LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 13 Waiting in line
Hmm… Nah, I’ll just leave them be. I might fuck with them a bit though… Right, I hereby dub you Mob A and Mob B! Let’s see… I’ll just make them forget about me. I wonder how this will go…
[Rune Master].
And so, I get a rune sequence in my mind. I subtly make a piece of paper with the runes written on them and infuse it with my magicules. As the runes light up, I throw it at them.
*Flash!*
After a small flash of light, their eyes dim, and they turn around and head back to their group further away who also have dim eyes. Yeah, that was a memory wiping rune. My inspiration? Men in Black. Hehehe…
Anyway, they no longer remember me. Of course, I made them do something else to mess with them a bit, but otherwise, it’s fine.
5 minutes later…
Mob 1- “Hey! Hey, check it out, there’s a monster out here! We can kill ’em, right? We aren’t inside yet.”
Mob 2- “Yeah, what the hell are you guys standing in line for? You think we’re gonna letcha do that, you little runts? Gimme your spot before we kill you! And leave your crap there, too, all right? Then we’ll letcha go!”
Hmm? I look behind me and lo and behold, it’s Mob 1 and Mob 2. Hey! It’s been a while! How were you?… Wait. Why are you guys back!?
<<Notice. There is a 69% chance that they noticed you after their memories were wiped and they came over and acted like they always would.>>
Nice. But their memories did indeed get wiped. And that gift I gave them is also still there…
I think such things as I look up to their heads. Mob 1, the one with a screw in his head (this guy has a literal fucking screw in his head), is no longer bald. Instead, he is sporting a head of glorious blonde hair many supermodels would want to die for that reaches all the way to his back.
Mob 2, on the other hand, has no changes to the length of his hair.
Yeah, the length, that is. But his hair is now a shade of bright hot pink. Furthermore, it’s sparkling. I made it so that anyone who was hit by the memory wiping flash wouldn’t notice the changes. But for those who didn’t, on the other hand…
Several people in the line ahead of me look back. They see my situation, turn to look forward again… before snapping their heads back with wide eyes wondering what the fuck happened to Mob 1 and Mob 2.
I'm at the end of the line. Furthermore, since I'm a slime, no one is bothering to pay attention to me or defend me. Because of this, no one except the Mobs and their friends got hit by the memory wiping flash. And so…
???- “What the fuck…?”
Every one of them who looked back to see who’s making this commotion notice the change from the first time this happened. And so they whisper to their neighbours, pointing in this direction, making sure we can't hear them. Well, I can hear them as clear as day, but Mob 1 and Mob 2 can't.
???- “What happened to their hair?”
???- “I don’t know. The first time I looked at them it wasn’t like this…”
???- “I'm so jealous…”
???- “I know, his blonde hair doesn’t fit with his ugly face. Such a shame.”
???- “E-eh? O-oh, right. That one. Mmm.”
I’ll ignore that guy.
Mob 1- “Oi! Quit ignoring me ya punk!”
Mob 1 flicks his glorious hair backwards in a completely natural motion and tries to get my attention again…
Rimuru- “You guys are fucking stupid. You know slimes can't normally see or hear anything, right? Why are you calling out to me?”
Mob 2- “O-oh really…? Wai- Quit messin’ with me ya puny slime! I’ll kill you real good, ya hear!?”
Mob 1- “Hey, isn’t a talking slime pretty rare? Maybe we could get some money outta selling it.”
Rimuru- “You? Want to sell me?”
… I wouldn’t mind getting sold to a beautiful rich ojou-sama as a pet. And then I can snuggle up with her and…
(A/N: Fucking simp. *Ptui*)
I’ll just wipe their memories again. I check if anyone is looking, and…
*Flash!*
5 minutes later…
Mob 1- “Hey! Hey, check it out, there’s a monster out here! We can kill ’em, right? We aren’t inside yet.”
Mob 2- “Yeah, what the hell are you guys standing in line for? You think we’re gonna letcha do that, you little runts? Gimme your spot before we kill you! And leave your crap there, too, all right? Then we’ll letcha go!”
Oh my god. I turn around the first thing that I see are their weapons. They aren’t daggers and swords anymore. They’re fucking magical girl wands.
And not the ones from Fate either. They’re just pointing these plastic sticks with stars at the ends at me as if they’re highly lethal shit.
… What do I even do in this situation. The people are looking at them like they’re some kind of zoo animals now. Of course, Mob 1 and 2 don’t notice. Uhm… The third time’s the charm?
*Flash!*
1 hour later…
Mob 1- “Hear hear! There is an evil monster terrorising the people! We must vanquish him! We aren’t inside its stronghold yet!”
Mob 2- “Yeah! We must unite! With the power of friendship and magic, we can prevail!”
In front of me are 2 fully grown men in magical girl cosplay and eyecatching hairstyles waving around flashing plastic sticks with star decorations on them. Everyone watching this are questioning either their sanity or their eyes as they watch the absolute horror I have created. I wish I went back to the time where I didn’t see this…
You know what? Fuck this. It’s been an hour and there has been NO change in the line at all, I don’t want to be here any more.
[Universal Shapeshift]!
*Fwoom!*
My body expands and I transform into a 5 meter tall giant white wolf with black markings on my body and neck, and a black star pattern on my forehead. I look fucking badass. But that’s not all. My legs and paws are shrouded in a dark haze and the black markings share this hazy property too.
What da hell…
<<Report. Individual Rimuru’s wolf transformation has evolved into a Spatium Star Wolf. As a result, the Extra Skill [Shadow Motion] has been acquired.>>
Huh… Neat. Right, let’s do this.
