This is how Ryouma’s life as a small child began. The story doesn’t have any intense revenge arcs or bloodsheds on the other hand it is very relaxing and enjoyable. Ryouma finds himself taming slimes with his kindness.

The powers are a part of the blessings given to him by the 3 Gods and a means to have a new life, in a new world, where he is free to do whatever he wants to do.

There are many small adventures in the first volumes of the series and seeing them in animation would be very interesting.
