—Haa, how boring.
A woman with soft, light-pink skin was sitting in a cave, resting her head on her hand.
She resembled a human in appearance, but no one would ever mistake her for one.
She had merely imitated the form; her entire body was covered in a light pink hue.
And around the woman, there were several slimes.
But the slimes simply wobbled in place, not moving to find food.
The reason was simple—because the woman had commanded them not to move.
This woman was none other than the highest-ranking being among slimes, The Slime Queen.
Her streaming nickname was “Squishy Queen.”
A translucent chat window appeared in Squishy Queen’s field of vision.
▶ Show us that thing, that thing! The slime tower stacking!
▶ How many layers are you going for today?
▶ Ooh, Your Majesty, show us your squishy body!
▶ [User “Profound Seeker” has been banned.]
▶ You gotta know when to stop lololol
▶ None of the slime fans are normal anyway smh
▶ [User “Anonymous321” has been banned.]
The Slime Queen gave an order to the slimes waiting around her.
—Stack.
With that command and a light wave of her hand, the slimes all began to move.
Each slime jumped on top of the one beside it.
▶ Oh! An 8-layer tower in a row!
▶ Whoa, it’s art every time, pure art.
▶ That’s what I’m talking about~
— Art, huh. What kind of Slime Queen can’t even control slimes properly?
To the viewers, the scene of slimes performing tricks at her command—despite their only method of attack being body slams—was always fascinating and rare, no matter how often they saw it.
But to the Slime Queen, even their surprised reactions felt boring.
It’s incredibly difficult for slimes to gain intelligence.
So from the moment the Slime Queen gained the intelligence to broadcast, there wasn’t a single kin around her she could talk to.
All she had were tiny slimes who listened to her as the highest-ranking entity.
Even if they were of the same kind, they didn’t communicate with her—only followed orders—so her boredom could never be relieved.
The Slime Queen, who could wipe out an entire kingdom in a single day if she set her mind to it.
But unless someone attacked her first, she had no taste for senseless massacres or chaos.
And so, the Slime Queen began streaming.
At first, it was interesting and a good way to kill time.
Starting with small talk, she moved on to daily stories, complaints, quarrels with nasty trolls, and mastering how to quickly ban them.
Eventually, her stream evolved into one where she gave commands to slimes and had them perform tricks.
But now, even streaming itself had started to become boring.
It was because she had become too used to the streaming life.
She was only continuing vaguely because there were still people reacting, but without new stimulation, she could easily just go radio silent at any moment.
It was at that moment.
▶ [Free Spirit has donated 100 coins]
[Free Spirit] ▶ Squishy Queen, can I ask a question?
A viewer had appeared, donating while asking a question.
'Hm?'
– It’s that pesky one again.
The pesky one.
The nickname Free Spirit belonged to someone who hopped from stream to stream, playfully chatting as a hobby.
Though annoying, he never crossed the line into being unpleasant, so most rooms tolerated him instead of banning him.
‘He probably came to ask some silly question again.’
Deciding to deal with him just enough and then ignore him, the Slime Queen spoke.
– What is it you’re curious about?
[Free Spirit] ▶ Do slimes have eyes?
– What?
The Slime Queen tilted her head at the absurd question.
– What kind of question is that? Do they have eyes?
[Free Spirit] ▶ I mean, can they see things directly? They don’t have eyes, right? But can they still see?
– Of course they can. Is that even a question? Can’t you see this tower?
The Slime Queen pointed at the slimes stacked in a tower by her command.
– Even if I gave the order, how could they do this if they couldn’t see?
[Free Spirit] ▶ ???? Then are there slimes that can’t see?
– Slimes that can’t see? There are none. And even if there were, it would only be newborn slimes.
[Free Spirit] ▶ Ohh, so baby slimes really can’t see, huh?
‘What does he mean by baby slimes now?’
– If it’s a newborn slime, then yes. Why are you asking something like that? No, never mind. You probably asked just to mess around anyway. Haa.
Back in the day, even questions like this felt fresh, but now it was just tiresome.
The Slime Queen decided to ignore the pesky one and end the stream.
– That’s it for today’s broadcast. I’ll open it again if I feel like it.
Already over?
▶ One more time! One more time!
▶ Isn’t this streamer neglecting their job?
▶Squishy Queen, can you show the perspective of a slime getting stepped on, looking up from a third-person view?
▶ [“Aspiring Slave Gentleman” has been banned.]
▶ Gross pervert, get out lololol
[Free Spirit] ▶ Ah, wait wait wait! Just a second, Squishy Queen! I really have some interesting news!
— Interesting news?
Afraid the Slime Queen might lose interest and end the stream, the pesky one quickly typed the next message.
[Free Spirit] ▶ A baby slime is streaming right now!!!
– What did you say?
Seeing the Slime Queen react, the pesky one seized the moment and typed quickly.
[Free Spirit] ▶ A slime that can’t even read the chat is streaming in third person!! OMG
[Free Spirit] ▶ That’s why I asked you about it!
▶ A slime is streaming?
▶ Sounds like BS lol
▶Yeah, he spouts nonsense sometimes lol
The viewers of the Slime Queen’s stream were skeptical of what the pesky one said.
After all, if you interpreted it literally, he was saying that a just-born monster had enough intelligence to host a stream.
‘That’s ridiculous. But what if… it’s true?’
If what the pesky one said was real…
‘Does that mean… a fellow slime I can actually talk to has finally appeared?’
The Slime Queen immediately asked.
– Where is that stream room?
[Free Spirit] ▶ If you go to the full list, there’s one called “I Want to See.”
After checking the chat, the Slime Queen opened the list of streams and entered the slime’s broadcast room.
***
Unaware that it was drawing attention from various monsters, the slime kept repeating the same actions.
‘It’s so dark.’
The slime, having gained some knowledge through the system, wanted to escape from the darkness it was experiencing.
And it instinctively felt that the way to escape was by eating more.
Eat, eat, eat—when nothing more could be consumed, it rested, then ate again.
For a newborn slime, that was the best way to grow.
Fortunately, the cave where the slime was born had plenty of moss to feed on.
How many hours had it been doing that?
‘Of…?’
The slime felt a change in its body.
A trembling thrill surged through it, and as its whole body quivered, the pitch-black darkness slowly began to clear.
The dim scenery of the cave, where droplets of water dripped, came into the slime’s view.
But for a slime that had only known complete darkness, even a dim cave was a place filled with light.
‘Wooooow…’
The slime, seeing the world with its own eyes for the first time, was deeply moved.
Its body trembled violently, as if something inside was pounding wildly.
[Noblesse Fire] ▶ Why is it suddenly shaking?
[Gothic Luxury Bone] ▶ Hoho, even its trembling looks adorable.
▶ Ugh
▶ What lovely curves, oh yes
▶ Ugh, slime pervs are disgusting
▶ Huff huff huff! Slime-chan! lololol
[Squishy Queen] ▶ That… that’s the slime?
As the slime was overcome with emotion, a translucent chat window appeared in its view.
Next to it was a third-person screen showing the slime’s own form.
‘What is this?’
The system answered the slime’s question.
[This is the chat window of the stream you are currently broadcasting. Next to it is your appearance shown from a third-person perspective.]
‘Chat window, my appearance…’
Thanks to the knowledge that had been implanted, the slime understood what the system meant.
The messages flowing in the chat were interesting, but what fascinated the slime even more was its own appearance.
A round, light green, squishy slime.
Realizing that this was its own form, the slime felt a completely different level of emotion from when it first saw the world.
‘My body…!’
It couldn’t contain the emotion.
Just trembling wasn’t enough.
The slime moved with its feelings.
Boing.
It bounced on the spot.
[Skill acquired: Jumping.]
The slime had obtained its very first skill since birth.
After bouncing freely several times, the slime turned its gaze to the chat window.
Messages were flying up quickly.
But more than the messages themselves, the slime focused on the input field where it could type its own words.
Rather than seeing what others were saying, it had a stronger desire to express the feelings it was experiencing right now.
[Injecting necessary knowledge into the target entity.]
In addition to the concept of streaming, the system implanted the knowledge of how to use the chat.
With this knowledge, the slime immediately typed out its feelings.
▷ I can see! I can see!
As soon as the slime used the chat, it drew attention from the viewers.
[Free Spirit] ▶ What the—??? It’s chatting now?
[Gothic Luxury Bone] ▶ Good day, Bouncy One. A pleasure to finally meet you like this.
[Noblesse Fire] ▶ Why did you bounce earlier?
[Thread Lady] ▶ Kyaa! Even the way it jumps is so cute~!
▷ I can see! I can see!
▶ Why is the streamer just repeating the same line…;;
The slime still didn’t read anyone else’s words, just continued to write exactly what it felt.
The chat messages continued to scroll quickly.
Several viewers were asking the slime questions, but it kept typing only that it could see.
Some viewers silently observed the chat, trying to analyze the situation.
The so-called pesky one—Free Spirit—analyzed the slime’s behavior.
‘If this really is a just-born baby slime…Could it be that it’s overwhelmed with emotion from seeing the world for the first time? The sudden trembling and jumping in place—it would all make sense if it was emotional.’
Then the stream title, “I Want to See,” and the repeated phrase “I can see” in the chat…
If you think about it for even a moment, it’s all very simple and easy to understand.
‘It’s so happy that it’s not even noticing other people’s messages… OCH…If not the chat, then maybe I can catch its attention another way.’
[Free Spirit has donated 2 coins.]
[Message: What is it that you can see?]
Free Spirit used the public message function that unlocks with a donation.
Messages sent via donation, even if the recipient has no hearing yet, are conveyed directly to their spirit.
The slime, too lost in expressing its feelings, finally realized—someone had responded to its emotion.
Just as the desire to share more of what it was feeling grew stronger, the system, detecting the slime’s strong will, made a suggestion.
[Would you like to switch the broadcast perspective to first-person mode?]
‘Yes!’
The third-person broadcast shifted to the slime’s own viewpoint.
The moment the perspective changed, the slime quickly typed:
▷ I can see! I can see this!
▷ It was dark!
▷ I wanted to see!
▷ Now I can see!
Bouncing in place, the first-person view shook wildly.
Short messages filled the chat window.
And just from that, viewers who had been watching the slime all this time understood.
This slime really had just been born.
It had just now gained the ability to see the world.
The pure joy shown by this untainted, intelligent creature was something that filthy, chaotic, and desire-filled monster streamers had never managed to give them before.
It made them feel warmth.
What the—this thing… it’s too cute~!
▶ Whoa, shit, I feel like I’m being purified.
▶ Dying and ascending confirmed? lol
▶ Wait, is this a baby slime? Really?
▶ lololol is that really a baby slime with intelligence? Crazy!
▶Waaah! Waaah! Mama! Feed me!
▶ Yeah yeah, it really was a baby slime~
▶ Wait, for real? lololol
▷ I can see! I can see!
With the excited slime joining in, the energy in the chatroom grew even hotter.
