Hah, unsavory things are swarming out .

Gula grinned and said it in an easy tone . But Lapis, who had come to crouch down besides Loren, stiffened once she saw the newly-appeared figures .

The ones who had attacked them earlier had looked and acted strangely, but they had still appeared to be normal villagers and soldiers . But the ones surrounding them now looked abnormal right from their appearances .

Why are they all stark naked?!

It was not unreasonable at all for Lapis to scream . The ones coming out from behind the trees were all muscular men . As Lapis screamed out, they all undressed, as if they agreed upon this beforehand . They had bloodshot eyes, which were all locked on Gula and Lapis, and their breathing got heavier .

I hate this Loren, do something about this please

Lapis began smacking the unconscious Lorens head, but of course, he didnt respond at this .

Now wait, he doesnt wake up . Is that alright?

Hm? Uhm? Is that so?

Gulas laid-back expression didnt change at all despite being surrounded by naked men . She looked as if she didnt notice them . After humming for a while, Gula seemed to be unable to come to a conclusion about whatever she was thinking and simply turned around, walked to Lorens side, and lightly poked at him with her toes .

Hey!

Ah, hes fine . Hes still alive .

Being poked by Gulas toes, Lorens body moved slightly . As Gula had said, it was proof that he was still alive, and Lapis felt relieved for the time being .

Now wait, this is not the time to feel relieved!

Right, why do they leave it dangling like that?

Dont say dangling and such, please!

Lapis had tried to not pay attention, but once it had been described like that, she couldnt help but be conscious of the men and their dangling things .

Wouldnt it be much more refreshing if she just burned down the whole forest? But before Lapis could be swayed by that dangerous thought, Gula stopped poking Loren and walked towards the men in a nothing-worth-being-so-cautious-about gait .

Gula?!

You take some rest . Ill be a proper partner to these

One of the men grabbed Gulas shoulder while she was speaking . Before she could do anything, he pushed her to the ground with all his strength .

At the sight of blond hair suddenly spreading on the earth, Lapis half rose up to come and help, but Gula waved a hand to stop her .

Its alright its alright . Im doing quite well, arent I?

Gula said, but the man was still keeping a hand on her shoulder . A smile that Lapis didnt want to see at all appeared on his face, and he lifted his leg to straddle Gula .

How dirty I might even lose my appetite .

Gula looked at the naked man straddling her and said; she didnt even try to get up . The words didnt reach the mans ears, of course . However, in the next moment, the upper half of the mans body suddenly vanished .

What the hell just?

Even Lapis could only see his upper half body disappearing .

The remaining lower half body kept the leg-raised posture for a short while . But before long, blood poured out from the cross-section, and it also vanished while falling to the ground .

I wanted to try eating that . Tasted bad though .

Gula sat up . The naked men were still surrounding them . They leapt at Gula as if they hadnt seen the other man vanishing at all .

So its fine if I keep you company?

Not even bothered to be on guard, Gula stood up . At the same time, the upper half bodies of the numerous men leaping at her vanished without any warning just like the man earlier . Their lower half bodies also vanished after that, but the remaining men didnt falter whatsoever .

Im not picky, but itll be nicer if what I eat tastes good .

A man was coming at Gula with his arms wide open as if to embrace her . Both arms vanished starting from the shoulders, displaying two neat cross-sections . The force of blood shooting out combined with the loss of balance due to losing his arms made him fall to the ground . Then his head vanished, then his upper body vanished, and finally his lower half body vanished .

The men rushing at Lapis also had body parts vanishing here and there, as if they had been gouged out . In the end, they all disappeared without leaving a trace in the world .

What is happening?

Hhm? Even you cant see?

Gula waved her right hand in the empty space . Lapis strained her eyes, but she couldnt see what had erased those macho men from this world .

What is this

Loren?!

Hearing the voice beside her, Lapis reflexively touched Lorens arm . Since he had fallen face down, he still lied on the ground . He slightly opened his eyes and let out a groan .

Are you alright?! Can you move?!

I cant What happened?

Loren lifted his head . He placed his hands on the ground to lift himself up but couldnt, as if there was no strength in his arms .

Noticing that, Lapis turned him to a face-up position and helped him sit up .

You suddenly collapsed . Did something happen?

I dont know . I suddenly lost all my strength When I came to, I was on the ground

Sorry, I took a bite at you .

Gula made a praying gesture with her left hand while waving her right hand . Just that, and the upper half body of the naked man rushing at Lapis from behind vanished without a sound or any piece of scattered meat . Before blood could even spurt out from his lower half body, it also disappeared abruptly at a wave of Gulas hand .

Loren, can you see anything?

This is it Shaynas vision? I can kind of see a lot of huge mouths .

Loren, who still couldnt move and was being held sitting up by Lapis, could see things that look like gigantic transparent mouths flying about Gula . They leapt into the air at Gulas signals and bit the attacking men .

As for where in the world the eaten bodies disappeared to, he had no clue . This information was hard to get from his vision . However, as Gula was controlling the mouths, it was natural to think that the bodies were being digested somewhere connected to her .

How can you see it? Ah, the one inside helped you, right? Thats quite a being, to be able to see my <<Predators>> .

Gula signalled for the flying transparent mouths to come back . They gathered around her at her command and snapped their teeth while Loren stared at them .

I used this mouth to eat delicious things, but its hard to fill my stomach with it .

Gula pointed at her own lips with an index finger . She licked it with a loud slurp, then turned her clouded gaze to the remaining naked men . They didnt falter even after receiving gaze, but Lapis shuddered . She had noticed that Gula was looking at them not as on humans but as on something close to livestock, something to eat .

Well, I have lots of mouths, but when I dont want to use my own mouth, Ill use these Predators . The taste wont bother me as much, and I can still fill my stomach .

Uhm From what you said, those mouths that I cant see are linked to your stomach?

Lapis asked somewhat hesitantly, and Gula nodded easily .

Thats right .

Do you eat humans?

Hearing that question from Lapis, Gula folded her arms and tilted her head in puzzlement . Around them, attacked by invisible mouths, the mens bodies were being gouging out bit by bit until they disappeared .

But Lapis-chan, you do it too? You also eat animals meat, dont you?

That, well

For me, I dont see any difference between animals meat and these guys meat, aside from the taste .

Gula said and caught the remaining arm of a man, who had vanished while rushing at her, before it could fall to the ground . She held it by the wrist and took a bite at the shoulder part .

With blood smeared around her mouth, Gula chewed a couple of times, then immediately spit out the mix of blood and gnawed meat .

Doesnt taste nice . Good enough to fill the stomach though .

Youre the Evil God of Gluttony

Lapis muttered with tension . Gula threw the severed arm away and wiped her blood-stained mouth .

That name is a bit too much now, isnt it?

Probably because they had gone crazy, the slaughtered men didnt scream at all . And even when they had been killed, their bodies were immediately consumed by Gulas Predators, leaving nothing behind . It was almost one-sided . And on the face of Gula, the one who was devouring them, was quite a happy, if not unpleasant smile .
