A Different Start: The Slime's Love for Fire and Ice

Chapter 7 (draft)

Rimuru Pov:

Yoshi~! Shizu-san is saved, check. Village restroration, ongoing. Fumu! Everything is so far going well. Now... to do the thing that Raphael-san informed me about...

Flashback:

<< Notice... master has newly acquired skills and resistances as a result of analysing the individual "Shizue Izawa" ''s body. >>

Eh? acquired skills? and resistances...? result of analysing Shizu-san...

...

Shizu-san's... body...

<< It is advisable for master to master all skills acquired in order to utilise recources to its fullest extent. >>

I know... you don't have to tell me that. I may not be smart but I'm not a kid either so spare me from that kind of lecture.

<< Hmph! >>

Flashback end:

Problem is... where can I test my abilities though? What about the forest? Err... no. Shizu-san's main element is fire so if Raphael-san managed to somehow also copy that, trees will burn. Dryads will curse me, if they exist in this world, that is. A cave? The rocks might melt...

<< Notice... Vel- >>

Oh! Veldora's cave might suffice. I recall that cave having quite the durable structure. Yoshi~! to Veldora's cave we go!

<<...>>

Raphael-san!

<< Hai, listing the newly acquired skills... complete.

Degenerate
* Synthesis
* Separation

Body Double >>

A/N: Let me know if I missed something

<< Report... Master is now capable of having a human body >>

Body?! I can finally have my limbs back!

"Raphael-san!"

<< Hai >>

Fumu... hmm... the distance my sight used to cover seems narrow now... limbs seems nice. I can hear not that much noise. I wonder how I look like...

Hmm... it's not like there's any mirror in this world yet. From what I've seen when me and Velzard-san were in the sky, the world doesn't seem to be developed that much because not much trees are gone. Oh, Raphael-san said that I also acquired Ifrit's Body Double, right?

"Raphael-san, please create a body double for me."

<< Hai... creating a body double... successful! >>

Raphael-san sure is very helpful... (she always makes those pout sounds though)...

"Thank you, Raphael-san."

<< It is my pleasure >>

Hm... I sure do look like Shizu-san... There's absolutely no traces of what I used to look like back when I was Satoru.

...

I wonder what my gender is... I didn't really look at that area...

*peek*

Arght ! My son isn't there! No peanut either... I'm androgynous...
