Life was not smooth sailing for the old man who lived in the forest.

While everyone else lived by forming contracts with monsters, the old man's companion was a slime.

The old man, who still spent his days disposing of garbage, suddenly realized that the slime he spoke to also possessed intelligence.

The old man rejoiced as his bond with the slime deepened, but already quite old, he passed away peacefully in his sleep.

He awoke to his familiar old house.

His best friend, who should have been dead, was there, young again.

He too had been rejuvenated.

He didn't know what had happened.

But with this life granted to him once more, this time, he would try to live earnestly alongside his slime.

An adventure story that begins with a return to the past, for whatever reason.

Also serialized on Kakuyomu, AlphaPolis, and other platforms.
