Chapter 3: Sli Trouble (02)
Originally, slis are creatures without intelligence.
Here, intelligence refers to sothing akin to that of insects—basic instincts for eating and avoiding predators.
With such intelligence, they cannot recognize a master, show affection or hostility to non-similar species, or make complex decisions beyond "eat" or "flee."
But this sli is different...
Boing-boing.
When I poked it with my finger, it dodged slightly and then used protrusions resembling arms (though the shape was so blunt that it was hard to tell) to grab my finger.
It's said that so high-level slis possess a certain level of intelligence...
"Did I pick up a high-level sli?"
Certainly, if it were a normal sli, even if I used it as a personal toy, it would simply dissolve any bodily fluids I released. It wouldn’t have the intelligence to extract them on its own.
In other words, while it could handle the aftermath, it wouldn't independently move to please . Was I just naïve?
"Break ti ends in one minute!!"
Ah, I didn't even get to rest properly or drink water because I was playing with the sli, and now break ti was over.
'Oh, no...!'
Unfortunately, my water bottle was empty, so I couldn’t drink within the remaining minute. Instead, I had to struggle to put the sli into the bottle during that ti.
"Ban! What took you so long to get back?"
"Apologies!"
Luckily, I made it back before getting scolded by the senior knight...
'Ugh... How am I supposed to endure the afternoon training?'
---
Boing-boing.
When I looked closely, the sli seed smaller than when I first found it.
Maybe it had dried out? Worried, I brought it so water, but instead of growing bigger, it curled up defensively, avoiding the water.
'Right... A sli’s weakness is water and fire, isn’t it?'
If fire damages their outer mbrane, their internal contents burst, and their core is destroyed. With water, osmotic pressure shrinks their mbrane, and their contents degrade.
"Hmm... The core seems to have grown a bit, though?"
It was now sitting in my palm, shaped like a small doll, as if trying to mimic a person. When I brought my finger near its head, it reacted like it was kissing .
Boing-boing.
Though, it wasn’t exactly a kiss—more like it was lightly bumping into my finger with its squishy head.
"What are you doing?"
"Oh, just playing with the sli."
When my colleagues saw the sli in my hand, they showed interest but quickly backed away after so thought.
"Ew, gross... If you used that for relief, throw it out! Isn’t it full of, you know, 'that'?"
"No, it’s already digested."
"Ugh! Then that sli is basically made of 'that'! So disgusting..."
They weren’t wrong, and that thought left feeling uneasy.
Although, considering Dane was the one asking to borrow it for his own experints, he had no room to talk.
"Get back in there. I’ll let you out later."
At first, I planned to throw it out like a typical sli, but now that it seed attached to , I couldn’t bring myself to discard it carelessly.
Thinking it might get suffocated, I put it in the water bottle with the lid loosely closed before heading off to wash up and return for evening roll call.
'Of all days, why am I on duty tonight…'
It was my turn for the early night watch, so I geared up lightly, patrolled the area, and spent the rest of my shift chatting with a fellow recruit to pass the ti.
"Ban, I heard you smuggled in a sli."
The rumor had already spread in the training camp.
"It just kind of happened..."
"Does it feel good?"
"Hmm, well, it’s nice when it’s hot. Feels cool…"
"Ah... On the way here, I stepped on slis three tis! Should’ve picked one up."
Who would have thought those common, trash-like slis rolling around everywhere would beco an object of envy?
It just shows how terrifying the recruits’ desires are.
'Ugh... Did I just spread a dangerous culture here?'
The rest of the watch was uneventful, and I returned to my bed, trying to sleep.
"Man... I can’t sleep well after guard duty…"
Unlike Dane, who could sleep instantly after finishing his shift, I’d toss and turn for over an hour.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been releasing stress lately, but I eventually dozed off, my body relaxing bit by bit.
---
Bloop-bloop... Drip.
Boing-boing...
'Ugh... That’s refreshing...'
Even though I was half-asleep, unable to move, I could feel a cool sensation on my lower half.
At first, the coolness was around my abdon, but it soon slid inside my underwear, wrapping around and moving rhythmically.
'Ooh... Oh... This feels nice...'
About a year ago, there was a trend among the trainee knights called lucid dreaming.
What was it? It was said that if you slept while half-awake, you could dream whatever you wanted.
So even speculated among themselves: "Could we summon succubi if we wish for it desperately enough?"
This led 150 trainee knights to attempt it collectively. But naturally, instead of falling asleep, they ended up murmuring strange things or chewing bitter herbs to keep themselves half-awake—behaviors that couldn’t possibly escape the senior knights' notice.
After all their effort, not a single one of them succeeded in having a lucid dream. Instead, they all attended training the next day with swollen eyes from exhaustion—a touching story of camaraderie.
"Is this what they call lucid dreaming?"
I felt a refreshing, pleasant sensation playing with my lower body, and amidst the intense pleasure, I ca to my senses.
"This is dangerous...!"
This is going to co out. I was sure of it.
If I didn’t wake up imdiately and stop it, I’d find myself in a pitiful situation co morning, washing my underwear in secret while the night watch pretended not to notice.
There was nothing I could do about what had already started flowing out. To minimize the damage, I had to block it with my hand as a temporary asure.
"Ugh!"
Forcing my paralyzed body to move, I reached down just before the dam broke, grabbing hold of my lower body.
Boing!
"Huh...?"
What I grabbed wasn’t my lower body but a cold, soft, squishy sli.
"What? How did it get out...?"
The sli, now the size of a small fairy, transford into a humanoid shape and began moving its body on top of my dick
Naturally, since slis lack internal organs or other structures, it was entirely possible for this small version to... well, fully insert itself.
And so...
Squelch.
It absorbed the fluids I released.
"Oh... Oh, this is... weirdly erotic?"
The moonlight reflected off its translucent body, and I could see the fluids I had emitted flowing into it.
When it was just a sli before, I hadn’t thought of it as erotic, but now that it had taken on a vaguely human shape, it was... well, sothing else entirely.
"But hold on, what even is this situation?"
"Did I close the lid of the water bottle too loosely?
Still, it should run away if it escaped... why is it doing this...
Ugh!
While I was struggling, the sli once again inserted its protrusions... no, its hand into its own body and started shaking. I had to desperately block the unexpected second round.
No, no, if I pull out consecutively, I’ll be in big trouble tomorrow...!
Though we are n of pri age, if we don’t rest properly and keep doing this every day, it’s bound to affect our stamina.
Moreover, the training knight process, where we push our bodies to the extre, ans that such stamina consumption is not wise.
Co out... at least...!
I carefully tried to remove the sli from my dick without letting it burst out, but it wasn’t easy.
Drip!
The sli deliberately slipped through my fingers and tried to stick to my leg.
"Ah! No!""
Reluctantly, I got up with the sli still stuck to my lower body, staggering as I pushed it into a water container.
Even as it half-subrged itself into the container, it clung tightly to my glans with its tendrils, as if it particularly enjoyed doing so.
Squeeze...
"Whew..."
Thankfully, the sli took care of cleaning up thoroughly, so there wasn’t much of an issue, but if this kept happening, it was bound to cause problems in the future.
‘Surely it’s not going to do this every night, right?’
If I had to find fault, it would be with myself for using the sli for self-pleasure and even bringing it into the training camp. That was undeniably my biggest mistake. Still, I never expected things to escalate to this extent.
‘Should I try educating it?’
Judging from the fact that it could mimic human behavior to so extent, it was clear that the sli possessed a certain level of intelligence.
If so, perhaps it could learn so self-control with proper training.
For now, I would have to train it like an animal, using a mix of rewards and punishnts.
"Ugh..."
Since I was already awake, there was no point in wasting ti lying around idly.
"Alright, co on out again."
I pulled the sli out of the water container and began an impromptu late-night training session.
---
“Ta-da.”
“Oh...”
Dane proudly held up a bucket containing a large sli.
“What do you think?”
“It’s big.”
If my sli was about the size of a fist, Dane’s sli was nearly as large as a human head.
‘At that size, isn’t it dangerous? It looks like it could be acidic...’
“Hah, you might manage with a smaller one, but I need one this big for myself.”
“Co on, I saw you in the shower. You could manage with a sli the size of a finger.”
“That’s because you haven’t seen it in combat mode.”
Frankly, I didn’t care to see it in action, whether it was big or small. Just thinking about it disgusted , and the mory of accidentally catching sight of it during a shower still made nauseous.
“Anyway... slis are really trending now, huh?”
I didn’t have much room to talk, given that I helped popularize them. But after that outdoor training session, everyone seed to co back with slis of their own.
‘What exactly is going through the heads of the people in this training camp?’
It was understandable that they were pent up after two years of training without seeing a single woman, but still... slis?
“Well, I’m off to wash my sli. You’ll see how great it is soon enough.”
With that, Dane disappeared into a quiet corner with his sli. Imagining what he was about to do, I couldn’t help but gag.
“Ugh...”
Unlike them, I kept my sli as more of a pet than anything else. Of course, it still demanded its share of... attention at night, but after so thorough training, I’d managed to set boundaries. It only asked for it when I permitted it.
Boing boing.
The sli, now sitting on my lap and begging for attention, wobbled playfully as I petted it with my fingers. Just as I was about to settle into my peaceful mont...
“AAAAHHHHHH!!”
Dane’s and the others’ blood-curdling screams echoed throughout the training camp.
