Formicea Chapter 105

(H)

"Ehk, I'm glad that you're satisfied." (E)

I know Honiu holds a fascination for novel things.

This trait might actually make her more favorable towards my plans as it will give her new experiences to satisfy her curiosity.

And that she takes a liking to the things she's confronted with is a good start.

And it's quite nice in this coach.

Even with a large table inside, this coach is so spacious that all four of us can stand up and move around comfortably.

Also, it's possible to dim the light with curtains, which is a rcy for our sensitive insect eyes.

And most importantly, it didn't turn out to be a very elaborate trap where suddenly the doors lock and sothing terrible happens to the passengers.

I checked it!

(H)

I need to admit that, obviously, considerable effort went into this construction.

Foremost, it's clear that it was custom-made.

Sothing one can already realize because of the fact that the seats leave space for our wings and ovipositors.

If I need to guess I'd say I have to thank Lord Jorad for this.

It's almost embarrassing that I forgot to ntion sothing as important as this.

The whole trip would've had to be canceled if we wouldn't be able to sit in here.

And that would've ant... flesh carriage.

Shivers.

"They made it specifically for us. One can see that they want to accommodate us as much as possible." (E)

(F)

I can literally feel mum's elation at being able to act like a wise teacher, all confident and superior, towards this problematic princess.

Honiu still has trouble believing her but at least we can cross the river without further interruptions.

Which, however, catch up with us as soon we did so.

"Plop"

Since Honiu was stressed and then gradually lost her tension, this induced a laying session.

Mum takes over incredibly professionally and leads the other nurses on to take the eggs.

Kyska partakes as well, but only in a way that she won't have to leave my side.

Following the leaving nurses with my gaze, I see that in their respective carriages they have sothing like a vessel where they store the eggs.

It's padded on the inside and seems to at least temporarily suffice to hold them.

Though I doubt that the journey is going to get so wild that the eggs will be in danger.

"Ehk, mum, do you want to leave your hands like that? Maybe soone has water so you can clean up." (E)

Albeit there's no filth, the eggs are still slimy and now it's all over her hands.

(F)

And so mum begins cleaning her hands with the liquid from her hands.

Which is just weird.

At least the knights look kinda grossed out at this most insightful display of Formicean culture.

The envoy shows understanding but I'm sure he grows annoyed at all the interruptions.

And then it happens.

"Plop"

Because this awkward situation tensed up, this ans now that it's over I'm the next one in line for a session.

Now it's Kyska's turn to attend to .

But different from her, mum has no issues leaving Honiu's side for .

Which grants her a slight scolding from Kyska about not leaving her princess once they're done.

I on my side am now more than embarrassed.

While I was hidden from sight in here everyone should know.

Even more, it's not a comforting thought to know that they're all aware that I'm being responsible for another forced break.

The nurses, anwhile, just put the new eggs with the others.

"Is it really okay to mix them like that?" (E)
