Just listen find the magic key

Nick tensed at the way Sylvia was staring at him. His heart started to race. He had been expecting this, because of course he had. Sylvia had emphasized this upcoming transformation of his several times. But that didn’t mean he was prepared for it.

“Are you ready my boy?” She purred, slinking closer to him. Her cane tapped menacingly against the floor with each step she took. “Soon enough, you’ll be transformed in a way you never could have imagined.”

A million possible ideas flashed through his head. What would his transformation be? Some sort of monster cock? Turned into a hulking, monstrous figure that could only think about fucking? Would he even recognize himself when this was dealt with?

The possibilities left him paralyzed.

“Wait!” Mary exclaimed. Sylvia turned to her and raised her eyebrow.

“This… this won’t hurt him, right?” Kim asked warily, sharing in Mary’s concern.

Sylvia smirked. “You don’t need to worry my girls. After all, unlike all your transformations, Nick’s was conceived by one of you! It will only be as severe and **** as you girls wanted it to be.”

She tapped her chin thoughtfully.

“Don’t tell me… do you not trust each other enough to choose wisely for your master?”

Everyone started looking warily at one another, while Nick processed this new piece of information. It had almost slipped his mind, but Sylvia had a point. Whatever transformation he was about to get, one of the women here had chosen it for him. They wouldn’t do anything too ****, right?

His eyes landed on Gina. She was grinning. A chill went down his spine.

Then again, maybe they would.

That wasn’t a very reassuring thought to have. He stared at Sylvia as the blonde stared back at him, relishing in his doubts. She was clearly dragging this out to make him as anxious as possible, maybe because she was hoping to see him **** on the anticipation, or maybe because she just wanted to see him squirm.

But Nick wanted to get this over with. If it was going to happen, it was going to happen. They’ve all been subjected to so many transformations already. It’s not fair if I throw a fit about mine. I’ll take whatever they gave me.

He figured that the girls had been through terrible transformations; it was only fair that he go through some himself.

“It’s fine,” he said. “Just get it over with.”

Sylvia grinned. “Happy to!” She raised her cane, and dark energy began to swirl around the crystal embedded in the head. The energy swirled around Nick, flying into his body. He braced himself for the changes, clenching his eyes shut as he felt the power surge through his body. And then… nothing.

Nick cracked an eye open, and saw a sea of confused faces in front of him. He looked down at himself, but didn’t see anything different.

“Um… can I get a mirror or something?” He asked. Sylvia was happy to oblige. With a tap of her cane a full-body mirror shot out of the floor, allowing Nick to check out his reflection.

Again, he didn’t see anything different.

“What the heck?” He asked, looking to Sylvia. “Nothing changed. I thought I was getting a transformation?”

Sylvia rolled her eyes. “You did get one,” she scoffed. “Not every transformation can be seen in a physical sense, if you know what I mean.”

Her eyes shot down to his crotch and then back up to his face, and she smirked.

Nick’s hand immediately went to his groin, ignoring the fact that he was in front of all the girls. But he couldn’t feel anything different then, either.

“Enough of this, what was the transformation?” Dakota demanded. She was starting to get a little impatient.

“Allow me to display it for you!” Sylvia chirped. “I believe it’s one that you’ll be greatly appreciative of, my boy. Especially given recent… shortcomings.”

Nick had no idea what she meant by that. Sylvia tapped her cane across the mirror and it shattered into shards of energy, which reformed into a black screen hovering over the banquet hall. His new transformation was displayed on the screen.

• Skeleton Key: The Master’s penis will be able to perfectly satisfy whatever woman he’s with. It will change size and shape while entering a vagina in order to give and receive the best pleasure possible for both parties.

“Wait… that’s it?” Nick was stunned.

“Hey, that’s not bad at all!” Rose brightened up. With a transformation like that, her apprehension of sleeping with Nick vanished completely. At least in a physical sense.

Dawn’s jaw dropped.

“So wait, what you’re saying is that… my penis is going to change size now?” Nick wasn’t quite sure how he felt about that. He was a guy after all. But as far as transformations go, he figured there could be a lot worse ones he could have gotten.

“Essentially, yes,” Sylvia said, nodding. “Your penis is now specially-crafted to be able to provide any woman you sleep with the best pleasure possible, as well as you. It will now reshape itself to fit her vagina perfectly. Of course, it’s not perfect; there will still be the little inconveniences that come when a girl loses her precious virginity. But once she gets used to it? Look out! She’s gonna be feeling it all night long!”

Nick tried to ignore her vulgar words. He sighed in relief. “That’s… not so bad,” he agreed.

“Yes, you lucked out, Nick!” Sylvia clapped her hands together. “The audience saw fit to grant you one of the better transformations, not just for you, but for all the girls in your harem! It seems like they’re excited to see you give the girls as much pleasure as possible!”

She glanced at Kim and Mary. “And maybe with the knowledge that sex will now feel amazing, some of our more **** virgins might be willing to give it a go?”

Kim turned red and Mary froze.

In the meantime, Dakota was sulking. She slumped back in her chair with a scowl on her face and crossed her arms over her chest.

It wasn’t fair. Her body had already been designed to give and receive the most pleasure for the both of them. With this transformation, it was as if the other girls had stolen her biggest advantage.

“So who was it though?” Gina blurted out. “Who gave him that transformation? It wasn’t mine, but I really like it.”

“Th-The transformations are anonymous,” Dawn pointed out. “So it doesn’t matter who it was!” But her flustered appearance wasn’t fooling anyone.

Gina smirked. “…It was you, wasn’t it?”

Dawn’s ears flared up and her tail stood up straight behind her as a tremor shot through her body. That was enough of an answer. But she slumped down and nodded sheepishly.

“…Yeah. That one was mine,” she admitted. Her hand trailed towards the ache in her crotch, still feeling a little unpleasant after her debacle a few nights ago. “I just thought that, well… since my body wasn’t suited for his, then…”

“Dawn, you didn’t have to do that!” Nick protested. “I told you, I was fine with it!”

“But I wasn’t!” Dawn narrowed her eyes, tightening her lips into a thin line. “That night, the way it felt, knowing I wasn’t good enough to satisfy you, that I couldn’t even… do those things… it was humiliating and painful, and I just thought… if I never have to go through that again, then…”

“Dawn…” Nick’s face softened at the sadness in Dawn’s eyes.

“Well, it seems like the audience agreed with you my girl,” Sylvia said, nodding along. “They really didn’t like the pain you were in, not being able to have sex. So they voted for that one in droves, hoping to help you.”

Dawn brightened up a little when she heard that.

“…Mine was a lot more fun though.” Gina could tell that the mood was getting sappy and complicated, so she smashed it with a hammer. “I wanted to turn Nick into a super alpha chad who would dom me so perfectly…”

She sighed wistfully and Nick felt a shiver go down his spine. He was glad that one didn’t win.

“Feh,” Rose rolled her eyes. “I wanted to add a little more romance into the game with my transformation suggestion, but alas. I’m more than happy with this one as well.” She batted her eyelashes at him.

“I proposed a transformation that would get Nick in shape,” Dani said. “I’m not exactly a big fan of cheating your way into a muscular physique, but it was like the only thing I could think of.” She shrugged her shoulders. “After all, it’s not like I was gonna turn you into a girl. And I can’t exactly get worked up thinking of transformations for a guy, so… I just figured I’d give you something that would help.”

“Mmm, I would have liked that one as well,” Rose tittered.

Nick also probably wouldn’t have minded getting in good shape.

“Cuddles.” Mimi said, and that was all. She turned to Carly and tugged on one of her poofy sleeves.

“O-Oh, mine?” Carly blushed a little. Nick wasn’t used to seeing her get embarrassed.

“Yeah, come on, Carly, what was yours?” Dani asked.

“I think that’s enough!” Mary exclaimed. Her face was as red as it had ever been. “Th-Th-These are s-supposed to be private, after all! And if everyone tells theirs, that will ruin the point!”

“I agree!” Kim nodded her head vigorously. Her cheeks were flushed as well. “These were written in private, we shouldn’t be pressuring one another to tell what we wrote!”

That made Nick incredibly curious about what those two had proposed. But without a list of the possible transformations he couldn’t be sure.

“I also don’t want to share mine,” Carly admitted, turning even redder. “It was a very personal transformation, so…”

“Ah, okay then,” Dani nodded. “We should probably stop pestering everybody then.”

“Oh, foo!” Sylvia pouted. She wasn’t allowed to tell anyone who chose what transformation, but she was very much enjoying seeing everyone spill the beans. She ignored the piercing glare of Dakota burning a hole in the back of her skull. “Well in any case, that’s all for today! You’re all free to go!”

She turned to Nick, and then swept her eyes across the room.

“Remember, tomorrow is the third challenge,” she reminded everybody. “And that means another one of you is going to be eliminated. I hope you’ve all been working on cultivating your relationships with one another my girls!”

Nick scowled. They were all starting to get along. He didn’t like the thought that someone else here was going to end up in a similar situation to Holly, or even worse. And he’d have to put up with this every week from now on?

“Oh, I almost forgot.” Sylvia turned to Mimi with a big smile on her face. “Mimi?”

“Hmm?” Mimi stared at her with a blank expression on her face.

“Tonight is your night with the master!” Sylvia informed her. “That means you’ll be sleeping with Nick again! Are you excited?”

“Yes,” Mimi said, nodding. But the blank tone of her voice didn’t make her seem very excited. Sylvia ignored that, though.

“Lovely! As for the rest of you, you have some time off! …Well, most of you, anyway.” She turned to Kim, who sighed and rolled her eyes.

“Yeah, I know,” she groaned. “Let’s just get my hours over with today.”

“Works for me!” Sylvia chirped, flicking her cane and banishing Kim to the lingerie department store. The nightmare of the service industry never ends.

And with that, she disappeared, leaving everyone to their own devices.

Nick stared warily at Mimi. Frankly, he wasn’t sure if either of them were ready for tonight. Mimi had grown a lot over the course of the last week, and her body was certainly developed enough to be considered a woman.

But part of him still remembered the childish way she’d acted in the past, and had doubts about whether or not she had really matured enough for the two of them to go all the way. It just seemed gross. And not just because he might end up getting covered in slime.

Surprisingly, Mimi came up to him first.

“We’re spending the night together,” she said bluntly.

“Uh… yeah,” he nodded.

“Would you like to spend the day together, first?” She asked. He was surprised to hear that offer come from her.

“W-Well… if you want to, sure,” Nick said, nodding.

Mimi nodded back. “But I don’t want to.”

And now he was completely lost.

“Huh?”

A smile stretched across Mimi’s face as her eyes narrowed playfully, giving Nick a look that reminded him a little bit too much of her mother.

“I want to go on a picnic with Carly and Dani,” she said simply.

“A picnic, well… that sounds nice…” Nick still wasn’t sure where she was going with this.

Mimi leaned in close to his ear so the others couldn’t hear.

“You’re going to want to wait,” she whispered softly. “I promise, it’s going to be worth it.”

She pulled back and smiled coyly at him, and Nick wondered if maybe she wasn’t quite like a child after all.

“I’m actually kind of surprised you wanted to go on a picnic with us, Mimi,” Dani said. The three of them were eating together under the tree by the lake, the same place she and Carly had gone several days ago.

“Yeah, wouldn’t you want to spend time with Nick? I mean, it will help improve you bond with him,” Carly pointed out. Not that she was complaining. Now that the three of them had made up, she wanted nothing more than to spend the entire day with her little slime girl. She still couldn’t quite define the relationship between the two of them yet. It wasn’t a parent and child one though. Now that she was thinking clearly, she didn’t feel the same bond of attachment like she had with her daughter. It almost felt like Mimi was another her, in a way.

Mimi shook her head. She snuggled up against Carly and hugged her. “No. Cuddle Nick later. Cuddle you now.”

“Well, I’m just glad that you know how to cook, Carly,” Dani said, biting into her sandwich. “I mean, even if it’s just sandwiches. This is still better than anything I can make.”

“Yes. Delicious.” Mimi was devouring sandwiches one after another. Carly felt relieved that she’d made so many in preparation for the slime girl’s endless appetite.

“Come on, it’s nothing fancy,” Carly said sheepishly. “Anyone could throw together a few ingredients like this!”

“Not me,” Dani said, shaking her head. “Once I almost burned my parents’ house down just cooking cup noodles.”

Carly and Mimi both stared at her.

“…What? You guys know I’m not one for that girly stuff like cooking,” Dani scoffed.

“Dani, it’s as simple as adding water,” Carly said incredulously. “How do you mess up adding water and then putting it in a microwave?”

“…See, about adding water…”

“I don’t even want to know,” Carly sighed, shaking her head.

“Even I can make cup noodles and I didn’t even have hands a week ago,” Mimi pointed out, earning laughs from the other women.

“I’m glad you came, Mimi,” Dani giggled. She reached over and patted the pale girl on the shoulder, ignoring the sticky sensation left on her fingers. “It’s fun to spend time with the both of you.”

“Because we’re hot,” Mimi bluntly pointed out.

Dani froze. “Wh-What? No, it’s not that!”

Mimi narrowed her eyes. “You have cast lustful gazes towards myself and Carly all day, and you’re telling us that you aren’t thrilled to be on a picnic with two gorgeous women?”

“Why yes, Dani,” Carly said, batting her eyelashes innocently and trying not to smirk. “Is that what you’re telling us?”

Dani was getting flustered. Her face turned red and she scrambled to find something to say. “W-Well, that’s… that is…”

Mimi and Carly burst out laughing in unison. From Dani’s point of view, it was like she was getting teased by a pair of twin sisters.

“H-Hey! It’s not funny!” She exclaimed, her cheeks heating up. “I like you both for who you are, seriously! It’s not just about appearances!”

“We know, Dani, we know,” Carly giggled. “We’re just messing with you. It’s adorable to see someone usually so tough and unflappable get completely teased to ****!”

“Now I know how Nick must have felt, going to school with you,” Dani mumbled.

“This is fun,” Mimi said suddenly. “That’s a new word I’m learning about. ‘Fun’. When something makes you feel all warm in here, that means it’s fun.” She placed her hand over her chest and turned to Carly for confirmation.

“Is that correct?”

“Absolutely,” Carly said, nodding.

“I see.” Mimi nodded thoughtfully. “And is sex fun?”

Dani nearly choked on her sandwich. Carly stared at the slime girl in shock.

“Wh-What?!”

“Sex. Noun. (Chiefly with reference to people) Sexual activity, including specifically sexual intercourse. Synonyms: Sexual intercourse, lovemaking, coitus, fornica-”

Carly shoved a sandwich in her mouth.

“This is all Dawn’s fault,” Dani scowled. “I knew she shouldn’t have given Mimi a dictionary!”

“Mimi, sex is something very special and intimate,” Carly said gently. “I understand that you’re curious about it, but it’s more than just about having fun.”

Mimi stared blankly at Carly as she finished off her sandwich.

“But don’t you just have sex for fun?”

Such an innocent question coming from her own face felt like an accusing dagger jammed into Carly’s heart. She twitched and averted her eyes.

“Y-Yes, well… that’s different…”

“I’m going to be having sex with Nick tonight,” Mimi bluntly informed them both. “I just want to know if it’s going to feel the same way cuddles and eating sandwiches feels.”

The tiniest bit of color touched her pale cheeks. “Like… with you.”

“So that’s why you wanted to spend the day with us?” Dani asked.

Mimi nodded. “Dani… is sex fun for you?”

Another loaded question.

“I-I… honestly…” Dani didn’t have the same issues Carly did with being direct towards Mimi, but this was a bit of a sensitive topic. “…I’ve only had sex a few times.”

“I see. What was it like?” She pressed.

Dani shook her head. “It was with… a few boys, over the years. They were always friends, and had asked me out first. Back then, I hadn’t realized that I… well, you know.”

Mimi stared at her. She didn’t know. Which meant Dani was **** to finish the sentence.

“…Liked girls. I hadn’t realized that I liked girls yet,” Dani admitted, feeling a lot more sheepish than she should have. “See, back then, I just kind of thought that I hadn’t met the right guy yet. That at some point, a guy was going to come along and I’d fall head over heels for him. I was a bit awkward back then, so…”

“Back then?” Carly raised her eyebrow and smirked, earning her a pointed glare from Dani.

“…So I hadn’t worked out how feelings worked, really,” she explained. “So when a guy asked me out freshman year, I didn’t really see a reason NOT to. I figured that we would keep hanging out like we did, cuddle, hold hands, all that stuff, and eventually the feelings would just happen for me. But even when we had sex, it just… never happened. I couldn’t get into it at all, it felt wrong and weird. And he was a nice guy, really! He was great, just like Nick! But… he wasn’t right, you know?”

She didn’t know how much of this was getting through to the slime girl. Mimi just stared at her without blinking. It wouldn’t be strange to mistake her for a marble statue with her pale countenance.

“Anyway, it kept going like that,” Dani sighed. “I kept dating guys, I slept with a few of them, trying to see if there was anything there, but it just never happened. There was no spark. And I started to wonder if I even liked guys at all. Then after high school I went to this art college, and, well… let’s just say I figured out a lot about my sexuality there.”

Those memories still hurt to bring up.

“So you figured out that you liked girls? It wasn’t something you always knew?” Carly had always kind of assumed that lesbians figured out they liked girls very early on. She’d never heard a story like Dani’s before. Then again, Dani could be a bit blockheaded sometimes, so it was possible she really just hadn’t figured her feelings out.

“So you haven’t had sex with a girl yet?” Mimi was killing Dani with these blunt questions! She missed when the slime girl was silent and observant.

Dani turned red and hung her head in shame. “I-I haven’t. By the time I was willing to accept that I was a lesbian, well… I wasn’t in the best place to start a relationship.”

Carly didn’t miss for a second the way the blue-haired girl’s eyes skipped over to her for a moment.

“So sex can be not fun if it’s with the wrong person, then,” Mimi mused.

“That’s right.” Carly lightly held the pale girl’s hand. “Even me, when I have casual sex, it’s not just with any random person. It’s because I know I’m doing it with someone I have a connection with. Now don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing bad about having sex with someone you don’t care about. Sex is, ultimately, just a physical action. As long as you’re enjoying yourself physically, it’s okay if you aren’t feeling anything romantically or emotionally. But I imagine that connecting on a deeper level would feel even better for you.”

“Nick has that transformation to give himself a perfect penis though,” Mimi bluntly pointed out. “And I can reshape the inside of my vagina at will.”

“Err… well, yes, that’s true…” Carly admitted.

“You can do that? Whoa!” Dani was amazed.

Mimi shrugged.

Carly cleared her throat to distract from that. “Listen, Mimi, I’m not going to discourage you from having sex with Nick. He’s a wonderful guy and I’m sure he’ll treat you right. So don’t worry!”

“I know you wouldn’t discourage me,” Mimi said, smiling. “But I want your help.”

Carly blinked. “My… help?”

“Nick still probably sees me as a child,” Mimi explained. “I want you to make him stop doing that.”

“Mimi, I don’t think Carly can really do that,” Dani said, shaking her head.

But Mimi had a plan. She looked deep into Carly’s eyes. “Carly… can you help me be sexy for Nick? So he’ll want to sleep with me?”

Carly’s eyes widened and she felt a tug in her chest. That’s right, my transformation! She was compelled to help Mimi become as sexy as possible.

And with Mimi’s transformation that let her pick up things at an absurdly fast pace, the two of them together might become a real monster.

That brought a smile to Carly’s face.
