Shota is surrounded by monsters!

The gluttonous boy, so nervous that he mimicked his father's tone of voice, took a step back in disbelief and murmured, "I... I actually drank thirty years' worth of a monster girl's bodily fluids?!"

Chapter Two. Slime Girl

Image: "Slime Girl", Location: "Images/225704-39431.jpg"

Damp...warm...and a faint fragrance...

It feels very comfortable.

The half-asleep, half-awake gluttonous boy mumbled something like jelly as it slowly squeezed into his half-open mouth. A sweet liquid slid across his taste buds and flowed down his throat...

So sweet. The sleepy, gluttonous boy subconsciously licked the jelly with his tongue, and then...

"Ah. No..."

Upon hearing the girl's soft moan, the gluttonous boy suddenly realized what he was sucking. When he opened his eyes, he saw a blue, soft slime girl completely enveloping him, with her fingers stuffed in his mouth.

"..."

The gluttonous boy instinctively tried to push away the slime girl clinging to him, but when he pushed with his left hand, he was directly enveloped in the slime girl's jelly-like body.

Then, as if sensing something very pleasant, the slime girl began to explore and squeeze her body, which was enveloped by the gluttonous hand...

"Mmm...my body is going to be filled up..."

The slime girl, with her face pressed against the gluttonous boy's chest, murmured strange things in her sleep. As if trying to completely envelop the gluttonous boy, the jelly-like liquid on her body slowly secreted more liquid.

"Wake up!"

The gluttonous boy released a trace of demonic energy, and the slime girl, as if sensing some terrifying aura, quickly transformed into a puddle of soft water and slid off the bed. Then, a cute girl's head peeked out of the water, cautiously looking at the boy who exuded a scent that both frightened and evoked a sense of nostalgia.

"Oh, oh. The blankets and sheets I just bought yesterday are all wet."

The boy looked at the wet bed, even his new underwear was sticky. He shook his head helplessly and said to the frightened slime girl, "Be good, sleep in your own bed from now on, don't sneak over here, okay?"

"Goooooooooooo-"

The slime girl poked her little head out and blew bubbles—it has to be said, the slime girl is quite cute, but no matter how cute she is, she is still a slime girl... not a gluttonous girl.

How can people of different species fall in love?

However, it seems that I am the only Taotie left in this world. Does this mean that in order to continue the family line, I will have to have sex with different species?

Different species, how can they have children?!

Speaking of which... what kind of creature is my mother?

"Ugh."

The puzzled boy could only sigh again. He was completely at a loss with this little creature; he couldn't eat it, throw it away, or leave it anywhere. Thinking this, he had no choice but to sit up in bed, walk around where the slime girl was, head towards the door, and push it open—

The girl's wet underwear was lying on the ground.

Looking behind her, the slime girl still only dared to peek out. When she saw the boy looking at her, she quickly and fearfully shrank back, then slowly flowed towards the boy.

"Pack it up yourself."

After glancing at the underwear on the ground, the boy headed towards the bathroom, and the slime girl quickly followed him. Once outside, she realized she had forgotten something, so she reached out a hand from the water, picked up the underwear, and carried it on her back as she followed the boy—she was just being dragged along by his tail.

Squeeze out the toothpaste, pick up the toothbrush...

Looking at his human form in the mirror, the boy realized that brushing his teeth like this wouldn't do much good, so he had a sudden thought and transformed back into the gluttonous creature with a sheep's body and a giant face.

The little Taotie is now almost the size of a calf.

It picked up one paw and pressed down on the large toothbrush, while squeezing toothpaste with the other paw. Only after half of the newly bought toothpaste had been squeezed out did it use both paws to lift the large toothbrush and put it into its huge mouth to brush.

The brushing process lasted a full ten minutes...

Taotie brushed his teeth until they were reflective, then nodded his enormous head in satisfaction.

"Me too, I want some too."

The slime girl behind him revealed the upper half of her body and tugged at the Taotie's tail—if you didn't look at her light blue skin, she would definitely be a girl with a great figure and super cute appearance, right?

But she is still a slime.

Upon hearing the slime girl's request, the Taotie used its claws to hold the remaining half of the toothpaste tube and lifted it onto her head.

It's also a clean slime.

Squeeze hard—too hard—and the toothpaste sprayed onto the slime girl's face.

"ah."

Seemingly due to the mint-flavored toothpaste, the slime girl accidentally let out a groan that sounded like both pain and pleasure after getting toothpaste on her.

Taotie quickly turned his head and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Looking in the mirror, Slime Girl had gradually gotten used to the feeling of toothpaste. She stretched out her slender fingers and slowly put the toothpaste on her face into her little mouth. At the end, she even licked her fingers with a lingering sense of satisfaction, leaving a strand of silver thread.

If only I could still see the white toothpaste through your transparent body, that would be fine.

Taotie used his hind legs to walk to the bathtub—he had turned on the tap a little before going to bed last night, and it should be almost full by now. Just as he was about to drink his daily dose of aquatic water, a small, pale blue hand slipped past his massive body, seemingly trying to sneak a touch of the water.

"Ok?"

The gluttonous beast turned to look at the slime girl who was trying to sneak away, pointed with its paw at the washbasin, and said, "There, it's yours. Here, it's mine."

"Waaah—"

Slime Girl didn't really like the feeling of tap water gushing out, so she pouted and let out a groan.

"..."

Taotie had no choice but to turn on the bathtub faucet again and said, "I'll drink first, then you can drink."

The slime girl nodded, then shook her head, and said haltingly, "I... I'll go in first. The water will become sweeter, and you like sweet water..."

But that wasn't water at all; it was the slime girl's bodily fluids!

Although it's truly hard to say goodbye to the sweet spring that has accompanied me through thirty years of growing up...

Taotie shook his head and said, "I'll go first."

Without saying a word, he submerged his mouth in the water, took a deep breath, and instantly, four-fifths of the water in the bathtub disappeared.

"All right."

After finishing its washing and grooming, Taotie picked up the hair dryer that was plugged into the socket with its paws, then pressed the power button with its sharp fingertips, and comfortably dried its shiny golden fur with the hair dryer in its hands.

ten minutes later……

The gluttonous boy, now back in human form, stretched comfortably. A fresh, clean morning was definitely the best. However, he was currently completely naked, even though there was only a slime girl at home. So, he told the slime girl not to reveal her true form after she finished drinking, and to return to him in human form, dry herself, and get dressed before coming to find him. Then, he left the bathroom and went back to his room to change.

As soon as he changed his clothes and reopened the door, the gluttonous boy saw a blonde girl who was completely naked except for her panties lying at his door. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to be preparing to turn into a slime again and sneak in through the crack in the door.

"...Didn't I tell you to get dressed before you come over?"

The gluttonous boy quickly covered his eyes. Even after fully transforming into human form, he still felt somewhat embarrassed, knowing she was a slime.

The blonde girl stood up, and with an innocent expression, handed the bra in her hand to Taotie, saying, "I don't know how to wear it..."

The girl's face was as exquisite as a piece of glass, her fair skin giving one the feeling of not wanting to touch it, and the dazed look in her eyes—or rather, the pure look—added to her charm.

The boy had no choice but to resist looking down at her and said, "Didn't I just teach you how to dress yesterday?"

The girl lowered her head, looking somewhat troubled, and said, "I...I forgot..."

“…Okay, turn around, I’ll help you put it on.”

Determined to buy a front-closure bra next time so she could wear it herself, Taotie took the bra from the girl to show her to raise her hand, and then, somewhat roughly—actually awkwardly—put the bra on for her.

"It hurts..."

The slime girl turned her head, looked at the glutton with a sorrowful expression, and said, "I don't want to wear it..."

Being a monster, especially a soft-bodied monster like a slime, is indeed quite difficult for them to wear clothes. No, perhaps it's more accurate to say that they are basically unable to transform into a complete human form, at most they can mimic water. I don't know if this slime had eight hundred years of bad luck or great fortune, but after being licked by a gluttonous beast for thirty years, it actually mutated into a slime queen, and then gained the intelligence of a child, and could even transform into a complete human form.

But the Slime Queen is only stronger than other slimes. In essence, she is still a very weak monster. Apart from being able to wrap around her prey and suffocate them, she can only spit to attack others. Unfortunately, this slime did not grow in a swamp and become a poisonous slime. Instead, she originally grew in an orchard and became a sweet slime.

"You don't have to wear it if you don't want to."

The slime girl's face showed a delighted expression, but then she said something else.

"Then stay at home."

After hesitating between the pain of wearing clothes and the pain of leaving her master, the slime girl, realizing that the latter would be more painful, resigned herself to wearing the relatively less uncomfortable clothes.

"Okay, let's go have breakfast."

The gluttonous boy patted the slime girl's head. The room was about 30 square meters, with a bathroom cubicle larger than the two people's sleeping area. Between the two small rooms was a dining area with only a dining table.

In short, it's not very spacious.

The boy took out a whole box of compressed biscuits from the cabinet, then tore open about twenty packs and put them together—one pack of compressed biscuits was enough to sustain a person's energy for a day, but for the young glutton, twenty packs could only be considered a breakfast, and a breakfast that was not enough to satisfy his hunger.

But there's no way around it; living in the city requires certain rules. You can't just eat whatever you see like you're in the wild, even gnawing on several trees when you're hungry.

Even yokai have their own rules and regulations; they are organized and documented. For example, newly born yokai need to register, newly arrived yokai need to register, and they must confess any bad deeds they have committed for leniency. Otherwise, the government's supernatural disaster countermeasures office, onmyoji, shrine maidens, barrier masters, and people with supernatural abilities will cause trouble.

Of course, these are only the yokai who envy human life and want to survive in human society. As for those lawless yokai that lurk in the city, although they live happily, they face more dangers.

The yokai (supernatural beings) in this area are organized into a self-governing group called the Nura Clan, and their leader is an old, elusive yokai—a yokai that is like a flower reflected in a mirror, or the moon floating on water. In other words, a mirage, a yokai that materializes dreams. This is the description given in the Yaoyorozu Recipe, but Taotie wouldn't actually treat it as a recipe. After all, a young, non-purebred Taotie would have a hard time facing such a powerful yokai. Of course, if some unscrupulous old man were to come along, he'd probably laugh and devour all the yokai before dying from overeating.

The relationship between the yokai self-governing organizations and the hidden human organizations can only be described as so-so; they are aware of each other's existence but will not actively attack each other's hideouts. One-on-one duels in the wild are quite common, since many humans consider yokai to be completely different and kill them indiscriminately, regardless of good or evil. However, due to the constraints imposed by the bosses on both sides, large-scale battles are still rare.

Taotie had of course registered there as well, but not in the name of Taotie, but in the name of a foreign mixed-blood monster. Since he was a mixed-blood, he only needed to conceal his Taotie aura so that the other party would never discover that he was a descendant of the ancient ferocious beast Taotie.

While he could easily slip through without registering, the slime girl who had followed him across the sea to Japan couldn't. So he had no choice but to register their entry with the Nura Clan—they were no longer undocumented and had received temporary residence permits. They even got a sign that could barely block out a little bit of demonic energy.

Moreover, seeing that the two of them seemed to be genuinely trying to do good, the other party even provided them with a small house to live in. They also arranged their real-world identities and gave them some cash to use.

He seems to be doing this out of kindness... but he actually has to pay it back. If he can't pay it back after a few years, he'll have no choice but to become a subordinate in the Nura Clan to settle his debts.

They're practically gangsters!

While munching on compressed biscuits, Taotie thought resentfully, "Without welfare or basic living allowances, being a monster is really too miserable."

"what happened?"

Seeing the longing expression on the face of the slime girl watching him eat, Taotie asked somewhat strangely, "Aren't we only allowed to drink water?"

Slimes are creatures that can survive simply by consuming liquids—any kind will do. They have no interest in eating solids, especially this non-acidic slime in front of them; eating solids would only make its already beautiful body even more murky…

"Juice, I want to drink juice..."
