[On Hold] I'm a what?! (That Time I got reincarnated as a slime x Male Reader)

Chapter 19: Another Pit-stop

You had been practicing to fly but the feeling of the wind and getting use to your wings was like trying to learn to walk or ride a bike again, it was difficult especially without a teacher but you were certain you'd get the hang of it eventually. You started heading East again from the old town and used omnipresence occasionally to track the villagers locations until you saw them get to Tempest and be brought in, you also made sure to check if Silica handed Rimuru the note and once he hugged her happily- you knew he accepted.

You were certain the villagers were safe now and began to focus on travelling, you were out here to reach the eastern island nation Midas- the nation of the werewolf king and where Kaya was heading to. It was about another week before you exited the forest properly and was open to a large expanse of desert stretching along for miles and miles- there was apparently a small town you needed to visit along the coast which would lead you on a boat to the nation they apparently called the 'Kingdom of eternal night'. The desert was a breeze to travel, your feet barely sunk or slipped in the sand and the heat wasn't something you felt so the walk was like a summer hike or a walk through a paved nature reserve- there were some easy monsters to kill and devour aquiring you some new mediocre skills that you'd check later.

After about a day, you saw something in the distance- you were stood upon a large dune and looked down towards the crater where the sand seemed to fall inwards and sat in the very centre of this large mound circle was a rather large campsite settlement with approximately 200 people estimating from the tents; an arrow flew past your head, whoever did it was a sharp shot and seemed to have noticed you so you quickly turned into a human since it was more likely they are too, you began to head towards them with your hands up and soon a woman, tall with braided hair, jewellery and dark skin stood before you with her bow drawn and aimed directly at the centre of your forehead.

Itara: " I am Itara, I protect this camp so do tell me who you are and what that creature on the hill was because unless you have some sort of skill to transform- I'll kill you "

You: " Listen Right I mean no harm I'm onl- "

Itara: " Listen, golo, I did not ask for your reason, I asked who you were! Introduce yourself and I'll not release my arrow into your forehead "

You: " (Y/N) Nava Tempest, I'm a traveller and the monster on the hill was me- it was a transformation type skill I learnt from the beast kingdom "

Itara: " Good, thank you for cooperating- we've been attacked by the Night Kingdom's scouts recently, we intended to flee from their control but it seems they've been following us and keeping us from leaving this hole "

You: " Oh damn, really you guys really are in need of help huh? Do you have any wounded? "

Itara: " A few? Are you a doctor? "

You: " Yeah I am, quick question- does everyone in your country have... darker skin? "

You felt awkward asking, it wasn't a bad question and it was just curiosity since you noticed her and Kaya both did- Japan had a wierd culture about foreigners and it was often a touchy subject especially with the generation above yours so it always felt wierd asking people about their countries.
