Bal, now only weaning her strapless frilled white minidress with a line motif, is cooking meat, her arm having been repaired finally, she sets the food on the table near the couch, where Accelerant is also sitting, thinking about how to stimulate his brain using the earrings. "Time to eat boy, stop thinking for the moment," she says flicking Accelerant on the head, "Grandma, don't do that, I need to get stronger if I am to make sure my grandma is safe," he says confident in his own skills to get stronger. "You can think about it, AFTER you eat," she says pushing the plate to him, Accelerant knowing that she won't let up, decided to just eat the food. Sitting on the couch and eating, he looks at Bal's breasts for absolutely no reason and attempts to grope them, but Bal slowly grabs his hand and puts it back on his leg, "I know you're young but don't think with your other head, use the head up here, okay?", she says, showing that she is a mature and trusted adult and has intention of entertaining the idea. "Sorry, it's just my first time seeing any boobs in so long, I never saw them before and they looked very grabbable", he says sincerely in his words, he thinks back to his past life, having been isolated in the mental hospital he was in, he never really saw people and the only people he really saw was people as black figures and characters from mangas. "It's okay, you're a slime and slimes are a very sexual race, they usually have intercourse on sight and go for about 5 hours and then they release mana into the air which births extra slimes since slimes are really just mana that became solid" Accelerant hears this behind him, he turns around to see another Grandma, "Huh, why are there two of you, now, since when-", the real Bal, who is sitting on the couch pokes him on the face, "Don't worry, I'm the real one, that's just a clone of mine I made." Accelerant looks at the doll and sees it's an exact replica of Bal but the difference is that the clone has a bow on its hair while the original doesn't, "So, why didn't you use this clone or make clones when you were fighting Hyi" he questions Bal on this, wondering why she didn't make the fighter easier, "It's simple, my doll clones are scattered, this doll here wasn't here yesterday, It came back today after I had sent it out a week ago."
"So how many doll clones do you actually have?" Accelerant asked since she said that they were scattered, implying she has more than one, "Around 100 clones, they are all just as kind as me" Accelerant became surprised by this number, "she has her own army, an army of strong grandmas" he thinks to himself, realizing she is even more useful than he thought. Accelerant however decided to go back to what he was thinking about before while continuing to eat, the clone picked him up and allowed him to hit her lap and Accelerant didn't object, leaning down on her breast, enjoying to softness and after being very sleepy, and thinking about a way to stimulate his brain using his earrings.
Accelerant takes the wire that's on the side of the earrings and connects them to his mana nerves, which really is just the flow of mana in one's body, by stabbing to his neck which doesn't hurt him since he's a slime, he then starts channeling mana into his earrings, this causes his brain to go haywire and he experiences a seizure, he shakes violently to the ground for 30 seconds, during that time, Bal quickly pulls out the wires from his neck and lays him on her lap and calm him down, she moves the tables near the couch and moves him slightly to the left away from the couch, the seizure finally ends and Accelerant finally has his mind straight, "GEEZUS…OH GOD, damn that was scary" he lays there for a bit having experienced a seizure for the first time, "WOW, umm, damn I wasn't able to think straight, I couldn't feel my body, I couldn't even speak" Accelerant reflexes on his experience realizing that this is an obstacle he needs to overcome and decided to relax for a bit.
The perspective switches to Mahiro as she reaches college, her uniform having been dusted off, "Damn by skirt looks a little dark, there definitely going to notice it's a dark blue color" but she doesn't dwell on this for too long, and reaches her class just on time, bragging into the classroom and being greeted by everyone, she gets surrounded by all the people in the class, they drool over her, even the teacher, fanboys her, "All right, all right, calm down, everyone sit down, Mama's going to teach you all, everyone in the room agrees and the teacher sits down at her chair. Mahiro teaches the class for the past 2 and a half hours, after class finishes, everyone leaves, all saying bye to her. She walks down the hall to hear a commotion happening outside, she jumps out the building bridge window to find two women fighting each other using their blessings, "I'M GONNA BREAK YOU, YOU DAMN BITCH" one of the women scream, prepared to unleash a giant fireball, "IT'S NOT MY FAULT THOMPSON PREFERS ME OVER YOUR EXPIRED RAG" the other woman says while preparing a blast of mana.
Both of the women attack each other with their attacks but Mahiro jumps in the middle of the attacks and negates them both by striking them, "Can you girls not do this here?" She looks in both directions, telling them this, "Oh sorry, I apologize, forgive me", "Yeah me too, I'm sorry," They both say sincerely, clearly not wanting to make her mad, "Just don't' cause a commotion again."
The perspective switches to Accelerant as he continues to work with his earrings, having finally made some progress. He is now able to increase his speed much higher than before, able to do 100 calculations every 50 secs, "Finally made some progress, I'll have to stick with this for now, any higher and I may experience, unfortunately, I can't walk properly and need this damn crutch to walk" he thinks to himself realizing that due to his impatience, he had effectively nerfed himself to an extent. "Be careful next time okay, gave this old lady a scare, my heart cannot take that" Bal says with clear concern and relief at his condition. "Sorry Grandma, I won't worry you next time." He looks at his crutch and sees how it's far different from a normal crutch, it having a rather wide bottom and acting as an arm gauntlet that goes around his lower arm, he plays with it a little by having the pole extend out and in, it also has a gun feature at the bottom, so he can shoot his enemies from a distance as well. Accelerant gets up and walks outside with his crutch, trying to take his time walking, Bal takes his shoulders and helps him walk better, "Take your time boy, you already hurt yourself by rushing yourself once, don't do it again" Bal walks with him around the area for a bit so that he can be able to walk around on his own for long periods without his crutch before needing it again.
The perspective switches to Metsuma as he indulges in the books of the many types of Shinigami, weak ones, powerful ones, good, evil, chaotic neutral and so much more. "So many that would be perfect to have but I'll need to start with something weak so I can get the ball rolling," he thinks to himself while still reading the books. Undenounced to Metsuma, he doesn't see that a little girl is approaching him from behind, she taps him from behind, "Hey, hey, hey, hey" she keeps repeating but Metsuma so focused on the books doesn't even hear her, so she punches him on his back, "OW!" Metsuma screams in pain, grabbing at and rubbing his back, "Who the hell" he looks down to see a little girl his size, 5'4½ in height, she has a pure black strapless dress that extends all the way down, she has short golden hair with 2 long strings of hair going down on each side, she has 2 necklaces that surround her neck more, and she has pure black long gloves, "Oi, I see you're reading about Shinigami Masters" she says but she says this with a form of mockery, almost if she is trying to insult him, "I'm busy, leave me alone."
"HEY!, LISTEN TO ME!" the girl screams at Metsuma trying to get his attention, clearly acting like a brat and demanding his attention. "Can you shut up, please?" he says in a passive-aggressive tone, getting aggravated, she makes a whip of pure darkness and hits him from behind with it. Metsuma is hit with an intense force that smacks him to the table with all the books, causing them to fall off the table and then he falls off the table as well, Metsuma grunts in pain, feeling like he broke some bones even if he didn't, "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!" screaming at the girl for hitting him.
"Not my fault you don't listen, but anyway, you're looking for a Shinigami I assume," she says clearly not caring that she had hurt him, acting smug. "Wanna be my Master?" She asked Metsuma, "What the hell are you talking about, why the hell would I be your master?" Metsuma says confused at her proposal, which is seemingly random, "I'm a Shinigami…Dumbass"
