The Slime Dungeon: Book 1 (The Slime Dungeon Chronicles) by Jeffrey "falcon" Logue, Silvia Lew

are you saying it’s okay for me to live? Will you take me in when no one else wants me?”
    Slightly annoyed now, Doc had the slime slap the girl's face a few times with the tentacle, startling both the girl and Claire who was watching the scene.
    "Doc, what are you doing? This is an emotional moment!"
    "Her words annoyed me." He said defensively, "So I'm trying to wake her up."
    "Don't slap her, you idiot!"
    To their surprise, the girl began laughing in earnest. Her eyes were closed and she wasn't moving, but the girl’s laughter filled the room. It mixed with her tears until she was a sobbing-coughing-laughing mess on the floor.
    “Okay, Mr. Slime, I won't cry anymore. Is that what you want?”
    Doc patted her with the tentacle.
    The girl relaxed and her breathing started to slow down. “Okay, Mr. Slime. I won't cry anymore. I'll… be good. I… show my… thanks.” She drifted off to sleep as a tiny light flowed from her body into the floor.
    “She is your responsibility now…”  Doc heard the voice more clearly this time, but he sensed it would no longer speak to him. He looked over toward Claire, "Claire, what did she give me?"
    Claire was watching the girl, stunned. "Claire?"
    She shook her head, "Something special for another day Doc. For now, let’s get her out of the dungeon. I don't want the human adventurers blaming us for anything happening to her."
    She flew out of her home holding a large thing to her chest. Doc recognized it as the thing the mean mad had had before.
    "What are you doing Claire?"  He asked.
    She landed on the girl and stuffed the thing into her armor, "I'm making sure the humans focus on the letter instead of us. Let's carry her up to the entrance and leave her where they can find her."
    Doc picked her up with his overslime and slowly carried her body through his dungeon up to the main entrance. His body couldn't go past his influence, but he could use his rapidly dissolving tentacles to deposit her gently by the entrance before returning to his room.
    "Good job Doc. Now, with any luck they will begin searching for the traitor and the hero who saved the princess."
    "What hero? Was there another human in the dungeon I didn't know about?"
    Claire giggled, "Nope, I signed the letter on the back saying the dungeon explorer ‘Doc’ rescued her from her fate. They will search for a man while we get away without any trouble, and with a lot of gained power!" Doc watched her celebrating by bouncing on the overslime.
    "You really are looking out for us aren't you?"
    She smiled at him and rolled onto her belly, chin in her hands. "Of course, silly! You are my home, partner, and best friend, even if you are a silly fool interested in other women when you have me."
    "What?" Said Doc.
    She laughed, "I'm teasing you, silly. You wouldn't know the first thing about wanting a girl in the first place."
    "I have a girl, you. Why would I want another?"
    "You're sweet," she said, beaming at him, "Now, on a more important notice, we have more work to do! All those men were really strong and adding the sword you ate makes you a lot stronger. We need to upgrade your abilities now."
    "How do we do that?"
    "With the upgrade chart of course!"  Claire waved her finger and the mana condensed into a familiar blue writing.
