"Chu♡ chu♡ slurp♡"
After confirming that she was stronger than Flo, this pink-haired little loli treated Flo like a new toy—hugging her, kissing her, and constantly sucking onto Flo's cheeks, stretching them out before suddenly letting go. Her hands and feet weren't idle either, roaming all over Flo's body.
And since she was a slime girl, every spot she touched on Flo was now coated in slippery slime residue.
"Flo-neechan is so cute~ Could it be that all tentacle girls are such gorgeous creatures? Slurp♡"
"Mmm… eep… kyaa…"
Though Flo kept making soft, flustered noises, she was actually deep in thought, plotting her escape.
Flo: …Ah! Illyce's knife!
She suddenly remembered the small knife she'd used to cut the ropes when escaping from Illyce's house earlier that day. She'd brought it along for self-defense, and it should still be in the clothes she'd taken off.
While the slime loli was busy kissing her, Flo quietly reached for the knife and stabbed it hard into the pink-haired girl's butt.
"Ugyaaah!" The slime loli cried out in surprise and instinctively let go of Flo.
Flo immediately grabbed the knife and dashed toward the inn room's door—but her eyes widened in shock.
"The door lock is…?!"
The doorknob was completely covered in slime, making it impossible for Flo to open.
"That's so mean of you, Flo-neechan…" The slime loli pouted, stood up, and started advancing toward Flo again.
"N-no! Don't come any closer!" Flo raised the knife, trying to scare her off.
But her threat was as ineffective as a house kitten hissing at its owner—it only made the other party even more excited.
Although stabbed, the slime girl didn't bleed. Slimes don't have blood, after all, and her wound instantly healed.
"I was only planning to play with you a bit and leave… But since Flo-neechan insists on making things unpleasant for both of us, I guess I'll just have to *train* you properly."
"Train?"
"Yeah! Turn Flo-neechan into my little—" The pink-haired loli paused deliberately, smirking mischievously.
"Little what…?" Flo trembled.
"I dunno~ What do you think it'll be? Let's explore that together, nee-chan~"
With that, she stepped even closer.
"Stay back! I'm warning you!" Flo shouted.
"And what exactly are you going to do about it? You can't even use magic."
She'd seen it clearly on Flo's ID card earlier: [Magic Affinity: None]. That's how she knew Flo was powerless.
"I've dealt with tentacle girls before, but they were all super strong! A tiny slime like me could never handle them… But you're different, Flo-neechan—you have no magic, you're weak, so what exactly are you going to threaten me with?"
The more she talked, the more excited she became, clearly enjoying teasing Flo.
But what she didn't realize was that the white-haired, heterochromatic tentacle girl standing before her had already made up her mind.
"I'm warning you for the last time—if you take one more step closer, you won't like what happens next." Flo's expression turned dead serious.
The slime loli was momentarily taken aback. Where was this confidence coming from?
Without any visible reason, however, she dismissed it as bluffing and took another step forward.
"I'm coming closer~ What are you gonna do about it~?"
"Fine! You asked for it!"
Flo took a deep breath and shouted:
"Help me, Onee-sama!"
The slime loli: …Huh?
"What Onee-sama—gah?!"
Just one second after Flo's cry, countless invisible attacks slammed into the slime loli. Her body was torn apart instantly and smashed deep into the wall.
"Eh… what just happened?"
When she came to, the pink-haired girl found she couldn't move at all.
"What is this?! Such a huge tentacle!"
A massive, thick red tentacle pinned her firmly against the wall.
But that wasn't even the scariest part—the tentacle seemed to carry sealing magic, and she could no longer feel her mana. She couldn't even transform into a tiny slime blob to escape!
What kind of monster could do this?!
And right there in the inn room stood the owner of that terrifying tentacle.
"Ara?"
Hirona stood there, holding a kitchen spatula, wearing an apron, looking utterly confused.
"I was just cooking in the kitchen… How did I end up here? Little Flo, what's going on?"
She turned to see Flo, who was halfway through pulling her dress back on.
"Uh… I…" Flo froze mid-motion, locking eyes with Hirona in extreme embarrassment.
"Inn room? Unfamiliar girl? Ohhh…"
Everything clicked into place in Hirona's mind.
"So that's why you suddenly disappeared for three whole days—you've been out playing around with girls, huh? My little Flo's all grown up now~ But you should've told your big sister! I was really worried about you!"
"It's not like that! I wasn't playing around with anyone!" Flo protested desperately.
"Then where have you been these past three days?" Hirona asked.
Flo hesitated.
She definitely couldn't admit she'd been captured by Illyce and spent three days in "sisterly bonding" ( ´_ゝ`)
There was only one option left!
"She bullied me…" Flo pointed accusingly at the slime loli pinned to the wall.
Slime loli: Why are you pointing at me?!
"You're the one who kidnapped my little sister for three days?" Hirona's eyes sharpened like blades.
"Eh? No! I didn't—I mean—"
"Never mind who you are. Anyone who dares bully my Flo gets no mercy from me."
As Hirona spoke, blazing flames enveloped her massive tentacle, scorching the slime loli's body.
"Gyaaaahhh?!!!"
The slime loli nearly died (but not really).
♡♡♡
"I'm sorry! I was wrong! Please forgive me, Flo-neechan!"
After enduring Hirona's specially designed "Slime-Torture Protocol"—being repeatedly smashed into gel and forced to reform—Nicorim finally understood just how terrifying this crimson-eyed older sister truly was.
(Monster! She's absolutely a monster X﹏X)
To express her deepest, most sincere apology, she performed a full prostration before Flo.
And yes—it was a *naked* prostration ( ´_ゝ`)
"You don't feel sorry—you just realized you're about to die," Hirona shook her head, completely unmoved.
"No! Please don't kill me! I'll do anything, I swear! Waaahh QAQ"
Hirona remained unmoved. Though slimes were immune to physical damage, if she wanted to, she could easily incinerate Nicorim into ashes with fire magic—permanently, with no chance of revival.
"Onee-sama, wait."
But Flo stopped her.
"I'll handle this from here."
"Hm?"
Hirona didn't understand Flo's intentions, but since she'd previously promised not to interfere with Flo's decisions, she handed the pink-haired slime girl over.
Flo's reason for saving her was simple:
Flo: She looks… strangely familiar.
That hair, that voice, that colorful slime form…
To confirm her suspicion, Flo used her "Instant Appraisal" ability.

Flo: …?!
"What's your name?"
"N-Nicorim," the slime girl obediently replied.
Flo: Oh crap…
That name rang a loud bell.
In the previous timeline, she'd defeated a rainbow-colored slime boss named Nicorim!
She never imagined Nicorim would be here in this world too.
But in the last timeline, Nicorim wasn't this lewd, cheeky loli at all—she was the fearsome Slime Queen, ruling her domain with absolute power. It had taken Flo enormous effort to defeat her back then.
So why…?
Flo: Su-su, come out!
[What now, nya?]
Flo: What's going on with Nicorim?
[Exactly what you see, A-fu. She came to this world too, nya.]
Flo: But she was the Slime Queen! How did she turn into this perverted loli obsessed with skin?!
[Have you forgotten what you did to her in the last timeline, A-fu?]
Flo: …Oh no.
Memories flooded back.
After defeating the Slime Queen, Flo had "trained" her thoroughly to make her more useful—turning her into her own little—
[Now you get it, nya. This is your fault, A-fu.]
Flo: No wonder she tried to "train" me just now… Is this karma catching up to me already? (つД`)
[That's not important now. What matters is—are you really going to abandon her? Even though she helped you so much in your past life?]
Flo: …
"So… where will you go next?" Flo asked.
"I'll… keep wandering, I guess. Haha, I don't really have anywhere to go anyway." Nicorim scratched her head awkwardly.
"How about coming back with us? We'll give you a place to stay."
"…Eh? Really?"
Nicorim froze, convinced she'd misheard.
"Interesting," Hirona smiled, watching Flo curiously.
Flo met Hirona's gaze.
Hirona gave a small nod—she had no objections.
"Of course it's real. It's up to you, though—I'll respect your choice if you'd rather keep wandering."
"No no no! I'd love to! I'd absolutely love to! Thank you, Flo-neechan! (✧∇✧)"
Overjoyed, Nicorim immediately pounced onto Flo.
"Don't just jump on me like that… And remember to listen to me, okay?" Flo warned.
"Got it, Master! Nicorim will be a good girl and always obey Master~♡"
"Master…?"
Flo was stunned. Since when did she become "Master"?
[Ding dong!]
[Congratulations! You've acquired a Spirit Pet (Slime)!]
[Relationship Status: Master & Slave]
"Master♡ Master Master♡"
Nicorim clung tightly to Flo, rubbing against her as if Flo had just given her a new life.
Flo: This relationship escalated way too fast…
"Looks like your business here is settled, little Flo?" Hirona asked.
"Yeah… Let's go home, Onee-sama."
"Alright. But…"
Hirona suddenly placed a hand on Flo's shoulder.
"You haven't forgotten what you need to do later, have you?" Hirona's smile was laced with ominous dark lines.
Flo: …?!
Right! The SSS-rank summoning magic came with a price.
And that price was… spending the night in her sister's bed X﹏X
"You'll sleep in my room tonight~♡"
"O-okay… Can you be gentle?"
"I'll try my best~"
"Don't just 'try'! QAQ"
