ageha (butterfly affection) drawn by ray-k

Artist's commentary

  • Translated
    •

    After hesitating a bit, I went for a walk with Ageha. I warned her to stay close to me and keep quiet, and she smiled in understanding.
    However, immediately after leaving, I faced the same problem as a few days ago.
    Ageha hugged my arm tightly and walked with me like that.
    Perhaps due to the dress hiding her unnatural parts, for a moment I forgot that she's an indescribably strange creature, and something froze inside me.
    Thankfully, Ageha didn't wander away from me. Due to her having four legs, her walk was slightly unnatural, but I barely noticed that.
    Thinking rationally, I have no reason to shake her hand off; rather, letting her go might be dangerous now.
    It should be relieving that I stopped worrying about letting Ageha go outside, but I was still anxious about the change in our relationship. I felt that I had nowhere to run.
    Despite warnings of reason and morality, I began to recognize this mysterious girl as "the opposite gender". Questions and doubts were spinning in my head.

    I expect a dark turn of events sooner or later...

    Well, this guy is currently keeping highly intelligent alien lifeform as a pet, while it shows growing affection yet refuses to communicate. I wouldn't even bother counting the ways things could go wrong here, it's like the protagonist is jumping around the minefield blindfolded. Black widow-like mating rituals, preying on other humans, getting rid of anyone she sees as competition, incapacitating him so he can't refuse her affections, simply evolving into Eldritch Horror at some point, and so on, take your pick :3

    Than again, it's ray-k, he knows how to mix cute and horrifying in perfect proportions, and his yanderes are relatively tame so who knows.

    Oh wow, I thought this was the yandere who plucked out her eye again, and wondered why she had a doll joint hand... Turns out it's a new story with a different girl subject to bizarre body modification.

    @worldendDominator Thank you very much for translation!

    Is there more of that coming?
    I can't into moonspeak but the 14th image was uploaded almost a month ago, so it seems to be the last part, but it feels too open to be a definitive end.

    Have a wonderful day!

    Artists can often put a project aside, then come back to it a few months later. No idea if he will or not, though.

    So far, this is a cute story... But I cannot shake off the ghost of having read Franken Fran before to know what could possibly go wrong.

    Saya no Uta is the disturbing reference that comes to my mind. But ray-k seems to have mastered the ability to create things that are disturbingly heart-warming, so...

    The fact that he backed off from getting too close to her because of a "sense of danger" really does send me more the way of some sort of VN with Bad Ends. Chapter 2 of Franken Fran really does come to mind for me, as well.

    I also think of how, in Stellaris, there's an option when you find populated planets, you can genetically alter members of your own species to infiltrate their society so as to both accelerate their technological development and also have them automatically capitulate their planet to your empire as soon as they are advanced enough to be aware of interstellar races... (Which all told, isn't the worst then you can do, even if it is obviously inspired by tinfoil hat conspiracies even to the point of there being an achievement called "Payback" for doing so as a human against a reptilian race.)

    Clearly, Ageha is an arthropoid infiltrator.
