Symphony for the Insect Princess

“…fat woman.”

"Flat chested—what did you say?"

"You always say I'm flat-chested—but you're the one! Fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat!"

"Varied--!!!"

Sedroang looked devastated, but Qimila turned the tide and pursued the victory.

"I'm talking about you, you fat bitch!"

"You dare to say I'm fat? What the hell do you know? Did you see any extra fat on my body? - Endorion, shut up! If you say you don't have any, then there's no fat!!!"

"I saw you changing! You secretly used the scale in the locker room, right? I saw your weight!"

"What the heck is this!!!!!???"

"You are twenty-three years old, right? You are nearly 59.62 meters tall, right? I know that the ideal weight for a twenty-three-year-old woman with a height of nearly meters is kilograms! And you are over—"

"SHUT UP AAAA ...

"Shut up, shut up, shut up! You're two kilograms overweight! Even the author is much lighter than you! Fat, fat, fat, fat pig!!!"

"It's only two kilograms! And do you know what muscle density is? I've been exercising enough, so my muscle density is greater than you weaklings—"

"Fatty! Fatty! Fat pig!!! Saidrow is so fat, so fat, so fat~~~"

"you……"

"By the way, I'm a skinny 40kg or so~ Oh, I'm so worried. No matter which formula I use, I'm still way under the standard weight~"

"What the hell..."

"But no matter how much I eat, I just can't gain weight. There's nothing I can do about it. I'm the princess of endless chaos and darkness. I can eat as much snacks, desserts, ice cream as I want, and I won't gain weight."

"That's enough, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Do you fucking understand the feelings of people who are afraid of getting fat after eating meat? ahh ...

"I don't understand and I don't want to understand~~ I really envy you guys, you can grow fat just by drinking some water~~ You guys who are afraid of getting fat, I don't understand at all~~~"

"Kill you!!!!"

"Ah—Sister Charlotte, help me!!!"

Sedroon jumped up, swinging his giant sword, with true murderous intent flashing in his eyes!

Qimila quickly hid behind Charlotte and stuck out her tongue at Sezoang.

however--

"leave me alone."

"…………Eh?"

Qimila was dumbfounded.

And Charlotte waved her hand impatiently.

"Don't you dislike people who gain weight easily? Go, go, go."

"Eh? Eh? Uh, no, I, your concubine, am not trying to provoke Sister Charlotte..."

“…(Turning head, ignoring)”

"Uh, eh? Um, um, Sister Charlotte? I don't mean to look down on you... nor do I mean to brag..."

“…(waves his hand)”

"Where are you running to! Die!!!"

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

...Oh, they are so happy.

In my opinion, each of them has a perfect body, and there is nothing to worry about as long as their weight is around the standard weight. I don’t quite understand the thinking of young women today.

As for me? I'm 166cm tall and weigh 46kg, which is a bit underweight. My bust and hips make me look even lighter... Maybe it's because my waist is too thin and my stomach is too thin. For my health, I think I should eat more in the future...

at this time--

With a click, the door to the bathhouse opened and Aisia walked in. She looked very tired, which was rare.

"Asia is back?"

"That masked pervert didn't do anything disgusting to you, right?" Sedroon asked while pinching Qimila's ear.

"He didn't do anything strange, but..." Asia sighed. "He took a lot of blood and skin samples, and even used advanced gadgets from other worlds to perform X-rays. He asked a ton of questions. He looked so reluctant when I left. I think he really wanted to turn me into a specimen and seal me away forever."

"Nothing else? What's that thing on you?"

“You’re talking about this…”

Aisia looked at the small discs with wires attached to her body, as well as the small instruments fixed on her shoulders, waist, and thighs, and sighed again.

"He said it's a sensor or something that can record my physical condition at any time. They should be researching the toxicity of my blood right now."

"Isn't he afraid of the poison you carry?"

"I'm not afraid at all. He even asked me to release poisonous magic on him to test the toxicity. When I was leaving, he seemed to be planning to drink my blood to test the effect..."

"Uh..." Charlotte couldn't help but shudder. "This wise man is quite unusual even among alchemists, isn't he?"

"Most alchemists prioritize 'knowledge' first. If they die, they can't do any research. Therefore, 'life' is prioritized alongside knowledge... But Osimer is an exception. He doesn't seem to care about his own life at all."

Asia shook her head and was about to enter the bathtub—

"""Wait a moment!!!!"""

“…Ah, that’s right.”

Aisia shrugged and turned to a small bathing pool nearby. As she sank into the water, a faint sweet fragrance emanated from it. Her body was poisonous, a poison so strong it could corrode bones. Just soaking in it could turn a clear pool into a poisonous pond.

For her, bathing with others is a luxury in itself.

"..."

After having wronged her for so long, it’s time to give her some sweet rewards. After all, she is an important subordinate.

"Nell, where are you going?"

I didn't answer Qimila, but just stood up and walked towards Aisia's bath.

"Nell!?"

"Are you crazy!?"

"and many more--"

You guys are so noisy. Since I want to do this, it means I am sure of it.

I bathed in the shocked gazes of Aisia and the other three, tested the water temperature with my feet, and then dove directly into Aisia's pool of poisonous water.

"Hey! Nell!"

"It's okay, look."

I raised my hands to signal them that even after being soaked in venom, my hands were still as smooth as new.

"I've said before that I'm not afraid of your poison... but you all seem to have turned a deaf ear to it."

"But……"

Aisia still looked incredulous and cautiously poked my face with her fingers. It was so itchy.

She came closer to me, looked left and right, and obviously couldn't find any flaws.

"Now you believe it, don't you? Don't you think about how many poisonous insects there are in the world? Since ancient times, insects and poisons have always been compatible."

"That is to say..."

"Yeah, it's just me. You can touch me directly without gloves."

"!!!!!!!!!"

Aisia let out a long roar and pounced on me, but was then caught by my insects and thrown to the ground and lay still - that's all a story for later.

"..."

Riversta looked down at the Atlas Building with a stern face.

Nearly a thousand meters above the ground, beneath them lay the dimly lit city of Okomi. Above, the night sky, shimmering purple-black from the city lights, was dotted with stars. Yet, the star map constructed by Riversta outshone both artificial and natural light sources. A star map is a specialized magic array used exclusively for astrological magic. It consists of numerous magical nodes arranged to mimic the positions and patterns of the stars in the sky, devoid of any specific pattern or incantation. While ordinary astrological magicians construct star maps with only a few dozen or a few hundred stars, Stella's star map boasts thousands, reaching a diameter of up to a hundred meters.

And the Star Sage, Riversta, is completely beyond the norm.

The magical nodes representing the stars weren't laid out in two dimensions, but interconnected, forming a three-dimensional structure. From afar, it resembled a vast palace composed of countless stars. At this level, it was no longer a star map, but a star palace. Only Riversta could achieve this.

Under the cover of the Star Palace, everything is dominated by the Star Sage. As long as he has the idea, he can carry out a devastating carpet bombing on everything on the ground in an instant.

However, even he did not dare to act rashly against the building below.

It's not because I'm worried about the possible adverse effects, but simply because I don't dare to take Oshimir lightly.

"A crazy intellectual supremacist" - this is how anyone who first meets Osimer would label him.

But Riversta knew best how cold-blooded, cruel, and unreasonable he really was.

Many people say, "It's better to say that Oshimir is a demon king than a sage" - Riversta disagrees with this statement.

It's not "it's better to say he is the devil."

That bastard is actually the devil.

"Your Majesty."

Xuul appeared beside Riversta. The moment he appeared, even this hermit, whose status was second only to Riversta, couldn't help but shiver. The magical fluctuations emitted by the Star Palace were so terrifying.

"Until now, that group of people has not left the Atlas Building."

"Sure enough...those five women are indeed abnormal. They must be connected to Oshimir."

Seeing Riversta's serious expression, Xiuer couldn't help but say, "But Your Majesty, maybe they are just here to do some ordinary business in the building? Or maybe they are not guests of Oshimier, but other——"

“—No, I’m sure.”

Riversta stretched out his hand, holding a spherical barrier with a severed hand inside.

It is part of the remains of Oshimire's android found underground in Kasol.

"An alchemist's work is imbued with the maker's magic. The more powerful the maker, the longer the magic lasts."

"Could it be..."

"Yes," Rivesta pointed at the building below, his expression growing increasingly cold. "I can sense that there's a living being in this building that resonates with the magic of this sample. If I remember correctly, it should be the girl with dark blue hair in that group."

then,

Riversta gave the order.

"Everyone, keep a close eye on those people, especially the girl with dark blue hair. Once they leave the building, keep a close eye on their whereabouts. If there's a chance... it's best to invite them over directly."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~·

Tomorrow morning is the second to last exam...it's almost over.

Chapter 148 Oshimir (Part )

"Everyone, keep a close eye on those people, especially the girl with dark blue hair. Once they leave the building, keep a close eye on their whereabouts. If there's a chance... it's best to invite them over directly."

"But we..."

"We are monks, not kidnappers" - Xuer swallowed the first part of the sentence.

What else can we do in this situation?

Oshimir has been hiding deep in the building and has not come out. For Riversta, those girls are the best breakthrough point.

Maybe they are innocent, maybe they are indeed guilty, no matter what, he will never let them go -

--------------

(——Rivista will never let us go, because we are his only chance to break through.)

I explained to them.

Now we were all dressed in pajamas and ready for bed in the rooms assigned to us by Oshimier. I wore a light nightgown on top, and my usual underwear and stockings on the bottom. Charlotte wore a long black nightgown, Asia wore a contrasting white nightdress, and Sedroon slept completely naked.

Qimila's pajamas were still extravagantly decorated, and she was already fast asleep with her pillow in her arms.
