Suddenly, I Became a Slime

The inside of the refrigerator was surprisingly cozy. Although it seemed like it was originally clean, the hungry jellies caused a commotion, making a mess. The jellies inside the refrigerator seemed to enjoy my presence, squirming as they offered me the leftover food.

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t the jellies but Daesik handing it over, but still. I wasn’t particularly hungry, but since they were offering it to me, I ate it rather than refusing. The taste of raw, uncooked food was evident. It seemed that anything prepared had already been devoured.

…Indeed, without someone to regulate it, their enormous appetites would be impossible to manage.

In any case, since my body was soft, the cool interior felt unexpectedly pleasant. Although I thought of opening the door and stepping out, I decided to stay inside instead. After a while, the internal light went out, and I heard Kim Cheonsu taking Yang Hana away.

Now, the only sounds I could hear were the refrigerator hum and the faint rustling of the jellies. Even Sosik, who was already lying inside, and the other jellies didn’t seem inclined to leave.

…Well, to them, there probably isn’t much difference between a bed and here. Sosik, after all, could sleep soundly even on a hard sphere.

Aside from that, being in this cramped space gave me…a strange sense of comfort. When I crawled through the ventilation duct, I felt irritated, but why did the refrigerator feel so soothing?

Was it because I willingly confined myself? Or perhaps…I felt safe here, thinking that my strange powers wouldn’t manifest in a place surrounded by inorganic materials.

…It’s probably as meaningless as a stainless steel bowl, though.
