「No!」

Tamamus.h.i.+'s voice resounded in the room.

「Please. I have to be on the frontline, but my body's too fragile」

I spoke to Tamamus.h.i.+ who's currently glaring hatefully at me.

「Absolutely no! I used that bug on Asahina because I had no other choice! Also, it was a complete miscalculation that the bug underwent mutation! It's not just because I'm thinking about you! I will never use that bug ever again!」

「I know. I knew about this already, but――」

「No you don't! you don't know anything!」

I bowed deeply in plead, but it was cast away just like that.

「That bug was a product of a miscalculation! No matter how good or useful that bug is, it's still a work of a failure! Do you understand how dangerous that is!? I cannot predict what changes it may undergo!」

I understood where Tamamus.h.i.+ was coming from. It's because I already knew about it that I had expected her to refuse my proposal.

But I can't afford to give up. I'll continue to plead earnestly until I get her permission.

The bug that was used on Asahina had exceeded Tamamus.h.i.+'s expectations. So far, the side effects were being supressed by the bug, and it's a really effective bug that increases the recovery speed of one's body.

However, it was unexpected for such a bug to do that.

That's precisely why it being successful exceeded Tamamus.h.i.+'s expectations, and being the one who created that bug, it was impossible for her to predict its mutations.

Also――

「In other words, you're unsure whether or not you're able to create another bug that's the same as that one」

Tamamus.h.i.+ who had her head hanging down gave a slight nod to my query.

「As a researcher, it's an extremely deplorable outcome……」

Tamamus.h.i.+ mumbled, still casting her gaze downwards.

If the bug used on Asahina was the product of an unexpected slim chance that gave birth to a new type of bug, which is the bug that it has become now.

Then that bug possesses an enormous side effect. And if used by another person other than a bug user, it will result in the inevitable destruction of the mind and soul of that certain individual.

It will be impossible for ordinary people to be able to endure the side effects but having the possibility that Asahina might be able to do so, Tamamus.h.i.+ was willing to take a shot in the dark.

And an unexpected miscalculation occurred.

「Suzuhara, I beg you, please reconsider your decision」

Tamamus.h.i.+ who had her hanged her head down, brought it up to meet my gaze. Her expression showed no anger nor anything, it was an expression that was purely concerned about my wellbeing.

I'm in a bit of a bind. No matter how much I ask, I can't get Tamamus.h.i.+'s head to shake vertically.

That was bad luck. Bad timing.

Tamamus.h.i.+ who had her long silver tied up in a ponytail.

Up until now, she has always let it loose, yet why does she tie it up into a tight ponytail now?

Moreover, it suits her so surprisingly well.

Ponytails. I'm weak against them.1

「Well, is there any other way to strengthen my body?」

If I take a single blow in a fight against Kudan, that'll be the end of me. Even if it doesn't kill me, the chances that it will to incapacitate me is extremely high.

I want a body that can tank at least one hit.

「If there is, then Asahina will be using it」

「That's true」

In addition to the bug that was used on Asahina, it's understandable that if there are any bugs that strengthens the body or ones that increases recovery rate, it will be also used on her instead.

「Body enhancement is possible. However, there is a time limit to it」

「Eh!?」

「Nani!?」

To Nanafus.h.i.+'s mutter, Tamamus.h.i.+ and I both raised our voices at the same time.

Seeing Tamamus.h.i.+ getting all startled means that even she doesn't know about it.

「The application of the Bug Energy Circulation Method. It could be done through refining a bug user's bug energy and sharing it to others. It requires a pretty advanced levelled skill, but if it goes well, it is possible for it to produce a moderate level of body enhancement. It is only a possibility, do you understand? Besides, the chances for it to succeed is extremely low, and even if it does succeed, there is still a time limit to it」

Nanafus.h.i.+ explained it with an indifferent att.i.tude.

Tamamus.h.i.+ who was dumbfounded, was now taken aback by Nanafus.h.i.+'s words

「The application of the Bug Energy Circulation Method!? Sharing refined bug energy to others!? Impossible! I have never heard such a story!」

Tamamus.h.i.+ outright denies Nanafus.h.i.+'s explanation.

As expected, Tamamus.h.i.+ doesn't know about it at all.

「That's right. Without a man, this method will never work. Furthermore, there are also risks to it. To a bug user, a man is a valuable being. And what they want from them is the sperm from the s.e.m.e.n. But there is no point in taking risks strengthen a body of a man. Moreover, it also has a time limit. It makes it all the more pointless. So that knowledge has long been forgotten. There were only a handful of researchers who knew about this lost method three hundred years ago when I was born」

Tamamus.h.i.+ was once again stunned by Nanafus.h.i.+'s news.

Lost knowledge, huh.

The knowledge three hundred years ago, when Nanafus.h.i.+ was created.

I'm in luck.

「What are the risks?」

「Bug energy is similar to poison for ordinary people. But I don't think it will be lethal if they get a small dose of it. Also, the side effects are different depending on the person. If there is a chance where nothing will happen to that individual, then there is also a chance where one could be bedridden for several days. It also depends on your compatibility with it as well. There are chances where you could instantly adapt to it, but the chances of you never being able to adapt to it no matter how steadily you go is also plausible. If that happens, then there are no other options than to give up」

「I see」

So, the worst-case scenario will be result in being bedridden for several days.

It seems that if I couldn't adapt to it, then that's it, but if it does happen, then I would have a stronger body.

Although it has a time limit, if I know how to use it, then it's ascertained that I can.

「We don't have much time. Let's do it immediately, please」

「There is also another problem」

Nanafus.h.i.+ held out her right index finger, stopping me in my tracks.

「I can also more or less use that method as well. However, I only have the knowledge for it, so I don't have any actual experience. Moreover, it's very inefficient to do it with me. The reason is that I get my bug energy from master. In other words, if you do it with master, the likelihood of it being successful will be a lot higher. The chances with me are…you know」

It is possible to do it with Nanafus.h.i.+, but in comparison, the chances are much higher with Tamamus.h.i.+ huh.

「It needs a lot of training. But if you manage to do it, then master will reap more benefits from it than Suzuharsama. If that happens, perhaps master will become ten times stronger than she is currently. No, maybe she'll even become an insect user who can rival Kudan. But that's all talk unless you manage to do it」

「Ooh! Oh my!」

Stunned until now, Tamamus.h.i.+ raised a voice in delight after hearing Nanafus.h.i.+'s words.

「Is Kudan that legendary insect user!? Did you say that I can become an insect user who can rival Kudan!?」

「That's only if you can do it with Suzuharsama. I think it's impossible though」

「Why!? Is it because I have no talent!?」

「Ah, no, when you mentioned talent, it may indeed require some, but how do I put it, this method may be unsuitable for master……」

「I'll do my best! I'll give it all I've got! So teach me!」

「Eh, ehh, well, I don't really mind teaching it to you……」

Contrasting Tamamus.h.i.+'s motivation, which is filled with vigour, Nanafus.h.i.+ on the other hand seems half-a.s.sed and indecisive about it.

「T-Then……shall we put it to practice?」

Having said that, Nanafus.h.i.+ plopped and lied down on the ground. Looking up at me, she exposes her unmatured smooth slim p.u.s.s.y to me

「Suzuharsama, is it ok if you stick your d.i.c.k inside of my p.u.s.s.y?」

「Haa!?」

Hearing Nanafus.h.i.+ nonchalantly ask such an indecent request, Tamamus.h.i.+ instantly turned around and with her face dyed completely red, she raised a voice from extreme shock.

「W-Wh-WhWhat on earth are you saying!」

「Well, it's because there isn't any other way to show you how it's done though」

「Really!? Is this really necessary!? Aren't you just trying to have s.e.x with Suzuharsama!?」

「So rude. I certainly do love things that make me feel good and I also want to feel what it's like to be embraced by a real man, but I'm being serious right now」

「Nukuu2」

Nanafus.h.i.+ calmly replied Tamamus.h.i.+'s angry remarks. It looks like Tamamus.h.i.+ is more exasperated than she is baffled at the moment.

She is now like a completely different person compared to the time when she was calmly teaching Hizuki and co. in how to service me while exposing all her private areas.

Did p.u.b.erty come late for her?

Although she has her mouth kept shut, Tamamus.h.i.+ doesn't seem to be convinced about the situation with Nanafus.h.i.+.

「Besides, I'm also quite nervous about it……」

Nanafus.h.i.+ muttered, giving Tamamus.h.i.+ a displeased look. Hearing Nanafus.h.i.+'s mutter, Tamamus.h.i.+ who was looking down, became red all the way up to her ears. As she bites down on her lower lip and tears well up inside her eyes, the trembling Tamamus.h.i.+ holds herself tightly.

Why does it look like you're about to cry?

「I'm only doing this once, alright? Afterward, master will have to put everything to practice」

「Umu?」

Reacting to Nanafus.h.i.+'s words with a twitch, Tamamus.h.i.+ raises up her face and looks at Nanafus.h.i.+.

「It's better to not think that you can learn it just by doing it once or twice. You'll have to do it at least a hundred times」

「Hya, a hundred times……♡」

Tamamus.h.i.+ now listened to Nanafus.h.i.+ words with her head now completely raised up and leaked a joyful voice as she covered her mouth with both hands.

「I don't think master will be able to learn it in the first place. But in order to fufil Suzuharsama's request, there is now a need to give it your all, I guess. If one hundred times doesn't work then we'll have to do it a hundred more」

「Umu♡」

Now seemingly convinced to Nanafus.h.i.+'s words, Tamamus.h.i.+ looked ecstatic and is now giving big nods.

It looks like her mood has improved.

Don't tell me that Tamamus.h.i.+ was jealous of Nanafus.h.i.+ having s.e.x with me? And after listening to Nanafus.h.i.+'s explanation, her mood suddenly improved because she was about to have a lot of s.e.x with me?

So that means――。

「Well Suzuharsama, is it ok if we begin right now?」

「Ah, Aah」

The ponytailed Tamamus.h.i.+ was smiling from ear to ear at the demotivated me as I kneeled down in between Nanafus.h.i.+'s legs. I then unzipped my pants, pulled out my c.o.c.k and glanced at Tamamus.h.i.+.

Seeing me take out my c.o.c.k, Tamamus.h.i.+ averts her gaze and timidly pokes at her index fingers as she squeezes her thighs together and fidgets around.

Is Tamamus.h.i.+ in love with me or does she just want my c.o.c.k? Honestly speaking, I have no clue.

Leaving that aside, aah, f.u.c.k, ponytail Tamamus.h.i.+ really tickles my heartstrings. Furthermore, she looks so much more like a girl when compared to before, and her t.i.ts have also gotten bigger.

If she says that she wants a hug from me, I'll gladly offer myself up to hug her. Actually, I want to make her go ahegao.

As I got excited from thinking about that, my c.o.c.k has now become unnecessarily erect.

c.r.a.p. My partner is Nanafus.h.i.+ who's more of a loli than Tamamus.h.i.+. Even her p.u.s.s.y is quite small. Will my thick and erected c.o.c.k even be able to go inside it?

I don't feel like it's possible. What am I saying? It's absolutely impossible.

「What's wrong? Is it because you're looking out for me? If so, I'm overjoyed about it, but it's ok, because I'm not a human」

Not a human. Hearing Nanafus.h.i.+ say that in such a calm and composed way, made my chest tighten.

「I don't care whether you're a human or whatever. Wasn't it you who said that if someone becomes my comrade, I'll become soft to whoever that person is right?」

I don't like humans, nor do I hate them. To be honest, I don't care.

But, if that person accepts me, even if they aren't human, I don't mind.
