Book Information
- Refer to: Mamono Realm Shelled Bugs
A mamono realm bug with a soft black body covered in a hard shell that can deflect even steel. Although they're bugs, they're around the size of a dog. They're herbivorous, and mainly feed on mamono realm fruits and vegetables. Since they're pests that sometimes come to devour the crops of farmers, they're the natural enemies of mamono realm farmers. Their appearance is similar to that of a scorpion, but they don't have a stinger. Instead, they have an orifice at the tip of their tail from which they can fire mana, and an eye for aiming.
If a mamono realm farmer comes and interrupts them when they're trying to devour crops, they fire a liquid of condensed mana from the tip of their tail and try to shower them in it. If they successfully hit a monster, she'll immediately go mad with lust, abandon her crops to the mamono realm shelled bug, and run directly to her husband for sex. While the monster is devouring her husband in this manner, the mamono realm shelled bug will also be devouring the crops. Anyway, they have a cowardly personality, so they try to shower anyone who approaches in mana.
Since they're kind of cute and their shell looks cool, they're popular with monster kids. It's not uncommon for kids to get showered in mana after approaching in an attempt to catch a bug, and then the kids attack their beloved onii-chan and awaken to sex a bit early. When the harvest comes in farming villages, they sometimes appear in groups. On such occasions, the village will unite to oppose them, and a group battle of farmers vs mamono realm shelled bugs will unfold. At such times, it is the incubi who are reliable. The mana of the mamono realm shelled bug is highly effective against monsters, but not very effective against incubi. (But still, if their wives get showered in mana, they'll have to retire at the same time.)
Also, on such occasions, sometimes huge mamono realm shell bugs appear that are even bigger than humans. The mana fired from their gigantic tail scatters all around just like a fountain, knocking the village down into an ocean of ecstatic cries. Additionally, since the couples having sex after being showered in the mamono realm bug's mana will release a far greater amount of mana than they normally would while having sex, the mana in the fields will grow rich, and the remaining crops tend to be of even higher quality. Also, even if the crops get wiped out, mamono realm farmers will not starve as long as the couples keep having sex. Therefore, soil rich with nutrients will remain afterward, and they'll be able to have high hopes for next year. Most will just laugh and give up, and say something like: “We had bad luck this year. Let's do our best next year.” A couple will remain secluded inside their home and spend the year's winter having sex. In this way, even if they lose, it's not a big deal, and nobody gets injured, so the mamono realm farmers tend to treat this battle as a yearly event to be enjoyed.
