Chapter 20

After Rowen’s sudden, and ill-fated, departure, Milly took the dungeon girls over to her room.

“I now convene the first all-girl meeting of the dungeon and town alliance,” she declared happily. “My name is Milly, and I am a future adventurer and Rowen’s party leader. I practice a form of clerical magic with the Lady of Desire as my patron.”

Going along with the mood, Claire flew up to Milly’s shoulder and curtsied. “My name is Claire, and I am the dungeon pixie partner of Doc the Dungeon. I wield a variety of earth and dark magic as well as innate pixie magic.”

The two waited expectantly. Anadine and The Twins stared, blinking without words.

“It’s you turn, girls,” Claire prompted.

“We—” The Twins began to speak together.

“You have to introduce yourself individually,” Milly interrupted. Claire nodded in agreement from Milly’s shoulder.

“M... my name is Ayla,” the first twin said hesitantly. “I am a worg in Doc’s dungeon. I fight with my body and can use shadow magic.”

“I am... Aisha,” the other twin continued after her sister. “I am also a worg. My powers are the same as my sister’s.”

“Is there anything that you two don’t share?” Milly asked curiously.

The two girls shared a look of bewilderment as they considered what Milly asked.

“I like chewing on the neck first,” Ayla admitted. “The meat there is soft and chewy with a great flavor.”

“I like biting into the upper leg,” Aisha revealed. “It has a firm, meaty taste different from the other parts.”

Milly couldn’t decide if she felt more horrified or intrigued.

“My lord-given name is Anadine,” the slime girl proclaimed proudly. “I am a wandering dungeon boss of my lord and master, Doc. I fight with my slime!”

“Can I ask you a question?” Milly asked. “Why are you capable of speaking intellectually? I thought all slimes were mindless.”

“I ate a lot of dungeon shards from the undead dungeon and gained sentience,” Anadine boasted. “Now, I am the ultimate wandering boss monster in the dungeon… well, once I learn how to use my abilities properly.”

“Really? Is that all? I mean, any other slime would have just gotten stronger, right? Why did the dungeon shard increase your intelligence rather than your strength? Did you even evolve?”

Anadine looked stumped. She folded her armored arms and began twisting her head like a screw.

“Um, we can think about that later,” Claire quickly intervened. “For now, why don’t we do something about Anadine’s clothes? If we’re going to go with the story that Anadine is Milly’s new bodyguard, then we’ll need to have her look the part. Milly, do you have any clothes she can try on?”

Distracted by the question, Milly turned her head absentmindedly and examined her closet. She walked over to the small room and rummaged through a pile of old clothes on the ground.

“Let’s see. I know it was here somewhere,” she murmured as articles of cloth began to fly through the air. “Ah here, found it!” Milly took out a ballroom dress and handed it over the slime girl.
