[You died.]
[...]
[You chose to Load Save.]
[You planned to leave. But you found Miss Slime had realized what you were doing and came down the stairs.]
[Behind you is the ice you need; maybe this time you can defeat her.]
[You decided to...]
[Important Choice Triggered.]
[Option 1: Go for it; it's time to teach her a lesson!]
[Option 2: Tell her you just accidentally got lost.]
[Engaging Free Simulation.]
Silas's Regular Simulation attempts were gone.
[You chose Free Simulation.]
As soon as his vision was restored, Silas felt the bone-chilling cold behind him.
"Told you, Mama, doesn't let others come down."
Miss Slime stood at the top of the stairs.
"You, are a bad person?"
"No, actually there's a reason for this."
Silas didn't want to fight this time. After all, he already knew the reason Miss Slime lost control was because Melina died.
But she obviously only wanted to obey her mother's words and kill Silas.
"..."
Soon, the exhausted Miss Slime, who sent herself over with slime, was subdued by Silas again.
"Mama, comes back, will kill you."
"What if she can't come back?"
"Can't, come back?"
"Someone is treating Madam Melina as a bad person like you are doing to me, and wants to kill her. If she is killed, she can't come back. She won't want you anymore."
"Mama, likes, me, most. Won't, not want. Mama, not bad person, you, are."
"How about this, I'll go to Madam Melina with you personally. It won't be too late to act when your mom says she absolutely must kill me, right?"
"..."
It shouldn't be a dead end, right?
Madam Melina isn't dead yet. If she dies no matter what... then I really have to restart the simulation.
In the noble's mansion.
"Madam Melina, can't you sell a bit more?"
"Hehe, I only have a little bit. You should know, ice depends purely on nature."
"..."
The banquet made Melina uncomfortable.
Full of fat-brained men. Occasionally, greedy gazes swept over.
If she didn't need to exchange ice for money to make a comprehensive plan... she wanted to kill everyone present.
Endure.
Once her daughter was cured and the money was collected. Anyone who dared to say another word would be silenced forever.
Speaking of which, it was strange.
Originally, because she hated men, she had given up the idea of collecting semen and planned to replace it with something else. But coincidentally, she found a man who wasn't so disgusting when recruiting servants.
She originally just planned to give it a try, pinching her nose to collect semen, hoping to speed up the progress.
Silently.
Melina gulped down a mouthful of ale.
That's enough.
Whether ejaculating on her face or chest. That disgusting female instinct... Collect it all for the last time today. Then throw him into the sea. Next, she just needed to stay in the basement and wait to cure her daughter.
She didn't want to recall the feeling of pleasure her body felt because of Silas's touch. That completely went against her principles.
A slightly tipsy Melina left the banquet.
Soon she encountered someone wearing monastic robes but clearly not a native of the island.
"Madam Melina, long time no see."
"Last time we met was at the monastery on the Western Continent. Back then, you were just a little girl. Oh... I remember you admired that priest who was academically brilliant but had no interest in women, as his assistant?"
"..."
Melina clenched her teeth, her face turning cold. "I should have replied to the Church."
"You mean those perfunctory letters pretending you were working hard?"
The Cardinal Bishop smiled. "Unfortunately, whether you were really working hard or just pretending. Those big shots are already very dissatisfied. Say, Melina? Just kill her; let me receive the slime. Take it back directly for more professional people to study."
"!"
Melina didn't hesitate to take out the flintlock from her pocket.
Bang!
But after a few lead bullets, the werewolf Bishop only had two more holes in his clothes. After the bullets went in, he casually dug them out with his hand.
"Madam Melina, originally, I intended to give you time to say goodbye to your daughter and leave a whole corpse. After all, you and your husband once made many outstanding contributions to the Church."
"Don't mention that person to me! I never had a husband!"
"Oh, right. I heard... that scholar never looked at you directly until the end. So pitiful. You, who became depraved and betrayed the Church because of this, seem even more pitiful. Speak, where is the slime?"
Bang.
The response to the Bishop was the last lead bullet.
"Forget it, even if Madam Melina doesn't say... you should know I can find it."
The werewolf Bishop's nose became sharp and hooked.
With a speed impossible for a normal person to react to, he arrived in front of Melina. Kicked her in the lower abdomen.
"..."
Melina already knew.
She would definitely die.
Unacceptable.
How could she die just one step away? Her daughter was about to be cured. She even pinched her nose to collect semen.
"For unruly traitors, you should know the Church has many regulations for punishment."
"Let me think, Article 109."
The Bishop grabbed Melina by the hair and pulled her up. casually asking the somewhat frightened monk beside him, "What is Article 109?"
"R-Replying to the Cardinal Archbishop... it's the fish punishment."
"Ah, what a coincidence. This place happens to be by the sea. See, for those who betray the Lord, the Lord will send down the most appropriate and painful punishment according to the place."
"..."
Melina was dragged by her hair like this.
Tears spilled from her eyes. Unwilling, angry.
These scums, what are they going to turn my daughter into? A weapon no different from those inferior living corpses?
That ugly future.
"..."
The Cardinal Bishop stopped. Because two figures appeared in front of him.
Melina saw them too.
She didn't understand why her daughter was standing with the man who had taken the special medicine. Even if her academic skills weren't perfect, he should have run away after sobering up.
"Mama!"
"Oh. Interesting, you really raised this monster as a daughter?"
The Cardinal Archbishop didn't panic, taking out a box specially made to deal with slime from his pocket, which would freeze into ice when thrown.
"Go! Don't stay here!!!"
Melina knew very well that the Church people wouldn't be fools coming empty-handed.
Her daughter's ability was indeed strong, but her weakness was fear of cold.
If her daughter could still escape... even if she couldn't be cured, at least she wouldn't fall into the hands of the Church.
Whoosh!
Seeing the ice fog explode from the box thrown by the Cardinal Bishop, Melina truly despaired.
"..."
Miss Slime was indeed significantly affected. The slime secreted under her feet became difficult to move.
But Silas, with a layer of frost on his body after the ice fog dispersed, was almost unaffected.
A moment later.
"Madam. Are you alright?"
"You..."
The pain from Melina's hair being pulled was still there. But seeing the man in front of her extending a hand even after a chunk of flesh was gouged out of his ribs. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
"Mama!"
Her daughter was still alive. Throwing herself into her arms.
Melina thought a lot.
For example, how could a butler recruited just to collect semen because he was the only one not so disgusting have such skills?
But if he were also from the Church, he couldn't casually kill an Archbishop. Now was also a good opportunity to take her and her daughter away.
Then, why?
