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.
Harukara's Profile
Source: I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Now I'm Max Level © SQUARE ENIX
A female elf from the elven autonomous region of the "Good Branch" Principality in the province of Frant. She appears to be around 20 years old, but claims her actual age to be "17 years and 2,500 months (approximately 220-230 years old)." She works as a pharmacist, creating a nutritional drink called "Nutrition Wine."
A Big Sister with a Nice Body
Her physical features include an incredibly beautiful body. Until the appearance of Yufufu, the "Dripping Spirit," her breasts were (probably) the largest in the series. As a result, she's often the sexiest character in the main story, and Azusa even gets jealous when she compares her breasts to her own.
Her Strange Relationship with Beelzebub

He had successfully established "Harukara Pharmaceuticals" in his hometown, but the demon Beelzebub fell ill after drinking a nutritious liquor. Rumors spread that "Belzebub holds a grudge," causing employees to flee, effectively bankrupting Harukara Pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, he was chased out of his hometown after hearing the rumors, and Beelzebub even put a wanted poster out for him. Feeling his life was in danger, he turned to Azusa, who was just starting to spread rumors that he was level 99, and was sheltered as Azusa's second apprentice.
Misunderstanding
Later, Beelzebub revealed that the truth behind his poor health wasn't that he collapsed because the nutritious liquor didn't agree with him, but that he collapsed because he continued to work recklessly while drinking it (in other words, it was Beelzebub's own doing). The wanted poster also revealed that it was a misunderstanding: "Harukara had run away, so they couldn't buy nutritious liquor, and they were asking him to resume production."
What is nutritious liquor?
Harukara is selling this medicine. Despite its name, it contains no alcohol. It's apparently a huge hit all over the country, thanks to its reputation for helping people get through work when they're tired. It's a nutritious drink in both appearance and effectiveness.
Relationship with Family

Unwilling to return to his hometown, where he blindly believed Beelzebub and banished her, he continued to be Azusa's apprentice while starting a new company, Harukara Pharmaceuticals, in a nearby town (he later reconciled with his hometown and built a second Harukara Pharmaceuticals factory). He manages the sales and production of not only the nutritional alcohol but also Azusa's "edible slime" snacks. His business acumen makes him the wealthiest member of Azusa's family.
Harukara's Family
In fact, the reason Harukara started his business is due to his family back home. His family consists of five people, including his parents, older brother, and younger sister. However, not only are they just as sloppy as Harukara, but they also have a careless and careless personality that even Harukara finds shocking. This is especially detrimental at work, with their father making frequent careless mistakes and repeatedly getting fired and rehired. Their part-time brother is tardiness and can't stay in a job for long, so neither of them earns a decent living. The only one with a permanent job is the younger sister (who, incidentally, works at a nail salon, though she apparently earns a low salary). Furthermore, they spoil each other so much that they show no signs of improving. They're all good people, but they're a complete idiot.
The Breadwinner of the Family
Harukara, who is relatively sensible, had no choice but to become the family's breadwinner. However, since he himself isn't suited to working for a company, he decided to take on the management side, and that's how Harukara Pharmaceuticals was born. He also doesn't allow his family to spend his savings without permission, as giving them money in the wrong way would only make them more spoiled and spoiled. He currently employs his family at the new Harukara Pharmaceuticals factory built in his hometown, providing them with work and indirectly supporting them.
Harukara the Troublemaker

At first glance, she appears to be a "successful businesswoman who bounced back despite suffering misfortune," but her biggest flaws are that she is the biggest clumsy girl in the series and prone to making mistakes. She's also second only to Azusa in her tendency to get caught up in things. The incident with Beelzebub mentioned above is just the beginning; some of the main ones include her carelessness in separating edible mushrooms from poisonous ones, leading to her and Azusa eating them. There are many other episodes like this.
Mistakes

After starting Harukara Pharmaceuticals, he discovered that a ghost (Rosalie) was living on the land where he built his factory. After resolving the issue, he refused to accept a bribe when applying for a business license, leading to his false arrest by the state governor. To top it off, his family was invited to the demon kingdom, where he met the demon king Pecola. He headbutted her while bowing, knocking her unconscious and nearly resulting in her being executed. He's the biggest troublemaker in the family. Furthermore, unlike Azusa and Laika, his physical abilities are average, meaning he's unable to handle rough situations on his own.
