Flying Slime
Note: Slabird changed to Slibird.
So Slibird was the name of the monster.
Perhaps they had something to do with slimes. There was something about it that felt similar to them.
...I would have to ask.
‘...Hey, so, what’s the relationship between you and Slibird?’
‘Uh... Slibird is our friend!’
‘Yes! He carries us as he flies high into the sky!’
‘The slimes tell me where I can hide when it is raining!’
I see.
So they helped each other.
...This seemed like a good monster to tame.
A flying monster that could work together with the slimes. It was very ideal.
‘But we hadn’t seen you for so long!’
‘We rarely see Slibird!’
Apparently, he had made himself scarce recently. So we were quite lucky to find him today.
He wasn’t big enough to draw attention, and no one would look at him strangely if you said he was a pet.
I could probably take him into the guild with me.
‘Slibird, give me a ride! A ride!’
So saying, the slimes tried to get on his back.
...In spite of the fact that Slibird had been dying from poison a second ago...
‘Hey, this bird was just dying...’
‘Okay!’
Before I could stop them, Slibird opened his wings and took off from the ground.
And then in the next instant, he swooped down back to the ground...and with his claws, picked up a slime and rose into the air again.
‘Yay!’
‘So that’s how he carries them...’
...It looked like he was hunting for prey.
In spite of appearances, Slibird was pretty agile.
And he had pretty good speed as well.
But...
‘Ahhh! There’s a monster!’
‘Yuji! Save us!’
So saying, the slime and Slibird returned frantically.
Apparently, Slibird and the slimes had another thing in common. A lack of cautiousness.
Actually...they basically had the same personality, I think.
Well, since he would be flying with them...it was probably a good thing.
And though the slimes appeared to lack caution, they never really made any fatal mistakes.
‘Magic Transfer — Area Freeze: Medium.’
I froze the monster that was chasing Slibird and helped the slimes.
And then Slibird landed in front of me while still holding the slime.
‘Ohhh! It froze!’
‘Yeah. ...I’ll protect you if you’re ever attacked while flying. So don’t worry.’
‘Okay!’
And then I cast several strengthening spells on Slibird.
Unlike Proud Wolf, he wasn’t strong enough to carry me, but now he would be able to carry all of the slimes while they were combined.
So for now, the slime transportation problem had been solved.
As I was thinking about this...I heard the slimes talking.
‘Yuji! Food!’
‘We should trade places soon!’
It seemed that the time had come for them to trade places. And it was rather perfect timing.
While Slibird had only just been healed...he seemed to be in pretty good condition.
After all, the combination of Cure Poison and High Heal had been enough to heal a human completely from carbon monoxide poisoning.
So damage from Cockatrice poison would also heal quickly.
‘Slibird, sorry to ask you so soon...but, can you fly? I want to send some slimes to trade places with the ones in Ordarion. And I want to carry meat at the same time... The slimes will carry the meat, so you just need to carry the slimes.’
‘Can I eat the meat too?’
Ahh...
Even his thought patterns were like the slimes
