Momonga walked into the guild library, surprised at its sheer majestic size while wondering if the books his guildmates deposited inside were still there and if the previously empty tomes now contained some knowledge. But his aim, for now, was not the books in the library.
As a guild master, Momonga could see the position of every guild member inside of Nazarick as long as said guild member allowed him to. Rei was currently seated in the library and Momonga simply couldn't miss this massive opportunity.
Finally seeing Rei sitting on a couch, neck-deep in books, Momonga inwardly grinned as he approached.
"Oya, oya... reading so soon in the morning, are we? And here I thought you would be physically exhausted from your nightly activities." Momonga teased, wondering if his massive grin was visible even on his skeletal face.
Hearing Momonga, Rei slightly jumped and straightened his back before throwing a small glare at Momonga. "And how do you know what I did yesterday night? Are you stalking me now, Momo-chan?"
"Oh, I was just on a small walk in the evening. You know, to appreciate the unpolluted nature. When I returned, I passed by your room. Imagine my shock when I heard Solution Epsilon moaning as if she was in heat and begging for more in a voice that could make even an undead horny." Rei got a vague sense that Momonga narrowed his eye sockets at him, "You slept with her, didn't you?" The small accusation in Momonga's tone was very clear.
Rei groaned and let his head fall back onto the table in front of him, his forehead hitting the hard wood with a small thud. Momonga didn't expect such a reaction. He came to tease Rei a bit. He just wanted to pay him back for suggesting to grope Albedo. Rei, however, seemed quite troubled.
"Something bad happened?" Momonga worriedly asked, sitting down opposite Rei. In Momonga's opinion, this was not how a man who got lucky should act. Something was clearly wrong here. "Don't tell me... she didn't like it?"
Momonga chuckled as he had to duck under a book Rei threw at him.
"I didn't intend to sleep with her, alright!?" Rei looked at Momonga, embarrassedly exclaimed, and released a whiny groan again, letting his head fall into his hands.
"I don't understand." Momonga said after a while of silence.
Rei sighed but decided to elaborate, "Yesterday, Solution offered me a slime bath." He started, "I had no idea she meant bathing me with her own body." Rei's cheeks pinked and Momonga's skeletal jaws widened into a grin. "There was nothing sexual in it though. She made me feel heavenly and now I think that's partly because of her advanced race and one of her job classes." Rei trailed off a bit and Momonga saw that his friend was getting distracted.
He was quite interested in what race and job classes Rei meant so he didn't try to put Rei's thought process back onto the track. Momonga knew Rei was proud of Solution's build but he never revealed much about it. There was no way Momonga would stop Rei from talking about it now when he finally could get some answers.
"Solution has the job of Heavenly Saintess." Rei stated and Momonga's jaw dropped.
Heavenly Saintess was something like his Eclipse job. Eclipse was the highest advancement of the Necromancer class and only the Overlord race could access it. Heavenly Saintess was something only human with a lot of holy jobs or a high-tier angel could access, hence, Momonga's shock.
'Isn't she basically my hard counter!?' Momonga freaked out in his mind.
"In lore, Heavenly Saintess is supposed to be able to make even a demon feel at peace." Rei continued, not noticing Momonga's inner turmoil because of his own state of mind, "In the game, that didn't matter. It was just" Rei switched to a sarcastic tone, "a flavor text." He released a sigh, "But I think that's what she used yesterday on me during the slime bath and I indeed felt as if I was in heaven."
"Wait, wait, wait!" Momonga exclaimed, "How can slime be Heavenly Saintess! Start from there! Explain the impossible!" He urged Rei.
"Ah... you know that I used a Wish Upon the Star to ask developers to create a new race for her, right?" Rei asked and Momonga dumbly nodded, starting to get a better picture of how was this possible. Damn rich pay to win bastards... "Well, Solution's race is called Divine Slime and it allows her access to that class." Rei shrugged. "She is a cleric, after all. That direction was kinda granted, considering her race."
Hearing that, Momonga felt something an undead should not be able to feel. He felt a profound headache impacting his skull like a sledgehammer. High-tier slimes were known for their physical immunity. The developers made damn sure that slimes could not access healing classes though. They were tanky by nature so giving them the ability to self-heal would have been overkill. But now, Momonga found out that not only was Solution a high-tier slime that will definitely have physical damage nullification ability up to a certain point, she also had a job that gave her magical resistance, was classified as a 'holy' or 'divine' creature, if the name of her race was any indication, AND on top of that was a damn cleric.
"You just had to make her unkillable, didn't you?" Momonga dryly stated, wondering what weed did the developers smoke to create a race with so many advantages. Especially when it was requested by a man known for taking a sick pleasure in breaking the game.
Rei sheepishly chuckled, deciding not to reply while thinking, 'If only you knew...' as he averted his gaze. 'I probably shouldn't tell him that it only takes fifteen levels to fully max out that race. He would flip...'
"The problem is... I explicitly asked for her gender to be female and now it came to bite me in the ass." Rei dejectedly spoke while Momonga just raised his nonexistent eyebrow at him.
Slimes were genderless and Momonga knew Rei overreacted a lot when HeroHero gave Solution to him. Momonga was aware that Rei somehow bullied the developers into making a female slime race for Solution. Heck, half of the server knew about that because of how bizarre it was. Nobody had any idea what exactly her class was or did though.
"I was not aware you bat for the other team." Momonga seriously stated, leaning a bit back, "Unfortunately, I won't be able to help you wi-" He ducked under yet another book aimed at his skeletal forehead.
"The problem is the lore of my own race, you bastard!" Rei shouted.
