Three days later, the results of the final experiment were waiting for us. Gabriel and I stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside.

“It’s...absolutely pouring,” he said.

“So it is.”

Three days ago, the skies had been clear, and I had rejoiced for our bright future. But today, it was raining cats and dogs.

“Fran, winter rains can easily make one sick,” Gabriel said. “Shall we leave it for tomorrow?”

“No, I want to see the pearls...or so I’d say, but I also don’t want you to catch a cold.”

“I’ll be fine. I’m stronger than I look. If you want to see the pearls, we can go.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, but you’ll have to wear the warmest and most waterproof clothes possible.”

“Understood.”

I figured I would wear several cloaks layered upon each other with a raincoat on top, but Gabriel’s suggested countermeasure was completely unexpected.

“Firstly... On days like this, the ground is muddy and slippery. It will be even more treacherous in a dress. So, pants are a must for your own safety,” he said. “Do you have any?”

“Yes. Not long ago, mother invited me to go hunting with her, so I had a set of clothes made.”

Gabriel was taken aback. “Why in the world would she do that? I’ve never seen her show interest in hunting before.”

“Apparently, hunting with guns is the current fad among women in the capital. The game they catch is turned into coats.”

“What a dangerous trend.”

My mother-in-law probably wasn’t interested in the hunting itself—she just wanted to do what her younger sister in the capital, Mrs. Molière, had impressed upon her.

“Anyway, since you have pants, next is this.” Gabriel held out a red slime. “Have it transform into a coat for you to wear. It has fire properties, so it will warm you through, even on the coldest winter days.”

“Oh, similar to how Wibble heats itself up.”

“Wibble? When did it do that?”

“When I was living in the old part of town, there were nights when it was too cold to fall asleep. Wibble kept me warm.”

Gabriel whipped his head around to look at the slime in question. “Wibble, you can do that?”

“Yup! Wibble just never did it for you.”

“And you slept with Fran?!”

“Heh heh! Aren’t you jealous?”

“Oh, I’m extremely— Erm, never mind.” Gabriel pushed the bridge of his glasses up as he ordered Wibble to transform into a scarf for me. “Lastly, take this.” He held out a blue slime. “All slimes are waterproof, but this light-blue one is especially so. It can transform into a raincoat that won’t let a single drop of water through. Next, I’ll grab a nearby tamed slime and have it turn into an umbrella. You should be safe from the cold and rain with all of these.”

“Gabriel, you’re going to take the same measures for yourself, right?”

“Of course!”

“But if you catch a cold, Fran will take care of you!”

“That does sound very tempting! I could catch a cold now and— I mean, how could you say that, Wibble?!”

Apparently, Gabriel wanted me to nurse him back to health.
