No One Knows What This Is! (8)

So, wheres the successful experiment?

Morning.

I asked this as soon as I got to the lab.

Then Elle Cladeco pointed at my bottom.

Judas, youre sitting on it.

The hell?

I immediately stood up from my seat.

When I got up, the thing I had assumed was a new fur couch for the lab started to lumber around all over the place.

That fluffy-looking thing?

It was like a cloud sweeping the floors.

Cloud?

No, to be accurate it was closer to a mound of fur.

Is this what itd be if someone sheared a lot of sheep and bunched all the wool together?

Crawl Crawl

But this wasnt just a thing of wool, it was alive.

An artificial lifeform.

About the size of a large golden retriever.

The way it moved around was like seeing a pet that was let loose.

This guy is Molu?

I asked.

To which Elle Cladeco nodded as she was checking some charts.

Yes, it is. It is the second homunculus to be created. An existence formed from nothing. The extraordinary domain of the taboo and forbidden.

Elle Cladecos eyes shined strangely behind her glasses as she said this. From my observation, it was half awe and wonder, half anxiety and disappointment.

I heard it was rejecting evil karma. Thats the issue, right?

I asked.

To this, the Priestess who had been petting Molu answered.

Its such a warm and soft child, and it listens to us. Even I have never seen such a pure-hearted creature. It must look like a foam created by angels.

Fluff Fluff

The fur mound circled around Iris. It acted like a people-loving dog that hadnt met someone in a long time.

See? Its very gentle and cute.

It certainly doesnt seem malicious. Isnt it a problem, then? We were wanting an artificial Demon King, not a friendly animal.

My idea of the artificial Demon King was an evil being.

The kind of monster or cyborg that was created by a mad scientist.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Frankenstein.

Cyborgs like Ulterron made by Tony Starker.

But this is.

Kong Kong!

It barks like a dog, too.

It really was cute.

Something that Naru, Cecily, and Hina would love if they saw it.

Herein lay the problem.

How do we turn this guy into a villain?

And more importantly, its refusal to become one was a big concern.

Hey, what are you?

I reached out to Molu.

When I did, Molu jumped back away from me.

It happened so quickly that I momentarily lost sight of it.

Seems like it has great physical abilities. Whats its level?

It must be at least over 30.

35?

No, maybe even 40?

Something that was just born yesterday was already level 40?

I was looking closely at the fur ball to try and gauge its exact level when Elle sighed deeply.

Well have to keep researching and testing ways to level it and inject karma. The hunters situation with her sister may have the answer.

Since Cariotes sister became a demon, youre thinking we can do the same to this ball of fluff?

Yes. Of course, its only a theory for now. Hypothetical.

Hypothesis and theory.

As if the power switched off, Astarosa completely ceased.

The abrupt halt after an intense bout of movement left a chilling atmosphere.

Ugh, my head.

Soon, Astarosa made a strange noise and opened her eyes.

Blink Blink

Astarosa blinked her eyes.

This is. What was I? I need to go draw water. Where am I? Cariote? Cariote, is that you?

Astarosa looked at Cariote.

Then Cariote responded, What did you say? It cant be, Dina, is that you?, surprised by the change in attitude that had been vicious and aggressive the whole day.

Cariote! You were alive! Ah, whats this? Why am I tied to a bed? Cariote, whats going on? Why am I bound?

Cariotes sister, Dina, looked at the bed she was tied to in confusion.

Cariote, hurry up and untie me!

No, you demon. You still havent turned back. You would have fooled anyone else, but not me.

C-Cariote. What are you talking about? Im scared. Whats that bottle?

Drink, Dina. If you want to prove your innocence.

N No! Take it away! I said take it back Fuck! Dont give me that awful thing, you cursed hunter scum! Umph, uooogh

Gulp Gulp

Cariote finally shoved the bottle into her sisters mouth. It was pretty aggressive, the way she was being forced to drink.

Alright. Youve finished it today, too.

Cariote removed the bottle only after every last drop was swallowed. Of course, since she was seen through her act, Astarosa spit curses at Cariote.

You wont die easy! Pfhooo!

She spit the last bit of water she was holding in her mouth, which sprayed into the air.

Some got on my face, too, and I was about to wipe it when

Wachooo!

I couldnt resist the tingling in my nose and let out a sneeze.

Wachooo! Achoo! Wow, what the hell.

I kept sneezing.

Not only that, my eyes were itching and my nose started to run.

What? Whats this? What is it? Achoo!

I didnt get it.

Cariote, who had been watching, looked between me, Astarosa, and the glass bottle. Then she spoke in realization.

Judas, you must be allergic to ditch water.

.

Allergic to ditch water?

Whats that?

Ive never heard of such a thing.

It means your body cant take completely pure water. Ive heard about it but its my first time seeing the symptoms.

.

When I think of it, I sneezed when Sifnoi was splashing around in the pool. To think that it had been an allergic reaction.

Who knew I had this kind of weakness?

I didnt.

.

An unexpectedly critical weakness.

It was troubling in a lot of ways but at the same time, it felt odd. Having a weakness meant it could become a strength.

Swoosh

Just then, Cariote took a bottle from the belt on her waist.

This is spare ditch water. Judas, do you want to test it?

A test.

I was about to nod when Astarosa threw a fit.

That, get that water away!

Astarosa seemed to really hate the water used by Sifnoi. To be fair, drinking water that someone had washed their hands in was a bit, well.

Soon, Astarosa opened her mouth.

Fine! Lets make a deal! Youre troubled because you cant inject evil karma into that Molu thing, right? I can help! But you have to stop feeding me the ditch water!
