Slime Seijo - Ch. 49 - The Goddess' Guidance

[Seetee]

Thank you for the translation!

Somehow I think the goddess made the previous Jelly a saint in preparation for our friend the slime. She probably knew it would go that way, but still tried to reason with the original Jelly.

As far as divine revelations go, that was pretty lackluster. "Something really bad's gonna happen at some point! Here's a brief geography lesson! Keep making friends! Everyone's counting on you to deal with... something! OK, bye!"

 

[Chuito]

The goddess knows all about the current Jelly, but didn't realize the old one was bad and wouldn't do shit?

Im thinking she did do shit. Imagine the lottery winning luck to come across a perfectly fresh undamaged body the NEXT DAY after learning she can posses it.

Methinks sus merchant lady also is friendly with the goddess.

She came to warn Jelly her life is in danger with the calamity and saved her life after her heart got stabbed. No way goddess couldnt save og jelly from poison. She just sat there and watched her die on purpose!

I get the feeling goddess choose her genuinely at first when she was a child or something. Then goddess saw how twisted she grew up as and decided to recycle her investment with a nice looking slime

Our fake slime saint is now a REAL slime saint. This might just be the best chapter ever.

The meat killed his parents

I know just the guy...

 

[CraniumAmbiguity]

Godess: There will be a great calamity!
No one: Ok, specifically what are we looking for? War? Earthquake? Monster Outbreak? Famine?
Godess: The future of this nation... is in you hands...In your hands...hands...

weird to see Ange with a 'goofy 'face even in chibi form (page 3)

'like becoming a real human' i mean, her being a slime-puppeteer is more convenient, strength wise

"As for the country of a man name Berger" sounds a bit clunky versus "as for the country Berger is from"? (or even replacing "A" with "the")

"she's a bit quirky" you mean a lesbian XD; idk if shes the lolicon leaning type i assume ange is technically a teen/slightly older but jelly did pat her head/treat her like a younger kid XD

The goddess knows all about the current Jelly, but didn't realize the old one was bad and wouldn't do shit?

i imagine they can't always get directly involved otherwise she would've not bothered granting blessings/saints but maybe it depends, otherwise she'd just take her power away (tho idk if it'd stop her from whipping/torturing ppl)

(or OG!jelly was fine before she hit puberty and went unhinged, they did find that diary? of her potentially talking to a darker entity?)

It's crazy how the original Jelly actually had a revelation before she got brutally murdered. I don't think the Goddess really needed to do anything to make that possible, either, that was all the chaos of the world's doing.

I like how peppy the goddess is.
She's a cute.

Just one?

 

[PraetorDragoon]

I loved Jelly's face when the godess was explaining the world. "What is all this?"

Thanks for the chapter.

I bet old jelly is gonna return later as a super villain because that bish is insane

 

[TheGrandMugwump]

The goddess showed up to say "Keep doing what you've been doing. " Jelly and the goddess are like two peas in a pod.

 

[salyder]

Okay, I know the previous Jelly was a monster but getting a one on one call from GOD about the end of the world and her straight up telling GOD "Nah, fuck that shit, this rules actually." is so incredible ballsy that I can't help but be impressed.

 

[Andigo]

That was amazing payoff. The Goddess truly came off like Jelly's big sis.

I was expecting the Dark Lord would end up friend shaped. The theory about OG Jelly as the Dark Lord is great yet the timing this chapter is too convenient with Goddess setting up a mystery and it immediately having the biggest question 'solved' by Leon. Dark Lord has got to be a lesser force, and as most monsters aren't evil... either we already met the Dark Lord in Berger and he'll be compassionate, or the Dark Lord can be negotiated with or replaced. It'd be a waste to use OG!Jelly in that human-monster unity plotline. The cheesier RPG style is to make Dark Jelly a part of the lategame eldritch Calamity, even if it drags out many friends finding out about the slime in the saint until then.

Knight Martina so far is okay for a character teased (likely planned) as long as we've known Leon. Her intro was brief so she's hopefully not stuck on this stale (admittedly high-impact) cringe. I'm guessing it'll throttle back. Martina is equally qt as Leon, has a nice ceremonial warrior design for someone odd, yuri (yay)... but damn is she redoing a creepy meme as intro. I'd be insulted if nebulous yuri (read: relatable sapphic-explained awkwardness) wasn't already an established Celestria gag.

... mostly I'm worried about what little we know of Martina vs Celestria and Ange, which is clever bait for two clashes, not a shipping thing given age gap (where Martina hopefully isn't ultra creepy)

• Celestria is probably going to be treated as a doll or auntie's favorite. And rage. I think she's barely younger than Ange, at most a couple years, she's simply short (and never won't be). It's more realistic than elementary school genius in platform heels. Her sapphic gag is probably reserved for Jelly, and Martina seems insensitive for now, but maybe there's something positive about putting the two yuri gag characters together.
• Ange is painfully vulnerable to ego boosts and slights so either way her rotund knight best keep her and Martina apart. This is an impending trainwreck for the vain girl. Good could spiral for the needy girl, and a bad outcome is her peers are fawned on but not her... truly fall-to-darkness tier upsetting.

(or OG!jelly was fine before she hit puberty and went unhinged, they did find that diary? of her potentially talking to a darker entity?)

While it would still be in-style for this story to show us the unhappy reasons OG!Jelly got this way, she's a torturer who effectively tried to end the world. An exception to the rule of relatability would be good before a final boss battle, but she's far gone. Whatever she is. That OG!Jelly face this chapter was the least human by far, hard to explain even with spiritual brain damage. So I think something, Jelly's mistake or an outside force, got a screwed up soul into the body. Goddess did give it a chance before what seems like indirect smiting and soul replacement. Tidy but not mandatory is the true OG dead girl's soul becoming a slime.

We may not find out much about the souls changes from the journals by the evil Jelly, even as they provide other clues. I could imagine that psycho was doing ritual magic to get in touch with the Calamity. And as there seems momentum to carry on, OG!Jelly should be at least a supporting antagonist if not shepherding the cataclysm.

 

[Yosumarainesu]

New guard is into yuri. It was only a matter of time, I suppose.

I don't think that's quite accurate, I think it's more that she likes to dote on anything cute (e.g. Methode from Frieren).

 

[JaniahSteelstride]

Literal yuri knight? Let's go!!

 

[Khyrin]

I love how the beast tamer guy is already considered as a part of the team even though he hasn't been officially recruited or befriended yet lmao.

I mean... Sacrificing himself by forcing Jelly to let go of him before his weight can drag her down is a pretty "Friend" move...
