An enclosed space. A strange world filled with jet-black darkness, yet we could recognize each other's figures. Many people were crowded in there.

There seemed to be a sense of up, down, left and right in the space, and everyone was standing in the same direction. Everyone was standing in the same direction, but in different positions. They were standing not only horizontally but also vertically in different positions. But it is not weightlessness.

The people who live here call this place the "Cage of the Old King.

A naked man with long blond hair and a large quadruped with multiple horns entered from the doorway.

"Looks like a lot of them. Caesar-dono.

The naked, long-haired blond man called Caesar was silent as he and the quadruped sank to the bottom of the space. There is something huge underneath the space.

It was a space inhabited by the deformed, but that which writhed beneath the space was singularly deformed. It was an elliptical, pulsating mass of flesh with several tubes wrapped irregularly around it. The tubes were also pulsing loudly, and I could clearly see that something was being carried in the tubes.

Underneath the oval lump of flesh, another smaller lump of flesh rose up like a bump, and all the tubes were growing out of it. Above the lump of flesh was another smaller lump of flesh, this one shaped like a vase. The upper part of the vase-shaped lump of flesh also had a gaping mouth like a vase.

Caesar and the quadruped came to a stop as they descended close to the lump of meat. The quadruped opens its mouth wide, and all sorts of creatures are spat out from inside.

Some of the creatures that were spat out were dead from suffocation, but many were still breathing. The spit out creatures were then sucked into a fleshy jar.

Each time a creature is sucked in, the jar peristalsizes violently.

I'm sure the pubescent body is happy to see you. The pubic body is happy.

Agoninro laughs at the scene. The inhabitants of the space call the lower part of the space the Yin body.

Carrying food to the Yin body is one of the roles assigned to those who live in this space. If we feed the yin body as much as possible, it can accumulate nutrients. And they will be able to live on until the next time the sky breaks again.

Seikichi Kurohato flapped his wings and sank close to Yintai. He pecked at Yintai's body with his beak.

Liquid overflows from the spot where Seikichi picks at it with his beak. They call this milk. By drinking this nutritious milk that overflows from the Yin body, they gain immortality and continue to live for a long time.

Why do they live? Why are they here? What are they doing?

They were caught up in only one impulse. They were like-minded. They worshipped and swore allegiance to the same person. Those they served were also of the same mind.

Their hearts were simple, and they wanted only to kill and destroy.

************************************************************************************************

Yuuki, Suzune, and Masama decided to go a little farther than the camp. Shiyou stayed behind at the camp, working feverishly on his research.

Yuuki and the others had their own goals. They were told by Rijheidar that he would introduce them to his friend, Alraune, who was in the area.

It was the morning after a night of sleep.

I'm going to meet the Alraune of this planet.

Suzune and Masama were stunned by Yuuki's statement.

"You know where she is?

Suzune asks.

"The Alraune inside me knows. I'm not sure what to do. It's my punishment for not knowing and making you give unnecessary explanations.

"It hurts, it hurts, Courage.

You're too old to be wrestling with a girl. Gyuu.

Fumiyo is disgusted and cautions Yuuki to put the Scorpion Deathlock on Suzune. Of course, Yuuki didn't listen to him.

"If you find something rare, I don't care what happens to you, just make sure you collect it!

"If you find anything unusual, I don't care what happens to you.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It's just a rock.

"Is that, hey, is that, by any chance, some kind of advanced bargaining?

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.

I'm not sure.

Junko, Makoto, Rui, Midori and Setsuna stayed at the campground while the others went on a trip.

I feel so dull in the morning~

Setsuna complained of her discomfort.

It's not only the composition of the atmosphere, but also the gravity that's slightly different. Maybe that's part of it. But I'm sure we'll adjust quickly.

Junko said. The difference in atmospheric composition has been adjusted with a chemical that will give you the same constitution as Alraune. Otherwise, the glass dew would cause carbon dioxide poisoning.

If we adapt to the gravity here, we'll have to adapt again when we return there, won't we?

Lui said.

"That can't be helped. What's more, the lighter I get when I come here, the heavier I get when I return there. But I think it won't take long for us to adapt to gravity. I think it will take less time than the adaptation to oxygen concentration.

If a person who lives on the plains moves to the highlands, where oxygen is scarce, he will consume more energy. On the other hand, when people living in the highlands come down to the plains, they will be full of energy. Either way, over time, the body adapts to the air. Is this the same logic?

That's how it is.

Junko nodded at Makoto's words.

I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea. It's not like we brought her here and she's still a potted ornament. We've been taking her around to see the sights, but can't we let her walk around at her own will?

Midori suggested.

"Thank you, Midori. Thanks, Midori, but since Setsuna has accepted this fate of her own volition, I won't ask for much.

I'm not going to ask for much.

I'm not sure how you got that body in the first place. ......

You don't have to move. It's great.

It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money.

I've been thinking the same thing and made this last night.

Junko went into the tent.

A dozen seconds later, Junko came back with a small cart-like object in her right hand and a headgear in her left. I knew at a glance what it meant.

She got up Setsuna's potted plant on the dolly and put the headgear on her head.

I can now move the car underneath at my will, Setsuna-chan.

"Wow, thank you Junko-neechan!

Setsuna thanked me with a delighted expression and quickly moved the dolly.

"Wow, it moves! I can move it. It's been a long time since I've been able to move on my own. It's amazing.

The dolly was moving at a very high speed and Setsuna was shouting with joy and excited.

"Isn't that too fast?

I think I'm going to fall. It's also slightly downhill, so it's even more vigorous.

I'm actually losing control.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

I'm not sure what to do.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

I'm not sure what to do.

I'm not sure what to do with it. Junko picks up the cart and Setsuna, who has fallen into the river, moaning strangely.

I'm the one who contacted you before.

As she was returning to the camp with Setsuna and the dolly, a familiar voice sounded in her head.

* *

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

It's all white. I have the impression that this planet has only cold colors and very few warm colors. Maybe it's just a coincidence that we're in such a place.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence that this is such a place," said No. 11, looking around at the white rocks.

Maybe it has something to do with the season, but I've been here before and the leaves were this color!

Mika exclaimed.

Mika exclaimed, "What is this, a pure white slug? A leech? It's got a white flower growing out of its back. I can't believe it. It's creepy and beautiful all at the same time.

Masami frowned at the strange creature on the rock.

Masami frowned at the strange creature on the rocky shore, "This creature is a little strange in form, but it's cute.

No. 13 stroked a quadruped with an unusually thin body and a spherical head that he had found on a rocky beach. It is about the size of a rabbit, has smooth skin and appears to have no hair on its body. It looks eerie, but it seems to be a friendly creature, and it slides its spherical head into No. 13's hand.

Hmm? What is that? Is it a bird? But it's too big for that.

The second wondered at the sight of countless something flying in the sky. I'm not sure what to make of it.

Eventually, it approached until it was clearly visible to the naked eye.

"Cicadas?

"It's a huge swarm of cicadas!

No.2 and No.7 shouted, causing everyone else to look to the sky.

Just as they had said, a large number of creatures resembling cicadas were dancing in the sky. And they were as big as human beings.

Masami and Mika pulled out their guns. Although they were quite a distance away, they both noticed at the same time that the swarm of giant cicada-like creatures was emitting a deadly energy.
