"Alright... Slime, you did really great," Leon said, kneeling beside the slime as he gently patted its squishy body.
*Pat-Pat*
*Boing-boing*
The slime bounced in response, almost joyfully, as if acknowledging his praise.
Leon narrowed his eyes. "...Wait a minute. Can you understand what I am saying ?"
*Boing-Boing*
The slime jumped twice again.
"Jump once if you understand what I'm saying right now," Leon tested, his eyebrows raising.
*Boing*
Leon stared at the slime, a mixture of surprise and curiosity in his gaze.
"So... you really can understand human language. What about the others ? The other slimes—can they understand me too? Jump once if yes."
*Boing*
"Unbelievable... Why didn't Elis tell me this before ?" Leon muttered, rubbing his chin.
"Okay, we'll talk more about this later. For now, stay here. You can rest or take a stroll in the forest, but don't come out. Understood?"
*Boing*
