Victor's mouth twitched as he stared at the bouncing purple blob in front of him.
The slime—if he could even call it that—was giving him what could only be described as a *nod*. Its gelatinous body rippled with the motion, those weird-ass glutinous eyes forming and reforming as it looked at him expectantly.
"Are you some pervert or something?!"
His hand shot out before his brain caught up, pinching the slime's body like he was pulling someone's cheek. The texture was bizarre—soft but resistant, like grabbing a water balloon filled with jelly.
"Kyuu kyuuu!" The slime's voice pitched up, almost like a yelp of pain. It bounced backward, shaking its whole body in frantic denial.
Victor's eye twitched. The chain connecting his wrist to Kaida's rattled as he moved.
"What? You want my tail? To save your wife?"
Nothing about this made sense. The slime kept bouncing, those eyes pleading now, nodding again with desperate enthusiasm.
