A Certain Girl.

"Ballistic Dive!" — A shout was heard from above.

No one knew what was happening until a silhouette appeared and disappeared like a speeding bullet and before they knew it, the patched man's chest got a hole in the middle.

That's when they realized a green liquid-like creature appeared out of it as it suddenly expanded and consumed the man with the eyepatch.

"W-what are you?" One of the men said as he backed off and sweat started to accumulate on his face.

"Nonya..." The little slime replied.

"What?" The man said as the little slime shrank mid-air as his body formed into spikes on each side, stabbing the two men in the chest, "Nonya business!" The slime shouted as he pulled his spikes and expanded once more.

He landed on the ground safely when he got a notification.

[Your skill "Morph" has leveled up!]

"That's three holes in one!" The little slime brightened green as he said a sarcastic little joke. He turned around to see a terrified girl laying down on a tree and the little slime saw she was injured.

The little slime slithered close to the girl. Looking at her real close, she's actually really beautiful—with brown hair flowing down until his waist, covering a part of her eyes. Her slender body covered with a white dress and brown pigments that fit perfectly with her eyes.

"B-beauty..." The little slime started to drool at the sight of the damsel in distress. Like a hero saving a princess. Until he saw the girl's horrified expression, "Yeah, no." he muttered as his imagination broke.

"Don't worry." The little slime said as he hopped to the girl and look at the bruise on her left leg. He proceeded to expand part of his body and touch her bruise when it started to glow white and heal.

"I got this skill from that guy I just killed. I never knew he was a healer hehe." He muttered as he realized that skills from creatures he eats don't get announced, maybe because it isn't his own?

After a minute, the wound from the leg disappeared as the glow followed.

"There you go." The little slime said as the girl was amazed by the little creature's powers.

"T-thanks..." The girl stuttered as she took a hard look into the little slime when she blushed—to see such a really cute creature help her. She then nervously smiled as she remembered how he killed those knights—

The girl panicked as she grabbed the little slime, "Why did you kill them? We're gonna be in lots of trouble!" The girl jiggled the little slime as she shouted, clearly panicking on what's to come.

"What do you mean? They were a-holes." The little slime replied with a baffled face.

"They are Baron Felix's henchmen! If he founds out one of his soldiers has disappeared. He's gonna pinpoint it to me!" The girl was clearly panicking as her thought seemed to indicate death. Not hers, but others—whom the little slime understands.

"By Baron Felix, you mean that fat pig—" The little slime's mouth was covered by the girl's hands as she started to look around.

"Don't say that. He hates being called the F word." The girl said.

"Pfft." The little slime laughed as he thought of something different yet he was also informed that this was indeed that fat bastard's territory.

"Are you from that town?" The little slime asked as the girl nodded, "Then don't tell anyone I exist." The little slime continued.

"W-why?" The girl asked as the little slime hopped.

The little slime smiled with a tint of red on his body when he said, "He killed my home." he coldly said as he looked at the girl.

"Hey patchy, you there!" A voice in the corner shouted. It seemed like they are referring to the man with the eye patch.

The little slime hopped to the direction of the voice, "Get out of here." The little slime said to the girl when he transformed into the patched man.

"W-what are you?" The girl was horrified yet she was also amazed.

"Just get out of here! Quick! Before they find you!" The little slime insisted as the girl stood up and ran, only to stop and look at him one more time—to see the visible blood lust in his eyes.

She shrugged away to feel only but regret and shame, running farther away from the slime.

"Even though I ate a lot of humans at the crater last time, the transformation still isn't complete." The little slime muttered as he looked at himself as he converted all the transformation at the front of his body and disregarded the back since it can't be seen by the incoming knights.

"With this, my front looks close to a perfect mimic, yet not at the back." He muttered as his back was completely transparent.

The slime smirked as he looked back to the direction of the voice to see three guys with swords on their scabbard.

"Hey, where did the others go?" One of the men asked as he felt like something was wrong.

"It seems like they are chasing the girl." The little slime said as he crossed his arms

"Then why are you here?" One of the men asked as the little slime was silent, "Is something wrong? It looks likes there are green liquid coming out of you—"

The man suddenly felt sharpness in his stomach as the others were terrified by what the patched man did. Only to feel more terror as it suddenly expands and covers the stabbed man whole.

The horror was more than enough to activate Fight or Flight Mode, in which they chose to run.

Only to feel a melting sensation in their back as they realized they were hit by something acid.

The forest that was filled with silence temporarily became hell and before we knew it, they were consumed by the little slime, "Eight down, Two more to go." he muttered

"A-are you safe?" The little slime turned back in a surprise to see that the girl that he saved earlier was peeking behind a tree.

"Why are you still here?" The slime asked

"Please..." The girl came out of the tree as she came closer and bowed to the slime, "Save this town!"

The little slime was surprised, "What do you mean?" The little slime asked curiously, as he guessed what kind of problem this town was in.

"I grew up here and I treated this as my home. It wasn't until five years ago when King Felix became the ruler of this town that everything became wrong. He imposed heavy taxes for his own selfish reason and struck the town into poverty."

The girl started to cry as tears dropped to the ground. Imaginations of her beloved town crumbling to the town; her family, her friends, and the kids. She didn't want them gone.

It was until a warm feeling came to her shoulders as she looked at the little slime, "Don't worry. That was my intention in the first place." He said as he backed off a bit, transforming into a human.

"I will help you."
