The crowd, behind the monolith.

"Is that him?" Ellen, who had finally gotten here on the penultimate day, looked at the man on the stage. He'd had a meeting with the newborn queen a few days ago when he'd been at the top of the hill and watched that hot air balloon float past him.

Everyone around Ellen at the time had felt the Queen pass by, but not him.

Mutants had a very low ability to feel emotions, and it seemed that such a handicap carried over into a 'proximity instinct' for the Queen.

Having just learned of the Queen's appearance, Ellen had mixed emotions.

As a higher bug race, being freed from the curse of a thirty-year lifespan was certainly a good thing, but, from another perspective, it also completely destroyed the special nature of the Phantom Worm.

Phantom Bugs were historically common bugs, and their pheromones could lower wariness and hostility, so they were often the ones who became diplomats, traders, or lobbyists. But after entering the modern era, the status of Phantom Bugs changed drastically.

Except for a few Phantom Bugs that still utilized this affinity to become diplomats, psychiatrists, and salesmen ...... most Phantom Bugs took shortcuts and became 'lovers' of the powerful among the higher bug races.

For these bugs, the biggest charm of the charm bugs is to eliminate the pain generated by the shattering of the spiritual realm, but now the emotions that come from the society of family and friends, the works of all mediums, can achieve the same effect, or even better. And the fact that they could repair the cracks equaled a longer lifespan, and that was of the utmost importance.

Ellen knew very well that after coming out, not to mention those previous suitors, even ordinary people would not look at him differently.

And after seeing the Queen at the top of the mountain, his feelings became even more complicated. This term's contestants in the differentiation period, there is only 'Mai' one person, so ...... the queen, will it be Mai?

And did he mean revenge by making a wish like that?

Ellen had a lot of questions, but he just didn't dare to go up and question them.

Just as he had thought at first that Mai was not qualified to talk to him as an equal, he, now, was not qualified to talk to the Queen as an equal.

He couldn't protect himself, because he had dragged the Queen into being born in a crisis-ridden survival game, and that was a sin. Yet he could not blame or question it.

Because he knew very well that defending the class was defending his resources, so he had to defend the Queen's existence as well, whether he wanted to or not.

Thinking of this, he licked the corner of his mouth, if the queen is Mai ...... he is not willing.

Ever since he was little, he was better than Mai at everything, so why would Mai be the Queen?

"Ellen!"

Ellen turned his head, it was the woman in the group who had been so rude to him. This woman's middle class had no sense of smell, so there was no reaction to his pheromones.

"Wash the pot, it's your job." Everyone in their little group had their responsibilities, and Ellen didn't fight enough to do this type of support work.

"Where am I going to find water?"

The woman looked at him and snorted, "That's your problem, not mine."

Ellen had to take the dirty pot to find water, before he left his eyes shifted back to the newborn queen.

Was it even possible to eat dinner gracefully in this situation?
