Chapter XI Divine Pranks
Susan, after analyzing her foes, readied a spell. Both demon girls also readied spells, while the others charged her. She unleashed her spell at one of the demon girls and then tried to dodge an iing spell. Only to stumble over her own feet, not yet being used to an eight-year olds body. Fortunately, the trip did get her out of the way of the iing spell, but it left her wide open to the follow-up spell. Before she could even push herself off the ground, she felt a strange but familiar numbing sensation. At that moment she knew she had been hit by a stun spell. The blue box and her frozen muscles that came after confirmed it. Momentster she sensed a demon next to her and then her mind went nk.
Susan woke up hourster, in a small room and greeted by blue screens. She ignored the screens and looked around. The only furniture in the room was a small bed and a nightstand. The walls were made ofrge smooth stone bricks. On one wall, a small window was letting in light. The only exit was a wooden door. When she tried to move she quickly discovered that she had been chained to a wall. The most concerning thing she found was that for some reason her hand was a semi-transparent blue. Seeing that she wasnt going anywhere she decided to look at the screens she had previously ignored, only for her mood to plummet on seeing them.<table><tbody><tr><td>

Susan couldnt help it, she had spent years training and studying to w her way up the ranks to be a B rank adventurer. In another two to three years, she could have taken the test to be an A rank adventurer, then she could have applied for her dream position of Royal Mage. Although her chances of eptance would be higher if she reached S rank first. Now she was so weak a child could beat her with a single attack, so for the first time since she was a little girl, she cried. It took her a while topose herself and when she did the first thing she did was analyze the one condition she had that she wasnt familiar with and couldnt guess what it did. She was pretty sure that Tinas curse was the curse from the Goddess of Mischief, and was responsible for her new race.
Soul Instability: <i>Your soul is unstable. Due to the requirement of minimum level 20 not being reached, you base stats have been reduced and some skills have been locked.</i>
Deciding she needed to know more about what she was now, she also appraised her new race.
Lesser Slime Girl(Lust Variant): <i>An evolved slime that has gained a humanoid form, like most slimes it thrives on a diet of magic and nt fibers. Slimes are notorious for eating clothing, especially magical clothing, which slimes consider a delicacy. Most slimes cannot survive in areas with low magic, but the lust variant can drain magic from sentient beings by engaging in carnal acts. Which allows them to survive anywhere. The lust variant has the same childlike figure of the normal Lesser Slime Girl, but with more sensual curves. Inherent traits: Physical Negation, Docile, Absorb, Dissolve, Drain Magic, Lesser Resist Magic, Fire Weakness, Form Change</i>
While having a fair idea what these traits did, she decided to appraise them to be sure she remembered right.
Physical Negation: <i>your unique constitution, renders physical attacks ineffective. -95% to physical damage received. Note: damage reduction does not apply to self-inflicted damage.</i>
Docile: <i>you are a natural pacifist. You cant initiatebat. You are more easily tamed. +500% to passive exp gains. -50% tobat experience.</i>
Absorb: <i>you may absorb objects and store them in your stomach, serving as a natural inventory. Grants the inherent skill Absorb. Grants inherent skill stomach.</i>
Dissolve:<i> objects that prate your flesh can be dissolved, regenerating hp, mana, and/or stamina in the process depending on the object. Cant dissolve metal, rock, people, animals, or monsters. Grants inherent skill dissolve.</i>
Drain Magic: <i>By having sex with the target, you can drain their mp. Refilling your own mana pool in the process. Magic eating races regain lost vitality in the process.</i>
Lesser Resist Magic: <i>You have an innate resistance to magic. Reduces magic damage by 20%</i>
Fire Weakness: <i>you are weak to fire. +100% damage from fire-based attacks.</i>
Form Change:<i> you can change between the natural slime form and a humanoid form. Grants inherent skill form change.</i>
Susan after reading this, immediately decided she wanted nothing to do, with the drain magic trait. For the most part, her new traits werent that bad, and for now, the docile trait was a good thing. In the future when she gets stronger however it wont be so good. The easily tamed part being its biggest drawback. Although that probably didnt matter as much since she was already a pet. Having nothing else left to inspect she did her best to inspect her new form. She was indeed smaller than she used to be. She estimated her new height to be around 135 cm, her skin was now a semi-transparent blue. Her hair if you could call it that, fell to around her waist and was a semi-transparent pink. Her chest was bigger than it used to be, she estimated that it was now just barely a d cup. Using a mirror she had found in the nearby nightstand, she inspected her face. Her face was now a cute round one, with a small nose and round pink eyes. She was also entirely naked, but for some reason that didnt bother her like it used to.
After inspecting her new form it urred to her that slimes could let objects pass through their bodies if they wanted to and tried this with the cor only for it to fail. So she inspected the cor and found it was enchanted. It was apparently an enchanted pet cor, in addition to the effect that prevented her from trying to pass through it, it had an effect to let her master punish her. It would also punish her if she disobeyed any rules her master made automatically. So since she couldnt let the cor pass through her, she tried to change her form, only for a blue box to appear.<table><tbody><tr><td>
Inherent Skill: Form Change locked due to soul instability</td></tr></tbody></table>
With her n ruined, she was left with nothing to do. So she pushed herself up the wall a bit so she could look out the window. She was barely able to look out the window, but the view was worth it. Out the window she saw a breathtaking chasm, crisscrossed by a maze of narrow rock paths, on one side she could see a waterfall rushing down into the chasms depths. On the other side of the chasm, was an overgrown forest, with a beauty of its own. The view was great, but she really wanted to get out and explore. However, she had no idea why.
She was still staring out the window, a few hourster when the dungeon brightened and a maid opened the door. The maid was about 160cm tall, with long brown hair and gentle brown eyes. Her face was cute and round. She was wearing a skimpy maid outfit that did little to hide her assets and revealed glimpses of them when she moved. The girl had a modest overall figure, slim and well built with just the right amount of muscle, she was clearly a fighter. Susans eyes were drawn to the girls outfit, and she thought <i>food!</i> This briefly confused her, while she was hungry she had never seen clothing as food before. It took her moment to realize this thought was due to her new instincts as a slime. This wasnt the only change in her thinking that had urred due to her race change, but it was the first she had noticed. Her eyes were drawn away from the outfit when she say, therge expensive looking nket the maid was holding. She tried to grab it only to snapped back by the cor she had forgotten about.
The maidughed a bit while she was on the ground rubbing her butt. It didnt hurt much, but she had managed to hurt herself and inflict one point of hp damage to herself. A momentter the maid ced the nket in front of her and sat back. Susan then snatched the nket up and started eating it, without thinking. To her new senses the nket tasted great, not the best meal she had ever had, but way better than travel rations.
Thomas, while sitting back on her heels watched the little slime girl in front of her. The girl was absolutely adorable with the way she was behaving. And while Thomas could have easily stopped the girl from falling on her butt, the experience was good for her. In fact, Thomas had watched the girl level up twice, since she had came into the room. Most of the experience for those level-ups came from eating the nket she had brought. Thomas wasnt entirelyfortable leaving the girl tied up, but as a slime, her instinct is to eat all of the clothing in sight, so until she is properly trained she would apparently have to stay tied up.
Thomas also felt some sympathy for the girl, since she already knew what it was like having your form fundamentally changed. Sure she was lucky and only ended up with her gender changed, but she understood. She was lucky as well that she had her sister for support, which had helped. Now she was still trying toe to terms with the fact that she was going to be a girl for the rest of her life, but that didnt mean she wasnt grateful for the support, Amy had provided so far. This girl, however, had no one and she wanted to be that support.
The moment the girl had finished eating Thomas introduced herself, Hello, Im Thomas and you are?
Susan, and isnt that a boys name? replied Susan.
Yeah, I did something really, really stupid and ended up a girl because of it. Then my party tried challenging the dungeon a second time, we werent nning on going further than the second-floor boss room, but we ran out of time answering the riddle and triggered a floor transfer trap. So now Im a dungeon pet, too, said Thomas.
Oh, so you''re one of the rookies, we were looking for. You wouldnt happen to know what happened to my party? asked Susan, curious, but not really concerned since she hardly knew them.
Well, ording to master, three of your friends got wrapped up in a divine quest for the Dark Goddess of Mischief and were consequently teleported out of the dungeon. While the tank, got cursed like you, but she ended up an Ant Girl instead. I think Mara is supposed to be taking care of her, answered Thomas. Susan was a bit jealous, unlike slimes which were well known for being weak. Ant Girls, were notorious for being a strong monsters, a single Ant Girl was a C rank monster.
Meanwhile, in the dungeon town, Michael, Mira, and Delh were sitting around a table trying to figure out how they will seed with the quest they were stuck with. None of them were particrly fond of being a pet, and Michael wanted the reward since the minor favor meant she could get rid of that Rogue-nip title. Mira also had a few ideas for the favor, but Delh had no idea what she wanted to get from the favor. They had been at the table since breakfast, but they still didnt have a n. They had gotten to the dungeon town,te the night before so they had given a brief report to the guild before booking rooms at the inn.
The inn was functional, but like the guild not entirely finished either. The only finished door in the entire building was the front door. A good number of the doors were just the frame, a few were installed, but stillcked hardware. Such as locks or handles. Because of this most of the guest hung curtains over the doors to get a little privacy. As for the tavern upfront, it was missing a few things as well, the most ring was the fact the bar was just a frame.
Yeah, I dont think that would work either, said Delh.
But leaving it on his doorstep, would be perfect, said Michael.
Yes, it would guarantee he gets the ring, but he has to wear it, remember. If he doesnt we all fail the quest, and Tina gets three new pets. Besides who would wear a ring, that cant be appraised? replied Delh.
No, I guess not. So what do you suggest we do? asked Michael, a little dejected that her idea was shot down.
I think our only real option is to sneak into his house and slip it on his finger ourselves while he is sleeping, said Mira. Michael wanted to reject that, but couldnt think of a good reason. How well that n would go would depend on whether or not he had a fancy security system installed.
I really dont like that idea, but I think you are right, replied Michael.
So how will we pull it off? Im pretty sure we wont get a second chance if we screw this up, said Delh. Mira thenid out her n. It was simple Mira and Delh would sneak into the Guildmasters house. It would be Miras job as a rogue to unlock any doors, while Delh would keep a sleep spell ready just in case they needed it. As for Michael, she would keep a lookout so that they could leave without being seen. Satisfied with their n, they headed to the guild to make the full report the guild wanted.
After making their report they were free for the rest of the day. They made a prettyplete report, but they left a few details out, such as what the little favor, that Tina wanted from them entailed. Now that it was night they were gathering outside the Guildmasters house, it was one of the few buildings in the town that wasplete both inside and out. Michael found a nice ce to rest nearby that allowed her to keep an eye on the approaches to, and from the house. While Mira and Delh snuck up to the house, after checking the windows to make sure the guild master was asleep, Mira moved to unlock the front door. The lock was moreplicated than most of the locks she had encountered in the dungeon but not something she couldnt deal with. More importantly, there was no sign of a fancy magical security system. Either he didnt have one or hadnt gotten around to installing it. After a few minutes of working at it, she was rewarded with a gentle click and the door swung quietly open. The two then carefully moved into the sparsely furnished living room.
The room was furnished with only two bookshelves, a sofa, two chairs, and a table. There was a small rug under the table. The bookshelves were mostly empty, but there were a couple crates full of books next to the shelves. The two quietly moved to the door on the other side of the room and opened it, to reveal a short hallway. The hall had several doors one on their right was open and revealed a sparsely furnished office, with several unopened crates sitting in the room. Mira saw a strongbox sitting on the desk, and wanted to try her hand at opening it, but Delh stopped her.
Proceeding down the hall, they came to a locked door on the left, which Mira spent about a minute to open. The bedroom like the rest of the house was sparsely furnished and several crates some open, others sealed were stacked in a corner. The only furniture in the room was a bed, a nightstand and a dresser. Mira snuck over to the Guildmasters side. He stirred and Delh cast her sleep spell. Then Mira slipped the ring onto his finger, almost instantly his body glowed and then shrunk to reveal a cute loli.
The two were almost unable to contain their amusement at the sight, but managed to hold it in until they got out of the house. Mira relocked the door behind them and they snuck off. Michaels had an easy time as well, only having to distract one person from the area. Which she managed to do without being seen. The three linked up down the road from the house and then made their way to the inn. The moment they entered their room at the inn, they were greeted with a wee blue box.<table><tbody><tr><td>

Michael immediately used her favor to wish away that title she didnt want, and smiled happily when it went away, only for her mood to be ruined by Miras wish momentster. She then looked over to Delh and saw she had a simr problem.<table><tbody><tr><td>
Congrattions!
Your party member has wished away your freedom!
New Title: Miras Pet</td></tr></tbody></table>
Delh was staring at a simr screen to Michael, after hours of trying to think what she had wanted, she had finally decided on wish to make her a better healer. The new title Tina gave her did just that, by halving the cost of healing spells while doubling their effect, or in some cases adding additional healing benefits or a buff to the target of the spell. She had been happy with the title and then she got the message that Mira had made her a pet, just like Michael.
The next morning Guildmaster Philip got out of bed just like any other morning and immediately noticed something was off. It was immediately apparent that the room looked much bigger than it used to. Concerned he ran to his bathroom and looked into the mirror. In the mirror, he saw a very cute, small and young-looking girl that didnt match his view of himself. Philip had previously been a tall man at 213cm, with a healthy muscr build and strong features. Although he was also beginning to show his age. The girl in the mirror, couldnt be more than a 120 cm tall. She had a slender build, the baggy nightclothes hanging awkwardly on her frame. Long purple hair framed her face and fell halfway down her back. Her face was heart-shaped, with bright intelligent eyes, colored a lovely light purple. A pair of modest swells could be seen peeking out from the gaps in the baggy nightclothes, that couldnt berger than a b cup. Philip immediately checked himself to see if this was an illusion only to find he really was a girl.
What the hell! Why am I a girl!!!? cried Philp in shock and as if in answer to his question a blue box popped up in his face.<table><tbody><tr><td>
