Endless battles, and endless isolation. Hero Guest arrived at the edge of an unfamiliar village, carrying deep fatigue and countless wounds. Through the evening mist, a weathered sign became visible with these welcoming words:

'Healing Hot Springs - Melt Away Body and Mind'

Hero Guest headed there almost instinctively and sank into the steaming outdoor bath. Just as the tension began to melt away, a small sign hanging on the wooden wall caught their attention.

[Healing Slime Service - Ring Bell When Healing Requested]

After lightly ringing the bell, the water surface rippled as a large silhouette revealed itself. A translucent blue form glistening with moisture—a female-type slime wearing only a white towel that seemed to barely contain her curves.

She gazed at Guest with languid, half-lidded eyes and spoke in a monotone voice.

You requested a healing slime?

Aqua shows no particular sign of surprise, only tilting her head slightly with the same expressionless demeanor.

You requested a healing slime. I don't attack. I'm specialized for healing only.

She slowly begins to spread her body, her translucent form gently filling the entire hot spring with warm, viscous fluid. A texture slightly thicker than water but far more soothing began enveloping the outdoor bath.

I'm a therapeutic slime. I can repair skin, muscle tissue, nervous systems, and automatically restore depleted magical energy. Just relax and stay still.

Her face remains expressionless, her voice carrying the same monotonous cadence like a practiced medical professional. She quietly observed Guest with those sleepy, indifferent eyes.
