A slaved slime?

We were taken to a shack in bad shape. That filthy man put a half-rusted necklace on Limy and tied it with a chain to a makeshift cell wall. After making sure that she couldn’t escape anywhere, he left us there and went to do who knows what. When the effects of the paralysis finally disappeared it was too late to struggle.

—My poor Limy… reduced to a mere merchandise just three days after birth… It’s all my fault… If I don’t...

“Master, nothing is wrong.”

—How could you say that nothing is wrong? It’s awful!

“But master, I don’t…”

—Don’t try to comfort me. I have to take responsibility for my actions. If I had not wanted to come to a city or had not dragged you with me, you wouldn’t be like this.

“Master, I tell you not to worry about this necklace, I am a slime.”

—It doesn’t matter what you are! You are still… That in your hand is the necklace, right?

When I finally noticed, I saw that she had the necklace in her hand as if nothing was happening.

“I’m a slime, to get it off I just need to do this.”

Limmy grabbed her pigtails and yanked her head up, separating it from her body. For someone unaware of her muddy nature it would have been a major scare...

—You should say it sooner! I have been worrying all this time!

“That’s what I was trying to do, master.”

—I must learn to be quiet sometimes… Let’s get out of here at once!

Limy went through the bars and headed for the door. A dog was watching the exit. As soon as it saw us leaving it began to bark as crazy… you can imagine how it ended… I felt a little sorry… Is it considered animal abuse?

Behind the door stretched a dark corridor in the same disrepair as the room. It was not very long and at the end of it there were some stairs. More or less we could already imagine what kind of house we were in, an abandoned building in the suburbs. It couldn't be very big, and at most it would have two floors.

We walked across the corridor, but before the stairs we saw another door. We opened it to take a look at what was inside, and I had Limy close it in less than a second. It was another room transformed into a cell, which was obviously not empty. Four children were held captive inside, just as Limy had been before.

—That man is the worst. Limy, we are going to find him and get the keys of the cell to release those kids.

“Understood, master.”

We went up the stairs. At the end of these we find the ground floor. He had locked us in a damn basement… Although I suppose it was the normal place to improvise a prison.

We randomly started opening doors to see if we could find him somewhere. There was not much to say about those rooms. Aside from a pair that seemed to be prepared for torture, where all kinds of chains and shackles adorned the walls, were simply empty rooms full of dust… but that man was not in them.

—Has he left the house?

“Master, one moment. I feel his presence.”

—Do you feel his presence? Do you have a skill for that? It doesn’t appear in your status...

“It is an innate ability of slimes. We are guided by mana and feel the environment with it. I can easily and precisely notice life forms within ten meters.”

‘Right… I remember reading something similar in the description of the slime… Because of that it attacked a stone…’

We headed straight for a room at the back to the right and went in slamming the door.

Prrrroooop! Prrruifff! Pfffff!

And yes… finally we found him…

“What the hell?”

… sitting on the toilet.

—Really we have to find him shitting?! Close the door and wait for him to finish! I don’t want to watch this scene any longer!

Limy closed the door and waited for the man to finish his job… but he shot out still pulling up his pants and with a piece of paper stuck up his ass… I didn’t hear him pulling the chain of the toilet… although probably there wasn't any chain.

“How did you escape?! How did you take off the necklace?!!”

—Take a moment, Limy, I want to talk to him.

I jumped in front of that man. I wanted so badly to blame him… but I forgot that I couldn’t speak… The result was a simple stone that rolled right in front of his feet.

“What is this? A stone?”

Ignoring me completely, he kicked me back towards Limy. I hit her in the head and bounced next to her… She didn’t flinch at that. For a moment I died of embarrassment, but anger brought me back to my senses.

“Doesn’t matter, I will lock you again.”

He drew a sword and prepared to face what to a third party would be a completely disarmed half-nacked girl.

‘Why does he carry a sword while shitting? Is it normal in this world? Are there dangers in the toilet?!’

[You just proved that there are.]

‘Weeeeell… I guess you are right…’

He ran up to Limy with his sword, swinging it from side to side. I was not worried. That weapon wouldn’t hurt her and he didn’t seem to really want to use it either. Instead of attacking, he grabbed Limy by the collar of her shirt and put the sword to her throat, threatening her.

‘Don’t even think about touching my daughter!’

I shot myself straight into his stomach. The damage was clear, as he released Limy instantly and his face showed clear signs of pain. Still, he did not drop the sword. As it is usually said, a real warrior never drops his sword… although he was not a warrior...

“What the hell?”

I approached again, rolling slowly. I finally got his full attention. He was sweating intensely from the pain and also from what appeared to be something of fear.

“This is a stone? What the hell is wrong with it? What did you have done, girl?”

“He is my master.”

“Your what?!”

Before she finished speaking I shot myself right in his face again. I hit him in the mouth and knocked out a couple of teeth. He stared at me with hatred. Then he attacked with the sword, although dodging it was very easy. I kept hitting his face until it resembled a boxer’s after a fight of more than ten rounds… multiplied by ten.

—I already vented. I will leave him to you, Limy… but don’t use that perverted tentacle! At least no against a man!

“Then I will use a sword like him.”

She put her hand under her skirt, which was nothing more than a piece of the same shirt, and drew a sword from her inner space… Both that guy and I were speechless…

—Did you have to take it out just from there?!

“I can’t get anything out of my clothes.”

—Well, get it out of one arm! Or of the head! Or… Or what do I know! But not from there!

It was one of the swords of those retards. Despite not being a great weapon, I made her keep it in case we needed it.

With calm, Limy approached that man and raised the sword. She used a more than predictable vertical slash. Obviously, that man stopped it easily by raising his sword with both hands. Still, the strength of Limy’s blow pushed his sword out and hit him on the collarbone. Since the sword was not very sharp, it could hardly be considered a scratch.

“Ho… ho… how can a little girl of barely eleven or twelve years old be so strong? What the hell are you?!”

“A blue slime.”

The next thing that happened was no longer suitable for all audiences… Oh, and of course, she ate him…

—It seems that the bodyguard or whatever he was is not in the house… Too bad, I also wanted to have some words with him… Anyway, let’s go find the keys and free the children below.

“Understood, master.”

But as soon as we turned around we heard a loud bang and the sound of something breaking, followed by the footsteps of someone running. The owner was not long in appearing.

‘This is something unexpected…’

It was a woman who appeared to be in her early twenties. Her hair was platinum blonde and her eyes purple. She wore shiny chainmail over a shirt that looked like it was made of leather, just like her pants. She had a bow at her back and behind her waist was a quiver full of arrows along with a small dagger on her right side. Her hand also held a sword that, unlike Limy’s, looked of very good quality. Of course, the most characteristic was her ears.

Although her appearance was similar to that of a human, those ears and eye color were nothing I had seen before in anyone. Moreover, if my knowledge of non-existent beings did not betray me, there was only one species with those characteristic long and pointed ears. I inspected her right away to make sure.

‘Oh, a wild elf has appeared… And is too strong!’

She scanned the room before fixing her gaze on Limy and lower the sword.

“I’m looking for a man who is selling children as slaves. Do you know where he is?”

“Yes.”

The elf stared at Limy for a while in silence, probably expecting her to continue speaking, but Limy did not open the mouth again.

“... And where is he?”

“I ate him.”

“Ah?”
