‘Yuji! It’s midday now!’

Midday.

I woke up to the sounds of slimes.

They had also woken up Tina and Lisa, and we all came out of our tents at the same time.

‘Good job guys. …Did anything happening during the night?’

‘No!’ ‘No!’ ‘No!’

They shouted together.

Apparently, everything had been peaceful.

“Alright, everyone is awake then. We’ll leave here in fifteen minutes.”

Tina gave the order as she looked around.

“Got it.”

“Understood. …Should I have the slimes carry our things?”

So saying, I folded up my tent and handed it to a slime.

I had been hiding their ‘Slime Storage’ feature up until now, but since Rodis was gone, I didn’t feel like it was still necessary.

“What? You can do that!?”

“Oh, this is going to be so much easier now!”

Tina and Lisa looked in awe as the slime stored things that were bigger than it.

“Yeah. Though, I’m not sure what would happen if something happened to the slime.”

“…When you put it that way, I feel a little nervous… After all, they are just slimes, even if they can fight a little…”

Tina started to have doubts.

Then the slime turned to me and said.

‘Even if I died, the other slimes would carry the stuff! …But please don’t let me die!’

…Apparently, they could pass the stuff on to other slimes when they died.

That was a lot better than the stuff being destroyed or scattered everywhere.

Though, I would have to explain it to Tina, as she could not hear the slime’s voice.

“Alright, I’ll just have them carry things that aren’t so important. Is that fine with you?”

“Me too!”

They came to this conclusion before I could explain to them what would happen if the slime died. Still, it made sense that they would not want to leave their valuables with some monster.

“Yeah, that’s fine.”

“Thank you! …It would help a lot.”

“Thanks!”

And so Tina and Lisa gave some of their baggage to the slime.

As it was not a particularly long quest, they didn’t have that much stuff…so it was about 5 kilograms in all.

But that would still have a big effect on their mobility.

And so we continued on our quest, now traveling much lighter.

“Got it.”

“Understood.”

And so we entered formation and made our way deeper into the forest.

Around us, the slimes created a security net.

…It was known for being a dangerous forest, and so there were lots of monsters to detect.

I would quickly run out of MP if I killed every one we saw.

Well, there shouldn’t be any problem with only killing the ones that got close.

I thought as I targeted a monster that entered a slime’s vision.

…But on the other hand, this was a good opportunity to test different kinds of magic, so it would be a waste to just use the same magic over and over again.

I wanted to search for more useful magic while I had the chance.

However, I was also scared that I might accidentally use something like Hellfire of Death and cause mass devastation. And of course, it would completely deplete my MP.

If only there was a way to search for magic that didn’t use much MP… As I wondered this, a certain spell entered my mind.

‘MP Limiter.’

Apparently, it allowed you to limit what magic you could use by the amount of MP.

…That was convenient. How had I not noticed it before?

Well, it was probably because I hadn’t acquired it through reading a book, but it was acquired because a slime read it for me.

It seemed that with magic acquired through slimes, I only remembered them when I first thought about using them.

I considered this as I searched through my magic.

Unlike most times, most of the magic that appeared in my head seemed to be quite weak.

It seemed that when using the MP Limiter, I couldn’t even remember any magic that used a lot of MP. That was neat.

However, I still had no idea what the actual limit was.

In that case, perhaps I could…

‘MP Limiter, Limit: 10.’

I chanted silently. Then the number of spells I could think of decreased.

So I could actually adjust the amount of MP depletion then.

I might as well drop it to the lowest then.

‘MP Limiter. Limit: 1.’

I chanted…now only 4 spells remained.

They were ‘Weak Fire Bullet,’ ‘Gravel Bullet,’ ‘Water Supply,’ and ‘Wind Cut.’

All of them used 1 MP.

And so I decided to test all of them one by one.

Translator: Hello, thanks for reading. It’s that time again! 10 Years After doesn’t have that many chapters left until completion. I am therefore looking for something to replace it, so please suggest something you are interested in!

I won’t rule anything out(as long as it is a Japanese WEB NOVEL) but I am more likely to pick something up if the chapters aren’t terribly long. Cheers.
