It's a slime...and you have awoken it.

Gasping, you see some sort of blue transparent liquid on the ground. Some of it slides off your foot with the viscosity of honey. It's clearly not water, but it may be a trail by someone...or something. Perhaps it's secretions from one of those snail women?

Wrong. Your analysis is cut quickly as the liquid jumps off your feet and scurries into the darkness. You open your mouth agape, surprised that you managed to step into some kind of organism.

Shaking your head, you really hope that you're just imagining things. But, looking back on your feet, it seems completely dry, as if you never stepped into any liquid of the sort.

Yet, you are sure that something slid off your foot, and you can only gulp and sweat a little. In the shadows, you hear something more slimy moving. Stepping back a bit and watching with careful eyes, you see a...molding in the shadows.

A groan escapes from ahead, but it's very close, unlike the female giggles you keep hearing in the distance. Whatever is molding itself, you need to act fast-

"Oh ho? Looks like another brave adventurer has come..."

You widen your eyes as the molding in the shadows stops. You haven't heard any comprehensible words beyond eerie giggles. Coming within your torch's light, you hold your breath as a girl emerges. She's covered in...no, it would be better to say she's entirely comprised of the blue liquid you stepped in.

It's now clear to you that this is a slime girl who is, at best, abnormally intelligent to be speaking in English. You've heard tales about the slimes before. They primarily live near water and are easily found near lakes and ponds. There's no mention of slime girls speaking, except if they saw a male, they would jump at the opportunity to milk out whatever they had.

In other words, getting caught by a slime is one sure way of drying up into skin and bones.

With your hand free, you're ready to perform magic as necessary. The slime creature before you simply smiles at you with amusement. Thanks to your torch's light, you can still see the details of the shape she holds with fine details. She has enough mass to boast a large chest and an almost solid figure. Since they're amorphous, they can change into anything they want, which adds to their danger.

"Let's not be so hostile here. Not many witnesses a talking slime girl...or any sentient creature girl alive for that matter. Since you've woken me up, why not entertain me for a little bit, huh?"

You curl your lips and wonder if you should just attack her or converse with her. You don't want to find out what she means by "entertain". Yet, at the same time, this is the first monster girl you had found that can speak so clearly.
