Solution lengthened her slender digits into tubelike shapes a fraction of an inch wide. By nature, Solution was an amorphous slime, so she could alter her appearance quite radically. Changing the contour of her fingertips was a piece of cake.

With a glance at the door, she keenly observed the lack of Sebas’s presence outside and quietly approached the woman lying on the bed.

“I have permission from Master Sebas, so I’ll promptly solve all this trouble. I’m sure you’re fine with that as well. You probably don’t even know what’s going on.”

Solution took the hand she hadn’t transformed and reached inside her body to take out the scrolls she’d been keeping there.

These scrolls weren’t the only things she was secretly carrying. She contained not only consumable magic items but also, of course, weapons and armor. She had enough room to swallow up several humans, so there was nothing surprising about that.

Solution gazed at the unconscious woman.

She wasn’t the least bit interested in the woman’s features. Solution had a single thought: She doesn’t look very tasty. That was all.

With this husk of a body, the woman probably wouldn’t even struggle if she was melting in Solution’s acid. Where was the fun in that?

“If I could have her as a toy after I finished healing her, I would understand Master Sebas’s behavior, but…”

She knew her boss’s personality. He would never approve of that. Unless they were attacked on the road or something similar, he would never allow her to prey on humans.

“If he’s acting on the Supreme One’s instructions and was ordered to save her, I suppose I have to accept it, but…is she really worth expending the Supreme One’s precious assets? This human?” Solution shook her head to clear her mind. “…Should I just eat her before Master Sebas returns?”

Solution broke a seal and unrolled a scroll. The magic it contained was Heal, an elite tier-six recovery spell that restored a great deal of vitality and cured almost all negative status effects, including sickness.

Usually only those with the class that would allow them to cast the spell normally could use the corresponding scrolls. So to use faith caster spell scrolls, one would need to attain a priest-type class. More specifically, the spell had to be on the list of available spells that the class could learn. However, some thief-type classes provided the ability to sidestep this requirement and “trick” scrolls.

As an assassin, Solution had a number of thief-type classes that allowed her to use the Heal scroll.

“First, I’ll make sure she’s comatose. Then…” Solution prepared a compound combining a strong sleep-inducing anesthetic with a muscle relaxant and moved over to where the woman lay.
