POV: Lumine

Hessien's eyes move around frantically as he heaves.

He struggles with his pants that are at his knees. To my horror, slimy saliva-like fluids flow down his ass.

No way. This couldn't have happened to him!

My voice shakes as I cautiously ask, "Did you... get fluids up your ass?" I don't even want to say it.

"Huh?! No! NO! Nothing went in my ass!" Hessien vehemently denies.

Well, that's a relief... sort of. He still has that disgusting substance all over him, but since it looks like it's mixed with saliva, maybe it's not what I fear. Hopefully.

Hessien's gaze darts around until he spots a metal spear on the wall. He dashes towards it, pulls it out, and brandishes it as his weapon.

With pure determination in his eyes, he declares, "I am going to kill whatever was in there."

"You know, this wouldn't have happened if you had listened to me," I can't help but comment.

He stares at me.

"Victim blaming," he mutters before rushing into the bathroom.

There's no way this guy just tried that shit on me! I follow him into the bathroom but stay close to the wall, far away from the toilet, and close to the door. If I have to, I'll probably have to sacrifice him. I'm sure he'd be okay with it... Yeah, he would be.

"Show yourself, you little shit!" Hessien shouts repeatedly.

Loud footsteps approach. It must be Ghomas and Vacinay rushing to our aid. But to our surprise, it's the guards from earlier, except the annoying guy isn't present.

Worried, one of the guards asks, "What is it? We heard a scream."

Right, they're from this world. If anyone would know about that weird shit, it would be them.

I immediately tell them, "There is some weird pervert tongue monster in that damn toilet."

He raises an eyebrow and then looks at the half-naked Hessien. His gaze shifts between me and Hessien again. He asks, suspiciously, "He...?"

The other guard mutters, "Sure looks like it."

They think I'm talking about Hessien? Do they think I don't know the difference between a damn toilet and a bathroom?

"No," I say. "It's in the toilet. It spat some weird fluids on him."

Hessien's anger grows even more upon hearing me mention fluids.

One of the guards then realizes what we're talking about, saying, "Ah! The shit cleaner."

"What?" Hessien and I blurt out simultaneously.

The guard nods with his hands on his waist. "You guys were talking about it like it was some monster or something. It's just the regular sewage creature. It lives in the sewage and has thousands of appendages."

What the hell? That's gross, but more importantly, why the hell would it be in the toilet system? Shouldn't it be much lower in the sewage?

Hessien screams as he hurls insults. "What the hell?! That thing shot some weird shit on my ass! And it's in that toilet just waiting for someone to be a victim of its weird stuff!"

The guard shakes his head as if Hessien's being dumb. "Yes, it ejected a slime fluid that killed bacteria and ensured that all solids and particles dropped down the shitter. How else were people supposed to get their ass clean?"

I'm so disgusted that all I can do is stare. I want to pretend like I didn't just hear that, but I'm pretty sure I heard it right.

Vacinay and Ghomas reach, wearing concerned expressions and wondering what's going on.

Ghomas asks, "So... why is he pants less and wet?" referring to Hessien.

Hessien shouts, "Some weird shit in that shitter did that!"

Vacinay, who has her hand on her waist, remains puzzled. "I am confused."

Hessien ignores her. "I don't have time for this!"

With the spear, he makes multiple thrusts down the toilet cylinder, trying to kill the creature.

Yes! Kill it!

The guard runs in, panicked. "Don't!"

"Why would you do that?!" The other one screams.

I dash in their way and point at them threateningly.

I turn off my auto-translation. "Move, move, move!"

I repeat my words, knowing they can't understand me. To them, it probably seems like I'm casting a spell or something scary. And it works.

Agitated, the guard shouts, "You have to stop him from trying to harm it!"

Hessien's face contorts with pure evil excitement. He looks like he could have been the dark lord of this world. But with how concerned the guard is, there must be a reason for it other than Hessien simply harming it.

I ask, "What will happen?"

The guard, who is about to respond, shakes his head and runs. The other guard follows suit.

...Is it going to climb out of the toilet and attack us...?

I don't even turn to look at Hessien. I make my escape along with the guards, jumping and sliding outside.

Why Hessien isn't running away?

"Hey! It's going to attack you!" I shout.

"Eh? No way, it hasn't even moved—" Hessien's speech comes to an end as something absolutely disgusting happens.

Brown.

A stream of softened brown solids shoots up from the cylinder as he's talking, bathing his upper body while his mouth is open. The stream has so much pressure that it reaches the wall and quickly splashes on the ground, creating a disgusting shit flood which is heading towards us like a wave.

"What the..." Vacinay gags.

Ghomas runs away from the foul smell of shit!

I quickly grab the doorknob and close the door, sacrificing Hessien.

Well, it's not really a sacrifice since he's the first one to become a victim of the shit stream.

The door shakes a little from the force, but it holds strong. Fortunately, the space that's usually beneath the door is blocked, so nothing flows from under it.

It would be quite unfortunate if he literally drowned in it... Okay, maybe that's an actual concern.

Turning towards the guards, who are trying their best not to vomit, I ask, "What happens now?"

One guard pinches his nose as he informs me, "The feces and everything will be sucked back in a minute or two. After that, we will send janitors to clean the area."

Oh, so that same monster is going to suck... Blegh!

Before I can even feel it, I vomit, and worse, I don't have time to move my arm out of the way!

My arm is covered in soup and pieces of bread I had eaten earlier.

Agh... gross.

Ignoring the guards' reactions, I walk towards the nearest faucet, which is in the kitchen. I somewhat remember its location.

I have to wait a minute or two for the restroom door to open anyway. I open the faucet. The design is close enough to Earth's.

The water is purple...?

Please don't tell me there's some other monster or whatever that provides 'water.' It doesn't have a smell at least, but I'm not taking any chances with this crap.

I march back to where the guards are and ask straightforwardly, "Purple water, why?"

The guard furrows his brow. "That's... just the color of water. What else would it be? Green?"

Why the hell did we get summoned to this world... Just to be sure, I have to ask another question. "Where does that water come from?"

"From underground."

Oh, we have that on Earth... but I'm concerned that it's underground because of a creature's secretion.

As much as I want to be sure of what the water is to wash this filth off me, Hessien's condition is more of a concern. Over two minutes have passed, which means we can help him.

Ghomas has his ears glued to the door. "Hey! You still alive?"

Of course he is. There's no way someone would die such a lame death.

There's no response.

I shout, "Answer, Hessien!"

Vacinay kicks the door intensely, saying, "Oi oi oi!"

There's silence for a minute.

Oh shit. I think he might have died.
