Evolution of Slime to Peak

"Yes, may I know, who are you?"

Standing on the desk and pretending to be a gentleman, Ren said it forgetting about the previous thing.

"I am the forest spirit... I am ordered by the forest king, to escort you."

"Wut? Escort, wut?"

"What is wut?" The forest spirit titled her head, and stare at Ren.

"Uh... I mean, what?" Her gaze was strong, it even made Ren uncomfortable.

"Oh, from the current event, it seems you are causing chaos in the forest."

"Chaos and me...You must be joking. I am your ordinary good slime."

"..."

The forest spirit blinked her eyes and spoke. "The war was caused by you. And you didn't even settle it peacefully. The war could have won with few casualties. The dog elder wouldn't have died. And at least 40% population of the three clans are dead."

Hearing the report from her mouth, Ren couldn't help but sigh. Showing a troubled smile, he couldn't retort.

"So, I will be handling your foreign affair."

"So, you suddenly barged here to get employed...."

Ren blinked his eyes. He was shocked and dumbfounded. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he didn't try to reason with the girl and just let out a breath.

"Ok."

"Pleasure to work with you."

The forest spirit stretched her hand.

"Uhh, same to you."

Ren didn't know what to do.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot you didn't have hands."

Is she mocking me?! She is insulting me!

Ren roared inwardly.

He couldn't just fight her, right...

He may have fought with her, but her aura is ten times more powerful than his. She could wipe this village including him with one swipe.

So, better not to mess up.

"By the way, don't you have any name?"

"Sorry, but I haven't given any name."

"Then can I give you one?"

"It's ok."

After getting approval from the spirit, Ren thought deeply.

"Mori. From now, you will be Mori."

He said. He was a little surprised when he felt his energy being in a normal state.

So, it didn't work. Figures.

He sighed.

The spirit is stronger than him and doesn't respect him, so even if he names her, he can't command her. Well, he may order her some time. She seems kind of innocent.

"So, what will you do?" Ren asked.

"I will handle war letters, foreign people, and other things that are related to foreign affairs."

"Ok then."

Ren didn't pester her too much and left the forest. He had some work in the human town.

"So, will you come with me to the village town?"

"Ok."

The spirit nodded.

Bidding farewell to others, Ren and Mori reached the human town in less than a minute.

For Ren, he just slid but Mori just disappeared and appeared near the town. It made Ren a little shocked.

Inside the gate where the soldiers guarded the gate, their eyes widen when they saw a human like looking girl and a slime marching toward them.

At first, they didn't understand what to do. But as those two came near, they readied their weapon and called for other soldiers.

"Hello, my dear soldiers!"

Ren shouted.

"W-What?!"

"A speaking slime?"

They stare at Ren with disbelief in their eyes. Never they have heard about a slime who can speak, and speak the human language too.

"I am your friendly neighborhood slime. So, can you please lower your weapon?"

"May I know, why you are here?" One of the soldiers who had a better weapon than the rest of the soldiers spoke. He seemed to be their commander, as other soldiers followed.

"I want to talk business, so can I meet your town chief."

He requested.

The soldier looked at the slime helplessly.

"Hey, Mori, tell them you are forest spirit."

"Why?"

"Because it will make us more friendly."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

As Ren persuaded her, Mori stepped forward.

"My name is Mori, I am a forest spirit."

"What?!"

Everyone's eyes widen except for Ren when they heard about her. They didn't know whether to laugh or not.

Seeing their surprised face, Mori raised her hand.

The branches of the tree that was near her came down. The branches just came near to her face and she touched them.

She again swiped her hand, and the branch moved to its original place.

...

This thing made everyone present speechless. The solider ran and called the village chief.

In less than a minute, the chief rushed there and saw the spirit with his own eyes.

Ren from the sideline smiled and made a plan in his head. He needs to get ready for the future.
