Aniki goes on a slimeicide in order to get a chill, adoptive family in I've Been Killing Slimes For 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level. Office worker Azusa ends up dying from over-working herself and is reincarnated as an immortal witch with a big hat. Wanting to take it easy, she limits herself to killing 25 slimes a day for basic income and keeps to herself. Unfortunately, her quiet life is disturbed by all manner of fantastic denizens when it becomes known that she's hit the level cap. Now her house is brimming with noise, but maybe that's ok. Also featuring: Fire Punch.
