Irena’s hand paused mid-motion as she looked at the two people before her, her mind momentarily failing to catch up.
“You two… really play pretty wild.”
She held back for a while before finally spitting out this sentence.
Wu Menghan’s cheeks flushed with a faint blush, though her expression remained calm on the surface.
“Irena, can you take a look at Vivi’s condition for me?”
“Ah? You’ve met before?”
She blurted out the words subconsciously, and both Vivi and Irena were startled.
Irena quickly covered her mouth, guiltily avoiding Wu Menghan’s gaze.
Vivi’s eyes widened, a trace of pleading showing in them.
Only Wu Menghan remained clueless, tilting her head in confusion.
“You two know each other?”
A hint of chill flickered in Wu Menghan’s eyes as she stared at the white-haired girl.
“Ahaha, we…”
Sweat beaded on Irena’s forehead as she stammered, but fortunately her mind worked fast and she immediately came up with an excuse.
“That’s right, I ran into her while taking a walk outside. She looked pretty cute, so we chatted a bit.”
“Hm?”
Wu Menghan was still a bit suspicious. She looked down at the little loli in her arms and removed the cloth, now soaked with saliva.
“Vivi, is what she said true?”
“Cough, ha~ ha~”
Vivi gasped for breath, her weak voice so soft she barely noticed it herself.
She nodded vigorously, and after catching her breath, finally managed to speak.
“I went out yesterday looking for a doll and bumped into this big sister. Thanks to her, I was able to find my doll.”
Hearing this, Wu Menghan remembered—there was indeed such an incident.
But the doubts in her heart hadn’t fully dissipated.
“Where did you run into her?”
Irena opened her mouth, glancing furtively at Vivi and sending her a subtle look.
Vivi got the message and replied softly.
“It was at Sister Wu Menghan’s school.”
“Hm?”
Wu Menghan frowned, thinking it over. She recalled seeing a little slime at school before.
“Irena, tell me, if my brother still had a little memory left, would he come looking for me on his own?”
At these words, the two present were stunned.
Especially Irena, whose eyes darted between Vivi and Wu Menghan, as if to say, “So hopeless, I really can’t help here.”
Vivi’s face also turned awkward, burying her head under the quilt and muttering, “What… are you talking about?”
Now was exactly the time to play dumb—she was just an innocent and harmless little loli.
Irena felt awkward as well. Seeing Vivi looking too scared to speak, she knew it was her turn to put on a show.
“Ahem, in theory, it’s possible.”
Irena straightened her witch hat, her expression suddenly becoming serious.
“If your brother still has some remnants of consciousness, then she’s very likely to use those memories to find you, to get close to you.”
“She might even kill you, since her memories are jumbled. She’ll only feel that you’re familiar, but not know what your real relationship is.”
As she spoke, Irena’s tone grew sorrowful.
She was telling the truth—after all, she’d experienced such things herself.
She had even seen with her own eyes her “father,” who had turned into a slime girl, devour her own mother.
That feeling… was unbearable. It was something she could never forget in this lifetime.
Wu Menghan frowned at this, reluctant to believe it.
That was her brother. Even if he’d become a slime girl, she believed he would never hurt her.
“Sigh, alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. What brought you to me so late at night?”
As she shifted her gaze back to Vivi, Irena noticed the thing Wu Menghan was holding.
Lace-trimmed, and still dripping with saliva.
“This is…?”
Vivi and Wu Menghan followed her gaze and looked over—it was a pair of women’s ()!?
In an instant, Vivi felt like her mind exploded.
Th-that, isn’t that Xiaxiaoling’s…!?
What she’d just had stuffed in her mouth was actually Xiaxiaoling’s…!
The blush spread from her ears down her entire neck.
Only one thought was left spinning in her head.
What I just had in my mouth was Xiaxiaoling’s (), doesn’t that mean I’ve basically eaten…
She even pursed her lips to savor the taste carefully. Hm… it had a faint sweetness, like the scent of violets.
Ugh, I… I’m such a pervert!
Vivi’s eyes were swirling in circles, and she’d completely given up on thinking, her whole body limp in Wu Menghan’s arms like her soul had left her.
Wu Menghan felt a bit awkward, too. She’d been in too much of a hurry to check what she grabbed before shoving it in Vivi’s mouth.
She looked down, wanting to apologize, only to find the little loli was already out of commission, white steam even rising from her head.
“Menghan-jie, maybe you should put her down first?”
Without much hesitation, Wu Menghan set Vivi down on a chair to the side, then solemnly asked, “Irena, I found some traces of magic essence at the teacher’s house.”
As she spoke, Wu Menghan took out a small bottle. It appeared empty, but was actually filled with ice-elemental magic essence.
“I’m a little suspicious of Vivi. Could you take a look?”
She spoke in a low voice, so only the two of them could hear.
Irena turned to glance at Vivi, then took the bottle and examined it carefully.
Hmm, very familiar—like the magic she herself used.
Wait!
“Ahem, Menghan-jie, is it possible that this is my magic? I saw Vivi has high magical talent, so I wanted to teach her some magic before—”
“Ah? Is that so?”
Irena nodded like crazy, sending Vivi an intense look.
With this, she was giving Vivi a perfect excuse to use human magic in front of Wu Menghan in the future.
But Vivi’s mind was still frozen—how could she remember all this?
Irena sighed helplessly and continued explaining to Wu Menghan, “Actually, I was hoping Vivi could help us, so we’d have a better chance against Eno.”
“But she’s still so little…”
“Well, with great power comes great responsibility.”
“Alright, alright, let’s leave it at that. I’ve checked her body—there’s nothing wrong with her.”
Wu Menghan wanted to say more, but Irena deflected every question. Helpless, she could only take Vivi back home.
After they left, Irena wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, feeling like the pressure Wu Menghan gave her tonight was even greater than Eno’s.
She slumped there for a good while before turning her attention back to the research report in her hands.
Her research was related to the memories of slime girls.
Vivi’s appearance had presented her with an opportunity. The current medicine could only suppress Vivi’s instincts, not eradicate them completely.
If she could address the obsession directly, and use some medicine as an aid, perhaps she could awaken those who had been transformed into slime girls—help them remember their true selves.
Meanwhile, in a village on the outskirts of the old city, a pink figure slowly emerged.
Eno felt her strength gradually returning, and a wicked smile curled on her lips.
Now, it was time for this world to witness the terror of the slime girls.
So… let’s start with this little village.
