Volume 1: Chapter 36, Talulah, I'm Sorry

　　“…”

　　The Elafia girl was so shocked by the little boy's shocking words that she couldn't even open her mouth.

　　It is big enough to fit a thick and hard muslin.

　　What did Zerg just say?

　　Alina couldn't help but recall the other party's words just now -

　　"Alina, can you give Zerg a lick?"

　　My heart couldn't help but tremble.

　　Don't get me wrong, it's not because of some weird plot.

　　Just out of pure surprise.

　　"Um, Zerg..."

　　The girl forced a smile.

　　"Can you repeat what you just said?"

　　Maybe I heard it wrong?

　　Alina convinced herself.

　　Look at Zerg, he's so cute, why would he make such a weird request?

　　"Um...Alina, can you let Zerg lick it?"

　　The little swarm master tilted his head and repeated his request.

　　The black stone I just saw is a high-energy mineral, but I still have to try it myself to be sure.

　　“…”

　　The Elafia girl subconsciously glanced back at the wooden door behind her.

　　It's closed well.

　　Although the soundproofing effect is questionable, the sound of the wind outside should be enough to cover up their conversation, right?

　　If this conversation was overheard, my career would probably be over, right?

　　Alina seemed to see the look in her good friend's eyes, as if she was looking at a pervert.

　　"Alina..."

　　The little insect swarm master focused his gaze on the girl's wrist which was hidden by her sleeve.

　　“…”

　　The Elafia girl's face tightened.

　　We can’t let the people inside hear it!

　　what to do?

　　That’s right, then just make a loud noise to cover it up!

　　"Ahahaha, Zerg, come over with your sister first."

　　For some reason, Alina did not bring Zerg into the house, but instead took him around to the firewood room not far behind the cabin.

　　While covering up the child's voice with words, she coaxed and deceived the child away.

　　“Ka…”

　　The wooden door of the firewood room made a somewhat harsh sound and then was closed.

　　The view suddenly became dark, and only a small amount of light entered the woodshed through the window.

　　Alina turned around and met the young child's gaze.

　　Still so pure and flawless, without any strange look.

　　"Um, Zerg, why do you want to...lick your sister?"

　　The girl's face was slightly flushed, and she asked this question while suppressing her shyness.

　　“Because black stones look delicious!”

　　Anything that provides energy is delicious!

　　Zerg said innocently.

　　“…”

　　The Elafia girl was stunned.

　　Black stone...

　　Isn't that Originium?

　　Lick, lick the Originium?

　　Alina couldn't help but take a few steps back.

　　Not out of fear, but out of worry.

　　If Zerg licks the Originium, won't he become an infected person like me?

　　The Elafia girl refused to let this happen.

　　Such a cute child should not become an infected person that everyone dislikes!

　　He still has a great life ahead of him!

　　"Zerg, no."

　　Waving her hand, Alina rejected the request of the little swarm master.

　　"Alina, Zerg wants to lick."

　　Zerg showed a pitiful look.

　　According to experience, as long as he shows this kind of look, he can get the other person to give him the food.

　　Successful examples include Kiana Kaslana and Bronya.

　　“…”

　　So, so cute!

　　Alina's eyes were stunned.

　　That pitiful appearance perfectly fits the image of a child that the Elafia girl occasionally fantasizes about.

　　Her maternal instinct was almost overflowing.

　　"No, I can't!"

　　Resisting some impulse, Alina turned her head.

　　We must not let Zerg lick the Originium!

　　She couldn't bear the responsibility of letting a lovely child become infected.

　　That kind of shame and regret would definitely crush her will!

　　"Alina~"

　　Zerg learned certain skills without any guidance.

　　"hiss……"

　　A blush completely took over her cheeks.

　　Alina's heart couldn't help but beat rapidly.

　　I really want to hold Zerg in my arms and knead his smooth face!

　　I really want to buy a lot of clothes and dress up Zerg to be more cuter!

　　I really want to...

　　In an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind.

　　Each one is related to Zerg.

　　The maternal love is overflowing!

　　The Elafia girl felt that her will was about to be pierced by desire.

　　“No…no…I can’t…”

　　Facing the wooden door, Alina covered her ears.

　　Talulah is still in the cabin. If she knew...

　　The Elafia girl couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

　　“…”

　　Well, Alina refused, what to do?

　　What had been successful before had failed.

　　Zerg blinked.

　　But the black stone is likely to accelerate the development of the insect swarm.

　　Alina was again a good person who gave her food.

　　The little child stared at the girl from Elafia.

　　The other person was leaning against the door at the moment, and her body was unconsciously tilted up, making a certain part of her body appear unusually round.

　　However, the Swarm Overlord's attention was only focused on the opponent's wrist.

　　That's where the black stone is.

　　Finally, Zerg began to move forward.

　　Growing the swarm takes priority over anything else at this moment.

　　He had to confirm the nature of the black stone.

　　“…”

　　Alina's heart trembled when she heard footsteps behind her.

　　Ze, Zerg is coming?

　　He, what is he going to do?

　　The Elafia girl tried to turn around and stop Zerg's advance.

　　But she was also afraid that when she turned around and saw the cute face of the little child, all her previous efforts would be in vain.

　　What if I agree to it in a daze?

　　Then--

　　"Alina, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

　　Talulah’s disappointed voice seemed to ring in my ears.

　　The Elafia girl didn't want to lose her friend.

　　Although it was not her subjective will, a person who is almost an adult should be responsible for her own actions anyway.

　　She absolutely cannot...

　　“…”

　　The sleeves were lifted at the wrists.

　　The fair wrists were exposed to the cold air.

　　This made Alina shudder.

　　"Zerg, don't..."

　　She made a faint sound of resistance.

　　The Elafia girl wanted to stop the little kid's behavior.

　　However, her wrist was grabbed and taken to a certain position.

　　"Black stone!"

　　Zerg looked at the crystal stone embedded in his wrist with sparkling eyes.

　　High-energy resources, if they can be collected in large quantities, can greatly accelerate the development of the insect swarm.

　　“…”

　　There was great power in her small frame, and Alina found herself unable to break free of her restraints.

　　The warm breath hit her skin, and the Elafia girl's body softened unconsciously.

　　A blush appeared on her face.

　　Feeling the breath approaching, Alina closed her eyes.

　　Talulah, I'm sorry.

　　“Slurp.”
