Chapter 232: Naked Excursion

“Really?”

“Yeah.” The Paru nodded. “I can.”

“Huh.”

Both Raya and him were seated on the ground with their legs crossed, one in front of the other.

“Can I see?”

“Hm…” He rubbed his chin for a moment. “It would be better to find something to feed it to, right?”

“Wow. You want to poison something just to show me?”

“Yeah. Preferably a Granilith, so I can judge how much stronger it is now… Because it got stronger.” The Paru explained.

“Alright!” Raya clapped her hands together and stood up. “Let’s go find one then. Gaining the ability to produce poison means a whole bunch of new organs.” She reached forward, extending a hand to him. “Let’s go, um…”

“Cero.” The Paru said as he placed his hand into hers. “You can call me Cero.”

“I would rather not…” Raya muttered, before attempting to pull him up so that he would stand. “Wha…”

“It’s my name.” The Paru explained. “Cero, alright? There’s no you would rather this or that.”

“How… Cold…!” Raya gritted her teeth, as she pulled with as much strength as she could. “What do I only… Hear about your name… Now…?”

“Cause I just decided on it. It’s Cero.”

“Alright, fine. Cero!”

Only then did her pulling manage to get his butt off the ground.

“Thank you, Raya.” The Paru smirked as she breathed heavily with her palms against her knees.

“You… You’re welcome. Fuck me… You’re heavy.”

“I sure am.” The Paru chuckled as he took a step in the direction he thought he would find Graniliths in.

“S-So… You can produce Poison.”

“I can.”

“And it got stronger? What does that mean exactly?”

“Not sure.” He shrugged. “I ate some… Things that held a stronger Poison, I suppose.”

“So…” Raya tilted her head so that it would stand in his way. “Does that mean your old Poison is gone, replaced with the new stronger one? Or is it a mix of both? Or even something else?”

The Paru tilted his head for a moment.

“I’m not sure.” He rubbed his chin. “That is an interesting question though. If it’s a mix, then it’s less likely for the one hit by it to be resistant… Since he would need to be resistant to both Poisons. A mix seems to be the best option, especially-”

“Especially if you control the percentage! Like one time it would be 90% new, 10% old… Then some other time, 10% new, 90% old… But then you would need real-time production. That’s tough.” Raya held her chin. “Usually, the organs that hold the Poison are filled with said Poison, then the creature uses that Poison which has been produced and stocked for the past couple of days or even weeks… Can you produce it in real-time? I mean… Force your body to produce it?”

“I think so, yeah.”

“That’s so freaky!” Raya said with shining eyes.

“It is?”

“Of course! It’s the same as… Um… The same as…” Raya’s palm tapped her stomach, finding the right comparison. “It would be the same as controlling your stomach, you know? Well, similar, I suppose. Like controlling the gastric acid produced by the stomach! You can’t control how much of it your body produces, can you?”

“Oh. I see what you mean… Since I can control the Poison produced, then maybe I can control that as well.”

“Seriously?”

“Maybe?”

“Huh. Have been doing it? I mean… Producing it? Gastric acid?”

“Well, I guess.” The Paru chuckled. “I can consciously produce more Poison, but if I don’t think about it, it still gets produced until a certain point… Does that make sense?”

“A certain point… So once a certain amount is produced, you need to consciously decide to produce more, if you want more.”

“Yeah, something like that.”

“Amazing…” Raya nodded. “You’re a one-of-a-kind scientific case, you know?”

“I guess.”

A cool breeze passed through the dark forest.

“That feels nice.” Raya whispered. “It’s so hot on here, since the sun stays up for so long.”

“Isn’t it hotter on Wor?”

“Ha.” Raya chuckled. “It is. But I’m usually not an outdoor person.”

“So you’re a nerd too.”

“Well, yeah.” Raya shrugged. “I’m a scientist. What did you expect? And what do you mean by nerd -Too-? You’re not talking about yourself, are you?”

“No.”

“Then?”

“Can’t say.”

“Why not?”

“Signed an NDA.”

“How do you know what that is?”

“I just… Know stuff.”

“Hm…” Raya rubbed her chin for a moment. ‘Should I talk about that, or would it make him mad?’

“Can we go? I still want to test the Poison.”

“Hm… Let’s go back for a bit.”

“…”

The two went back to the area around the spaceship where they had held the drinking party.

Noticing that a good amount of wine was left, they filled a bucket with that wine so that it would be easier to carry. This didn’t make it easier to drink though.

“Can we go?” Cero asked, carrying the bucket in his hand.

“Sure.” Raya nodded as her hands moved towards her hips.

“What are you…?”

“Getting naked.”

“Oh. You think this bucket of wine will give you the courage to…?”

“No.” Raya rolled her eyes as she pulled her dress up, taking it off swiftly. “You’re walking around naked, so I will too… If you don’t mind.”

The dress was taken off, causing her large breasts to jiggle.

“I don’t mind.”

Raya remained in her underwear and boots only.

“Alright then.”

Raya lay her dress on one of the logs on the ground, stepped away, gazed at Cero’s massive member, then turned back towards the log.

“Let’s go.” She nodded a moment later as her bra fell through the air to land on the dress she had taken off earlier.

“Are you trying to prove that you’re not a nerd?”

“I don’t have a problem with being a nerd.” Raya shrugged. “My issue is… With something else.”

“Something else?”

“Well, it doesn’t really matter.” She sighed. “Though that’s how Jay and Al used to refer to me, annoying pricks.”

“And what’s that?”

Raya scratched her cheek.

“A femcel.”

Cero’s all-out laughter almost drew the attention of both the crewmates and Tyl-based creatures to them.

…

“So we’re looking for a Granilith, right?” Raya asked.

“Yeah.” Cero answered. “As I said, to test the Poison.

“Right… But isn’t that weird?”

“What is?”

“Well, you and Lith are… You know… A thing, or whatever, right?”

“Sure.”

“She’s a female Granilith… But you’re looking for Graniliths to kill. Isn’t that… A bit…?”

“A bit what?”

“You really don’t see what I’m trying to say?”

“I do, but I don’t see why it would be an issue.”

“Well, they’re from the same Species so…”

“I wouldn’t have a problem with you all hunting down Parus.” Cero shrugged.

“I get that but… You’re different from other Parus, no?”

“Mayybe.”

“I mean… You could like… Think, right? Even before you uh… Came across… Well, us.”

“Yes.”

“Is it the same for other Parus?”

“I doubt it.”

“What do you think is the difference? What is it that makes you special?”

The Paru brought a bucket of wine closer to his mouth and took a couple of gulps, something that gave Raya the perfect opportunity to peek at his massive member without feeling weird about it. Her gaze lingered on the drop of wine that went down his neck and chest.

“The difference is… The fact that I have a Soul?”

“That’s highly unscientific…”

“It is the truth though.” The Paru shrugged, handing her the bucket of wine, from which Raya took a sip.

“You can say that, but it doesn’t mean anything. It’s all about the brain.”

“The Goddess wouldn’t be happy to hear that.”

“Or God!” Raya pointed. “God could be a man, you know?”

“Mm… I don’t think this one translates well.”

“What do you mean?”

“Nevermind… So you’re interested in that? The Soul and all?”

“Of course. It remains one of the biggest scientific mysteries.” Raya scratched her cheek. “And you’re the perfect case to… You know… Study that.”

“How so?” It only took a moment for Cero to realize. “Studying a different Paru and studying me.”

“I guess.” Raya rubbed her forehead. “That might sound strange but… Well, you know? Just the brain, I mean.”

“Do Parus even have brains?”

“Are you saying that you don’t have one?” Raya smiled cheekily.

“Depends on the situation.” He slowly lowered his gaze towards her large and exposed breasts. “There are situations where my brain shuts off.”

“Well,” Raya turned away. “Try to keep it working for a bit longer.”

“Since when are you the tease in this relationship?”

Raya turned her face towards him, smiling, and slightly blushing.

“Since when is this a relationship?”

…

“There’s a Granilith.” The Paru whispered.

“Can you keep the light on? I can’t see anything!”

“No.”

Raya gulped as the Paru took a step away.

“Are you sure this is okay?”

“Yeah. Lith is completely different from them, you know?”

Raya scratched her cheek, watching him walk away and disappear into the darkness.

‘Is she though?’
