Ch227: The Slime Lounge
The Slime Lounge
September 7th
Today I returned home earlier than usual, this time I came back with Maria instead of Tamamo and Haru, as classes were ending later, and with my current limit of 6 hours before going back to being a slime girl, I decided just to say that I didn't feel well and go home. Which by the way, speaking of my new state as a creature made entirely of water, while I really appreciate my current beautiful form, it also comes with the disadvantage that I must learn about my own body, in this case trying to mold my body into something with at least a vaguely human form.
"Are you sure about this Cesar?"
"We don't have much time, mom will be mad if too many customers come in and we're late."
"Yeah, no problem, I'll just be a moment."
"A quick test" I said sitting in the tub.
"Okay, so what do you want me to do?"
"It's simple, I'm going to become transparent."
"I'm going to look like one of those normal slimes."
"What I want you to do is put your hand inside me, take my core, and pull it out."
"Don't give it back to me until a while later."
"I want to see how hard it is to control my body without his help."
"All right, fine."
"But are you sure, I mean, you haven't had much time being a slime girl yet?"
"Yeah, I just want to see how hard it is."
"If it's gonna be a long term goal, I'd better start sooner, right?"
"Ok, I'm ready."
"All right, here I go"
I concentrate for a moment, I think about how I want my body to be transparent and I see how in seconds my body begins to lose its color to replace it with the blue liquid that formed all that I was now. My appearance was almost identical to Momo's, I could see in the mirror that even my eyes had lost their color and became transparent too, I raised my hand to make a sign to my sister Maria and she inserted her hand in my chest, I could feel how she moved it inside my body, it was a very strange sensation, she has to search have to look for the other crystal that is not the Codex inside me, but without any more problems, she managed to take my core and pulled it out of me completely.
Almost immediately I felt my body begin to melt rapidly, as if collapsing under its own weight, my fingers disappeared and my hands fell off, my head fell in the middle of my breasts until it disappeared, in a short time I had become a pool of water in the bathtub, with no possible way to distinguish which part had been my head or my hands. Somehow I can notice Maria looking down on me from above, using her other hand she inserts one of her fingers inside me.
"Funny, even though you're just water, you're still warm."
"Not hot like a human, more like barely lukewarm water."
"Aren't you supposed to be cold? You are a cold thing now aren't you?"
"Is it because maybe you had a more or less human form a moment ago?"
"Oh! I know, it's because of the sun in the window."
"Tell me, are you uncomfortable with the warmth of the sun?"
Not really, although I am aware that now my body is cold because after all I was made of water, I only felt the warmth of being under the sun, but not something unpleasant that would hurt me, but when I tried to share this information with my sister I noticed something new, I could not communicate with her in any way, the problem was obvious, I had no mouth to begin with.
"Hey, everything okay in there?"
"There's nothing bad going on, is there?"
Although I can clearly see Maria and how she is still playing with my slime, probably from her side she only sees me as a bit of inert goo.
"Hey, I guess if you're not answering me it's because you're missing a mouth, right?"
"Why don't you try to form one or a hand to give a sign for now?"
"...."
"And if you can't, well, then I'll wait five more minutes before I give you back your core."
"Don't worry, I'll stay here the whole time, I'm not going anywhere!"
Following her idea, I thought it would be best to start by trying to create something simple like a hand. Let's see, a hand is simple, isn't it? it has five fingers and a central part. Ok, imagine a hand, an extended hand, it doesn't have to be perfect, if something comes out it should be enough for now.
"Hey, are you trying to do something?"
"I see some water moving in the center."
"But only like a slight wave, maybe it's the wind, or is it you?"
"Well, I think it must be you because that wave won't go away from there."
Come on, think solid things!
Solid things! Solid things!
A hand! And make it hard!
Come on, hard!
*Bloop*
"!!!!!"
"Elise!"
"What the fuck!"
"Agh! You covered me with your slime!"
"What were you trying to do?"
Oops, looks like that came out wrong. But how did it get blown up like that? I really didn't think that would happen.
"What do I do with it now?"
"I take it off obviously, but, do you need this slime back or can you produce it again?"
(Don't give it back to me!)
(That already touched your face! I don't want it back!)
(How disgusting!)
As much as I tried later there was no progress, my sister, seeing that nothing else happened apart from the little miss, put my core back into the water, but I did not immediately regain my shape, instead I had to concentrate for a moment and little by little I could notice how the water moved around to create the ideal body I wanted, once again I had a beautiful and erotic figure that I liked so much. Since there was little time left I put on my Maid outfit and walked with my sister to work at the White Moon Cafeteria.
When I arrived my mother was already there, so she greeted us back as we entered.
"Welcome back"
"By the way, why you came dressed Elise?"
"I thought you'd come naked, after all, your emphasis on wanting to be with nothing in that dream."
"Shut up, What happened there, stays there."
"I don't go around telling everyone your real age."
"And while I do want to be naked with only my own slime covering me, I'm not that stupid either."
"I don't want to get arrested"
"Well, from here to the house is a short distance, I don't think there's much of a problem."
"You could well walk that distance naked if you want to"
"That way you could slowly build up the desire to increase the distance."
"What about the whole public street?"
"There are children passing by."
"...."
"I can't believe I'm having this conversation with my own mother."
"Well, after all that's happened, I just want to say that you have my support in everything."
"No matter how weird your tastes are or your liking to be nude with that body."
"After all, I already see the glass girl as normal, one more won't make any difference."
Ignoring my mother I got to work, there were still few customers so I had time to clean the tables and sweep the place. Then it seems that Levia needed to go to the bathroom so I had to take her out of the fish tank and carry her, she needed help even when she was doing her needs, so I had to stay too, but it was something we were all used to, so I checked my phone while she was doing her thing when she finished she told me, I helped her to clean the area she couldn't reach and then I put her back to her fish tank. After that Saeko asked me for help in the kitchen because it seemed that Momo by mistake had burned her hand by touching an oven at maximum temperature and as she is made of glass she needs a lot of time to cool down, I was more surprised as it didn't seem to hurt her much although her hand made a paper catch fire because of the temperature.
Gradually the store began to fill more and more customers, now it was my turn to serve customers, although there were some who were going to the cashier to make their orders, there were also groups that were here for the entertainment that are served by monster girls. In theory, my character is the slime girl tired of working, I had nothing to do because that way I had an excuse to work less and because I felt personally identified, or because it allows me directly not to act. Taking notes on their orders and then remembering which table to take them, initially was not so difficult, but when the cafeteria gets more and more crowded, the urgency to quickly attend people and tables to remember increases the difficulty. From time to time I do some "trick" trying to justify my character, usually bringing a drink by holding it using my slime hands or using them to operate the tablet with the prices. People were really impressed with the quality of my outfit, calling me a cosplay genius, some even asked me if I did any work at events but I told them that I actually liked the coffee shop. Several other people asked me for photos, which I agreed to take because in Japan there is a rule that if you want to take a photo with the maid employees of restaurants you must pay a fee and only if they accept. This was very useful for me to save money to fulfill my dream of having my own car workshop.
It was quite a busy time, so much so that by the time I realized, Haru had already arrived and Tamamo had already been serving for a while, I noticed her when I almost hit her trying to get into the kitchen while she was leaving. The store was full steam ahead for several hours until after a while it finally started to empty out a bit. Getting into a bit of character she left the others to tend to the clients and I went back to the counter to spend some time talking to Haru. She seemed interested in knowing if I had always been a slime in the first place that I thought I was a fox girl all the time, I just said yes to everything, she would see what story about me she made up on her own. When Inspector Yamamoto arrived he seemed to be somehow aware of me, it seemed that both Haru and my mother had told him about my change, but he was also confused because each one gave him a completely different story, I just told him that my mother's was the right one since it was probably the best elaborated one.
The other girls were doing a good job, Tamamo was the cheerful and friendly fox girl, since she was one of the ones who had more time she was also the most known, many customers came to see her and she even remembered the name of most of them, I will not lie, some interactions that some men had with her did not please me at all. But somehow, as if she read my mind she asked them kindly to stop, trying to put some pretty credible excuse, it's not like I don't believe in her, on the contrary, I know firsthand how loyal the Goddess was, she had my total trust, but it was interesting to see that she knew when something wasn't right out of her cheerful and close way of being.
Lisa the succubus on the other hand, well, problems were all there was, supposedly on paper she said she was a Tsundere, but she did nothing to hide her preference to eradicate men, but she still had her small fan base that she personally detested. But she was also appreciated by the other girls, as she was the one who was always attentive to ensure that there was no harassment from customers to the maids, even intervening when a group of women were bothering me, she was not afraid to anger others with her strong but fair personality.
Levia on the other hand did not cater to customers but did her best to entertain her audience as expected of a mermaid. She loved knowing that she now had people to whom she could share her songs without any problems or negative repercussions, she was happy to know that she had achieved what she had always wanted, to be appreciated for her singing rather than her mermaid powers. Most of the songs were originals that she composed herself, which added to the immensity of the world of fantasy she tried to bring to our theme cafe, but mainly because she really loved to create her own music, she would also occasionally meet with our daughters to compose songs with them as a way to enhance her creativity. Sometimes clients would ask her to sing a popular song, so she would also try to keep up with the music industry, usually talking to Maria who was also another one who loved the music world. She was also a hit with the kids, who loved to play when she was swimming underwater, so we made some arrangements to integrate simple toys so that both could interact, the main one was the tic tac toe, which the customers could use the X's, while Levia had the O's to try to win, if the kids beat her she would give them a little shell as a reward, which was a nice touch.
When the sun went down and the street lamps started to light up the coffee shop had finally returned to its normal level of customers, which were quite few, which the best customers took advantage of, because both they and we qualified as the "natural state" of the coffee shop, a nice and calm place, created mainly to relax after what was happening in a hectic life. My mother always changed the soundtrack of the place, from nature sounds to jazz, making the place even more peaceful to relax the soul, it was moments like these that made me remember why I had to go through so much trouble to have this beautiful peace. Or at least that was the idea, but by surprise, the doorbell rang indicating a new customer, a rather particular one too.
