CHAPTER 6 – THE KING OF PESTS
Night
What she felt at first was soed into a reality
What she started to get surprised to was the tee
For her as originally froion, the terees celsius a little is as usual
Butーーthis dry atmosphere that was like a desert was unacceptable
She should be continuing to live her life in the same place as usual, but when she noticed, she was in a different worldーーshe was not aware that, that was a dimensional teleportation……in other words, it’s the so-called different world trip
You could say for good or for bad, she was able to find a comfortable place to sleep immediately
Inside the hole of a boulder, the place she would sleep, there was an existing water puddle, so she was also able to find a water source
But, in the water puddle, was a tre feces
The water rotted, and it was releasing a bad s
“There’s no end on asking forto find food
She went outside crawling out of her sleeping space
And, she focused on the countless nus, the ones that she had felt since earlier
ーーthat was, a countless nuround
GasaGasa, it ht moss, its oily carapace shi+nes a black luster
While walking within through those cockroaches, the feeling of happiness that it had felt ever since it stood here changed to reality
Co in, there are more cockroaches here
That onlycreatures that can become feeds of the larvas
Emerald cockroach Bee
An insect froion, and it is faroup
Going right straight to the point, sheーーthat bee lays its eggs in cockroaches
The bee’s size isn’t that different fro a cockroach inside its hive
There was a need for the their venom, and let them walk to the burrow by themselves
That’s why, it can be said that their contest relies on that one instant during their first contact
Explaining with details……during spawning, the eeted cockroach, and inject venolia of the chest
It would die if the veno growth peroid of the larvas if it was too few, so it is a sensitive work
If they were able to inject venom properly, they bite off the antenna of the cockroach, and as if a necromancer, they put under their control the cockroach just like a zombie
And after they induct it into their burrow, they lay their eggs in the cockroach
The burrow’s entrance would be cos, and it would change into a closed space
And just like that, after a few days pass, the egg hatch and become a larva
The larva gradually but slowly eats the insides of the cockroach, and eat its muscles
Within about eight days, the cockroach’s insides would be already devoured, butーーcontinuing to live because of the injected poison……it can do nothing else
Living eight days while its insides being eaten The cockroach’s life force is surprising, but it can also be said that it is the result of the larva adjusting how it ate it so that it wouldn’t die
For the most part, within those days, the cockroach is an existence that the bee would be troubled if it to dies
After all, things rot very fast in the tropical region The freshness of the rowth period, it should last at the limit
And just like that, the cockroach gradually lose its life force while being kept alive by the bee
In the end, after around eight days have passed, the bee will become a pupa
The emerald cockroach bee that transformed from the pupa, will eat its way out of the cockroachーーas if, it was given birth by the cockroach, it would fly to the outside world
And
ーーshe was suddenly thrown into a far away place fro in suddenly
But, bees doesn’t think as deeply as humans do
Things other than being able to eat and reproduce, honestly, it would not matter at all
With that reason, she felt worries about the lower temperature, but she was very content in her current environment
ーーafter all, there is no insufficiency for things to eat
As if to pull its body, she searches for one that has fat in it, a cockroach that has a huge size as possible
This is an aside, insects are living beings that belong to a position near shrioes
For that, not limited to cockroaches, it is said that most of the insects, if you don’t mind how they look, they are delicious
It only means that she who had a cockroach as a host when she was still a larva, she could only see cockroaches as delicious food
And after this and that, she found a very fat and round cockroach
She attacks the cockroach as her ancestors had done, and tried to inject venom to the cockroach as her ancestors had done
But at that tiet, a cockroach appeared
That was very far and very round No, it was too large
In that instant, her distinctive wildlife six sense sounded its largest alarm
And finally, she finally noticed the true peculiarity of this place
ーーthis is a dangerous region……she thought And that……to notice that……it was too late
What appeared in front of her, had a height of 30 ciant……cockroach
The hunter’s side and the prey’s side had already changed their positions
ーーsize difference
Be it predators, be it herbivores, that difference could not be defied……just having a large body is an absolute advantage in the natural world
The eiant cockroach, andーーthe nu around, all of theantic cockroaches
That’s right, this is in this world and in that world, and the fifth floor of the Interstice of the dimension and dimension’s Labyrinth
ーーit is the floor where the King of Pests lives in
†
Hyaha……a……
Are you energetic……today too……
Well〜, this floor really is depressing……after all, the whole floor is the nest of cockroaches right……
Though, the only salvation is that this ti or small enter it
And, the advice on this floor
The thing called cockroach is a living creature that usually wouldn’t come near humans
For example, it can be said that it’s a special one in the natural world if it enters a human’s house
And, even in this floor their traits are also like that regardless of their size
Well, you’ll know it after walking, that you wouldn’t be saying that……but for the meantime, the number of small cockroaches is too many so you can think of it that there are plenty of special ones
That’s right, about the next floor
Go towards the north-east’s direction You should be able to reach it after walking for thirty minutes
And……I don’t know if you’ve already seen it, but it looks like this floor has a boss
Its size is too daood news
Probably about tenone wouldn’t come from its side
But, in his territory……when you get close in a certain distance, it looks like it would be going to change its switch immediately
A height of 30 cth of 3 erous creature as a monster
If it was attacked frouarantee your life bro

Safety area
Junpei’s leather boots were drenched with the body fluids from the cockroaches he stomped on
And there was no life on Junpei’s expression, while naked, he was just single- his body with the cloth with hot water
He couldn’t be blamed
Just aall over his body
Just thinking if it was not a boxer brief, but trunks that were full of gaps……Junpei’s had goosebumps
That wasーーa grueso it made his hair stand on its ends
「Oi oi, no way……give me a break……」
That was his first words when he reached this floor
At one look, that was a forest area
But, the surface was covered by a black dazzle
And when it came to the dirt road, it can even be seen as a carpet And very strangelyーーthat black color was
KasaKasaKasaKasa
Thousands, maybe tens of thousands, or maybe hundreds of thousands
If you look to the right, cockroach If you look to the left, cockroach If you look up, cockroach If you look back, cockroach
KasaKasaKasaKasa
The unpleasant sound even if it was only oneーーit was being played with a grandiose orchestra, so he couldn’t be blamed if Junpei lost his words
Anyways, it’s also true that he needs to advance forward
PuchuPuchi
Every each step forward there was a sound
It was the sound of the body liquid that squirts from the cockroach he stepped on
「……」
After advancing for a while, he found a water puddle with a nasty smell
It looks like the remains of the cockroach and its feces ood fermentation
And, it was the night to that cocktail
While holding his vomit, Junpei still advanced forward
And there, Junpei noticed
Within the black surface, white was sometimes mixed in it When he looked carefully, it was one cockroach after all
ーーif I think about it, the cockroach is white after shedding huh……
In the video that he saw on the internet, there was one when a sent for cockroach extermination was thrown in the man hole of the restaurant district
There was a video that after a few seconds after the pesticide was thrown in the roundーーI think that at that time, there was a white one
At that time, he had researched about it, and he found out that the white cockroach’s exoskeleton is soft so it wouldn’t leave its nest soon after it sheds it
That’s right
As long as it’s not an eo out from their nests
ーーit means……this place after all……the whole floor itself is the cockroach’s nest huh……
And……when Junpei had thought of that, “Hya”, he let out a pathetic high-pitched voice
As if he was tickled, or so fro reached his thighs
