Encroachment

It’s noon the day after bringing the brain-parasitic tentacles to Lucy’s house.

Catherine, a close friend of Lucy’s, came to her shop.

Catherine was a girl with orange hair tied in pigtails and freckles on her face.

Today, Catherine came to chat with Lucy.

They greeted each other happily.

“Lucy. Hi!”

“Catherine. Welcome!”

Catherine asked Lucy how she’d been.

“Is the shop doing well these days?”

“It’s doing okay. I wish more people would come. Why don’t they know the value of my potions? Heuk.”

Lucy pretended to cry as a joke, and Catherine, pretending to comfort her, said with an excited face.

“Minji’s bakery developed a new bread today, so I bought some!”

“What is it? What is it?”

“It’s called Horned Rabbit Bread. The outside is shaped like a horned rabbit, savory and crispy, and the inside is sweet with syrup.”

“I thought the bakery ajumma and ajusshi had been developing various things since a week ago. You bought it right away as soon as it came out!”

“The ajumma there kept calling me, so I had no choice but to buy it. But after I left, the line got incredibly long.”

“Haha. You were lucky?”

“Of course!”

“Do you have any for me?”

“I bought it to eat with you.”

“Oh. Thanks! Come up to the second floor!”

Lucy took Catherine to the dining table on the second floor and prepared plates and milk.

Catherine took a big gulp of milk and said with a refreshed face.

“Kyaaaa! So refreshing.”

“I made it cold with magic.”

“I’m glad I came here. As expected, people who are good at magic are different no matter what they do. If it were at other kids’ houses, they would have just brought bland water.”

“Well, I learned it, so I have to use it to live comfortably.”

“But, Lu…cy….”

Kuoong.

Catherine hit her head on the table and collapsed.

In Lucy’s eyes, which were overflowing with friendship and joy just a moment ago, there was no sense of intimacy or liking now.

Lucy was looking at Catherine as if she were just a tool.

Lucy sent a telepathic message to Kyle.

– [Kyle! I caught one. Come out!]

– [I’m going.]

I, Kyle (Kim Cheol-soo), came out of Lucy’s room and went to the table.

I praised Lucy noona.

“Noona. Good job.”

As a reward for doing well, I fondled Lucy noona’s butt with my tentacle leg.

Lucy noona smiled happily.

“Hehe. I’m happy that Kyle is fondling my butt! Can I put a tentacle soldier in here now?”

“Yeah. I brought a tentacle soldier, so if you put it up to her nose, it will go in on its own.”

Lucy noona took the brain-parasitic tentacle in her hand and placed it in front of Catherine’s nostril, and the tentacle soldier went into her nose on its own.

Lucy noona asked me.

“Now that it’s in, should I wake her up?”

“Yeah. It should be settled in her brain now.”

Lucy noona sprinkled a special powder on Catherine’s tongue, and Catherine opened her eyes wide.

“Kyle. Did this work out well?”

“Yeah. Feel it through the tentacle mental network. The tentacle soldier is still alive and in her brain.”

“Really? Hey, say anything.”

Catherine greeted.

“Hello, Queen-nim.”

“Oh my! She even knows how to flatter me.”

“Noona. I think it worked out well? Now you are our subordinate number one.”

Catherine flattered again.

“It’s an honor, Master-nim.”

“Kyle. But why does she talk like this?”

“The tentacle soldier can only do what’s contained in Catherine’s brain. She’s doing it according to Catherine’s original habits.”

“Hmm…. It’s good because she’s lively.”

I taught Catherine what to do in the future.

“From now on, you have to live like the usual Catherine so that no one notices. And you have to increase our allies little by little.”

“How do I increase them?”

“Lucy noona will give you sleeping pills and tentacle soldier comrades, and then you put your comrades on the noses of people close to you after putting them to sleep.”

“Ah. I understand!”

“You must not get caught by anyone, and you must not rush. And never touch anyone with strong force.”

“Yes~!”

“Come back and get more when you run out.”

“I understand! Queen-nim! Give me sleeping pills and friends~!”

“Okay.”

Catherine received one pouch each containing sleeping pills and tentacle soldiers.

Catherine was smiling brightly.

Catherine went down to the first floor, waved her hand, and said goodbye.

“Then I’ll be going! I’ll start with this host’s family!”

Lucy noona waved her hand, and I waved my tentacle leg.

“Goodbye~!”

“Bye-bye~”

Lucy noona said to me.

“Kyle. If it’s like that, I don’t think anyone will know?”

“Maybe people who aren’t interested won’t feel any sense of incongruity.”

“There’s no sense of incongruity at all?”

“She’s imitating the host’s ego. So, she’s just moving the facial muscles that the host mainly uses when saying certain words or actions to make expressions. If you look really closely, you probably won’t feel any emotion.”

“Still, when she called me Queen-nim, it seemed like she really respected me?”

“At least respecting and worshiping noona and me is real, separate from the host’s ego. Still, it will be difficult for someone who isn’t as close to the host as family to notice the incongruity.”

“Hmm. I see. But am I really a Queen-nim?”

“If I unify this continent, noona is the Queen.”

“Hehehe. I love you, Kyle! I’ll work harder.”

“Noona is already working hard. In that sense, how about a round of sex tonight?”

“Ah, okay.”

After that, Lucy and Kyle went to their acquaintances’ houses, put them all to sleep with drugs, and infected them with brain-parasitic tentacles.

The subordinates also went to their acquaintances and infected them in a similar way.

The tentacle soldiers spread quietly through Bradon Village like an epidemic, and about three months passed like that.

——————–

Village Chief Edgar was a 64-year-old man who lived in a large house in front of the village square.

He had some white hair and a white beard, but he ate well and lived well, so his body wasn’t bent and he had a moderate amount of flesh.

Edgar had a vile smile and a well-functioning brain, like some politicians on Earth, and he liked to enjoy his power.

Edgar consolidated his power even further by marrying his daughter to Winston, the village’s guard captain.

Edgar’s only suffering was his wayward and reckless youngest son, Nikolai.

He had Nikolai late in life and raised him indulgently as the youngest, so he had no ability, was weak, and grew up spoiled, hanging out with bad friends.

When Edgar told Nikolai to swing his sword 500 times, he disappeared in the middle.

Edgar sighed.

“Huu…. Where did this bastard go after I told him to swing his sword 500 times? He probably went to harass weak kids with his bad friends again.”

Edgar had settled with countless people because of Nikolai, and his reputation was gradually being tarnished.

Edgar shook off his throbbing head, thinking that he would definitely beat Nikolai when he came.

Edgar went to his mistress, Mrs. Esperanza’s house to meet her.

Esperanza was a 48-year-old woman, but she looked like she was in her late 30s because she took good care of her beauty.

Edgar thought.

‘Let’s meet Esperanza and forget about Nikolai.’

Edgar thought that if he was in a good mood today, he might forgive Nikolai.

Nikolai knocked on the door of Esperanza’s house, and the lady’s seductive voice flowed out.

“Who is it~?”

“It’s me.”

“Oh, our oppa is here. Come in.”

Esperanza opened the door.

Esperanza was wearing a see-through one-piece lingerie with thin apricot-colored bikini underwear, and the dark spots in the part where her pussy was were all visible.

She knew it was Edgar and came out like this on purpose.

Edgar wanted to stick it in this woman’s pussy right away.

Edgar hugged Esperanza, fondled her butt, and said.

“I came to see our cutie. Oppa missed you a lot.”

Esperanza didn’t avoid it, felt Edgar’s touch, and opened her mouth with a seductive look.

“Come here. But you came empty-handed?”

“No. I brought a gift here too. Gold coins that shine as brightly as you.”

In fact, it was almost like a sponsorship, but Edgar made it sound plausible.

Esperanza said with a bright face.

“Oh my! How did you know I like gold coins?”

Esperanza kissed Edgar and led him to the bedroom.

Edgar’s dick was hard and about to explode.

“Oppa. I’ll go make some coffee for a moment. Wait for me.”

“Hurry up. I don’t want to wait.”

“I’ll make you the best coffee. Please~”

Esperanza acted cute, and Edgar patted Esperanza’s butt as if he couldn’t help it and told her to go.

Edgar waited for a few minutes, singing in his heart, and Esperanza brought warm coffee.

“Oppa. I put some herbs in here that are supposed to be really good for stamina, so you have to drink it all.”

“Okay. Give it to me. I’ll show you the best pleasure today.”

Edgar downed the coffee in one shot and lost consciousness.

——————–

When Edgar opened his eyes, he was tied to a chair in the basement of Esperanza’s house.

In front of Edgar were Esperanza, a young lady who ran a potion shop, and a tentacle monster.

Esperanza said to me.

“Master-nim. I have brought him here.”

“Good job.”

Edgar couldn’t speak because he had a gag in his mouth.

“Eup! Eup!”

I instructed Esperanza.

“Take out the gag first.”

“Yes, Master-nim.”

When Esperanza took out the gag, Edgar shouted with an angry face.

“You crazy bitch! How much gold did I give you to treat me like this? I’m the village chief. I’m the village chief!”

“Yeah.”

“You’re all dead. It’s not even a big deal for me to get rid of you if I just use my power!”

“Okay.”

“If Winston finds out about this, he’ll grind you all up. If you let me go now, I’ll pretend I don’t know and forgive you.”

“No.”

Esperanza only answered in monosyllables without any emotion on her face.

Then the tentacle monster tapped its tentacle legs to change the atmosphere.

Clap clap

The tentacle monster said to Edgar.

“Hmm. Hmm. The reason I put you here is because I like your abilities and wanted to give you baptism.”

Edgar said with a dumbfounded expression.

“What is it? This crazy tentacle monster.”

Then Esperanza slapped Edgar’s cheek with her palm with maximum force, and Edgar’s head turned with a smack.

This time, Edgar was slapped on the opposite cheek with a smack, and his head turned.

Esperanza slapped Edgar’s cheeks until his gums burst.

Slap slap slap slap

Edgar’s cheeks were torn and he coughed up blood.

“Cough. Cough.”

I stopped Esperanza.

“Esperanza. Stop now.”

“Yes, Master-nim.”

Esperanza stopped slapping, but her eyes were burning with anger.

Edgar had never seen Esperanza like that before.

Esperanza threatened Edgar with a fierce face.

“Oppa. It’s okay to curse at me, but if you curse at Master-nim, you’re dead to me.”

The one in front of him was Esperanza, but it wasn’t the Esperanza he knew.

Edgar shuddered.

Edgar realized that these guys were no ordinary guys and opened his mouth as if he were obeying.

He didn’t know why, but he thought that little tentacle monster was the boss, so he spoke to it.

“Cough. What business does the honorable one have with me?”

“I’m going to make you one of us.”

“How can I help you?”

“Just receive my baptism and shout sincerely that you will become one of us.”

“I will receive baptism.”

Edgar thought that if he was baptized and released, he would bury them all alive in the ground.

The tentacle monster looked at the air for a moment and then said.

“I don’t think you shouted sincerely? I have to start with torture first. You will only be released if you shout sincerely.”

“Yes?”

———————-

Edgar really had no integrity.

Esperanza inserted nails between Edgar’s fingernails and fingers, and he shouted sincerely on the third one.

Thanks to Lucy noona, I had 424pt, and this time I used 200pt to make Edgar a variant.

After the mutation was over, Edgar expressed his gratitude in a polite tone.

“Master-nim. Thank you so much for taking me in as your subordinate.”

[Named Tentacle Hero Edgar.

Description: Acidic Poison Tentacle, Humanoid Mimicry]

Kyle could see Edgar’s description.

Mimicry is a way for animals to adapt to the environment by imitating other animals or their surroundings.

Edgar looked no different on the outside, but on the inside, he was full of tentacles that could spray acidic poison.

I ordered Edgar.

“Edgar. Show me your true form.”

“I understand.”

Edgar split in half from his head to his stomach and opened up, and brown, bumpy tentacles stretched out from inside, glistening with green and yellow mucus.

The clothes Edgar was wearing melted away as soon as they touched the tentacles.

The ends of the tentacles looked like closed flower buds, and they could spray acidic poison from there.

Fortunately, Edgar didn’t melt his pants, so my eyes didn’t rot.

I ordered.

“Go back.”

Edgar returned to his original human form.

The mucus that splashed on Edgar’s skin was also sucked into his skin.

I asked.

“How do you feel?”

Edgar thought for a moment and then said with a vile smile.

“Today is the best day of my life.”

“What do you think of Esperanza? Do you want to take revenge?”

“Revenge? I’m so grateful for giving me this opportunity.”

Edgar’s eyes were really full of affection when he looked at Esperanza.

“Edgar. As a celebration of you becoming my subordinate, I’m going to give you Esperanza as a gift. What do you think?”

Edgar looked at Esperanza with lustful eyes, knelt down to me, and bowed.

“Thank you, Master-nim.”

I ordered Esperanza.

“Esperanza. From now on, you will go under Edgar and follow what Edgar tells you to do.”

“Yes.”

Esperanza bowed to Edgar and said.

“Oppa. I’ll take good care of you from now on~ I’m so happy that someone like me can become a subordinate of the Tentacle Hero-nim!”

Edgar got up and whispered in Esperanza’s ear.

“Tentacles have infinite stamina and semen. And there’s no acid or poison in the semen, so don’t worry.”

“Hic!”

I was curious because the two of them were whispering, so I asked.

“What are you two whispering about?”

“It was a sexual story. Hahaha.”

“……”

I can raise the rank of the tentacle soldiers to evolve them into stronger and more self-assured individuals.

I said words to encourage Esperanza’s work ethic.

“If you take good care of Edgar and help me, I will raise your tentacle rank.”

“Ah. I’ll work hard!”

That’s how the day ended, gaining Edgar, an important figure in the village.

Edgar is vile and smart, so he can be said to be the brain of the tentacle army.

I told Edgar about the current situation and future plans.

Edgar said that the next target should be Guard Captain Winston.

The four of us, me, Lucy noona, Edgar, and Esperanza, made a plan to attack Winston in the basement.
