Chapter 141: Well, in return, after this... he’s sent to hell

Right after it became ground combat, the shockwave the griffin released had blown away trees over a wide range in the forest, Kazui remembered.

(Come to think of it, around there felt like a place the side path passed...)

Apparently the side path being crushed was because of the ground combat of himself and the griffin, Kazui sensed.

Actually just as Kazui sensed, the side path was crushed by the griffin’s shockwave.

"I’ll... go help. Probably the side path being crushed is because me and the griffin fought on the ground."

When Kazui stood, Tint also stood.

"Then I’ll go too. Against the griffin I couldn’t be useful, so I have to contribute somewhat."

"I’ll go too."

Saying that, Yuri started getting up.

"Only me left out, I’m in trouble."

Further, Nora who had recovered consciousness at some point also started getting up.

"Nora was awake too."

After raising a surprised voice, Kazui proposed to Nora and Yuri.

"Wouldn’t it be better for the two of you to rest?"

At Kazui’s words, Tint nodded.

"Moving the body returns condition better."

Following Yuri, Nora returned words.

"Yeah, resting is worse for the body."

Thus it was decided Kazui and the others four would participate in the repair work of the crushed side path.

Leaving the tent, toward where the male voice seeking help with repair came from, the four walked while exchanging small talk.

Then the four performed civil engineering work unlike adventurers, the repair work of the side path, and greeted dawn.

Around dawn the side path repair and truck repairs also ended.

The caravan party, after taking breakfast, departed the campsite.

The line of trucks started running toward Aquila on the road in the forest lit by the morning sun.

Most people were rejoicing at surviving while encountering the griffin, so the whole caravan going through the forest was a bright atmosphere.

Except only one, Kazui who was completely sunk.

Just having to have sex with a man... Yuri from now, Kazui was already dispirited.

On top of that, the unease that if unlucky heat might happen before arriving at Aquila, Kazui was also carrying.

Kazui completely sinking could be called obvious.

(At least until arriving at Aquila, please don’t let heat start!)

On the shaking truck bed, while continuing to watch the surroundings, Kazui prayed in his heart.

Already six hours had passed since using Leonization.

Carrying Kazui for whom it would not be strange whenever heat started, the truck ran through the forest.

Under a refreshing blue sky, toward Aquila.

A sound of a shower similar to the sound of pouring rain was echoing inside the bathroom.

Hot water of a moderate temperature roughly washed away the sweat and dirt of Kazui’s body.

Where Kazui was was the dwelling of the apartment he rented together with Yuri... in other words the current home’s bathroom.

The shower hot water striking the skin loosened Kazui’s tired body like a massage.

Stopping the shower, reaching a hand to the bottle of liquid soap that doubled as shampoo and body soap, Kazui took an appropriate amount in his palm.

After lathering in his palm and attaching it to hair and body, Kazui started washing hair and body.

First finishing washing his hair normally, Kazui reached a hand to his body.

Then Kazui ended up feeling intense discomfort.

(There’s something that isn’t usually there, and something that is there isn’t, so it feels really strange.)

The current Kazui’s body was in a state different from usual.

There was a swell of the chest that should not be there, and the thing that should be there was not at the crotch.

(I’m in trouble. I really became a woman.)

Becoming fully naked, touching chest and crotch, Kazui was aware again.

That his own body was really feminized.

After the battle with the griffin too, Kazui in places not catching people’s eyes confirmed the swell of the chest, and when excreting confirmed the crotch.

But confirming partially in a clothed state and confirming the whole in a fully naked state, there was still a difference in the strength of the feeling of having feminized.

(But well, just being able to return home before heat starts, I’ll take as good.)

As if telling himself, Kazui continued.

(If heat started before returning, it would have become something outrageous.)

In the talks heard from Lumia and Yuri, when heat started one wanted unbearably to have sex with a man, and enduring was close to impossible.

Before returning home, if he had gone into heat during movement by truck or in the streets of Aquila, he might have done something outrageous in front of people.

Kazui somehow was able to return home before heat started.

In that sense the worst situation could be said avoided.

The caravan had arrived at Aquila within the morning.

But near the north gate Kazui and the others ended up being made to wait.

Because some contractors’ contract cards could not be found, the adventurers could not exchange contract cards.

In the confusion when receiving the griffin’s attack they were lost, and they noticed after arriving at Aquila.

While the contractors looked for the contract cards, some adventurers ended up being made to wait.

Among those some adventurers, Kazui and Yuri, Tint and Nora were unluckily included.

Kazui who did not know when heat would happen wanted to return home as soon as possible.

But exchanging contract cards the adventurer himself had to do, so Kazui could not ask Yuri to proxy and head home alone.

That was why Kazui ended up exchanging small talk with Yuri and the others and killing time.

The conversation at that time revived in Kazui’s head.

"After this we’re going to the guild hall, but what will you do, Kazu and the others?"

Asked by Tint, Kazui answered with a hurried face.

"I’ll return home quickly and shut in until heat starts."

"Good heat didn’t start before arriving at Aquila."

At Yuri’s words, Kazui returned words.

"Well, regarding that... really, it was good."

"Speaking of good, earning big was good too, wasn’t it?"

The one who asked was Nora.

"True, that might have been good too."

Just as Nora said, Kazui was able to earn big.

The reason he was able to earn big was because Kazui was able to monopolize the rights to the magic stone the griffin left.

The adventurers who participated in the caravan, after discussing, abandoned the rights regarding the griffin’s magic stone and made it so Kazui could obtain everything.

In the guild system, when it became group combat, the profit obtained from magic stones was basically split per head among the adventurers who participated.

But the griffin was practically the same as Kazui defeating alone.

Moreover the compensation of later having an awful time, Leonization, Kazui ended up paying.

That the adventurers understood, and they were grateful their lives were saved by Kazui.

That was why the other adventurers abandoned the rights to the griffin’s magic stone and made it so Kazui could obtain everything.

In the case of a low-level adventurer, selling a magic stone obtained from a three-ring mark monster became a considerable earning.

As a result Kazui entered a state that could be called earning big.

"Well, in exchange after this... I’m dropped into hell."

With a drained face, Kazui muttered.

"If you let me hold you I’ll take you to heaven not hell. After Yuri is fine, so won’t you... try being held by me once too?"

Following casual-toned Tint, Nora opened her mouth.

"Current Kazu, I want to hold too. Kazu who became a woman is insanely my preferred type."

Hearing Nora’s words, Yuri put on a surprised expression.

For form’s sake that Nora was lesbian, Yuri had somehow sensed.

But hearing Nora suddenly make a statement as if having no intention of hiding, Yuri was surprised.

"I’ll teach the fun of woman bodies together, so before returning to a man won’t you let me do it about once?"

"No way!"

Setting male Tint as out of the question, regarding Nora Kazui felt a little like wanting to try.

But if he knew the fun in a woman’s body he felt like later would be scary, so he decided to refuse.
