"... How many are you? What the hell. Bad jokes, huh?

The ethereal reaction to my confession was subtle.

... Well, you will.

Neither do I think it would be so easy to accept a story without such a thump.

"It will be a long story, shall we continue in the Ethereal Room?"

I take off my shoes and enter the house on the edge of the Ethereal House without waiting for Ethereal Response. It's someone else's house.

"Hey...... you............!?

I turned down the hallway as I remembered, and opened the palace of the Ethereal Room that lay ahead.

"……… It doesn't change."

A bed and a study desk in a tatami room, then a bookshelf and a cupboard. It was so novel that there was a poster on the wall of a Gravy Idol swimsuit, and the Ethereal Room was a landscape as I remember it.

"Don't go into another person's house……………………."

When I was watching as I gave up my room, Ethereum caught up with me and complained.

"I've never given you permission to enter an ethereal room before, have I?

"In the first place, Alice never walked into my room...?

Listening to the word of the Lord in the room, I entered the Ethereal Room and stomped down on the bed.

Ethereum, who continued to come in, sits in the study desk chair. This was our fixed position.

"I miss you... I haven't changed much since I was a few."

It makes my nose smell a little like a man I didn't care about before. But it immediately stopped bothering me and it smelled rather nostalgic and reassuring.

"That again. Don't make fun of me by changing my tone. I have a good joke to say and a joke that isn't... because if you don't, you're gonna get mad."

Ethereal tone was serious. He thinks he made fun of me.

"Thanks for being so angry...... but sorry. I've been cheating on you for so long."

I continue to confess to spitting out what was accumulating in the back of my chest.

"At first, he made an excuse that he didn't want to break the relationship between Ethereum and Cool Flowers, but I still think he was scared. Because Ethereum was my best friend. I don't know what to do if they reject me now that I've even changed my appearance and gender..."

That way, while I was dealing with Ethereum as Alice, the lies were piling up and making it unnecessarily difficult to talk. If it hadn't been spotted by jade, I don't even know if I would have had the courage to reveal who I am this way.

I'm still scared to be honest.

"…… you, are you serious?

You didn't sound like you were making fun of my tone on the boulder, Ethereum asks me what I say.

"Mr. Ikto, if you don't mind, may I explain the situation to Mr. Aether?

That's where Alicia put out her help boat.

I decided to ask Alicia to explain the story to me, sweet as a favor. Connect the conversation with Ethereum.

Nice to meet you. My name is Alicia.

Though Ethereum was surprised at Alicia's readings at first, she has been calmly listening to Alicia since then.

"A few went to different worlds and fought against the Demon King as a brave man, but Alicia said she moved her soul to her daughter's body and came back to this world... you want me to believe that story?

Ethereal seems to be confused by stories that don't even clap suddenly.

"My situation is exactly as Alicia told me. I didn't lie."

"It's hard to believe, to be honest. So, can I ask you a few things that only a few of you should know to make sure?

"I don't mind. What am I supposed to answer from? The title of the first porn book Ethereum picked up in Back Mountain? The color of the pants of the girl you like best in ethereal? Or where in the bookshelf are you hiding your porn books......?

I say so and gaze at the top shelf of the bookshelf.

A boxed encyclopedia set in the back of the top shelf if it's not different from before. The original contents have been turned into cardboard, and the contents should have been turned into a treasure of Ethereal Reserve.

"Ohh, okay. You decide to believe that even a few of you... so it's okay."

Ethereum responded while holding his temples.

"Besides, if you're a few, it explains the discomfort you sometimes felt... maybe Emerald knew about you?

"……… Ah."

"... so. Youna and Emerald were quickly recovering from the death of several people... So I'm the only one of the four childhood tamers who didn't know?"

"Chi, no! I didn't mean to be out of company... I really didn't mean to talk to anyone but my family, but Emerald found out who I was..."

"... I didn't think you were so flirtatious. We're like family, aren't we? You thought we were gonna tell someone that we were gonna do you a disservice."

"That's not why……………"

There are many reasons why I didn't talk to you.

About the cool flowers, about how you feel about me in jade.

Besides, when I told her who I was, I thought that if I was going to screw up like I've never been able to, I might as well start a new relationship as Alice.

But those are all my circumstances, and I don't take the emotions of the Ethereals into account.

"Do you have any idea how heartbroken we are by your death?

They remind me of you two at my funeral, and I get the thought of my chest tightening.

"If you'd stayed a man, I'd have beaten you up."

"…… that's how ready I am. I don't mind you hitting me."

"It's a bit of a beating for you right now."

Though I didn't think I could be in the exact same relationship as before, I was just dressed to be poked at it. I think I'm lonely just because I know what it's like to be a little hesitant to raise my hand to a woman.

"... well, fine. Anyway, if you came home safe, so be it."

"... you forgive me?

"There is nothing to forgive or not to forgive. I told you earlier, didn't I? We're not in this relationship."

"... Ethereal"

My heart gets hot.

Ethereum is, after all, my best friend.

"After all, is there anything I can do to apologize? I'll do anything."

"You, don't feel comfortable telling me to do anything with that body. It's okay because it's me, but I don't even know if they do something like porn comics...?

"I'm only going to say this to the pale... and it would be nice to have a little porn. Touch your chest……………"

"Well, I wouldn't do that... basically, that body belongs to Alicia, right? You shouldn't let them touch you."

"That's right. Sorry..............."

If they say so, yes. I was too familiar with this body and my awareness of Alicia's body had recently become thinner.

"I'm sorry about Alicia..."

I don't care, do I? Like I always say, that body already belongs to Mr. Ikto. If you want to be married to Mr. Ethereum and have a baby, I don't mind...?

"No, I'll take care of it… I'm not serious, so give me a break"

I'm not a faggot.

He thinks it's okay if he does something horny for a little while, because he knows how much we wanted it and he knows it, so it's like imposing it on someone who doesn't have it.

I didn't say no to wanting to distract you.

"I can't do it either. No matter how cute they are, there are a few of them..."

... but when they say it out to that point, it's kind of not funny.

"I was just in the habit of eating all that in my pants..."

"Damn, that's because I didn't know how many of you were!?

"So if you find out it's me in there, you're not interested in my pants anymore?

"Grr, that is………….."

I know. Apart from the contents and all that, it's the sad man's sex "saga" that I want to see the girl's pants for now.

"As I said earlier, if you honestly want to see it, you can show it to me......?

I can see Ethereum drinking Gokuri and spit.

Some women's skirts are packed with men's dreams. I remember talking to Ethereum about that.

Plus, uniforms.

Only the most familiar outfit in our everyday lives is devastating when we turn to porn. I know it's subtle that the contents are best friends of the former man, but visual pornography should have a hard charm to resist.

"... I want to see it"

…… why salute.
