Even ignoring that with how thorough our cleaning is I'd doubt there's much physical evidence left behind" she added. When Juro asked her name the slime girl seemed a bit perplexed, "My name? Hmmm, no one's ever asked for that master. Unfortunately we don't really use names. We all share the same memories, and most of us share the same face, so the distinction has never particularly mattered" she said with an apologetic nod of her head, "However if you'd like you could call me Hostess, I am usually assigned to the front desk so the other maids will recognize who you're referring to if you mention me as such" she said, coming up with a naming convention on the spot, "As for this" she said, pointing to the heart on her abdomen, "This is indeed my core. In truth it is spherical, we simply wrap darkened slime around it in a way that gives it that shape" she said, making a heart with her hands and holding it to her chest, implying it worked the same way with her core, "We thought our patrons would find it cute. My apologies if it created any confusion" she explained. Through all this it seemed the slime girl hadn't noticed Valna slip out at all.<br/><br/>VALNA<br/>As Valan worked over the room she would find...nothing, absolutely nothing. The room was spotless, literally spotless. There was not a single stain nor splotch nor speck of dust to be seen. Everything was arranged perfectly, with nary a wrinkle nor corner tucked out of place. It was the single cleanest room Valna had ever seen, to the point where every other room she entered in would feel disgusting in comparison. She got the instinctive feeling that if she slept in one of these beds that it would ruin all other beds that would come after. This level of cleanliness was a sliver of divinity, and the world outside was made all the filthier for it.<br/><br/>Suddenly Valna would hear the sound of a door opening, not the room door, but the one to the bathroom. A slime girl emerged, identical to the one who had been guiding them, holding a mop whose head appeared to just be a big glob of her own goop, "Ah! Forgive me master. I wasn't aware that this room had been booked again so quickly. Fortunately I just finished up with the cleaning" she said with an earnest smile and bow, "I hope the accommodations are pleasing master. If there's anything you need, extra pillows or blankets for example, I can fetch them for you right away"
