Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

The next morning, Alicia came to the river beach outside the village because she heard from Sergio that Malky often played with monsters there.

After breakfast, the children started their free time and everyone started to move. Alicia also joined in and moved on her own.

As Sergio said, Malky was playing with the slimes on the riverbank. From a distance, he could hear their cheerful laughter, and it was clear that there was no danger.

Alicia couldn't help but feel happy and ran over with a smile. Hearing the footsteps echoing on the rustling gravel road, Malki saw Alicia suddenly appear and showed a confused expression.

"Um...what's wrong?"

"I want to play with you!" Alicia gasped and said the words firmly involuntarily. And Malky was even more surprised by this.

Alicia also realized this and hurriedly tried to hide her smile: "S-Sorry. I really am...well, I just thought it would be fun to play with Malky..."

Alicia finished her words despite some stuttering, while Malky looked reluctant.

Alicia was confused as she was obviously not welcomed, and at this moment, a slime jumped towards her.

Seeing its jumping expression, it was Alicia's turn to feel confused. Should she welcome it with her hands or be on guard? Since this was her first close encounter with a non-hostile monster, Alicia couldn't make a decision.

"Meow!"

The slime cried out and leaped up to pounce on Alicia. Alicia naturally hugged it. Its body was trembling, as cold as jelly, but at the same time there was a feeling of warmth.

The blue body swayed slightly, and Alicia and Slime came together.

"Meow?"

The slime seemed to be asking what was going on, and Alicia could clearly sense that it had no hostility, but she was still hesitant due to her awareness of the monster.

Malky looked at Alicia quietly, then slowly looked around. Then he waved his hand, asking the nearby slimes to come closer.

"Hey, let me help you." Malky picked up the slime easily and stroked it gently. The slime seemed very comfortable.

Seeing this, Alicia lowered her head and carefully touched the head of the slime in her hand. It reacted slightly, but then became very well behaved. Every time Alicia gently stroked it, the slime would make a happy cry.

Alicia's expression changed from confusion to a smile. She was no longer afraid.

"Meow!"

A voice called out from behind Malky. Alicia turned her head and saw a wild green slime approaching.

A normal blue slime and a green slime that turned green due to magic. This is the first time Alicia has seen these two types of slimes together.

The green slime smiled and walked towards Malky. Malky accepted without hesitation, and a scene of slimes surrounding Malky appeared.

Seeing this scene, Alicia was still surprised: "Does this happen often?"

"Yeah." Malky replied casually while smiling at the slimes. He didn't seem to care about Alicia's surprise at all.

From Alicia's perspective, she felt completely ignored and a little lonely.

At this time, footsteps were heard from the other side of the forest. Alicia turned around and saw a young human woman walking towards them.

"Oh, are there other guests today?" The woman said, swinging her long, smooth chestnut hair. She was holding a large basket woven with flowers, and a wolf-like monster was following her.

Malky looked at the female and smiled widely.

"Mother!"

Malky, holding the slime, stood up and rushed to hug the woman. Alicia stared blankly, thinking that it was his mother.

Indeed, the two had the same hair color and similar faces. Most importantly, they both carried demons, which seemed to make their relationship clearer.

Alicia had been staring blankly, but finally seemed to remember something, stood up and ran towards them: "Ah, that... my name is Alicia! Nice to meet you!"

Alicia bowed deeply impulsively. She had always been taught by Ramander to greet her friends' families properly when she met them.

Although Malky wasn't technically qualified to be a friend, she wanted to be one so badly that she subconsciously felt she had to behave appropriately.

However, her greeting seemed rather stiff. The woman who heard this couldn't help but smile: "Hey, nice to meet you. I'm the child's mother, Salia. You are Mr. Ramander's daughter, right? You look very energetic."

"Ah... you know my father?" Alicia asked in surprise. Salia smiled and said, "Know him? We have met before. Although you may not remember..."

"what?"

I've seen it once before. Judging from Salia's tone, it didn't seem to be a lie. However, Alicia didn't have this memory. At least she couldn't remember it immediately, and she tried hard to recall it.

Seeing her like this, Salia gave a bitter smile.

"The situation was a bit complicated, I was a little tired, and my reaction to you was very cold. I'm really sorry." Salia said as he put the basket in his hand on the ground.

"Even though you told me that King Sforia was a very interesting and wonderful place, I replied, 'I don't really like crowded places. I'd rather live quietly in the forest with the monsters.' I'm really sorry for my immature reaction to an innocent child."

Listening to her words, Alicia's memory gradually recovered a little.

Yesterday, when she went to the forest with Russell and the others, she also remembered some things.

"...The lady who lives with monsters..."

"Have you remembered?"

"Hmm...sister at that time?"

“To be precise, I’m already an aunt. Look, I already have a child.”

Hearing this, Alicia stiffened slightly. This was the first time she met someone who called herself aunt so frankly.

She recalled a time when she accidentally called the mother of a peer "Auntie", and the mother gave her a cold smile. Although other mothers' reactions were not as exaggerated, they all showed similar behaviors.

Even her own mother had always been concerned about wrinkles and youth on her skin. Alicia had thought that all mothers were probably like this, but it seemed that her idea was proven wrong here.
