I'm sorry to hear. The $7.99 price though is to buy it digitally not physically so there's no shipping charge to factor in. Still expensive though. I can link to the LN though.

Magic Haki at that. It's why Fuse is so pissed at the end. In the WN it's explained that channeling magic through your weapon like that is REALLY difficult so him casually doing it makes him overly stand out.
@Pokari
That's basically what happens in the WN. Fuse gets' displeased since it causes Rimuru to stand out too much, but the general feel is that he's just a tough as hell adventurer that the Trio happened to luck into finding.
Not sure how it'll be done in the LN, but the scene is bit different in WN compared to here. They explain that the proctor is a retired adventurer due to losing his leg and the monster line-up is different.

Ok. I just got the latest LN Volume which is LN3 and it ends with them about to take Charybdis so the current story is pretty much caught up and HOLY SHIT is the manga incredibly good in how it matches up to the LN. The LN is much more fleshed out, but the manga is damn a perfect retelling and...

Please don't remind me that all the manga I've recently picked up are monthly's and this only update once a month. ?
In any case, REJOICE!!! Lady Shurim has acquired the latest raws and will update shortly! The dreaded wait will soon be over and we can get our Slime fix!
@Rize_Suzumiya
Honestly no idea since LN 3 isn't out yet here in the West and everything since Charybdis is new material not in the original WN. Overall though, I'd say LN 3 given that LN 4 seems to be the Life in the Royal Capital Arc.
Edit: We're actually due a new chapter soon given that...
@Bladestone
That's what I'm guessing. My current head theory is that sensei and her male counterpart used to be a couple, but broke up due to a lover's quarrel.
