Tanaka-ke, Tensei Suru - Vol. 1 Ch. 9

[MangaDex]

 

[Nekotofu]

I assume they using vinegar and lemon (citric acid) as a way to dissolve the slime.
But what I can see, slime body were kinda protected by gelatin like material that can retain acid liquid inside their body.
To defeat it, either using a very strong acid (like hydrochloric or sulfuric acid) or by injecting acid directly, forcing either slime digestive system to shut down or trigger the protein eating enzymes to began attack it's host body.

 

[Mandobard]

Honestly, the damage is more intense than I expected

Or you use something to disrupt the surface tension

 

[ShiitakeCat]

Or use a dessicant like salt.

But it doesn't seem disturbing the surface tension would work. It is mentioned in the previous chapter that cutting it would just divide it, creating 2 slime out of one.

 

[anzuda]

Or use a dessicant like salt.

That... might work actually... Creature that rely on protective film to keep them hydrated like slug or snail shown to be extremely weak to being covered by salt since it pulls all their moisture, leaving them severely dehydrated.

Are we saying slimes are basically slugs?

 

[NateVG]

Yep

DND kinda down play slimes, acid slimes in particular. Even though they are dangerous, but in irl mechanics, a lot more damage will be done.

In game attacking with melee will or will not do damage, and damage the weapon. But if back splash is considered it's an auto counter. Fire causes acid clouds ect.

Its liquid, and they are less single cell organisms but a single cell colony. Splitting them by slashing, breaking tension, ect just multiplies them.

The previous chapter established that the slimes are highly alkaline, they're trying to use acidic substances to offset that and balance them out into being effectively harmless water. That was Emma's idea for countering slimes anyway, it was never tested out yet though and we can see here it didn't quite work how she hoped.

i remember reading like 50 chapters of this, where did all of them go

Come to think of, duodenum in human body is highly alkaline to neutralize acid from the stomach and protect the mucosal lining.
But then if it had both alkaline and acid in one body, it'll just turn into harmless water...
Do you think instead of slug, slime is more like a transparent, circular, starfish instead?

I meant chemically disrupting the surface not physically. It’s like adding a congealing compound to a glass of water or a bond disruptor to gelatin

 

[AlmondMagnum]

D-Genesis uses modern cleaning products.

 

[DaoFox]

one part of us: oh no the prince came back??!?! aaah I hope she figures out the trick soon and gets treated before the damage gets worse!

also a part of us: this slime body seems to behave similar to that of a slug. how can we best take it down. hmmmm

 

[DaoFox]

there was/is another group working on the series but they aren't on mangadex.

also their chapter numbering is off. like just this chapter (#9) is up on their website as chapter 13 etc so I don't actually know what the correct number of chapters is. but if they can't even track the chapter count correctly, I am hesitant to trust the quality of their translations.

The damage in the WN is pretty intense. I was both looking forward to and dreading this part of the story because Emma gets hurt so badly.

Wouldn't sugar work? I seem to recall it can be a dessicant.

 

[anzuda]

As far as I know, while sugar is hygroscopic (absorb water), it cannot keep it's surrounding in a state of dryness like a desiccant. So while it would work, it's not very good at it.

 

[anzuda]

I meant chemically disrupting the surface not physically. It’s like adding a congealing compound to a glass of water or a bond disruptor to gelatin

I see the idea, either make it more liquid so it can't hold it's shape or solidify it so it can't move... But do they have the resource though? and would the slime willingly eat it.
