Insect Princess-sama was a true god.
Whether life or death, everything lay within her control.
Nonō watched in worship as Mimi vanished from the laboratory.
The experiment was over, and the results had been confirmed. All that remained was the final cleanup.
How were lab rats usually handled?
Naturally, they were dealt with painlessly. Decapitation was generally the quickest method.
There were other methods as well, depending on the circumstances.
However, this one had not undergone any dangerous experiments involving infectious diseases, nor had it been injured during the process.

Konoha had an Experimental Animal Memorial erected by Mimi. It was not large, more of a decorative gesture.
It merely expressed that the bodies had been properly buried.
And then there were the living experimental animals.
Nonō looked toward the experiment subject trembling in the corner.
In keeping with the principle of frugal household management, they had to make full use of it.
Killing it outright was impossible.
