I Became a Tentacle Monster Blooming in the Academy Garden 34

## Chapter 34 – A Multitude of Ladies

The prestigious Tang Family of the Chaoxing Empire.

As a renowned family of bioengineering, the Tang Family, which researches various human body modifications and drug combinations, was also famous for successfully creating a large number of modified humans.

However, the Tang Family’s soaring reputation was only made possible by the countless failures that had been hidden.

This being was also one of those failures of the Tang Family, merely a stepping stone to success.

‘Arachnella… Why is something like that here…?’

That something like that exists in this academy, in this dungeon where we’ll be taking a special evaluation soon.

‘Or is that the target of the special evaluation…?’

But what’s important is that my precious Kernel Worm is caught in the strong clutches of this deadly being.

What else matters when the Arachnella, who doesn’t look like she’d eat even an earthworm, let alone a Kernel Worm, is looking down at me, smacking her lips with that beautiful smile?

Whether it was always like that or not, the sight of her sharp fangs gleaming as she smiled was truly shocking.

“It won’t fill me up, but it’ll stave off the hunger…
Hmm…? On second thought, it’s subtle…? An Enik burrow worm…”

‘What’s subtle…!! If it dies, the hive will regress for a month…!!’

“Hive? How is Enik creating a hive in human territory?”

I was only thinking about how screwed I was and struggling to save the Kernel Worm, but I felt my whole body tremble at her chilling whisper.

‘What is it…? Is she reading my mind?’

“Thoughts… It’s mysterious that Enik has such ‘thoughts’…
A variant…? Or a mutation…?”

No matter how I think about it, something is seriously wrong with the current situation.

Because it’s hard to figure out what’s going on, I momentarily stopped thinking.

“But it doesn’t matter. I just need to fill my belly…”

Then, as the Arachnella began to open her mouth again to devour me, I was startled and hurriedly started thinking.

‘Wait!! Just a minute!! Excuse me!!’

“Won’t you just let me eat you?
I can understand your ‘thoughts,’ but that’s also tiring, you know?”

‘If you’re going to eat me anyway, can’t you talk to me first!!
You can at least do that, can’t yo… u…?’

“Well, is there something you want to ask?
But you’re going to die soon… Is it worth it…?
Ufufufu…”

‘It’s worth it… First of all, can you…
Can you do something about those teeth…?’

The Arachnella, looking down at me with an absurd expression as if I’m a prey with too many demands, let out a hollow laugh and slowly began to purse her lips.

“Alright, what do you want to talk about?”

‘Um… What’s your… What’s your name…?’

It was just a question I blurted out of survival instinct, but it was a question with terribly little tact.

But as if the situation itself was funny, the Arachnella chuckled and slightly revealed her sharp fangs.

“Do you even have a name?
Then do you think I would have a name?”

‘That was a weird question…
Then why are you… here?’

“I was caught by those vermin-like humans. That’s all.”

Perhaps my question was starting to make her feel bad, as the Arachnella’s beautiful face began to wrinkle slightly.

Although the sight of her blood-red eyes being crescent-shaped behind her thick-lashed, sculpted eyelids was too beautiful, it gave me a creepy feeling.

I thought that any ordinary man might be captivated by that beauty and eaten without question.

‘Then… do you know why you were caught here?’

“How would I know? Even if I did, it wouldn’t change anything.
As long as those things block me, I can’t do anything.”

Anyway, as I continued to ask questions to buy time, I was able to grasp her situation to some extent.

‘Then… maybe…’

The thought that suddenly came to my mind was problematic because I wondered if it was even possible, but in a way, it was a thought that could bring unimaginable benefits if it were possible.

Again, while I was lost in thought, the Arachnella seemed to think that my questions were over, and there were signs that she was about to swallow me again.

And I tried to dissuade her with a slightly calmer feeling than before.

‘Just one last thing, really.
I’m just asking in case, but don’t you want to be free from here?’

“Freedom?”

‘From those guys, from the humans.
Don’t you want to get away completely?’

At my meaningful words, the Arachnella’s eyes became even more squinted as she glared at me.

Was it suspicion, or hesitation with a glimmer of hope?

Or perhaps, does ‘hope’ also exist for her, a being who has the same ‘thoughts’ as me?

“Hmm…”

Unlike her, I can’t look into her thoughts.

So I can’t know the intention of her looking down at me while holding me.

Soon, the strength gradually began to leave her hand holding the plump body of the snake-like Kernel Worm, and she completely released me, dropping me to the ground.

‘Cough…!!’

I was dizzy from the impact of falling to the ground, but I soon regained my balance and began to look up at her.

The creepily beautiful smile of her slowly bending down to look at me seemed to contain many things I didn’t know.

After the encounter with the Arachnella, I burrowed back into the ground and dug tunnels even more diligently, organizing the plan in my head.

The Arachnella, who had let me go too easily without knowing what I was thinking, nodded occasionally as she listened to my words, and she showed an enchanting smile as she watched my back as I burrowed back into the ground and disappeared.

‘It feels like things are working out?
But it’s still difficult with just this…’

The deal with the Arachnella was made, and through the unexpected encounter with her, I had even managed to find a helper.

But even if I had reinforcements, the fundamental problem remained the same.

The biggest problem for me right now was that this place where I, where we are, is Saint Plancina Academy, that itself.

‘Getting out of here is realistically difficult…’

The academy’s boundary fence was said to be able to detect if something was leaving, whether it was for thorough security or something else.

In Vivian’s case, as a result of collecting various rumors, all attention was focused on the entrance because there was no trace of anything entering or leaving the fence.

But having the Arachnella go through that entrance was not a realistic solution in itself, so I had to find an alternative.

‘It’s best to have a win-win situation.’

She helps me, and I help her.

Perhaps in line with the purpose of the special evaluation, she would eventually be attacked from all directions by the students participating in the special evaluation, and in the end, her beautiful appearance would be rendered useless as she would be brutally murdered, becoming a lump of meat.

Of course, as someone who was human in my past life, I understand the human perspective.

Monsters threaten humans in themselves, and therefore they must be exterminated.

But now I am that monster.

But even I am now struggling to live, and it wouldn’t be any different for the Arachnella.

‘The only way is to disappear…’

To erase her as if she never existed in this world, so that it wouldn’t be strange at all if her existence disappeared.

‘Like I did with Vivian…’

I roughly thought about it.

‘Taking away a monster like the Arachnella, who was caught for the special evaluation, without thinking?’

If I did such a thing without thinking, a thorough search of the entire academy area might begin immediately, which means that the possibility of me being caught would also increase.

She was a very special being in this event, in a way, having been caught all the way from near Chaoxing specifically for this special evaluation.

Because of such an Arachnella, even more elaborate camouflage was needed to smuggle her out.

Before I knew it, I had crawled through the tunnels past several rooms, and I realized that there was an empty space in front of me, so I slowly dug a hole.

After arriving at their accommodation, which I had seen in the large common area where the Ains were gathered earlier, I carefully poked my head out of the wall again, and I was able to find a rabbit-eared Ain woman sprawled naked on a bed, letting out small, tearful, panting moans.

‘It’s that woman from earlier…’

Because of the number of people, the accommodation was quite spacious compared to the size of the door, and the woman was sprawled alone on a bed in that large space.

As I watched her helplessly scattering her limbs, except for her twitching rabbit ears, and dripping thick, white liquid from her crotch, it seemed that the mercenary’s idea of cumming outside had ultimately been rejected in his brain.

Whether the mercenary who had already violated her was gone or not, I was looking down at the woman who seemed to be suppressing the feelings between arousal and lamentation, and I went out of the hole and slowly began to approach her.
