A woman who died from overwork in her previous life is reincarnated as an immortal witch and is supposed to be living a slow life for 300 years, but as the title suggests, she ends up killing slimes and reaching the maximum level, something every RPG fan has thought about at least once, and she ends up running into a lot of trouble that disrupts her slow life. This is a homely comedy that depicts how she solves these problems and the little everyday incidents that occur.

A female demon named "Crawler" has the appearance of a tiny caterpillar as a child, but as an adult, she takes on the appearance of a human with butterfly-like wings. He barged into Takahara's house, telling a blatant lie that he had sprained his ankle during his travels and wanted to stay for about seven days, and during those seven days he made a large amount of expensive clothing and other gifts for Azusa and the others. In fact, about 230 years ago, when he came to Furata Village with his parents, he fell into a puddle while his parents were not looking and was drowning when Azusa, who happened to be passing by, rescued him. After growing up, he started a clothing company, honed his skills in making clothes, and came back to repay Azusa's kindness.

No. 9: Helping Fakes

A self-proclaimed "Witch of the Highlands"... but a fake. Her real name is Eno. She has been immortal and working as a witch for 150 years, but she has received no recognition. She wanted to be pampered, so she ended up playing the role of Azusa, but the fake was poorly made to begin with (she ended up looking like an old woman). With advice from Azusa, she became known as the "Cave Witch," and sales of her homemade medicine, "Mandrake Tablets," skyrocketed. While she calls Azusa "senpai," she is not on good terms with her business rival, Harukara.

8th Place: Azusa vs. Beelzebub

A female demon who calls herself the "Lord of the Flies." After becoming involved with Azusa during an incident involving the "Nutritional Liquor" medicine created by Harukara, she began to visit Azusa's house whenever she could. To Azusa, she is a friend and an "older sister" figure she can rely on when she's in trouble. By the way, she wins thanks to the effects of the barrier.

7th Place: Adored by the Demon King

She's a petite girl with ram-like horns, but her true identity is the king of the demon kingdom, or in other words, the Demon King. Her real name is "Provato Pecora Aries." She loves to play pranks and often causes trouble for those around her. She looks up to Azusa, who is stronger than her, and calls her "big sister."

No. 6: An Unprecedented Battle with Slime Spirits

Though there was a mishap, Falfa, carrying the slimes' grudges, challenges Azusa to a battle of revenge, Azusa welcomes the two spirit sisters into her home and begins living with them. Sharsha and Falfa are about elementary school age. The spoiled Sharsha calls Azusa "Mama," while the tsundere Falfa calls her "M-Mom..." and they make Azusa fall head over heels for them. Relax in family mode and everyone's smiles will warm your heart.

5th Place: Betting on Results for the Village's Safety

Azusa, now the world's strongest witch, takes on the dragon girl Laika as her apprentice. To warm up their strengths and take on a new challenge, the two draw a large magic circle to create a barrier around the village. The villagers erupt in ecstasy. As the witch of the highlands, she is not feared and has managed to build good relationships with the villagers, which I think is a great achievement.

4th Place: Dragon One-Hit

Azusa, who wants to enjoy a leisurely life alone, tries to keep her world's greatest power a secret, but rumors spread quickly, and adventurers and dragons alike come to test her skills. He fights for the title of strongest in Nanterre province against the dragon Laika, but loses his temper when Laika claims his house was destroyed, winning with one punch.

3rd Place: The Birth of the Slime Spirit

Approximately 50 years before the main story, Azusa's souls of the tens of thousands of slimes she had defeated converged to form the "Slime Spirit" twin sisters. They look about 10 years old, and the older sister, Falfa, has a cheerful and childlike personality. Her younger sister, Sharsha, is quiet and reserved. Both of them love their mother, Azusa.

Number 2: Death from Overwork

Azusa Remembers Her Past Life

Originally, she was a dedicated office lady, but she died of overwork (at the age of 27) after working 50 days in a row and other unreasonable demands. After his death, he was reincarnated into another world by an angelic goddess (later known as "Mega Mega God"), who granted him his wish to become immortal and live a long, slow life, making him immortal in the body of a 17-year-old. I believe that working himself to death like this can truly be called a great achievement.

No. 1 Slime Experience Points

Azusa's Stats

Living a house on the plateau and interacting with the nearby village of Furata, she lived a slow life, defeating slimes that dropped "magic stones," an item that could be exchanged for cash. One day, after 300 years, she checked her stats and found herself at the maximum level of 99. By the way, the total experience points are equivalent to defeating 4,380 dragons. It's truly an incredible feat.
