I’m the Only One With a Different Genre

11 – Tentacles sprung out and subdued me.

“Experiments… How many times have I done them?”

I rolled my eyes upward, probing my memory.

“It’s already healed completely… Did you undergo any experiments separately?”

“Um, I don’t know. I’ve been in this situation since I was young.”

I’ve been through it. In the world of comedy. But since I took over this body, I haven’t undergone any particular experiments.

The question is whether the original owner of this body underwent experiments before I took over. I couldn’t know that, so I scratched the back of my neck and said I didn’t know.

“The wounds are already healed. Well, then, let’s lightly inflict a wound.”

She picked up a knife from the trolley next to the experimental table and grabbed my hand, lightly cutting the palm. It stung.

“Does it hurt?”

“A little sting?”

“…Do you feel the pain faintly?”

Mia muttered softly and agitated the bleeding wound. Surprisingly, as the blood flowed, the bleeding decreased.

“…??”

Wide-eyed, Mia looked down at the wound, a scene that overturned all common sense in this world. As the blood gradually stopped, the cross-section of the wound was revealed.

“What, what is this…”

Excited, Mia blushed and brought her face close to her palm. As her body approached, something warm, cozy, and… soft, in any case, something good, pressed against my knees.

‘Oh no…’

My body was melting away like an evil spirit being exorcised.

“How is this possible?”

She urgently let go of my hand, threw the knife onto the trolley, and forcefully opened my shirt. Buttons flew off, cutting through the air and falling to the ground.

“Kyaa!”

I covered my chest, crouching and curling up like a high school girl screaming at a man entering the women’s changing room.

“Stay still!”

She shouted, and as she lightly used magic, a round hole appeared in the experimental table, and suddenly tentacles shot out, subduing me.

Thud!

My upper body fell backward onto the experimental table. Bound to the table, I shivered like a delicate girl. Mia, with her eyes rolled back, raised a new knife.

The knife quickly cut into my abdomen. Blood spurted for a moment and then stopped.

“Incredible…”

She looked down at my body with an astonished expression.

“Well, if you put it so plainly… I can’t get married.”

Sobbing, Mia belatedly regained her composure and let out a light, forced cough.

“You got too excited.”

Mia skillfully stitched up my torn stomach. The next day, the wound had healed neatly, but a scar remained.

I should have removed the bullet from the wound promptly, but it healed too quickly, leaving a trace.

“After a few more experiments, there are a few scars left. Well, it doesn’t matter.”

Thinking so, I nodded my head and looked back at Jess when I felt a tug on my clothes.

Jess, now, had moisture in her eyes as if she could shed tears at any moment.

“Well, it didn’t hurt that much,” I replied, and the sound of suppressed breaths echoed around us. I immediately began making excuses.

“Look, she looks incredibly healthy! Unlike Odil, Mia never does painful experiments like that! Most of the time, it’s just mundane tasks.”

But Jess’s expression showed no sign of easing. Tears started to flow down her swollen cheeks in drops over the past few days.

“Oh…!”

Surprised by Jess’s tears, I quickly lifted the child into my arms and sat her on my knees. Then I waved my arms wildly, showing off my muscular forearms.

“Look, she’s really healthy! She can swing her fists like this!”

Swoosh.

Exaggerating my movements, my sleeves were pushed up. Due to this, long scars, resembling snakes coiled around from the wrist to the elbow, were revealed. The redness still lingered, indicating that they were relatively recent.

“Huuhh…!”

“…!”

“Huuaaah!”

“Eeeing!”

Jess finally showed tears, burying her face in my chest and letting tears flow. In response, children of Jess’s age group started crying like dominoes.

I quickly lowered my sleeves to cover the scars and spoke.

“S-Sorry, it must have been disgusting. I didn’t mean to startle you. I just wanted to show that I’m perfectly fine.”

Do you know this? In the world of comedy, the one usually labeled as ‘evil’ was often the ‘one who made a woman cry.’ Especially, if the ‘pretty woman’ or ‘child’ was made to cry, one couldn’t escape punishment.

It’s an instinct to put on a show to console the children!

“Hey, it’s okay, kids. Stop crying.”

“Don’t cry.”

I tried to comfort the crying children with non-crying children. Not long after, the children could barely stop their tears.

I sighed with relief and comforted Jess, who was still embraced in my arms. Jess exhaled with a blocked nose and shrugged her shoulders. After a while, even the restless shoulders found stability.

Just as I was about to release Jess, wondering if she had finally calmed down.

Stumbling, Jess began to explore my body with his hands. A ticklish sensation made me want to burst into laughter.

“Jess, stop…”

Before I could finish my sentence,

Swiftly, Jess lifted my upper body and inserted his face inside. I blinked rapidly with a bewildered expression.

‘Is Jess fond of confined spaces like animals are?’

Such thoughts vanished as Jess’s trembling body took over.

“Huh…!”

“..! Jess, what’s wrong…!”

I urgently pulled Jess out from inside my shirt. Jess, with a face now reddened and tears streaming down, had become a pitiful sight. I wiped his face with my sleeve and embraced him again.

“Jyud, it hurts… Huk, hurts…”

“No, no. I’m not in pain. Let’s calm down, okay?”

Even as I tried to comfort Jess, his tears didn’t easily subside. When Jess cried so sincerely, even the children looked at me with puzzled faces.

“No, Noah, what should we do? Jess keeps crying.”

“..”

Noah, who had been biting his lower lip until it turned pale, sighed and stood up to approach me. He spoke to the crying Jess with a melancholic tone.

“If you keep crying like that, it’ll cause trouble for this guy. Is that what you want?”

“No, I don’t need to go that far…”

“Huk…”

Noah, the dreamer in the world! Just as Noah finished speaking, Jess stopped crying abruptly, sniffing. I looked at Noah with a newfound admiration. Can you feel my respect?

“Lian also needs to finish eating. Stop crying.”

Noah said in a colder tone than usual. Shouldn’t he speak more gently? I was about to say that, but Jess mumbled and left my embrace.

‘Pong…’

The swollen eyes and cheeks were so cute that I almost burst into laughter. I swallowed my dry saliva and barely managed to suppress my laughter.

“Huk, huu… Jyud, I’ll protect you…”

“Yeah, thanks.”

With a tone that cooed like a baby, holding onto my clothes tightly with fern-like hands, Jess answered. Jess let go of my clothes and descended from my leg.

Tododok.

After watching Jess return to his place, he looked at Noah and said,

“Thanks. It went well thanks to you. If there’s something you want later, tell me, and I’ll listen.”

“Anything?”

“I can’t agree to just anything, but within the limits I can handle, feel free!”

“Really? Well then… after we eat, come with me.”

“…?”

What’s going on? What does he want me to do?

A sense of unease crept in, but thinking it might not be a big deal, I finished the remaining meal.

On that day, the children took charge of cleaning and organizing, causing a commotion, so I left the restaurant faster than usual.

Thunk.

“Let’s go.”

“Huh? Right away?”

Noah, surprisingly assertive, grabbed my arm and pulled me along. Turning back to see if it was okay to leave Nero alone, I saw Nero cleaning up with other kids of his age in the restaurant.

Seeing that peaceful scene, a content smile escaped me.

“Thank goodness. He’s adapting well.”

As Nero’s figure disappeared at the edge of my vision, I turned my head to look at Noah. Noah, without looking at me once, was striding confidently.

Matching Noah’s pace, we quickly passed through the corridor and arrived at the lodging. Rooms, each accommodating four people, lined up.

Noah led me into a room shared by Noah, me, and Nero. Since the number of kids was odd, the three of us ended up sharing a room.

Thunk, clang!

As soon as the door opened, Noah roughly closed it with a forceful touch.

Thud!

Simultaneously, my body was pushed backward, colliding with the door. Noah, with intense eyes, grabbed the hem of my clothes.

“Uh, um, Noah?”

Ignoring my words, Noah casually chewed on my remark and forcefully lifted my shirt.
