Everybody Except Benladra and I were out for today, we arrived at the Orange Village and Benladann decided to go "shopping" something with the other girls, Rakasha went to check out some nearby blacksmiths too, so we were left alone with Fuyu and my monster pets alongside Benladra. Benladann really wanted to take a break from watching over Benladra all the time, and I could understand how she felt, so for today until later, I am in charge of my little daughter.
I had realized I never fed her with jelly made out of slime, as it was gone when she was born and we have not encountered more slimes in a very long time, but now that we were here for it, I quickly decided to boil down some slime, and then make some jelly out of it. usually you need to leave it rest inside a refrigerator for some time, but by adjusting its temperature using my ice magic, I can make it almost instantly after boiling it down and placing it in pots to serve.
Of course, I wasn't going to boil all the liquid slime I had, it was way too much and it would be a waste, but I mixed it all together, with a lot of sugar and fruit mush, I also added some slices of orange to give it a nice fragrance.
And while cooking it, there was a big pot with mixed slime I was going to boil later, the curious Fuyu used this opportunity to sneak in and slurp the slime as if it were a treat for her…
"Sluuurp… Ooh, this is good! …Eh?!"
Fuyu suddenly drank the slime and absorbed it into her body what happened afterwards was something I didn't expected, her body began to glow with bright light, covering her entire body with it. The bright light was encompassing her entire body and then she grew around three times her original size, the slime core also turned more colorful, and she had a bit of a rainbow tone to her bluish slimy body! Amazing! She evolved?! Like a Pokémon! No way.
"Ugh?! I feel stronger than before…" Said Fuyu. "I feel like this is what I should had done long ago!"
"Hey, did you just evolved by drinking slime?!" I asked. "And my slime! I was going to use it for more jelly!"
"Eh?! Sorry…" Cried Fuyu. "But my second body evolved so it's totally justified!"
"No, it's not!" I sighed.
Oh well, nothing I can do now that it ended like this, at the very least Fuyu grew stronger and that's… that's kind of it. She gained a lot more of Stats and even Abilities, I think she got better at magic and at transferring magic energy from her true body into this secondary body, but that's kind of it. Yeah…
Anyways, the jelly was boiling so I quickly moved to take it out. I poured it into small wooden pots, and then I used ice magic to cool them down, the jelly slowly cooled down and then it began to solidify! Yes, this is how it's done.
I quickly gave my daughter a little cup with colorful rainbow jelly, and I used a spoon to take it out, and slowly feed it to her. She ate the spoonful of jelly and munched it with her tiny fangs, stuffing her cheeks adorably.
"Hmm!" Said Benladra, as she seemed to enjoy the food. "Gwoood…"
"You like it dear? That makes me happy." I said with a smile, as Benladra enjoyed her meal while I petted her head and smiled.
I continued feeding her spoons as she ended devouring the entire little cup of jelly, and asked for seconds right away, I also began eating one myself, the jelly with the fruits went amazingly well together, the textures combining and everything else… It was way too good. I love jelly made with slime…
"C-Can I have some?" Asked Fuyu.
"You just ate half of my reserves and want more?" I asked.
"But that one was raw!" She complained.
"Okay." I sighed. I ended giving her some, and she enjoyed it as well. The addition of orange really gave it a nice and new kick to its flavor and fragrance.
And like that, we spent most of the day, eating and enjoying the day while secretly preparing for the fight that might soon arrive. Using my slime clones, I spread them around the walls so they could both scout the area and protect it. Some of these slimes were actually my other head clones, so whenever danger shows up, they'll transform into their humanoid forms and fight. They're way stronger than normal slime clones but are limited in quantity, and if I make too many of them, I end up weakening as each one is a head from my true body.
As the sun began to set on the horizon, we enjoyed dinner with my wife, Benladra, and the rest of our group, as we began to discuss our next course of action, one of my scout slimes quickly detected something happening within the jungles, as Kraxka was being accompanied by this slime, he saw from the distance as the lizardmen started to finally move, they were going to attack the village in the deep of the night, just a few more hours from now, apparently. It seems that lizardmen do better at night than at day, I suppose it is just for stealth purposes than anything else.
"These dark armor and weapons they're wearing and wielding… I don't know but I've never seen weapons so vile before aside from the cursed weapons that those vampires use!" Said Rakasha. "I've been researching them on my spare time, and they're infused with dark spirits and cursed so they become strong in exchange for draining the life force of the wielder, however these ones being wore by the lizardmen… I think they could be something completely different."
The expert Blacksmith seemed to know something wrong was going on, and I also felt the same, honestly… This is bad. I really have a bad feeling about this.
