## Chapter 18 – The Compendium of Curious Creatures
Having cleaned up the mess in the bathroom, where her fluids had splattered everywhere, Karla returned to the library, cautiously stepping inside, mindful of her recent actions.
She browsed the shelves, selecting a few books, and after confirming that no one was paying attention to her, she settled back into the seat she had reserved earlier.
Carefully placing the books on the desk, Karla glanced down and slowly began to spread her legs.
‘Hngh…’
Could there be a more desperate moment to wish for silence?
As she widened her legs, a strange creature slowly emerged from her vagina. Karla supported it with her hand, gently placing it next to the barricade of textbooks.
In that brief moment, she nearly cried out three times due to the heightened sensitivity. Watching the creature turn its body as if looking around, she began to ponder.
“What… are you…?”
The book Karla had chosen from the library was 『The Compendium of Curious Creatures』.
Authored by Sir Moot Scavenger, a hobbyist in creating monster specimens, it was said to be the foundational text of monsterology, the culmination of his life’s work.
Karla hoped to learn more about this peculiar creature that had given her such ecstatic experiences.
‘It seems to understand human speech…
And it seems familiar with the human body…
Could it be someone’s pet…?’
Of course, she had been terrified when she first saw the spider-like creature, but it had shown such docile behavior, allaying her fears.
If it was indeed a pet monster, her judgment would gain some credibility, so she wanted to identify the creature’s species first.
“Hmm… It doesn’t seem to be an amphibian or a reptile…
It’s strange to call it a crustacean… A myriapod…?”
Four pairs of legs clung to its body.
It didn’t seem to have a distinct head, but there was a clear distinction between front and back. Upon closer inspection, there were several pairs of round orbs that resembled eyes.
It was similar to a spider, but the difference was that those creatures had hard exoskeletons, while this creature in front of her seemed to be made of flesh.
The only hard parts of this creature were the tips of its feet, which it used to grip the ground.
And those hard tips had given her such pleasure on her vulva and nipples…
‘Ah… I’m thinking about it again…’
Unconsciously squeezing her thighs together, she blushed and gently stroked the creature’s body.
As she stroked its back with a smile, she felt a slightly squishy sensation, her fingers bouncing elastically.
“S-should I just… look through everything…?”
Fortunately, she had time before her next class, and Karla, who planned to study in the library, had plenty of time.
She would do her best to find out what this creature was during the remaining time.
Thinking so, she began to focus and turn the pages, unaware that the creature was reading the book with her.

‘I finally made it to the library…?’
I had depleted my charge again by tormenting Karla to orgasm in the empty bathroom stall.
So, to replenish my charge, I had once again planted a seed in her womb. After recharging and coming out, I couldn’t help but be impressed as I looked around this place.
‘I wondered how it would go…
But gaining her favor makes things easier…’
As I watched the girl’s face, flushed and smiling down at me, I thought I should start planning my escape.
But when the girl suddenly expressed curiosity about my identity, I began to look at the contents of the book she was holding.
‘I still can’t understand the writing…’
The book was filled with incomprehensible letters.
But fortunately, I noticed that it contained illustrations of strangely shaped creatures, and I realized that this was the book I was looking for.
‘An animal encyclopedia…!! I can find an Enik here…!!’
Moreover, seeing the girl glancing back and forth between me and the book, I knew that she was interested in me and was looking for information.
‘Is this… going to get me caught all at once…?’
It seemed like I needed to do some behind-the-scenes work, so I slowly started climbing onto the book to coax the girl into reading it for me.
“H-hey… d-don’t… come up…”
When I put two of my legs forward and wiggled them up and down, the girl seemed to understand roughly, and I could hear her muttering.
“Y-you want me to… talk…? Okay…”
Looking around, she leaned in and whispered quietly. I listened to her as she read information about some unrelated animals.
But as fate would have it, a sudden gust of wind entered through the open window of the library, causing the papers to become a mess.
“Ah! The window! Close the window!”
And the wind didn’t spare the girl either. The page she was reading flipped over, and a strangely shaped animal illustration caught her eye.
An illustration of a slippery, earthworm-like creature.
But instinctively, I felt like I had seen that earthworm somewhere before. I jumped back onto the book and stopped the girl from trying to turn the page back in a panic.
“Eh… what’s wrong…?
You want me to stop…? Should I read it?”
I tapped the beginning of the incomprehensible text with the tip of my leg, and the girl tilted her head with a bewildered expression.
But she eventually listened to me and slowly began to read the contents of that page.
“Hmm… Enik…?”
‘I found it…!!’
At the first word from the girl’s mouth, I realized I had struck gold and began to concentrate on her voice.
“Eniks… are creatures that… eat or use female organisms for reproduction…
They are born as small larvae… and settle in one place…
They have plant-like characteristics? It’s amazing, but still too much… How can they do that to women…”
‘I think it’s amazing too. Except for being bored in one place.’
“Eniks that grow steadily in one place…
Can grow up to 50 meters… and their diameter also becomes very thick…
It is known that various parasites and toxic plants grow together where Eniks are located…”
The girl’s eyes, which had been tilting, stopped for a moment, and she made a shocking expression as if she couldn’t believe what she had seen.
And my tension gauge increased accordingly.
“But Eniks themselves have… increased recovery power and… aphrodisiac… properties…
Ehh… they… stimulate the estrus of… female animals… and use them as… nutrients…?
C-could it be…?”
This creature that had been playing her body like an instrument, stimulating her so skillfully?
The girl’s gaze turned to me, her face turning pale in an instant, and I was seriously considering whether to escape from this place immediately.
But it didn’t take long for me to realize that the thought was just a groundless fear.
“No way… this is Saint Plansina Academy…
There’s no way such a creature exists here…
And it doesn’t look anything like it, does it?”
‘Sorry… sorry for existing…’
Fortunately, the girl was lost in the complacent thought that this was a safe academy, and I swallowed a sigh of relief.
“Anyway… Eniks… um…
They steal the… eggs of females and use them to form a colony…?
A colony…? What kind of colony are they talking about…?”
From the girl’s muttering, I could roughly guess the content.
I had certainly extracted seven eggs from Vivian during her ovulation period.
Eggs, that is, these eggs could be used to produce members that could turn me, a single individual, into a colony, a collection of multiple individuals.
In game terms, it would probably feel like producing units.
‘I should do some research on what I can do when I get back later…’
It seemed that the basic survival mechanism of Eniks was to gradually increase the number of units they could control and dominate the ecosystem around them.
So, basically, there are two ways Eniks use females.
First, as a production tool to extract eggs and expand the colony.
And second, as a nutrient source to continuously receive nutrients for the growth of the colony itself.
Seeing the spider legs, which act as workers to bring in nutrients, being infinitely replicated through Vivian’s womb, it would probably be possible to scatter spider legs in all directions to bring in nutrients in normal cases.
‘What kind of mechanism is this from…?’
Perhaps in the distant past, when human intelligence was relatively low, there would have been no human females who rejected the pleasure-giving spider legs.
Since it felt good to have the clitoris bitten, they would rather pick it up from the street and openly bring it to their crotch, fluttering their hips and scattering fluids in front of others.
But as culture developed and people were injected with a sense of ethics, they not only rejected the pleasure given by monsters.
As public etiquette spread, history flowed in a way that emphasized face, and Eniks also had difficulty obtaining nutrients.
Therefore, it is not easy to see human females obediently spreading their legs and giving out fluids in this day and age, and it seems that it has become difficult to obtain nutrients in that way as the areas where humans live have expanded.
‘So that’s why they’re endangered…’
Of course, it’s not that they can’t collect from other animals, but humans are the most populous creatures per area and the most efficient to collect from.
And certainly, if it was labeled as an unethical creature to this extent, it wouldn’t be strange to be hunted.
It was a moment when I realized once again that I had to keep the secret as hard as possible.
