(Marshalanime does not own Naruto or Monster Musume No Iru Nichijou)
"Ugh, bland" Naruto remarked after taste-testing a stew Miia was making.
"But you just said it was too strong" Miia said as she turned her head to look at the blond next to her.
"But you added too much water. At this rate your stew will become a thin soup" Naruto told her. "You have to test the flavor while you cook" the blond reminded the girl you had apparently forgotten or didn't bother to learn judging by her reply of "For real?".
While those two were over by the stove Papi was over on the other side of the room clinging to Centoria as the centaur polished her sword and asking her to play a game with her.
"Test the flavor, huh?" Miia softly said as she reached out to pick up the lid covering the pot while Naruto started to skim through the cooking book. Cooking turned out to be harder than she anticipated. However, she quickly forgot about that little concern when she found not her stew but a blue/green blob sitting in the pot and staring up at her.
Hearing Miia's garbled screams the three present in the room jerked their heads around to see, to their surprise, that Miia was being drowned by the green blob that had enveloped her head.
"What on Earth was that? It got away before we could catch it" Naruto asked after they managed to rid Miia to the creature. Due to it lacking a solid body managing to capture it was more difficult than they'd hoped. Now they'd moved Miia to the living room and laid her down on the sofa to let her rest up, covering her with a blanket and laying a damp towel over her forehead.
"It's a slime!" Centoria told him.
"Slime? Like the kind you see in games?" Naruto asked. He may not have grown up in this world but thanks to Hiromasa he was quickly caught up with popular video games and TV shows, or at least caught up enough to stay in the loop.
"There are still several liminal species that are strangers to human society. That slime you beheld is one such species" Centoria told him.
'That's a relieve. For a second there I thought Miia created it with her cooking' Naruto thought to himself.
"But fear not!" Centoria said as Kasumi came into the room with a handful of new towels with Sunda in step behind her. Drawing her sword the centaur struck as she declared "I shall protect you, Milord! I swear it on my blade!". Tacked onto the end of that declaration was a glanced over remark from the woman that her sword was just a replica.
"Well aren't you all fired up" Sunda commented with a whistle. It was a little refreshing to see it from this angle, normally Centoria's ire was directed at her for drinking too much blood.
"Hey, why don't we forget about that thing and play a game? Papi's tired of playing with herself!" Papi remarked as she hopped onto Naruto's back, slinging her wings over the blond's shoulders as she did so.
Papi's little habits like this were a surprise at first but Naruto had already gotten use to the sudden 'attacks' and just responded with playful chukles when the girl threw herself at him as he told her "Sorry. Not right now Papi". Though as the dejected harpy slid off his back a thought crept into the blond's head, "Where's Akko?". Normally Akko was the one who played with Papi when she was in the mood to play video games and yet the girl was no where in sight.
"She said that she wasn't about to deal with this shit and then locked herself in her room. I doubt we'll be seeing her until everything's calmed down" Sunda told him with a flip of her wrist.
"Ah, I see..." Naruto said. Looks like they couldn't expect her to help out then.
'...Everyone's... so energetic...' Kasumi thought with a warm smile as she knelt down to switch Miia's old towel with a new towel. Turning to the washbasin on the coffee table behind her Kasumi was about to ring out the old towel when the contents of the pan erupted into a tower of jiggling slime.
Alerted by Kasumi's scream Centoria and Naruto immediately moved into action. Raising her blade Centoria swung with conviction as Naruto jumped over her with a summer-salt to bring his heel down on the creature. Both of these strikes proved ineffective as the slime's body merely contorted and shifted in response without yielding to their might.
"How...?" Centoria questioned as she backed off and Naruto landed on the floor beside her and making an attempt to shake the smile from his foot and lower leg. "Am I powerless to stop it...!? Jeez, slimes are the absolute lowest-level bad guys!" Centoria proclaimed in shock as she stared with wide eyes at her slime covered sword.
"Are you comparing this to video games!?" Naruto all but shouted out. Though before they could continue with this conversation the slime that they faced came to loom over them and they were forced onto the defensive as it struck.
A little while later.
"Ugh... Is everyone alright...?" Naruto asked as he picked himself off the floor while doing his best not to slip over his slime coated body. Seriously though, who knew fighting a slime would be so difficult? Just trying to hit it it like trying to hold water in a strainer. Perhaps a rasengan could deal with it? Then again, if he messed up with the rasengan then he'd have a destroyed living room to add to his list of current problems.
"Y-Yes, Milord... I managed to evade it...!" Centoria told the blond, being in a similar position to him.
"Kasumi's still breathing... So I guess we're fine..." Sunda remarked as she tried and failed to wipe slime off of her chest, the sticky liquid clinging fiercely to her full body suit. Next to the leech was Kasumi, laying on her back in a daze as her chest moved up and down with each deep breath she took.
"I never fancied a slime would be so strong...! Bleh... My entire body's dripping..." Centoria remarked as slime stretched between her fingers. Glancing over at Naruto the woman raised an eyebrow when she saw his face flushed red, "Milord?".
"I... Uh...! I-I'm going to go take a quick shower!" Naruto stammered out as he attempted to tear his eyes away from the three slimed girls. Upon finishing his comment the blond jumped up to his feet and turned to head for the shower, though he did pause briefly to stare dumbfoundly at Papi who was playing the Wii like nothing had happened, not a drop of slime on her.
Sitting under the spray of water coming from the shower-head Naruto thought about what they should do next as he washed his hair. Dealing with the slime as they were wasn't going to work. They could try to call Ms. Smith but there's no guaranty that she'd be able to do anything. Kushina might be their best option. Naruto couldn't think of anything that could escape her chakra chain barrier, but then that would lead to them having to explain to the girls that they weren't from this world. He knew that he'd have to explain that eventually if he was going to marry any on them but was he really ready to talk about that? How would they even react?
"Milord...?" Centoria's voice cut through Naruto's thoughts. "Err... would it be... all right...?" Centoria asked as she stood on the other side of the fogged glass door. She seemed flustered about something but Naruto just ignored that and told her it was fine without a second thought. "R-Really... then...! Pardon our int-" Centoria was saying as the door slowly slid open only for Sunda's voice to cut her off as she flung open the door.
"Oh, quite pussyfooting around it and go in! We're coming in!" Sunda announced with a toothy grin as she barged into the room without a shred of clothing on her, baring her pristine, white flesh for all to see. Behind her were Centoria and Kasumi with surprised/horrified expressions as they attempted to cover themselves with towels.
"H-Have you no shame!? Cover thy body at once!" Centoria shouted at the woman as Kasumi's face turned bright red and her eyes started to swirl around with steam coming off of her.
"Ehh? What's the point in doing that? You can't wash yourself if you're covered up" Sunda remarked with a glance back at Centoria.
"Wh-What's going on!?" Naruto, after finding his voice, shouted at the three as he stared at the beautiful sight of them.
"Y-You misunderstand Milrod! Our intentions are pure!" Centoria blurted out as Kasumi started to wobble back and forth. "The slime might return and attack at any moment! So I cannot leave you unprotected, Milo-AHH!?" Centoria was telling him when the sensation of Kasumi landing on her took her by surprise.
"...I-I can't... I can't do this..." an all but unconscious Kasumi remarked as she leaned over Centoria's back, her embarrassment leaving her unable to stand up on her own.
"Well they can say whatever they want. I'm here to get all of this slime off and I'm not going to wait when I don't have to!" Sunda told the blond as she walked forward, intending to use the shower as well. Seeing her come over Naruto started laughing nervously. Life was great.
"M-Milord... I'm sorry to put you out like this" Centoria apologized for having the blond wash her. After everyone calmed down they put Kasumi in the bath to help her cool off and currently Sunda was helping her wash her hair.
"N-No, you don't half to apologize. This is the least I can do to help..." Naruto remarked as he kept his back to the bath and his eyes away from Centoria's upper-body as he scrubbed her flank with a brush. Well, at least he didn't have to go near any sensitive parts like he did with Miia the day before. "You can't reach back here can you? How do you usually wash yourself?" Naruto asked the woman. Maybe a little small talk with lighten the atmosphere.
"I use a long-handled brush. It's just that the slime wouldn't com off, so... OOOOO?!" Centoria was telling him, trailing off at the end as she found it embarrassing to say that she asked him to wash her. Her voice however hiked up rapidly at the end when she felt the blond's hand move somewhere it shouldn't. "Wait! Milord! Th-That's my...! You need not wash around my tail!" Centoria blurted out as she jerked her beat-red face over her shoulder, her towel dropping down to the floor in the commotion. At first Naruto didn't seem to understand and so Centoria tried to further clarify by saying in a much softer tone "Th-That area... it's... uh... very sensitive...".
Stopping the brush at the base of her tail it took the blond a moment to figure out why she was so flustered, and when it did register his face turned a shade red similar to Centoria's. "S-Sorry!" Naruto quickly apologized as he pulled his hands away. With his hands flailing about the blond suggested that he'd just wash a different place, however the location his hands found themselves in in their panic was around Centoria's large breasts.
For a moment the two of them were frozen in that embarrassing position, their brains working to process it, and then they were snapped out of it by a loud, long whistle. "The aggressive type huh? Nice" Sunda remarked, a shit eating grin on her face and her tits pressing up against the side of the tub as she leaned over it.
"Th-That's far... far to bold..." Kasumi meekly said as she sat next to Sunda, her body submerged up to the neck and her hands covering her face from the mouth up, the sight being too much for her to handle uncensored.
Remembering that they weren't alone here the two blonds quickly moved away from one another, their embarrassed blushed growing ever deeper.
After that little mishap the two of them hopped into the large bath with Sunda and Kasumi. If you were to go from left to right it would be Naruto, Centoria, Sunda, and Kasumi.
'It's no use. This whole situation is nothing but awkward' Naruto thought as him, Centoria, and Kasumi sat in uncomfortable silence. Honestly, it was a bit surprising at how unaffected Sunda was by all of this. "S-So why do you think the slime attacked us to begin with?" Naruto finally asked after this silence went on for a bit.
"Water... I remember it was in search of water. First, it hid inside Miia's stew pot, then it came for the water basin, and finally it targeted Kasumi, who's body is coated in mucus, during the fight" Centoria said, with Kasumi blushing at the reminder. "This is merely conjecture, but mayhap it's always in search of water?" the centaur suggested.
"If it's after water then it's a good thing it hasn't found the bathroom yet!" Sunda commented with a big grin, only for the four of them to stiffen up when a droplet of slime hit the top of Sunda's head.
"The slime!" Centoria yelled out as her and the others lumped up and turned their heads to the ceiling where said slime was looking down at them from. "When did it return?!" the blond centaur questioned as she instinctualy reached for her sword, only for her hand to go between Naruto's legs due to her not having her sword and his close proximity to her at the moment.
'That's not your sword!' Naruto mentally shouted as her hand wrapped around him, unable to voice his thoughts due to his teeth reflexively grinding together at the new sensation.
As the blond stumbled back Centoria calmly brought her hand back and stared at her open palm. It took a moment for her to realize what it was she grabbed and when she did her cheeks lit up and she let out a panicked shout as she reared up on her hind-legs. Being in the bathtub she quickly lost her footing on the wet tiles and fell over backwards, knocking herself out.
"Cerea, are you alright?! Ghua!?" Naruto asked as moved over to the downed centaur only to be grabbed by a slime tendril and yanked away.
"NARUTO!" the two conscious girls called out as the blond was lifted up to the creature's face.
The three of them were in a panic, worried that the worst case scenario would happen but just then the slime's body shifted and wiggled until in an instant the mass of slime exploded out. Where there was once merely a mass of goop now stood the visage of a woman, her curvaceous body was made up of transparent blue slime, her long hair was green slime with one tendril coming up in an arc on top of her head, two extending down her back and past her wide hips, two framing her face, and a strand came down between her emerald eyes and connected back up with her right bangs. Witnessing this turn of events left the three of them dumbfounded as they simply watched the slime girl move towards the blond who was still bound by slime, and then, she hugged him.
"Uuuuhh... what are you...?" Naruto questioned. An hour ago they were throwing everything they had at this girl and now she had her arms wrapped around him.
Without warning the slime pushed the blond onto his back before pushing her full tits into his face. After giving the trio another shock and nearly suffocating the blond the slime then sat up, her legs straddling the young man's hips with only a loosely fitted towel between her and Naruto's flesh.
"T-That was fast!" Naruto blurted out.
"Th... That's too fast...!" Kasumi shouted as she stood up, shaking up the bathwater as her long body shifted around just below the surface.
"Hahaha! What a great show! Keep it up!" Sunda called out as she held her sides due to the laughter. Now that the tension and danger had passed it was hard to take this situation seriously.
Of course the slime girl just continued to defy their expectations as she picked up the brush Naruto had used on Centoria earlier and was now brushing his chest.
Calming down Kasumi sunk back into the water as her and Sunda leaned over the side of the tub in order to get a closer look at the spectacle. "...She... She's washing you...?" Kasumi asked with a blink or two.
"I'm getting the feeling that this girl is quite all there" Sunda remarked as she propped her elbow on the tub and rested her head in the palm of her hand.
"This isn't a show you know" Naruto grumbled as he turned his head away from them, his cheeks flushing a light shade of pink. Having these two watching him get scrubbed was a little embarrassing if he was honest. Looking back as Kasumi and Sunda the blond was beginning to ask for help getting this slime girl off of him only for his words to die in his throat as his arm was pulled between her tits. "Wh-What are you doing!?" Naruto asked as his head jerked up to stare at the translucent girl, only for her to ignore him and move on to scrubbing his chest with her breasts.
"I don't think she understands us" Sunda remarked as she watched this girl use her entire body to wash Naruto. Next to her Kasumi was adverting her gaze, though the sound alone was getting her flustered.
"...I think... I think that she's... just imitating what we've... been doing... Don't you... think...?" Kasumi suggested.
"Imitating?" Sunda asked as she turned her attention to Kasumi.
"Y... Yes..." Kasumi began as she turned to look at Sunda. "Think about it... everything she's doing... she must have seen us do it... and now she's copying us... maybe... I guess..." Kasumi reasoned. It was the kind of behavior one would expect from a young child who sees their parents doing something. So it wasn't unreasonable to assume that that was what the smile was doing.
"If that's the case then she definitely put her own spin on it!" Sunda remarked with a toothy grin. "Isn't that right stud!? Egh!?" Sunda asked Naruto as she turned back to the show, only to freack out when she saw that the blond's head had slipped into the slime's chest and was currently drowning, much to the ignorance of the happy slime holding onto him.
Acting quickly both Sunda and Kasumi reached out to pull the blond away from the slime, resulting in all four of them falling into the bath with a splash.
Walking down the steps Akko was aiming for the fridge and a fresh bottle of blood substitute that was within said appliance. She was hungry and given that she'd been locked up in her room for the past few hours she figured that everyone had taken care of the slime by now. Ignoring her growling stomach the mocha skinned girl passed by the living room on her way to the kitchen, only to do a double-take and immediately took a few steps back to stand in front of the entrance way.
"Soooo, what did I miss?" the girl asked as she joined the others in watching Papi and the slime girl, who was now flat chested with thin hips, playing a Wii game as they made large motions and slid back and forth in front of the TV.
"Nothing too important" Naruto told her.
