Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

"What should we do?"

The surrounding villagers watched Kenny's departing figure, then turned to look at Auster, their faces filled with tangled emotions and fear.

Although Kenny said he would resolve the matter, not a single villager present believed him.

While Kenny had indeed been an adventurer, he was old now, and those adventurers from before looked very dangerous.

They didn't want to lose their lives because of that monster, Sally.

"...Let's trust the village chief for now.

If the village chief still hasn't found a solution by the day after tomorrow, then we'll have to tell those adventurers Sally's location."

Auster looked at the surrounding villagers looking at him, and after a few seconds of hesitation, chose to trust Kenny for the time being.

If he didn't resolve the matter as he said by the day after tomorrow, then Auster would have no choice but to apologize to Sally.

The surrounding villagers exchanged glances after hearing Auster's words, nodding their heads in agreement with his suggestion.

On the other side, inside a wooden house in the center of the village, Lester was sitting at the table, devouring dried meat he had brought with him.

As for the food sent by the villagers, he didn't even glance at it, and the other adventurers beside him were the same.

"Captain, why not just grab a few villagers and force them to talk?

They clearly know where that monster, Sally, is."

At this moment, Jean, a redhead, suddenly stood up and questioned Lester.

Previously, he had been secretly observing the expressions of those villagers, and it was obvious that they knew where that little monster, Sally, was.

Jean didn't believe that his captain wouldn't know.

"Jean, does it matter?"

Lester slightly raised his head, a gloomy smile on his thin face, a scar like a centipede making him look like a demon.

"Captain, do you mean we should just take action directly?"

Beside him, several adventurers turned to look at Lester after hearing his words, their faces filled with excited and bloodthirsty smiles, their bodies beginning to stir.

"Don't rush.

Jean, you and Kison go and investigate the situation of this village thoroughly, and also see if the target is in the village.

If she's not there, don't kill the villagers for now.

If she is, I probably don't need to say more, right?"

As early as on the way to the village, Lester had already decided that no one in this village could be left alive.

After all, the reward for this mission they had taken was too tempting, and the employer also demanded that no unrelated people discover it.

In order to complete the employer's mission, they could only make these villagers disappear.

"Yes, then we'll set off."

Saying this, Jean subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth.

They had done similar things many times over the years, and each time they blamed everything on the magical beasts, and often it wasn't even necessary, because no one cared about the disappearance of an ordinary village.

"Heh!"

Watching the two leave, Lester took out a photo from his pocket.

The photo showed a man and a woman holding a child, their faces filled with happy smiles, and the child in their arms was Sally, who had just been born.

And their current commission came from a great noble in a kingdom in the Western countries, asking them to quietly capture Sally and send her to a designated location.

As for where that great noble got the news about Sally, and what he would use Sally for, Lester didn't care at all.

Whether that great noble was a pervert who liked monsters, or planned to use Sally for some experiment, or even train her as a slave, what did it have to do with him?

If it weren't for the fact that the great noble had specifically sought out the Lester team this time, and paid a high reward, they would have long forgotten about this half-human, half-ghost monster, Sally.

......

At the same time, at the village chief Kenny's house, the shadows in the room began to twist continuously, and a thumb-sized slime gradually appeared from within.

Kenny, who was beside him, was not surprised at all by the appearance of Lu Minghao, but instead directly handed over the things in his hand.

"This is the letter that those adventurers sent you?"

Lu Minghao looked at the letter filled with words and also attached a photo.

The photo showed a man and a woman hugging a child, their faces full of happy smiles, and the child in their arms was Sally, who had just been born.

"Yes, a day ago, a villager who had been away suddenly returned and gave me this letter from the Adventurers Guild.

It stated that Sally's father, Chris's, former teammates wanted to meet Sally, and wanted to return the things that Chris and his wife had left in the team for them to keep to Sally in person."

Kenny nodded and told Lu Minghao what was written in the letter.

As early as yesterday, when Kenny received the letter, he had noticed something was wrong.

Regarding those teammates of Sally's father, Chris, Kenny had also learned about everything they had done from Grandma Oran.

It could be said that they were the culprits behind Sally's despairing life since she was a child, but now they actually said they wanted to see Sally, and also return the things left behind by Sally's parents to her.

Understanding that there must be some conspiracy, Kenny, out of inner guilt, originally planned to go and secretly meet Sally completely tonight, to let her quickly escape from here, to escape to a place where those adventurers couldn't find her.

But what Kenny didn't expect was that those adventurers had arrived at the village so quickly, and they hadn't concealed their malicious intentions at all.

"I understand.

Also, you don't need to worry about what happens next, and don't forget about the previous matter."

Lu Minghao swallowed the photo and letter in front of him in one gulp, raised his head and said to Kenny, then his body gradually sank into the shadows.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving all of us."

Kenny looked at Lu Minghao who was about to leave, and quickly bent down and thanked him earnestly.

He knew that if it weren't for Lu Minghao, those adventurers would have slaughtered them all even if they found Sally, this was the intuition of Kenny, who was once an adventurer.

Because from the beginning, Kenny had clearly sensed the strong killing intent on those adventurers, and that was why Kenny had pretended to be so cowardly before, in order to delay time and strive for the possibility of survival.

"No need to thank me, thank yourself if you want to thank someone."

Lu Minghao's body, which was originally sinking into the shadows, paused, raised his head and said to Kenny, then completely disappeared.

Lu Minghao had also heard clearly about what those villagers had said before.

If those villagers hadn't chosen to trust Kenny for the time being, and hadn't gone to inform those adventurers.

Otherwise, when they decided to tell those adventurers where Sally was, the entire village would have been shrouded in purple poisonous fog, and everything would have been corroded away.

"Sally, I'll take you to meet some people."

On the other side, in front of the dilapidated wooden house, Lu Minghao suddenly turned his head and looked at Sally, who was looking at him worriedly.

Ever since Lu Minghao had suddenly stopped moving just now, Sally had become increasingly worried, and even the fragrant barbecue from before had become uninteresting.

"Minghao, where are we going?"

Seeing Lu Minghao waking up, Sally quickly hugged him in her arms, her small, childish face full of curiosity as she asked.

"To meet some acquaintances of yours, Sally..."
