[Alysha's Pov]
Well that was anticlimatic.
I hoped to duel the idiot outside or at least kill him when we were alone so I could eat him, but I guess I'll just have to settle for his heart alone. It wasn't too bad though. Chewy and not too much blood mixed in.
After the incident at the adventurer's guild, I decided to go back to the forest in order to vent out some of the frustration I've been accumulating over all of these days.
Staying in an extremely smelly and noisy city, with people constantly eyeing me... like those scientist did... I honestly wanted to kill them all, but I knew even I for as strong as I might be will not survive if an entire city goes against me. At least not yet.
I'm still undecided on what exactly to do about the heroes. If they hear what happened, I'll lose the shy girl image I built amongst them. Perhaps I just have to trick them and bring them into a trap, then eat them there? I'm not shure, but I know we'll become enemies very soon. That's too bad, I kinda liked being petted by bearguy... Although he does look tasty.
Once I passed out of the gate, which didn't take as long as when we entered, I immediatly ran to the forest which was 2 or so miles away and began tree jumping. I've developed this technique when I was still in the forest, and used it to ambush preys in order to get a quick fatal blow on them.
I had picked up two nice bandit subjugation quest. I think I'll just bring their heads and eat the rest.
Ever since I ate the tiger, I've been finding myself improving less and less. I think it's because all the people I eat are weak. Also, I haven't received any modifications ever since, and I feel like I'd need something really big for that to happend.
After 2 hours of searching and exploring, I finally arrive at what seems a small camp. It's well hidden but very noisy. I can hear people chatting and training.
As I sneak near the camp, I consider the options and the fun involved in each. I can bulldoze my way through, not letting anyone escape and learn of my immortality, which I want to keep as a trump cart, or I can disguise myself as a captures slave and then kill them in their sleep. I think I'll pass on the slave idea, as I don't think I'd be able to handle their gazes and the idea alone makes me shiver.
So, what else but bulldoze in and kill them all? Maybe I'll find someone actually strong! (Hope dies last, but it always dies)
Grinning widely, I approach the four guards on watch. Right now is almost sunset, so the light is already starting to go away. As I approach, the bandits look at me strangely. One of them seems confused, and the other three look lustful. Go figure, they're bandits. Only one in four wonders why a little girl suddently walks up to their camp alone. And even then he doesn't look threatened. Idiots, cretins, dumb, empty brains, dunces, fools, morons.
I don't know if I should just kill them immediatly or tease them a bit. Eh, I'll tease the second bandit camp after this. Scratch that, I wanna go buy some clothes after this. I'll just kill the three perverts and question the half-idiot.
As I approach, they get their weapons ready and walk toward me, one of them asking "Are you lost girl? Why don't you come with us so we..." I don't let him finish his sentence as I jump at him and bite off his neck. Only to immediatly spew it out. It tastes awful. Do these guys even clean themselves? I've tasted cochroaches and they taste better then this.
The other three were dumbfolded, I mean, I crossed ten meters in a flash and killed one of them, but you still should probably get your guards up. I'll teach them a lesson to get dumbfolded in the middle of a battle, the price shall be their lives.
As they immediatly try to pull out their swords, my two tails wrap around the necks of the two remaining perverts and I immediatly kill them by constricting them as hard as I can, which earns me a nice shower of blood. The last idiot tries to shout, but I bonk him on the head and send him unconscious.
After dragging the three (soon-to-be-four) corpses back into the woods as fast as possible, checking if anyone appears. I have to make this quick, if I let any survive then there's no point in this, so I want to know where everyone is and what they're patterns are.
After bringing them to a small river close to their camp, in which I luckily find nobody close, I wash the bodies of the three dead people, then rip out one of their hearts and start gnawing on it. It's not great, but I guess it isn't bad. That tiger is still the best meal I ever had though.
I go to the alive but unconscious idiot, I slap him on the face a few times, and he finally wakes up. I made shure to hit soft enough to not do any particular damage, but it still must have hurt as hell. He looks at me horrified, and as he screams I wrap my tails around both of his arms and spread them out, pulling his arms with them. He now looks like jesus when he was crucified. Should I stab him in the heart like the guard did? No. I don't even want to remember the religion of that place.
I put a hand over my mouth, and he immediatly stops screaming, looking at me like I'm a monster. Which, to be fair, I kinda am by now. Ah, right, I always was, sucks to be you, idiot.
"Well~ It seems somebody was a naughty boy, and tried talking to this friendly me in an overly unfriendly manner~ Didn't your mommie teach you respect? It seems I'll have to teach them to you~ Sad day to be alive, isn't it?" I say, as I begin to pull on his arms, which begin to make creaking noises. He starts screaming and begging me to stop, which only fuels my inner sadist. We're gonna have a looooong day my friend~
I stop pulling and release a little to make shure he doesn't die, and he looks up at me, only to find me grinning such a wide smile no human possibly could reach. I first stab into his legs and arms, making shure to only hit the nerves. Hey, after spending so long with scientists, at least you get to learn some pretty useful stuff right? I still remember that one scientist who was nice enough to lock me up in his living room. He watched a lot of that anime stuff I watched before I got captured. Good times, good times...
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
I leave the guy slumped onto the ground, bleeding profousely, and drag back the corpse of the pervert who approached me. I then stab my hand in his chest and finally find his heart after a bit of searching. Bandits are truly heartless, aren't they~
After taking out my snack, I then walk back at the idiot. He seems like he's about to puke... Scratch that, he just puked. I guess I'll throw him in the river before eating him? I'm not desperate enough to eat puke or poop.
After a bit of 'convincing' he wholeheartidly tells me everything he know about their group. Apparently, their leader is a B-ranked adventurer that got fired after raping some woman from god knows where. I'm suprised adventurers can get fired, but I think it only happens if they cause trouble for the guild too many times or someone has solid evidence of their crimes. They usually raid caravans or attack lone hunters for their money and loot. They also specialize in kidnapping women and selling them off as slaves in the elven empire. I figured there were elves, but really? Elves have slavery?
After he tells me where everyone lives and what turns they take to guard the camp, I decide to kill him in a very~ naughty (and horrible) way. I wrap one of my tails around his waist, with arms included, and the other around his feet. I then lift him upside down, make his head be on the same height as mine. I first cut off his tongue to make sure he won't actually enjoy what I'm about to do. I then proceed to kiss him, making shure he can't breath. Don't get me wrong, I just always wanted to try to kill someone with a kiss and make the saying 'A kiss that can kill' come to reality, I'm not a pervert.
He first looked very confused, but then after I refuse to let him go, he tries to shake his head, which I hold still with my still free arms. How convinient is it to essentially have four arms? My tails are just so awesome, I can do anything with them, and if I stretch them to their whole lenght they easily surpass four meters in lenght each, although it hurts when I do it.
After five minutes of shaking his head around, he finally dies. I made shure that he wouldn't just fall unconscious by checking his heartbeat, so when his heart stopped I knew he was gone for good.
Since he said that each turn usually lasts the whole night, I can afford to take my time, as the night only began. Hopefully nobody goes and searches for them...
After I washed my dinner throughtly (throwing them in the river) I line them up, take the desserts out to save them for later, and begin eating. I somehow don't need to chew when I eat, and my mouth can stretch to almost twice it's normal size if I really try, making it possible to eat a head whole. Plus, everything I eat ends up strenghtening me, so I don't even gain any fat from eating, but I do gain weight. Lots of it. I think I currently wait 200 kilos or something, But it's all condensed muscles and tissues, so it's not that I mind.
As I turn back toward the bandit's camp while wolfing down my desserts, I quickly there by tree jumping like in the anime I saw a very long time ago, where the protagonist had a wierd fox inside of him. I don't remember the name, but it was really popular.
As I circle around the camp and sneak around the tents, making sure that nobody sees me (which is kinda easy considering they're all asleep) I arrive at the leader's tent, if the information the idiot gave me is correct he should be fairly strong, I may even cook him alive if he's strong enough to be worth the effort, otherwise I'll just eat him right here.
I can hear moaning sounds from the tent. Looks like somebody's going at it hard, maybe I can even play around with him for a bit?
As an idea suddently sparks in my corrupted mind, I tear off my coat that was covered in the blood of the idiot, and I simply sneak inside the tent. What I saw was outside the expectations, but not too far off. First, the woman didn't seem like a slave, but more like his wife, which might be the case. The tent was also all neat and organized.
I sneak up behind them, and then simply poke the leader on the back. He swiftly turns behind and looks at me in all my naked glory. Too glorious for his eyes though, so I quickly stab them. He screams, which would alert his mates of the danger, if they hadn't had too much wine last night from the successful raid, which they did, so they won't know anything.
The woman was looking at me angrily, but since I have a couple torture methods I want to use, I'll keep her alive for now. Barely.
I shoot my tails at their necks and swiftly catch them. The man was still holding his bleeding eyes while cursing, and the woman was too immerse in her activities to truly realize what was happening, which lead to me easily taking a nice hold of their necks.
I tear them apart from each other, one to my left and the other to my right. I think I have an idea on how to kill both of them...
"Well well~ look at these two lovebirds doing their nesting togheter. I'm sorry, but cats always liked bird's meat, and last time I checked I'm somewhat of a cat, so how about we interrupt nesting and begin begging~? Lady, you looked like you were having lots of fun, so why don't I help you a bit~"
When I finish my sentence, I cut off the man's genital and quickly shove them into the woman's throat, making sure it goes down the wind pipe far enough to never again come out.
With a crying/screaming/cursing man and a choking woman in both tails, I feel truly content. How wonderful is it that I get to do all the things I wanted to do to those bastards to someone in the end? Although they're not the same people, as far as I care humanity is all the same. They're all boastful, prideful, arrogant, greedy, lustful bastards and I have no qualms killing all of them. I even feel disgusted just by once being the same race as them.
I also find it funny how I can do this to these bandits without reciprocation from the higher powers. Bandits are people who really are just trying to live a life which if you consider isn't that much different from adventurers, with bandits attacking humans and adventurers attacking monsters. They're both living beings, how come humans treat monsters with such high hostility? I've seen different types of monsters in the forest, and some are more honorable then humans.
After the woman finally dies, I kill the man by ripping out his heart. Yes, I like hearts, got a problem with that? They're the tastiest part of the body. It's chewy but at the same time juicy enough so you feel it but not enough like blood vessels or intestines that it just feels too bloody. Truly a delicacy. It's too bad people have only one heart...
I continue to kill the sleeping or nesting bandits. I gather their corses near the pitfire, while separating them in three piles, the weak which I'll just eat their hearts and leave the rest to some beast, the slightly strong whom I'm going to eat whole, and the last pile consists of the leader and two other people whom were stronger then most, arguably B-rank level, even if barely.
I also took the opportunity to gather all of their shiny stuff. I got a couple of pretty gems, a whole bunch of gold coins and silver coins, necklaces, rings and other jewelry. I stuffed it all into a bag I found. My only trouble is that I can't find any replacement for clothes that would look good on me or even just fit me. I stole a shirt from a woman and wore it. It wasn't as big as the coat i had, so my tails have less trouble with it, but it reveals a little of my tights, which I'm not comfortable with.
I spent the whole night ripping out hearts and wolfing them down. In the end, I only saved their heads as proof of subjugation and put them all in another bag somewhat like the money bag, only difference being the materials used, as the head bag somehow doesn't leak blood at all.
I decide to ignore the second bandit camp and simply run back to the town, where I hope to rank up to at least B or C rank with all of this. I might even be able to buy a house and employ a maid to cook stuff for me! Although it might be trouble explaining that my favourite dishes are various kinds of hearts, I'm shure I can find someone. That, or I just buy a slave to do it. I don't feel any sympathy for them, so I don't really care.
Well~ let's head to the adventurer's guild once again~!
