"Didn't you say you weren't going to follow me?"

"I'm not. I just happen to be walking on the same path as you. If you really want to get technical, it's you, Felyn, who's following me."

The moment Felyn stopped, Zervanie, who was behind him, also stopped. She turned her head away, pretending not to see the expression on Felyn's face.

"Are you also looking for the Demon King's daughter?"

"Y-yes. I didn't get a chance to thank her last time. Besides, Miss Eitani is so beautiful and her chest is so big, what if you get bewitched by her and never come back? I think I have a duty to look after my teammate."

"Marry into the Demon King's family and then invade the empire? That's not a bad script." Felyn also wanted to play the villain for once, to get rid of everyone he didn't like.

Seeing Zervanie's face puff up like it was being inflated, Felyn sighed lightly and waved her over. "Come on, I won't chase you away."

"R-really?"

Felyn felt that Zervanie was determined to stick with him, and continuing to be coy like this wasn't a solution.

So, pestering him relentlessly was the most effective way to deal with Felyn. The little pink-haired lady knew this from deep experience.

"Let's get this straight first. When we meet Eitani, you hide far away. I'll go alone. The moment you see me use the transfer sigil, you immediately use yours to escape too, understand? The other party is the Demon King's daughter. The two of us definitely can't beat her."

"Mhm, I understand." Zervanie nodded obediently and followed by Felyn's side.

Their ankles brushed against the wild grass on the ground, making a rustling sound.

After walking side-by-side with Felyn for a while, Zervanie couldn't help but let the corners of her mouth curve up, and she giggled.

At this moment, she was like a narcissus flower blooming before the world, her smiling face capable of healing all the pain in the world.

"Are you that happy?"

"Hehe." Zervanie stuck out her tongue and skipped ahead a few steps. Zervanie was very happy to have gotten her way.

Looking at Zervanie like this, much of the tension and worry that had accumulated in Felyn's heart dissipated.

Being by her side, it always felt like the surroundings had fallen into a fairy-tale world, where even demon kings and enemies seemed to become cute.

Is this the charm of a songstress? It's indeed a bit terrifying.

"Felyn, Felyn! Come quick, there seems to be a magical beast up ahead."

Zervanie, who was walking in front, waved at Felyn, signaling for him to come over quietly.

"A slime? It's actually this big."

Hiding behind a tree, Felyn saw a giant slime lying on the stream.

It lay domineeringly in the stream, cutting off all the water flowing from upstream.

The slime's body was also constantly expanding and swelling, reaching the height of a two-story building.

"Felyn, should we fight it?"

Zervanie looked back at Felyn. She was a little reluctant to fight a slime.

Because it would occasionally spew out milky-white mucus, which would corrode clothes if it got on them, which was quite disgusting.

"We can't beat it."

The slimes in this world were not to be trifled with. Their skin was very tough, and even a fourth-tier sigil would have difficulty harming it.

The surrounding terrain was complex. If they wanted to go around it, they would have to enter the forest on the right.

Felyn was even more reluctant to walk in a forest with low visibility, as it would be more dangerous.

After careful consideration, Felyn decided to stay put. The slime would leave after it had drunk its fill, and then the two of them could set off.

The two of them squatted behind the tree, watching the slime in front of them swell larger and larger.

Half an hour later.

"This guy can really drink, can't it?"

Felyn had even moved back quite a bit to avoid being discovered.

The slime had now become a behemoth three stories high, and it showed no signs of stopping.

Felyn really couldn't wait any longer. Heaven knew how long the slime was going to stay here.

"Zervanie, let's go into the forest and take a detour." Felyn glanced at the woods, where visibility wasn't great. Although going into the woods might mean encountering highly concealed magical beasts, it was better than staying put.

If this continued, it would get dark.

"Wait, Felyn, look, something is coming over there."

Zervanie pulled on Felyn's sleeve, telling him to come back.

A purple ball of light rushed towards the slime at an extremely fast speed, leaving an afterimage in the air.

"I was wondering why the water stopped while I was washing. So it was you!"

Felyn found the voice a bit familiar. It wasn't until the figure flew next to the slime that he saw the newcomer clearly.

"It's Eitani..."

The beautiful girl with horns on her head was none other than the Demon King's daughter, Miss Eitani, and also Felyn's target.

"Felyn, wait, don't look. Miss Eitani isn't wearing any clothes." Zervanie quickly covered Felyn's eyes, afraid he would see something he shouldn't and develop a cross-species love for Eitani.

But Felyn had actually already seen it.

And Eitani was properly wearing a swimsuit, a human swimsuit that she had asked Princess Dorothy to send her.

After Eitani came to the human world and destroyed Karin's witch, she had been locked up on the 100th floor by the Demon King and was only recently released.

To wash away her bad luck, she came to the 23rd floor. Unexpectedly, the water stopped while she was washing. She flew all the way up the river and finally saw this slime.

"Had enough to drink? Leave some for me." Eitani said to the slime with her hands on her hips.

Although the size difference between the two was enormous, the slime became very scared upon seeing Eitani and desperately tried to move forward.

"You're too greedy. Your body can't even move anymore. Let me help you release some water."

Eitani had also rarely encountered such a large slime. Immobility was also fatal for a slime, as it could easily become a target for attack.

Eitani gave the slime a light kick, poking a hole in its body.

The water stored inside it gushed out from the hole, and the slime's body slowly shrank.

"Don't drink so much in the future, you hear me?"

Eitani saw that the problem was solved and the stream had returned to normal. She nodded in satisfaction and walked downstream.

"Felyn, are you really going to talk to Eitani?" Zervanie tugged on Felyn's sleeve, a little worried.

Eitani had kicked a hole in the slime with one foot, and the slime's skin was known to be very thick.

"Probably, maybe, uh..."

Can I really sign a contract with an Eitani like this?!

I feel like she could really kill me with one punch.

At this moment, the slime's body rapidly shrank. A few minutes later, a high-pressure water jet sprayed from its body began to slowly lift it up.

Under the recoil, the slime was launched into the air and flew straight towards Felyn and Zervanie.

The water released by the slime was mixed with a part of its body, turning into a sky full of bubbles in the air, slowly drifting down.

These bubbles were harmless to the human body, but they were harmful to clothes, as they could corrode the fabric.

Felyn pulled Zervanie and quickly ran backwards, but the slime in the sky was obviously faster. It flew over their heads, scattering a large number of bubbles.

"Eek~"

Zervanie let out a small cry. Felyn turned his head and saw her clothes slowly being corroded by the bubbles, revealing the lace underwear underneath. Felyn even accidentally saw the cleavage of her chest.

The backpack on Felyn's back also began to corrode. If the backpack was gone, it would be very inconvenient to carry so many things.

He wanted to take Zervanie into the forest, but there were even more bubbles in the forest. These bubbles were very elastic, bouncing around like transparent rubber balls.

There were no leaves or other objects around to provide cover.

"Felyn, I'm fine. Let's just leave quickly." Zervanie covered her chest with one hand, not paying too much attention to her clothes.

If they ran into that slime later, that would be the real danger.

If it's exposed, it's exposed. If you still have to worry about clothes and appearance in a battle, you will definitely fail, and you might even lose your life.

And... anyway, there's no one else here. It doesn't matter if Felyn sees.

"No, my backpack is about to be corroded."

Felyn wanted to hold the backpack in his arms to protect it, but there were more and more bubbles around, and they would bounce up after landing on the ground, bouncing all over the place.

Hiding in the stream was a good idea, but the backpack couldn't be thrown directly into the stream.

"If we had a fire-type sigil, we could burn the bubbles released by the slime," Zervanie said.

"Then we're done for. I didn't bring any fire-type."

Felyn looked at Zervanie, whose clothes were already mostly corroded, revealing her fair, smooth, private skin.

It felt like Zervanie's clothes were more important.

"By the way, why are you wearing stockings under your trousers?" Felyn pointed at her leg and said.

Zervanie looked down and saw that her trousers had several large holes, revealing the black fishnet stockings underneath.

She could even see the faint pattern indented on the skin under the fishnet stockings by the mesh.

"D-don't they look good?"

"They look good, but I personally prefer... wait, now is not the time to talk about this!"

How did we get off-topic
