cost and low return aside, the key is that they are hard to sell.

Even your trip to the hot springs now is because Mr. Vanir was afraid you'd continue to squander money in the shop, so you were thrown out!

Frieren was a bit speechless:

"It's precisely because she works so hard every day but gets poorer that makes it tragic, Wiz!"

As the saying goes, being poor isn't scary, but working harder and getting poorer is quite scary!

 .....

[ Seeing this, Hans sighed heavily, looking quite helpless: "Wiz, I remember that aside from maintaining the barrier, you haven't done anything else to help the Demon King's Army. Conversely, you don't oppose us either, so why are you hindering me now!"

Hearing Hans's words, Wiz, the person in question, was even more surprised than him: "EH!! Am I hindering Hans-san? It's just been a long time, I just came up to say hello!"

"That is hindering me!" Hans couldn't hold it back and cursed loudly. But after cursing, he became wary of Wiz again: "What will it be, Wiz? Are you going to fight me!"

He didn't care about the others; the only truly dangerous one was Wiz!

But Wiz had no intention of fighting: "These people are my friends, can we discuss this?"

Hans laughed outright: "You've become so spineless after becoming a Lich, Wiz! When you were an Archwizard wantonly slaughtering us, why didn't you ever say you wanted to discuss things with us!"

Speaking of this, Wiz started squirming shyly: "Back then, I wasn't mature enough…" ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"Hahaha, an airhead is indeed terrifying. She hasn't realized that just by saying hello, she has completely exposed Hans's background."

"Wiz?? Wanton slaughter?? Are you kidding me? Can these words actually be put together?"

The crowd from other worlds turned their gaze to the dazed-looking Wiz… Hmm, impossible, absolutely impossible! Wiz looks like an honest, simple person, no matter how you look at it.

 .....

〜OVERLORD World〜

"Wanton slaughter? Her?"

Shalltear pointed at Wiz on the screen with a face full of disbelief.

It's one thing for Wiz to have a soft personality, usually, and she always gets bullied by Aqua, but was she actually a hot-tempered person before? Say it out loud, why don't I believe it…

Wiz looks like she has nothing to do with fighting and killing. She looks more like a rich second-generation kid starting a business; otherwise, where did she get all that money to open a shop?

Albedo became slightly more serious:

"Don't look at Wiz being easy to bully; you have to look at who is bullying her."

Because Wiz is used to being bullied by Aqua, it gives them the illusion that Wiz is weak, but… in the end, she is General-level. How weak could she be?

 .....

[ "Wiz, if you don't want to fight him, then stand down!"

At this moment, Kazuma blocked in front of Wiz very dashingly, not putting a smile in his eyes at all, and slowly drew Chunchunmaru from his waist: "My name is Satou Kazuma, the man who has defeated many strong enemies!"

Just as Wiz wanted to say something more, Kazuma reached out and covered Wiz's mouth, posing coolly with the sword in his hand: "Let's go, partner!"

Hans glared at Kazuma, somewhat impressed: "No matter who it is, when they know my identity, they kneel and beg for mercy in fear! You seem to have a backbone."

Kazuma didn't realize the severity of the problem at all: "What are you saying? It's just the weakest monster, a slime!"

And judging by the name Deadly Poison, the opponent should focus on poison, but they have Aqua. He couldn't find a reason to lose.

Hans continued in a low voice: "My name is Hans, one of the Demon King's Generals, the Deadly Poison Slime Hans!"

Kazuma, who was still acting cool, visibly panicked. He seemed to have heard the words 'Demon King's General': "What did you just say?…"

Wiz added from the side: "Hans-san's bounty amount among the Generals is also very high. He is very strong, please be careful!"

Kazuma looked stiffly at his party members: "Slimes are small fry, right? They are small fry, right!"

Darkness stared at Hans with full concentration, not daring to be careless in the slightest: "Who told you such stupid things? Slimes are strong enemies! Physical attacks are basically useless. Once you get stuck, you'll either be melted by it or have your mouth blocked and suffocate to death!"

Megumin also warned Kazuma: "And that guy can pollute such a large amount of hot springs. If you touch him directly, there's an eighty percent chance you'll die on the spot."

Kazuma was scared to his little heart, thumping wildly. Did he… provoke a terribly strong enemy just now? ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"Hahaha, I was wondering why Kazuma was so brave this time! Turns out he treated the opponent as a minion, but didn't expect it to be a Demon King General!"

"Brother Kazuma, why don't you guess why Wiz, a Demon King General, would know Hans? And… do you think the weakest slime would speak in that tone?"

The crowd almost died laughing at Kazuma, who was acting cool. No wonder he was so brave today; he thought the other guy was a small fry.

Who told you slimes are small fry? One can only say stereotypes kill people!

The fact that physical attacks are ineffective against slimes is already bugged enough, let alone Hans, who has corrosion and deadly poison attributes.

 .....

〜That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime World〜

"Fellow countryman Kazuma, can you not speak so hurtfully… Some people might have reincarnated as slimes!"

Rimuru pointed at himself, wanting to cry but having no tears.

"Are slimes small fry…"

Shion and the others looked at each other and nodded silently:

"We don't know about other worlds, but in this world, they are indeed small fry. Only you are special."

After all, he became a Demon King, and his strength is terribly powerful! Before this, no one had heard of a slime becoming a Demon King.

〜Sword Art Online World〜

"I seem to be able to understand Kazuma…"

As a top player, Kirito couldn't help covering his face with his hand, because in his opinion, slimes are small fry.

Stereotypes kill people! After all, in general RPG games, slimes are treated as must-fight monsters for beginners, the small fry among small fry.

Asuna's mouth twitched slightly:

"So… Kazuma just purely thought the opponent was a minion and wanted to act cool? In the end, he kicked an iron plate."

She previously thought Kazuma had guessed the opponent's identity based on Wiz's relationship and intended to fulfill the Hero's duty to truly crusade against a Demon King General.

But it turned out to be a misunderstanding… The moment this Hero heard the identity of the Demon King General, he chickened out again.

Sure enough, one shouldn't expect Kazuma to have a cool side. Or rather, this guy has never been handsome for more than three seconds!
