Chapter 86: Perspiration

[Edited by: Bunny, ArchmageNaoki, Arthur300000 and deathbricks. ]

“Hey! Who are you, and what are you doing with my son!?” My dad yelled at me again… wait, it was my dad from my previous life and he seemed to be yelling at a burly man who stood next to me.

I was inside my old house where I used to live as a little boy before I ran away. As I looked down at my body, I realized that it was my old body, that of a 30-year-old virgin dude.

“I’m a gentleman.” The burly man next to me taciturnity answered.

“You call yourself a gentleman, yet you take my son as your man-wife!” Huh? What's going on again? I looked dumbfoundedly at the burly man next to me.

“I, Valerie, have fallen in love with her… him… it! And I will take all the responsibility.” … Alright, this must be another one of my stupid dreams. Okay, let’s wake up. Hmmm.

“No! I won’t approve of this! I wasted so much money on him!” My dad suddenly yelled and swung his cane at me at high speed. However, Valerie, no, let’s called him Mr. Burlyman, protected me with his body.

“Oh, you got some skill. Then take my Hammon energy!” After saying that, his shirt was ripped to shreds by his sudden muscle growth. Then he proceeded to flex his muscles like a bodybuilder.

I flinched at the scene in front of me, scared for my sanity, and doubled up my efforts towards waking up. But Val- Mr. Burlyman also ripped his shirt off and proclaimed something about his north moon fist being invincible with its 3,000 years of history. After that, my dreams began to fill with muscle galore, perspiration, and men fighting everywhere.

“Ouch!” A fist landed on my nose, the pain felt vivid and real…

“Natalya!” Valerie, the owner of that fist yelled. I tried to get my bearings but the “Ora ora ora” and “A-ta-ta-ta-ta!” were screaming in my head, the pain, and the loud noise from the cicadas and other unidentified bugs out there made me want to puke out blood. No, I shouldn’t do that, it's that time of the month after all, so more blood loss might make me faint.

I shifted her hand away, but Valeria was still tossing and turning in her sleep, yelling ‘Natalya! Natalya!’ all the time. Judging by the grunts from both Mickie and Lilith, Valerie had woken up everyone except for Cocoa who was still perfectly asleep and even snoring quietly on my other side.

I was going to pin her down, but after a few more ‘Natalya’s’, she stopped and went back to her peaceful slumber.

I turned right to face her. It was very dark inside the cabin, but with my enhanced vision, I could see perfectly with only the few faint beams of light that slipped through the tiny gaps in the wall.

She didn’t look like that burly man in my dream at all. Her cute and delicate features made me realize that that dream must be a lie. Her defenseless pink lips were parting a little, letting air in and out in a rhythmic manner. Then her tongue suddenly moved and slipped between them, moistened those two pink petals, making them glisten.

I also saw that she had shed a tear, a droplet rolling down from her eye, curved along her cheek, and fell onto the leaf-covered bed. Maybe her past life was also a sad one. That Natalya might be her lost love or an unrequited love.

I couldn’t stop myself but to curiously poke her cheek a bit with my finger, and it felt unbelievably soft. It made me wonder what it would be like to feel her up. Ah, it should be alright, after all we’re both girls, so it’s not gay!

Anyways, to be safe, I pretended to be sleeping and mumbled a random name like her. “Sarah…” Then I snuggled up to her. Wow, this feeling, it was even better than Cocoa.

“I can’t sleep!” Lilith, the noisiest girl in our group, interrupted my happy time. Ah, look at what you have done: The sleeping beauty has begun to stir.

“It’s hot, and my sweat makes me feel all sticky and gross.” She continued by flailing her arms and legs about.

“Oi! Why don’t you take a bath? There is a freshwater stream nearby” I hushed back and suggested what Cocoa and I did before the dinner.

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

“In the dark!? No! I don’t want to!” She argued… what a hard to please person. For the record, it was almost dawn. Oh well, now Cocoa and Valerie are really going to wake up. I used my last chance to plant my face between Valerie's neck and shoulder, and sniffed her hair. Ah, she also smells nice.

As Valerie came to, maybe because she was still sleepy, she squeezed my boobs a few times. I playfully moaned ‘Ah!’ trying to act as an innocent victim which caused Valerie to shoot up in panic.

“Sorry!” Valerie flustered and inched back, and landed on Lilith in the process.

“Hey! Don’t jump around in the dark!” Lilith complained and pushed Valerie back.

“It’s fine.” I caught Valerie who bounced my way and cuddled her a bit more. Being a girl was not a bad thing after all.

“Kuro, can we go take a bath again?” Cocoa requested while cutely rubbing her eyes. It seemed that everyone was sweaty and sticky. Cocoa took the worst of it, even in her swimsuit, her tails and fur made her warmer than other people.

“Okay, let’s go then.” I placed Valerie back on the bed and opened the door. As expected it was early dawn, the sun didn’t peek up over the horizon yet, but its rays had already dyed half of the sky red. There were also hundreds of faintly glowing dots floating around in the air, magically illuminating our surroundings.

“Fireflies!” Cocoa, who close to me yelled and danced around happily.

“Huh? I thought they were magical creatures. How can they glow on this island?” Mickie who came out a bit later questioned.

“It’s bioluminescence… chemical reaction.” Valerie taciturnly explained. Ah, it’s not a magical creature, huh? Wait... I already knew that from the start, but it seemed that living in this magical world distorted my scientific sense somehow.

We watched the beautiful scenery and played along the beach for a little while. I noticed that some of those fireflies were steadily glowing, and some of them were blinking like the blinking dagger that landed me in this predicament. Or was it because of this over-energetic-two-tailed fox girl? Nah, that doesn’t matter anymore. I decided not to blame anyone and went back to contemplating about these blinking fireflies. Maybe it was the male fireflies asking the girly fireflies to give them some panties. I noticed some dots were merging and became bigger.

The sea was also alluring, but even in the dark, I could still see several fluorescent creatures swimming about in the sea, so I decided not to risk it. At least during the day, I have a better chance to avoid a sudden attack from sea monsters because I could see a lot farther than in this dim light.

The camera crew also woke up and came out from their not so primitive tent, but when Lilith told them that we were going to take a bath and asked them for some private time, they went back to sleep again, except for the security staff that was still following us.

Because we came together, we decided to walk a bit deeper to get to a nice bathing spot: A beautiful pond beside a small waterfall. The water is a bit cold but it was so clear that I could see all the way to the bottom of it which was covered in multicolored stones the size of chicken eggs.

Cocoa happily jumped into the water and swam, using her twin tails as propellers. We were following suit after we removed our clothes. However, Valeria turned back and said that she was going to hunt another boar.

“Hold on! We don’t need another boar. There’s still half of its carcass left.” I grabbed her shoulder from behind.

“It’s hot… It might rot soon.” She answered. Hmm, she may be right.

“We’ll go together after this.” Lilith helped me persuade.

“I’ll put on a swimsuit.” Valerie gave another excuse and try to run back to our camp, but my grip on her shoulder was still firm.

“We are all girls, let’s do it naked together.” I persuaded her again with a bright smile, trying to lure her to the dark side.

“But I’m a man!” She yelled again.

“I’m sorry to tell you this. But there is no turning back. You see, I’m also an outsider. And I accidentally went back to my previous world, but my body wasn’t changed back.” I told her what happened on the night after the flying snow rabbit storm. After pondering for a bit about the information, she sighed then she obediently undressed, and followed me into the crystal clear pond water.

I hoped to play around with them more, like washing each other, feel each other’s body up, and complimenting each other’s bodies like what I saw in anime. But Valerie kept nagging me about how to get back to Earth. So, I told her what I knew.

I also told Valeria a bit about the ins and outs of being a girl in this world instead. My favorite place to buy panties, for example. But when I was about to tell her about an 18+ website which I recently discovered, Mickie and Lilith wanted to know more about the ‘Earth’ where we came from. So, I let Valerie explain for a change while I was busy rescuing Cocoa because her tails were cramping while swimming.

“The water was too cold.” That was her excuse. It was really hard to believe that she was the oldest girl in the group. She should know better and do some warm up exercises before jumping in. Wait, tail exercises? Hmm, I wanted to see one. Maybe I should also invent one for her.

Anyways, from what I heard from Valerie’s story, it seemed that she came to this world about four years after I ate those instant noodles. I think it has only been a month in this world. And Barbara… wait how old was she when I was still there? Hmmm, maybe the time flow between this world and my old world was different. Or rather this transportation thing wasn’t bound by the usual time flow.

“Anyways, who’s this Natalya that you were screaming about last night?” Lilith suddenly said just as I was about to ask about which game or story that she got her body from.

“My little sister… dead.” Valerie answered in a gloomy mood. Damn, my chance to ask her about it was gone.

“...Sorry. Hey! Kuro also mumbled about a girl in her sleep. Sarah, right? Did you also lose someone close to you?” Lilith visibly tried to lift up Valerie’s mood by moving the topic to my side.

“Well, no, she was an actress in a telemarketing show.” I answered honestly.

““...”” Everyone went silent.
