Monster Taming Broadcast

The Hyper Express grew to a suitable size.

The sides smoothly split open, and exploration team monsters walked out from inside.

“[Dad! I missed you!]”

“[We’re back, meow!]”

Kinogine Aracne and Bastet Daong.

Behind them, the Necro Puppetmaster and the puppets were seen coming out in a line.

“[Daddyy…]”

The Blood Jellyfish Princess was still unable to stabilize her body and was being carried by the Aracne.

“Pururu—Looks like the princess is still in pain.”

“Rize Nova—She doesn’t look good.”

“Boglebogle—She must have used too much energy yesterday.”

“Mysticism—”

“Yumi—Huh? Did we arrive already? That’s really fast!”

The Aracne carefully handed over the princess to me.

“You did well, princess.”

“[Mhm… I worked hard…]”

I cradled the princess in my arms and walked into the crystal sphere house.

After laying the princess on a soft mattress, Melody Fox quietly followed me in.

“[Kyuwoo.]”

“Are you going to take care of her from the side?”

“[Kyuya.]”

“Okay, then I’ll leave it to you.”

“[Kyukyu.]”

After entrusting the care to Melody Fox, I stepped outside. Calling the Hedgehog Summoner while extracting blood in Japan.

“Dochi.”

“[Doo Doom Bar! Did you call?]”

“Can you take the blood I’m extracting and regularly deliver it to the princess inside the house? I think she needs a bit of a blood replenishment to get healthy.”

“[Doom Bar! Leave it to me!]”

The Hedgehog, with the blood-filled pet bottle in hand, trotted off toward the crystal house with the bottle on its head.

I advised him not to deliver too much blood.

Blood was the source of strength for the princess and just like a nutrient, but still, consuming too much blood in such a weakened state could cause side effects.

I thought it was best to feed the princess slowly over time.

Eventually, Omega, who had come out of the Hyper Express, was greeting other monsters.

“[Nice to meet you, I’m Omega. Pyo pyo.]”

“[Nice to meet you. I’m Centauress, the mating partner of the Explorer, and I was recently assigned as an assistant in the Monster Index work.]”

“[Nice to meet you. I’m Omega. Pyo.]”

“[Suuung.]”

“[Ppii!]”

Omegas greeted every monster one by one.

Especially, it seemed like Omega was excited to see Snake Head.

“[Oh, that guy’s here too. Pyo.]”

“Do you know Snake Head?”

I quietly approached Omega and asked.

Omega answered as he placed the machine parts he brought down on the ground.

“[I got inspiration from him to create the Cyborg Dolphin. Pyo pyo.]”

Ah, so the Cyborg Dolphin’s motif was Snake Head.

No wonder the overall structure looked oddly similar.

“[Instead, who are the ones you want to do body modification for? Pyo.]”

“Azelas and Japan. We just greeted them, right?”

It would be good if Azelas got his arms, and Japan got his legs.

After making that request, Omega nodded lightly as if it was an easy task.

“[Understood. But first, I will install a Warp Device. You never know if you might suddenly need parts during the modification. I brought most of the important machine parts, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. It wouldn’t be good if the flow is interrupted during the modification. Pyo pyo.]”

“Do as you please. It’s not urgent, and installing the Warp Device doesn’t take long anyway.”

Omega looked around, as if scouting for a suitable place to install the Warp Device.

Then pointed to the side of the crystal house with his finger.

“[I’d like to ask if it’s okay to install it there. That spot is exactly the center of this Great Cavern, and I like it. Pyo.]”

“I don’t mind.”

“[Good. Then I will start the installation. Pyoro Ring.]”

So, Omega started installing the Warp Device right next to the crystal house.

*

After finishing the installation of the Warp Device.

Finally, the long-awaited body modification time was approaching.

Omega laid out a wide mat on the floor.

Seeing that the mat was pure white, it seemed to be used like an operating table.

“[Azelas. Japan. You can lie down on this, Pyo Pyo.]”

Azelas lay down on the mat by himself.

Since Japan couldn’t move from his spot, I carefully lifted him and laid him down.

“Pururu—That guy’s really strong.”

“Mysticism—”

“Yumi—It’s only natural for him to be strong. He’s currently in a Stage 2 Liberation state.”

“Boglebogle—If you see the real power of that gauntlet, you won’t be able to say a word in shock.”

“Yay! This looks fun! I wanna lie down next to them!”

“Merino, you stay there.”

“Awww…”

Merino sulked and went into the crystal house.

“[Japaaan!!! I’m so nervous!]”

“Do your best…”

Both were lying next to each other on the mat.

There was a clear expression of tension on Japa’s and Azelas’s faces.

Approaching them, Omega waved her wire tail.

“[Who wants to be modified first? Pyo?]”

In response to Omega’s question,

Azelas said nothing.

Japa quietly pointed at Azelas with his finger, avoiding eye contact.

“Pururu—Haha!”

“Mysticism—”

“Rize Nova—It seems Japa is unexpectedly a bit of a coward.”

“Yumi—He is still a baby.”

In the end, Azelas was the first to receive the body modification.

“[Now then… I will proceed with body modification. Pyoro Ring.]”

Beside the lying Azelas,

Omega knelt down, wrapping her wire tail around her body.

Soon, the sphere attached to the tip of her tail opened, and various types of tools popped out from inside.

“[Azelas. If you need anesthesia, let me know in advance. Pyo.]”

“I don’t need it.”

“[Alright. Then I will proceed with the modification without anesthesia. Pyo pyo.]”

Pook!

A sharp tool brutally dug into the severed part of Azelas’s arm.

Azelas groaned in pain.

“Ugh… I think I need anesthesia…”

“[…]”

“Pururu—What a weakling. Hahaha!”

“Mysticism—Why were you acting tough about not needing anesthesia! ”

“Yumi—Even an SS-Class feels pain.”

“Boglebogle—Of course, that’s the case.”

“Rize Nova—I didn’t know Azelas was prone to whining.”

“Yumi—Seeing him act differently is funny yet cute.”

“Mysticism—Such a refreshing look! ”

Omega looked coldly at Azelas and stuck a huge syringe into the severed part.

That was probably the anesthetic.

“[To anesthetize someone of your caliber, I need to administer this special anesthetic I made in large doses. Pyo pyo.]”

As she pushed the syringe’s plunger,

The anesthetic flowed into Azelas’s body.

“[Release all the types of powers surrounding your body. You need to be defenseless for the anesthetic to work effectively. Pyo.]”

“I understand…”

“[Oh, and can I remove that mass of monsters on your head? I want to take it as a sample. Pyo.]”

“……”

“[Is that a no? If you say not to, I won’t remove it. Pyoro Tong.]”

“If possible, you can remove it… But please make sure to anesthetize me…”

We agreed to remove the mass of monsters from Azelas’s head.

Honestly, I was glad.

It looked unpleasant aesthetically.

Omega also administered the anesthetic to the monster mass.

“[Hmm. These masses are quite tough. It might be difficult to remove them all cleanly. Pyo pyo.]”

Any masses that were left would have to be modified with the machine.

Saying that, Omega began the serious body modification process.

*

One hour after starting the body modification.

“Ugh…!”

“[This part like this…]”

“Ugh! I think the anesthesia is wearing off…!”

“[It hasn’t worn off. Pyo pyo.]”

Around 90 percent of the monster mass on Azelas’s head was removed.

The remaining masses were transformed into metal using an unidentified black liquid injected into the portions that invaded his brain and face.

Then, those metal parts were further modified for a good while.

“Mysticism—”

“Boglebogle—I thought it would take a long time, but seeing how quickly it’s progressing makes it seem like it’s going to finish sooner than expected.”

“Rize Nova—Impressive. I have no idea what’s going on in the modification process.”

“Pururu—Ugh. I can’t watch because it’s gross.”

“Yumi—I can’t either… It’s surprisingly brutal.”

After a little more time passed,

The modifications to Azelas’s face were completed.

The small metal parts that had turned to metal were smoothly polished.

It was not just satisfactory; it was extremely pleasing.

Previously, it felt like he had a bunch of monster masses hanging from his head, but now it seemed like there were merely monster-shaped metal machines lightly placed on top.

“Pururu—Finally, the face part is done.”

“Yumi—He looks really good. So handsome.”

“Mysticism—So pretty! ”

“Rize Nova—Looking at it now, it seems like his hair has grown quite a bit since the first time I saw him.”

Next was the arm transplant.

Omega carefully applied anesthesia to the severed part of Azelas’s arm and inserted numerous wires deeply into the severed area.

Although they were red,

while she was modifying his head, they turned green in color.

“[This will finish quickly. Pyo pyo.]”

Omega began to carefully connect the mechanical arms she had prepared.

Surprisingly,

the arms she prepared didn’t look artificial at all.

She had scanned Azelas’s skin color and crafted special leather of the same color to wrap the mechanical arms.

As long as that leather doesn’t get peeled off,

No one would suspect that those were mechanical arms.

“[Connection is complete. Now, all I need to do is fit them together. Pyoro Ring.]”

After the wires of the mechanical arms were connected to the severed section,

Omega took hold of the mechanical arms, gently moved them a bit, then pushed them up with strength, cleanly attaching them to Azelas’s body. She did the same for the other arm.

Lastly,

she applied flesh-colored paint to the seams, and Omega stood up.

Azelas, looking up at Omega with a slightly lifted head, asked,

“Is my modification finished…?”

“[It’s done. I’ll explain the functions of the arms once Japa’s modification is completed. Pyo pyo.]”

Azelas sighed in relief at the fact it was finally over.

Lying next to him, Japa was trembling in fear.

“[Japaaan… It looks incredibly painful. Can’t I just skip it… ?]”

“[You can’t. Pyo pyo.]”

“Pururu—Why is he so scared? Can machines feel pain?”

“Yumi—He’s a monster.”

Omega moved to Japa’s side, kneeling beside him.

And immediately continued with the body modification.

“[Japaaaan!!!]”

A scream resonated throughout the Great Cavern.

Blood shot from Japa’s lower half like a burst soda.
