315 Chimera's Holy Mother

[Day 196]

"Mommy…!"

"Mama…"

"Mother…"

Huh?

As I was sleeping peacefully, the voice of three of my children woke me up. Vudia, Ailine, and Aarae were resting at my sides, with Ailine resting over my legs. Their plump cheeks and shiny eyes were very cute, what a nice way to wake up…

"Aaah~ Good morning my little princesses and prince"

"Ah! Mommy woke up…!" Said Vudia, as her single golden eye shined even brighter than before, she had grown her brown hair a little bit more, now reaching bellow her neck and shoulders, the small white horn in her forehead had grown a few centimeters as well. 

"Mooom… I want cupcakes…" Said Ailine, acting like a spoiled little girl, her two rainbow-colored eyes that resembled the most beautiful and refined of pearls shined brightly in various colors, creating their own aura. Her other features had remained mostly the same since she was born, as Slimes don't age or grow hair, so whenever she shapeshifts into an adult, is when she will feel like one.

"Mother, how is your belly?" Asked Aarae, as he gently caressed my belly with his delicate pale-white hands that resembled those of a beautiful maiden instead of a boy.

"Aah~ The baby is fine, Aarae, although now that you woke it up, it's hungry… Oh, and the little princesses want cupcakes? Well, perhaps I could accept if I receive some kind of bribe… Perhaps some little kisses could do~"

Ailine and Vudia looked at each other as they immediately began to shower me with their peeks over my cheeks and forehead.

"I love you, mommy…! So, make cupcakes! Please? Chu" (Ailine)

"Chu, chu! Cupcakes!" (Vudia)

Aaah… My little girls are so cute… however.

"There is one that isn't cooperating it seems… Perhaps cupcakes will be delayed…" I said, glancing at Aarae with a smile.

"Big brother Aarae, you must help us," Said Ailine, grabbing Aarae's arms.

"Nii chan!" Said Vudia, glancing at him with her shiny golden eye.

"Uaah! O-Okay…"

As Aarae joined in and showered me with affection, I couldn't help but hug my three children with my arms, tightly giving them my love and warmness. Adelle who was at my side woke up and saw the cuddle fest.

"Huh, my wife? Are you cuddling once again with the children, without me?" She said as she joined in, hugging me with her thin and soft arms. She was petite enough to resemble an older sister for my children.

"Aah! Aunt Adelle, you want cupcakes as well?" Asked Ailine.

"Cupcakes?! Yes, I do! Its been quite long since I've eaten! My wife, immediately prepare some!"

"I'm pregnant as well, you know…?"

"I… Well…"

"Don't worry, my Slime Clones are already preparing the cupcakes in the kitchen… Fufufu"

Rimuru grabbed Ailine and embraced her in a "slime" hug, where the two expand their bodies and hug each other as if they were two masses of water joining together. Brontes in the other side forcefully grabbed Vudia and attacked her with a shower of tickles over all of her body, Vudia couldn't help but laugh aloud.

"Hahaha! Noooo, mommm…! Fuewehehe…"

"What a naughty little girl waking everyone up with her jumps… You need to be punished~!" Said Brontes, skillfully using her hands to punish Vudia with tickles all over her small body.

Aarae was grabbed by Valentia, who gave him his daily dose of sisterly love. Cuddling his entire body with her strong and muscular arms, thankfully, Aarae was stronger than what he looked like, and could hold on Valentia's pulverizing grip with ease, although he could barely move away from it.

"Good morning little brother~ I was just wondering where were you, I was sure to have been cuddling you between my arms~ Don't escape from your sister's love," She said.

"Gueeh… I understand, big sister… But please don't hug me so tightly, you're very strong, you know…? But I appreciate the gesture… haha…"

Adelle admired the interactions between the children and their mothers and siblings while caressing her belly, probably expecting something similar for her in the future alongside her child.

"So, have you thought about a name, Adelle?"

"Huh? A name… for our child? My wife… I… was thinking that, if it's a girl, we could name her after my deceased grandmother, Belle Floria Aquaria… It was such a pity that grandfather Caspian did what he did… Oh well, he and that Old Ancestor were already punished, so justice as been unfolded, but still… I miss her, although I only got to know her for a few months, she was truly a good woman" She said, remember Belle, the "immortal" mermaid princess of Aquaria, who was offered as a sacrifice to the Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon Boss and then rescued by me by accident.

Adelle got to know what truly happened and how I killed Caspian and the Aquaria Old Ancestor with my hands long ago and had understood the circumstances, knowing that if she would have known that Belle was killed by then, she would have tried to kill Caspian and the Old Ancestor as well.

In that time, I was quite naïve, I really thought that Caspian was happy over her comeback, but it seems that the moment she appeared, he reported her existence to the old ancestor sleeping beneath the kingdom… and the rest of the story goes on, ending in her end… I regret not have been there to save her in time, I should have investigated more, her death was too sudden…

Noticing my melancholy, Adelle approached me and kissed my cheek.

"My wife, I know how you must feel… Belle was a very nice woman, you like her, right? But for now, let's concentrate on the present… What happened there, is already in the past" She said.

"That's true… I also got to give everyone cupcakes… I guess I drifted my thoughts for a little bit… Anyways, Belle Floria would be a wonderful name if it were to be a girl, but what if it's a boy?"

"Hmm… Then how about… Poseidon!"

"Are you really going to name him after the god of oceans?"

"Why not? It's a grandiose name for the herald of Aquaria!" Said Adelle, proud of our upcoming child and its inheritance.

"Haha, I suppose you are right… We'll see, for now, let's have some breakfast, I'm starving…"

"Oh, right, I'm so hungry that I could eat a whole whale if I could… Let us go have to breakfast, shall we?"

After some minutes of playing around with my children, several Arachne led by Sakura and some of my Slime Clones appeared, with countless cupcakes and other delicious preparations.

"Good morning your majesty, and her majesty's family~ Breakfast is ready~," Said Sakura, while serving things and gracefully greeting all of us.

After the comforting breakfast and a nice family bath where everyone washed each other backs, I decided to spend some time with Mady, Adelle, and Nephiana. I decided to remodel the bubble in Mady's pool into a greater "hidden" room with several commodities, and invited the girls inside for some time, the three cuddled with me as I read them some new books that were published recently while eating snacks.

These new books were made by the Rin Sisters and her Succubus Servants, by using the knowledge and memories of Earth, we "reinvented" most of the tales, anime, manga and light novels that I enjoyed reading in Earth in here, although some things were mixed, and a critic in Earth would say that these books suck horribly, but in the Kingdom, it seems that they were welcomed, and a great fanbase was created around them.

A lot of librarians from Athetosea, who were renowned Nobles, were surprised by the fresh new ideas that they brought, calling them "books of the century".

After some hours, I was about to go to the dungeon and grind the daily Experience Points and materials, but news about the Chimera Eggs that I put some days ago came to me.

It seems that they were ready, the last chimera inside each hole had survived and reigned over, strong presences could be felt in each of the ten holes.

As I carefully opened each hole, monsters jumped from there, and as they felt my overwhelming aura, they immediately submitted to me and became my tamed monsters… Except for a very weird one.

It was a caterpillar with the size of a house cat, and it had the head of a cat as well. The cat resembled an adorable Kasha with fewer flame tattoos and dark fur. Its caterpillar body was mostly dark, with red tattoos that resembled strange patterns that I've never seen.

Instead of being tamed by me, I felt a strange connection to it, as if we shared something between each other souls.

"Nyaarr!"

Nyarr?

"Hello…" I said, it seems that it could understand my words, as it approached me and patted my feet.

"Nyaarr…" It said as it purred, rubbing its head with my legs as a normal house cat would do. 

Isn't this little fellow pretty cute?

I grabbed him with my arms and he offered no resistance, he glanced at me with its scarlet eyes.

"Nyaaarr!"

The moment it said "Nyaarr" for the fourth time, something felt different…

Our souls were even more connected than before… This wasn't the same bond between one and its child, but it was rather close, although I couldn't consider him my children…

I could consider it a very close pet? It was strange how it shared something with me, and then, I decided to inspect its status while holding it with my arms, the little misfit rested over my chest while purring and closing its eyes, very relaxed and without worries about the world and its dangers, unlike any other chimera I've ever summoned.

"Not so many Skills… But they're very unique if I say so myself… Perhaps the Blessing of the Mother Chimera that amplified diversification in Chimeras was what made Catterpillar possible? Well… So, what would you like to be named?" I asked, to the lazy cat-headed chunky caterpillar in my arms.

"Nyaarr…" She said.

"I will just call you Catterpillar"

"Nyaarr!"

"Oh, you look pretty enthusiastic, you like that word? Aah~ You're so cute…"

Perhaps she's so adorable because of the high Charisma and that Charismatic Presence Skill…

Flash!

As I named Catterpillar, she gained the title [Named Servant] and various of its stats increased. Afterward, I decided to browse through the other nine Chimeras.

There was a big snail, of the size of an adult dog in Earth, it had a black slimy and sluggish body, with a sturdy carapace made out of hardened minerals, it also had two long bat wings, its powers were its defense and defensive skills and Armor/Shield Techniques. I named it Snailbat.

There was a bunny, with almost the same size that a Giant Ice Rabbit… well, for Earth, it would be the size of a young Elephant. It had pure white fur and a white snake tail, alongside large dragon horns and frog-like eyes, its eyes were capable of inflicting status effects that I've never seen before. I named it Dragon Bunny.

There was a large goat of almost the same size than the bunny, it had silky white hair, a long snake tongue, large and thick bull-like horns, a long white lizard tail and tentacles bellow its belly. Its powers were related to Dark Arts Magic, which it knew without even learning anything. Its species were named Eldritch Goat, so I named it after that.

There was a large bear, with crimson red fur and green tentacles instead of limbs, it also had two large wyvern wings… Ugh, I'm already getting dizzy with so many chimeras. I just named it Kuma.

There was one that resembled a very fat caterpillar covered in spiky scales that secreted deadly poison. I named it Chunky.

There was a butterfly of the size of a car, with six wings and two heads, its body was entirely black-colored. I named it Charcoal…

There was a small fairy with demon-like horns and a scarlet eye on its forehead, its hands resembled scythes similar to those of a Mantis. I named her… Uh… Faire. 

A young Wyvern with golden scales and four wings, it also had three tails, each of a lion, a tiger, and a lizard, it had a long tongue and snake-like eyes. I named him Shiny.

And last but not least, there was a mass made entirely of fleshy tentacles with several dark and scarlet eyes in each tentacle, it had a giant gaping mouth, and it seemed to be able to speak through telepathy, although each time I talked to it, it asked for food. I named it Orbia.

Catterpillar took a liking on Shiny, and mounted it, Shiny didn't seem to mind as it carried Catterpillar around in the skies…

Honestly, these Chimeras are all quite strong and very promising, but their appearances are very strange compared to the first generation! Oh well, those two will have ten new little siblings to take care of.
