## Chapter 40 – The Mine With a Gangster?
Inside a large, dark room.
A woman on the bed, writhing and trembling, surrounded by people standing around the bedside, shuddered and let out shameful moans.
Even though it was a pre-arranged situation, having to writhe naked in front of several people was not a pleasant experience for her.
“Hngh…!! Hnnng…!! Ah…!! These sounds are embarrassing… Haaah…!!”
‘If you’re too loud, people will come… Just be quiet.’
The rabbit-eared woman twitched her ears and twisted her body.
As the only beastkin who could understand me, she was the first to accept my escape proposal, stepping forward as a test case to foresee what would happen to her fellow kin.
She would only be trusted and followed after they saw this, so, caught up in the atmosphere, she hesitated but slowly spread her legs for me.
That was why she tried to endure as much as possible, but this was beyond her threshold, and she couldn’t bear the shame that washed over her.
“Ugh…!! Eugh…!! Ubb…!!”
Eventually, a spider gently covered her face, pushing a small seed attached to its rear into her mouth, silencing her.
The sight of this form of union, something she had never imagined before, drew exclamations from the onlookers.
“Wow…”
Except for humans who forcibly violated them, the spectators had never imagined offering a baby room to someone other than their own kind.
The rabbit-eared woman, showing such a happy reaction even though she was in heat, created a strange atmosphere.
“Nooo… Don’t look… Hnnng… Hnnng… Woooo…!!”
Following the smooth curve of her abdomen as she vigorously thrashed her hips like a fish out of water, one could see her plump and luscious mound.
And between those thickly parted mounds, a strand of tentacle, like a parasite infesting its host, was embedded, burrowing into the woman’s crimson flesh.
As it dug into her vagina, vaginal walls, and cervix, the woman, writhing from the unprecedented sensation, eventually shed tears as the tentacle burrowed into her fallopian tubes and swallowed a small, heat-induced egg.
‘Hmm… Stimulating…’
Originally, I, as an Enic, was such a being, but overwhelmed by a sudden sense of guilt, I gently pushed the tentacle I had pulled out after finishing my business back into her mouth.
Then, with teary, blurred eyes, she accepted it, meticulously sucking the mucus and her own fluids from the tentacle, and I couldn’t help but spray thick, milky fluid into her throat.
“Ugh… Uuuugh!!”
‘Is this successful enough…?
And…’
I realized for the first time that I could harvest more eggs from this rabbit woman than from a human.
The fallopian tubes were wider than I thought, allowing the tentacle to penetrate deeply, reaching the rabbit woman’s ovaries.
I couldn’t harvest everything for her future, but I had struck gold by collecting a small clump of cells.
Although many of them were immature oocytes, I could find usable ones among them if I picked and chose carefully.
Indeed, I found a large number of relatively good eggs, and after modifying them and implanting them back into her uterus, I filled her uterus with a promoting fluid.
‘You endured well. Just wait a little longer.’
“Haa… Haa… Haaa…
I-Is it over…? Hng…”
At the woman’s question, who was struggling to suppress her rough breathing, I nodded with the tentacle, and the woman let out a sigh of relief and nodded her head.
It must have been that hard to endure.
And with so many people watching the whole process, it wouldn’t have been pleasant to be seen writhing with a tentacle stuck in her vagina.
However, she had stepped forward out of a sense of responsibility for initiating this contract, but the gazes of those watching her were, in a way, cold.
“Ugh… Do we have to do something like that…?”
“Is it okay…? We don’t have to go that far…”
Meanwhile, beastkin men and women who seemed to be paired off were whispering among themselves, expressing their displeasure.
‘Well, I understand.’
No matter how much I promise to help them escape, would they want to do something like this?
The woman would naturally worry about what would happen to her body, and the man would find it hard to watch his precious woman being toyed with by a strange alien worm.
Still, considering their position, it was a privileged complaint.
Already treated as less than human, they couldn’t muster the patience to take a step towards improving their situation.
That sight momentarily mirrored my past self, and I stopped thinking.
‘I was no different…’
Like them, I was just a fool who had collapsed on the spot.
That’s why I couldn’t completely fail to understand what they were saying, but it was still hurtful.
It felt like reliving the feelings of being oppressed and rejected by others in the past.
‘Feels a bit dirty.’
Perhaps sensing my emotions, the rabbit woman’s expression darkened slightly.
“B-Because we’re doing this… for the escape…
Hng… We need someone to help us…”
As she spoke urgently, as expected, no one answered.
Even after hearing that they would be helped to escape and explaining how to do it, it was only natural that no woman could bravely step forward.
“H-How can you ask us to do something like this…!!
I can’t ask Zela to do this…!!”
“It’s creepy… We’re not so degraded that we have to do this…!!
Do we really have to entrust our bodies to this worm…?”
Since learning the method, distrust poured out towards me from both men and women.
And eventually, that distrust was directed towards the rabbit woman who had grabbed onto me, the lifeline.
“Pina… Why did you bring something like this…!!
Are you taking revenge because we didn’t help you when you became a human’s seed-bearer?”
“There’s a right way to work hard!!
Is it even possible to escape like this?
And there’s no guarantee that this guy will keep his promise…!!”
In the end, the rabbit woman, ‘Pina,’ who was being bombarded with accusations, began to look around at the surrounding beastkin with a bewildered expression.
Pina’s actions, driven by her own desperation and hope, were now being met with criticism, and she seemed to be having doubts about the current situation.
“I… I… If we can see a future again, even like this…!!”
“Waste of time. Let’s just rework the rebellion plan.”
“Ah…”
Despite Pina’s desperate pleas, having already sacrificed her own body to overcome this situation, a dark shadow was cast over her face as the beastkin turned away.
“Haa… Pathetic…”
And at that moment, a small sigh was heard from the corner of the dark room, and everyone’s gaze focused on that spot.
It was a place where no one had been just a moment ago.
Especially the beastkin, whose various senses had evolved to be sensitive, were startled by the voice of someone who had suddenly appeared as if from the ground.
“You’re just lumps of meat waiting to die…
Even when given a chance to stay alive, you throw it away.”
But even though everyone was questioning the voice, no one spoke to it.
They were ‘rats in a trap,’ trapped in this room, which was wide if wide, and narrow if narrow.
The survival instinct brought about by animalistic senses.
They already knew.
That the existence that had appeared before them could annihilate all of them in this place and still have strength to spare.
“Then since you’re just lumps of meat that will rot anyway, I guess it’s okay if I have a taste?”
Gently tucking her red hair behind her ear, she, Arachnella, licked her blood-red lips and approached the only light in the room, a lantern, and the room transformed into a cauldron of chaos.
“Ugh… Aaaargh!!”
“Where did that thing come from!! Save me!!”
“Shut your mouths?”
But even that chaos was easily subdued by her, and it quickly subsided.
I had brought Arachnella here thinking that if I could get the beastkin’s cooperation, we could talk together, but now that things had gone wrong, I had dragged her into a feeding pit.
Those who saw the large tunnel that had appeared in the corner of the room, big enough for Arachnella to pass through, finally understood the situation.
“The tunnel is in pretty good condition?
Surely if there are more like that, we can easily escape from here.
And for that, the female’s baby seeds are needed…
It’s a shame the plan fell through?”
‘Arachnella…’
“Well, the plan fell through…
But you brought me so much prey.
Not a bad dowry.”
‘Huh…?’
Spiders, along with praying mantises, are one of the most representative insects where the female eats the male after mating.
But there are cases where this doesn’t happen, such as when the male brings food to the female, and while the female is distracted by it, they mate.
Although she was a relatively intelligent being close to humans, she still had that spider instinct, and she looked at the wriggling Enic tentacles with a satisfied expression, licking her lips and scanning the beastkin with sticky eyes.
‘But I’m not Arachnella in the first place…?’
Momentarily speechless, I blankly stared at Arachnella, who was looking at the trembling beastkin, but she simply ignored my words and slowly opened her mouth.
“You beastkin have a choice.
One is to be eaten here and fill my belly.”
Her alluring eyes narrowed slightly, and a truly unexpected word flowed from her pomegranate-red lips that seemed ready to burst.
“If not, will you offer your baby seeds for my master’s plan?”
