-Secret Technique: Great Heavenly Stench Creation Cloud and Rain!
First, a strange stench filled the air, making the Root members instinctively frown.
Then, a mysterious vapor gathered overhead in the shape of clouds.
Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft... After a series of indescribable bursting sounds, unspeakable things began to fall.
Plop, plop, plop-plop-plop...!
At first, it was a light drizzle. Then it fell faster and faster, growing utterly unstoppable as the droplets jostled for space like dumplings racing into a boiling pot.
"What... is that?"
Still unaware of the danger descending on them, the Root members stood frozen, staring up at the sky.
Until the sticky stuff drenched them.
Up close, it looked like the packets of vegetable sauce that came with instant noodles, but the smell was nothing like it!
Their pupils trembled. Their breath caught!
-"It's shit! It's shit!!!!"
Thud!
That Root member collapsed to the ground and rolled around frantically, trying to shake the filth off!
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle... But the filth actually wriggled and changed shape, turning into little round cuties that crawled toward him!
"The shit is alive! It's alive...!!!!"
"Hehe, let's play together..."
The little cuties smiled innocently as they climbed up the Root member's bare skin. Above his neck, they gathered into a ball, engulfing his entire head!
"Urrrghhhhhhh..."
The agony of drowning made him struggle desperately, but the harder he struggled, the more filth poured into his mouth and nose. Eventually, he stopped moving altogether, whether suffocated or choked to death...
The little cuties burrowed into his body, then crawled back out. For some reason, they had grown bigger...
He was not the only one. The other Root members could not escape death either...
"No... I absolutely cannot die in a place like this, killed by these things!!"
Shimura Mai turned to flee!
