Slimes.
Slime-like way of eating.
Unknown slimes in formation.
Slimes.
[Slimes:
Despite being nearly immune to physical attacks, they are usually slow with limited means of attacking. Furthermore, they are instantly defeated should they receive even a little damage to the core. Because of this, slimes are considered to be weak overall and they are often only seen in beginner dungeons. It is recommended that you move on to better monsters should the opportunity arise.]
The information all lines up. I, the beginner dungeon, have something like pseudo-slimes with a shot at getting some real slimes as well.
Hmmm, though it still isn’t clear if my first creatures are a sort of slime or not though.
I think I understand. Those second creatures were listed as slimes because that sort of mini-sphere visible within them was a so-called “core”, whereas it is… not so? Perhaps? In the first creatures.
Let’s see….
Many tails of power: kitsune.
No…. “adorable ears”: not a kitsune.
Semi-solid body capable of absorbing objects: slime.
Squiggly, tangled mass in center—not a sphere, not solid-looking, not a core: not a slime.
Final conclusion: it’s some sort of halfway creature.
Thus! They must be kitsune pseudo-slimes!
With that, there was suddenly a massive burst of light.

...What.
What is this?
I wait a little, but nothing else happened.
Hm.
Must be the Dungeon Network trying to distract me and waste my time.
Stupid Network!
I’m on to you!!
Hah, honestly.
I would probably still be clueless without the Network, but why is it… like this…
...
Let’s just focus on more important things, like capturing our slimes.
They had previously gathered around the kitsune pseudo-slimes, so…
Yep. All the kitsune pseudo-slimes have long since vanished under the rocks. It was silly to doubt like that.
The kitsune pseudo-slimes is… WAY TOO LONG TO SAY!!
Ahhh!
...No. No wait, I need to focus.
The, uh, the kit… ki? ...p... s… The kips. Kipses? Argh! Anyway! The kipsies hate being on the surface, but I need to properly see them for this.
Thus, I give my second-ever command: well, it’s the same as the first one!
And all kipsies slowly emerge from the rocks.
These cowards.
Live in the… the… the real world a little! It’s not like the surface leaves you too exposed… I think. Actually, I have yet to see anything worth hiding from, so there. Let me observe you guys for a while.
At first, they don’t do anything, but after a little bit they start recreating the previous scene.
I thought I would just have to wait and then the slimes would appear like last time, but what actually happened instead was a brawl.
No joke, at least ten of the kipsies were spontaneously involved in a free-for-all struggle. Tails were flying everywhere. Some were whipped, some were entangled, and some were pounced on. All I could see was violence on all sides.
This is… not good. Somehow, I don’t like this at all! I need to increase my number of creatures, not kill them off!
I need to stop this, but how? I look around, and the majority of kipsies are still continuing as normal.
Wait!!!
Isn’t this one being surrounded by slimes?!
Ahh, I lost a connection! One of the kipsies died?! It looks like it was entangled by one kips and pounced on by another, who is now halfway through consuming it. The other kips is now-
-I don’t have time for this!
And the slimes are already gone!!
What do I do?!
Will….
Will you guys just STOP!!!
I don’t need this kind of fighting!!
...
...Oh.
Oh, right.
I can give commands.
...Haha.
