Ares: Never Grow Up
What the fuck is that slime?!

...What is red mucus?...

POV: Ares

"What if we fish here?" kennie asked as we stopped at a river. This location is on the edge of town. I immediately went down and saw the surroundings.

Here it is still very beautiful, and there really is not the slightest damage. Has Ron not touched this place yet? Well, but thank goodness then. This could be one of the reference places for the next headquarters.

"It can be here too! It feels like this place has never been visited since the rocket launched," I said as I picked up the plastic waste I was treading. Although this world has changed, but traces of life before still exist. Like plastic garbage, rotten fast food, and some dirty clothes.

"This is your fishing rod! I'm going fishing over there," said Ken, giving me my fishing rod, and he pointed to the west, where there was an old house. Looks like Ken's going fishing nearby.

"All right! I'm going fishing around here!" I said and sat down by the river. Ken immediately walked away, now only silence accompanied us.

Plung!

I threw my fishing hook and sat there waiting for the fish to bite. It's almost noon, and we haven't had any fish since morning. Maybe because we spent too much time on the river before.

Clik!

I saw my fishing hook moving to and fro. I deftly began to pull it, until a fish flew towards me while biting the hook.

"I got one!" happy say. I started releasing the hook that the fish was eating. While releasing the hook, my hand traced the body part of the fish.

Thankfully, these fish are healthy. I found no defects in his body. And again, the size includes large! Maybe 5 or 6 can be used until dinner later!

I then continued fishing, like I just got a fish, Ken also got a fish with the same size. Everyone needs to catch only 3 fish.

3 Hours we were still fishing, until we finally got 6 fish. I immediately cleaned up my cutting equipment and put it in the car.

Brak!

"Huh? What's that sound?" I muttered when I heard the sound from the trunk of the car. I paused for a moment, remembering what Ken put there.

"Don't that fish?" sukamu. I finally opened the trunk of the car, then took out the sack-covered container. My hands trembled slightly as I tried to open them, it felt a little scary.

Deg.

"The fish .. is over," I said slowly. After all, there really isn't anything left there. Looks like this red slime is eating the fish whole. And the size also became bigger than before.

"Heh, even this slime has also begun to be able to respond from this distance."

I didn't even put my hand in the water, but this slime was already moving towards me. I quickly closed the container with a cloth again. Then tie it tight.

Brak!

"You just stay there!" I threw the container back into the trunk and closed it.

"What's wrong?" asked Ken while carrying his fishing gear. I looked at Ken, with my right hand pointing at the trunk of the car.

"The red mucus earlier, it looks like it's carnivorous? The fish is gone, not left," I explained to Ken. Ken looked surprised, as he was about to run towards the trunk, there was suddenly an earthquake that shook us.

GRAAK! GRAAK! GRAAAK!

"WAIT! WHAT THE FUCK?!" I shouted while on my knees, trying to balance myself. While Ken is like dancing while carrying his fishing equipment.

Shit .. I know this is a serious situation. But once I saw Ken, I couldn't stand my humor.

As a result I became silent trying to hold back the laughter, until my whole body was shaking.

Ssrs.

"Have ... stopped?" asked Ken with a dizzy expression. I took a deep breath, then immediately looked around.

"It seems like it is, thank God the earthquake is not strong," I said with relief. I stood up and got into the car. Likewise with Ken who put his fishing equipment and fish caught in the passenger seat.

After that, Ken climbed into the steering chair. It was okay at first, until I realized something.

"Ken ..."

"Since when is the river red?" ask me with a frightened expression. Ken, who heard what I said, swiftly got down from the car and ran to the riverbank.

I also went down and followed him. I think this is just a misgivings, how could this flowing water be red in an instant? But as it turns out, it really is a red color.

Plaque! Plaque! Plaque!

The fish jumped up and down as if trying to get out of the river.

"It's ... like the slime we keep in the trunk" Ken said. I was still a little shocked, but I could still think sanely.

"Come on! We have to get back!" I yelled as I pulled Ken's arm back into the car.

Deg.

My steps stopped, the inside of my car was already filled with that red mucus.

"Damn! This must have been because of the earthquake! The slime made it out and ate our fish!" I'm pissed while pulling hair.

CTAK!

Ken hit me on the forehead and immediately pulled my arm.

"WE SHOULD RUN STUPID! THE SLIME HAS ALREADY RISEN TO THE GROUND!" ken said while pointing to the river bank.

UGHHHH! WHAT THE FUCK?! WHY IS THAT DISGUSTING THING ALIVE ANYWAY?! IT LOOKS LIKE THE SNOT OF A 3-YEAR-OLD! WHY IS IT RED?!

"It looks like it's one of Ron's research results" Ken said as he continued to run. I scrunched my forehead, is it really Ron's?

I'm tired too if I have to run. I glanced towards the chast in my right hand, still empty. I quickly imagined a mini-scooter. But maybe with an additional length to be able to ride 2 people?

The cring!

"... HOW CAN WE RIDE THIS STUPID?!" ken growled while trying to pinch my head again. But I immediately avoided getting hit.

"CAN WE RIDE THIS TOGETHER?! I'VE BEEN IMAGINING IT'S A BIT LONG!" I'm applying to myself.

Um, maybe it's true. Where can we ride a scooter with a length of 1.5 meters? AISH YOU ARE SO STUPID ARES!

"THROW IT!" I got upset and threw the computer behind me.

THE GLUP!

The mucus quickly engulfed his computer, but it could not be digested. Meaning it's true that the slime can only prey on living things.

"Oh?! I have an idea!" my spoken.

I began to imagine a fairly large shopping cart.

The cring!

"What else is this for? goddamnit!" pissed Ken. I ignored her swearing and began to carry Ken into the wheeled shopping cart.

"Well, ready for Ken?" ask me with a slanted smile. Ken who seemed to understand my thoughts, his face immediately turned pale.

"Wait .. don't say-" Ken's speech was cut. Because I pushed the basket quickly.

"SLIDE! WILLI!" I shouted with pleasure.

"AREST STUPIDHHH! WE'RE GOING TO HIT!! AAAAAAAA!" While Ken shouted with a deathly pale face.

..."WHERE ARE WE GOING?!"...

TBC.

Don't forget the likes, guys!
