100x Rebate Sharing System: Retired Incubus Wants to Marry & Have Kids Chapter 138 - Does Viktor know Slime tongue?

"Not. Helping!" Viktor’s hand slapped uselessly against the sli, which jiggled in response but didn’t budge.

The creature seed perfectly content where it was, making happy little chirping sounds as it settled more comfortably onto its new perch.

Bella finally found her voice. "S-Sir Viktor, should I... should I cut it?"

"NO!" Viktor’s shout was imdiate and panicked, even through the sli. "Don’t stab it while it’s on my face!"

"Kyuuu~!"

"Oh gods," Kaida wheezed, tears streaming down her cheeks. "This is—this is karma. This is definitely karma."

Viktor just losed his eyes, he already got water spirit ability where he can stop breath in water for longer...

"...."

"Uaaahh!!! I-it’s not working! Damn... cough! Cough!

The sli suddenly bounced off Viktor’s face with a cheerful ’boing’.

Viktor coughed violently, rolling onto his hands and knees, gasping for air. "That—that wasn’t water! What the hell—"

The translucent purple creature landed a few feet away, wobbling happily.

Now that it wasn’t suffocating him, Viktor could see it clearly—roughly the size of a large lon, perfectly spherical, with two dark spots that might’ve been eyes and tiny goggles perched on top of its gelatinous head.

"kyuu~kyUU~!"

The sli bounced enthusiastically, as if trying to communicate sothing urgent. It hopped toward Viktor, then away, then back again—clearly wanting him to follow.

Viktor wiped his face, still catching his breath. "What is it doing?"

Bella’s ears perked up slightly. She stepped closer, her expression softening as she watched the creature bounce. "It seems... friendly?"

Her lips pursed as she leaned down, reaching out tentatively. "Here, little one..."

The mont her fingers touched it, the sli ’launched’ itself out of her hands like it had been spring-loaded, sailing through the air and landing squarely on Viktor’s leg.

"KyuuUUU~~!"

It rubbed its body against his thigh—or what passed for rubbing when you were a gelatinous blob—nuzzling him like an affectionate cat.

Bella’s ears drooped imdiately, flattening against her silver hair. Her tail went limp.

Viktor glanced between the sli and Bella’s dejected expression. His mouth twitched. "Seems the sli likes , not you, Bella."

Bella’s shoulders sagged. She looked away, her voice barely a whisper. "Of course... even slis don’t..."

"Hey now." Viktor scooped up the bouncing creature, holding it at eye level. The sli wiggled happily in his hands. "Hey, buddy. Why are you making my Bella sad?"

Bella’s head snapped up, her golden eyes widening. "Y-Your...?"

Viktor didn’t seem to notice what he’d said. He held the sli toward Bella. "Stay with her, alright?"

"kYuu..." The sli’s wiggling slowed, as if considering. Then it seed to nod—or at least bob up and down in what might’ve been agreent.

Viktor gently placed the creature in Bella’s arms.

This ti, it didn’t jump away.

Bella’s breath hitched. She looked down at the sli cradled against her chest, then slowly—carefully—pulled it closer. She rubbed her cheek against its cool, smooth surface.

"kyuuu~" it chirped softly, contently.

A small smile tugged at Bella’s lips, the first genuine one since the passage incident.

Viktor straightened, his expression hardening as he scanned the barren landscape. "So... where’s that monster? The one that roared?"

Bella’s smile vanished. Her body went rigid, the sli jiggling in her suddenly tense grip.

The roar.

That sound.

The sa monstrous bellow that had chased them into the cave hours ago—the creature that had nearly killed them, that had left claw marks the size of cart wheels in the earth, that had shattered trees like twigs.

Her eyes darted across the empty field, clutching the sli protectively against her chest. "It... it was here. I heard it. It sounded exactly—"

"KYUU! kyuuKYUU!"

The sli suddenly bounced out of her arms, launching itself onto Bella’s head like a tiny cannonball.

It stood there, wobbling proudly, and produced—sohow—a miniature flag from within its gelatinous body.

The flag waved.

The sli puffed out its chest (or the equivalent of a chest for a blob), tiny pseudopod arms forming to pat itself repeatedly.

"KyUuU-UuU-UUU!"

Viktor blinked. His mouth twitched. "Are you... are you saying ’you’ did it?"

"What?" Kaida, who’d been scanning the horizon with her daggers ready, froze. She turned, glaring at Viktor. "Have you lost your mind? What are you talking about?"

She stomped over—the chain rattling between them—and tapped his forehead hard with two fingers. "How can a ’sli’ be that beast? That thing was massive! This is—"

The sli’s eyes turned red.

Not cute-red. Glowing, dangerous red.

"KYUUUUU—!"

It launched off Bella’s head like a bullet, slamming into Kaida’s face with a wet ’SMACK’ that echoed across the empty field.

"OOF—!"

Kaida toppled backward, arms windmilling. The chain yanked Viktor forward a step before she hit the ground hard, the sli bouncing triumphantly on her chest.

"kyuu~kyuu~" it chirped smugly, then ’boinged’ back onto Viktor’s head, settling there like a crown.

Viktor stared down at Kaida sprawled on the ground. Then he clapped slowly. "Wow. This sli is very useful."

"You ’bastard’," Kaida hissed from the dirt, her eye twitching violently. "You are ’dead’. Do you hear ? ’Dead.’"

"KyUu~?"

The sli suddenly noticed the chain—the glowing purple links connecting Viktor’s wrist to Kaida’s. Its body stiffened, the red glow fading from its eyes as they went wide.

"kyu... kyuuu..."

Its voice dropped to sothing almost mournful. It hopped down from Viktor’s head, bouncing over to where Kaida lay, and crawled beside her.

Kaida turned her head away. "Just go away."

The sli straightened—as much as a blob could straighten—and perford what could only be described as a butler’s bow.

Its gelatinous body bent at a perfect ninety-degree angle.

"kyuu-KYUU... kyu-kyuu-KYU~"

Viktor’s eyebrows shot up. A chuckle escaped before he could stop it.

"What?" Kaida snapped, still lying on the ground. "What is it saying? Tell !"

Viktor grinned, unable to help himself. "Oh, he’s saying... ’Forgive , Third Mistress.’"

Silence.

Bella’s mouth fell open.

Kaida’s face turned bright red. "THIRD?! ’THIRD MISTRESS?!’"

"KYU-kyu-kyuu~" The sli bounced apologetically, its tiny arms clasped together in supplication.

Viktor’s grin widened. "He seems very sincere about it."

"I’m going to kill you both," Kaida muttered, pushing herself upright. "The sli first, then you."

"kyuuu..." The sli deflated slightly, looking genuinely remorseful.

Bella clutched the knife she was still holding, staring at the creature in disbelief. "So... that roar... that was ’you’? But you’re so small and—and cute!"

The sli perked up imdiately at being called cute.

"KYUUU~!" It gave a nod until heard Kaida’s tongue click.

"Tch, forget that little monster and try to find the real danger here; who knows from where that beast will attack?"

The sli’s entire body trembled. Not with fear—with indignation.

"KyUUU-KYUU-KYUUUU!" it shrieked, bouncing up and down so violently it looked like it might explode.

Kaida blinked, taken aback by the sudden outburst. She looked at Viktor, her brow furrowing. "What the hell is it saying now?"

Viktor narrowed his gaze at the sli, then at Kaida. "You really want to know?"

"Yes!"

"It’s calling you an idiot."

Kaida’s eye twitched. "Excuse ?"

"KYUU-kyuu-KYUU!" The sli continued its tirade, waving its tiny pseudopod arms dramatically.

Viktor crossed his arms, his expression flat. "Now it’s saying you’re blind, deaf, and—" He paused, his mouth twitching. "—’offensively stupid for a warrior.’"

"WHAT?!"

Kaida’s face turned scarlet. She lunged toward the sli, but the chain yanked her back mid-step. "You little—! I’m going to squash you into paste!"

"kyuUU~" The sli bounced behind Viktor’s leg, peeking out smugly.

Bella stood frozen, her knife still in hand, watching the absurdity unfold with wide eyes.

Kaida pointed an accusing finger at Viktor. "And you! Stop pissing off as if you are of the sa race, like that thing, to even understand what it says!"
