Chapter 146

The words are sent before I can stop them from going out.

“Why?”

It sounded genuinely curious. Gone was the lioness’s pounce from its voice. Even so the mounting stress continued to pile on and I doubt I can withstand the pressure much longer.

I attempt to take a pause and recollect myself but I clearly fail because the next words out of my mouth are a subtle jab with a hint of humor in them.

The worst kind of humor.

“Because there isn’t mush-room for MY KIND here.”

Puns.

The world’s most groan worthy kind of humor.

Again I regret my words as soon as their out of my mou… well my mycelium rather.

It’s dad humor and I should be go be put straight in jail.

Not to mention I don’t even think these assholes have humor in the first place.

Fucking hell! That the inhabitants of this place first exposure to humor might be puns and its my fault might be the most egregious crime I’ve ever committed.

Actually now that I think about it, there might be hope that it didn’t even understand it due to translation nodule.

“Guardian …”

Yes! It’s only said my name so far but it’s tone suggested I was in the clear.

“I’m sorry you haven’t felt welcomed so far.”

The kind words slip right by me and I rejoice in the fact that it didn’t understand the pun!!!
