Chapter 248: Impregnating Others?
“I-I should probably get down now.”
“Yeah.” The Paru nodded with a chuckle.
The two had arrived at the edge of the forest, and were about to enter the flat terrain at the center of which was the Worka’s spaceship.
Cero slowly lowered himself, allowing Raya to dismount and get off his back.
“Your back is pretty comfortable.” Raya muttered, blushing slightly as her feet touched the ground.
“So I’ve been told.”
“By...?”
“Parus, you know? Where I’m from, I used to give them rides and all.”
“Shut the fuck up.” Raya chuckled as she started walking towards the long extinguished bonfire and the logs of wood surrounding it. “So you’re into that as well, huh? Tentacle sex, whatever I’m into... And being ridden by other Parus?”
“It is a great honor to ride me.”
“Pfft! Then I am truly honored. Wait... You get what I meant about being ridden by-”
“Yeah, I did.” The Paru nodded, interrupting her with a calm voice. “Don’t start imagining it, please.”
“I-I wasnt!” Raya looked away and started walking closer towards those logs of wood. “But I don’t know anything about how Parus reproduce. Do they even have male and female counterparts? That’s something we should study, don’t you think?”
“Why is that?”
“Well, just to... You know? Know how they produce.”
“Who cares about that? You’re getting weird again.” Cero chuckled.
“Nothing weird about it!” Raya said as she pointed towards him. “We talked about... Um... You uh... Getting me... You know...”
“Pregnant.”
“Y-Yeah... It was a joke but... We should still know if it’s like... Possible, you know?”
“Yeah?”
“Of course! If it’s not, then you can... You know... Fill me up without worrying about... Well, the same would be true for Lith, right?”
“Alright.” Cero shrugged as he took a seat on one of the logs.
“There are many possibilities when it comes to this.” Raya explained as she took a seat on a log opposite to the one he was seated on.
Cero had expected her to sit next to him, if not on him.
‘I guess this is supposed to be a more serious conversation...’ He rolled his eyes.
“It isn’t impossible for you to be able to... Impregnate a lot of different Species. Your genes and cells can change. So it is possible for a mutation to happen when... Your seed is... About to fertilize um... The egg, you know?”
“Please don’t talk to me about eggs...”
“It very well might mutate...” Raya continued, ignoring his mutter. “To allow the fertilization of different kinds of eggs from different Species... Though that is unlikely.” She rubbed her chin for a moment. “It is highly unlikely as your genes and cells don’t change by themselves. An intake of different genes, cells, or minerals is necessary. In other words, it’s much more likely that you can impregnate members of a Species... A Species of which... You have... You know? Some genes in common... Through...”
“Eating other members of that Species.”
“Right.” Raya nodded as she slowly lowered her gaze to the ground. “What’s even more likely is gaining the ability to impregnate them through changing your body to resemble them more... Not necessarily because you look more like them, but because it means that a higher percentage of your cells and genes are similar to theirs. So basically...”
“So basically, you’re saying that... I can impregnate what I eat.”
Raya’s hand immediately moved towards her face, rubbing her eyes and forehead.
She did so for a couple of seconds, as holding in her laughter wasn’t an easy task presently.
“Basically.” Raya slowly nodded. “Well, that’s what I think.” She shrugged.
“I can impregnate what I eat...” Cero whispered, rubbing his hands together with his gaze locked on the extinguished bonfire.
“Yes.” Raya understood the implications too. “So... If you impregnate me, then it’s pretty much admitting that you have eaten Worka like me. While I am convinced that you have, the news might... Disturb some of the others. I guess this is more... Something to keep in mind in general.”
“But it’s not for sure, is it?”
“It’s the most likely scenario, I think. One member of a Species impregnating a member of a different Species is rare enough. A Species having the ability to impregnate members of different Species is even more rare... Incredibly rare, really. But then... Everything about you is rare.”
“Don’t make me blush.”
“I’m... Talking about Parus in general.”
“...”
Raya smiled, chuckling internally.
She pushed herself off the log she was seated on, and put her bra and dress on.
