A Viscous Predicament

Witnessing the barrier around her begin to dissipate, Magical Girl Biyu felt the Giant Slime’s bodily fluids surge through the widening fissures, commencing the dissolution of her attire.

“Oh… my… my clothes…”

As her garments progressively vanished, Magical Girl Biyu hastily clutched at her vital areas with both hands, simultaneously scanning her surroundings to confirm no other individuals were present. The individuals Biyu had rescued had long since fled, vanishing beyond her sight, a fact entirely understandable given that their own clothing had similarly succumbed to the slime’s corrosive touch. Lingering on the spot would undoubtedly invite unwanted attention from any number of peculiar individuals.

‘Phew… thank goodness… there’s no one else around… but… without clothes, I feel incredibly shy.’

Given that her chest was more ample than both Akahoshi’s and Youlan’s, Magical Girl Biyu found it considerably more challenging to conceal those generous mounds. All she could manage was to cover the two central crimson buds, leaving the surrounding roseate halos almost entirely exposed. At present, her sole consolation was that this particular slime did not, unlike the erotic manga she had perused, manifest an array of peculiar implements to subject her to various unspeakable acts…

“Ngh-!”

Just as Magical Girl Biyu’s body and nerves began to relax, convinced that no further threats loomed, she suddenly perceived a cool, gentle caress upon her buttocks. The sensation sent a jolt through her, causing her to shudder violently as though struck by lightning.

“W-what was that… surely not…”

Magical Girl Biyu’s mind instantly conjured images of the slimes in her erotic manga, prompting her to swiftly move the hands previously shielding her front to her rear, fearing that a moment of inattention would lead to the slime’s unseen intrusion from behind. Her face flushed crimson, Magical Girl Biyu frantically twisted her head to assess the situation. Yet… there was clearly no peculiar construct or appendage behind her!

As confusion clouded Magical Girl Biyu’s thoughts, she suddenly felt her chest being caressed by something equally bizarre. The sensation… was akin to numerous gelatinous bristles writhing back and forth across the surface of her skin. Moreover… it wasn’t merely her generous mounds, but also her waist, the soles of her feet, and even… even her most intimate sanctuary, that now experienced this strange sensation!

“No… wait… what in the world is happening… Hmm… don’t… don’t touch there…”

Magical Girl Biyu frantically attempted to shield her body, desperate to escape the pervasive influence of this peculiar sensation. Yet… the sensation was as insidious and pervasive as flowing water; despite Magical Girl Biyu’s utmost efforts, she still felt the bizarre “bristles” caressing her skin, and even… she could faintly perceive that brush-like feeling had already begun to explore within her sanctuary…

“Ah… haah… no… stop… if this continues, I’ll become utterly strange!”

“Biyu! What’s happening to you! You look absolutely dreadful!”

Observing Magical Girl Biyu’s crimson face and weakened, almost pliable body, as though she might collapse at any moment, Magical Girl Akahoshi’s steps faltered. A momentary lapse in concentration led to Magical Girl Akahoshi being seized by one of the Giant Slime’s pseudopods and dragged into its viscous interior.

“Guh!” Expecting a powerful impact, Magical Girl Akahoshi had just raised her magic wand defensively, bracing herself for the blow, only to realize… she, too, like Magical Girl Biyu, had been consumed by the Giant Slime.

Unlike Magical Girl Biyu, Akahoshi lacked the protection of a barrier, and thus, upon her ingestion, her clothing rapidly dissolved. In less than ten seconds, her fair and delicate form, exquisitely sculpted and faintly flushed in certain areas, was revealed without reservation. While Akahoshi’s own mounds appeared modest when compared to Magical Girl Biyu’s, they were, in the context of her overall physique, perfectly proportionate, exuding a fresh and vibrant allure.

‘This thing… it merely dissolved my clothes? Damnation… even the grotesque forms summoned by those perverted cadres are perverse! For now… I must devise a way to escape this slime’s interior!’

Magical Girl Akahoshi intended to unleash a ‘Crimson Impact’ to carve a sizable escape route within the slime, but just as she prepared to intone the spell’s name, a startling realization struck her. For some inexplicable reason, she found herself unable to channel the magical energy within her as desired, rendering her unable to cast spells. Moreover… her magic… appeared to be actively siphoned away by the slime!

“This thing… it’s actually absorbing my magic? No… I must escape immediately! Wait! Biyu!”

Upon this realization, Magical Girl Akahoshi, heedless of her naked state, swiftly began to swim towards Magical Girl Biyu’s location. By this point, Biyu, her body’s every corner subjected to that unsettling sensation, had long since abandoned the effort to conceal herself, allowing her form to drift languidly within the slime. Her eyes were glazed, and from her lips emanated a continuous stream of sweet, soft gasps, while the deep flush across her face caused Akahoshi’s thoughts to wander uncontrollably down peculiar paths.

Magical Girl Akahoshi vigorously shook her head, dispelling all those unwelcome thoughts.

“Biyu! Hold on! I’m almost there—” Magical Girl Akahoshi cried out, striving to rouse Magical Girl Biyu’s awareness. However, before she could complete her sentence, she too was assailed by that peculiar “bristle” sensation, causing her entire body to shudder involuntarily as a soft, instinctive gasp escaped her lips.

‘Wait… what… what is this sensation! It feels as if… as if something is touching me!’

Magical Girl Akahoshi froze, her movements halting as she scanned her surroundings. Yet… she could discern no strange presence; all that met her gaze was the ceaseless expanse of blue liquid.

‘What’s happening… could this merely be my imagination?’

Just as Magical Girl Akahoshi dismissed it as a mere figment of her imagination and prepared to swim towards Biyu, that peculiar tactile sensation abruptly manifested across her entire body. And… what’s more… she could distinctly feel as if an invisible hand was playfully teasing her crimson buds.

‘But… there’s clearly nothing else visible here! Only… only vast quantities of blue liquid…’

It was then that Magical Girl Akahoshi was struck by a sudden, horrifying realization: the blue liquids enveloping both her and Magical Girl Biyu were not inanimate substances, but the very living tissues of the slime itself! Enveloped by such an organism… these tissues could do anything they desired to them, without needing to manifest any distinct forms whatsoever!

‘Damn it… if this continues, my body… my body truly will become strange!’

She could feel it… the slime’s tissues caressing her neck, her collarbone… and even…

Gradually, the girl’s consciousness began to blur, her ears registering only the soft, undulating whispers of ebb and flow, seemingly the sound of the slime’s internal fluids shifting. Originally, the Giant Slime’s immense form had been diminished by Magical Girl Akahoshi to a height of merely six stories. However, having absorbed both her and Biyu’s magical energy, its colossal body began to recover with alarming speed, not only rapidly approaching its initial size but even showing a tendency to grow beyond it.

Perhaps sensing that Magical Girl Akahoshi and Magical Girl Biyu were now successfully at its mercy, the slime resumed its advance, seeking out other potential targets.

“Squelch.”

“Squelch.”

The Giant Slime lumbered down the street, its massive, wet form squelching with each step, intent on finding more companions for the two magical girls now trapped within it. However, before it could take but a few more steps, a flash of cold light bisected its colossal form at the waist.

The Giant Slime’s body cleaved into two, collapsing onto the ground. Yet, even in this state, Magical Girl Akahoshi and Magical Girl Biyu remained captive within its depths. This, however, proved to be no significant obstacle, for a series of subsequent slashes swiftly reduced it to a myriad of slime chunks, from which Magical Girl Akahoshi and Magical Girl Biyu were precisely extricated.

As for their rescuer… the frost crystallizing along the slime’s severed edges offered a clear and chilling answer.

“Ugh… why are all these grotesque forms conjured by the wicked cadres so utterly perverse lately? They’re truly shameless!”

Taratas and Minita caught Akahoshi and Biyu as they were extricated by Magical Girl Youlan. Then, summoning every ounce of their strength, their diminutive forms struggled to hoist Akahoshi and Biyu into a vacant residential dwelling.

“Phew, phew… this adult is utterly exhausted… why are they so heavy… could it be because they’re so well-developed?”

After gently lowering the two magical girls to the ground, Taratas gulped for air, her chest heaving. After all, her current physique was exceedingly small, and attempting to lift magical girls who outweighed her by a factor of ten or twenty had truly tested her limits.

“Phew… Minita, quickly retrieve their magic wands for— Huh? Huh?!!! What kind of expressions are they making?!”
