Suddenly, I Became a Slime Chapter 39: Bewildering Results

I am pleased to present this bonus chapter, which has been made possible thanks to the wonderful review written by Azriiff.

Please enjoy this bonus chapter as a small token of my appreciation for Azriiff’s contribution to my translation work.

The mont of becoming a sli donut riddled with holes was upon .

A familiar face approached as I trembled like jelly. Hearing his voice triggered a hazy mory.

Ah, right.

It was the guy who had made a fuss and fallen over when I spat out so mucus…

But that made all the happier to see him.

Amidst the situation with dark muzzles pointed at … it was a sowhat friendly voice.

I didn’t like how he spoke as if placating a child…

But gazing at the ominous tal rods aid my way naturally instilled humility.

If I spit mucus again here… I’d beco a honeycomb sli…

Still, his words about taking to Han Seori sounded very positive. I guess being next to the powerful really is sweet.

No wonder I went to sleep, ate als, and did everything with her.

So I decided to entrust myself to him… but seeing his awkward smiling face approach was a bit… creepy.

If a grown man smiles sheepishly as he approaches, and it doesn’t feel unpleasant, that would be even stranger.

I had no hobby of embracing dark-skinned n, so I felt the urge to resist, but the image of as a honeycomb sli ca to mind, and I decided to give up.

But then.

Suddenly, sothing like tentacles shot out from my body and wrapped around him.

He admirably didn’t seem startled, but I was very surprised and felt my jelly heart pounding.

I worried they might consider this an attack and blast both of us away.

But he admirably realized I had no intention of attacking and spoke up for .

This was moving, even if he was a man.

Feeling touched, I looked at the suddenly protruding tentacles.

If you could call them tentacles.

Honestly, I think they’re more like an extension of my jelly.

I wondered why they suddenly erged…

I realized my body was slightly separated from the man.

So… maybe the result of not wanting to embrace him created this, I thought.

As for why these tentacles suddenly appeared… well, I’m not really sure, I assu it’s a result of absorbing the statue that seems similar to .

…It really is like a ga.

Gaining abilities from eating things.

Honestly, calling it an ability seems a bit iffy. It’s closer to my jelly, just stretching out. I feel like sothing similar would happen if soone pulled on my body.

Then maybe… did I gain other abilities?

But the ga system didn’t kindly inform of my abilities like systems usually do, so honestly, I was a bit doubtful.

It’s only natural since I don’t know the statue’s abilities in the first place.

anwhile.

Han Seori, equipped with various things, appeared in my sight.

Noticing , she smiled with a hint of bitterness.

I wondered why, but feeling I’d finally reached safety, my jelly felt at peace.

Is this the sweetness of power?

The tentacles stuck to the man’s body, then returned to , and I carefully approached Han Seori and nestled into her arms.

This ti, no tentacles spurted out.

I sensed an absurd gaze from behind, but I didn’t really care.

If you’re jealous… you be Han Seori then.

You’d have to get through her right-hand man first, but that’s impossible.

While nestled in the arms of the powerful, Han Seori seed to be talking to soone in a slightly stiff voice, as if sothing was wrong.

This outing seed a bit tiring for , too, and I felt oddly sleepy.

I couldn’t properly make out what she was saying.

Just as I thought, I was falling asleep.

…I rembered Alice, left behind sowhere.

Brightening my sight, which was trying to darken, I squird while nestled in Han Seori’s arms.

“Hmm… hm?”

Han Seori, lost in thought, turned her gaze to .

It was an odd look as if wondering why the child was acting that way but having succeeded in catching her attention, I felt a bit embarrassed and…

…showed gestures to express Alice.

Like pulling Daesik on my head into my arms, or moving my hands as if playing with a doll… things like that.

Honestly, I thought she could just buy a new doll…

B-but Daesik liked it so much that I had no choice. If Daesik hadn’t always been inside it, I wouldn’t have gone this far.

Anyway!

Understanding my desperate explanation, Han Seori’s stiff face softened into a satisfied smile as she nodded.

…She understood what I ant, right?

I don’t know.

I felt I’d done all I could at this point, so for the first ti since becoming a sli, I gave in to the sleepiness that ca over .

“Oh my!”

“Whoa, isn’t this girl too fond of won?”

“Hmm… well, she has the appearance of a girl… so maybe she’s drawn to similar appearances?”

“*grumble*…”

I heard the man’s grumbling, but it wasn’t enough to disturb my sleep.

Feeling the warmth from Han Seori’s body.

I fell asleep.

Han Seori muttered while looking at the sli girl who really fell asleep in her arms.

“She really fell asleep.”

“Did she not sleep before?”

Han Seori looked at Kim Cheonsu with an expression asking if he really didn’t know and said,

“At least since entering the lab… she never showed signs of falling asleep like this. Maybe… it ans she’s co to fully trust us.”

“…I see.”

Like an older sister caring for her younger sibling, Han Seori patted the sli girl’s back and continued,

“If you’ve gathered everything inside… there should be a doll, so please retrieve that as well.”

“Oh? Uh, understood.”

Hearing the reluctant voice, Han Seori sat down with a much stiffer face than when looking at the sli girl.

‘…The director wasn’t inside, they said.’

Either he wasn’t there originally.

Or did he run away as soon as the incident occurred?

She thought it was one of the two, but Han Seori didn’t seem very worried.

The forr director had left behind very clear evidence of corruption.

From the brief reports, it seed he might not only be expelled but also disposed of.

That was very encouraging… but this also felt a bit… fishy.

The traces were left behind by the presud victims sacrificed to the anomaly.

The evidence of corruption gathered together so cleanly for so reason.

…It didn’t take deep thought to see that a third party had intervened.

And if it wasn’t the forr director going insane…

‘Twilight’s Call.’

It was clearly their doing.

But thinking that way, sothing was odd.

The situation had flowed too favorably for us for it to be their doing.

Maybe… they aid for everyone entering to die, but since there were no threatening situations after entering, that didn’t seem to be it.

In the first place, if you consider them to not act logically… it could just be a whim.

But Han Seori couldn’t shake this uneasy feeling.

“The doll you ntioned and what the agent retrieved earlier, presud to be traces of the anomaly, have been recovered. We seem to have found everything, so we’ll return.”

“Oh, yes. Good work.”

Traces of 7496-KR.

What could that be?

Han Seori felt the soft and fluffy sensation from her body and smiled.

Right, think positively.

The original goal of expelling the director succeeded, and 7496-KR returned safely, so isn’t that good?

…As for Twilight’s Call.

Well.

They weren’t ones she could do anything about right now, so worrying would only be a headache.

Wouldn’t it be more productive to consider how to gain ‘cooperation’ from 7496-KR who could now be considered completely friendly?

…Seeing her nestled in her arms, sleeping like a child, made Han Seori’s heart a bit weak.

But thinking it couldn’t be helped, she returned to the lab with the group.

The returning Han Seori was greeted by the deputy director, Yoo Kangjik, and he took the evidence of the forr director’s corruption, saying he would prepare the procedures, then disappeared with a determined look.

Han Seori watched his back as he left, then turned around.

She wanted to sleep together with 7496-KR, the sli girl, but… she thought it was impossible for now, so Han Seori carefully put the sli girl down in a new isolation room.

As she gently placed the doll the agents had retrieved next to her, the blob of jelly hanging from the sli girl’s head wriggled and entered the doll.

The slightly dirty doll slowly moved closer to the sli girl’s side, then lay down pretending to sleep next to the curled-up sli girl.

It was unclear if it was really asleep, but Han Seori smiled contentedly at the heartwarming scene and left the isolation room.

…Han Seori, deciding she wouldn’t make her do dangerous things without a word anymore, returned to her room to handle the remaining work.

Han Seori, who sohow welcod the morning again, began her day listening to Yoo Kangjik’s excited voice.

And to check on the sli girl, she headed to the isolation room.

‘What should I give her to make her happy….’

Rubbing her bleary eyes, Han Seori entered the isolation room and…

An unexpected sight t her eyes.
