《Yet another ”reincarnated as a monster” story, however, this time, it’s a carnivorous plant》Chapter 42: Tying up loose ends
Advertisement
John was in a state of shock. Tilda, pointing at him with a staring finger, fixated her eyes upon his small form.
“Um, that is-...”
Hans tried to explain, her mind groping after an explanation, making “uh, umm” noises as if chanting a prayer. I quickly decided that the best course of action would be to help, considering my role in the whole situation.
I ran up beside John and took the hand of the little teen perched atop the marble.
“He friend!”
“Riiiight, I don't remember any marble boys being on your friend list, Anette...”
“Well, little Bob here stumbled across him and they became great... friends...”
“So... what is Bob? And this John? They look like ordinary monsters... are you sure they aren’t a danger to society?...”
“Tilda, I know what's beneath your pillow. You fear them less than you fear me.”
“Well, suppose that's true, and HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT???!?”
“Its hardly a secret, and I can make sure its less of a secret and more of a common sense if you don’t back off.”
“Grr... just... just one pet?”
“... alright, just one. But only one!”
“Bob, what are they talking abo-, huEY”
Suddenly, Johns body was flung into the air as if pulled by invisible strings. His body hung in the air for a second before being violently pulled through the air in front of Tilda's excited face, where he was suspended, motionless.
“Dawwww, what a cutieeeee!”
Tilda's hands were thrown into the air and collided with Johns little body, caresses and “pets” being forced unto his unwilling little body. John had barely the time to understand the situation before his little marble body was plucked out of the air by Hans.
“That's quite enough, Tilda.”

“But, but, but...!”
“No butts!”
Tilda seemed rather shaken up by her sudden loss of tiny-goo-marble-boy, but said tiny-goo-marble-boy seemed so relieved he was actively hugging one of the fingers Hans had lent him.
“Well, Tilda, it been a pleasure, but, uh, I think me and my... pals... are going to have to go and, you know, collect our payment, so, yeah, we're just gonna-,”
“So how did it go?”
“Pardon?”
“the battle? You called for first-grade ASSistance, and here I am, but there are no slimes to be seen. Did you pull my leg just to drag me over here??”
“Look, um, that's a story for another day, but me and my partner really have to go. And my partner's friend.”
“Hmmm... well, alright then, but do take this slip of paper proving you really did wipe out a few hundred slimes. The floor is littered with their shards, after all.”
Oh shoot I forgot to collect those
“Oh, right. Well, thanks for the gesture, ill treat you to a meal later, if that'll satisfy you.”
“Gladly!”
“Uhm, Hans?”
“Hm? What is it, Bob?”
“Collect shards?”
“Wadduya mean, “collect shards”?”
“Absorb shards. Grow stronger!”
“Ah, I see. Um, Tilda? If you'll forgive her, Bob would like to absorb those shards.”
“Absorb?”
“Yeah, um, she gets strength from that stuff. I guess.”
“Oh! Well, ill help you out then!”
And with a wave of her hand, the slimy goo and shards littering the floor formed itself into a ball and floated into the air before me. In a daze, my limbs stretchered out and encompassed the ball of leftovers, absorbing them nonchalantly. Im pretty sure John was staring at me as if I were a demon or something, but its fine.

The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.
