I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Tentacle Slime~ I Want to Live a Comfortable, Secure Life and Do Whatever I Want~ - Chapter 27

After putting Rio to bed, I checked my abilities through the window and discovered substantial changes in my [Species] and [Traits].

“Oh, this is amazing… I ended up ensuring my safety without even meaning to.”

“Father, has something good happened?”

Just as I finished, the four baby slimes returned, as if they had been waiting for the right moment.

“Ah, it seems that after absorbing the core I created with Rio, I have evolved. My race is now [M Multi-Core Tentacle Slime], and the trait [T Triple-Core] has appeared.’

I provided an explanation of the [T-Core].

T-Core: A creature with three cores. It can continue to live even if two cores are lost.

Simply put, it’s like gaining two extra lives. Though, thinking of my own life as extra lives feels kind of strange…

“Congratulations, Father. If the progenitor, Father, becomes stronger, our entire clan can prosper.”

The four slimes congratulated me with kind words.

“If you all absorb the cores created with Rio, you’ll be able to have multiple cores. After the next child is born, it will be your turn. Look forward to it.”

I explained to the slimes what would happen next and that the next children would have two cores.

“Oh! Thank you! To think that we will also be able to have multiple cores!”

“We will work hard to be of help to Father.”

“Our younger siblings will also be able to live safely.”

“We can’t slack off now. We can’t show our younger siblings a pitiful sight.”

It seemed that the slimes were getting more excited, as their conversation grew more animated. Their safety was improving, and new siblings were on the way, so it made sense they were excited.

“Sorry to interrupt your excitement, but I also want to talk about the future. Is that alright?”

I explained that I would be taking the baby slimes with me to tackle the Monster Houses in the dungeon’s uncharted floor, and then go to Rio’s hometown to gather information about the bandits.

“Oh, one last thing, can you guys use fire magic?”

Having never seen fire magic before, I had no idea how to use it. I thought maybe the slimes could use it instead.

“Yes, we can use it.”

The slimes generated small fireballs and launched them toward the wall. It was similar to the water magic’s water bullets.

“I see, maybe fire magic works in a similar way to water magic.”

I followed the slimes’ example with their fireballs and launched them. Then I attempted to apply fire attributes to a fire wall and spear, which was a success.

“It seems that attribute magic can generally do similar things.”

The slimes had also learned water magic: water bullets, water walls, and water attributes. They were quick to adapt, which makes them a great asset.

“Well then, as mentioned earlier, starting tomorrow, you’ll join me in defeating the Monster houses.”

“”””Yes!””””

Their energetic reply made me look forward to tomorrow.

This time’s results:

・You have as many lives as the number of cores. The more cores you have, the slightly stronger you become.

・ It looks like once you’ve learned an attribute magic, you can apply it to other attributes too.
