I'm the Only One With a Different Genre - Chapter 11

Chapter 11 – Tentacles emerged, overpowering me.

‘Experiments… How many had I endured?’

I rolled my eyes to the upper right, sifting through my memories.

“Your body’s already fully healed… Did you undergo some separate experiment?”

“Uh, I’m not sure. I’ve been living like this since I was young.”

I had experienced it, in the world of comedy. But ever since I became possessed by this body, I hadn’t particularly been subjected to any notable experiments.

The question was whether the original owner of the body had been experimented on before I was possessed. That much I couldn’t tell, so I rubbed the back of my neck and admitted my uncertainty.

“Your wounds are already healed. Hmm, let’s make a superficial cut then.”

She took a knife from the trolley next to the experimental table and lightly slashed my palm. It stung a little.

“Does it hurt?”
“Just a slight sting?”
“…Do you feel the pain in a dull way?”

Mia murmured softly to herself while she dug into the flowing wound, which paradoxically made the bleeding slow.

“…??”

Mia, with eyes wide as saucers, stared at the wound defying all common sense as the blood slowly halted and the edges of the cut became exposed.

“What in the world..”

Flustered, Mia leaned in close with her palm against her reddened face. As her body came closer, something warm, soft, squishy…something nice rested upon my knees.

‘Yikes..’

I felt like a trembling spirit undergoing an exorcism, melting away.

“How can this be possible?”

She hastily dropped my hand, threw the knife onto the trolley, and then fiercely yanked open my shirt. Buttons flew off, slicing through the air and dropping to the floor.

“Aaaack!”

Just like a high school girl screaming at the sight of a man in a women’s changing room, I covered my chest and shrank away.

“Stay still!”

When she shouted and cast a light spell, a round hole appeared in the experimental table, and black tentacles sprang out and pinned me down.

Thump!

My upper body was flung back, and I was laid out on top of the experimental table. Tied up on top of the table, I trembled like a delicate girl. Mia, now with crazed eyes, picked up a new knife.

The blade quickly sliced through my stomach. Blood spurted out for a moment before stopping abruptly.

“My goodness…”

She gazed at my body in horror.

‘So exposed like that… I won’t ever be able to get married.’

Sobbing, I began to tear up, causing Mia to snap out of it belatedly and clear her throat quietly.

“I got too excited.”

Mia accurately stitched up my split belly. By the next day, the belly had cleanly recovered but left a scar.

The stitches should have been removed in time after the wound healed, but the scar healed too quickly and left marks.

‘I’ve accumulated a few scars from the subsequent experiments. But, does it really matter?’

With that thought, I nodded and felt my clothes being tugged, which brought me back to looking at Jess.

Jess already had a mistiness in her eyes as if she would burst into tears any moment.

“I, uh… It wasn’t that painful.”

As soon as I gave my answer, I heard gasps from those around us. I quickly started making excuses.

“Look. I look pretty healthy, don’t I! Unlike Odil, Mia is so kind that she never conducts painful experiments! Besides, most of the time, it’s just…er, now and then, and it’s mostly odd jobs.”

However, Jess’s expression did not seem to soften. Within a few days, her puffy cheeks began to stream with tears.

“Gasp…!”

Startled by Jess’s tears, I quickly scooped her up into my arms and sat her on my knee. Then, I wildly waved my arms, showing off my biceps.

“See, I’m really healthy! I can even swing my fists around like this…!”

Whoosh.

T h i s w a s c o p i e d fr o m kin g m tl . o rg
In my exaggerated movements, the sleeve slid up revealing a long scar from wrist to elbow, resembling a snake coiling around. It still looked slightly red as it hadn’t been there for long.

“Waaaah..!”
“…”
“Aaaaah!”
“Eeeek!”

Ultimately, Jess burst into tears and threw herself into my embrace. Soon after, other children of Jess’s age began to cry like dominos.

I quickly lowered my sleeve to cover the scars and said,

“Sorry, was that gross? I didn’t mean to scare you. I just wanted to show you that I’m fine…”

Do you know this? In the comedy world, the one who is marked ‘evil’ is usually ‘the one who makes a woman cry. Especially if you make a ‘beautiful woman’ or a ‘young child’ cry, you can’t escape going to prison.

Making a fuss to calm the children down is an unavoidable instinct!

“Kids, it’s okay. Stop.”
“Don’t cry..”
T h i s w as co p i ed fr o m k ing m tl .o r g

The children who weren’t crying tried to console those who were crying. It didn’t take long for the tears to cease.

With a sigh of relief, I patted Jess, who was wrapped in my arms. She breathed a congested breath and her shoulders heaved. Soon, her shuddering shoulders found calmness.

Just when I thought Jess had finally calmed down and tried to detach her,

Jess started fumbling over my body. The tickling sensation almost made me burst into laughter.

“Stop that, Jess -…”

Before I could even finish,

With a swoosh, Jess lifted my upper body and buried her face in it. I blinked rapidly with a bewildered face.

‘Do they like tight spaces like animals do…?’

That thought vanished as Jess’s body began to tremble again.

“Huhuhuk…!”
“Jess, what’s wrong…!”

I hurriedly pulled Jess from inside my shirt. Her face was now flushed red and she was sobbing uncontrollably. I wiped her face with my sleeve and then embraced her again.

“Jess, it hurts… sniffle, it hurts..”
“No, no, it doesn’t. Let’s stop the tears, stop.”

Despite my attempts to soothe her, Jess couldn’t easily halt her tears. When Jess started to sob truly sorrowfully, other children also looked at me with perplexed faces.

“What should we do, Noah? Jess keeps crying.”
“…”

Noah, who had been biting his lower lip until it turned white, sighed and stood up to approach me. Then spoke to the bitterly crying Jess.

“If you keep on crying like that, you’re going to make him troubled. Is that what you want?”
“No need to be so harsh -..”
“Huhuhu…”

Oh my gosh, such a Noah-mon!

After Noah had spoken, Jess stopped the tears and sniffled. I looked at Noah as if I was seeing a ‘childcare prodigy,’ feeling a touch of admiration.

“Noah, you should finish your meal too. Let’s separate now.”

Noah spoke colder than usual. Shouldn’t he speak with a bit more kindness? Just as I was about to say that, Jess wriggled and climbed down from my lap.

‘Pfft..’

Her eyes and cheeks had swollen like steamed buns, almost making me burst into laughter from cuteness. I swallowed dryly to hold back the giggle.

“Huff, hoo… Jess will protecc… youu..”
“Yeah, thanks for that.”

Her cute snub-nosed mumble as she firmly held onto my cloth elicited a cooing response from me. Then, Jess finally let go of my clothes and slipped off my legs.

Tododok.

After watching Jess return to her spot, I turned to Noah and thanked him.

“Thanks to you, we got through it well. If you want anything later, just say the word and I’ll consider it.”
“Anything?”
“As long as it’s something I can do, sure!”

“Really? Then… come with me after you eat.”
“…?”
T h i s w as c o p i e d f r o m k i n g m tl . o rg

What could it be? What does he want from me?

T h i s w a s c op i e d f r o m k i n gm t l . o r g
A sense of unease crept up, but I brushed it off as nothing serious and finished off the rest of my meal.

That day, the children made a fuss about wanting to wash the dishes and clean up, so I left the dining hall earlier than usual.

Thud.

“Let’s go.”
“Huh? Right now?”

No sooner had we left the dining hall than Noah grabbed my arm and dragged me away. I looked back, concerned whether Nero could be left alone, only to spot him happily helping other children of his age tidy up the dining hall.

Seeing this peaceful scene, a contented smile spread across my face.

‘That’s a relief. He’s adapting well.’

As Nero’s figure disappeared from my line of sight, I turned my gaze back to Noah. He was striding ahead without even looking back at me.

Keeping up with Noah’s pace, we quickly walked through the corridor and arrived at the dormitory. There were a series of rooms, each accommodating four people.

Noah pulled me into the room he shared with me and Nero. Because of the odd number of children, we ended up as a trio in one room.

Click, bang!

As soon as we entered, Noah shut the door behind us with rough movements.

Thump!

T h i s w a s c o p i e d f rom k in g mt l . o r g
Instantly, I was pushed back against the door. Noah fixed me with a fierce look and grabbed my clothes hem.

“Uh, Noah?”

Noah cut me off and briskly lifted my shirt.
