Chapter 581 – Episode 529 – The Taste of the Beast Carved Into Units! (2)
‘…Why did I act so thoughtlessly…?’
I was so careful. She is Rafina who unknowingly consumed a suspicious drink.
No matter how much she didn’t know, she couldn’t figure out why she had done such a careless thing.
She was feeling bewildered by the sight of the strange men, but that shouldn’t have affected the thinking unit’s judgment.
As if she had been possessed, the units in her body emitted a scream-like error, disturbing Rafina’s senses.
‘…Still, it’s not as good as the drink I drank when I first infiltrated… At this rate…’
Once she got out of her cafe, Rafina sat on a bench near her, checked the condition of her units, and let out a sigh of relief.
An unpleasant sense of heterogeneity remains, but the situation of the units is not severe enough to be controlled.
It was only a sip and it wasn’t as rich as the previous drink, so it didn’t seem to have a big impact on the units.
‘The taste unit is a little strange… But there is no problem in carrying out the mission… But…’
Looking at the cafe where she jumped out, Rafina tilted her head at the strange feeling she was experiencing for the first time.
She was still thinking she would get some more info. An unknown nuisance that caused her to unknowingly storm out of her shop.
She had come across a strange vehicle that disturbed her units, but she couldn’t understand why she felt such a displeasure.
The men in the store who looked at her as if they desperately wanted something from her, and the strange feeling that such men felt like filth.
She was such a foreign and unconventional sensation to Rafina, a golem who had never had feelings for anyone.
‘Do humans ever feel this kind of emotion when meeting someone… It’s an unpleasant feeling that’s hard to describe… Huh?’
Her disgust towards someone she is experiencing for the first time, she briefly relives that feeling and wishes she would never experience it again.
A rather plain-looking young man approached Rafina, and she began to hesitate as if she had something to say.
“…What are you doing?”
“That, that, that…”
Aside from his somewhat light-hearted face, he was a young man with a very ordinary appearance.
She asked Rafina, who was thinking about the case when a man spoke to her. The young man hardened her expression as if he had made up his mind and knelt down beside Rafina.
“I-I…! Oh, female…! It looks like you came to see the male residence, can I guide you!?”
“Ha…? Uh, what…”
“I-I will be your temporary pet, and I will guide you everywhere! Please, if you put a leash around my neck and drag me around…!”
I was wondering what to see. Embarrassingly, a young man kneels to himself and begs to be guided by him.
Even asking him to drag himself, the young man clung to Rafina’s leg as if pleading.
“Please, please…! Because of a mistake I made at work, I was banned from entering the business for 3 weeks as a punishment…! Burr, I haven’t received any rewards from females for over 10 days already!!”
“Float, fall! I, so…!”
“If I don’t get more awards than this, I really…! Please, give me a chance to be a toy for the female…!!”
“Let go!!”
Could it be because of the request of a man with a bad mood? Or, is it because he judged that he would not be helpful in carrying out the mission?
I don’t know why, but Rafina didn’t mean to, and she kicked the young man unknowingly.
“Cheuk! Ugh, haha…! Go, thank you…! My, please me, more…!”
He’s obviously a good looking human. The look of a young man rejoicing as he was kicked to the point that his nose was bleeding.
As the young man rubbed his cheek against Rafina’s feet, Raphina’s emotional unit started to generate unpleasant discomfort again.
“…Feeling bad…Feeling bad!”
“Ah, ah…! Ah, female! Please…!”
To that displeasure, Rafina started running out of the males’ quarters, even though Rafina hadn’t gotten enough information yet.
‘What the hell is this… These feelings…! Why is this in the emotional unit…!’
Even though he did something incomprehensible, there was no way he would feel this disgust.
With her emotion unit creating feelings of displeasure and not listening to her own control, Rafina felt her embarrassment and started running towards the entrance she came from.
‘Is it because of that car…? I just took a sip…?’
Rafina feels her questioning why her own emotion unit is creating such strange emotions.
As much as the tea she just drank at the store was not as strong as the drink she drank before, she was cleverly manipulating Rafina’s emotional unit.
Rafina, who is not fully aware of that fact, checks her own physical condition with her still intact thinking ability.
While checking her body like that, Rafina suddenly remembered the strange feeling she had felt since entering the city.
She said, ‘…She is not just a drink… The energy of the tesser that fills this city… Thought there was no influence, but she gradually changed the units of her body…’
A tesser that is so thick that it affects the emotions and actions of ordinary humans just by entering it.
Sensing once more the tesser, which is nothing short of her poison, she feels it coiling itself sticky all over her body, as if trying to burrow into her own body.
The feeling of Tesser entwined around her so badly that it made her doubt that it was affecting even her own body, her golem.
But for some reason, unlike when the tesser came in, it felt oddly pleasant.
‘…I can’t help it… With this situation, I can’t possibly get any information from those men…’
Discomfort like seeing a dirty beast. And, another emotion I felt the moment I saw that filthy beast begging.
So baffled by her first feelings, Rafina finally decided to stop her search for her male quarters and explore elsewhere.
‘There won’t be anything else to see anyway… Those inferior beings probably won’t have information that could help them assassinate that monster…’
Rafina glances at the men passing by and judges them as inferior without realizing it.
Without realizing what she was referring to those males.
That’s how Rafina got out of the place where the toys of the beasts were gathered.
************************************************** ************************************************** *******
“Oh my~♡ That’s right~♡ For some reason, whenever I talk about males, they frown~♡”
“Ha. It’s not that males don’t have other feelings… But they do. I don’t know why, but it was a really bad place…”
By the time 4 days had passed since Rafina had left her male residence.
After finishing the day’s exploration, she entered a restaurant near the hotel and casually started talking to the owner of the shop.
Originally, she was going to change her restaurant every day so that no one would remember her face.
But for some reason, she thought that Rafina, she would self-destruct anyway, but she didn’t need to, she just started getting information from the proprietress of this store.
Laplace expresses doubts about Rafina’s careless judgment and sends instructions to obtain more detailed information.
However, as the days passed, Rafina felt that Laplace’s instructions to go from place to place were annoyed little by little, even though she was only looking at them.
If she was left alone, she would figure out her information on her own. Laplace’s instructions felt like they were interfering with her exploration of the city.
Without knowing that her own emotional unit and her thinking unit were making strange decisions, Rafina continued her search for Ladia.
“Then, how was the congratulatory speech for Mjoma that you went to today? It’s a place where monsters live, so wouldn’t it make you feel bad?”
“…That one wasn’t particularly offended. On the contrary, the monsters called “Eumjoma” Were cuter than I thought.”
“Right? Whoops. Inferior males are frightened even by such a cute mummer♡”
“Is that so… Really, men are incomprehensible creatures…”
Although Laplace’s instructions are annoying, Lafina thinks that she is taking good care of Ladia based on the instructions.
But now Rafina didn’t know at all.
She knew that the way she was in Ladia that she thought she was taking good care of herself, she was actually hiding a vital core of her that was aligned with the intentions of her beasts.
Lafina is following the guides of the beasts and conveying only irrelevant information to Laplace, without grasping her most important core.
It wasn’t just because of the high concentration of tesser spread throughout Radia.
“I wonder where on earth such modest monsters came from…”
“Well~? Huhu…♡ Now, here is Miss Helian’s favorite set menu ♡ Steak set meal with sauce ♡”
“As far as liking it… Well, no. Thank you.”
The proprietress of the shop offers Raphina, who uses an alias, a steak menu covered in a cheese-like yellow sauce, while avoiding answering subtly.
When the menu, which was served with salad or steak and garnish with plenty of sauce, appeared, Rafina grabbed a fork and knife and began to eat her meal.
“Umm… Originally, I didn’t care about the food… But the food at this restaurant is really delicious. Especially this sauce…”
“Oh, thank you~♡ I’m really happy that Miss Helian said that♡ There are plenty of sauces, so let me know if you need more♡”
“Yeah. Thank you… Um. Somehow today seems more delicious than yesterday.”
The doll’s meal, which had no favorite taste, because it was just getting energy to move its body.
However, as the sensors of the taste unit began to get used to the taste of the beast, a taste for the taste of food began to develop inside her.
It’s like a taste I’ve tasted somewhere, but I can’t quite remember where it is, this fishy yet rich taste.
In the taste of the superior male prepared by the female beasts, Rafina had unknowingly tamed her units to the point of not making any errors.
Since there is no error response, the doll does not know that her body has been altered, and she carefully savors and swallows the soggy steak with only blush on her expressionless face.
The proprietress and the females of the store were watching the doll with delightful smiles.
“…Anyway, Ms. Helian. The tone horses I saw today. Compared to the males you saw on the first day, which one do you like more?”
“Of course they are tone horses. Well… From that solid body to great stamina. I don’t know what to say, but compared to the tone horses, those obnoxious males made me think that they were inferior beings that couldn’t even reach the tip of a hair on a tone horse. I felt like I knew why Ladia was discriminating against me.”
“Whoops. That’s right~♡ Miss Helian is starting to understand Radia now~♡”
In response to Rafina’s answer, who seems to regard men as inferior to the monsters they raise, the proprietress shows a genuinely satisfied smile.
After asking her obscure question, the hostess looked at the quirky doll enjoying the dish she had made, with an expression as if she were licking her lips.
“…Miss Helian. This time… I think Miss Helian will be able to get into something fun. How is it? Are you interested?”
“Is this a fun place…?”
“Yes♡ Miss Helian. Didn’t she say she was looking around to see if she could live in Ladia? Perhaps if she goes there, she will make up her mind to stay in Ladia all the time?”
The proprietress, who brings up stories that Rafina has made excuses for, as if she would be very satisfied with Rafina.
At her doll, who tilted her head as if she didn’t understand her meaning, the proprietress giggled and sprinkled more of her yellow sauce on the plate of Rafina.
“This sauce Miss Helian likes. You should be able to enjoy the taste of this sauce properly…♡ How is it?”
I’m just looking around the city anyway. A hostess who solicits unknown places as if she is tempting.
The doll, who was savoring the ecstatic taste that spreads through her taste unit, felt an interesting emotion from her emotion unit…
Unknowingly, she nodded her head as she swallowed the sauce and meat.
