But what did Slime do wrong?

For Atsushi Nakajima, all these happenings were so bizarre that it even made him feel confused, there was no way to understand how things developed to where they are today.

Atsushi Nakajima is an orphan.

Although he has been growing up in an orphanage, it is a pity that the dean of the orphanage where Atsushi Nakajima works is not a good dean for children - at least Atsushi Nakajima himself thinks that there is nothing wrong with it.

He has been locked in a small dark house by the headmaster for many years, and he is rarely released to play or talk with other children, and he still needs to do a lot of work.

And the dean's attitude towards him is always strict, with a serious and indifferent expression on his face. Atsushi Nakajima almost instinctively thinks that the other party dislikes him very much—or even loathes him.

Under such circumstances, if Atsushi Nakajima is not a masochist, he would naturally have the idea of ​​escaping from this orphanage.

It's a pity that the dean has always regarded him as deadly, and most of the time he locked up Atsushi Nakajima tightly. He didn't have such an opportunity.

Then, one day.

Atsushi Nakajima got such an opportunity.

Atsushi Nakajima can still clearly remember the scene that happened that night, there was a dense fog that came from nowhere and covered the whole area.

There was a death-like silence all around, as if all other signs of life had disappeared except for himself, and he was the only one left in the whole world.

"Hello... anyone?"

Atsushi Nakajima came to the door and asked tentatively.

At first, no one responded to him.

Atsushi Nakajima knocked on the door with some reluctance, the "dong dong sound" spread far and far because of the silence, and could even produce echoes in a closed room.

However, after a while, Atsushi Nakajima finally heard a voice other than his own.

It was the roaring sound of wild beasts, which came from far and near, and at last it was close at hand. Through the closed iron gate, Atsushi Nakajima felt that he could hear the heavy breathing that was only separated by a wall.

Then, something huge bumped into it and slammed hard on the door, causing the entire door to vibrate.

Atsushi Nakajima: "...Huh?"

He wanted to go forward, but a certain instinct in his body was constantly warning him that it was better for him to stay away from that door.

Atsushi Nakajima complied with such instructions—of course, he would soon discover that his decision was correct.

Because, Atsushi Nakajima saw that under the force of the thing outside, the iron door that should have been solid broke open like butter cut by a knife, revealing the creature outside.

That is a tiger.

With a translucent body, it looks a little thin, like long-term malnutrition-but even so, compared with Atsushi Nakajima, it still looks huge and amazing.

The composition of this tiger's body is very strange, it is a kind of faint blue translucency, it looks like a ghost—or something else, anyway, it is not a living life, but more inclined to a material body.

And the tiger's whole body, the only "solid" part is the blood-red crystal on its forehead, emitting an ominous red light here.

Tiger stood at the door of the broken warehouse, his body blocked the door tightly, looked at Atsushi Nakajima inside the warehouse, opened his mouth, showing sharp fangs.

Atsushi Nakajima felt the undisguised strong killing intent from the opponent.

This strange beast was determined to kill him.

What happened after that, Atsushi Nakajima can't remember very clearly.

He only knew that in order to be able to survive, after finding that there was really no way to escape, he had to fight that tiger to the death.

What is the final outcome?

Atsushi Nakajima no longer remembers.

All he knew was that he was fighting to the death and finally lost consciousness.

And when Atsushi Nakajima opened his eyes again and regained consciousness...

He became that white tiger.

There is no way to speak, and there is no way to change back to the original appearance.

Nakajima Atsushi didn't know how this situation happened, and he didn't know how he should get out of this predicament.

But he somehow knew that his appearance could not be seen by outsiders, so he hid in Yokohama every day.

But even so, the news that "there will be white tigers haunting Yokohama at night" still spread.

white tiger.

This is a rarity.

Therefore, no matter how careful Atsushi Nakajima was and how he wanted to avoid the crowd, he was finally caught under deliberate calculations.

Then it was sent to the auction...and, it was bought by the store manager who was wearing a Tang suit and had golden and purple pupils.

"...I thought it was the same family of Xihu, but it turns out that it is not the real [Tiger]?"

Earl D stretched out his hand to run along the fur of Atsushi Nakajima, and sighed helplessly.

"Forget it." He said, "I'm not familiar with supernatural powers...then it's better to keep this appearance for now. This way, I can stay longer in the store."

What can Atsushi Nakajima say?Atsushi Nakajima has no room to refute and make a decision at all, he is just a weak, pitiful and helpless tiger now!

So he could only be put on a collar in a state of anxiety, and then dragged all the way... to a pet shop.

Atsushi Nakajima:?

Wait, is there something wrong here?

You can clearly see that I am not human, right? ——That's fine, even if it's regarded as a tiger, what kind of pet store would sell tigers as pets? !

Atsushi Nakajima: Fried Hair.jpg

But I have to admit that in Earl D's pet shop, Atsushi Nakajima felt that his life was much better than the life in the orphanage as a human being.

It seems good to live like this... Atsushi Nakajima thought so.

then.

In this way, he was brought in front of Limuru by Earl D.

Atsushi Nakajima: "?"

What is this for?

...No, that's a slime, right?Is this also a species that will appear in Earl D's shop?

Atsushi Nakajima widened his glasses, looking at Rimuru in front of him, and Tohsaka Sakura who was holding him, his face was full of bewilderment.

"Wait, isn't it, Count?"

Rimuru jumped in Tohsaka Sakura's arms anxiously.

"I said hey, is that a tiger? Can this be used as a pet?"

Please come up with some reliable opinions!count!Don't live up to my trust and expectations like this!

"Huh? I think it's okay."

Count D replied with a smile.

"Please don't worry, Your Highness Limuru, because this is actually not a real tiger, so there won't be any problems."

While Earl D said this, he stretched out his hand towards the white tiger in the cage.

"This is actually a young supernatural being who can't control his own abilities. It was auctioned off as a tiger before, and I just bought it when I saw it....His Royal Highness Limuru? Your expression Doesn't it look too good?"

"Ah...this..."

Limulu looked at the white tiger in front of him with a delicate expression.

Think about it, why did he bring Tohsaka Sakura into this pet shop?

Yes, because Tohsaka Sakura's three-colored cat is gone, Rimuru, as a teacher, wants to make up for her well-behaved little disciple.

So why are pet cats gone?

——Because that's not a real cute cat at all, but a supernatural being who is really an old man, hey!

As a result, now, what was brought in front of Rimuru and Tohsaka Sakura was a supernatural being who turned into an animal because of his supernatural power.

Rimuru: I think there seems to be something wrong with this.

"What's the matter? Is it not to your liking?"

Earl D watched his words and feelings.

Rimuru: "I still want to choose a real animal for Sakura..."

"Is that so... I understand what you mean."

Earl D nodded, already having a plan in his heart.

But when he was about to take Atsushi Nakajima away, Rimuru stopped him.

"That... wait, Count."

Rimuru hesitated for a while, but still called out to him.

"Yes, Your Highness?"

Earl D stopped and looked back at him.

"Let me see that kid."

Rimuru jumped out of Tohsaka Sakura's arms, and the moment he landed, he turned into a delicate boy with long hair reaching his waist, and walked towards Earl D and Baihu.

Good, so beautiful...

Atsushi Nakajima, who had never seen many girls, watched him approaching in a trance, thinking belatedly in his mind, is this the slime just now?

Limuru came to the iron cage and stretched out his hand to open the cage door.Atsushi Nakajima hesitated to come out, but shrank back suddenly as if remembering something.

There's a reason he's in a cage.

Earl D is not the kind of person who would abuse animals. The reason why Nakajima Atsushi was also locked up in the ark was because he had a history of being completely dominated by supernatural powers and completely unable to control himself when he went berserk.

Atsushi Nakajima himself understood this, so he expressed his understanding and obedience to the earl's decision, even if the cage door was opened, he was unwilling to step out.

After staring at him for a while, Limulu stretched out his hands, and gently hugged the head of the white tiger in front of him.

Atsushi Nakajima: "...Huh?"

He was a little overwhelmed, and even restrained his breathing subconsciously.

"Okay, I see."

Limuru straightened up, turned around, and looked at Earl D.

"This child, I will take it away."

Count D laughed.

"In that case, it could not be better."

The tiger with supernatural powers belongs to the king with supernatural powers.

This is the most correct choice and ending.
