Black Haired King

"... here, what?

When I woke up, it was a familiar ceiling. A place with a qualitative atmosphere but very easy to spend. This is my room at the wind chime pavilion. I wonder why you're here. Certainly to the crusade of Cocatrice...... Huh!

My body shook up when I remembered that time. What comes to mind is the appearance of Cocatrice cut in Tosaka in front of me.

I check my left arm. I feel a little dull but manage to move. My flank should have been cut, but it doesn't hurt. There is no scar when I touch it.

I wake up and check my body. I don't see any missing places or scratches. When I noticed it, my eyes filled with tears.

I was ready to die then. I didn't think I could help anymore. But it helped. I was saved! I can't stop shaking my body when I think about it, and I can't stop crying.

... right! I wonder what happened to Redius? What about Lopo? Ledius must have carried me here. [M]

Wipe the tears in your eyes and I'll leave the room. Because it's been a long time since I've walked, or my feet flutter, but I walk down the stairs along the wall. When I went to the reception, Mr. Mel stood. Mel noticed me approaching. [M]

"Ares! Are you all right now?

"I'm fine now. Stop calling me Ares."

When I say the usual words to Mel, Mel looks at me and looks at me as a nigga. Hey, what is it?

"Ares, have you seen your current outfit?

Your current outfit? I was so happy to be alive that I didn't have time to worry about that. I look at my clothes... woman? All I had in my luggage was a man. Besides, the fact that they're dressed up...

"Because I'm the one who dressed for it, A Les Chans"

I couldn't stop sweating from my face. Mr. Mel has seen me. I've been hiding it.

"Ah! Later, it was you, Redius, who asked Ares to change her clothes"

Ledius found out, too! Rather, it was seen. A man saw me. I can see my face getting hot. [M] Besides, to Redius......

"You don't have any body, do you? I can't believe I suppress and hide such a feminine breast (...) and pretend to be a man"

"Ohhhhhhh! Meh, Mel! Don't say any more!

There's no point in hiding it! I rush to hold Mel's mouth. Mr. Mel sounds bitter and jittery, but you can't let anyone else find out.

"That's more than that, Mr. Mel. Where is Redius!?

I was holding back. Get your hands off me and ask Mr. Mel where Ladius is. I can't breathe, Mr. Mel.

"Lady, you're waving your sword behind the wind pavilion. Lopo's with you."

"Thank you, Mr. Mel!

I'll be right back. [M] When I met May on the way, May even niggered me.... I don't have to say it though. He said he'd come back with that in mind.

"Shit! Ha! Shh!"

There was a look of Redius waving his sword with a very serious look. Swing it down from top to bottom and cut it up to keep it flowing. Cut diagonally and swing backwards.

...... cool. I know because I can use a few swords too, but Redius' sword moves feel like some kind of chig hug. But it's not weird, it meshes a little bit, and you say it's working.

But Redius waving his sword with a serious look is cool. Oh, no! When I get close enough to stay out of the way,

"Gu!"

Lopo noticed and stopped by. He came to my feet and rubbed my body against the rind. Lovely. Lopo's circular eyes and my gaze.

"... are you awake, Ares"

and a voice is spoken to by Redius. Looking at Redius looks awkward somewhere.

"Ugh, yeah. Thank you for helping me. You carried me this far, didn't you?

"... oh"

... the conversation doesn't continue. I was wondering what I was going to do.

"Shall we go inside? Sometimes it's hard to talk about here."

and Redius suggested it to me. So is that. I told you about me. [M] There's no big reason to say that.

"Yeah. Right. Then let's go to my room."

That's how I led Redius to my room. [M]

◇ ◇ ◇

It's been three days since I came back to the city. Now I'm in Ares' room. Ares sits back in bed, and I sit in a chair. Lopo is on the floor.

After defeating Cocatrice, Lopo rushed back with Ares on his back. But I was really surprised when I tried to get Ares to change her clothes.

Because it came with something that couldn't have been, and there was something that had to be. There were a lot of things that seemed strange to me right now.

The face was originally female, and there was something exciting about it. Smiles are adorable. Then the reaction when you saw me naked in the river. It's certainly not strange for a woman to react like that.

"Uh, what do we talk about from?

Thinking of it that way, Ares says as she leans her neck so tightly. Now Ares has her hair untied and her clothes are women. Of course I'm not wearing anything to hold my chest down. I didn't know when I was holding it down, but there's also a women-specific bulge. I knew it.

"Then why did he say he was a man?

I'm most concerned about this. And the answer to that came back.

"It's not a big reason. My father was just trying to raise me as a man."

and speaks with a bitter laugh. When asked in detail, they say Ares' real name is Arestina. Says she is the only daughter of the Baron family in Wang Du. I heard about it, so I tried to keep my head down.

"No, don't! He says the Baron's house, but he's noble because he's your father and I'm just your daughter."

and stick your hands forward and shake them. Then I'll deal with it the way I've always done. I can't be a man, though.

"As is often the case, your father wanted a boy, but I was the only one born from your mother. I can't even make a concubine because I don't have the money. I think that's why you wanted to raise me as a boy when I was a little girl."

Ares says with a laugh that I found out, but it was a heavier story than I thought. But isn't it impossible that it's an aristocratic society?

"More than that, Cocatrice failed, didn't she? Sorry. Because of me..."

and a sad look on his face. Why are we talking like that?

"You seem to be mistaken, but you haven't failed."

"What?"

I'll go back to my room and grab a wooden box. Inside the wooden box is a cure for stone dermatosis. Look at that. Ares now has a surprise look on his face.

"Here, what is this?"

"It's a cure for stone skin disease. I know a branch manager at the Chamber of Commerce. I had a pharmacist from an acquaintance of the person make it. They healed with that one, but they made another one for me in the spare. They say if you paint that where it's mutating, it'll heal. That should help Ares' mother."

I'm talking, but Ares is staring at the wooden box and doesn't move. Well, isn't that impossible? Because you have what you've been looking for.

"Oh, thank you, Redius. Not only did you save my life, but you took me down to Cocatrice."

Looking at Ares, Ares said so and began to tear in tears.

"Don't cry. That's what you threw the party about, isn't it? I had a good experience with this one, too. Wouldn't that be nice? Huh?"

When I say that, Ares shakes her head vertically over and over again. Totally. He said I was laughing.

"Thank you, Redius!

And I hugged him. Hey, hey! Ares comes with a hug when it feels so good. I even hugged him when the party was set.

But unlike then, I was a woman now. I know, so it helps a little. I was going to stroke Ares' head in tears.
