Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken novel Chapter 57

Kagurazaka Yuuki was an openhearted good guy.

His age should be in the second half of the 20s, but his look is still like a high school student.

I heard the reason; it was due to some kind of curse.

When he comes to this world, it seems he didn't acquire any unique skill or unique abilities, only his physical abilities that grow abnormally.

[Well~, I give up.

Actually, I noticed something was strange after five years have passed.....]

He says that while laughing and scratching his head.

Thanks to that, I heard he never had a date with women before. Actually, he is a fellow who possesses a good impression.

[Well, is that so?! That's disappointing!

Ha ha ha. Eventually it'll turn better!]

I'm comforting him sincerely.

[By the way, Rimuru-san, are you a Monster?

But how could you pass the barrier of the Association headquarters?]

[N? Ah, I'm a Monster. My true identity is slime. This trivia, please conceal it!]

[No, no! That's not just a trivia!

Not that.Why did you made such city for monsters?]

[Eh? No, there are enough monsters to establish a city, is it unusual?]

[No..... Although from what I heard there's no other like......]

[Is that so?]

[That's right]

We stare at each other for a while.

Well, whatever.

For now I decided to get along with the Leader of Association (Grand Master).

It is to discourage the city's image as a suspicious monsters city, for now let's talk about the truth.

Come to think about it, Shizu-san is aware of my true identity from the air I carry. I think she's an amazing person.

Usually, there is no one that will think a person from another world would reincarnate as a slime.

[Actually, I'm a "Space Alien"....]

[What are you trying to say? You?

Rather, it's the first time I heard space alien since coming here!

By any chance......]

[Damn, I was exposed!

So, my true identity is a mysterious hero that fights after doing Transformation (Form Change)! Kamen Racer!]

*pose*! Or as close as I could do, (TL: Nice!)

[How nostalgic! Kamen Racer, I was watching it too!

So, as I thought, Rimuru-san you're.... a Japanese, right!]

Fufu.

After I tell some material that only fellow countrymen could understand, it's a bull's eye.

In case, he doesn't know the story, at that time I will think about something else.

After that, we talk about various things together.

Things that happen after coming to this world, Shizu-san's final moments.

Living in this world, Magic.

The topics from the world on the other side. Such like endings and final episodes of Manga and Anime, he leans his body forward and really get into it.

[Master! From this point, please instruct me by all means!] (ED: us? Haven't read 55 & 56) (TL: Sorry after checking the raw, it's me not us)

[Fu Fu Fu. It's difficult. The anime you really want to know is already completed!

Of course, on those matters the great I won't make any mistakes, I will restrain on what should not be said. (TL: Should I write it as "I will not give unnecessary spoiler")

It's a gentleman's etiquette!!!]

[Ha ha~~~!!! By all means, of course!]

His Desperation comes out.

In the middle of the conversation, the secretary onee-san entered the room with tea,

She opened her eyes in shock and almost dropped the tray.

As expected, the prank has probably ended.

Well, He can't read the continuation of his favorite manga, so it's natural for him to be interested.

Among them, some had reached its conclusion, but most of them didn't advanced that much.

Some of them were interesting but some were awful.

That's what I expected from him, Japanese "World Traveler" that has knowledge after living in this world for 10 years.

Of course, the serious talks begin now.

The previous one is only casual talk.

[Rimuru-san, the reason you came to the Royal Capital, is not only to meet me,your fellow countrymen, right?

Is your goal to "Return"?]

Return.

I'm thinking about it. However, I gave up on it.

Because I'm already dead. However, for young people such as them, returning might be their goal.

[Are you able to do that?]

Regarding this question, the response that comes was silence.

It's not an easy thing to do.

If it is an easy thing to do, they would already return a long time ago. I already thought that.

[It's like a one way road. This world is like a half material world.....]

And, I understood the explanation he gives.

It's simple; the previous world was a full material world, because there is no magic power on Earth.

Spirits, demons, fairies, monsters can exist because there are magic power in this world.

Therefore, you can easily go down, but it's impossible to climb up.

Once your body became half material, you can't turn back easily into your full material body.

[However, there is a way.

From the legend in the material world (Earth) about demon and devil, if some conditions are met, it is possible to travel between worlds.]

The talks had been finished.

Well, it is what is called steps in a research.

For that goal, I guess I would like to continue hearing the progression of the research.

[Well, if I'm able to live carefree, then that's enough.

The town had been finished, and it's enjoyable to be together with my companion.

To converse with fellow countrymen is one of the biggest reason I come to this Royal Capital.

But there's actually another purpose besides it, and that's.....]

The other purposes were.

To buy magic stones and inspecting the Royal Capital. To measure the degree of civilization, those visits are that important.

However, the most important purpose I had not forgotten.

That is, to learn magic!

[Well, there were several purposes.

It's good to talk with you, after this I want to visit the Library.]

When I said that,

[Ah, I see. So, it's Magic right? That sure is nice...

I also want to learn some of it, however for some reason I can't use it.

I think it might be because the change in my body's nature.

Magic, would be a man's special romance......]

This person, it seems that he is also the kind of person who understood a man's romance.

As expected, since it exists he wants to be able to use it.
