Volume 3, Chapter 22 – Tiffany’s Surprise Attack!

It was stuffy.

Almost to the point of not being able to breathe.

It felt as if a giant rock was pressing on her chest—no, it was more like being in a cocoon, only the cocoon was gradually contracting. The pressure from all sides was almost suffocating, and a stuffy heat enveloped her entire body. Sweat seeped from her back, and her silver hair was stuck together.

I’m going to die.

Like unexpectedly missing a step while going down stairs, or falling off a cliff, Yisi’s whole body shuddered. She suddenly opened her eyes, waking up from her dream.

Perhaps because her sleep was too short, her mind felt hazy, and her vision was blurred. Remembering she had no plans for today, Yisi rolled over to continue her lazy slumber. This wasn’t the first time she had experienced something like this.

It’s a good thing Tiffany didn’t open the curtains when she got up.

Her attempt at forging a weapon last night had lasted until dawn. By the time Yisi finished everything and returned to her room, the sky was already faintly lit. At that moment, Yisi had immediately laid down next to Tiffany and fallen asleep as soon as her eyes closed.

It’s probably only eight in the morning.

Yisi wiggled her body, remaining in a half-asleep, half-awake state.

For some reason, Yisi felt an incredibly comfortable sense of relaxation, like the feeling of being unclothed at home in the summer. The rustling sound of skin rubbing against skin was exceptionally pleasant.

Then came a floating sensation, as if she were submerged in water, with an unknown force supporting her torso and limbs from below. The warm buoyancy enveloped her from the back of her head to her toes, a comfort so great she was almost moaning.

In this state, Yisi quickly lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep. However, this only lasted a few minutes. A strange feeling of an invading foreign object made the sleeping Yisi frown.

Something soft, slightly sweet, and sticky had entered her mouth. After exploring for a bit, it found her tongue hidden behind her teeth. Like a stray cat that had caught the scent of its prey, it cautiously but resolutely pried open her teeth with a motion that wouldn’t be easily noticed, then intertwined itself with Yisi’s tongue.

Like a sponge meeting water, the light green tentacle made of slime began to brazenly take her saliva. Like a hungry traveler who hadn’t eaten in a long time, the light green tentacle, which had been wrapped around the base of her tongue, slowly moved towards the tip, scraping away every last drop of saliva like an eraser on a white piece of paper.

Such frantic behavior naturally alerted Yisi, the host. Or rather, the moment the tentacle reached into her throat, Yisi was startled awake by a feeling of revulsion.

She instinctively tried to vomit from the physiological reaction, but the tentacle showed no intention of retreating. Instead, it moved back to the tip of her tongue and took up a position in her oral cavity, refusing to withdraw.

It was at this moment that Yisi became fully conscious. She suddenly realized what the thing in her mouth was, and then used her upper and lower jaw to forcefully sever the connection between the tentacle and its main body.

Pop.

Like biting a balloon filled with liquid, the sweet liquid from inside the tentacle burst in her mouth. Yisi immediately swallowed it.

If some person chosen by fate were to enter the room at this moment, they would see a scene that would make their eyes bloodshot—a girl with long silver hair and an appearance of about 14 years old was floating in the air above the bed with her eyes closed. A mass of light green liquid, like a cocoon, heavily enveloped her. The girl’s clothes had long since been dissolved, and her waist was slightly raised by the slime, exposing her smooth neck and armpits. Combined with her face, which was slightly frowned in discomfort from the lack of oxygen, it created an unspeakable sense of perversity.

“Tif-fa-ny!”

[Lightning Bolt]

A flash of blue-purple light coursed across Yisi’s body. Then, the slime enveloping Yisi seemed to lose its strength, receding to the sides like a receding tide. Finally, it slowly gathered back together, changing from a slime to a human girl with fresh green twin-tails.

But Tiffany, in her human form, could only lie motionless on the bed. Due to the continuous paralyzing effect, Tiffany’s consciousness had flown to the edge of the clouds. If this were a manga, Tiffany’s eyes would be spiral-shaped.

Yisi propped herself up on her elbows and sat up, her blue eyes filled with anger.

“You actually attacked me while I was sleeping, and in… that way.”

Dissolving her clothes and even wrapping her up could be overlooked, but putting a tentacle in her mouth was something Yisi had to teach her a lesson about—even though Tiffany tasted good.

Just because it was fine for her didn’t mean it would be fine for someone else. If she indulged Tiffany here, who knew if Tiffany would do the same to other innocent people in the future.

Mentally, Tiffany was not much different from Mary, just one was taciturn and the other was lively and innocent.

Yisi first pulled back the curtains, and then, because her mouth was full of Tiffany’s taste, she planned to pour herself a cup of water to rinse it out. But when Yisi picked up the teacup on the low cabinet, she found that all the water, including the water in the teapot, had been completely cleared out.

Yisi couldn’t help but look back at Tiffany, who was still paralyzed on the bed—she seemed to be a size smaller than she was last night.

Could it be that she was running low on water and that’s why she came looking for me?

Yisi checked Tiffany’s MP. Even after wrapping her up for a full-body “bath” and taking her saliva, Tiffany’s MP was still less than 20 points.

“…Her maximum MP has increased. Did she level up in her sleep last night?”

When they returned to the city yesterday, Yisi had Tiffany throw rocks at the monsters, and those monsters were then killed by Camilla and Mary, so Tiffany had gained a lot of experience.

“I remember when we came back this morning, Tiffany was lying on the bed in her human form. Did she forget to cancel her ‘Imitate’ skill, and then when she woke up, she found her magic power had run out and she urgently needed to rehydrate?”

If her magic power was depleted, she naturally couldn’t walk out of the room in her slime state. Tiffany must have been forced to ask her for help to replenish her magic.

I should have asked for the situation first before pushing Tiffany away.

“Hmm…”

Yisi tapped her head in frustration. She cut her finger with a weapon and dripped a little blood onto Tiffany. Soon, Tiffany’s magic power was fully restored.

“Tiffany, time to wake up.”

Yisi shook Tiffany’s body. Tiffany slowly opened her eyes. They were a vivid green and filled with confusion. After staring at Yisi for a while, tears slowly welled up in her eyes.

She was crying.

Was she crying because Yisi had shocked her? Or was she crying out of fear from being without water for so long? Yisi had no way of knowing, but either way, it was her fault.

She felt at a loss.

Now is the time to take responsibility.

Yisi helped Tiffany sit up from the bed and patted her on the back.

“Ah, I’m sorry. I did that so suddenly.”

“Water.”

“Eh? Not because I shocked you?”

“Magic, water.”

Tiffany explained the reason while wiping her tears. Although it was strange for a slime to cry, Yisi was relieved. It seemed it wasn’t a direct accident caused by her.

Fortunately, apart from shedding tears, Tiffany neither whimpered nor cried loudly, so Yisi was able to calmly solve the root problem. She waved her hand, summoned a few [Ice Walls], broke them into pieces, and then melted them with fire magic. Tiffany immediately turned into a slime and absorbed all the melted water.

By the time Tiffany condensed back into her human form, Yisi had also tidied up the room. Of course, “tidying” just meant putting the garbage into her storage. Her storage had a nearly infinite capacity, so putting some garbage in it was fine.

Besides, Yisi also discovered something interesting.

A level 5 Tiffany was a bit taller and more mature than a level 4 Tiffany.

If Yisi had to describe it, it was like going from a 12-year-old girl to a 12.5-year-old girl.

Yisi circled Tiffany once.

“The length of your twin-tails hasn’t changed, but your height is definitely different from before. Tiffany, were you this tall originally? I mean at level 1.”

“Here.”

Tiffany gestured with her hand behind her, pointing to her chin. She probably meant her height at level 1 was only to the height of her current chin.

If she grows to level 20 or 30 in the future, will she become a mature older sister?

Yisi briefly fantasized about lying on Tiffany’s lap. If she looked up from the lap pillow, she would be able to see the mature fruits on Tiffany’s chest.

And then, Tiffany, as the older sister, would notice her secretly peeking and playfully scold her while covering her eyes with her hand, all while absentmindedly stroking her hair.

The effect would be even better if she also had lines like “Your hair is tickling me,” or “Don’t breathe in so hard.”

To be honest, she was a little excited.

“Lewd.”

Tiffany poked her cheek.

Tiffany didn’t have much change in her expression, yet she could always tell what others were thinking from their facial expressions.

Putting away her inadvertently lewd thoughts, Yisi stroked Tiffany’s head, her voice full of earnestness.

“Tiffany, you have to level up faster.”

“I’ve been offended.”

Tiffany slapped Yisi’s hand away, her mouth forming a triangular shape. She looked dissatisfied.

Has she progressed to being able to say two words after leveling up?

Yisi was not angry at all. On the contrary, she was even happier. She was looking forward to Tiffany’s future more and more.
