Ignoring the giant inside the room, the bigger tubes seemed to all originate from the large creature as they all disappeared underneath her, which I assume must mean it was connected to its back or something.
So that thing was most likely being fed through those tubes and also spawning more of those creatures somehow.
"So... Why is this guy the only one who isnât in one of these egg sacs?" I whispered.
Ries leaned over to me, "I think thatâs the original guy, Boss... The one who gathered everyone here..."
"What? So heâs like the progenitor or something?"
"Most likely... And that big sized one might be the original creature he found on the rock..."
"Donât suppose we can just talk him out of it?"
Right as I asked that, the Zwerger that was humping away at the creature let out a loud groan and convulsed, clearly also experiencing an orgasm.
How he even got pleasure from that was beyond me but what caught my attention was the fact that the large creature started to move right after that.
It picked up the Zwerger in between its legs to place on its chest and the hole at her crotch started to quiver before a human sized hand pushed itself out from it.
It used the sides of its hole as leverage to pull itself out and one of those smaller creatures emerged from it, pulling itself out of its âmotherâ.
As though that wasnât enough, even more hands thrust out of the hole and a total of four of those creatures were âbirthedâ.
The only difference was that all of them were featureless and only had the shape of a human, almost like the creature that we saw on the camera in the security room if you were to ignore the fact that their limbs look normal.
And it looks like they were already fully formed as adults as they quickly stood up on their own and were even able to walk around just a short moment after climbing out...
Also... Unlike the other Zwergers that were kept inside those egg sacs outside, this guy seemed to be free to move around without any restrictions.
I know that because he crawled over to one of the creatureâs teats and began suckling on it and the creature only cooed at him softly.
The smaller creatures then started climbing up the larger oneâs body and it looked like they were converging on the Zwerger.
He detached himself from the larger creatureâs teat to kiss the faceless head of one of the creatures.
That was when the transformation happened as the creature that he was kissing began to shift as hair flowed out of its head and the body morphed to form a curvaceous figure as well as facial features.
Mara hummed, "How interesting... So itâs that type of creature. I would very much like to study this one."
I turned to her, "What? What the heck is that thing?"
"As I said, there are creatures that rely on mating with other species in order to procreate, yes? This one seems to be the type that has a matron and a patron. The matron produces the young and both the matron and the young will change themselves to be attractive to the patron in order to incentivise the patron to mate with them."
I blinked, "Ok... First of all... Thereâs such creatures just... Floating around out in space? Wouldnât that be a problem or something?"
Mara nodded, "They arenât exactly common but theyâre not rare either. Although they are also treated as pests since they would usually also draw in more victims and form a nest that would parasitise the area that they have decided to settle down in. And usually that is in places that have people living in them so they would need to be cleared out."
I looked behind us where the entire room was turned into some kind of milking facility for this creature to extract semen from these Zwergers.
"Yeah... I can see that..." I muttered.
Mara followed my gaze and smiled, "This is one of the more extreme cases, though I suspect itâs more of a problem of the host than the creatureâs nature... Considering that despite being held here for at least a week, none of these Zwergers even look like they are starving or just being kept barely alive... It should be the type of creature that tries not to harm their hosts and would even keep its victims alive. I do not think it is naturally the type to spread this far because of that. Perhaps... Under normal circumstances, it might only take up a bedroom at most as a nest."
"Wait... Are you telling me that it only got to this level because that Zwerger wanted it to?"
She nodded, "Thatâs exactly what Iâm suggesting."
"So the creature is obeying that Zwerger and creating this nest or something?"
Mara turned her gaze towards the Zwerger in question and narrowed her eyes. It took me a moment to realise that she was reading his thoughts.
"It seems like... This guy has a very big fetish for women that are bigger in size than he is... And he wants to have a harem of them... That desire must have spilled to the creature and in order to remain attractive to him, it decided that it had to form a nest to gather the required materials it needed to give him what he wanted."
"And Iâm going to assume the materials it needed were semen..."
"I would assume so... With how it gathered so many of them."
"Oh, it definitely is the case, Daddy~" Renata commented as a matter of factly. "If youâre curious, the way that itâs keeping these Zwergers alive is through recycling their waste and feeding it back to them. It certainly wonât keep them alive forever but it would sustain them for at least a few months at the very least. Although if it has access to organic materials, it would be able to convert that to sustain its victims too~"
All of us turned to her to stare at the eldritch maid.
"How did you know that?" Yumiko asked.
Renata tilted her head, "I ate one earlier, didnât I? I learned how it species functions from that~"
Oh right... I actually forgot about that... Ok, thatâs half a lie, I just didnât want to remember it to begin with...
"Putting that aside... I find it weird that these creatures would adopt a humanâs figure instead of just a larger sized Zwerger instead if this guyâs fetish was larger females..." I pointed out.
Ambere turned to me, "Did you forget, Tera? These people once saw humans as divine. Most of them actually harbour deep yearning for being able to sleep with a human."
"Really? Are you talking for both females and males?"
"Mmhmm~ Didnât you hear what one of them said earlier? They found you really attractive~"
No, no, he was clearly referring to you girls... That guy wasnât even looking at me when he said that.
Our thoughts were interrupted when a rumble came from within the room and we were reminded that we werenât alone.
I turned back to look inside and it seemed like those newly created creatures had finished their transformation and now possessed the traits of an attractive human female according to that Zwergerâs preference.
Which brought a question...
"What do we do here? Do we just go in guns blazing? Kill the creatures and then capture that guy? Is he being controlled by the creature as well or is the one in control the Zwerger himself?"
Mara pointed at the Zwerger, "Heâs the mastermind behind everything, including pointing out the security cameras at each part of the station so that he could direct the creature to destroy them."
I made a face at her, "So that means this guy is actually the one behind all this huh? He really screwed over the entire station just to sate his lust?"
"Pretty much."
I let out a sigh, "I guess we should just clean this up then... Weâll capture him and if the creature attacks, weâll retaliate. If the creature doesnât... Maybe see if we can get it to free all the Zwergers."
The girls nodded and we stepped into the room, announcing our presence with a cough.
The Zwerger immediately swivelled around to look at us in a panic while the creatures didnât even react to us and continued to gaze at the Zwerger instead.
"W... What? Oh! Did you evolve again?! Oh wow!! You even managed to create clothes and items this time?!! And you even managed to transform into different races?! This is awesome!! The white haired one is the best!! Come over here and lay down!! I want to try you out now!!"
...
Oh no... He thinks that we are the offsprings of that creature... This guy really just thinks with his crotch huh? How did he even get hired for this job?
