EROS [Zerg]

"Why is Kamo calling me that?"

After Permi left, Eros lifted the little boy high in the air, as if he wouldn't put him down until Kamo explained things clearly.

Kam struggled and tried to land several times in mid-air, kicking his legs, but failed. He could only tearfully explain his motives:

"We need to scare him away!"

The little boy bared his teeth and brandished his "terror" at Eros, emphasizing the words "scare him away" to express his "intense resentment" towards Perme.

Eros placed the little boy on his lap, rubbed Kam's bulging little belly, and pretended to be scared: "Wow, whose little boy is this? He's so scary!"

Seeing Eros feign fear, Kamehameha believed him and quickly patted the female insect's back: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Kamehameha won't be fierce to Eros."

Eros looked at the little boy on his lap with a smile: "Don't you like the little boy, Kamo?"

Kamu nodded in agreement, stretched out his two little paws, and grasped Eros's claws: "Yes, Kamu hates him, Eros doesn't want to play with him."

"Could you tell Eros what Camus dislikes about him?" the female insect asked patiently.

“He’s trying to take you away,” Kamehameha said, gripping Eros’s paw.

"He wants to take you away."

“I won’t let him take me away.” Eros blinked. “So, do you still hate him?”

"Ugh!" Kam said without hesitation.

Why is that?

"Because..." Kamehameha buried his face in Eros's chest and muttered softly, "Kamehameha isn't as strong as him. If he wanted to take Eros away, he definitely would."

“Kam is a C-grade male insect, while Pomi is only a D-grade male insect.” Eros held Kam’s little paw in his palm: “If Kam wanted to, he would definitely be even more powerful than Pomi.”

"But Kamehameha doesn't know how to build big machines..." Kamehameha looked up, pouted sadly, and then buried her face back down: "Waaah..."

The female insect gently stroked the little male's head, "So what do you want to be when you grow up?"

Camus looked at Eros with a puzzled expression: "Do male insects also have to work?"

"If we only consider survival, male insects can live their entire lives without working. If that's the case, then Kam will have to marry a lot of female insects to achieve his goal."

"Why?" The little boy hugged Eros's waist. "I only love Eros, and I only want to marry Eros and make her my queen."

Eros patiently explained, "Because Kam can't work and can't support himself, he can only marry female insects and obtain their assets."

"Kam is so easy to raise..." The little male gently nuzzled Eros's chin and said coquettishly, "There won't be a little male who is easier to raise than Kam."

“I know.” Eros nodded. “How about Eros gives Cam a gift?”

"A gift?" Cameron's eyes widened, his forgetful brain immediately forgetting his earlier sadness.

"Where is the gift?" The two little paws clung to the female insect's body, feeling her up and down, but couldn't find any gift on Eros.

"Kammo should choose his own gift." Eros carried Kammo out of the arena and headed straight for the Star Pet Market.

Kamu perched on Eros's shoulder, propping her face up with her little paws: "Eros, do you want to buy me a little pet?"

“Yes, I can’t play with Kame often, so I’ll buy you an easy-to-care-for pet to keep you company.” Eros’s eyes crinkled into a smile. “Kame will take good care of it, right?”

"Yes!" The little boy raised his two little paws high. "I'm going to raise this little pet that Eros gave me to be plump and healthy!"

Eros pinched Kam's little nose with his paw, then put the little boy on the ground: "Kam is the best, go pick one."

"Yay!" As soon as his two insect legs touched the ground, Kamo happily took off with his short legs and hopped to the entrance of each pet store, peering inside.

Eros strolled leisurely behind Little Camus.

"This mini Gulu beast needs to be bathed regularly, it's such a hassle."

"Crystal Winged Birds are difficult to raise; the owner said they can only be kept for two weeks."

……

……

After visiting several stores, Kame finally chose a bubble turtle that was easy to keep and take care of.

"Just feed it every day and change the water regularly every week, and it can live for a long time." Eros looked at the small water tank that Kamehame was holding, where a bubble turtle was blowing pink bubbles: "Kama, you have to take good care of it."

"Mmm!" The little male nodded happily, completely unaware of the hidden meaning behind the female insect's upturned lips.

Kama, who had just received a little pet, was filled with immense joy. But soon, Kama became somewhat distracted, because the Bubble Turtle only blew bubbles, didn't play with him, and wouldn't talk to him.

At first, I would remember to feed it every day, but later I would often forget to let the bubble turtle go hungry.

Finally, the task of feeding the bubble turtles fell entirely on Serlo's shoulders.

Sai Lejian saw that he had lost his initial fondness for the bubble turtle and did not take good care of it. Not long after, the bubble turtle turned belly up.

Kam was sitting in the living room watching cartoons with a bag of snacks when he suddenly saw Sai Le carrying a transparent water tank, preparing to empty its contents.

"Sailor, what are you carrying?" Kam looked inside curiously, and his little face immediately turned pale with fright.

"Serole! How did Bubble Turtle die?!"

Sailor is used to this kind of thing: "It's normal for these little pets to die while being raised."

Kam's voice trembled slightly, "But...but aren't these bubble turtles easy to keep?"

After packing up the small corpse in the tank, Seler threw it into the trash can. "If you want to keep another bubble turtle, I can order another one for you from the pet store."

Kame swallowed hard, staring at the empty water tank in front of him. "I took care of it, so why did it still die?"

Sailer couldn't understand Kam's feelings. In the male insect academy's garbage dump, all sorts of pet corpses were dumped there every day. It wasn't illegal for them to die.

"Who told it to be a pet? It's locked in this little water tank, it has to eat whatever it's given, and if it's not given anything, it goes hungry. If it could come out and find food on its own, it wouldn't be in this state now."

"These pets are destined to die once they are bought; it's just that some live a long time and some live a short time."

"What about me? I can't find food myself, I can't work myself." Kame bit her lip, looking at Sai Le with wide, watery eyes in fear.

Will I die from being raised like this?
