Slime Seijo - Ch. 42 - The Ability to Become Friends

[AnotherDuck]

I think this is one of the best parts about her. She really is considerate of others.

She's a bit self serving, but not at the expense of others, and instead she tries to include others.

Secret's out. To the one person who would most likely accept her and keep it.

 

[S0LUS]

Hmm, she was strong enough to throw a dragon in the previous chapter, and now she can't lift a human. The author sure is taking some liberties here.

If Berger knows slimes can control corpses, then I am also surprised that slimes being able to control corpses isn't common knowledge. You'd think people would be afraid of slimes wearing a person's corpse to infiltrate society. Or shadowy groups with monster tamers using slimes to replace people in positions of power.

there's something to be said about using a pinky-width bit of uncontained slime to hold onto someone from a position of poor leverage being less mechanically efficient than using said slime in a pressurized environment (saintess-magic reinforced human body) to drive her arms and legs like hydraulic pistons, i guess. she's laying on the ground with her arm dangling over a cliff, with no good way to move her body in order to use the strength of anything but said arm, and said arm is currently half-empty because she shot a chunk of her, uh... self... out of it in order to reach him in time from that distance. and while said bit of self is prehensile, i imagine it's kinda like trying to lift weights using your tongue (just pretend that cherry-stem-tying ability equates to grip strength or something idk)- even if you can manage a bit of it, shit's still slippery and probably hurts. (though not as painful as having your blood vessels ripped out and used as ropes for someone to cling to - i believe i found & used the better comparison for the situation, but that's the first thing that popped in mind so i'm sharing lol, enjoy)

him being unsurprised about a slime taking over a human really is a big deal, though, i completely agree with that entire sentiment. i can only imagine it'll either be glossed over with his death or be handwaved ASAP as him having had some sort of divine revelation at some point which introduced the idea to him & told him only "certain extremely rare & special slimes" can do it or w/e & it's virtually unheard of as a result

also i think all this fretting over her being controlled is gonna end up as nothing, either he tries it (commands her to drop him or w/e) and fails bc of saintess-flesh serving as magical EMP hardening, or he's just too infatuated already to even dream of it in the first place

Odd thought I just had but does jelly have periods now that she is human or do they not happen anymore cuz slime?

Wait that's kinda interesting if Necromancers in this world are just Slime monster tamers.

 

[Yuna4Yuu]

She may be a slime but she is the slime saintess! And might be the best saintess out there.

[Thynkus]

was that detective Berger taking the case just now? quite the sherlock holmes himself joining the dots on less than 10 seconds, with a pierced chest while hanging from a cliff.

 

[Adelle]

Seeing Burger holding a slime back when he was a kid, I think he researched about slimes so much he wants to be friends with them. And now, he get to see a Slime(Human) who he can communicate! Now he probably can be either one, bodyguard of Jelly (Slime) or her Adviser

 

[Rizkid1412]

Literally a cliffhanger

 

[power_serge]

So that flashback implies his first monster friend was a slime. Watch that slime be the slime elder. Would be neat

 

[lordb1]

or it'll work, but he will survive the fall.

Nah he's about to be her latest servant and for that to happen she has to be immune. I garentee it.

 

[MagnaDrake]

You could say, Jelly's fear of getting controlled next chapter would be... a nothingberger...
Heh...

 

[phil777]

She is here and We are all saved.

When it's actually:

Inside.

 

[Mopro]

most intelligent character in the series

He was probably quick on the uptake because we see him with a slime as a child in his flashback. It could be possible that his slime was a character we’ve met.

if she thinks she can do it, she can do it. if she thinks its too much, its too much. I think its more of a lack of braincells, the only two are always busy either with either sweets or trying to not get caught

Odd thought I just had but does jelly have periods now that she is human or do they not happen anymore cuz slime?

Assuming a normal healthy female body then she should continue having her period. Though it might not happen the same way. You know, instead of leaking blood she'll leak... herself(?).
Probably doesnt even need pads since she can just reabsorb herself or something lol

Remember the way its been explained; she is replacing the blood and serving its purpose while piloting the body. She kinda fused and become one so automatic processes should all continue. After all, she didnt really know about breathing and all that stuff slimes dont do

I think its more of a case of Berger being privy to knowledge most people dont have access to and then connecting the dots.

He knows of Jelly's transformation and new personality, poison immunity(slime trait), incredible resilience and strength. He then sees a slime wrapped around his arm and leading into the wound on her own arm. No obvious bleeding from such a deep cut... oh the slime must be inside the body

 

[EchoGirl]

I guess it makes sense a monster tamer would know that slimes can do that ig?? I mean im sure Berger will agree anywqys in the end it wqs probaly for the better anywqys lol

i wonder how many slimes know about it other than ymir/if she was told by someone too or somehow figured it out herself

would've been a funny AU oneshot if after jelly went back to the mansion the first time, everyone got replaced with slimes

but neat that her power got 'strong' enough to do more than just 'two splits' like when will tried to kill her

Odd thought I just had but does jelly have periods now that she is human or do they not happen anymore cuz slime?

Considering she 'digested' those poisonous cookie and briefly swelled up we don't even know if she even needs to use the bathroom at all despite all she eats, surprised we haven't had a semi fanservicey scene of her enjoying a tub at least

wasn't there a couple slime series where some were in charge of cleaning sewage?

 

[LTalon]

I actually think it's less her slime body isn't that strong and more not that much time has passed since she grabbed Berger, so she hasn't had time to actually reel him back up yet.

 

[Khyrin]

Its not Lady Jelly, its a saint that took over Lady Jelly's body.

I really like the idea that the original Lady Jelly only gained sainthood because The Goddess knew that one day the Slime that would become Lady Jelly would take over the body, and thus gain the powers of a Saint.
