Slimantha walked along the red brick road, her steps casual. Mimi walked beside her, the golden woman’s golden shoes lightly tapping against the red bricks of the road. As they walked, they passed by a multitude of red brick lampposts lining both sides of the road. Overhead, the moon shone brilliantly in the night sky.

Mimi stopped, her gaze going upward to the moon. “Tonight is a lovely night,” she said. The long golden locks of her hair gently swayed in the pleasant breeze. Her golden skin glistened in the lighting.

“It is.” Slimantha stopped too, the brown eyes of the tan-skinned woman going up to the moon. “The moon is beautiful tonight.” Her eyes sparkled, and a smile formed on her face. She looked at Mimi and smiled again. Mimi looked at her and smiled back.

Slimantha glanced to the side. Then her brown eyes returned to the golden woman. “Want to head to the park?” she said.

“The park?” Mimi brought her right hand to her golden lips as she contemplated the suggestion. Her golden eyes lit up, and she smiled. “Sure, let’s go.”

The two women stepped off the red brick road and headed into Spider-Lily Park. The lush green grass gently crushed underfoot as the pair walked. They passed a tree, a collection of red spider lilies blooming around it. A short while later, they stopped in front of a pond. A red brick lamppost stood by the pond, providing lighting. Around the lamppost, more red spider lilies bloomed.

Mimi stepped up to the pond and then crouched down. For a moment, she groped through the grass at the pond’s edge. Then her golden eyes sparkled as she took a small flat stone into her right hand. She stood up and then skipped the stone across the pond’s surface. “Not bad, right?” she boasted of the skipping.

“Not bad at all.” Slimantha giggled before smiling at Mimi. Her brown eyes then went to the red spider lilies growing around the lamppost. “Did you really have to go with red spider lilies for this park though?” She crouched down beside the spider lilies and then prodded one.

“What’s wrong with red spider lilies?” Mimi crossed her arms and cocked her head to the side. “I’ll have you know they are very lovely plants.” She shifted her weight onto her right leg.

Slimantha stood up. “It is just … you know …” She turned to Mimi. “They kind of have that association with death.”

Mimi lowered her arms and sighed. She looked at Slimantha. “They are very lovely plants. Some silly death association does not change that.” Her gold eyes went to the spider lilies, and she smiled. Her attention shifted back to the pond, and she picked up another flat stone. “Watch this. It will be even better than last time.” She skipped the stone even more spectacularly than the last.

Slimantha giggled, her right hand going to her lips. She then stretched her arms and yawned. Her eyes went up to the night sky. It was pretty late. She looked down to the lush grass. She reached her right hand forward, and a ball of viscous blue materialized in front of her. It swelled up. She had summoned a plump slime.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

“Why a slime?” Mimi said. Her golden eyes were on the bulbous creature.

“Chair.” Slimantha plopped her shapely backside down upon the squishy thing. It deformed under her weight.

“Chair?” Mimi cocked her right eyebrow. Her golden eyes were on the slime under Slimantha. Her gaze shifted to Slimantha’s face. “I want a slime chair too.”

Slimantha giggled again. “Here you go.” She reached her right hand to her right and summoned a second plump blue slime.

Mimi’s face lit up, her golden eyes going to her slime chair. She stepped up the bulbous creature. It bounced a bit, its body jiggling with the movement. She about faced and then sat back. Her own shapely backside pressed down upon her own slime chair. The slime deformed under her weight. She leaned back, relaxing. Her gold eyes were on the pond. Slimantha was at her left.

“Comfy, right?” Slimantha said, glancing at Mimi.

“Very comfy.” Mimi smiled. Then she looked at Slimantha. “So how did you meet that hero?”

“Hero?” Slimantha blinked. Her brown eyes went to Mimi.

“You know,” Mimi said. “Samuel the Hero From Another World. That hero.”

“Oh, that hero.” Slimantha blinked again and then brought her right hand to her chin. “I saved him from a bear in the forest.”

Mimi nearly giggled herself right off of her slime. Her golden eyes went back to Slimantha. “So that hero got saved by a maiden.” She smiled. “Well, you do make for a powerful maiden.” She giggled again.

Slimantha shrugged. “Well, his magic sword didn’t seem all that magical. Also, it kind of got pilfered by a bird.”

Mimi’s jaw dropped. “Wait. If he lost his magic sword, then what sword was that in his sheath?”

“Sword in this sheath?” Slimantha blinked. “Oh, right. That sword.” Her brown eyes went to Mimi. “That is a different sword.”

“Obviously,” Mimi deadpanned. “I suppose,” her golden eyes went to the pond, “this means we have a missing magic sword on our hands.” She sighed and then looked at Slimantha. “Actually, join me for lunch at Bill’s tomorrow. I’ll invite Black too.”

“Sure.” Slimantha yawned and stretched her arms. “Want to head back?”

Mimi nodded and then stood up. The plump blue slime she had been sitting on bounced behind her. She glanced back at it and blushed. She reached back and felt her own backside. “Did it leave any slime on me?” she said, turning away from Slimantha.

Slimantha looked her over. “No, you are good.”

“Thank goddess.” Mimi sighed and then turned to face Slimantha. “Guess I should have thought about that before sitting on that thing.” She brought her right hand to her lips and giggled. Her golden eyes sparkled.

Slimantha stood up and stretched her arms. She yawned again. “Let’s head back,” she said. She looked at Mimi and smiled a lovely smile.
