I'm thinking the splits become Jelly clones or the clone of something else like a sword eventually since it's a power more powerful slimes tend to have.
Slimes cannot do that, and once possessing a target, can never return to slime form.
They will probably find a way to shoehorn it in, like her clone/split becoming an extra Jelly or pretending to be someone else when needed.
It's a bit like "two-party consent" states for audio recording. It's interesting that the slaver needs permission from the future slave and the master to perform the contract, according to the standards of his profession. I don't think I've ever seen that.
I think they already do that. It's hard for a beginner to win at shogi against someone who's played several times before. Also in Reversi and other strategy games.
And in NGNL fashion we see here elves are not above cheating to win.
Being able to read minds wouldn't help you win against an...
His skill revives clothes, so maybe this would work instead of a tailor:
1) strip
2) brutally (and hopefully painlessly) murdered by your own comrades while thinking of desired outfit
3) revive/profit
Might not work for Rosé, it think her team might not be able to kill her.
pgs. 31-32 feel cheap because Dion is a longtime combat medic; there is no reason he would need to "learn recovery magic." Also it doesn't seem like would need Kale's help to heal them.
I feel like he picked her out because of injury/curse. Protagonist-kun overlooked adventurers and other beast girl slaves first before settling on her - just because she's injured and cheap. Fantasy slave traders are awful businessmen. Wouldn't you pay to have your slaves healed so they'll sell...
That's a little ridiculous but in Hearthstone when they combine two 1 mana cards into a new one it often costs 3 because it's more power and you need less card draw or get more from each draw (but as a drawback it's slower than the original cards separately). For a different example the military...
Their reason for sticking around is, "Master isn't mean to us." They both fully understand that he isn't too bright even though they don't yet know he's illiterate. I feel like it's straining disbelief a little. They clearly need each other (without the elf no food, and without the dwarf, no...

@Aoitenshi It's beautifully translated, thank you.
Then on to the this side story written by Atekichi for volume 1: these side stories are often bad! It's not the case here though. It ties in super well with what we've just read! I think the personalities of Celesti/Melody (total lack of common...
I think it's similar to speedrunning. In speedrunning I think there are what's called "blind segments" where you can't see anything (or can't see much) and that is probably what's going on. Because getting a light and then using it wastes too much time (see Dragon Quest speedruns that don't use...
Also I don't get how it eliminates love for their daughters, but I don't know how relationships work IRL, so there's that. Does a second wife (sometimes) do something to fathers that makes them not love their children anymore? I heard that second wives sometimes have trouble loving children that...
Arsonist-san is unconscious so maybe there's a way but that's not where the author wanted to go with the story.
Unrelated: Elf-san can defend herself or assist her master but she just stands there through the whole thing.
