"What is the problem now?" – asked Phantasia.

"I mean... I thought it would be big or feel grand... But you kind of made this somewhat nice moment feel.... Meh."

"It was just way too easy!"

"Oh, shut it." – said Phantasia.

"I really have no freaking time to go on some kind of grand adventurers to search for the special race for me, while we have all that bullshit on our hands already."

"Hm... Quiet nice." – said Phantasia as he was checking his new race.

"..."

"It still kind of feel undeserved." – said Maparapara.

"I really hoped for some kind of epic fight at least, but you just snapped your fingers and gotten it... It does kind of feel like a massive bullshit or lazy writing."

"I mean, I straight up had all the conditions already fulfilled and what not."- replied Phantasia.

"There was really no point in writing the story in first place."

"Honestly speaking, the worst part should had been the ritual scroll."

"But because I’m rich like fucking hell, I was able to just do it like nothing."

"I mean... Well... Yeah?" – said Maparapara.

"..."

"STILL! THIS IS STUPID! STRUGGLE!" – shouted the slime girl as she snapped.

"I would had been less pissed off if you had obtained some kind of weaker race! But not a freaking lich! Fuck you dude! Just fuck you!"

"...I kind of get where she is coming from." – said Thanatos.

"I mean, vampire at first is weak ass race and you need to grow it and evolve over and over to make it useful and then powerful."

"But honestly speaking, the way you had obtained the lich race... Welp, it does feel like you cheated."

"Meh. Say what you want." – said Phantasia.

"It may had been too easy or be straight up cheating, but hey."

"All that matters that I have it."

"Anyway, now this is done, let’s go over the second matter of today."

"Where are they?"

"?"

"Who?" – asked Maparapra.

"..."

"Slimes.... For fuck’s sake." – said Phantasia.

"!?"

"Oh! Right! Them!" – said Maparapara as she led Phantasia and Thanatos through the castle, before then arriving at the garden room.

"They are here." – said Maparapara as she show to the duo, a group of people... But they were not normal.

They were slimes that took on a humanoid appearance.

Some appeared like males, while some appeared like females.

Some appeared like adults, while some papered to be extremely young.

Some were blue, while some were red.

"..."

(So, these are the slime people?) – thought Phantasia as Maparapara stepped forward.

"Everybody. Thank you for waiting." – said Maparapara as she walked towards the visible nervous crowd of slime people.

"This is the person I’ve told you about."

"Phantasia. He is the owner of this city."

"..."

"H-hello." – said red male looking slime as he and the other slimes visible looked nervous upon encountering Phantasia.

"..."

"At ease." – said Phantasia.

"Maparapara brough you, so I won’t do anything funny to you."

"Still... Is this all of you?"

"..."

"Yes." – said the red male slime.

"There is only 63 of us left after that genocide."

"...And why they did it? Do you know?" – asked Phantasia.

"No! We don’t!" – said the red male slime.

"We lived in peace! Always hiding from the outside world and the conflict!"

"But then they suddenly appeared!"

"They didn’t even tried talking to us or anything! They instantly tried slaughtering us on the spot!"

"These.... Animals!"

(But why?) – thought Phantasia.

(The answer is simple.)

(Maparapara found the temple inside of slimes hidden settlement.)

(They were looking for the temple... And so, they chose the most destructive way of finding it as soon as possible.)

(Destroy the whole settlement and get rid of anybody who gets in their way.)

"What about the temple? From what we found out, it seems that was the reason why they did all of this."

"?"

"Temple?" – said the confused red male slime.

"I think they are talking about that place we found after we left." – said the childish looking purple female slime.

"After they had left our home... Or what remained of it, me and few other girls found the weird temple."

"They were the ones that led me to it." – said Maparapara.

"..."

"Are you saying that they had murdered all of us... Because of it?" – said the red slime with conflicted expression on his face.

"..."

"Yes." – said Phantasia.

"That temple... It was guarding something from the people who were not worthy, to keep it from the invaders from the different worlds."

"A power, you might say."

"And if I understand it correctly, the slime empress of yours may had known about this."

"However, she chose to not say anything in order to protect the settlement and make sure that it would stay hidden."

"But if that is the case, then how did the enemy knew that the temple was even there? Or how they even knew how to enter the settlement?"

"..."

"We don’t know... We are just nobody’s really... Everybody important died when trying to save the citizens or were slaughtered when they fought the invaders." – said the red male slime.

"..."

"But I saw her."

"There was that bastard."

"Gum."

"He was once an elven mage, before he proven himself and passed the trial of the slime, turning himself into a slime."

"And I saw her."

"Her."

"She was taking part in that slaughter."

"She was the one who must had brough them!"

"..." – Phantasia looked towards Maparapara, but she shook her head in response.

(So, she doesn’t know that player named Gum?) – thought Phantasia.

(But then, how did they learned about the temple?)

"..."

"Well, I’m going to say this straight." – said Phantasia.

"I’m sorry what had happened to you."

"Considering what I’ve heard, it seems you are not aware of the whole truth yourself, so I won’t be interrogating you too much or anything like that."

"I still have few questions that I want to be answered... But they can wait."

"For now, let’s talk about your fate."

"The reason why I’m helping you is simple."

"Maparapara likes you people."

"She is also one of you, a loyal one."

"So, I’m paying the debt to her by helping you out."

"And now, about your current situation."

"I had my people look around the scene and I’m going to be honest."

"There is no way we can repair that city of yours."

"!"

"W-wait! You mean I you can’t do that?!" – asked the blue female slime.

"Nope." – replied Phantasia.

"I’m good and making stuff as well as repairing it."

"But that bastard who did that to you pretty much destroyed everything to the point of no return."

"The only way to do is to make a brand new city from the scratch."

"However, there is obviously a problem."

"They know that you live there and from what I was also told, the natural protection that also hid your city was destroyed during the slaughter."

"So, I’m going to say this straight."

"Hate me or not."

"You cannot go back home, even if we build a village for you all."

"People will find you again and kill you."

"It is that simple."

"..."

"So... You are saying we have no choice but to abandon our home completely?" – asked the male red slime.

"Well, what do you choose?" – asked Phantasia.

"..." – the slimes couldn’t muster out the answer... They were scared.

Nobody answered the question.

Some tried to argue between each other... But they couldn’t say anything towards Phantasia in the end.

"First thing first. We will be not talking now." – said Phantasia.

"If you didn’t noticed, all of you are still in rough shape."

"You are my guesses here and you will be taken care of until you fully recover. I will also prepare places for you to all stay and what not."

"Afterwords, we will be having the talk."

"And then we will decided what we will do about having you obtaining new place you can truly call home."

"But for now, take it easy and recover."

"You can breathe."

"..."

"Thank you." – said the red male slime.

"There is no need to thank me." – said Phantasia.

"Just do as I say and focus solei on your recovery."

"Okay?"
