??"Boss, this is taking it too far. I think I speak for everyone when I say we don't want to participate in your so-called research and development." Cindy expressed her opinion, with the expression she was making on her face, I could tell that she was dissatisfied with something. 

??"..." I could see that same expression on Diana as well, I even felt a little killing intent from her. As for Jaya, she had buried her head in her bosom and kept chanting something. I couldn't hear it since it was barely audible. 

??By now, seeing the girl's reaction to my orders, I knew I had lost them somewhere in the middle of our conversation, we weren't on the same page. But I could not put my finger on where the problem was. Especially with Diana, why is she so agitated to leak a killing intent, everything was going so good just a few minutes ago. 

??Is it because they had a low opinion of sex workers? But considering Diana's background I don't think that's the case. Then what was it? Why are they so against research and development? Do they feel I am being disrespectful to them or the entire woman side of the human race? 

??"Guys, you do know that I respect you, all the women in my life, and the women in general? Why are guys making that expression, that right there, as if I am your enemy? If you don't speak your mind I will not know where I am going wrong. 

??Diana and Cindy, I need your help. You two are the only ones here who can teach me what I am dealing with here. I need your help to understand the slime cards' shortcomings and how to fill them." Asking Diana and Cindy to explain their dissatisfaction I asked them to reconsider and help me with the research and development of slime fairy cards. 

??"..." Cindy and Diana looked at their boss in disbelief. Is he hearing himself or not? Looking at him act innocent and throw the blame on them, saying that they weren't cooperative enough. Cindy and Diana's chests raised and fell in sheer anger for their boss.

??"Boss, we don't know what you mean when you speak of research and development involving a sex worker. It has rooted a misunderstanding between you and us. You should give us more details on this so as not to sound ambiguous." Not Diana, not Cindy but Jaya spoke up explaining where the misunderstanding between us stemmed from. 

??This could only mean Jaya is more trusting of me than her sister and Cindy. This was surprising. I never thought Jaya would be more trusting of me than the other two. It seems I need to reevaluate Jaya. Her capabilities were questionable but her trust in me was satisfactory. 

??"I see, it seems you guys misunderstood me. Let me explain how this slime fairy card works." Saying that I gave the trio a simple explanation. 

??"So, this slime can transform into anybody using their blood. Isn't that crazy? Then won't those who buy this card have their slime turn into anybody they want?" Jaya asked in surprise. She was visibly disturbed by the notion that the slime could turn into her with enough blood from her. Considering what these cards were made for, Jaya wanted to destroy them from the face of this world. 

??"No, there is no need for you to worry about it. I have restricted the ability that these cards can only turn into the predetermined appearance set by us." I answered Jaya and looked at Diana and Cindy if they had any questions. 

??"We understand how the card works but we do not understand our part in your research and development involving a sex worker. Why do you require us? And how does this so-called research and development work?" Cindy asked sternly. She was still not convinced that there was a misunderstanding, to begin with. She felt her boss was making excuses to save skin now that he knows that his shit won't fly around here. 

??"I want you guys to call a sex worker because I want the slime fairy to copy the sex worker and transform into them and then you guys will compare the original sex worker with duplicate slime fairy sex worker to tell me where the slime fairy is lacking," I explained why I wanted the presence of a sex worker for the research and development phase.

??Listening to her boss's explanation Cindy was infuriated because she knew he was making up excuses to cover his ass after inviting them all to an orgy. Why did she think so? Because the slime fairy cards were evidence enough that the morphing ability of the slimes was top-notch. The problem with the card was not about the appearance of the slime fairy but the lack of emotions, reactions, and responses. Yet her boss wanted to research the slime fairy's morphing ability when the problem was clearly that the slime fairy would not give the viewer a human-like feel because it is a monster slime to begin with. How do you get a slime monster to express human-like expressions? Instead of asking this question, her boss was lying to cover his ass. She started to regret choosing this prevented lying boss over Diana, her long-time friend, and a capitalist. Though she takes advantage of her hard work, at least she was open about it, unlike her new lying boss. Now the choice was made she needed to be smart about this and handle it cautiously. Until she finds a way out. 

??"Boss, the problem doesn't lie in the transformation ability of the card but the fact that it cannot give its user a human-like feel through expressions, emotions, reactions, or basic interaction. We need to focus on that rather than wasting our time on something that doesn't need perfecting." Cindy was in crosshairs with Diana so even though she felt her new boss was an unreliable pervert she had to make peace with it for the sake of her career.
