The "book" laid on the grassy patch; thinking to itself, "Is my ability really a curse?" "It's a part of me, it's not poison, virus nor illness, why is there a need to cure it? Isn't everyone unique? Maybe, I am just a bit more unique than others..." Two small ink blobs began to form on the cover of the "book".
Past memories began to flood its mind, both bad times and good times. Like when it needed to use the ability to survive in the wild after being chased away from its home and when the it gained its master approval by using the ability. The patting, the hugs, the random kissing and praising and delicious food all reminded it of its non judgemental, all accepting master. The pain, the hurt, the abandonment, the isolation and discrimination made the slime lose trust in fellow monsters.
"I have to think of something to help my master." The loyal monster promised itself. After a few moments of inner struggle, the "book" steeled itself. "This world is cruel and only the fittest can survive." With that thought in mind, it began to form plans to fulfil its master's request- to copy the inventory records.
The small community of purple slimes begin to bring out trays of dishes- stir fried chilli with spirit heart grass, tempura spirit heart grass, spirit heart grass soup, kimchi preserved spirit heart grass, glass noodles with spirit heart grass, triple boiled spirit heart grass essence soup, spirit heart grass bun, spirit heart grass vegetarian pizza, spirit heart grass pie, spirit heart grass quiche, spirit heart grass egg fried rice, spirit heart grass jelly, spirit heart grass soda cake, spirit heart grass cola, spirit heart grass 100 years aged wine.
Lutini's heart ached. So many dishes , but all of the dishes are spirit heart grass! Even if it is in season, it is too much! Spirit heart grass here! Spirit heart grass there! There are so many other wild beasts here, why are they eating on vegetable? Even if it is just vegetable why only one kind of vegetable? Spirit heart grass! I hate you! But I will conquer you for my master! Bitter tears begin to flow down the cover.
The elder slime noticed the tears and shouted to the villagers enthusiastically, "Our fellow brother is moved to tears by your actions!"
Lutini felt helpless against the orgy of spirit heart grass dishes. It just has to numb its feeling and get it over with... with that, its tears dried and mind went blank. The "bookmark" instinctively shrink, as if trying to avoid tasting the food.
