128 128 – The Mother’s Struggle
Elise and Alette returned to the bees’ location that afternoon. However, they no longer find those insects.
“I’ll just wait here.” Yua sighed, stopping very far from that place.
“Okay…” Elise glanced at the kunoichi and continued her journey with Alette.
The fairy didn’t want to talk to Yua because the explosion from the kunoichi’s bomb could damage the ecosystem. Fortunately, it was far from the forest.
“Holy shit…. This shit is fucking hilarious. It was so anticlimactic….” Raymund finally managed to contain his laughter. “You really don’t want to see that, Yua? Even I was curious about the bee.”
Yua just shook her head.
“Ah, you should be punished later.” The god let out an evil chuckle. “That’s because you were reckless.”
“I just want to get out of this place full of bees.” The kunoichi pressed her finger to her lips, displaying an expression of fear that seemed fake. “But…. I will accept the consequences, sir… Please, don’t be too rough.” The woman used her flagship seductive sigh.
“Let’s wait and see.”.
Meanwhile, Alette and Elise went to the mother bee, still clinging to one side of the cliff.
“You can do it already…” The fairy whispered to the insect.
Elise looked at the setting sun. “Isn’t it too late?”
“She has been in a lot of torment holding the egg in her body. More than this, she can’t hold on anymore.” Alette wiped her tears. “When it gets dark, I’ll help illuminate her.”
The bee flew, looking for a suitable location for a moment, then began to dig into the soft surface of the cliff. Elise sat on the sand, and Mona lay beside her while the fairy continued to fly near the bug.
“Come on, you can do it.” The fairy gave encouragement. The bee’s movements were a bit shaky, perhaps because of the pain.
Alette didn’t interfere at all as the bee dug a hole, took water from the sea, and used the water to form a wall in that hole. Alette could have asked the bee to use another bee’s hole to save time, but the fairy chose not to. She let things happen naturally.
Since the bee already looked very weak, the process took quite a while. It was already dark when the bee finally laid its eggs, provided a reserve of honey, and covered it with another sand-water mixture.
Raymund did not use the fast-forward feature to observe all that. It turns out that details like this are also interesting to follow. The god realized how insane it was to develop this game.
“After this, what will happen?” Elise rose to her feet as the bee flew out of its hole.
Alette closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “This is the end of her time. It may sound cruel, but that’s the will of nature.”
“What?” Elise widened her eyes. “She will die?”
The mother bee fell near the sea, limping on the water-drenched sand. She tried to fly again but couldn’t take it anymore.
“Elise,” Raymund whispered. “Bring her to our place.”
***
Several minutes had passed, and Elise was still kneeling on the floor. The bee was still lying in her hands, not moving at all.
“It might take her some time to absorb the divine energy from this place.” I knelt beside the woman, commenting on the bug.
“By the way, sir…” Elise hissed. “I still don’t get it. You punished Yua by making her wear a bikini again, right?”
I nodded. “You’re right, Elise.”
“Why do I have to wear a bikini too?” Elise looked at me with a slightly flushed face, then looked down to check the crimson bikini that had wrapped her body again. “It feels really weird, wearing a bikini, but not at the pool or the beach.”
“Think of it as a form of solidarity.” I chuckled, then turned my head to the kunoichi, who was on the other end. She was already wearing her pink bikini. “And you girls just bought those swimsuits, right? Don’t you want to wear it longer?”
This is payback because I can’t join the fun at the beach. I will satisfy my eyes with those two ladies in attractive swimsuits.
“Hey, come here, Yua,” I called the kunoichi. “Let’s have a look at this beautiful bug.”
“Hell no! I’m not going there, sir!” Yua exclaimed while crossing her arms across her chest.
Elise looked at the bee in her hand again. “Ah, she’s moving.”
Mona, in her human form and chained to a pillar, barked cheerfully. However, the barking doesn’t sound like an animal but comes from a cute voice actor.
If this experiment is successful, I wonder what this bee will look like. Will she be like Mona?
The bee began to twitch, getting up on its feet. She stumbled on Elise’s hands, then flapped her wings. At first, she also struggled to make her body float.
And finally, the hum of its fast-moving wings filled the air. She managed to fly over Elise’s head.
“I’m grateful that she is still alive.” Elise smiled widely. “Thanks for coming up with this idea, sir.”
“I’m just impressed by her struggle to ensure a life for her children. It would be a shame if such a smart and tough creature died.”
“Please, don’t let her come near me!” Yua shouted again.
The bee flew in circles around me, Elise, and Mona. The dog looked overjoyed and tried to catch the insect, but her master stopped it. “Don’t do that, Mona. She will die if you squeeze her.”
Then, the bee stopped in mid-air. Her big eyes stared at a point.
“No…” Yua shook her head. “W-why is she looking at me?”
All of a sudden, the bee hurtled towards Yua, who immediately screamed and ran away.
“Hey, don’t chase her!” Elise moves to catch the bee.
Yua kept running like she was about to lose her life, followed by the bee and Elise. The cleavages on both of my servants also moved to the rhythm of their feet, creating a pleasant sight.
This is happiness.
“Sir Raymund!” The kunoichi became more hysterical. “Please do something, don’t just stand there!”
