Chapter 267

“What?” Delta demanded. “Why didn’t you tell me you had something like this?”

The foxgirl stared at the vial of Gooey Transmutation potion, mouth open and eyes wide. She gave a nearly offended look to Zoey, as if she’d sinned gravely by not revealing the item to her.

“I was keeping it a surprise,” Zoey said, rolling her eyes. “Stop looking like I kicked a puppy.”

“You’ve been keeping that in your back pocket? You’re telling me I could’ve had a slimegirl princess, ” she jabbed a finger at Rosalie, “earlier than today, and I haven’t? Don’t talk to me. We’re over.”

“If you forgive me, we can share her?”

“Well, I’m not that mad,” Delta said, changing her tune. “Maybe throw in a little extra? Not that I’m easy to buy, mind you.” She narrowed her eyes at Zoey as if daring to contradict her.

Zoey summoned two more vials of Gooey Transmutation. Delta gasped. She snatched one away and admired the thick green liquid. “This is the best day ever.”

“I’m glad you think so. But it’s untested. Er—sort of. Sabina made sure it works, but it’s not thoroughly researched.”

“It could kill me afterward and I wouldn’t care.” She held the vial reverently, like she might mean the words. She paused. “When you say untested, though, it will put us back together afterward, yeah?”

“I’m sure it’s safe. Sabina wouldn’t have given me some if it wasn’t. But I haven’t used it yet—I don’t know what it’s like.”

“Huh.”

“And Rosalie first,” Zoey chided. “We’ll take ours later.”

“Princess first,” Delta agreed solemnly, tucking the vial into her inventory.

Rosalie’s face, meanwhile, had been turning increasingly deeper shades of red at how excited both of them were to have her take the potion. No doubt imagining why they were eager, and what they wanted to do to her when her body would be made of see-through goo.

Zoey scooted off Rosalie’s lap and handed her the potion. The girl, who had been lying on her back, elbowed up and took the vial, eyeing it apprehensively.

“How long does it last?”

“Varies, according to Sabina,” Zoey said. “If it’s anything like the cock potions, it’ll last however long it needs to.”

“This has practical uses too, I bet,” Rosalie said. “A slime body might have all sorts of functional benefits, like—”

“Shut up and take the potion so we can rail you, please,” Delta said. “Tactical benefits later.”

Rosalie paused, eyed the foxgirl, then blushed at the completely earnest and not-antagonistic look on her face. It’d been a genuine plea, for once.

“W-Well, fine. If that’s what you two demand of me. But for the record, I’m only doing something so ... deviant ... because you’re asking.”

Zoey and Delta shared a look, but for once they didn’t contest her claim.

“Right, right,” Delta said. “You’re perfectly chaste and comport yourself with the utmost dignity at all times—all instances of degeneracy are to be loaded onto your insatiable girlfriends’ shoulders. Now drink the potion, damn it!”

This time, Zoey and Rosalie shared a look.

“What?” Delta asked.

“Nothing. Just very well articulated,” Zoey laughed. She squeezed Rosalie’s thigh. “But I agree. Drink the potion.”

Rosalie grumbled, putting up the requisite amount of protest, then uncorked the vial and tipped the viscous green liquid back. It took two swallows to get down, and her nose wrinkled. Potions rarely tasted pleasant. Considering what sorts of crazy things went into them, that wasn’t surprising.

A violent shiver went through Rosalie, and she dropped the empty vial on the bed.

“Oh. Oh, dear,” she murmured.

Among all the less appropriate reasons to be interested in this transformation, Zoey was curious academically too. Like—what would an ongoing slimegirl transformation look like?

She could imagine a few gruesome ways it might go. Such as, if the transitory state between the two phases made her skin halfway see-through while giving a peek into similarly halfway translucent organs. That was a rather not-very-erotic image, but to her relief, the transformation was more palatable. When Rosalie’s skin started to change color and become translucent, she was immediately see-through all of the way: just moving from opaque to less opaque with every second.
