City Life (Or Lack Thereof)

The bustling trade city—not the capital, but lively enough—was packed with stalls and shops.

"Grilled chicken! Get yer grilled chicken here!"

"Hey, kid. No free samples. And stop blocking my stall!"

"Uh… two slime carcasses for one chicken leg?"

"No! And keep those monster guts away from my food!"

"Eek!"

I got shooed away instantly after pulling slime remains from my starter inventory pouch.

Zen = 0

Damn it! Slime junk's worthless?! I thought I could barter my way through this… My bad.

HP -4… HP +2

Melt's worried about me, huh? And the other goddesses are laughing? Can't you stop spectating my Day 1 struggles?!

"We don't take untrained kids under 12, brat!"

"Really?!"

"Really. Scram!"

"Listen, squirt—you want us jailed for child endangerment? Get lost!"

HP +2… HP -4

The busty receptionist and the guild's ruggedly handsome leader shot me down mercilessly.

I played too many games… Forgot age matters here!

Even the guild's "pity slime compost purchase" only gave 1z per pile. 2z total won't buy squat—that grilled chicken cost 10z!

"Grrr… I'm starving."

And with the goddesses watching, I can't even cheat! Guess I'll farm 8 more slimes outside town…

Slime Grinding (Again)

Stab! Splat! *(-22 HP)*

Stab! Splat!

HP -4… HP +2

Geng: 58/110 (True: 108/160)

"Whew… Slimes hit hard! A few more misses, and I'm dead!"

I collapsed on the grass, exhausted. 3 more slimes = 3z. Brutal.

Finding slimes near town took 2 hours—only 3 spawns?! Venturing deeper risks stronger monsters… and exposing my cheats.

"Helpful" Big Sister?

"Need help, little one?"

"Huh?"

A stunning woman—short hair, revealing robes (definitely not a priestess)—appeared beside me. Whoa… generous proportions.

"Saw you at the guild. No luck, huh? Want some easy money? I'll help~"

"Really?! You'll help me?!"

My eyes sparkled as I jumped up.

"So polite! Calling yourself 'I' and using 'sir/ma'am'~ Adorable! Come on!"

"Yes!"

She took my hand, and I followed gleefully. This is it! My isekai anime moment! A beautiful senpai guiding me!

Plot Twist: Human Trafficking

"40% of the price."

"I brought her! 70%!"

"40%'s fair! This is risky!"

"She's unregistered! No records! Purebred country bumpkin! Look—flawless too!"

"Fine, 60%!"

"Deal! Hey kid, I'll buy you snacks later… unless someone buys you first~"

"THIS ISN'T FUN ANYMORE!!!"
