Reborn as an Evolving Space Monster: Harem Of Otherworldly Beauties Chapter 260 : Shroomed Rea?

"So!" Raya clapped her hands together before closing the distance separating her from Rea. "Will you be useful?"

"Huh? I… Uh… Tests? Do I… Really have to?"

"Yes, of course!" Raya shouted as her hands took hold of Rea's right hand. "It has to be tested!"

"Um… Uh… I guess… Well… For-"

"Science!"

"So it'll… Just be a high, right?"

"A huge one." Cero muttered.

"F-For how long?" Rea asked as she took a step back.

"Long enough for us to get interesting data!"

"B-But I need to be ready for departure and-"

"Don't worry, it'll be fine! We have an anti-high dicinal cure ready in the first place!"

'We do…?'

"F-Fuck you!" Rea stuttered as she cursed, taking a step back. "I let this useful talk confuse ! I'm not falling for it! You just want to be tripping balls!"

Raya rubbed her neck at the accusations.

"Listen, it's not so much that I want to see you tripping balls as it is about seeing how different compounds react on Species from different Galaxies. The truth is that -"

"STOP IT! I WANT ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR LONG MONOLOGUES WHERE YOU MAKE IT SEEM LIKE IT'S FOR SCIENCE!"

"Ugh, fine. Suit yourself." Raya turned away, dismissively swaying her hand. "Useless." She sighed. "I thought you would be perfect since I rember you spending a loot of ti talking about how you enjoyed the best illegal substances Wor had to offer. But I guess you're too chicken for this."

"Really?" Cero turned towards Raya. "Illegal substances, huh? I didn't think she would be into that."

"Well, I for one-"

"Shut up!" Rea interrupted, blushing heavily. "Just… Shut up, okay?"

Raya stared suspiciously.

She could count on the fingers of her right hand the number of tis she had seen Rea blush.

Could she be blushing because of the Paru's presence? No. If that were the cause, she would have blushed earlier.

Then what could it be?

"Oh… I get it." The Paru muttered as he slowly turned towards Raya.

It took only a mont for her to understand.

"Really… You think?"

"Looks like it, right?"

"It really does…" Raya whispered as she nodded.

"W-What are you whispering about? Raya. If you're making fun of , I will beat you up."

"Good luck with that, runt."

"R-Runt?! You're not particularly tall, you know?"

"Well, compared to you, I am."

Rea clenched her fists, obviously frustrated.

"So you won't do it?" Cero asked. "I've done it too, you know? Though it wasn't on purpose…"

"Oh, let her be." Raya sighed. "She won't. She's too young for such things. Even asking her to do it for the sake of the advancent of science, I don't feel comfortable with."

"W-What's that supposed to an?"

"Well, you're a liar." Raya shrugged. "You talk a big ga, but when it cos to it, well… You've never done anything of the sort, have you?"

"S-S-Sure have! I tried um… You know… All of that! With the… Mushrooms and the… Herbs… And the… Uh… Powders."

"Oh." Raya exclaid, hand on chin. "Now that I think about it, you talked about this when Max was around. He was into partying and shit, wasn't he? Well, before… Anyways, were you trying to Navigate him? Is that why you-"

Ignoring Raya completely… Or rather, trying to ignore Raya, Rea took hold of one of the cut-off and cleaned up pieces of the creature, and ingested it.

"Well…" Raya rubbed her forehead. "That was fucking stupid."

"Huh? Why?!"

"We were…" Raya slowly turned towards Cero who seed just as shocked.

"We were just fucking with you." The Paru muttered.

"Yeah, well…" Rea felt so embarrassed she could explode. "Fuck with this! If sothing happens to while I'm high, you'll all be stuck on Tyl forever! Or Roka will make all of your asses crash! Take that, suckers!"

'I'm really not sure who the sucker here is but… Fuck, she's kind of right!'

Raya and Cero stared at one another, each with narrow eyes as if saying -This is your fault-.

"So? What are we going to do about this?" Raya asked him.

"Don't know. just wait for it to pass, I guess."

"Can't you make an antidote or sothing?"

"What makes you think that?"

"Don't know. Since you've eaten them." Raya shrugged.

"I should be the one asking actually. Can't you make one?"

"No. I an... Just started testing so..." Raya sigehd. "Might as well enjoy this, I guess."

"Yes. Rea is pretty chaotic, so seeing her act under hallucinations will definitely be entertaining."

"True. Too bad we won't be able to see what her cursed mind conjured up."

"Right... She was bored and wanted to be entertained. Now she beca entertainnt-"

"DON'T TALK LIKE I'M NOT HERE, ALRIGHT?! IT MAKES FEEL LIKE A GODDAMN GHOST! I'M NOT DYING HERE, AM I?"

"Well..." Both Cero and Raya turned towards one another again. "We really can't say."

"WHY THE HELL NOT?! JUST SAY THAT I'M NOT GOING TO! WHY ARE YOU TWO SO CRUEL?!" Rea suddenly turned away from them, and lowered her fist against one of the lab's desks. "Fuck!" She cursed.

anwhile, Raya and Cero stared at one another.

Why are you two so cruel?

The situation and question reminded them of their ti outside of the spaceship, the night before.

Cero's lips curled upwards, and Raya started blushing. Her gaze slowly t the ground.

They had poisoned a Granilith and watched it die.

Reminded of their ti together the night before, the two instantly started feeling-

"WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!" Rea shouted, absolutely freaking out despite feeling none of the effects of what she had ingested.

The Paru turned towards Raya, and she turned towards him.

He pointed at her, then at himself.

She stared for a mont, gulped, and pointed at herself.

Cero placed the creature inside a very strange cage. He didn't fully understand how it worked, but it would keep the creature from using its cloud of spores.

He turned towards Rea. The next mont, she was on her shoulder.

"W-What?"
