## Chapter 30 – Deepening Worries
“Haaa…”
A brown-haired girl sat at her desk, gazing silently out the window.
Her melancholic eyes and the small, deep sighs that escaped her slightly parted lips drew the attention of many.
“Carla, is something wrong?”
“Huh… uh…?! Oh… no…!!”
“It doesn’t seem like nothing’s wrong. What is it?”
“It’s just… I have a worry… It’s nothing!”
“Why? What is it?”
“No… really, it’s nothing…?”
The girl waved her hand dismissively, but her friends were relentlessly persistent.
“Hehehe~ Everyone!!
Carla has a crush on someone!!”
“Kyaaaa!! Who is it? Who is it? Tell us quickly!!”
The lively girls, taking the bait, began to swarm Carla, turning the classroom into utter chaos.
“Really… Heeek…!! It’s not!!”
“Don’t be like that…!! Tell us already?”
The situation was completely unexpected, but in a way, their deduction was somewhat reasonable.
For a girl who should be enjoying her youth, especially the ever-cheerful Carla, to have such melancholic eyes…
And seeing the faint blush on her face, her friends couldn’t help but feel certain.
“I’ve never seen Carla with that expression before!”
And for Carla, who was always either playing with her friends or diligently studying, to react like this?
In their minds, it had to be something related to a boy.
But Carla, waving her hands as if to stop them, looked utterly flustered.
“Is he in the Alchemy Department? Then is it Wellington? Jeffrey? Or someone from another department?
Gilford from the Smithing Department? Kylon from the Energy Engineering Department?”
“That’s right!! Lots of girls are after them…!!
Or… is it a prince only for Carla…?!”
“Kyaa!! Kyaa!! What should we do!!”
Watching her friends, who had taken the bait and were excitedly chattering away, Carla buried her face in her desk, looking like she was about to die from the unmanageable situation.
The events unfolding beneath the seated girl’s lower body were causing Carla to receive sudden attention, making her feel like she was dying.
‘H… How can I say this…!!’
The spider-like creature clinging to her lower body, taking the place of her underwear.
She had been trying to hide her expression and control her breath as she gazed out the window, thinking of feeding it lunch.
But now, thanks to her fellow Alchemy Department friends, who were approaching like hyenas smelling blood, she was cornered.
Her friends surrounded her, giggling, and her secret feeding session was happening less than a meter away from them.
Moreover, her flushed face was due to the involuntary pleasure, making it impossible for Carla to stop this.
If there was any saving grace, it was that the lewd spider, perfectly attached to her lower abdomen like underwear, was drinking up all the fluids that were flowing down and threatening to soak her crotch.
‘Huuu… I have to hold it in…’
Although she hadn’t officially adopted it, wasn’t she the owner of this spider?
She was feeding it her fluids and letting it sleep inside her, making her no different from the owner of a pet monster.
“Ehehe… a crush…”
Of course, it wasn’t that Carla disliked boys.
From the moment she came to the academy, she had been looking forward to a golden school life, even thinking about romantic relationships. It was just that she didn’t have the余裕 to endure the current pleasure.
Just then, a male student caught her eye as she turned her head.
He had a handsome, likeable face and a family that wouldn’t be outdone anywhere.
Lucas Proden, the second son of the Proden Earldom, was a popular Alchemy Department student among the freshmen.
His handsome yet cute appearance was so appealing that any female Alchemy Department student from Barmhausen who dreamed of a hot romance with a foreign male student would gulp at the sight of him.
But for some reason, Carla, who had inadvertently made eye contact with Lucas as he was talking to her friends, panicked and looked away.
Yet, she couldn’t help but glance back, only to find that he was still looking at her.
But at that moment, the spider-like creature sucked on her clitoris, causing Carla to startle again and turn away from Lucas.
“There might… be someone…”
Of course, the world was wide and there were many men, but if she were to enjoy her academy life, it would be best to be with a male classmate from the same department.
Thinking that, Carla unconsciously muttered to herself, and the girls started squealing again, as if they had heard her.
“What should we do!! It seems like there really is someone!!”
“We’ll help you!! Tell us quickly!?”
For various reasons, Carla’s face turned as red as a tomato, and she ended up collapsing on her desk, while the surrounding girls enjoyed watching her embarrassed state.
And the boy, intently watching Carla and blinking his innocent eyes, wore a small smile and returned to his conversation with his friends.

‘Good. At this rate, I might be able to secure enough…
growth momentum…’
It was shortly after digging the tunnel leading to the women’s restroom in the Magic Building.
I was troubled by a small problem in this period, when rumors about the ghost in the women’s restroom of the Magic Building were just beginning to spread.
For starters, it was good that I had ambushed a woman as the first test case, given her plenty of pleasure, and extracted a lot of fluids.
‘But that’s it…’
I could probably keep my growing body from withering away.
But I couldn’t deny that I had run into my second problem.
‘I’m… short on eggs…’
Eggs, one of the most important resources for increasing the number of individuals belonging to the Enic swarm, which can be extracted from females in heat.
Producing them was not an easy task.
“Eing…!! Not there…!!
Further up…!! Come in deeper…!!”
Lanie whined at the shallowly thrusting tentacle, pushing it further inside with her own hands and letting out a flushed moan.
And as if to help, Vivian hugged Lanie from behind and pinched her nipples with her slender, pretty fingertips.
My gaze fell on Vivian, who looked regretful, and as I pushed the tentacle back into her empty vagina, Vivian’s expression relaxed again and she let out a sweet sigh.
Eggs had to be collected by directly rummaging through the body of a woman in heat with tentacles.
If that happened, the identity of the tentacle would inevitably be revealed, and I couldn’t let a woman who knew my identity run around outside.
‘The loss of virginity can be restored, but grabbing just anyone is a big problem.’
The ten or so eggs I extracted from Vivian last time were ultimately used to create two Kernel Worms, and now they were traveling around, surveying various terrains and connecting tunnels.
But no matter how fast the two Kernel Worms were, that was based on my perspective inside their small bodies, and relatively speaking, their digging speed was slower than a human’s walking speed.
With just those two, I’m supposed to dig up this vast academy and create tunnels?
‘How much time will that take…
And I don’t have enough time to do what I’ve planned…’
Of course, it might be that I’m being impatient.
I have plenty of time, and if I wait, Vivian and Lanie’s heat will come again someday, and I might be able to collect twice as many eggs this time.
Then I could double the number of Kernel Worms and increase the amount of fluids I collect, or use them for other purposes.
But a subtle unease was constantly whipping me to keep running without stopping.
I had already interfered with Anne’s circumstances twice, and the unease that the results might come back to me.
It wasn’t just a feeling, but a strange sense of unease that Anne, who seemed to have a good intuition, was starting to sense something.
In that sense, I was thinking that I needed to come up with some kind of countermeasure as soon as possible.
‘My goal is survival…
Whether it’s running away or hiding somewhere…’
To achieve that, to reach a level where I could take out insurance against any danger that might come my way, I needed to grow in some way.
But in the opposite sense, it also meant that I had to bear the risks corresponding to confronting the dangers that would come my way in order to grow.
In that sense, I was focusing more on Carla, who I was trying to win over, than on Vivian and Lanie, who I had already caught.
I was clinging to her, trying to find out anything about the Enic, no matter how small.
‘It’s not something that can be easily solved this way either…’
Ultimately, what I’m trying to do is to drag someone into this den.
That means that, as I did to Vivian and Lanie, I would be dropping someone’s life into a den where they would give up their human lives.
Vivian and Lanie may seem satisfied right now, but how long will they quietly allow themselves to be exploited here?
They themselves know that this is not a human life.
‘It’s like taking away this scenery.’
The academy, a place of learning for humans, bustling with students and overflowing with energy.
Their last resting place of adulthood with friends, and the forefront of memories that can be built, whether they are enjoyable or painful.
How long will they be able to endure the loneliness and loss of being forcibly alienated from this place?
If the day comes when they give me a sad expression, reaching out to the tentacles that won’t let them go.
‘Will I be able to endure that guilt?’
Watching Vivian, who was licking a tentacle with a happy smile, Enic asked himself a question that would not be answered.
A small word from the outside world caught my ear, and a subtle premonition began to fill my mind.
‘Final exams…?’
