A Blade Made of Slime

Chapter 12: The Goblin Stampede

<Notice. It is time to awaken.>

...I was right... Great Sage works perfectly as an alarm clock...

I began to stretch and bend a bit. Staying in a human body was definitely complicated. I was so used to just swapping back and forth that I forgot it was a pain with many of my bodily functions. Part of me regretted having Great Sage make the perfect human body experience all that time ago.

Making my way out the room, I soon opened the door to Fran's to see her curled up with my blade body in her hand. Like I thought, she was still using it as a teddy bear despite it literally being metal. Something told me that this behavior wouldn't change even if she grew up...

It was truly adorable...

I didn't want to wake her up but she had something she was looking forward to today.

"Fran."

"Nn..."

"Wakey wakey."

"Nn.... ! The Goblins!"

"Hehe, yup, the goblins."

Fran was excited and so we began her preparations. I cleaned up her hair and switched her outfits. I still had her armor in my Stomach so I placed that on her as well to get her ready for the coming day.

I began to explain to Fran the checklist for the day's activities.

"Now first things first, we should head over to Garrus to see if he's made your new set of armor. If he did, then we can immediately use that for the Goblin Subjugation."

"Nn."

"Next up, we go to the guild since they'll be preparing the adventurers there. Finally, we'll be heading into the dungeon with the others. Got it?"

"Nn."

"Now remember, don't abandon your teammates. Even if you want to go solo."

"Nn."

I had to make sure Fran remembered that fact. I've gone solo quite a bit of times before and I could say for certain that those times did not exactly fan out great for me or the people I left behind.

"Alright Fran, let's make our way over to Garrus."

"Yeah!"

We made our way out of the inn and off towards Garrus's place. On the way, we could see a load of commotion from different people across the street as they were all congregating to the adventurer's guild. Like I thought, they were already getting into the full swing of things and soon enough the guild would be jam-packed.

"We should hurry."

"Nn."

We hurried over to Garrus's place and knocked on the door.

"I'm busy."

"Garrus, it's us."

"Ah! I recognize that voice! Come in!"

Garrus promptly let us inside where we could see that he was crafting quite a load of weapons.

Fran was looking around at the different weapons that had been crafted. Many of the weapons seemed rather rushed in terms of their production since they didn't have any sort of Mana Conductivity and seemed quite normal. Not to mention but there was more variety than there was quality here.

"Quite the arsenal."

"Yeah, the guild put this request in only a day ago. I have yet to deliver the goods yet. I assume ya' ain't here fer' just a normal visit."
