Slade stared at the helpless granny sleeping underneath him. He was overcome by an intense sense of guilt. Killing someone was generally an unethical choice. There were too many unknown variables to prompt Slade to take such a radical and irreversible course of actions.
It’s a dream right? I’ll return home when I wake up, and I’ll be able to finish the last chapters of ‘Domestic na Kanojo’. Man, I’m so hyped about the ending.
As seconds turned into minutes, and minutes into hours, Slade couldn’t withstand the dread of being separated from his original body and trapped into a disgustingly weak creature. No matter how many times he slapped himself, he would helplessly wobble without waking up to reality.
Fuck it, I’ll kill her! She brought it upon herself for kidnapping me.
And so, the impulsive slime hopped on Violet’s chest and poured his juices on her.
[Skill: Alchemical Synthesize & Absorption activated.]
Kuahahahaha, die for my freedom!
[Stains defeated. You gained 32 experience points.]
Wait a second, that’s not what I want to do.
[Dead cells defeated. You have learned the skill: Skin Exfoliation! You gained 54 experience points.]
What about her living cells though!?
“Hmm…” the warlock turned on the bed. Slade sweated from tension, thinking about what would happen to him if he was caught.
He moved down her body, to parts that should be less sensitive to his touch.
[Leg hair defeated. You gained 46 experience points.]
Is this a joke?!
[You have learned the skill: Beautification.]
The shriveled slime wobbled in exhaustion after hours of attempts at digesting his Sovereign. It wasn’t hard to imagine that he was simply unable to harm her if she could control him with orders.
In the end, he only managed to acquire a bunch of obscure joke skills instead of killing the helpless woman.
He looked at his status window, fuming with frustration.

“Huh? I feel really good for some reasons.”
Violet yawned as she removed her blindfold. Her gaping mouth froze as she processed the situation.
“Slade, did you do that? It’s astonishing!”
She sniffed at her clothes, and admired her smooth hands and shaved legs. Squeezing the trembling slime, she buried her face into it.
“Thank you! I’m horrible at anything but Earth Magic, staying clean in an underground dungeon is so much trouble, so I am soooo grateful to you,” she said.
The dying slime used the skill: Shapeshift and raised a shaking thumb up to Violet.
At least, I earn recognition...
“Hmm… You look worse than before. Let’s give you something to eat,” she said.
She slammed the door open and rushed to the Troglodyte warrens. She found her three rooks in a dispute.
Slade twitched in amazement at the three beauties. He wriggled in shyness, burying himself in Violet’s arms.
The startled women shut their mouth and glanced at the hooded warlock in wariness.
“Shaki, do you still have the corpse of the dead pawns? It’s urgent,” the sovereign asked.
The blindfolded green-skinned female troglodyte opened and closed her mouth at her unexpected request.
“S-sure, follow me.”
The harpy and the minotaur followed them in curiosity.
“Go ahead, Slade! Feast on those corpses,” Violet said as she threw the slime in the shallow pit.
He started to dissolve the troglodyte flesh without problem, confirming that he had restrictions against harming his sovereign.
“Mistress, what is this creature?” Lorely asked.
“Hehe, that’s the Toilet Slime I made. Put it in a chamber pot, and it can eat urine and stool!”
“Toilet…”
“...Slime?”
Violet stuck out her chest in expectation for praises at her revolutionary breakthrough in artificial life magic.
The troglodyte sighed and the minotaur looked at her in utter contempt.
“And there I was wondering what could be urgent. Is this a joke?” the minotaur asked.
“What?” the warlock froze.
“If you have time to waste on that, you should take better care of the dungeon. Anyway, I’m busy digging the tunnel so bye,” Shaki said.
“Here we are bleeding ourselves to complete this mission, while you were playing with slimes. Shit, I should find another sovereign once we’re done!” the minotaur said.
The two rooks left the disappointed warlock.
“Lorely, do you think the same?”
“Erm… I think taking care of your hygiene is a wonderful step forward. I’m glad that I won’t have to worry about your well being!”
“By the way, what were you arguing about?”
“The ore mine that I found was already occupied by a horde of gnolls. Milia and Shaki were chewing me out for almost getting us killed and wasting their time…”
Slade shuddered at the realization that his camp was in a bad position. Would he be sent to battle and die as a Toilet Slime?
“I apologize for being so useless, mistress!” Lorely cried.
“Don’t worry, I will personally move out and acquire the mine,” Violet said.
“Mistress!? A sovereign shouldn’t head out to battle!” Lorely gasped.
“A-aren’t you overreacting? I should be fine if it’s only gnolls.”
“No, definitely not! I know that your strategic destruction spells are powerful, but you’re open to sneak attack and ambushes during the spell casting. Our current forces can’t guarantee your protection,” Lorely said.
“If you say so...” Violet sighed.
“There’s no helping it, I will continue to scout for easier targets,” Lorely said.
The harpy took off, headed for the surface.
“What should I do, Slade… Hmm?”
There was nothing left in the pit but a round slime.
[The Troglodyte form has been unlocked for the skill: Shapeshift. You have learned the skill: Dark vision.]
[Skill: Shapeshift activated.]
Slade wobbled furiously, mustering all his concentration. His jelly-like body slowly stood upright.
“How cute! You turned into a mini troglodyte.”
His silly face remained the same whether he was in slime or troglodyte form.
Violet was delighted, as he hopped up from the pit. His head barely reached her hips.
She caught him in her arms, looking at his status window.
“Skincare, huh? You’ve learned so many skills in such a short time. Symbiosis? Hmm...”
The sovereign spaced out, reading its detail and thinking about its usage.
Slade reverted into a slime. He was eager to turn back into a human, but with his current size and skills, it didn’t seem something achievable in the short term.
Hum, Hello? he nudged Violet.
“Sorry, I was deep in thought… Let’s go back to my room.”
Violet sat on her bed with Slade on her thighs. She lowered her hood, revealing a youthful smooth glowing skin.
The slime was proud of his Skin Care skill and contemplated her violet eyes.
“I’m hungry.”
Her face loomed over the slime.
W-wait, you’re not going to eat me, are you?
