Chapter 18
Royalty
-Kakuto/Mina-
"Who are you?"
Hana looked at me with a frightened face.
"I'm Mina?"
"What is this boy doing here?"
Victoria answered nonchalantly. Eh? What does she mean?
"Seriously, who are you? You're not Mina, right?"
"But, I am! I am Mina! What are you guys talking about!?"
"Mina isn't a boy, you know."
Eh? I'm a boy? Really? Did my gender somehow changed back?
My hair was shorter than before. I touched my ears, they were the same saize, but still pointy. I looked down at my hands, to see that they are a little bit bigger than before, same for my legs. I did not have any bust on my chest. I felt my 'thing' there. My size didn't change at all, so I should be a shota now.
Did I really change back into a boy? I somehow felt glad about it.
Damn, does that mean I will have to explain to them about my identity? Maybe Victoria is just messing with me, but looking at her expression, it looks like she has no idea as well.
Hang on, did I really change gender by coincidence? Or is there a reason for it?
I got a feeling it might be a new skill.
Let's check.
{Future Saviour of Ayashi}
Grants humanoid form to the user when MP is at least above half the maximum MP. Active for 80 hours maximum before cooldown. An hour uses 1 MP. Cooldown time reduces when near a source of water. Allows gender change.
So this is the cause. Does that mean I can change my gender whenever I want? Nice!
I better clear the misunderstanding first of all.
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
I activated the title, and hair hair suddenly grew to my waist, my bone structure changed, I grew two small plumps on my chest and my 'thing' disappeared. Although I feel glad that my manhood is back, It's weird that I can get it back whenever I want.
Then would I be able to have the best of both worlds?
Stop it brain, stop it. Don't think of unnecessary thoughts right now.
"Is that really you, Mina?"
Victoria questioned me.
"Yes, it's me, who else do you think it is?"
She walked towards me, while I was still on the floor, unable to move.
She hugged me.
"Wha-!"
"I'm glad you are safe, Mina. But it seems that your chest grew, huh. I'm jealous."
She tried to fondle my chest, but Hana stepped in and stopped her.
"No! Don't tease Mina!"
Victoria stood back in surprise.
"She's mine!"
Eh?
Hana hugged me the same way as Victoria did.
What is happening!?
"Eh, no fair. I want to hug Mina as well."
Victoria sulked, but with that kind of 'I-want-to-tease-them-more' face, I don't want to think of what she might do to us.
"Ahem, it seems that you have a lot to explain, Mina, or should I say, Kakuto?"
Ah, I forgot about her.
"Okay, I'll explain everything, but you will also have to explain everything as well, Risha."
"Fine.
----------------------------------------
When Kakuto was at Machi's house and was on the way to find Machi, he spotted the soul with a red aura staying static beside Hana.
He concluded that that soul was a special existence, and decided to talk to it.
Activating [Soul Seeker], he spoke to the soul.
"Umm, hello?"
"Wha-! You can speak to me?"
"Yes, apparently. May I know your name?"
"Err, I'm Risha?"
"Okay Risha, I'll be blunt. Are you related to the girl over here?"
"Yes, I am."
"Do you know who Machi is?"
"Yes, I live with her, so of course I know her!"
"You do? Then it makes things easier. Do you mind telling me about her current situation?"
"Yes."
After Risha explained to Mina about Machi and her transformation skill,
"Okay, I got the jist of it."
"Please save her! I beg you!"
"Okay, I promise. Say, I am able to send you to be reincarnated, do you want me to do so?"
"Hmm, I don't really want to, as I want to look after my family, even if I am in this state."
"Well then, let me ask you a question. Are you strong?"
"Yes."
"Good. Then I should be able to bring you along."
"Really?"
"You filled the conditions for me to be able to bring you along, although as a familiar. I am able to grant you a body to protect your family. Will you accept?"
"Gladly."
Mina then reached out her hands towards the soul, bring it closer to her.
The soul was sucked and disappeared into her hands.
A leaf with a red fire insignia appeared on Mina's dress.
"Now you are my familiar, so you should be able to follow me."
"Okay."
Mina then took Hana by piggybacking and took off towards where Machi went.

-Kakuto/Mina-
"And that's the elaborated story of how I met Risha."
"That was a very blunt way of talking, dosen't sound like you at all."
Victoria said with a sarcastic tone.
Affterwards, I talked about my past life before I came to this world, what happened to me and my duty that I have to do.
"And as for my sudden gender change, apparently I can now become a male as well."
"Ooooh."
All the girls stared at me with sparkling eyes.
W-what is this? Why do I feel something bad is going to happen?
"CHANGE TO A GUY, PLEASE!"
Eeeeh?
