How could I hide in a place like that? I’ve always been inside your soul; manipulating shadows is merely a form of expression.」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【「I can do even more—like…」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow tentacle melted, slipped free from his hand, swayed triumphantly, then shifted into the shape of a palm, a blade, and an axe before instantly returning to its original form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【「As for the materials I need…」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow tentacle slid downward, groped along Herbert’s leg, and finally slipped into his pant pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Wait, what are you doing? You… hmm?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Herbert could pull away, the tentacle rummaged thoroughly inside his pocket and pulled out a glistening, crisp, tender leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This leaf was one Herbert had idly plucked from a vine chair when visiting Svan Ni , then absentmindedly shoved into his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【「This will do nicely.」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【「Hmm, why were you nervous just now? I felt your heartbeat quicken.」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Nothing. Mind your own business.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【「Oh~」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert wore a determined expression, ignoring the divine voyeurism, staring intently at the leaf as if he’d discovered a new continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「You’re saying this is a monster material?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【「Yes~ Didn’t you notice?」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「…Actually, I didn’t.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert raised his hand to take the leaf from the tentacle, but as soon as he thought of it, the tentacle automatically delivered the leaf into his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Huh?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert suddenly realized something and tried issuing a command to the tentacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, no words were needed—merely forming the thought in his mind caused the tentacle to respond instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its movements were agile, fluid, without the slightest hesitation, as if it were an extension of his own limb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if Herbert had gained a third arm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, the tentacle’s tip transformed into a palm, moving its fingers in sync with his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… why does this thing look familiar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me think…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The palm moved back and forth, then finally triggered Herbert’s memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Invisible Hand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, since I can see it now, you’re the Visible Hand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, now I can go play a knockoff version of the Sin of Sloth’s Archbishop…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nenasha didn’t notice Herbert’s cosplay thoughts; she beamed: 【「Happy? Hehe, this is a small power I can grant you now.」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【「As long as you wish, this shadow tentacle can become your third hand—do anything you want.」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【「Right now, it only manifests high-tier power, but in the future, it can grow stronger—thicker, more powerful.」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【「By the way, I can control others—but this one is entirely yours. I won’t steal back control.」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Nenasha finished speaking, five pitch-black shadow tentacles emerged from the shadows and thrust themselves directly before Herbert’s face—one nearly shoved itself into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dimly lit room, a handsome, well-featured boy faced five thick, black, writhing tentacles… the scene was undeniably overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, if anyone else saw this moment, they’d likely start imagining all sorts of things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Herbert’s attention wasn’t on those potentially blurred tentacles—he was staring intently at the leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did Nenasha say this leaf was a monster material?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could that tree actually be a plant monster?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he spotted an anomaly at the leaf’s stem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of plant fibers at the broken end, there were extremely fine, muscle-like textures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「This isn’t a leaf—it’s… flesh?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【「Yes.」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「So it’s not ‘it’—but ‘her’?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert narrowed his eyes; the situation was unfolding beyond his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The great tree that formed the treehouse wasn’t planted by Svan Ni  from seeds, nor transplanted from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was grown from her own flesh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【「Exactly! Just as you thought—that great tree isn’t a tree at all, but a flesh construct of hers.」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【「In a sense, the entire tree is her body. Every time you enter the treehouse, you’re entering her body~」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ssshh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of Saya no Uta is this!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【「Hah…」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nenasha, too, felt a pang of awe—but while Herbert was shocked, She was marveling:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【「That little one’s research into flesh modification is already on par with some flesh-based abominations.」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【「If her research advances further, she may one day fully transform that entire flesh-tree into her true body.」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Do I really have to eat it?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert instinctively resisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【「Good~ There’s nothing to fear.」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nenasha smiled soothingly: 【「Besides, I sense it might grant you some quite useful abilities!」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【「Especially in flesh modification—that’s exactly what you need most right now, isn’t it?」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert sighed and nodded reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was indeed the ability he needed most right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【「So, open your mouth~」】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert stared at the leaf, eyebrows twitching, feeling a strangely unsettling sensation—as if he’d become a cannibal…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he reconsidered: he’d already eaten scales, blood, and hair—what was one more leaf?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no turning back now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「…I really owe you.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert sighed, then opened his mouth and bit down on the leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his teeth crushed the leaf, instead of the crisp snap of biting vegetables, he felt a strange, chewy texture like dried beef jerky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crunchy, crunching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the taste wasn’t unpleasant—no metallic or bloody aftertaste, only a faint, clean herbal fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「This vegetarian meat—no, this meat dish—is maybe a three out of ten… at most five…」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Herbert was evaluating the flavor, his consciousness suddenly plunged into darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he opened his eyes again, he was in another world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Where is this…」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike previous times, Herbert felt no change in his body—he remained his original form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unsettlingly, he now stood within a bizarre world composed entirely of crimson flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath his feet, the ground breathed and pulsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head, he saw flesh-formed flowers opening crimson eyes toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire world was alive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「What the hell kind of place is this…」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s third update.
