Chapter 22: Abandoned Slime Castle
....
Shiori's pov
"Bosan flowers?" I stared at kyokota confused.
"There a rare species of flowers that only blossom this time of year, there highly medicinal and can be used make those creams I saw you use in your memories" he explained
"Oh, you mean skin care products" I stated
"Yes, I would like to make some for you..." He said looking flustered with pink dusting his cheeks.
Huh, that's actually not a bad idea, plus with enough research, I can make my own skincare line and sell them to high class nobles and make a fortune!
"Ok, and where are these flowers?" I queried a bit too excited
"In the forest however, I'm not sure where exactly, but I believe the students from draco academy might know"
"I see, ok then I'll talk to them and we can go together, I bet those flowers would be quite precious for them to refuse " I smiled cheekly
"Shiori-sama?" Kyoya tilted his head
........
I stood in front of the melvia guild waiting for them, my palms were sweaty and I was a nerve wreck.
My thoughts were interrupted as a sensed figures approach. I looked up to see mia, Williams and Xavier heading my way.
"Hey guys..." I waved with a smile.
"Hey, miss queen~" mia teased, I rolled my eyes.
I noticed Xavier staring at my thoughtful, his gaze lingering on my lips.
Oh no, don't tell me! I internally panicked.
"Do you eat meat? Cause you lips are a bit oily..." He pointed out.
Seriously!😑
I quickly rubbed my lips clean.
"Thanks for letting us join you on this quest" Williams smiled.
"No prob..."
if anything your the ones helping me.
We entered the forest, mia held a map while Xavier, William and I carried baskets on our backs.
"By the way, this is what we're looking for" mia said taking out a picture and showing it to me. , according to the picture,nIt was a violet lily like flower.
"We better inform her then" William chirped. I stared at them confused
"The bosan flowers may be great for making medicine and potions, however there quite challenging to handle, there pollen has a strong silencing effect, meaning once you inhale it, you won't be able to speak nor be able to use telepathy" Xavier explained.
"I see, thanks for the note, I'll be careful..."
We reached the valley as different colored bosan bloomed.
"Let's scattered so we can pick most of them before sunset" Williams suggested.
We all nodded and went our separate ways.
A few hours later.
I had just filled my fifth basket with bosan flowers. Although mia and the others carried only one basket, I had at least ten in my inventory.
"Maybe I should plant these in the garden back at the demi plane, but they might trouble everyone so I'll ask the dwarves to build a small enclosure for them..." I said as I placed another one gently into the basket.
Even if we're just harvesting, there's still a chance a monster might show up. I wonder if the others are alright, I wonder if Xavier will be okay....
"Huh, I didn't know bason flowers grew on trees..." I stared a the vine dangling in front of me.
I looked up tracing the vine then froze. my eyes widened, on top of a tree branch was a very large black bird with five, long, brown, vine like tentacles at the base of it's tail.
I stepped back, accidentally tripping over a rock and fell face first into the bosan flowers causing them to spray their pollen everywhere.
"AHHHHHhhhhaaaaaahhhhh..." I tried to scream for help but it was too late, the silence pollen had already taken it's effect and I had lost my voice.
Just then I felt something wrapped around my foot, I turned to see the bird had wrap one of it's tentacles around my leg.
Oh no!
i searched around for help., I noticed mia was the closest to me, currently resting at the moment. I waved my arms around desperately to catch her attention.
As if sensing my desperation, she turned my way, tilting her head in confusion.
MAYDAY! MAYDAY!! MAYDAY!!!
I mouthed to her desperately as she stared at me.
MAYDAY!
stare.....
MAYDAY!!
stare...
MAYDAY!!!
Her eyes widened before she smiled and waved her hands like I did, but in a 'i'm happy too' way before turning away to continue picking flower
I kneeled in defeat.
I'm so screw!🥲
Wait! I turned to face the beast.
{Insight activated}
{Species: black magpie}
{Lv: 90}
{Rank: intermediate}
{Strategy: straggles their prey}
{Strength: sharp talons, thick wings, tentacles}
{Weaknesses: habit of collecting shiny objects}
So it likes shiny things huh...
I took of my ring as my ears And tail popped out. I stood up, waving my ring around to catch it's attention.
I'm sure Liam is going to kill me for losing his ring, but it's that or my precious flowers.
The magpie gaze lingered on the ring, however, after a moment it's attention switched to my figure.
Before I could even think, I had dropped my ring and was hoisted into the air, dangling with my wrists above my head, both of my feet were wrapped with tentacles, prayed open.
I inhaled Sharply as I felt a tentacle go under my skirt, flickering my clit before passing through in-between my thighs.
No...stop... don't touch there....
I squirmed at the foreign sensation. The same tentacles then traveled up my chest before wrapping itself around my neck tightly as I gagged with my wet tongue out...
Stop it....
My body was moving quickly with fervor. The tentacle in-between my legs as it acted like a pivot rope, was constantly rubbing against my wet folds, all while at the same time strangling my neck.
I silently let out a moan as the other two tentacles attached to my body, one opening up my shirt before toying with my breasts. The other one wrapping around and pulling at the base of my tail.
S..so tight!
I could feel for myself how wet I had gotten over being choked. My core was aching due to all the constant rubbing as my body was heating up, aching for stimulus.
No...stop!
I could feel every of it's movements, the way the tentacle rubbed my very wet fold....
The way the tentacles fondled with my breasts, tugging on the erected nipples...
The Way my tail was being touched so causally....
I could feel it all, and strangely, I was getting used to the sensation which scared me.
Oh no, am I a masochist?!
I'm being toyed with by this perv. I swear, once I'm free I'm gonna chop you up and cook you!
The magpie cackled.
If this keeps up, I'll be paralyzed and be taken away to it's nest...
But I feel so powerless right now...
Someone, please help....
Anyone....
Someone help!
A gust of wind came as a figure sliced the tentacles of my body before catching me in their arms.
Xavier! My eyes lit up with hope, just then Mia shit an arrow at the monster's head, making it tumble to the ground, now dead..
"Are you okay?" Xavier ask as he put me down
"Shiori!" Mia hugged me close
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were calling for help!" She cried in my shoulder.
"It okay, mia" my eyes widened
"My voice, its back!" I smiled in relief
"Guess the effect wore off" William said.
"Um, thankyou...for saving me..." I said to Xavier while playing with a strand of my hair shyly.
"I'm just glad you're alright" he sigh before a small smile crept onto his face. My heart skip a beat.
"A.. anyway! I think we have enough flowers, Time to head home!" I looked away and opened up a mist portal before running in with my goods.
Xavier and the others blinked in surprise...
......
Once back in my room I cupped my red cheeks.
"Sigh, so embarrassing...." I recalled the Incident, my face burning beet red as I remember that addictive sensation.
Hesitantly, I reached down into the waistband of my skirt, stroke my already swollen clit. Thanks to that monster sinanegins, I was now horny as shit. I rubbed my folds which were already dripping with need....
Just then the door opened as I halted in my actions.
"Shiori-sama, your back" a deep voice echoed
"Oh hey kyokota! Got the flowers! But their pollen causing a silence effect so be careful alright!" I quickly shoved the basket in his hands before gently shoving him out the door.
Once closed, I slid against the door and onto the floor.
God I'm a mess.....
......
We were riding in our carriage, this time driven by komori wolves. I thought if everyone knows I'm a demi human, why hide some luxury.
We're currently on our next Mission, it was requested from king Steven in exchange for him helping me with my request to the Gacier family so well I couldn't really refuse it.
However....
"What's wrong shiori-sama, you look uncomfortable" kyokota said as he stared at me.
"I just can't believe the elf king wants us to investigate an abandoned slime researcher's castle...."
"Do you really hate slimes that much, I mean they're only just slime?" Haruna said tilting her head.
"I very much dislike, mostly due to their shenanigans with my body during every single encounter I've had with them so far. I also read in a encyclopedia that there's a green type slime which melts clothes, just thinking about it makes my skin crawl..." I whined
"I get it shiori-sama, having your clothes melted off sounds wonderf- I mean humiliating." Kuro chirped, keeping his dirty fantasies to himself.
"I should just asked king Steven to give us a different quest..." I sighed
"No way! And let all those neighboring village live in fear NAI! as adventurers it's our sworn duty to defend the weak, even if it's from perverted slimes!" Ryu bellowed like a knight who had been offered a pay raise.
"Plus were already on our way, why bother turning around now" he sat with a wide grin.
I narrowed my eyes
"Ryu, your not thinking of anything inappropriate are you...?" My voice was laced with suspicion
He tensed
"Of course not, shiori-sama!" He chuckled awkwardly.
I stared at him not believing a word but let it rest.
We soon reached the abandoned castle. Stepping inside, we cautiously looked around.
"We don't know what to expect, nor what the properties of the slimes here are" I said
"Maybe the researcher has a book on them " kuro said stepping forward into the building.
.....
We searched the library in the castle for books on slime, unfortunately most of them were eaten up, leaving only their hard book covers.
"I guess the paper made a nice tasty snack for the green slimes" I sighed
"Shiori-sama, I've found one that isn't eaten." Kuro said as he held white, hard cover book.
"It seems to have information on various slimes as well" he added
"Great, now we can know what we're facing, good job kuro" I smiled.
"Oh shiori-sama..." he smiled cupping he's redden cheeks like a hopeless school girl.
We walked out of the library and into the hallway.
"Master, look!" Haruna pointed at the end of the corridor. A bunch of slimes were heading our way, and not just any slimes, bright green ones.
"I'll despose of them!" Kuro said activating a ball of black energy
"Hell no! You'll destroyed the whole building!" I stopped him.
"There getting closer" Haruna paled.
"Everyone, upstairs!" I ordered as everyone ran up the staircase, stopping at the middle.
"What's this?" Ryu asked noticing the slimes had stopped following us.
"I believe they're rather territorial " kyokota spoke stoic.
"Go riddance---ah!" Ryu slipped on a strange fluid and landed on his butt.
"What the heck is this?! It's so...slimy..." He cringe as he felt up the fluid in his hands.
We look up at the end of the staircase to see a couple of cream colored slime as they were secreting stick colorless fluid as it flowed down the stairs like a waterfall.
"They appear to be lotion slimes, when sensing danger, the release a lathery fluid. A fail creation..." Kuro read out
"What does he mean by that?" Kyokota asked with a raised eye brow.
"Are you sure he the researcher wasn't failing on purpose... " I deadpanned. Ryu got up and slipped again, this time grabbing on to my shoulder. surprised by the force I slipped and fell down the stairs....
And... Unto the load of hungry green slimes....
AAAAHHHHH!!!😭
"I'll save you shiori-sama!" Kuro quickly used his webbing to grab me before yanking me back to the stairs.
"Are you alright, shiori-sama-!" There eyes widened as there face flushed.
Most of my clothes were melted off, revealing my thighs, my panties, my stomach, my chest which was barely covered with my black laces bra. I noticed there lustful gazes as my face flushed beet red.
"DON'T LOOK!!!" I Punched Ryu hard in the stomach.
"Why...me...?" He whined
"Oh god, thankyou for this blessing for my eyes..." Kuro muttered with a heavy nosebleed.
"I heard that!"
"Pervert..." Kyokota muttered disapprovingly at kuro. He then walked over to me and took off his yakata.
"Here..", he offered looking away
"Thankyou" I wore it and covered myself up.
"Well it seems like the researcher was trying to make a particular slime, however had a mass production of failures" Ryu muttered.
"I say we burn the whole place down! We'll purify it!" I said, clenching the yakata even tighter against my body.
"I agree with you!" Haruna added, pouting in offense
Ryu sighed before looking ahead. There were a row of statues, with strangely large boobs?
Ryu narrowed his eyes before touching the statue's chest, our eyes widened as the chest swished in his palm
"So soft" he muttered making all of us stunned. The chest then fell onto the floor before changing into Pink slimes
"Bust slimes, they cling to women's chest and imitate them, close but still not my goal" kuro read out.
"Closer to what!" I pouted
"It also says that they prefer to cling onto smaller chests" he added. Just then the slime launched it's way to haru. I summoned my scythe and cut the slime to pieces.
"I'm still growing...I'm still growing" haru stated with a defeated expression.
We all sweatdropped
We entered into another room, it had a shelf of books, a kitchen, a study. The researcher's skeleton was propped on the sofa.
"Did the researcher live here?" Haru quired
"Probably." I picked up the book on the table and read it out loud.
"Finally, I've do it, I've made the prefect slime, now my dream no the dream of every man has be granted. ah, I can see heaven..."
I Deadpanned. "What The f*ck?"
"Shiori-sama look!" I turned to see a purple slime, it grew and turned into a spitting detailed image of my form aside for the fact that it was completely naked!
AHHHHHHHHHH!!! I let out a loud scream filled with absolute horror.
.......
We stood on a hill, watching the building burn in the brilliant flames.
"Purity it!" I said with no emotion
"Purify it!" Haru deadpanned
The guy just sweatdropped at the sight of our extreme act of burning the castle.
So basically the researchers dream was to create a slime that imitates the form of a man's greatest desire.
I swear if the pervert wasn't dead.I would have happily killed him myself😓
I sighed, just then I got a transmission.
"Hello?" I asked as he spoke through telepathy.
"Shiori, my darling daughter in law, I've done it! I've gotten you a presence with the king of buarheld " king Steven spoke happily.
I smiled
"We're going to the beast humans nation!"
