Story: Konosuba Succubus Shop

 

In Japanese video game culture, Dragon Quest is one of the Gods. While Final Fantasy may have a more enduring legacy across the globe, in the home nation of both it is Dragon Quest that is venerated more. It set the tone. It set the basic rules. The structure that others would follow after. A new game is an event within Japan.

Like all franchises, it needs a mascot. A Mickey Mouse, a Ronald McDdonald, a Mario, a Monokuma, something that people would look at and go, 'ah yes, Dragon Quest'. What would work? What might it be?

What else, but the very first enemy you would normally encounter in the game? The humble slime! A little blue blob with big cute eyes and a big wide smile, as if it was greeting a new friend instead of the hero that would step on them, squish them falt for the practically free EXP and Gold on their way to save the world.

This has led to a tendency for slimes to be the weak enemy in the genre. Among the first you'd encounter upon setting out. A harmless little blob that you can squish flat, it's barely a threat, steamroll it and worry more about those dragons over there.

Except... 

Do you know what else is technically a slime? A gelatinous cube. Or perhaps if you want to go for something more well known, how about the blob? Y'know, the 50s movie? Got remade in the 80s? Those aren't exactly 'weak enemies', now are they? It all depends on the setting, you see, and in the world of Konosuba, saying that you encountered a slime is to say you faced death in the eye.

The first thing that Kazuma knew was when he felt something attack his ankle. A burning sensation from something he'd stepped in. It persisted, so he cast a quick ice spell straight down. Caught himself in the process-  but then he stumbled back in surprise upon seeing what it was.

"A slime?" he wondered aloud. The thing began to writhe around on the floor, possibly hurt by the little blast of ice sent its way. "Hehe, free EXP... Wait a minute."

That was when he'd noticed, you see. There was quite a bit of movement all around him. Oozing across the ground, around every surface. One in particular rolled over an unfortunate plant that happened to be there, and by the time it passed the plant wasn't there anymore.

"Uhhh?" Kazuma muttered, looking around and starting to feel a little bit of panic. There was maybe a dozen of them, which didn't bode well. A single slime, he felt little trouble. This many...? Usually they'd unite into a large King Slime or something like that, and that would be a very big threat! "Nuts, I'm surrounded! I need to get out of here!"

Oh, but then he heard this sort of ethereal titter, like an echo around him. Huh? What was that? Where was it coming from? He didn't have to wait long to find out.

The piles of goop all sort of... coalesced into a familiar form. The one in front of him, for example, rose up into the shape of a young woman with very large breasts. The one to her right was adopting a similar form, but took one look at the first one, puffed out her cheeks, stuck her newly formed thumb in her mouth and made that mass go down to her butt instead.

"Hey there handsome~" a pair of slimy arms draped themselves across his shoulder, and then Kazuma felt something sticky enter his ear. "Mmm, you're delicious."

"Yeah, we were gonna eatcha~" said another slimegirl appearing right at his feet. The one he'd stepped in. She had an extra arm that was busy playing with her pussy. "But now... we just wanna be eaten out by you!"

Fear took ahold of Kazuma in this moment. It wasn't the first time today that monsters had wound up all horny for him. He pulled away, trying desperately to avoid his hot slimegirl harem - but they seemed to be everywhere. "Sorry ladies, while I'm not usually the sort to run out on - " he began to stutter as two of the slimegirls squeezed their busts into one another and started to make out. He could see their 'tongues' through their translucent skin, which only added to the effect. "Run out on such... such generous offers, I honestly don't feel like being eaten alive today! Maybe another day!"

Kazuma is a pervert. Let's not kid ourselves about this. He's a total perv, no question. However, he saw what happened to that flower before! He could tell which way the wind was blowing here. They were trying to get him to lower his guard so they could pin him down and eat him alive, taking him into their bodies so they could digest him! 

Thus, he was fleeing from the harem of hot slimegirls who wanted nothing more than to get on his dick. Oh, Kazuma! You sometimes are too smart for your own good, you know? Or too stupid. Not the right amount of intelligence, at any rate. Now the really funny thing about this is that normally, a harem of slimegirls like this really would be too much of a temptation for him, especially when he was this horny. However! Today, all manner of monstergirls had been trying to get on his junk, and it was setting off alarm bells in his pattern recognition detector.

Why were they doing it? Why had all of them been trying the same thing? There was only one reason! They all wanted a piece of him!

Except, he'd misread the situation entirely, they actually just wanted sex. Oh well. At least now, his fear of slimes was at an appropriate level for this world, even if it was keeping him from getting all kinds of freaky sex from a bunch of busty, horny slimegirls. He really is his worst enemy, isn't he?

"Hey, handsome~" a slimegirl dropped down from out of nowhere, and grabbed him around the neck hard enough to snap it - only for the injury to heal instantly thanks to the very artefact that was turning the slimegirls on in the first place... and in turn, healing that injury made him release more horniness energy into his surroundings, turning them on even more!

"Ack!" Kazuma grunted, his neck snapping at least two more times before he was able to wrestle her off. "You guys are way stronger than you look!"

"Oh, you like strong girls huh?" the slimegirl asked, and then simply manifested washboard abs and a pair of biceps that could crush fruit by flexing around it. "How about this, hrm?"

"I will take your offer into consideration!" Kazuma yelled while not looking back. This was it, he had an idea of how they hunted now! They lured in horny, lonely and handsome adventurers like himself, then pinned them down through sheer mass so they could eat him alive! He wasn't into vore, thanks! 

"Mister Handsome, please come ba~ack!" a slimegirl popped up out of nowhere, causing Kazuma to quickly kick off the ground and change route. In response, the slimegirl lifted her hand and pointed at him, as if aiming a gun. Globs of gunk shot through the air like bullets, striking Kazuma right on the arm - and quickly pinning him against a boulder. "I'm soooo hungry~"

"Eek!" Kazuma squealed. Dying was one thing, being eaten alive was another entirely! He had to rip his own coat off to get away, but there were yet more of those globules flying right for him! "Freeze!" he demanded, but then they struck, hurting him, which caused him to get healed, which in turn caused the slimegirls to get even randier!

This wasn't working, he needed a hiding place! But where?! Where could he possibly hide from! Ah! This bush! Yes, it was perfect! Kazuma instantly dove for it and pulled the leaves around himself, hoping that the slimegirls didn't see him. It was a desperate hope, but - 

"Gotcha~" the bush said. Huh! He'd been thinking it had been oddly moist, but now that it was closing around him, Kazuma was reminded of the key, vital fact that slimes were adept shapeshifters....

<hr>

"Kazuma!" Aqua called out, almost wishing she didn't find the idiot. The NEET had been sent out to scout ahed of the group, but was taking forever, and now - "Kazuma!" she continued calling out.

"Not like that," Megumin admonished, tutting in that typical overdramatic way that she did, waving her finger around. "You'll never find him like that."

"Oh? I suppose you could do better?" Aqua sniffed. Megum simply grinned, adopted a dramatic pose with one hand on her hip and the other in front of her face, and then -

"Hey, Kazuma, Kazuma!" Megumin called out, then cupped her ear.

Faintly, as if in the distance, an answer came like an echo: "Yes, yes, I am Kazuma!"

"That way!" Megumin said, grabbing her staff and pointing in that direction.

"Of course!" Darkness declared, pounding her hand into her fist. And actually managing to score the hit, for once. "Weaponising that running gag to locate him! There's our Megumin!"

"Kukuku, your praise will only alleviate your pain and suffering when the evil impulses within my soul finally wreak havoc upon the world!" Megumin jeered, then suddenly grasped her hand. "No! I feel it, even now in my right hand! The unnatural urge, this sinful compulsion - "

Which led to Megumin grabbing Darkness' chest. Not that Aqua was paying much mind right now, because she'd found Kazuma. Oh boy, had she found Kazuma.

He was... stuck inside a giant gelatinous woman. Head sticking out from her cleavage, while the rest of his body - now naked - was being held inside. She made a point to look away from his junk. Then look away again. And again. And again...

"Little... help... here?" Kazuma grunted. His body was under no apparent danger of dissolving, but there was also very obvious movement of liquid around his crotch. The slimegirl itself seemed to be multiple slimes all gathered together, with a crown atop her head, and as far as Aqua could tell, the creature seemed to be masturbating.

Solana meanwhile began to giggle at their antics. "So, is this kind of adventure pretty common for you, or... Is it just an unusually horny week for you guys?"
