It's happening! It's really happening!
Now I'm exploring the forest nearby the village!
Allow me to explain... ahem!
Since the last incident that's when I suddenly fell sick, I was visited by the three times to time.
They'll tell me about their adventure outside ,and one time, Tim bought me a green blob that's he said it was a baby slime.
It's sticky as expected of a green slime... But I wonder If I could make that with it?
And since then I've become interested in the slime of this world!
As soon as I recovered, I convinced my parents with my overwhelming cute act and some
.. ahem, charisma.
They allowed under one condition, the three must accompany me at all time.
It's easy than expected, the brothers are surprisingly easy to get along, especially Tim.
The forest is quite the walk, but thanks to my determination I reached there no problem...
"We're here, Uriel! This is the place where we bought the baby slime!"
Tim happily skip into the vast grass field after we made it out of the wood, swinging his wooden stick.
"I don't know there a beautiful field exist in a forest!"
Why do I surprised, of course it's a fantasy world after all.
"When do you plan to get off my back?"
My face heat up as I realized that I'm still on Jason's back.
I jump down and thanks him which he's nod.
I look around the space and spot something shiny, jumping in and out of the bush.
"What's over there?"
I point to the area.
The three turn their head, following my finger.
"Oh, that's the baby slime! "
Tim rushes and corner the poor baby slime.
"So this is the same one as you bought me the other day?"
"Exactly."
I crouching down to take a better look as it.
"B-Becareful sinc-"
Shey whisper.
"Ack!"
"Since it can jump onto your face..."
The green little thing jumped onto my face, sending be falling on my butt.
"Ta-Take it away, pwahk!"
Dirt are all over my face, I even got some in my mouth!!! GROSS!!
"HAHAH! Your face is dirty, Uriel! "
Tim laugh as Jason helping me with slime.
Ewwww, my face is all sticky! Like being covered in syrup.
But the it doesn't hurt or feel any itchy?
"Okay, Tim!! Other than that, what can it do?!!"
I get up, dusting myself and point at the slime on the ground.
"Nothing! You know, Shey! Tell her!"
Tim hides behind his brother.
"W-Well... Other than occasionally J-Jump onto people's faces, they are harmless."
Harmless? But It's the fantasy world! slime should be at least low leveled mob ? But to think that kid even considering them harmless...
"Their appetite is only small insect. They have a S-Sweet scent that lured insects and trap then with their sticky mucus."
Shey slowly gains his confidence as he is less likely to stutter.
"At one point, the villagers using them to get rid of the insects away from their crops."
"But the slime are ruining the crops with their sticky mucus, contaminating the goods."
I see... at one points people using them as a solution against the insects. Ironically, slime does more damage.
But the stickyness is what I'm looking for to make that wonderful stuff, it just... wasn't there, the stickyness.
"What about killing it?"
I ask.
"Well it's easy, you see? "
*plop*
Tim uses his stick poke the green blob.
It's popped like water balloon! It release a sweet but grassly smell too...
"See? It's so simple."
Tim wipes his nose, acting cool.
"Yeah, now my clothes are messy."
Jason grumble.
The mucus is splatter on the ground. I touch it .
It's the same as when it's alive.
"Mom going to be yelled at me for getting clothes dirty, It's hard to wash off you know, Tim?"
Jason try to wipes away all the slime remain on his shirt.
"This thing get stickier when under the sun, you better help me now!"
Jason chases Tim into the distance, leaving Shey to me.
It's get stickier under the sun?
Shey looks around nevously before starting a conversation.
"It's really hard to get it off once it exposed to the sun. "
"So much so that if too much of it dried on clothes. You might have to throw it away since cleaning isn't possible."
It's that sticky???? It's around like a reverse hot glue.
it's time for some experiment!
I look at Shey and hold his hand.
"I wanted to try something!"
Nervously, Shey give in.
We find and killed a bunch more slime and we dried some of them in under the sun.
"Alright, it only a matter of time now!"
Finishing off the last step, I make a makeshift sheet out of leaves found nearby.
"What are you planning to do after that, Uriel?"
Shey observe me saliently.
"Something been going In my mind for sometime now... I want to try it If it's work."
I give him somewhat ambiguous answer.
My real goal for this little outing is to recreate essence of modern handywork. No house without it! The greatest invention of mandkind!!
The duct tape!!!
Shey look at me awkwardly as I drown in my own fantasy.

"So this is what you guys been up to?"
Tim and Jason are back, getting some fruit back for us.
"Here, you must be thirsty, Uriel."
Jason give a bell shaped fruit. Blue with white stripes.
"Why that's face? It's not poisonous..."
Steam come out from his head as he reassuring me.
Well, I'm thirsty.
"Thanks"
I give him a smile which he turn away immediately... Rude boy.
"Yum!"
I take a small bite.
Suddenly, my body is showered with cool sensation follow by fruity smell much like apple .
Unbeknownst to be, I ate it leaving only the stem.
"What are you making, Uriel, Shey?"
Jason calmly ask, eating some red fruit.
"I-I Don't... Don't ask me..."
Shey's expression turn bleak.
Now every eyes etched onto me, like glue, waiting for an answer.
"Ah..."
Presentation! Presentation!
I used to do a presentation at a college no problem! But why these kids making me so nervous???!
"Ahh?"
Quizzical, Tim asked.
"It's a... Adhesive leave!"
A name that I thought at the last second, I said it!
So embarrassing! This kind of name will instantly be rejected!
"What does it do, Uriel?"
I took Tim's stick and then break it in two which surprised him.
I then take a dried slime pestered on thick leave I've prepared, slapping it on the broken stick, warping it together...
It must work!
But why these kid keep starring at me? Doubt showing on their face.
I continue to hold it for ten or more second to make sure it stick!
I slowly release my hold as the stick remained glued together...
"It's not broken anymore?"
I wave around the stick, hitting some stuff, even try to break it apart but the dried slime hold them together so well.
"What In the world you just did, Uriel!"
"How can stick is stronger than it was?"
Question overwhelm me...
It's working! I could revolutionize the basic crafting of tool and building with this slime duct tape!
But there is one problem...
The storage... Since It stickiness was enhanced by exposing it to heat. I'm afraid that If that somehow stick to the body, hair, or thing not supposed to-
"Ahhw, sorry I step on one of the... uhmmm, Adhesive leave?|
"Tim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I yell from the top of my lung...

Luckily Tim was wearing a shoe. He has sacrificed it since removal is not possible...
