Tentacles, generally speaking, are often good friends of magical girls in thin books.
But Goki and Skadi were no strangers to tentacles—Seaborn, who couldn't grow bones, were covered in tentacles.
When he was in Aegir, Goki had extensive hostile experience with these soft and powerful things.
To deal with tentacles, ordinary slashes would easily slip off. Only by using a Saw Cleaver and Saw Spear, preferably with fire paper, could these tentacle monsters be efficiently dealt with.
However, for people on the land of Terra, let alone tentacles, they might not have even seen octopuses or squids.
Although he preferred magical girls, if it were a scientific girl of the academic genius type, perhaps tentacles would also be quite liked?
"Ugh, what exactly is this—it's reaching, reaching into my clothes!"
Muelsyse / Muir Sais's Clone was currently suspended from the ceiling of the hidden warehouse by several crimson tentacles extending from the cultivation chamber, her body struggling constantly.
Muelsyse / Muir Sais's Incarnation had a certain offensive capability, but for some reason, the water flow controlled by her Originium Arts was forcibly fixed in a humanoid state and could not change.
After repeatedly knocking the things it had "preyed upon" against the wall for a while, the twisted flesh creation finally understood that it probably couldn't knock its "prey" to death, and instead decided to strangle it to death.
"Hey, Goki, are you just going to watch? It's really going to get inside!—And why is it only attacking me?!"
Seeing the tentacles about to burrow in through her collar and the gaps beneath her long skirt, and gradually tightening their grip, Muelsyse / Muir Sais finally became somewhat afraid.
At this moment, Muelsyse / Muir Sais's main body in the Structure Department was trying its best to suppress her expression, which was on the verge of bursting into laughter because her ticklish spots were being touched.
If her main body were to laugh out loud—Muelsyse / Muir Sais would absolutely suffer social death!
"Because this thing only has instinct; it knows to attack those who are easy to bully, not something that can kill it at any moment."
Putting away stacks of clearly written research materials and collecting various blood samples into the Hunters Dream to be converted into blood echoes by the Doll Nona, Goki took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at Muelsyse / Muir Sais, who was already hanging from the ceiling, seemingly about to be preyed upon—a mischievous smile appeared on his face, full of interest.
This smile used to appear on Muelsyse / Muir Sais's face.
"Say something nice, and I'll let you down—come on, call me Brother Rogue, let's see?"
In Goki's view, the flesh creation before him was currently just a harmless small monster, its combat power roughly equivalent to those small bugs in the upper levels of the Healing Church that squirmed on the ground, only increasing the frenzy meter when they hit people, and couldn't even deplete blood.
If Muelsyse / Muir Sais's main body were here, she could probably deal with this thing very easily.
But obviously, Muelsyse / Muir Sais, as a Clone, did not have this ability.
"Ugh—Gao, Goki giegie?"
After a moment of hesitation, Muelsyse / Muir Sais still showed a standard professional fake smile and acted cute towards Goki.
For the self-serving Muelsyse / Muir Sais, yielding at a critical moment was to gain greater benefits.
After all, she had long wanted to understand what Madam Director was secretly researching behind everyone's backs.
"Hmm... that's more like it."
Clang—Dong!
Without much hesitation, accompanied by a loud metallic crash, Goki swung his Saw Cleaver and cut it directly before the tentacles could touch anything strange—if anyone was going to touch it, it had to be Goki himself.

After a month in Columbia, Goki finally got a rare chance to hunt again.
The pitiful amount of blood echoes indicated that this thing was indeed very weak.
"Ah!"
The next second, the nimble Muelsyse / Muir Sais fell from the ceiling into Goki's arms, her face still pale with fright.
Upon realizing she was free, Muelsyse / Muir Sais immediately tried to control her Incarnation to return to a flowing water state, but for some reason, even after the twisted flesh monster died, Muelsyse / Muir Sais's Originium Arts remained uncontrolled.
Now, she was truly just an ordinary Liberi girl.
"Bringing such dangerous items into Rhine Lab, you're quite bold, Mr. Goki? Tell me your true identity, and I'll keep your secret, how about it?"
Held in a princess carry by Goki, feeling his firm and powerful chest, Muelsyse / Muir Sais's cheeks flushed slightly, but she still began to bargain with Goki as usual.
She admitted that she was indeed becoming interested in the identity of the man before her.
"And, Young Man Goki, can you put me down now?"
However, Goki didn't seem to intend to let Muelsyse / Muir Sais go, maintaining the princess carry. Rarely having an opportunity to tease this mischievous woman, Goki didn't mind properly disciplining... educating her.
"No spirit, say it again—I shouldn't have followed Brother Rogue, Muelsyse / Muir Sais is a bad woman!"
After all, she was his wife; it wouldn't be good if she became too bad, so it was best to give her a small lesson.
"Ugh—don't push your luck, Young Man Goki, I'm right next to the Director now. If I wanted to, I could report you at any time."
Hearing Goki's words, Muelsyse / Muir Sais's lips trembled slightly, and her originally smiling eyes suddenly held a hint of threat.
Muelsyse / Muir Sais had always felt that a "good person" like Goki was completely out of place in Rhine Lab, and out of curiosity, she had been keeping an eye on him.
What she hadn't expected was that this guy, who had touched her chest, actually dared to brazenly walk into the heavily guarded core warehouse.
"And ultimately, my Clone doesn't feel anything at all. Just like last time, it doesn't matter even if my Clone dies—you have no leverage to threaten me, Mr. Goki."
