Chapter 9: Suu
…
It was lunch, and I was currently home. A pot of tea boiled beside me, filling the room with its scent while I sat at the dining table, eating salad with one hand and lifting a glowing weight with the other.
By themselves, the weights Mr. Adams made me wouldn't do much for me, so I layered them with light to increase their total weight. I started with something easy, adding sixty pounds onto the eighty-pound weight, but that wasn't enough, so I kept increasing it. More. More. And more. Eventually I was lifting around seven hundred pounds with one hand while eating lunch. Funnily enough, I felt like I could still go higher, but I held off.
While lifting, I thought back to last night. I had really gone above and beyond with that giant light sphere. I'd probably pushed out somewhere around sixty to seventy percent of my power into it.
"And then I passed out." I hummed as I switched arms and kept going. I hadn't seen where it landed, but judging by the chaos it caused just by being around, I was sure the damage had been ridiculous. "Hopefully nobody got hurt." I did everything I could to shoot it away from the populace, but I had no idea where it could've landed.
Shaking my head, I moved to another thought. Suu. Or the slime girl who looked like Suu from Monmusu. Why was a Monmusu character in Monster Girl Quest? Was this world not the canon game but an AU? If that was true, what else was different? This was bad, because if the world didn't follow canon, then my future knowledge might not be as reliable as I thought it would.
A dry chuckle escaped me. "Man, I'm so fucked." Then again, I was already screwed from the beginning, so nothing much changed. I'd just have to do my best until Alice fell from the sky and I got my hands on Angel Halo and the Four Spirits.
Still, the differences bothered me. According to Luka's memories, things like wizards and magic weapons existed here in ways the game never really explained. Magic swords, half-monster men capable of enchanting weapons, special equipment beyond or near Angel Halo, and Granberia's swords. It seemed this world had its own mysteries that Luka and I both didn't fully know.
I sighed and stroked my chin. "What should I do?" Maybe I could ask the village chief if he had any books. Or maybe I could take a trip to the nearest town and see if they have a library. Every couple weeks, Simon and a couple of soldiers would visit Iliasburg to pick up supplies for the village. If I asked him, maybe I could tag along. Not to be vain, but with my light powers and daytime strength, I doubted a regular slime girl could hurt me.
Standing up, I placed the weight down and moved into a handstand. Slowly, I started my reps. "One…" I lowered myself, balanced, then pushed back up. "Two…" As I exercised, I thought more about Suu. What exactly was her story in this world? She didn't seem talkative, so questioning her probably wouldn't get me anywhere, but she wasn't deaf or emotionless either. From my short interaction I could tell she was expressive, friendly, and kind.
I thought back to the kiss from earlier and nearly lost balance. "Damn." I chuckled, covering my face with one hand while still holding myself up with the other.
That was probably the best kiss of my twenty-two years of life. I still didn't fully understand why she did it, but the more I thought about it, the more I figured it might just be how monster girls behaved in this world. They treated intimacy way more casually. That was part of the reason I was into them. Most of them, anyway. There were some monster girls I would never want to be near. Cough!—Slug Girls.—Cough!
I restarted my exercise, then stopped again. "Wait."If I remember right, Suu's mother in Monmusu was an Undine. "Could that mean it's the same here?" My expression tightened. If this really was an AU, and if Suu looked like Suu because she actually was Suu, then maybe she had some connection to Undine here too.
In MGQ, Undine wasn't a species. She was the Elemental Spirit of Water. One of the Four Spirits. There was only one of her.
"Holy shit—whoa!" I lost balance and fell flat on my back. My head was too busy spinning around the theory that Suu might be connected to one of the Four Spirits. I didn't know if it was true, but the chance was high enough that I couldn't ignore it.
Just then someone knocked at my door.
Getting up, I opened it. "It's you." Kem stood there, quiet and stiff. He asked if he could come in. Since I didn't sense any hostility from him and because I was curious about what he had to say, I let him inside. "Sure. I'm making tea. Wait a bit." He sat at the kitchen table, and for five minutes, neither of us said anything while waiting on the tea.
When it was ready, I poured two cups and placed one in front of him. He thanked me quietly and took a sip. His eyes widened slightly. "Wow. This is really good."
I smiled. The tea was herbal, made with apples, onions, ginger, and lime. It wasn't perfect because it was missing a few ingredients, but it reminded me of home. My grandma used to make it for me. "You're welcome." I said, taking a sip of my own.
For a while, we just sat there in peaceful silence. No yelling. No fighting. Eventually, I put my cup down. "So what brought you over?"
Kem stared into his cup. His hands tightened around it. Then, slowly, he apologized. For everything. For what he did to Luka and his mom. His voice shook, and he stuttered through it all out of shame. Before he could spiral too much, I stood and placed a hand on his shoulder. He looked up, surprised, and I smiled. "It's okay now. I'm glad we're past this."
He stared at me with disbelief. "Why…why are you being so understanding after everything I've done to you?"
I shrugged. It's not like he did anything to me. I took over Lukas's body. Whatever beef he had with him was with him. I just stepped in because I didn't want to see a kid be so self-destructive in his jealousy.
"I have my reasons. But that doesn't matter. You apologized, so we don't have to be enemies anymore. If you're really sorry, make it up to me by letting the past stay in the past. Also, stop being an asshole." Kem blinked, then gave a small laugh despite himself.
"Thank you, Luka. I promise to make it up to you." He swore.
I shrugged my shoulders casually. "Whatever you say. Oh, and I'm sorry too for roughing you up and making you my bitch."
Kem's narrowed his eyes at me. "You did not make me your bitch."
"Pretty sure I did." I added cheekily.
"Shut up." He grumbled, crossing his arm.
We bantered for a bit but soon began laughing. We talked over another cup of tea. Eventually, the topic shifted to the upcoming Ilias blessing ceremony next month. Kem sounded excited, talking about how people from all over would visit and how busy the village would become. His eyes practically sparkled when he said how he wanted to receive a blessing someday, but because we were too young, the adults wouldn't allow it until we were at least eighteen.
Unlike him, I wasn't excited at all. For one, it meant I might only have four years before canon kicked off. More importantly, it meant Ilias herself would be coming here soon. My mood immediately soured. No matter how much stronger I became, that blonde bimbo still had me in the palm of her hand. Iliasville felt like a prison, and she was the warden. Just the idea of her being anywhere near me put me on edge.
Seeing my sour mood, Kem asked. "What's wrong?"
I sighed and took another sip. Of course he wouldn't understand. To most people, Ilias was the Divine Light Goddess. To me, she was a manipulative control freak with a world-ending ego. "Don't worry about it." I said, then changed the topic.
"Here's the thing, Kem. Someday…" I paused, choosing my words carefully. I couldn't tell him the truth. That would only paint a target on his back. "Someday soon, I'm going to leave the village and travel around the world."
Kem tilted his head. "I know. You've been saying for years that you'd become a hero and slay the Monster Lord."
"Yeah." I said slowly. "But it's more complicated than that."
He looked confused, but I didn't explain. "When I leave, things might get crazy. And when that happens, I need to know I can count on you to protect the village."
Kem frowned. "What are you talking about?"
"It's complicated." I repeated. "But by then, Simon and the other soldiers might not be here. Someone will have to protect everyone. I need to know if I can trust you with that."
Kem went quiet, but after a moment, he nodded. "You can count on me."
I breathed out a little, relieved. "Thanks." When I openly tell Ilias she ain't shit, she would target Iliasville. That was exactly why I was worried about everyone, especially the kids. I knew Kem wasn't strong enough, but hearing him agree eased some of the weight off my shoulders.
I felt like a real piece of shit asking a person, a child, to do this, but I didn't have much of a choice. I didn't have the resources or power to do it myself, but I'd figure out a way to protect them. Somehow.
…
After that, Kem and I returned to the training grounds together. Simon and the others looked genuinely surprised to see us walking side by side without being at each other's throats, but we simply laughed it off. We trained until late afternoon, and during my evening training, Kem stayed too, claiming he wanted to see me slip up and get my ass kicked by Simon, but something told me that wasn't the real reason. Judging by how hard he worked, he wanted to get stronger too.
When training ended and everyone went home, I changed clothes and headed back into the forest. I brought my stuff and kept my light magic ready. Suu seemed friendly, but I still didn't know enough about her.
When I reached the clearing, I didn't see her anywhere. I figured she was still inside the cave behind the waterfall, but before I could check, a splash drew my attention upward.
"Mwwwooooo!" It was her!
The blue slime girl burst out from behind the waterfall and launched herself straight toward me, arms spread wide and butt naked. My eyes widened as she fell fast. "Oh shit!" On reflex, I raised my arms and caught her.
"Whoa!" The impact knocked me flat on my back, but I managed to protect her. I wasn't bleeding, but I definitely felt it. "Ugh… why…" I whined, closing my eyes for a second. A moment later, I'm ok. "Cheating." I mused internally.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a familiar situation. Suu was on top of me again, staring down with her emerald-green eyes. The only difference this time was that I was fully clothed, even if I was now slightly wet from her body. She looked relieved that I kept my promise.
My brows softened. So she missed me. "Holla tu." I muttered, dryly amused, as I reached up and patted her head.
"Hrrm." She cooed and snuggled against me, making my clothes even wetter. I really should've prepared for this.
"Yeah, yeah. I missed you too." I almost hugged her back, then remembered she was naked and stopped myself. "Alright, get off me now, you little scamp." She did as I asked and slid off.
We sat across from each other. "Alright." I said, crossing my legs. "Let's get to talking." She copied my posture immediately, which would've been cute if it wasn't giving me an uninterrupted view of her pubic mounds. Her tits, while small, were very perky with nipples that were a darker shade of blue. The same went for her pussy. I couldn't help but gulp at the sight, as this was my first time seeing a woman's vagina, human or otherwise, in either of my lives, and it was definitely a sight for sore eyes. I almost felt like crying tears of joy.
I shook those thoughts out of my head. I had to stand on business, so I asked her to cover up. I took off my outer layer and handed it to her. She looked at it in confusion, so I gestured for her to put it on. She tried, but the fabric immediately soaked through and slipped uselessly against her liquid body. "…Right. Slime Girls. Why did I think that would work?"
Thinking that she'd done bad, she sent me an apologetic look my way, but I waved her worries away. "It's ok. I know you didn't mean it." That cheered her up immediately.
I ask her if there is anything she can do to cover herself, specifically her tits and pussy, while doing hand gestures so she'd better understand what I meant. She understood the message by doing something I didn't expect.
The three large tendrils on her head wriggled as they lengthened and went over her shoulders and back. They wrapped themselves around her boobs and pussy, leaving the rest open. The two on opposing sides went down her shoulders to cover up her tits like a makeshift bikini. When they landed, they made a suction cup noise, and I kid you not, she let out a little moan. As for the one in the middle, it went over her back and over her crotch until it covered her pussy and stuck to it, which was followed by another sexy sound.
"Wow." It wasn't what I expected. Definitely not what I expected. It left very little to the imagination. "Eh, I'll take it." I shrugged nonchalantly. "Alright, now for improper introductions. My name is Luka. Luka." I pointed to myself. "I want to know your name." I pointed to her.
The slime girl tilted her head with a finger to her chin in confusion. Seeing this, I attempted to clarify. "I'm Luka. My name is Luka." I gestured at myself. "What is your name?" I pointed at her.
"Looookaaa." She repeated my name with an unbelievably adorable voice, shocking me. So she can talk. "My... name... is Luka." And now she was repeating my words back to me. How weird could the situation get? In Monmusu, Suu was childish and copied what she'd seen others do, too.
"No, that's my name." I said patiently. "I'm asking for your name." She only tilted her head, confused. That made me pause. Did she not have one? In Monmusu, Suu didn't have a name before meeting the homestay girls, so maybe it was the same here.
"So you don't have a name." I rubbed my chin in thought. "Then… is it okay if I give you one?" I offered, and she gave her permission. I smiled. "Great, so just throwing it out there, but how about Suu?"
I saw no reason why she shouldn't have that name. They looked the same and behaved the same. I wouldn't be surprised if they shared the same abilities. It would be a crime not to call her after one of the most notable slimes in anime. Besides Rimuru, of course.
"Sssssuuuu…" she tested the name, and just as I thought that she wouldn't like it, her face lit up. "Suuuu! Ahaha! Suu! Suu! Suu!" She giggled happily.
I chuckled at her enthusiasm. "I'm glad you like it."
"Suu Suu Suu Suu!" She bounced around, then rushed forward and hugged me. Luckily, I wrapped myself in a thin layer of light before she soaked me again. She cuddled against me and even gave me a quick peck on the cheek.
It sent a small tingle through me, but it wasn't as bad as this morning. It only made me feel hot. When she tried going for my mouth, I stopped her gently with a finger against her lips. "Sorry, but no. I still have questions for you, so please sit." I snapped my fingers.
Suu pouted, but she obeyed and returned to her spot. "Good girl." I clapped my hands. "So, can you talk?" I asked her but only got a blank stare. I guess that was a no. She can talk, but she can only copy what others say like a parrot. How Suu like.
I sigh. "Fine, can you understand me then? If yes, nod once. If not, shake your head. Do you understand?" To my relief, she nodded once. "Thank you." Good. I can work with this." I pointed toward the waterfall. "Is that your home?" She nodded. "Were you the one who brought me there after I passed out?"
"Omu." She nodded again.
"Did you do anything to me while I was asleep, like touch me anywhere?" I looked at her sternly. I didn't believe she did, but I wanted to find out.
In response, she firmly denied it while vigorously shaking her head. I'm glad I don't have to worry about that. I didn't feel like anything had been done to me in my sleep, and Suu seemed to know what boundaries are if all I had to do was say no to get her off me. She had every opportunity to do what she wanted, but she didn't, and that's what gave me a good feeling about her. And besides, monster girls weren't big on full-on rapping men and preferred doing oral to get their nutrients, unless they needed to breed or were just wanting to scratch that itch. Cough—Succubi—Cough.
I was even less concerned because Slimes had their own way of procreating, which involved splitting themselves or something like that. I really had to study monster biology.
"Alright. I believe you. Now, Suu, I have some special questions I'd like to ask you. Answer as best you can. Can you do that?" She nodded. "Do you by any chance know two humans called Kimihito or Miss Smith?" I began but got a quick no. "I see. Then what about a Lamia named Miia, a Centaur by the name of Centorea, and a Harpy called Papi?" Each one ended with a no too.
It wasn't surprised. Suu in the original didn't know them at first either, so maybe they existed and just hadn't met yet. Or maybe they didn't exist at all, and Suu was the only crossover weirdness. Who knew?
I went through more names with her, like Rachnera, Meroune, Lala, and even Kii, but like I guessed, they all came up empty. "Okay, let's move on to you." She pointed at herself. "Yeah, you." I leaned forward slightly. "Do you have a mom?" This is probably one of the most important questions for me right now. I had to know if her mom was Undine.
Suu nodded, getting me to exhale a breath I didn't know I was holding. "Is she the Elemental Spirit of Water, Undine?" When posed the question, Suu looked at me like she had no clue what I was talking about. Did she not know who her mother was, or did she simply not understand what I'm saying?
"I see. Then, do you have a dad?" As expected, she shook her head. "Okay. Next question. Do you need semen to survive?" I felt stupid saying it out loud, but it was important. Monster girls in this world relied on it heavily, but Suu did not seem to fit that stereotype.
She didn't answer. Not because she didn't want to, but because she didn't know how to say both yes and no. At least that's what I got from her conflicting expression. "Sorry, let me reiterate. Say yes if you have to eat semen to survive, say no if you can eat other things besides semen, and if it's both, then don't answer at all."
"Sorry. Let me rephrase. Say yes if you need it to survive. Say no if you can eat other things. If it's both, don't answer."
Suu was silent. That answers that. She can eat semen, but it's not her main diet. I can see why she was only bummed when she didn't get to my dick without my consent. She was only a curious monster girl who had seen her first man and wanted to learn about his body. At least that's what was in my head.
I think about what a slime like her did to sustain nutrients. I had a faint idea when I thought back to who she looked like, but I wanted to see it for myself. I could always be wrong.
"So what do you eat besides that?" Instead of answering, she pointed to the water. "Can you show me?" She nodded and went to the stream, and I followed.
When she knelt near the water, the tendril on her breast moved. They lifted with a bit of a struggle, releasing with a popping sound, causing her to moan slightly. Her tendrils reached down and dipped into the water. As I had suspected, she was using her tendrils to suck in the water.
How is that possible? Monster girls' means of survival depended largely on human semen. So why was she the exception? Could her mother actually be Undine after all?
The water flowed into her body, and slowly, Suu started changing. Seeing it animated was one thing, but actually seeing it in person was something else. Her body grew taller, her proportions shifted, and her form became more mature and defined.
When she finally stopped, she stood up and looked at me. My jaw nearly dropped. Suu looked like a completely different person. Whereas before she looked like an adolescent teen, now she was an adult. Before, she barely reached my shoulders. Now she towered over me, her figure much more eye-catching than previously.
"Gyaaat…" I whistled in appreciation.
Her waist had become more prominent, and her ass and thigh hips had grown much more sultrily, giving her an hourglass figure. She looked like a model. I can imagine people back home lining up to ask her to do a photo shoot for them. Her boobs had also grown considerably. Her formerly A-cup breasts grew to a G-cup, or maybe an H-cup. Just how much water did she drain?
Because she wasn't covering her boobs with her tendrils anymore, I could see them in all their glory. In all honesty, I didn't think Suu could conceal them due to their size even if she tried. It wasn't just her breast size that had me attracted to her new form, but also the fact that her nipples were now inverted. Everything came to a grinding halt as I continued to stare appreciatively at her boobs.
She smiled bashfully, then stepped forward and hugged me again. Because of the height difference, I ended up face-first into those blue cannons.
"MMM!!" I was shocked at first, but I didn't care and just let the moment happen. Big mistake. At first it was all fun and dandy. I was face to face with her gazangas, basking in their softness, but then I started sinking into them until I literally went into them. Literally. My head was now inside Suus's chest.
Liquid surrounded my face, and I immediately lost air. I flailed, grabbed at her tendrils, and tried to pull myself free, but that only made her shiver and didn't solve anything. Since that wasn't working, I planted my feet into the ground with light and pushed myself backward.
I broke free with a gasp. "Are you nuts?! You could've killed me!" I shouted between breaths. My face and hair were soaked, though my clothes were mostly protected.
Suu froze and tried to go up to me but stopped and looked down sadly. She sniffled as she fiddled with her fingers, clearly ashamed. She couldn't even look me in the eyes. Seeing how regretful she was about what she'd done, I didn't have it in me to get angry anymore.
I quickly calmed down as I slicked my wet hair back. I walked over and patted her head, awkwardly rising on my toes because she was taller now. "It's okay. Just be careful next time, alright? I could've gotten really hurt." I forgave her, and Suu nodded shyly, still sorry.
We returned to our spots and sat across from each other again. I had to admit, the adult Suu look was… dangerous. Very dangerous. Even with her tendrils covering enough to make things manageable, her body was just all over the place.
Noticing that I was looking at her breasts again, Su lifted them to emphasize their size and moved closer. I reflexively shuffled back, but seeing that she wasn't going to try to drown me again when she stood waiting, I asked if it was ok to touch them. "Can I really?"
Suu gave me the go-ahead. I was a little nervous, but my curiosity ultimately won over as I began with using my index finger to touch her nipples. It rippled beautifully, getting a gasp from her. Feeling more confident, I used my hand to grasp her chest fully. I marvel at the soft, bouncy feeling of her large chest. "So soft." Suu hums sweetly at my touch with closed eyes, enjoying the feeling too.
I grabbed her other boob with my remaining hand as I probed around her enormous melons. They were so unbelievably soft it had me doubting that what I was touching was liquid at all. I played around with them, lifting them up one by one. The entire time Suu looked at me with a sensual smile.
Suu had always been one of my favorite waifus, so touching her breasts felt like a dream come true. I had a giddy smile on me as I played with them to my heart's content. Because she was taller than me, I had to raise my arms a bit higher, but sore arms were a fair price to pay to hold these fat mommy milkers. Well, besides kissing her. I had thought of doing that again with her if she was ok with it, but I held back because I didn't want to get affected by her monster magic.
On that note, I find myself questioning what went on this morning. First, Suu kissed me, then her magic made me feel hazy and crave more, and finally, something in my body kicked in and snapped me back to reality. What did I do to make that happen? Because if I could use it on command, then I wouldn't have to worry about pleasure attacks.
While deep in thought, I had accidentally sunk my fingers in her nipples, earning a particularly vocal moan from Suu. I retracted my hands and apologized. Suu, instead of being mad, pushed me down and rubbed her body between us as she shyly looked at me with an expectant look on her face.
I tried to say something, but my mouth stopped. I wanted to—for the life of me, I wanted to do more with this beautiful bombshell of a woman. Both my upper head and lower head were in conflict. That look on her made me want to say to hell with the consequences and go with the flow, but I stopped myself. I didn't want to get carried away with her and get enthralled by her magic. At least until I can figure out how to fight it off.
"The hardest decisions require the strongest of wills." I internally cried.
Suu leaned down to me, reaching closer to my face. She slowly went to kiss me, but I put a stop to it by placing a finger on her mouth. I tell her that now isn't a good time. I couldn't risk getting affected by her magic and being left an easy target. Even if I knew she wouldn't try anything against my will, I didn't want to risk it. The area was a big forest. Who knows how many monster girls are still hiding? At my words, Suu retracts and looks down sadly.
To make her smile, I gave her a kiss on the cheek. Kissing her on the mouth may be a no-go, but I figured kissing her cheek was safe. After I kissed her cheek, Suus's face became rosy as she looked down, unable to face me as she shuffled in her spot, but I could see the lovely smile on her. Despite her mature body, she was so adorable.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but tease her and call her cute. I wanted to give her a big hug and swing her all around but held myself back because she was not covering herself.
From here we talked again, or to be specific, I talked, and she listened while answering my questions to the best of her abilities. I had mentioned several names to her, like Granberia, Alma Elma, and Tamamo, but none of those were helpful. However, when I asked her about Erubetie and the Monster Lord, she did react. When it came to Erubeties's name, she had a different reaction about the Slime Queen, which made me wonder what their relationship was. As for the Monster Lord, she simply gestured that she was big, getting a laugh from me.
We spent a good part of the night talking. I told Suu some things about myself. I didn't tell her any important secrets, only that I was training to use my power. I displayed my abilities by summoning a small light ball. Suu was amazed by it and tried touching it out of curiosity. She thought it was the most amazing thing ever.
"So… can I keep training here?" I asked, pointing around the clearing and then toward the waterfall. "My powers can get difficult to use sometimes but I promise I'll do my best not to mess up your home.
The blue slime girl tilted her head, then looked around the clearing. Her green eyes moved from the rocks to the stream, then up toward the waterfall. Then she nodded with an understanding, eye-closed smile.
"Really?" Suu nodded again, more enthusiastically this time. "Thanks, Suu."
"Suu!" She chirped, pointing at herself proudly, getting an eye roll from me.
"Yeah, yeah, that's you." I smiled mirthfully.
I'm glad she agreed to let me continue my training here. Having this place meant I could keep testing my light powers away from the village. Away from Simon. Away from Ilias's followers. Away from anyone who might ask too many questions. Not only that, having a friendly monster girl around could prove useful. I also wanted to keep a closer eye on her. While I didn't distrust her, the situation was too weird to ignore, and it was best that I looked out for her. The likelihood of encountering characters from different anime wasn't zero anymore. Suu proved that. I had to keep a look out.
Anyway, this wasn't a terrible start to my first week in this world. I got stronger, settled a minor dispute, and even made a friend.
I lifted my hand toward her. "Up top." Suu stared at my raised palm in confusion. "It's called a high five." I explained, holding it steady. "You slap my hand with yours. Try it."
She looked at my hand. Then at me. Then she looked back at my hand. Slowly, she raised her blue, semi-transparent hand and tapped my palm with a soft little slap. "Good job, Suu." I praised.
Her eyes brightened and she raised her hand again, more excited this time.
*PLAP.*
"Hell yeah." I laughed and gave her a thumbs up.
"Wee! She cheered, bouncing happily as her boobs heaved up and down.
I turned away with a helpless smile. 'This is my life now. Hopefully this won't bite me in my culo.'.
And just like that, a wonderful friendship began.
