“You can’t force them to eat food they don’t align with,” Vindall states not even giving Azulle a glacé as she eats her own meal. “You’re a tablet holder and understand slime language enough to have two as pets but you are acting as if you know nothing about what to do in this world.”

Azulle felt horribly shamed by the truth that was the fact Vindall was so right to the point of her growing disadvantage. “I am still new at having a tablet. And I only just got these two following me before I was brought here.”

“Then learn about it these two had to have eaten before tell them to explain what they tend to eat! Stupid girl!”

Shamed into it Azulle turns to the slimes but they answer before she can ask. “I don’t know why but the only thing I found tasty since getting this body was some stuff I found in a pile of refuge. As for Francois?” Explained Noir.

Francois however was answering the question in a different way reaching out across the table after a white bottle on the table. And she began to suckle on the bottle. “What is that stuff?” Azulle asks.

“Why that is simply a sauce made of eggs and oil.”

“So, it’s mayonnaise!”

“Am not sure what you mean by that, the sauce is called gulnar!”

Azulle did not know or really care to know the words of the foods she or others ate. She learned just eating them was far better, but at least the description of the sauce matched her own knowledge of Mayonnaise. So that meant that Francois ate mayo and Noir ate what… garbage. She was willing to test that theory and asked Jenni if there was a trash can nearby for Noir to see if he liked what was in it. And Jenni nodded and took the black slime to one such place. But given after the meal ended Noir returned fat and happy for a slime.

“It appears this little guy like spoiled, rotten, or decaying things” Jenni replied hugging Noir in her paw-like hands. Meanwhile, Francois moved on to chug a bottle of cooking oil.

“I guess we found out what these things like…”  Azulle smiled and shrugged just as she is lifted up by Vindall.

“Come along.”

“What… what for!”

“Because somebody has got to teach you somethings and I don’t think you want Claire to be that someone! Brookins, Grell, get a move on.” Vindall demanded as she carried Azulle to a new part of the prison.

“Fine but quit acting like I am under your damn command Vindall. After all, we were rivals till you exiled here.” Grell griped and followed the buff woman dressed as a bear and the two slimes followed.

“Go easy on her you two. She has a visitor coming later today to check on her and I don’t want to explain her needing a trip to her mother for any injuries.”

“Umm, why am I being kidnapped?”  A confused Azulle asks.

“You showed it yourself you don’t have the slightest way to use that tablet of yours, do you? So being the more advanced holders out of this place I guess Vindall wants to show you how to use your and grow your skills. Given Tundall and Claire don’t have tablets. Still to see Vindall take an interest in you is peculiar.”

“Maybe you two should shut up. I merely hate to watch someone waste the power of a tablet.”

“I wouldn’t mind turning her into a weapon against the queen.” Brookins laughs.

“Umm, you guys do know I am here, right?” Azulle states. She watches as the room opens to what she could only think of as a former torcher chamber. While some of the devices looked like what she recalled from movies and tv shows, this room more so left behind even the cute nature of the redecorated prison in turn for a large workout gym.

Grell and Brookins both pick up wooden weapons and even toss one to Azulle who fails to catch hers and gets smacked in the face.

“Sigh I guess even the basics she lacks.” Grell decries.

“Then perhaps she should first use observation-based skills such as appraisal.”

“Appraisal what now?”  Azulle stands puzzled as Vindall rubs her temples in frustration.

“Just take out your tablet and try to use it to gather information about each of us.”

“Oh okay.” Azulle grabs her P-phone and pulls it out then all three of the prisoners stand puzzled at the look of her tablet.

“Greetings Azulle Darkholt, what is it you request.” The phone states.

“Her tablet can talk?” Brookins stands puzzled.

“Um, Ms. Phone how do I use an appraisal?”

“To access all data or gather data you simply use the built-in camera do you wish to know how to ..”

“N…No that’s okay!”

“What is a camera?”

Azulle holds the phone up pointed at the three and a sudden flash bursts out blinding the three.

“Gah, she is attacking.”

“A wizard’s trick.”

“Information gathered. Target Grell Mordine level 45 Warrior, Brookins Grayhelm level 12 Assassin, Vindall Farkree level 78 Dark Knight.” The phone replies. “Leveling up your current stats will allow you to gain further information.”

“Well, I guess what that flash was it did read my level alright. Even if it can be annoying.”

“I wonder…” Azulle moves the camera to face Noir and Francois and once again it flashes.

“Fucking hey don’t take my picture without asking Eito-slut!” Francois shouts!

“Black slime Noir, Level unchosen, White Slime Francois, Level unchosen. Nether target is strong enough to have further information.”

“Level unchosen? What does that mean?” Azulle askes the prisoners that still are adjusting their eyes to the camera’s flashes.

“It’s a term for tablet users that haven’t yet received their class or tablet. Given no one would be stupid enough to give a slime a tablet anyways.”

Before asking the words of Gil run through her head from when he read the book. That slimes were the weakest of monsters. So, she gathered why would anyone bother giving a creature a tablet that would likely go wasted in the first place as the slime was far more likely to fall early on the path of their new power.

“So now that you understand how to observe let us talk about how to attack. Pick up that wooden sword and try and attack any one of us.” Azulle follows through with Vindall’s request and grabbing the sword moves to strike Grell only to trip and collapse rolling along the floor till she smashes into a wall.

“Well, I guess that is one way to attack?” Grell states.

“Wrong, what the hell was that girl! And why out of a choice of we three you would go after Grell and not the weakest.”

“H…He was open in his stance,” Azulle replied to the shock of the three.

“He was.”

“Guess you caught me huh. Given I do not like killing kids, girls particularly. So even though it's practice.”

“So, you could tell that without using the tablet… interesting. Perhaps you are a bit more than you appear.” Vindall suddenly moves in and throws a punch but Azulle dodges it barely, yet part of her cheek still bursts out in a bloody cut. “You dodged that as well. Certainly, no mere maid or Royal would learn how to do such a thing and without using a tablet. Maybe you aren’t as worthless as I first thought… But you really should watch your footing fighting.”

“I know but my damn curse!”

“The girl is cursed to be a Klutz, if you used your tablet as well you would see that Vindall.”

“Look, you weak old man don’t you go telling me how to use my tablet! Now girl show us an attack from your tablet!”

“An attack from my tablet? I don’t understand, how can I do that… throw it maybe, but then it might break if I do that, and Ori would take forever to get me a replacement.”

“You choose from a list of attack skills you have and shout out a command. In the case of magic attacks, you may have to do a movement or such.” The words Grell points out to Azulle remind her of the healing she did on Gil the day before. The phone taught her that she had to say Dust Healing and move her hand over the injury. Then she remembered the attack before.

“Devils Rush!” Azulle shouts and suddenly in a burst of speed blasts past Vindall and Brookins with the sword. As her movement stops the sword shatters.

“Well, that was a special attack…”

“It certainly was…”

“But the point is to hit your targets and not destroy your weapon!” Vindall states.

“I think a splinter of the sword did hit me.” Brookins declares.

“Error. The user weapon is not selected for class use. Effectiveness of all attacks with unsuitable weapons is 3.7%” the P-phone states.

“What does that mean… A sword is a weapon isn’t it!” Azulle asks.

“What is your class girl?” Vindall shouts causing Azulle to whimper.

“M…Maid girl!”

The chuckle starts with Brookins and moves on to the other two turning into a full-on boisterous laugh. “Well, then you likely can't use normal weapons effectively, well unless you gain skills in such a weapon and even then, it will be weaker than with a proper weapon of your class.”

“But all my skills are spent…”

“Seriously are you that dense about using your tablet. You gain new skill points as you level up in your class. You can then take those points and gain new attacks or spells, even new skills. You just need experience, which you gain in fighting and training.” Grell proudly states. “Which with our help should be no problem.

“You two leave her to me.” Vindall states.

“You want to train her yourself Vindall.”

“Something about that attack and her class interests me.”

“Guess that makes you her sensei then.”

“Don’t call me that! A man in a duck tutu has no right to talk about me!”

“Fine Fine..”

Suddenly Jenni walks in whimpering “Sorry to break up you’re training and all but there is a visitor for our delightful little girl.”

“A visitor for me? Wait don’t tell me Mom had someone get her downstairs …”

“It's not your mother… it's um…”

Suddenly walking lumpy pile comes crawling in on the floor.

“Azu!”

“That’s not a visitor it’s a monster.” State the three inmates.

“Huh, no way. Dad!” Azulle shouts. “What are you doing here!”

“Wait that monster is the king!” The three-state in unison.

“Hey, Grell, don’t you work for him! How do you not know what the King looks like!” Vindall shouts.

“He wasn’t the last time I saw him. Maybe a curse or…”

“You went and saw mom again didn’t you dad?”

“Yes, my sweet Azu. When I heard, you were taken to jail, I had to let Eris know. But then Jelizza caught me, and well now daddy is a bit swollen.”

“Wait the King is just beaten up! By who?” the three go at it again.

“My… my, the queen has such a temper now doesn’t she.” Jenni states.
