The following day dawned with a golden glow, promising a fresh start after the storm. As you stepped outside, you were greeted by the warm rays of the sun, casting a vibrant hue over the ranch. The air felt crisp and rejuvenating, a stark contrast to the tumultuous weather from the day before.

Y/N: Ah, now this is more like it.

With a newfound sense of enthusiasm, you set about your chores. The storm had left a few signs of its passing, scattered debris and wet patches on the ground but overall, the ranch had weathered it well. As you went about your routine, you noticed a shimmering glint near the edge of the corral where the pink slime had been so frightened before.

Y/N: What the hell is that?

As you approached, you couldn't believe your eyes. There, in the morning sunlight, was a slime unlike any you had ever seen. Its entire body shimmered with a radiant golden hue, casting a warm glow around it. It was a gold slime the most rare and elusive elusive slime there is that was said to bring good fortune to those who could catch it.

Y/N: Whoa, no way, a gold slime!? This is amazing! I'm gonna be rich!

Excitement bubbled within you as you fumbled to grab your Vacpack, determined to catch the elusive golden prize. The gold slime, however, seemed to sense your presence and darted away with incredible speed. leaving behind a trail of golden sparkles, tempting you to follow.

Y/N: Oh no, you're not getting away from me! I need dem golden plorts!

With a burst of energy, you chased the gold slime through the ranch, navigating obstacles and narrowly avoiding other slimes in your pursuit. The golden trail led you deeper into the wild, away from the familiar areas of your ranch. The chase took you through dense forests, across bubbling streams, and over rolling hills. The gold slime, despite its size, was incredibly agile, effortlessly maneuvering through the terrain.

Y/N: Slow down, you adorable slippery ball of money

You panted as the golden trail led you to a clearing where the sunlight filtered through the trees, creating a magical atmosphere. The gold slime finally came to a stop, turning to face you with a mischievous twinkle in its eyes. It seemed to challenge you as if daring you to catch it.

Y/N: Alright, you asked for it!

You cautiously approached, trying not to startle the elusive creature. With a quick movement, you activated your Vacpack and attempted to capture the gold slime. However, it slipped through your grasp, leaving you with nothing but a handful of golden sparkles.

Y/N: Darn it! You're a tricky one, aren't you?

Undeterred, you continued the chase, determined to outsmart the elusive gold slime. The creature seemed to revel in the game, leading you through more twists and turns, each step bringing you deeper into the untamed wilderness surrounding your ranch. Your pursuit became a dance, a dance between captor and captive, as the golden trail sparkled like a treasure map through the diverse landscape.

Y/N: Okay, round two. I've got you this time!

You closed in on the gold slime once again. This time, you anticipated its movements, trying to predict its next evasive maneuver. The golden creature giggled, almost mockingly, as it dodged and weaved through the air.

Y/N: Come on, just let me catch you! I promise I'll give you the fanciest corner of the ranch.

The chase intensified, taking you deeper into the heart of the untamed wilderness. You maneuvered through a surreal landscape of towering mushrooms, glowing flowers, and crystal-clear ponds. It felt like a magical adventure, a quest for a treasure that danced just out of reach. As the pursuit continued, you couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of the world around you. The golden slimes, now rejoining into a single entity, led you to a breathtaking meadow bathed in the golden light of the morning sun. It was a sight to behold, a moment frozen in time.

Y/N: Alright, you win this round, little one. But mark my words, I'll catch you one day!

The gold slime seemed to understand, giving you a playful twirl before disappearing into the foliage. You stood there, catching your breath, surrounded by the beauty of the untouched wilderness. The encounter with the golden slime might have eluded you, but the journey had unveiled a world beyond your ranch, a world waiting to be explored.

Y/N: Well, I guess every sunrise brings a new adventure. Let's see what else this place has in store for me today.

With a sense of wonder and anticipation, you turned back toward your ranch, ready to embrace the golden new day and whatever challenges and treasures it might bring.

RE: Invitation

Elara L/N

Hello Y/n, I am Elara L/n from Whispering Willows Hotel. I believe Beatrix might have mentioned us to you. I'd like to invite you for a complimentary stay at our hotel. You might be wondering about a hidden agenda, but rest assured, there isn't one. Beatrix and I were close friends, and I'm eager to meet the person she mentored.

You read through the invitation with a mix of curiosity and excitement. How could you pass up the idea of a free stay at a hotel, and one run by a friend of Beatrix?

Y/N: Huh...neat.

You quickly closed the StarMail and looked toward your bags.
