he escapes to the bottom of the cave, so it was all a misunderstanding?

Angela pulled up and looked 12

Under the layers of slime, the cave was turning a pinkish hue. She could see that the slime had escaped into two rooms deeper into the cave. The last room wasn't a cave, but she noticed some furniture and candles. Someone lived in the cave.

Angela tried to stick her head out to breathe, but this time the slimes didn't stop her, allowing her to breathe.

Slime: Wife, safe! No danger! Creator, help.

Angela: Creator?

The slime's head nodded with a smile.

Slime: Yes, creator, protect! Give strength! Let's go!

The slime, still in flight, approached a door and opened it. Inside was a furry... no, a feline, a cat-man in a wizard's robe, shaking a couple of vials in front of a workbench.

Slime: Creator! Creator! Danger, help!

The Cat Folk wizard, I speak with a strong accent.

Cat Folk: Malik told Slime to stay away from the cave, what problems could you have...

Malik: Ah, adventurer, Malik, I apologize to Slime, I still teach them personal spaces... Are you here for the great Malik? To deliver reagents? Where are the boxes? Slime, no broken, right?

Angela: ...no, there was a mission to find out what was happening here...

Malik: Ah! Malik, research wizard, perhaps a nearby village worried about unleashing a beast against them? Foolish peasants, I'm developing a new domestic slime for... various uses. By the way, Malik wants to know if... appreciated Slime cures.

Slime: got married!

Malik: No, Slime, Malik's angry, don't marry without Malik's permission... unless adventurer points a whip at Malik, Malik doesn't like pain.

Angela: .... so... was it all a misunderstanding? Yeah, so there's nothing dangerous going on here?

Malik: Malik believes his experiments are safe if left undisturbed. If disturbed, perhaps guests will end up naked, but Malik definitely hasn't hurt anyone.

Angela: Okay... can you get me released?

Malik nodded.

Malik: Slime, obey Malik's orders, leave the winged elf woman.

Slime: But she's a wife!

Malic: Obey Malik.

The slime made a sad expression but separated into three distinct figures, all three identical, which looked like smaller versions of the slime that had swallowed Angela.

Malik: If we're done now...

At that moment, the lovestruck druid bursts through the door at full speed.

Druid in love: Where are you, my Alpha?

Angela's Player: I want to lash out with my whip at the asshole!

Master: You understand he's been trying to save you all this time, right?

Angela's Player: My hatred and abhorrence toward him is too visceral to do otherwise.

The Master nodded.

The whip doesn't land with much ****; the constant fighting had left Angela short of divine punishments.

Druid in Love: My beloved! Time for games later! Let me save you and destroy these aberrations that had violated you!

Shortly afterward, Luli, Sylnohir, and the other druid joined him.

Malik: Don't fight! Fragile laboratory! Malik is harmless!

The muscular druid in love ignored the wizard; his hand filled with fire and a jet of it hurled itself at one of the slimes, destroying it.

Luli: Angela, we're here, are you okay?

Malik: No open flames in Malik's lab!

Angela: Yes, help me knock out the crazy druid, before he blows us up.

Luli looked at Sylnohir and the other druid.

Luli: I'd say so by a sense.

The other druid (losing a persuasion roll to Luli) nodded embarrassed.

What happened couldn't be called a fight; the lovestruck druid was subdued before his round even begin.

Malik: Malik was scared, Malik believed months of work was ruined due to a misunderstanding, Malik lost three lives.

Sylnohir: A catman! I like them when they purr in bed.

Slime: Creator, makes noise when he cuddles.

Malik: Cough, cough, Malik doesn't want to talk about this, Malik wants to resolve the misunderstanding, not destroy Slime and Malik's lab.

Luli: In exchange for what?

Angela: What? Why?

Luli: Well, he destroyed half of the clothes, and his slimes tried to **** us.

Malik was speechless for a second.

Malik: Sorry, Malik doesn't mean to cause trouble.

Luli: We'll forget about this if you pay us.

Malik: Smart adventuress, Malik's proposal, you want a prototype of mine in exchange for forgetting the problems Malik caused? Promise to put up signs in front of the cave warning strangers.
