Ch.34Request, Devil Hunt (2)

Kioni. It’s a country in the north. I don’t think I can give a detailed explanation about Kioni since that’s all I know.

No, I know one more thing now. Seeing that everything around is covered in snow, it seems like it’s winter here.

And I’m currently wearing spring clothes. I guess it makes sense since it’s spring in our country right now.

For reference, Agath and Rebecca are wearing winter clothes. But Leo is wearing spring clothes just like me.

“Why didn’t you tell me it would be cold here?”

“It’s not that cold.”

“You’re saying this isn’t cold?”

“This is actually quite warm.”

So the reason Leo is dressed like that is because he can endure it with his bare body.

So in the end, I’m the only one who didn’t prepare for this climate. If I had known, I would have brought winter clothes too…

…But thinking about it, I don’t have any winter clothes in my closet. The only clothes in there are the ones Agath forced me to buy.

So I didn’t have anything to bring except t-shirts and skirts. Anyway, there’s only one thing for me to do now. Find winter clothes immediately.

“Do you have any spare winter clothes?”

“I do, but they probably won’t fit you. There’s a clothing store nearby though.”

Agath pointed to a store marked on the map.

“But how do we get there?”

The store on the map is quite a distance from the airport. Would it take at least 5 minutes to walk there?

Anyway, going outside the airport in this state? I’d definitely collapse before long.

Even with my previous body, I obviously couldn’t have lasted a minute, so going out with this body? How is that any different from suicide?

“Don’t worry, I’ll buy clothes for you.”

Agath said with a lecherous smile. She’s probably thinking of making me wear girly clothes again.

But it’s winter here. So this time, she’ll have to buy pants instead of a skirt.

“Thank you, I’ll wait here then.”

I’m so happy at the thought of getting out of this damn skirt. Finally, I can wear pants too.

You might ask why I don’t just buy pants myself? Of course I’ve tried. But every time, Agath interfered by reminding me of my 70 million won debt.

But what if Agath buys pants for me herself? Then I can legally wear pants.

While waiting with such pleasant thoughts, Agath returned with armfuls of clothes.

“Here are the clothes. Just wear whatever you like.”

“Yes, thank you. But is there a changing room nearby?”

“There’s one over there. I’ll show you.”

I followed Agath who led the way, and we arrived at the changing rooms. As I was about to enter, Agath suddenly stopped me.

“That’s the men’s changing room!”

“Oh, right. I switched bodies.”

I’m gradually becoming aware that my body has changed, but the habits from my previous life aren’t easy to break.

Anyway, since this body is female, I should go to the women’s changing room…

“…Is there a private changing room I can use alone?”

“Of course not. Just go in there obediently.”

“No… no matter what, my mind is still a man’s, right? So isn’t it wrong for me to go in there?”

“Then are you going to put on a strip show out here? I’m willing to watch, by the way.”

“…Sigh.”

If I go into the women’s changing room and change clothes, my body will be warm, but I’ll feel incredibly embarrassed.

On the other hand, if I don’t change clothes and try to endure, my mind might be at ease, but my body definitely won’t be able to handle it.

In the end, I have no choice but to go in there. I’ll just change as quickly as possible and come out.

So I entered the women’s changing room.

***

Fortunately, there was no one in the changing room. But two terribly big problems arose.

First, Agath followed me into the changing room. Why is this a big problem…

“Why did you come in here?”

“Obviously to watch you change clothes!”

“…Please just leave.”

“This is a public space, how can you kick me out? Just put on your strip show obediently.”

Because there’s absolutely no way to drive Agath out. So that’s why she was smiling lecherously earlier.

And the second problem is far more serious than the first one.

“You’re not telling me to wear a skirt in the middle of winter, are you?”

“That’s a winter skirt, so don’t worry and just wear it.”

“This is a winter skirt?”

For a winter skirt, it’s quite small. It will barely reach my knees. How am I supposed to protect my legs below the knees from the cold?

However, this problem was solved in the worst possible way.

“That’s why I prepared thermal tights for you!”

I naturally thought I would wear pants since it’s winter. But that was all my misunderstanding.

What kind of crazy person would think of wearing a skirt in winter? And what kind of person actually made it possible?

Anyway, once again I couldn’t wear pants.

“…But how do I put on tights?”

“If you can’t put them on, I’ll help you! Though there might be some touching involved. Like touching your legs, or your butt, or even your intimate…”

“It’s okay. I think I roughly know how to put them on now.”

Let’s not overthink this. I’ll just wear them like pants.

While putting on the tights with that thought, Agath spoke with obvious disappointment.

“I really hate whoever invented safety shorts today…”

“I’m really grateful to whoever invented safety shorts today.”

I don’t know about anything else, but safety shorts seem really well-made. Thanks to them, I don’t have to worry about my underwear showing.

After much trouble, I put on the tights and winter skirt. Now I just need to put on the top.

“…Could you look away for a moment?”

“If you grant me one request.”

“If it’s something weird, don’t even bother asking.”

“It’s nothing weird. Just take off all your clothes, including your underwear, in front of me.”

Let’s just change as quickly as possible. That seems to be the answer. My underwear has been seen a few times already anyway, so there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.

***

I realized there’s a huge difference between unintentionally showing something and intentionally showing it.

Anyway, after changing clothes and coming out, I felt very hot. Is it because the clothes are warm? Or because I’m that embarrassed?

Both. I want to die.

As if to mock me, Agath spoke in an excited tone.

“That was really the best. This is enough side dishes for the next three months!”

“You can’t do anything because of your doctrine anyway.”

“…But in my mind, I’ve already violated you thousands of times.”

“Keep thinking that way for the rest of your life.”

Agath stood there blankly with an expression like she’d lost everything, then spoke with difficulty.

“Our gentle Lite has changed after hanging out with that bad pimp…”

“He’s a good kid. The problem is that he’s a bit too good.”

“Are you defending your husband now? Actually, you unconsciously like that boy…”

As always, I summoned a gun, put it to my head, and said:

“Okay, I’ll stop here.”

Maybe because I’ve done this too many times, Agath doesn’t seem as surprised as before. She’s speaking calmly instead.

What if this stops being effective? Then I’ll have no way to keep her on a leash…

Making a mental note to be more careful with my threats in the future, I went back to where the others were.

“I’ve changed. So where do we go now?”

“Just walk north from here a little bit.”

“How long will it take to walk?”

“Not long. About two hours?”

“…Isn’t there any other mode of transportation?”

“There is, but walking is the fastest. So just bear with it a little.”

These people’s physical abilities are overwhelmingly superior to ordinary people. And my physical ability is inferior to ordinary people.

So what’s possible for them is nearly impossible for me.

But if I have to do it, I have to do it. What else can I do…

***

Somehow, we’ve almost arrived. There was a bit of commotion in the middle, but we’ve finally made it.

By the way, I don’t know how I got here. The reason is…

“I’ve never seen someone faint after just 20 minutes of walking. You really need to exercise.”

I fainted and when I regained consciousness, we had already arrived here. Seeing that I was being carried by Leo, it seems he brought me here.

“I used to exercise diligently in the past…”

“Then why don’t you do it now?”

“It’s too heartbreaking to exercise…”

Taking away what was once given is the most wicked thing. Imagine changing from a body that can lift 500 pounds to one that can barely lift 100 pounds.

Even if I steel myself and try to exercise, I get exhausted in less than 10 minutes. Still, if I keep at it, my stamina will improve.

But I don’t think my stamina will ever improve to the level of the people in front of me. That’s why I’ve lost all motivation to exercise.

So I’ve completely given up on exercise.

“You should at least build some basic stamina. This is really too much.”

“But is there any point in exercising now? The Demon King is coming in just three weeks, and I don’t think my stamina will improve dramatically by then.”

“You’re talking like there’s nothing after defeating the Demon King.”

“It’s fine because after defeating the Demon King, I’ll use my wish to get a much stronger body than this.”

While I was talking with Leo, Agath suddenly joined the conversation.

“Wish? What are you talking about?”

“The Goddess said she would grant one wish if we defeat the Demon King.”

“…You’re not planning to wish to return to being a man, are you?”

“Of course that’s what I’m going to wish for.”

After I mentioned the wish I was going to make, Agath started seriously contemplating something.

“Corrupting a female within three weeks… looking at the current trend, it seems possible…”

“That will absolutely never happen.”

“Then I might have to make you a female even if it means breaking the doctrine.”

“…Why are you doing this to me?”

“Because your body is extremely lewd?”

This must be a joke again. Although Agath’s eyes and voice were extremely serious, she’s probably just joking with a straight face.

As we continued chatting and walking, we arrived at a place with shabby tents that clearly looked hastily set up.

“…This isn’t our destination, is it?”

“It is our destination.”

It’s my fault for expecting proper buildings in such an urgent situation.

But the pay is 100 million won. I’ll just have to endure somehow.

And so, life at the shabby temporary base began.
