107 Chapter 107 - The Mimi Tes (1/2)
Gren's nighttime trip to the brothel to test out his condoms didn't go as planned.He didn't even get to test them all out properly and he ended up bringing one of the women home with him.It was a really stupid idea but Gren didn't think about the consequences before running his mouth off.There was no way to hide his actions now.
Jade seemed excited when she saw Gren opening the gate to the guild.”Stop moving, you're going to make me drop you.What has you so riled up?”
”Sorry.I just can't help myself.It doesn't feel real but I'm actually going to become your wife.I've dreamed of this moment for months now.”Months?
”What do you mean?You've been wanting to get married for months?”The other alternative was one that Gren didn't want to think about.
”Yeah.Ever since I first saw you, I was interested.Watching you run around and lift things every morning became a daily ritual for me.”It was the second possibility, after all.Gren picked up a stalker!”The days where you were out on a request were difficult for me and that's how I realized that I fell in love with you.I didn't know how to approach you but you came for me instead.”
Stalkers were dangerous and Gren always heard horror stories about them in Hollywood but Jade didn't seem bad.She was just an innocent girl that had a crush on him.”Well, you don't have to hide and watch me from the shadows anymore.Once my friend checks you out then you'll be free to stay by my side for the rest of your life.”
Gren let her down inside and helped her sit down in the kitchen.”Wait here while I go get my friend.After that, I'm going to get some sleep, but you can join me.”Jade held on to his arm when he tried to walk away.”I'll be quick.Don't worry.”Only after Gren kissed her did she let go.
———————————
Mimi was awake and in the main hall so it was easy to find her downstairs.Gren didn't think about it until now but he never did see her sleep.It wasn't that she was a night owl since she was even awake in the middle of the day.”Hey, Mimi, you got a moment?I've got somebody I want you to look into real quick.”
”Ooo, who are we going to be digging secrets out of today?”Mimi hopped off from the statue; splatting against the ground before scurrying towards Gren and latching on to him.”Ehhh, you do know that they're going to kill you once they wake up, right?”
”I'm still trying to figure out how to tell them so that I don't get killed today.”Gren was used to Mimi looking through his memories already.”Do you think that they will accept the truth if I tell them it?About my second past, I mean.”
”I was about to say that the truth about your trip to the brothel would still get you killed.”Mimi was on top of Gren's head now so he started walking upstairs.”I really wish that I could show them it from your perspective.That Latoya woman's butt stretched so wide that I thought that it would tear her in two.”
”Please don't tell them about things like that.I'm trying to keep things more plain with them so that they don't get freaked out.”Gren would hate it if his sexual desires made his wives avoid him.
”They're the ones missing out.Your movements during sex are simple and unskilled, if I'm going to be honest, but it's much more interesting than what most people do in bed.”Mimi had been stealthily going through the memories of anybody that entered the store so she could be considered an expert on just about anything.”Just using Rodge as an example, he moves slowly on top of Rumi and then, after he gets off once, it's over.He's above average down there but he hasn't been able to give Rumi an orgasm even once.”
”Is that why she isn't happy with him?”The two weren't exactly fighting but there was no real spark between them.
”No, that's because the only thing they have in common is that they like alcohol.With Rumi being unable to drink alcohol, she doesn't have anything to talk to him about.”Rumi slapped Gren on the cheek.”I almost forgot.If you want my help this time then you have to give me something.I'm not going to ask for the harvester yet but I want something that I can drive.”
”Yet... so you will ask for it one day.It'd have to be something small since you've never earned any points.”It's not like she wasn't helping out; on the contrary, her ability to read memories and thoughts was important to the guild now.”If you ever change your mind and want a gun then I'll take you on missions.It might be fun to go on one with just the two of us.”
”I won't change my mind and you need to stop thinking that I'm a child already.”It was hard for Gren to see her as an adult due to her child-like voice and small body.”I'm not offended about it but it feels weird since my descendants were all older than you.”
”You have descendants?”Gren wanted to learn more about Mimi since she was still a mystery to him.
”I used to.They're either dead or missing now thanks to terrible people in the past.That's why I follow you around.You're different from everybody else.”Mimi wrapped her tentacles around his head.”You're weird but you treat us all like people and I really appreciate that.”
The conversation took a strange turn when Mimi suddenly changed the topic.”Don't take this the wrong way but if the two of us are still alive when the world is like you want it to be then I'd like to give birth to your child.”Did she have feelings for him?Gren was wondering that before getting whacked on the head.”I said not to take it the wrong way, you idiot.I just think that you would still be able to love a child that looked like me.I want to have children again since those were the best days of my life but I can't bring them into a world that will kill them because they're different.”
”If you change your mind and want to have a child then I'll do everything in my power to protect them.”Mimi was the easiest to please woman he knew of and her shape-shifting ability meant that she could make herself beautiful for him so taking her as a wife would be fine.
”In just what way am I easy to please?I killed my last husband, you know.”That was news to him.”Then again, I only married him to get close enough to kill him in the first place.You can still read about it in historical documents.”
”If you thought that he deserved it then he probably did.There's nothing that can escape your sight, after all.”Gren trusted her judgement because the memories wouldn't lie.
”We're almost there.We can talk about this later and I'll properly think about your offer to give me a child.”He'd accept her decision regardless of what it was.”It might take a while to come up with an answer.”
As the two reached the kitchen, Jade looked at Gren's head with a surprised look on her face.”It's a slime.”
”A slime!?You're the slime!”This was the first time that Gren saw Mimi react like this but he couldn't stop her from grabbing Jade and shaking her.”Your whole family is sliiiiime!”
”Mimi, stop!”Gren could only grab her core since the rest of her body was able to escape from his arms.”I don't think that she meant anything bad by it.”
”I know she doesn't but I'm not a slime!Slimes don't even have proper thoughts!They just think about eating all day long!”She was still being loud and Gren could hear something from upstairs.”Ah.I've done it.”Mimi struggled to get free from Gren.”Quick, let go before she gets here.”
”It's too late.”Gren could see the source of the noise that was coming from upstairs.On the staircase was a tired-looking Jessica holding two crying toddlers.”Hello, honey, I'm home.”
”You've got five minutes to quiet them down and explain what's going on.”Gren wasn't a religious person but right now he felt like praying to his mother for help.Mimi picked up the two toddlers and started rocking them while making soothing sounds.It was surprisingly successful since the babies stopped crying in a short amount of time.”You still haven't told me what's going on.”
”It's like this...”
