The First Negotiation
"Put me back the way I was, you monstrosity!"
What the—? The voice that suddenly rang out inside my head made me reflexively pull my tentacle away from the jelly.
Just like that, the voice vanished as if it had never been there.
So the woman’s ego really was trapped inside the jelly? And I could hear her voice through contact?
That shouldn’t be hard to confirm.
"P-please! Put me back the way I was!"
The moment I grabbed the jelly again with my tentacle, the woman’s voice came back to me. Could she hear mine too?
Hmm... how exactly do you want me to do that?
"H-Hik!? Y-you actually—!"
The instant my voice reached her, her ego trembled violently. Good. Communication was working just fine.
I got down to business.
Back the way you were... Why should I do that? What do you have that makes you worth trusting?
"I-I... I’m a Management Bureau employee. If something happens to me, you’re a dead monster too!"
The Management Bureau? And what exactly can they do?
"W-What can they do...? You’re just going to ignore the Management Bureau?"
No, seriously, what was the Management Bureau?
Still, from the way she spoke, it was obvious they were a group that hunted and controlled creatures like me. I answered her in a relaxed tone, just to pry for more information.
Are you really that important, to the point the Management Bureau would care if you vanished?
"Y-Yes! The Bureau wouldn’t run without me!"
Really...?
"Ugh...! N-not that important! But if I disappeared, they’d still investigate!"
So she wasn’t a high-ranking employee. Still, if they would investigate her disappearance, she wasn’t lying.
If she simply vanished without a word, anyone would naturally want to know why.
In that case, I’d need to make her tell them directly that she couldn’t come into work.
She could always lie and say she was sick or had a family bereavement and would be out for a few days... The problem was whether she’d actually go along with it.
Fine. I’ll put you back the way you were, just as you asked.
"R-Really!?"
In return, you’ll have to do something for me too. A kind of deal.
"A... a deal with an Anomaly...? Ughhh! They told us in company training never to do that...!"
I spoke in a calm voice, but the one who was truly desperate was me.
I was a pathetically weak tentacle monster who’d nearly been killed by an adult woman. How was I supposed to beat an organization specialized in Anomalies?
You’re taking too long to decide. Fine, I’ll help you along.
"H-help me...?"
You still don’t seem to value your life very much. I’ll teach you the importance of living.
"W-wait! Hold on!"
Ignoring her cries, I lifted the jelly. It was a color and texture that no human being would ever find appetizing, but I was different now.
My appetite surged far more violently than it ever had when I’d seen a ramen video on Shorts in the dead of night. I wanted to taste this jelly.
When I spread my three tentacles apart, a small opening appeared between them.
It had no teeth and no tongue, yet it was clearly the organ that served as a mouth.
I took the barest bite out of the jelly’s edge, just enough to hurt.
"Kyaaaah!!"
The scream that burst through my head was loud enough to make me flinch. That was more than enough to tell me how much pain she was in.
"I’m sorry! Please, just spare me! I’ll do whatever you want, so please don’t eat me!"
I think I understand your position very well.
"Yes, yes! So please don’t eat me! Don’t swallow part of me!"
Mhm. I quite liked how obedient she’d become.
So. What’s your name and position?
"My name is Kang Se-ah. I’m a low-level employee in Information Management Division 3 of the Management Bureau."
Information Management Division? What exactly do you do there?
"We preserve mission records collected by Anomaly extermination teams and field agents, upload Anomaly activity data to the server, and manage it all..."
The first woman I’d ever hunted was named Kang Se-ah.
A low-level administrative employee in a massive organization called the Management Bureau. She wasn’t a combatant, but the fact that she had access to Anomaly data made her rather interesting.
Of course, as a low-ranking employee, she didn’t know the truly important information, but what I needed most right now was basic background knowledge.
How this world worked, what Anomalies were, and what the Management Bureau even was. Se-ah was the perfect person to get that knowledge from.
So, to sum up: there are all sorts of monsters in this world—Anomalies, in the Management Bureau’s terms.
And the Management Bureau controls information so ordinary people don’t learn about Anomalies, while also hunting them down.
"That’s right. And Anomalies are born from Yin Energy."
Apparently, Yin Energy was a substance similar to mana or magical power in fantasy worlds. Anomalies were born from Yin Energy, and agents also used the Yin Energy within their bodies to unleash various abilities and defeat them.
So I had also been born from this Yin Energy, and by consuming it, I would grow stronger.
That’s enough information for now.
"Th-then... will you put me back the way I was now...?"
Of course. A promise is a promise.
"Th-thank you so much!"
I looked at Se-ah’s body. Until a moment ago, before she’d been completely drained from the jelly, she’d still been conscious.
Then if I put the jelly back in, would her consciousness return? It was time to find out.
Grabbing the tip of the Personality Jelly, I pulled it out of the toilet bowl. I was a weak little tentacle monster, so only part of the jelly came free, but it was long enough for an experiment.
I looked at Se-ah’s anus. Time had made it clamp down a little, but it was still open wide enough to take the jelly.
I slipped one tentacle into her anus.
"O-ohhh♥"
Se-ah’s body let out a sweet little moan. With no consciousness to guide it, her flesh seemed even more willing to submit to pleasure.
I twisted the tentacle I’d inserted into her ass back and forth, widening the inner space.
Every time I moved it, she let out gasping moans like "Hohk♥" and "Ehgk♥," and for some reason that made my spirits oddly lift.
"D-do we really need to do that?"
Of course. If I’m putting the jelly in, I need to widen the entrance first.
"U-ugh... I think it’s wide enough already..."
She sounded embarrassed by the shameless sounds her own body was making.
I reluctantly withdrew the tentacle, then aimed the jelly at the opening of her anus.
Ready?
"Y-yes...!"
Then in it goes.
With a bit of force, I pushed the jelly into the anus I’d lined up with it. A wet, squelching sound followed, and the tip of the jelly was visibly pressed inside.
And at the same moment, Se-ah’s body began to move again.
"I-I’m back!"
After confirming that putting the jelly in let the body move again, I mercilessly pulled it back out.
Once the jelly was removed, Se-ah’s body collapsed face-first onto the bathroom floor again with an exhausted "Eghk!" just like before.
"W-why, why did you take it out again!? You promised! Is this why you don’t make deals with Anomali—!"
Quiet.
"Hic!?!"
One low jab into the jelly made her shriek and shut up instantly.
Just like that, I can restore your body. And at any time, I can turn you back into an unconscious meat doll.
I wrapped the jelly in my tentacles and crawled up onto the body lying face-down on the floor.
Surely you understand the situation now. Your only way to live is to obey me.
Silence hung in the air for a long moment. The pink jelly in my grasp trembled faintly.
I could feel her pride slowly crumbling beneath the weight of fear.
"...Okay. Please, just don’t eat me. I’ll do... everything you say."
Good. Excellent. Then let’s practice a little, shall we?
I pushed the jelly back into Se-ah’s anus. I didn’t know what she might try, so I only inserted it enough that it could slip out again at a touch.
"Hah! I’m back!"
Then get up and find something to put that jelly in.
"O-okay. But couldn’t you put it in a little farther? It feels like it’ll fall out if I cough..."
Ha.
"Hehe."
Move.
"Yes, sir!"
Se-ah rose carefully. There was no need for her to worry, since I was holding the jelly tight.
When she left the bathroom, the jelly connected to her anus slid out of the toilet. Only then could I finally judge its length: roughly two meters.
"Y-you’re really holding it properly, right?"
Yes. Stop worrying and keep looking for something to put it in.
"Ugh, this feels like I’m about to shit or not shit or something, and it’s making me nervous..."
Se-ah whined as she searched for a container. Fortunately, the kitchen had a bucket of a suitable size.
"This was used for cleaning... Do I really have to put my ego in here?"
Tsk.
"Hiiik!? O-okay, okay, I get it!"
Se-ah rolled up the Personality Jelly that had been dragging along the floor and dropped it into the bucket. That should make things a little easier to handle now.
Contact your superior. Tell them you probably won’t be able to come in for a few days.
"Uuugh... my performance review..."
Oh?
"I-I’ll do it!"
[Recipient: Team Leader of Team 3] [Message: Team Leader, I’m sorry. I suddenly developed a very high fever today, so I think I’ll need to take a few days off.]
Se-ah picked up her phone and sent the text. To be exact, I made her type and send exactly what I dictated.
If she sent it on her own, she might try to work a secret distress signal into the message using some cipher I didn’t know.
"Ah! They replied. They told me to rest well and take my time."
Good. Then for now, stay inside the bucket.
"Ughk!"
-Pop.
After the Personality Jelly was placed in the bucket and the message had been sent to keep the Management Bureau from getting suspicious, there was only one thing left to do: level up as much as possible.
To level up, I needed to absorb as much Yin Energy as I could.
Going out to hunt in this condition would be dangerous. For now, I’ll have to make do with Se-ah’s body.
I climbed onto Se-ah’s body, which had collapsed on the living room floor after the jelly had been removed.
And then, to make her womb spew out Yin Energy, I kept pounding her pussy over and over again.
Without ever hearing the voice of Se-ah, who was moaning in the body beneath me, unable to forget the pleasure from before.
