The branches on her head were full of cherry blossoms blooming, and the fluttering petals falling below were undeniably strange no matter how many times you looked at them.

Honestly, the horns growing on the branches on her head made me wonder what was going on.

Meanwhile, watching the two who were moving cautiously from behind, not slipping even once, made me think that they were not just ordinary adventurers.

“Hero? Is it really safe here?”

Maybe it was because it was different from the slimes they had in mind. Honestly, even when I saw it in the game, I didn’t know it would be this terrifying.

The sticky liquid oozing in the dark cave made it look eerie no matter how you looked at it.

Entering a place like this so casually, it was clear that those two were not in their right minds.

“Um… sis? I’ll distract it, so can you attack from behind?”

“Well…? Uh, okay, but how?”

“There are many ways.”

A bit embarrassing, but… there was no other choice.

Two fans tucked into her waist. I didn’t know why they were considered weapons, but I brought them along since it seemed strange not to hold anything.

Taking a deep breath, the squelching sound was getting louder and louder in front of us.

As the so-called heroes seemed more scared than the pitiful god who had just awakened, I wondered if they could read my thoughts.

Then, something slimy rose in front of us.

“Ugh…”

Honestly, the sight was so disgusting that Nero wrinkled her face in disgust. It seemed like that thing was a slime or something.

Rising up with a squelching sound, it looked more like a jelly imitating a human form rather than a slime.

As it stood up, it tilted its head.

“W-what…?”

Was it using a human voice?

Slowly taking on a human form, the jelly that had vaguely resembled a female figure had now completely transformed into a normal woman.

Well, not exactly normal. There couldn’t possibly be a blue woman in this world.

“Why have you come here?”

The hesitant tone of voice at first had now changed to a more ordinary tone. It sounded a bit strange, but at least it wasn’t too bad.

“You two, are behind me. Remember what I said earlier?”

“Oh, yeah…!”

Nero and Doruga silently stepped back. For some reason, that guy was just staring at me without moving.

Up close, she didn’t look too bad. Her figure was nice, and although she seemed a bit creepy at first, her plump body was just my type.

But… right now, what mattered was getting her attention!

I gripped the fans in my hands. Taking a deep breath, I aimed at the slime in front of me. She seemed curious about what I was going to do, just watching silently… honestly, she must be wondering what I was doing with fans in my hands.

‘Skill: Enchanting Dance Activated’

As I silently repeated that in my mind, a strange dance began. The slime in front of my nose was staring at me with wide eyes.

My body was moving on its own, and it felt like someone had programmed this, giving me chills even though I was the one dancing.

This is so creepy! Don’t look at the guy next to you sneakily! Don’t smile while covering your side with the fan as if you’re showing it!

This is really giving me the creeps.

Neglected, seriously neglected. What’s with that slime happily wriggling around while my back is moving on its own?

Ugh…

“Yes, beautiful…”

The slime started approaching me slowly, hesitating. Oh, it seems like it’s enchanted by my appearance. With a heart floating above its head and the words “Enchantment: Seduction” written next to it, it was quite a sight.

But when is the attack coming? I can’t just stand here like this forever! I have no idea how long this will last!

I was about to say something when…

“Wow…”

“You, you’re so… alluring…”

Why are you guys so mesmerized by me?

They just stare at me, like the slime happily wriggling. The sensation of the gooey liquid touching my skin sends shivers down my spine.

Huh…?

The liquid goo squirmed closer to me. Surprisingly, the lukewarm sensation wasn’t too bad…

“Sis! What are you doing right now?”

But why does this guy look like that? He’s blushing so intensely, like he’s about to devour me right away.

“You’re so alluring, sis. Are you doing this on purpose in front of me? Huh?”

What nonsense is this slime spouting? The warm gel slowly seeping into my clothes began to undress me.

“Wait…!”

As the gooey gel touched my skin, a strange sensation started to creep in. It was slightly ticklish yet not entirely unpleasant, making my body feel sluggish.

“It’s okay. Relax and leave your body to me. I’ll make you feel good.”

Oh no! I can’t let myself be devoured by a slime before I’m pitied and left behind!

Next to the number of times being devoured, it will be labeled as “(Pity taken by: Slime)!”

I don’t want to end up like that!

“Sis! Sis!”

As I shouted, Neoru finally snapped out of her trance. Ah… thank goodness. Is she finally back to her senses?

“W-what are you doing, Sis?”

Don’t admire me, you crazy girl! You’re actually enjoying seeing me in this state. Are you out of your mind?

“Sis! I’ll be devoured if you keep this up! I’ll get rid of this slime!”

Finally realizing what might happen to her, Neoru suddenly glared at the slime and raised her sword.

“Oh… That’s not right. You, stay away from Sis!”

She shouted as she charged at the slime. Since I’m the one attracting all the aggro, all she has to do is deal damage now.

“Do you want to see this little kid all messy and sticky?”

The voice of the slime echoed, causing Neoru to freeze in her tracks.

“Sticky…?”

“As your clothes melt away, you’ll see a struggling figure. It’s quite a seductive little thing, isn’t it? Hehe… It won’t be too bad, right?”

“I-is that so…?”

Don’t fall for that nonsense, you crazy girl!

Is that a hero? Are all the heroes dead? This is just unbelievable!

“Sis! Don’t fall for this temptation!”

A hero shouldn’t succumb to the temptation of a slime like this!

But it seems like Neoru interpreted my words in a slightly different way.

“Y-yes… If I give in to this temptation… I’ll lose my… love…”

It seemed like she was saying she couldn’t resist it. It must be a misunderstanding, right?

“Wait… What?”

“Dorga! Wake up!”

Suddenly, Nero kicks Dorga’s leg. With a cute scream, Dorga, who seemed to come to her senses, blushes and quickly turns her head away from the sight in front of her.

“W-what are you doing, Fox Deity? Even if that’s the case, there’s no need to show such a service scene to a believer…”

That crazy bitch!

Is that woman crazy, and is Nero crazier than I thought? The assistant hasn’t even started yet, and if this continues, what am I supposed to do?

“You… you’re dead!”

“Huh? W-wait! I haven’t done anything yet…!”

With a squelch, the slime’s head falls off. Its jelly-like body collapses and turns into ordinary liquid.

“Haa… haa…”

I almost felt sorry for the slime. I almost made a big mistake…

“Your clothes… didn’t melt.”

It must be because the clothes are imbued with divine power, so they won’t be easily damaged. But did you just watch me almost get eaten?

Glancing up, Dorga was reaching out her hand to me.

“Let’s move forward. It would be a shame to end it here, wouldn’t it?”

“It’s not cool to suddenly say something cool out of nowhere.”

“Hmm… sorry.”

She seems to know she’s sorry. Well… she was trying to cast a spell on me in the first place, so it’s natural to be fascinated. But still, even though the slime was going to eat me, it was a bit…

“Don’t cast spells on me next time.”

I took her hand while grumbling. Even though I almost got eaten just now, she’s the one who will devour me later. For now, it’s best to accept it.

“That seems a bit difficult.”

Dorga muttered as she glanced away. Is she really going to keep this up until the end?

“Excuse me… Hero?”

“What?”

“The slimes seem to be quite angry right now.”

The growling noise coming from all directions. For a moment, it felt like the entire cave was trembling.

In the hero party, Dorga raises her sword, and Nero is already aiming her sword forward.

“This is getting out of hand…”

It definitely doesn’t feel like a slime cave, more like being inside someone’s stomach, which honestly gives me chills.
