Ch 60 -- Getting Bigger and Smaller

After shivering and shaking for a few seconds Sui suddenly became huge . She was two and a half metres across and maybe a metre and a half high . She was even slightly bigger than Fer .

"Sui has evolved . " Fer said . I used Appraisal on her .

[Name] Sui

[Age] 1 month

[Types] Big Slime

[Level] 2

[Fitness] 684

[Magical Power] 679

[Attack power] 668

[Defense force] 674

[Agility] 682

[Skill] acid bullet, restorative medicine creation, growth

Sui's become a Big Slime and she's already level 2? All her other stats are higher and she's got a new skill too . 'Growth', what does that mean? Is it why she's suddenly so big?

"Fer, you know anything about this 'Growth' skill?"

"Nope . Usually when a Slime gets to be a certain level it splits in two but that's all . "

I'm at a loss . "Sui, you've evolved and you've got a new skill, are you bigger because you used it?" I asked .

"Sui is not sure how but Sui can be bigger or smaller . "

"Bigger OR smaller?" I asked .

"Try-, watch what happens . " As she said that several smaller Slimes split away from Sui and she returned to her original size .

"Everybody- go melt the green guys-" she commanded . The small Slimes climbed on top of the goblin corpses and then they burst, splashing something like acid and dissolving the bodies to the point where even the bones vanished . Both Fer and I were astounded at what we had just witnessed .

"Have you ever seen anything like this, Fer?""Never in my very long life . "

"Hey Sui, what were those small Slimes that split off you?"

"Unn-, that was Sui too-"

"They were Sui as well?"

"You see, if Sui thinks she wants to get big then her body gets big . When Sui wants to get smaller then Sui's big body splits up into little Suis . Sui can talk to the little Suis for a bit of time after Sui divides but not long . "

Uhhh, she can grow big using her 'Growth' skill then she can split up into smaller Slimes afterwards and even talk to them for a short time . Hmmm . . .

"What happens to the divided parts, the little Suis?" I'm worried about that .

"You see, the smaller Suis disappear after a time and Sui stays . " So the split-off bodies only last for a finite time? Wow, that's a really amazing skill . She can stay safe and launch long-range attacks and let the enemy "kill" the split-off bodies without harm to her . A surprise attack would be particularly effective . They might even be able to make lots of Sui's Deluxe High-grade Potion as well .

"Wow, Sui keeps getting stronger . . . " I exclaimed . "That's right . " said Fer . "But it's a good thing, not a problem right?" He had a point .

"Aruji-, my tummy's empty-"

"Muu, definitely . "

I was wondering when these two gluttonous characters would get around to mentioning food .

"Well, I don't fancy eating around here so let's move away a bit . " Being surrounded by goblin corpses wasn't good for my appetite . Sui climbed back into her bag and I got on Fer's back again .

After going for a while I said "Here's fine" to Fer and we stopped .

"I'm a bit tired so d'you mind if I just get out some sweet buns for now?"

"Anything's good as long as you're quick . " Fer growled . Yeah yeah . I bought some buns from the Net Super . As well as the usual anpan and cream buns this time I got melon bread and choco cornets and of course, canned coffee which is the essential accompaniment to sweet buns .

"First time I've seen these . " Fer's sharp eye spotted the melon bread and choco cornets and he zeroed in on them .

"Yeah yeah, hang on and let me get them out for you . "

I opened the bags, lined the contents up on a dish and let Fer and Sui help themselves .

"Unh, tasty-"

"Mu, delicious . First time we've had these . . . "

Sui really liked the sweet buns and Fer liked the melon bread and the choco cornets . I sat back with some canned coffee in my hand and sank my teeth into an anpan . Oh, deee-licious! A tired body craves sweet things .

Thinking back, I wondered how a simple goblin subjugation request had escalated into the destruction of an entire goblin village . Huh- . Well it ended up with me getting the hundred points I needed so it worked out, I suppose .

I had been planning on a long stay in this city but it looks like it's already over . Somehow .
