Tempest
As I thought, after seeing veldora for the first time the slime lost his composure.
To his defense he looks dangerous.
The body, startlingly similar to a Western-style dragon's, shone like obsidian. There were six fingers on each "hand," equipped with claws that looked ready to tear through whatever they found. The two pairs of wings on his back—one larger than the other—came to a point at their respective ends, like swords honed to perfection and ready to dice.
(You do remember your promise, yes? And considering your previous complaints, you learned rather quickly, no?)
(Oh, of course! I was just joking a little, is all. I can see just fine, and plus I can hear now, too. I really appreciate this!)
As he was thanking the dragon I was curious about the skill acquisition and asked him about it.
(Did you hear a voice in your mind after acquiring the skill.)
(You mean
suprisingly the slime seems to know about after Inquiring further, I learned that anyone can hear the Voice of The World, Usually the only times it communicats with beings is when a change happens in the world, a skill is acquired or someone goes through evolution. it neither takes direct action nor plays a hand in any of the world's and its inhabitants' actions.
(By the way, Veldora, you said something about being…sealed away?)
the slime asked veldora noticing the dome-like energy surrounding him
(Mm? Ah. Yes, I perhaps underestimated my opponent slightly. I eventually began fighting with, shall we say, more urgency, but…well, it was rather too late by then!)
The dragon sounded almost proud of his losing performance. Magic was one thing, but I doubted there was a normal weapon would scratch him, I shouldn't underestimate anyone here.
(Was your opponent that tough? )
(She was…quite strong. She was what the humans call a "hero," one blessed with so-called divine protection Now that I recall, the hero also said she was "summoned." Perhaps she hails from the same area as you.)
(Oh? I dunno… Where I come from, nobody's that strong, you know?)
(Perhaps, but many otherworlders come here bearing special powers. Powers that are chiseled into their souls in the midst of their journey. The summoned will always bear one such skill—a unique skill, one exclusive to them and them alone. Unlike the otherworlders who come here by sheer accident, these people bear a soul strong enough to withstand the stress of the summoning process. The fact that said summoning process so rarely succeeds in this world otherwise proves as much.)
(When you say "summoning process," do you mean…magic, or whatever? )
(Precisely. A process requiring at least thirty magicians conducting a ceremony that takes place over three days. It is rarely successful, but it is seen as a powerful weapon to have in one's arsenal, should the need arise.)
(You say a weapon, looks like there more behind the title of a hero)
I though it was simple a hero and demon lord but as always any world is not so black and white!
(Mm. Those summoned in such a manner are bound by a magical curse upon their soul, unable to resist the orders of their masters.)
(Whoa, really? No human rights or anything? ) exclaimed the slime looks like he is still naive about the real world.
(Human rights? What rights would one possibly expect in this, of all worlds? Do not entertain such fantasies in this realm, little one. The only law that reigns here is survival of the fittest. Might, as they say, makes right.
Well, huh. If you got summoned to this world, no point hoping that your old values applied over here, I guessed. Bit hard to accept that).
(So are you saying that otherworlders pretty much get treated like slaves here?)
(No. It depends. There is no Domination Stamp applied to them. If society accepts them, they are free to live their lives as they please. They can become adventurers or the like. Many otherworlder adventurers have sought my head… They learned the error of their ways soon enough! Hyaaa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!)
(So you're only forced into servitude if you were summoned by someone)
(Not "servitude," exactly, but I suppose so, yes. I like to believe I know a great deal about the humans, but "a great deal" is not everything.)
Oh wel, for a dragon he knows a lot, we kept inquiring about information and he answered all our questions. he was quite nice for a dragon
(All right! Well, um… What do you think? We are all Friends, then? )
it was then that the slime awkwardly opened up to us , looks like he isn't so uneasy now
(Wh-what? A mere slime, daring to seek the friendship of the mighty beast feared worldwide as Veldora the Storm Dragon?!)
(Oh, um, you don't have to if you don't want, but…)
(You fool! You foolish fool!! Who said anything about not wishing it?!)
(Oh, no? Okay, so, um…now what? )
(—Mmm, indeed… If you insist…I suppose I could consider it…)
While I listened to their interaction I could feel him sneaking furtive glances at the slime and me, not what you'd expect from a mythical beast.
(Yep. I insist. It's settled! all three of us are friends, And if you don't like it, then watch out, 'cause I'll never come back!)
That was quite the unexpected but I accepted it, I don't mind be friends with them they see to be good characters.
(Well, To future times, then!)
(Indeed! To future times! …Ah, yes, allow me to give the two of you a name. In exchange, you will come up with one to us three.)
(A name for our group that quite unexpected!)
Veldora then explains that this is the solution to my problem of stabilizing my form
(It shall chisel into our souls the fact that we are of the same rank. Something similar to the family names the humans use—except my name, for you, will also provide a kind of divine blessing. You two are nameless now, but through this, you will become a full-fledged named entity.)
When I heard veldora solution I understood.
(Oh so it is some type of bestowal from strong entity, since my body was condensed with the help of your energy I think it would work.)
I am not good at coming up with names so I asked the slime and he came up with quite the suitable name I have to say.
"Tempest"
