Somehow, even less so

"Too thin..." Kimihito said, tasting a sample of the stew Miia was preparing under his supervision. Cerea was polishing her blade in the living room while Papi was pestering her but he knew he needed to stay near Miia doing this

"Ehh? But you just said it was too thick!" Miia protested. Her Darling had taken the afternoon to coach her personally, so she was trying her best...

"Yeah, but you put way too much in! Now it's more of a broth than a stew... This is why you have to taste it more often!"Kimihito protested, going back to one of the reference books Smith had gotten for him about the different subspecies of lamia. The sea serpent looked like it could be fun later, but they'd need enough water to have fun with that.

Meanwhile, Miia was having a mini sulk. She really wanted to get better at cooking in a hurry, but it had become rapidly apparent that it was a lot harder than she had expected. She could have just upgraded her skills with the Sex note, but for this she actually wanted to go without - this was her way to the title of wife over her fellow sex slaves! "I should be tasting it, huh..." She opens the lid on her stew to get herself a sample...

"KYA!?" A shout from Miia got the attention of all three girls, as they saw something like a goo bubble with a tendril wrapped around her head. "GABAH!? GABOBO!?" She shouted out in gurgles through the goo.

"MIIA!?" Kimihito shouted, running over to help, but the creature(?) jumped off her and slid through a crack in the walls. Grabbing Miia before she collapsed, Kimihito helped move her to the couch. "What the heck was that!? It got away before we could catch it..."

"It was a slime, Master!" Cerea stated.

"A slime!? Like the Dragon Quest mascot!?" Kimihito asked, still caught off guard by the whole experience. Had Miia's cooking actually created it!?

"Nay, Master. There are several liminal species that are strangers to human society. That slime is one such creature." Cerea clarified, Kimihito sighing in releif. At least Miia's cooking hadn't started creating abominations...

"But fear not!! For I shall protect you, Milord!! I swear it upon my blade!" Cerea said, holing her replica sword up dramatically. "I shall not permit my Master to be harmed by so lowly a creature!"

"Wow, It's been a while since you went on a knightly monologue." Kimihito replied. Not since chapter 19... "DWAH!?" He shouted as something jumped on him.

"Hey, why don't we forget that and play a game~! Papi's tired of playing by herself!" Papi was the one who jumped on him. Cerea shooed her off and began scolding her, while Kimihito moved to a bedpan to wet a cloth for the collapsed Miia's forehead. "Papi's really taken to video games on the Switch, maybe it's the motion controls..." He muses, before something splashes into the bedpan from the ceiling.

"It's the slime again!" He shouts in surprise as the slime rises from the water, growing like a tower. "STAND BACK!" Cerea shouts, leaping forward with her blade. "Get away from Milord!" She declared with a sword swing at the slime... only for it to bend wide, only a small amount of slime left on the blade as evidence of impact.

"I-Impossible! I didn't even leave a scratch! But in RPG's Slimes are always the weakest of the weak enemies!" Centorea exclaimed. "Not In Final fantasy! and how much of your knowledge base IS Dragon Quest, anyway!?" Kimihito responded. Suddenly as shadow loomed over the two as the slime came down upon them...

"Gh... Cerea, are you okay?" Kimihito panted, having a coating of slime over his body and clothes.

"Yes, somehow..." She said, getting up from the ground, covered head to hoof in a slimy coating. "I never imagined a slime would be this strong... Gh, my body's been coated in some sticky liquid." She said, thinking of master's cum from last night, but this goo didn't give her the feelings of joy from then.

"All right, I'm going to take a shower." Kimihito said, getting up and looking over his own slime coated body. "Feel free to join me, Cerea." The centaur nodded, ready to follow her master to get washed up. "Papi, Keep an eye on Miia and watch out for the slime."

"Papi will!" She said before turning back to the TV and playing her tennis game. Kimihito sighed as the two of them went to wash up...
