My friend is a slime, so what?

Part 3: Snake on a cave.

Warning: The nameless reincarnated is growing close to the giant snake.

I KNOW! How is she soo fast?! Huff huff! I don't need to breathe, but I feel out of breath trying to catch up with her. Bouncing is not the fastest way to travel.

"Please, this is all a misunderstanding! Can you stop running?! There is a monster right ahead of us! One that is quite big!"

"LIKE I WOULD HEAR THE WEIRD SLIME THAT NEARLY EATS ME AND KEEP INVADING MY THOUGHTS!"

"I already told you I was sorry! Please stop running before we both get in trouble!"

"THE ONLY TROUBLE I WOULD BE GETTING INTO IF I DON'T STOP RUNNING IS BEING STUCK WITH A CREEPY SLIME THAT DOESN'T KNOW PERSONAL BOUNDARIES! WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS IS? SOME KIND OF WEIRD HENTAI FANFIC?!"

Warning: Warning entering Giant Snake perception range.

"OH NO! QUICK COME BACK!"

"I SAID I WON'T, YOU WEIRDO... oh, you weren't lying. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"

The echo of a loud thump makes my heart sink as a wave of desperation wash over my body. "Great Sage," quick! We need to reach her before it's too late!

Suggestion: By hopping in the air at a 45-degree angle and then releasing a water pressure of a total...

We don't have time to elaborate, "Great Sage," please go to the point!

Suggestion: ... Water jet.

Thank you! Now all I have to do is jump and Phuuuuuf! I send myself flying through the air as I use the water jet. I felt the rush of air slipping on my aerodynamic slime body as I soon saw the giant snake with the spider reincarnated, desperately fighting for her life. She is fiercely clinging to the snake as she bites with all her might, but the snake keeps slamming itself against her to shake her off.

I do not stop myself as I ram into the snake with my gelatinous body, throwing it off balance. I saw the spider girl falling off the snake as I quickly redirected the water jet to spin and then narrowed it to cut the head of the giant snake with an improvised water blade!

Please be alive! Please be alive! Please! Good, she is still alive... but what do I do now? How do I heal her? I don't have any healing spells or anything.

Announcement: The nameless reincarnated magicules levels have increased.

What does that mean? Eew! Why is she shedding skin? Oh, she is waking up.

"Ugh... My head, that was too close. A little more, and I would have ended as spider mush... Perhaps that slime isn't that bad. And if it keeps fighting for me, the odds of my surviving would increase significantly! Yes, it would be like having my own pokemon! I can just send him to fight my battles and become a master slime trainer! Wahahahaha! Then again... if we ever get separated, I would be in great trouble. Ugh, working as a team would be more beneficial since it would allow me to grow stronger in a safer way, like a party system in an MMO."

"Hmm... I don't want to sound rude, but I can still hear your thoughts."

"Oh! Right..."

"Please don't run away again."

"TOO LATE! AAAAAAAAAAH GET OUT MY HEAD!"

I sigh before asking Great Sage for pieces of advice on how to stop her from getting into trouble.

Suggestion: Consume the giant snake with predator and use your skill mimicry to turn into one to capture the nameless reincarnated.

That sounds kind of harsh, but it sure beats letting her run into new danger. Okay, let's do it, "Predator!" Munch!

Proficiency has reached the required level. Acquired skill Poison Fang LV5 - Acquired skill Dragon Scales LV1 - Night Vision LV6 has become Night Vision LV7 - Acquired skill Heat Perception LV4 - Poison Resistance LV2 has become Poison Resistance LV5.

Heat perception? Now that is handy! Let's go! Mimicry! Magic engulfs my entire body, and suddenly I grow pretty large and long. Wooh! This is quite a surreal experience. I just hope I don't squeeze her too hard by accident. Can you help me with that "Great Sage?"

Affirmative: I will aid you in controlling this new form.

Helpful as always. Now let's catch her before she gets in trouble! Aaaah! I am slithering quite fast! I can feel the wind going through my scales. I'm catching up with her! Come on, just a little closer!

"Uff! uff! All this running is leaving me out of fuel! At this point, I would collapse and be easy prey for that slime! But I should have lost him, right? just a peek behind me and... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! SNAKE, HUGE SNAKE!"

"I'm not a giant snake! I just shapeshifted into one!"

"THAT IS EVEN WORSE! WHY DO YOU KEEP TORMENTING ME LIKE THIS!?"

"Can you please stop? Is it all a misunderstanding!"

"NO, I WILL KEEP RUNNING UNTIL IT IS THE LAST THING I DO!"

With no other choices, I carefully catch her with my long serpentine body, wrapping around her small spider frame to make sure she doesn't slip away no matter how much she squirms.

"NOOO! I CAN'T END LIKE THIS! EATING ALIVE BY A WEIRD SLIME WITH A TRANSFORMATION KINK! WHAT KIND OF MESS UP STORY IS THIS?! NOW MY FACE WOULD END STAMPED ON ONE OF THOSE PERVERTED HOODIES! AAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"Please, just calm down and let me explain...."

Uh, "Great Sage," any advice on how to handle this situation?

Answer: No advice is available at the moment. Please try again later.

Don't bail on me like that "Great Sage"! "Great Sage"? "GREAT SAGE" OI!?
