Suddenly, I Became a Slime

Chapter 62: The Flying Whale

Chapter 62: The Flying Whale

“What the... Why did the ‘Sky Whale’ show up so soon?”

The masked woman muttered in a voice that seemed to be frowning.

Her eyes appeared to be looking at the screen in front of her.

The screen only showed the huge tail of the whale flapping as it disappeared into the clouds.

She, too, was slow to assess the situation due to the unexpected event.

But.

It didn’t really matter.

It’s not like she had any loyalty to her ‘former’ workplace.

Setting off an incident according to the timer...

Did they even say what would happen when the timer ended in the first place?

The timer itself was practically a ruse to fool all the branches and labs.

And it was a good thing for her that the Sky Whale was freely released and flying in the sky.

It would be even better if it went to a place with as many people as possible and made its presence known.

‘By the way.’

We need to hurry.

Originally, she had intended to start work earlier than the timer, so the preparations should be ready.

The ‘huge’ bait of the Sky Whale was thrown out on its own, but there will be no problem.

She doesn’t care about the bait. Her goal is to steal the anomaly called the 7496-KR “Girl Made of Slime.”

Since the Sky Whale was released earlier than expected, it seemed like she would have to move up the time to invade the lab where the target anomaly was located.

Originally, she had planned to carry out the work faster than the timer, but it was a little earlier than that, so it was slightly annoying. However, other than that, everything looked good.

In fact, even being released early... might be a good thing.

Isn’t a surprise attack the most effective in the first place?

As they say, to deceive the enemy, first deceive your allies.

Imagining what would happen from now on and giggling, she made a call somewhere.

“Move the plan forward.”

It seemed like she heard a sigh from the other side, but the woman didn’t say much as she was in a good mood and hung up.

Perhaps it was because she thought everything was going according to plan?

The woman’s mask quivered grotesquely with her distorted laughter.

Hmm.

How did Pinocchio escape from the shark’s belly? By the way, was it really a shark? Wasn’t it a whale? It seems impossible to move around in a shark’s belly... Wouldn’t it be a whale?

...It didn’t seem particularly important, so I decided to think about something else.

Anyway, whether it’s a shark or a whale, if it’s this big, it doesn’t matter.

Upon pondering, it seemed that it wasn’t Pinocchio who was eaten first, but old man Geppetto.

So I’m not Pinocchio but became old man Geppetto.

Then, is the solution to wait until Pinocchio comes to save me?

...I don’t think so.

If I ask, “Did you come to save me?” the answer would only be, “No, I was eaten too.”

Let’s put aside the minor point that I can’t even make a sound to ask in the first place.

Actually, I jumped in recklessly without thought because my insides were boiling, and it seemed to be aiming for me.

But I couldn’t think of any good ideas.

Meanwhile, the first method that came to mind was making a hole in the whale’s body and escaping.

However...

That was blocked from the start by several realistic problems.

First, the place where I’m standing now.

Judging by the hardness I feel, it seems to be part of the bridge that the whale swallowed just now.

It was floating in some kind of liquid...

*Sizzle....*

With a small sound, it was slowly melting away.

This tremendous digestive power.

I wasn’t particularly surprised.

I could melt that much if I put it in my body, too.

The problem will be after the concrete I’m stepping on disappears.

Maybe because it’s young, its mind seems unrestrained.

...It’s said that creativity is best when you’re young, right?

However, perhaps because it’s young, the speed at which the concrete moves forward isn’t very fast.

At times like this, an adult needs to step up.

I also stretched out my tentacles and pulled the concrete.

Then, the speed picked up quite a bit, and we were able to move to a somewhat larger concrete.

As I climbed up and stuck close, perhaps because it was a relatively high place, I could faintly see what was presumed to be the stomach wall in the distance.

I think it’s definitely the stomach wall.

In a space where everything slowly melts away, the only thing that would show movement would be its internal organs.

For now, let’s set the goal of getting there.

My eyes gradually adapt.

I planned the optimal route to reach the wriggling stomach wall.

First, go there with the concrete we rode on, then transfer to the next concrete and go...

Good.

I can go.

Although Sosik came up with the idea, in the end, it’s my role to come up with the detailed method.

As if its energy was drained from providing the idea or as if it was now telling me to figure it out, Sosik hung limply on my shoulders.

Daesik is still waving its arms on top of my head as if cheering.

...If there was popcorn, it would tear it open.

Sigh.

These little ones.

I told you, at times like this, an adult needs to step up.

I, who got back on the concrete we rode here, stretched out my tentacles towards the next concrete.

*Splash.*

It feels like riding a duck boat on a lake.

Ah, of course, I don’t have memories of riding one because there was no one to ride with, but wouldn’t it feel something like this?

It would be a similar experience if you released a school of piranhas into the lake.

*Splat!*

*Slurp!*

*Splash!*

With some squishy sounds, I proceeded through the lake of gastric juices with the two little ones.

When I saw it from the huge concrete, I thought it was close, but when I actually tried to go, it was extremely far.

It’s a case of an object being farther than you think.

But fortunately, I have a body that doesn’t get tired.

How long have I been going?

I saw something pink and wriggling in my sight.

...So, the internal organs can be this big.

As I looked at the wall made of wriggling flesh that was undoubtedly the internal organ of a living being,

Something strange appeared in my sight.

On the wall that was clearly the internal organ of a living being,

For some reason, there was metal attached all over it.

It was at a high place, so I almost missed it, but I can definitely see it.

...What’s that?

Was it not a sky whale, but,

A mecha whale?

It turned out to be an even more thrilling creature.

For a moment, I silently stuck to the stomach wall.

The soft, pulsating sensation was very... bizarre.

Anyway.

After sticking, I moved my body to check that strange place before more gastric juices seeped from the wall.

Perhaps... it could become a new escape route.

With the thought that it might not be so bad, I moved.
