## Chapter 16.2 – The Internal Work of the Ghoul
The internal work of the Ghoul:
Gugugugu…
A loud sound came from my stomach.
I was hungry.
Ah~ I’m so hungry~
Class is already over, why haven’t they let us go yet? This is just too much…
Teacher Xiaozhen, who is petite, was still speaking at the front. It was still the same old safety issues that I had heard countless times before, but she kept babbling on… No one in this class is going to get into danger, right?
If I had to explain why, it’s because they themselves are all ‘dangerous individuals’… Well, of course, I’m not a dangerous individual. I’m just a harmless ghoul~ Hehe~
“Okay, that’s the end of the safety issues. Tonight’s evening study session is canceled, and we will enter a three-day Qingming holiday starting today…”
“Oh oh oh!” xN
Before Teacher Xiaozhen could finish, an uproar broke out around me. This group of guys only gets particularly united at times like these, their voices perfectly synchronized.
I had no interest in joining the ruckus, so I rested my chin on my desk, weakly rummaging through my pockets.
There were still two chocolate bars and a lollipop, but I couldn’t eat them right now. If I did, I wouldn’t have anything to eat until dinner tonight…
Today is Saturday, a workday, so I can’t have dinner. I have to save space in my stomach until the evening.
Then, Teacher Xiaozhen announced that we would take turns in releasing homework, and an immediate chorus of despair filled the room.
Ugh, this is bad. I have work to do tonight. I wonder if I can stay home from nine to midnight…
Ah~ So troublesome… It looks like I’ll have to finish my work early and head back.
After Teacher Xiaozhen announced freedom, Nana immediately bounced over to me with a proposal.
“Xun Xun~ Since there’s no evening study session tonight, let’s go eat spicy crayfish!”
I knew she was coming over to invite me out to eat. Last week, I accompanied her for cheese ribs.
As a ghoul, I naturally have a big appetite, which is no problem for me… But Nana, isn’t she a zombie? Do zombies have such big appetites?
Could she have mutated?
I heard that some mutated zombies possess special abilities. Nana is one of the rare awakened zombies who still has her wits about her, so it wouldn’t be too surprising if she had some abilities.
Even though I really wanted to go, I couldn’t have dinner today…
“I can’t go today; I need to save my stomach.”
“Oh? Ah, I remembered! You have to work on the weekend, right? What a pity! Then I’ll have to find someone else.”
Even though Nana knows I’m a ghoul, she still wants to be close to me, her so-called ‘natural enemy.’ I don’t even know what to say about her.
Well, after all, Nana is kind of an idiot! Hehe~
“Then Kaede, let’s go eat together, okay?”
Seeing that I couldn’t go with her, Nana turned to the person sitting in front of me.
The tall girl with an impressive figure, Kaede Inoue, turned her head, looking confused.
“No, don’t tempt me! I’m currently on a diet!”
Kaede came from Japan, just like me, but she’s not a native Japanese ghost; she’s an ogre.
Roughly speaking, she’s a type of demon.
But I heard that Kaede’s mother is a famous red ogre from Japan, so she’s a mix of ghost and demon? I wonder if she has a real name; hybrids probably don’t have real names, right?
After all, ogres and red ogres look very similar; the difference is just in skin color… Yet, Kaede has inherited characteristics from both, and her ‘chubby’ figure really rivals that of a succubus!
Ugh, dieting…! Where does she even need to lose weight? Is it the fat on her chest? Or the extra flesh on her backside?
That’s unfair! Those assets are too unfair!
In a fit of anger, I stood up and moved in front of Kaede, grabbing both of her breasts fiercely.
“Yiya! Eh eh eh?! Wh-what are you doing, Xun’er?!”
As I squeezed, I looked up at Kaede’s expression and was shocked to find that her chest was blocking my view of her face!
Wow! How could this be!!! Is this a bamboo shoot? Or a mountain? It’s insurmountable…!
Ugh…! Look at me crush it!
“Ouch, too hard! I’m getting mad!”
Why don’t I have that kind of figure?! Is it because I’m a ghoul? Does my birth determine my figure?
That’s just unfair!
I kept squeezing, and then I pinched! Wait, isn’t this essentially giving her a massage? Don’t get any bigger, you shameless assets!
“Ah haha… Kaede, you wouldn’t understand the feelings of me and Xun Xun, especially not me; I will never grow up in this lifetime…”
Even Nana, who is usually energetic, had a negative expression, touching her own barely passable chest, as she lamented… Ah, she is already dead.
But at least she has an ordinary size. As for me… wuwuwu… I’ve been eating for hundreds of years, and yet my chest is still so small… Where does all the nourishment go…? So wronged…
“So, Kaede, you should accompany me to eat! Consider it compensation for the blows to me and Xun Xun!”
“I-I will not! I have to control my diet!”
“Yay~ Please! If you don’t go, I won’t have anyone to eat with!”
“Don’t you have a boyfriend? The one named Gou or whatever… Why don’t you just take him to eat?”
“Ah? Are you talking about little Gou? He’s not my boyfriend! We’re just partners! Besides, every time I sneak out to eat, he gives me the stink eye! Let alone inviting him to eat! Ugh, stingy!”
She’s probably talking about Gou Xiawen, that rookie little zombie who’s still not a big deal.
But it seems that the lord intends to cultivate him, so he might achieve something in the future.
“Then it’s only you who can go with me to eat!”
“But…”
Kaede was still hesitating, but surely she would give in to Nana in a moment.
There’s no way she can resist the temptation of food, especially with the blood of both an ogre and a red ogre; her appetite must be doubled. How could she possibly resist the allure of delicacies?
If I had to say it, of the three foodies, Kaede likely eats the most. If she gets a boyfriend, who knows, she might just eat him into bankruptcy, hehe…
Sure enough, after a bit of coaxing from Nana, Kaede couldn’t resist the temptation and agreed to go eat spicy crayfish with her.
After we exited the school gate, I said my goodbyes and headed back to my place.
I took out my keys to unlock the door, and as I walked into the entrance, I hadn’t even closed the door or taken off my shoes when a drunk and scantily dressed woman came lunging at me.
This outfit was just way too revealing… How to describe it? Oh, right, it’s like a bunny girl outfit, but all the black parts were gone. She wore only a semi-transparent bodysuit that exposed a large portion of her stomach. Around her waist was just a decorative belt, and while her important parts were covered up… Well, with heart-shaped pasties and a C-string, this could hardly be called ‘cooling off.’ Even a prostitute wouldn’t dress like this.
Hmm, probably only a crazy designer would create such a costume.
Yes, I’m talking about my roommate standing in front of me who must have had her head caught in the door.
“Ah~ Dear Xun’er~ You’re finally back~”
“You’re actually home? That’s quite rare! You got back even earlier than I did.”
I hurried to shut the door. While this shameless woman didn’t care at all, I couldn’t let anyone see her in such a disgraceful state.
Her wide wings were folded behind her back, and the horns sticking out of her forehead, with her long, dark hair brushed
