Chapter 286 – #2-27 Magical Girl Struggle (8)
Looking back at the memories of yesterday, I continued to move forward along her tracks.
If the location hasn’t changed, it’s time to see the monster soon.
Sure enough, a huge body like a mountain could be seen in the distance.
“It looks like it does. Are you that ignorantly large snail?”
“Yes. X is big?”
“It’s great. It’s as if it’s as big as I am.”
“It’s nonsense.”
“However…”
Pandol tilted her head in a serious voice.
“How come, don’t you think we’re getting closer?”
“What?”
She narrowed her eyes and glared at the snail again.
…Uh?
It’s really coming.
Its huge body, recognizable from a considerable distance, is gradually growing, and you can see it at a glance…
What happened?!
Wasn’t it just standing on the track?!
“What are you doing? Shouldn’t we check the situation quickly?”
“Ah, yes.”
Pandol tapped her head as if he was pathetic, so I decided to move without hesitation.
This is a wilderness full of rocks and sand.
It might have been a simple plain, but there were many deformed rocks here and there, as if they had been cut away by the sandstorm, so it was not difficult to hide.
When I got close enough to the giant snail, I hid on a rock and carefully watched it.
Kurrrr!
The snail was moving along her tracks, raising a thick cloud of sand.
‘Fast…!’
A terrifying speed unbefitting a snail. It’s literally a train.
I can’t see any other snails around, but if it’s that snail that looks bigger than yesterday, it can divide and increase its number, so it’s threatening enough.
“Are we going to the residential area?”
“It might just be moving along the tracks. If not, maybe he intends to attack any living creature.”
Wouldn’t that be better then?
It would be a good thing for me if [Mekrak] Perishes even if I just stay still.
“It’s a big deal! If you follow the tracks like this, you might end up going to the [Water City] Where Aden-nim is!”
“Uh, um…”
“Eight! What is the sword that is blankly there! It’s moving fast and fast! What are you doing, you incompetent magical girl!”
No, even if you say so.
If it’s Ade, he has a lot of grace, so he wants to save him, but that giant snail just ran away yesterday because he couldn’t do anything about it.
“Who told you to do that? There must be something in that lair! She wants to lead me there!”
“In that lair?”
“Okay! No time to explain! Top speed! Top speed!”
I didn’t even have time to ask again.
As Pandoli said, we turned around and moved forward along the track again so as not to be noticed by the giant snail.
Looking at the surrounding landmarks, I was able to recall a rough memory.
The den of the snails who broke up with the two mercenaries is right in front of you.
* * *
“Ah…! Kay!”
“Taoran!”
Lair of slugs.
Today, at the entrance of the den, which has been somewhat bizarrely empty, Taoran, like yesterday, was sitting against the wall.
I was worried that something might have happened to Taoran, since I heard that the mercenaries who went inside together did not return.
Fortunately, there seemed to be nothing wrong with Taoran’s body.
“What happened? Those mercenaries yesterday?”
“Huh… That’s…”
Taoran explained everything.
The mercenaries and the mercenaries proceeded smoothly by defeating a small number of snails into the cave, but at the end, the mercenaries became greedy for women and went out of their way.
It seems that they became nutrients and disappeared without even showing any resistance to the hordes of snails that came after them.
“Yesterday Kay went to tell the district office all the facts, so I was anxiously waiting for someone to come!”
Tao Lan pleaded, holding my hands with his eyes full of longing.
“Please! Help me save the girls inside! The body that becomes the nucleus of the snails replenishes magic power from the women in the back. Just that guy, if you take care of that guy, the giant snail heading to the residential area will also collapse on its own!”
Taoran is a sparkling beauty.
I don’t know about her, but her appearance has been retouched (for now, I am, but I don’t know about other magical girls). A very beautiful beauty who is not inferior at all even compared to magical girls.
If such a person asks her heartily and earnestly, whether he is a man or a woman, he will inevitably be shaken.
However, somehow the back of her neck feels sore…
“Okay, I get it. Please guide me inside.”
“Thank you!”
Taoran immediately turned her around and advanced inside her.
As bold as yesterday, full of energy, unstoppable steps.
I looked down at her footsteps and put a light question in her mouth.
“By the way, Taoran.”
“Yeah?”
“I’m the only one, is that okay?”
“It will be fine! If it’s Kay!”
“I think it would be better to bring in more people.”
“No! It’s okay if it’s Kei! Because Kay is strong! And when the giant snails go to their habitat, they need someone to guard them!”
“Yes…”
As I stroked the silent Pandoli clinging to her shoulder, I put one last question into my mouth.
“Hey, Taoran. Is it true that you–you are not human?”
Taoran’s footsteps, which had been advancing swiftly, stopped abruptly.
“…Yeah?”
“To be exact, is it true that you are the main body of those slugs?”
“No, what are you talking about, Kay. Even jokes…”
Tao Lan excuses himself by not turning his head,
“Okay. This Pandol is convinced. That woman is neither human nor a remodeled monster.”
That excuse was cut off by the pandori clinging to my shoulder.
“This pandori, a descendant of Adenim’s water family, confirms it! The moisture density inside that woman’s body is crazy! It’s not normal! A monster child mimicking a human body! Properly reveal your identity!”
On the way to this point, Pandori had already given me a rough explanation.
The truth that even the residents of 【Mekrak】 do not know.
The reason why [Mekrak] Can’t hurt women carelessly.
The men of this planet do not receive magic power from the stars, so in the end, they abandon their original bodies and transfer their minds to the bodies they were born with, leaving only consciousness data behind.
On the other hand, women are supplied with magical energy from the stars, so they all have living human bodies.
A living human body, not a body made like monsters, is precious. Something like a primal instinct to protect the seed of the race is what makes them want to protect this pure body somehow.
However, that is the primary reason.
【Queen】 There is another reason why the person herself put restrictions on her consciousness data so that she couldn’t harm women.
“A mutant monster bastard parasitized on the body of a poor woman who died! Don’t be shy and show yourself properly!”
A woman’s body, which is supplied with a lot of mana from the stars, gradually loses the mana supply as she gets older.
By the time he has enjoyed his heavenly life, he will be an empty body with no magic power left.
However, if you lose your life in an accident at a young age with sufficient magical power… The body that has lost control will sometimes run amok.
For example, creatures become parasitic, fuse with magical power, or become mutant monsters.
Or that the corpse itself becomes a powerful bomb and devastates the area.
That’s why, while coveting a woman’s body as a source of magical power, there is no choice but to pamper it to the point of being overdone.
So Pandori explained.
It’s a story that’s hard to believe.
However, she thinks that there is a truth somewhere.
Rather, she intuitively felt that Taoran was in danger, and she had no reason to reject that assumption.
“So, Taoran.”
After that, it’s speculation.
This star is dying every minute by its inhabitants.
Then, what purpose does the catastrophe produced by this planet, if it has intelligence, have?
“Is Pandoli’s words true?”
By mimicking people, deceiving people, skillfully capturing even a huge tank, and gathering strength like that.
Are the monsters gathered together acting with the purpose of destroying this planet?
“Answer me!”
There was no answer from Taoran.
But.
His neck bizarrely turned around.
One lap, two laps.
He looks at me and smirks with a creepy face.
“I got caught”
Moment.
Taoran’s body expanded.
* * *
“Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop… I didn’t expect to get caught. The magical girl she thought she had completely missed returned to her feet, so she just got excited, right?”
His clothes were torn as if they were melting, and strange tentacles hung from them.
Like snails do, tentacle-like antennae grow on the head, and each strand of hair moves in a winding manner like a living creature.
What scares me most is those eyes.
Those eyes, with no whites and the entire eyeball turning black, were repulsive enough to make me wonder if I could be cursed just by looking at them.
“How can I be a magical girl…”
“Whoops, your magic has a completely different feel from our planet’s. If you’re just a bit sensitive, you’ll know everything, right?”
Transformed into her monstrous form, Tao Lan stuck out her long tongue as her body trembled.
“Ah, I’m so glad. I’m glad Even so, she realized that a woman of this star could never give birth to a proper child… So she hoped for a stronger magical girl’s body… I never thought she’d come back to me like this! “
“Ugh…! Are you going to give birth to a child?”
“Yes.”
From her lower body, a slug body sprouts like her tail.
Her body floated in the air as if being guided by its tail, and Taoran’s fingers pointed at my stomach.
“Uhuhuhu, just imagine. I will pour my baby seed into your cute womb full of magic power. I’ll stir your body and your head to make you lay a lot of eggs, and in a matter of days you will conceive, raise, give birth… And repeat it over and over again.”
As if Taoran’s sweet voice is inviting, they enter through the ear canal.
Taoran’s voice was filled with her strange magical power, and it resonated directly with her brain.
‘Eww…’
What to do
She looks like she might be pregnant just by her voice.
My uterus is shaking from the inside… I don’t think I can stand up properly…!
