Collecting Feces, Homura Is Constipated

Chapter 15: Collecting Feces, Homura Is Constipated

"Night provides the best cover. I simply need to stroll around the streets to collect dung within a 100-meter radius. The only question is, what can mask my scent?"

Lost in thought, he unconsciously walked toward the gate of the courtyard.

Not far from Chiba's yard was a heap of garbage, catching his eye.

Snap!

Suddenly, his eyes brightened, and he slapped his forehead.

"Ah, my brain! It's such a simple solution. Why didn't I think of it before?"

He fixed his gaze on the pile of garbage, where numerous plastic bags were rolling and floating.

Plastic bags!

That's what Chiba had come up with.

"Plastic bags can hold water and they should also be able to block the smell..."

Soon after, Chiba's figure appeared on the rubbish pile, and shortly after, he ran home with a stack of trash in his arms.

Unbeknownst to him, within the mountainous pile of garbage, there were countless fly eggs, densely packed like the sand of the Ganges River(1), undergoing incubation.

Among the multitude of fly eggs, hundreds of female flies toiled like industrious gardeners, continuously laying eggs. Each female fly would lay hundreds of eggs at a time.

The darkness descended.

Chiba was filled with excitement at this moment. He realized that a whole day had passed without the swarm of flies coming for him last night, and Danzo hadn't sent anyone either.

Furthermore, his makeshift plastic bag suit for protection was complete.

"The path to becoming stronger begins tonight!"

With pride swelling in his heart, he clenched his fists.

Night fell.

Chiba put on his homemade plastic bag attire, wearing a mask fashioned from tattered cotton pants, and stealthily slipped out of the door.

He was no longer concerned about encountering stray dogs when venturing out at night. The worst-case scenario was a confrontation with the Reincarnation of Grains and Dung Fist. He doubted that stray dogs could stand in his way.

Following the path to the street, Chiba noticed there were still pedestrians around.

"Anyone else? Then I'll start with the residential area."

Having made up his mind, he crossed the street directly and ventured into the residential area.

After selecting the darkest corner, Chiba had a sudden thought.

In an instant, invisible fluctuations spread within a 100-meter radius around him. The next moment—

A substantial amount of dung was sprayed out from the latrines of several nearby residents, rising into the air.

"Solidify!"

Witnessing this scene, Chiba hurriedly gathered the feces, fearing detection by others.

Thank goodness for the cover of the night. If it were broad daylight, there would likely be many onlookers.

In mid-air, the excrement condensed, forming a colossal fecal ball approximately ten meters in diameter, leaving Chiba dumbfounded.

A diameter equivalent to the height of a three-story building.

"How can it be so large when it's only the feces of a few families?"

After a brief moment of contemplation, he realized the reason.

The village had been established for decades, so it was reasonable for over a dozen families to produce such a volume of oligo over the years.

"Compact!"

Whispering to himself while looking at the immense dung ball, Chiba focused his thoughts, he had to compress it. Otherwise, he would be eating this dung for a year.

Following Chiba's intention, the massive dung ball rapidly shrank tenfold, reducing to approximately one meter in diameter.

"Compact further!"

With another thought, the dung ball diminished once again, transforming into a dung bean.

"That should do it!"

Raising his hand, he grabbed the dung bean and held it in his palm.

Then, he tossed it directly into his mouth.

Gulp...

Having finished in the first area, Chiba hastily departed.

After all, the dung ball had been so massive earlier that there would undoubtedly be an odor in the air. If someone followed the scent and discovered it, he might be exposed.

"My range is a 100-meter radius, which means the next area is 200 meters away..."

As Chiba strolled around the corner, he measured the distance of his range.

After a while, he halted. This marked the second area for feces collection.

Rather than immediately employing his ability, he crouched in the corner for a moment.

"No one around..."

Surveying his surroundings, Chiba felt relieved. Soon, the enormous dung ball reappeared, its presence concealed as it entered Chiba's mouth.

He vowed that he wasn't consuming dung. His mouth merely served as a conduit for transporting the excrement into the septic tank.

The third location, the fourth location, the fifth location...

Each time Chiba collected feces, he exercised caution and observed the situation beforehand.

This was also the primary reason for his successive successes.

Gradually, Chiba made his way through a large residential area in the village.

...

These past couple of days, Mitokado Homura had been suffering from mild constipation.

As the overseer of transportation and supply lines, as well as a senior manager of the village, he found himself busy to the point of dizziness every day.

Irregular eating patterns and extended hours of intense work left him irritable and struggling to relieve himself.

Ratoon's Note:

resembling the vast expanse of sand along the Ganges River- indicates that the densely packed fly eggs in the garbage pile were numerous and spread out extensively, creating a visual comparison to the vast stretch of sand found along the banks of the Ganges River.
