《Hunger for affection》Act II - Palace | Arrival
Advertisement
"It will be that here, I can eat well?"
The young Rin thought in silence and concern, who, despite arriving at her fourth home, no longer cared about her treatment, or her masters, much less the place where he worked, else if she could satisfy the hunger that had plagued her for years at her old job.
This is since she already knew that in the end, it would go badly for her, so when being guided through the luxurious palace by a woman, who could be her boss, she did not express any emotion about this and simply followed her in silence and grace, as a result of the hateful label that was forcibly embedded in it.
The woman, for her part, was analyzing the future employee, while she explained a little the rules of the place while guiding her to her residence, and it's in this analysis where she concluded with disappointment that it would have been good material if it weren't for their race.
But these thoughts mattered little to Rin, who only thought about eating and sleeping, and with those wishes in mind, time passed quickly for her, arriving together with the woman at a residence, secluded in a corner of this small town called palace, in which as a matter of course for her she was presented to the few present in the room where she was going to be living.
"You know how this is, she is Rin, she is part of the new servant that the palace is buying, and she will be her companion in residence, and for now she will be working in the laundry," the woman explained to the young servant.
But to all of this, Rin wasn't paying attention, until they mentioned the laundry, which made her laugh in her mind.

[Laundry, it would be funny if I were to sweep again]
Apart from the laundry, everything started relatively the same as their old houses, an elegant place, a uniform, people who hate to see her, and untouchable masters.
[How long will I be here? Will it's a year or two?]
[Or how am I going to leave? Maybe they'll kick me out for being ugly as always"] Rin laugh thinking that.
She gracefully gambled and thought Rin in her mind, about her so familiar situation as she changed, silently ignoring the insults of her classmates before leaving for her new job.
Following directions, from some servant on her way, Rin was able to get to the laundry, where she found what she expected, lots of clothes, and several servants.
As always, she was received with hatred and disgust by the others except for a servant, who would be her companion because she shared part of her stigma, being part of another race, in her case, being from the tribe of wolves.
"Hello, my name Yue Jin, I'm glad to see a bestial companion, even if it's from another tribe." Yue greeted Rin with kindness.
This kindness and this person surprised Rin and filled her with joy to finally find someone like her.
"Rin Shin, nice to meet you," She replied simply, a product of the customs instilled in her old job.

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.
