I'm the Only One With a Different Genre - Chapter 46
Chapter 46 – An Unusual Meal Can Cause Stomach Upset
“Bianca, if I’m any later, Iris will scold me. If it’s okay with you, could you please let me out now?”
In the midst of the chaotic situation, a politely phrased request echoed.
With a dazed expression, Bianca looked down at her stomach before reaching the same conclusion as before.
‘It must be a weird dream.’
With that thought, she lost consciousness.
***
‘Ah… where am I?’
Bianca found herself floating in a strange space. It was as if she was buoyantly drifting in water, or being swept by waves.
In this peculiar sensation, Bianca couldn’t actively look around or do much of anything.
She merely floated aimlessly, as if that were her sole purpose.
Then, something thick and damp licked across her face.
“Kyaaak!”
Startled, she opened her eyes wide to see what had licked her.
“Kehehik, kehek… Mistress.”
Bizarrely, her shadow stood on two legs (resembling sticks) with a reddened face, a threatening set of teeth, and a black tongue hanging out.
Bianca fainted again, overwhelmed by the hoarse yet cutesy voice resounding in her head.
‘Huh? Wasn’t I in a dream?’
How could she faint within a dream?
With that thought, she opened her eyes.
Chirp, chirp, chirp.
She was greeted by the sound of adorable birds and the sight of a clear blue sky.
“Here is…”
A lined stretch of pavement with towering buildings. She was in the place where Lian had lived in his past life.
Chirp, chlik, aaaaaah!
A sparrow making a cute sound suddenly opened its beak wide, and from within, a gun barrel protruded. From the barrel burst a blazing flame, then retreated back into the sparrow’s throat.
“Babe, really, just listen to me once. I swear, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Following the sparrow, another oddly long-antennaed sparrow flew by, speaking in a suggestive tone. This bizarre scene prompted Bianca to get up immediately.
“Wh-where is this?”
Her pupils dilated with confusion as she looked around. At that moment, the nearest electronics store TV blared with a shrieking broadcast.
[ Breaking news! What may appear to be a dragon or a green creature is actually a purple monster invading the city! ]
“What, what’s that?”
As Bianca felt bewildered by the sudden switch to a serious mood,
Boom!
A massive, pink-colored foot–enormous was the only way to describe it–landed beside her.
“Kyaaaaak!”
Her body flew up about three stories high before rolling on the ground.
“What, what is this – what’s happening!”
She screamed and started to run, none of the surrounding chaos making any sense.
…Yet, Bianca’s ordeal had only just begun.
***
“Gruk, erk… uhk…”
Bianca, having fainted, twisted and turned on the floor. White foam appeared at the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were rolled back.
T hi s w a s c opi e d f r o m ki n g m t l . or g
After convulsing and rolling on the ground for some time, she began to vomit with a — wretch — sound.
“Kuehk, kehek… kueeek…!”
The shadow connected to her writhed in discomfort before finally spitting something out.
Splat.
“Phew… That was close.”
Lian, covered in saliva, wiped his forehead and grinned.
“That was close. I almost got dissolved in Bianca’s stomach acids.”
Having been severed when swallowed, his body quickly regenerated, as it hadn’t been in the stomach for long, but escaping from within was a rather difficult task.
Luckily, his poking at the stomach walls seemed to have helped, as the shadow expelled him.
“By the way… are you okay?”
Lian cocked his head at the sight of Bianca drooling and unconscious, trying to lift her onto the sofa. But before he could reach it, she woke up with convulsions.
“Kyaaak!”
She screamed and fell off of him. Since she was close enough, she didn’t hit the floor but rolled onto the couch instead.
Pat, pat, pat.
She seemed to frantically scratch the sofa, as if trying to escape from something, and scurried into the corner.
T h i s w a s c o pi ed f rom k in g m t l. or g
Thud.
She fell to the floor with a loud noise but continued to crawl, ignoring the pain.
Instinctively, she realized that the terrible things happening to her were all due to Lian, who still possessed that dreadful power.
“Don’t, don’t come near me! I, I can’t take it anymore!”
In just a brief moment, she became so mentally broken that she crawled on the floor and wailed like a madwoman. I sniffed myself, my body still damp, frowning at the smell. It was the stench of the shadow’s saliva.
“Bianca, would it be alright if I took a shower before leaving? Iris has a habit of hugging me, and with the smell and my clothes being ruined, it’s going to be a little awkward.”
“Do whatever you want! Just please… please, go away…!”
Bianca, her face ghastly pale, pulled the curtain to cover her face. I nodded at her trembling form, pitiable in her distress.
“Thanks for letting me! I won’t be long!”
I assumed Bianca’s strange behavior was due to a stomach ache. Normally, I would have offered her some medicine, but after having been eaten by her pet, I had no inclination to do her any favors.
‘If it were a biting or chewing animal, I should have fitted it with a muzzle.’
Muttering to himself, Lian entered the luxurious bathroom. Peeling off his tattered clothes, he thoroughly enjoyed the delightful scent of shampoo and body wash in his bath.
‘Good.’
He sighed contentedly as he poured warm water over his body. With time being scarce, he had to forgo a dip in the large tub.
Quickly washing off, he stepped out, dried himself lightly, and donned a robe.
“Bianca?”
T h is w a s co p i e d f ro m k i n gm t l . o r g
She was nowhere in sight. Unable to just go down wearing the robe, he headed for the space she had shown him as the closet.
‘I’ll wash the clothes and return them later.’
He chuckled while sorting through the clothes that were too big or too small to fit her. She had told him it was the clothing of her disciples that she had kept out of nostalgia.
It seemed to be true, as the closet was full of clothes. He found something that fit his build. The design was the same as the slave clothes he usually wore, which he preferred. Changing outfits might cause Iris to worry.
‘This should be discrete enough.’
He felt the softer fabric of he had chosen and left the room.
‘I should tell her I borrowed her clothes, but she’s not here.’
Though he considered leaving a note, there was no pen or paper to be found, and with Iris likely waiting, he quietly left Bianca’s place.
Th i s w a s c o pi e d fr o m k i n gm tl .o r g
‘What if she’s crying?’
T h i s w a s co pi e d f r om k ing mt l. o r g
With an image of a sad-faced Iris in mind, he got into the elevator and descended. Back in Bianca’s house, in the innermost part of the master bedroom, a mumble continuously flowed.
“I’m scared I’m scared please stop this stop this stop this! I’m sorry, I’m really sorry!”
She completely lost her mind due to whatever occurred in her dream, resembling a malfunctioning robot.
“Sorry, sorry, sorry, I’m the one who’s sorry, so please, please – aaahh!”
She was quickly going insane. That was the result of carelessly consuming something strange.

Sniff, sniff, sniff.
“Ah, Iris?”
Sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff.
As I returned to the room, Iris pounced on me, tossed me on the sofa, and began to furiously smell me. She resembled a dog verifying the scent of its returning owner.
“Do I smell?”
“…You smell.”
“!”
Thump!
T h i s w a s c opi ed fr o m ki n g mt l. o rg
Shocked, my mouth dropped open as Iris flattened out on top of me with a deeply furrowed brow.
“What are you doing?”
Thi s w a s c op i e d f r o m k i ng m tl . o rg
“You, smell transfers.”
Iris said that while rubbing her face against my chest. Her cute antics made me chuckle.
T hi s w a s c o p i e d f r om k in g m tl .o r g
“Does the smell offend you?”
“…Yeah.”
She puckered her lips and nodded.
‘Thought the scent was quite nice, but Iris doesn’t seem to like it.’
Remembering the luxurious shampoo and body wash, I stroked Iris’s hair. After rubbing her head a few more times, she succumbed to the warmth and fell asleep.
“Ah… so sleepy.”
Feeling her high body temperature made my eyelids heavy. And like that, I drifted off to sleep.

As Lian embraced Iris, falling asleep, Totogen gnawed at his nails, murmuring to himself.
“This time, it should work, right?”
If dozens won’t do, then hundreds.
Totogen had spent a fortune ordering a large number of powerful monsters.
In the upcoming match, Lian would either be shattered into pieces or corrupted by the overwhelming power. Instead of eagerness, what Totogen felt was an anxiety that made his legs quiver.
The more one invests, the more one feels hopeful and fearful simultaneously—that was exactly Totogen’s state.
T h i s w as co p i e d fr om k ing m tl . o r g
‘If I fail again – no, no. It will definitely work!’
Days passed, and Lian was once again partaking in a match.
