Cid - Slime Disguise

“What is that?” her master asks as he eyes what they’ve brought.

“Slime—modified based on your Shadow Wisdom. By running magic through it, it takes on the exact same feeling as skin.”

“Oh…?”

Gamma offers the flesh-colored slime to her master.

“So I just put it on my face?”

“Correct.”

Her master stretches the slime over his face.

“It looks like I’m wearing clay,” he observes as he looks in a mirror.

“This is where Nu comes in.”

“Pardon me.” Nu steps in front of their master and pulls out a small chisel-like knife. “I’ll carve the slime.”

“Yeah, let’s go with this Mundane guy.”

“Then without further ado.” Nu takes her knife and begins shaving away at the slime.

She’s excellent with makeup. In fact, when it comes to cosmetics, she’s their go-to girl.

She finishes carving in no time, and a plain man’s face is etched atop their master’s.

He lets out an impressed grunt as he looks in the mirror. “Ooh, this is nice…”

“Will this do?”

“Yeah, this is great. I look so weak.”

The face lacks any notable traits but gives off a plain impression. It sports sickly bags under its eyes, a pathetic five-o’clock shadow, a sagging mouth, and dull skin. The man looks thoroughly unreliable.

It warms Gamma’s heart seeing her master so pleased.

“The face will harden once you run magic through it, so afterward, you can take it off and put it on as you please.”

“Sweet.”

“As far as its weaknesses, it’s less elastic than the slime bodysuits, and it offers almost no physical protection.”

“Got it, so it’s for cosmetic use only. It wouldn’t make sense to make a full bodysuit out of this stuff.”
