"So that means you can have children (and you will)!
The day when the knight candidate, Cutlass-Mutran, became aware of his gender.
This was the result of a two-hour discussion in a brain conference with his other personality - Fynn.
...... No, no, I want you to hold on a moment, sir. Fynn.
What is wrong with you, Cutlass?
The two of them are in the house that Cutlass used to live in.
Across the dining room table, Cutlass and Fynn are facing each other.
Of course, this is an image in my brain and the real Cutlass is asleep.
After "Arujidono" made him realize his identity, the shock of it made Cutlass pass out.
According to Fynn, Arujidono carried him back to the inn.
Cutlass's other personality, Fynn, also fell asleep and the two of them were having a meeting in their brains.
Arujidono put me to bed and covered me with a blanket. ......
When I heard that story, I was so happy I almost cried.
I had caused so much trouble. Arujidono had no reason to save me.
We have to decide what to do from now on so that Arujido won't cause any more trouble to us.
I know. Cutlass. I know that you and I are the same.
"If you understand, I want you to put your clothes on!
By the way, Fynn, sitting across the table from me, was completely naked.
No, it's okay. It's just me!
But after knowing that it's a girl, to see every inch of her body, it's very...
Ha, it's embarrassing. At least you can wear your underwear!
Huh. I can't do that.
Why, sir?
It's because Cutlass has come to realize he's a girl.
Then Fynn poked Cutlass in the forehead.
'So I have to be fiercely aware that I'm a girl to come out of it. Well, I'm going to fuse into you eventually.
Hence, total nudity.
This seemed to be Feen's non-negotiable claim.
You can't help but wonder what if he really just likes being naked - Cutlass couldn't help but think, but decided to put it aside for now.
...... If that's the case, it can't be helped.
That's right. Aunji has already seen every inch of you.
Na──────!
Turning bright red, Cutlass slumped over with his head in his hands.
When did that happen! Oh, my God, Finn, what did you...!
No, sir. Fynn has been following me all along: .......
He doesn't want me to know that Cutlass is a girl.
He helped me to be the person my mother wanted me to be.
I was grateful, but I didn't blame her. But you'll wear your clothes in front of me.
We must continue, sir. Fynn.
Cutlass took a deep breath and sat back in his chair.
'So, Cutlass, what do you want to do now?'
Fynn asks me with his cheek.
'It is impossible to take the knight exam this year ......
Cutlass' conclusion is set in stone.
He is, in fact, the bastard son of the current king. The current king's bastard son, the so-called illegitimate child.
To go out on the public stage in that state - honestly, it's frightening.
A chill runs through Cutlass' body as he realizes how dangerous a position he was in. You can't thank Arujidono enough. If Arujidono hadn't made me aware of my identity, I don't know what would have happened .......
Cutlass hugged himself.
The trembling still hasn't stopped.
There was no way he was going to be able to go and take the exam like this.
And ...... the caravan that was supposed to accompany you has already gone, so...
'But it doesn't change the fact that you long for a knight, does it?
Of course. It was my mother's wish to be knighted, but I was the one who longed for the honorable thing called knighthood.
I remember. The stories of the many knights that called to him when he was little.
From that time on, Cutlass had long since chosen his own path.
'You don't have to be qualified to be a knight, but you can do the knightly thing. I don't care if you are an adventurer or not. I want to be the one who saves people.
But you're not experienced enough.
I know that, Fynn. That's why I want to be around to learn how to be a knight in shining armor.
What does he look like, exactly?
'Yes, sir. He was always natural, unadorned, kind to his slaves, and not proud of what he did. You gently guide the girl who doesn't know her true identity, and you don't ask for a modest reward. Just the kind of person who is there just as it is - that's the ideal!
You look like a certain type of person.
Of course it is, sir!
Well, I think I'm the one that Cutlass deserves to serve with everything he's got.
Does Fynn agree with you?
Because all she asked for was for me to get my name.
In a daze, Fynn held his bare chest.
Cutlass's chest felt hot, too. Because the body is the same.
'You said you didn't want the 'royal coin'. "You said you didn't want the 'royal coin,' but your mother 'pretended' I wasn't there, and she gave me a name.
You are a wonderful man, sir!
Utterly, I can't think of a better person for Cutlass to serve.
"The slaves love you, sir.
'Yes. 'You'll understand if you're a cutlass who's aware of 'girl', won't you?'
"Yes. The way you look at me is like a maiden in love.
So, I guess that means Cutlass is going to be working for a certain someone now.
Of course, sir. I have no objection to it, sir!
That's what I'm thinking. That sounds like you.
We are the same person!
Shush.
They held each other's hands tightly over the table.
Although neither Cutlass nor Fynn were aware of it, the integration of their personalities had gone remarkably smoothly through this brainstorming session.
At the center of it all is "Arujidono".
Arujido strengthens the awareness of the "boy" personality of Cutlass as a "girl" and the "girl" personality of Fiend strengthens the synchronization with Cutlass through her gratitude and loyalty to Arujido.
''You've decided on your future plans. So, what about your dreams of becoming a knight?
The dream of being an official knight is for children, my dear.
...... like your mother did?
No way.
Cutlass shook his head.
'I will teach him that knights are wonderful things, but I will leave it up to him to choose.
'But wouldn't a child naturally choose that path if he or she had a knightly soul close by?
...... I'd be happy if that were the case. So, I think that I can say that Arujidono is the best role model for children.
...... I wish I could show my children how to live their lives.
And having children helps bring Bok and Fynn together.
What do you mean? Cutlass.
I'm a girl, and I'll always know I'm a girl if I have a child, right? Then I will be a complete 'girl' in time!
'I see! That's me (Cutlass). Great idea!
In other words, if you have a child with Arujido, our dreams will come true.
It was a loop.
Two hours of brainstorming.
The conclusions always end up in the same place.
But Cutlass sees Fynn in front of him and thinks.
The body of a girl who, until a few moments ago, thought she was a boy.
She has no breasts, and her waist is not that thin.
I'm sure you've never taken care of your skin, and your hair is too short for a girl.
And besides, I don't even know how to make a child - I have no idea how to make a child.
Oh, I know that.
"I don't want it to be so easy for you to solve... Oh, no. I'm still upset, so please don't let Feen's knowledge slip through my fingers...!
And while he's at it, Cutlass looks into Fynn's memories.
Just the way children are made.
And how Fynn has been hiding the fact that Cutlass is a 'girl' until now.
The reactions of his body. How to use it. All sorts of things. And other things.
All of these things entered his mind at once, and Cutlass turned bright red and puffed up on the table with a "blah, blah, blah, blah".
...... I'm not sure I'm ready to have children yet.
'Yes. And I suppose we can't ignore the thoughts of the other slaves, either.
That's right: ......
Cecil, the little dark elf.
Rita, with her supple, girlish body.
Sometimes I hear a voice, but I don't know who it is.
I can't have a child with you all, sir.
It's really nice of you all.
That's right: ......
Cutlass and Fynn each sighed.
'I guess I should ask you slaves to teach me a lesson here.
What do you mean, Fynn?
'Hey Cutlass. For example, what if there's something you don't know about knights?
Of course, you'll have to ask your teacher or your seniors... haha!
Cutlass's eyes widened.
'Yes, it is. Why didn't you realize how simple this was!
Yes. We can ask all the other slaves to teach us a lesson. Tell them what we want and then tell them how they can have children with us. How is everyone else doing?
It's great, Finn. That's me.
You're doing a fine job of figuring that out, Cutlass.
In the end, Cutlass and Fynn - the two of them alone in a brainstorming session - came to a conclusion after about two hours. At the same time, the integration of their personalities progressed rapidly, but...
Cutlass, of course, and Feine's knowledge of 'girls' is halfway there in the end, and he has no idea how the others are doing - and he has no idea what the others are doing.
"Arujidono", "Arujidono", "...... (pop)
The method of approaching Nagi, the central point (the trigger), still seems to be incomplete.
And then...
"Please, I beg of you, Arujidono. Please, Arujidono, I want you to join our party!
Okay.
Cutlass-Mutran, the Unseen Knight, has joined our ranks!
From Nagi's point of view.
So that's why.
Cutlass-san woke up, but he still looked unsteady, so I decided to have him rest at the inn for a while.
I went to the "Wings of the Heavenly Dragon" again to make sure that the white people were no longer there.
I bought dinner and went back to the inn, including Cecil and Rita, and listened to Cutlass-san's story - but for some reason, in the middle of it, Cecil and the others said, "I think it's better to keep the girls alone from here on out! 'Oh, please master. The flow of the future is dangerous, ooohhhh," so I decided to have the three of us talk in a separate room (a room I took in Cutlass-san's name).
Well, as long as Cecil and Rita are with us, it should be fine.
'Hmm. It's a shame.
The only person left in my room is Reggie, who has been in human form for some time now.
She put her ears against the wall and let out an eerie breath, mmmmmmmmmm, mmmmmm.
''──If you talk to me about that guy's problems, they would be solved in an instant.
You can't. I mean, I didn't even know my gender until just now.
For over a decade, Mr. Cutlass and Fynn have been doing separate personalities.
Well, it's not going to change in an instant.
Unless you're really desperate.
Let's just take some time to work this out and see where it takes us.
And the Lord is going to help you with that?
Hmm? Yeah, it's like a friend. Of course.
I don't know. Are you doing it for real? Are you doing it for real?
What's that?
Answer the question. The Lord will help that bok choo-choo girl with whatever she needs to do to solve her problems, won't he?
Not that I'm saying anything.
At least as long as it doesn't cost too much or is too dangerous.
I'll help you out as much as I can.
When I say that, Leggy said...
Mm-hmm. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...!
That's why it's creepy. The way you laugh.
'What a delicious situation! I had no idea that that knight girl was such a delicious character! I did not see that coming. Alright. I will do my best, too.
You know what?
And stop jumping around in bed. You'll get dusty.
For now, I've decided to leave Reggie alone and make plans for tomorrow.
We're just going back to Ilgafa, though. The problem is Cutlass-san.
He - or she who was not him - will have to dress as a knight for a while.
The High Spec Pickpocket Squad is looking for the girl with the Royal Coin... The probability of Mr. Cutlass being caught in that net is low, but we can't be too careful.
However, if she continues to dress as a man as she's doing now, she should be able to fool their eyes.
After we reach Irgafa, we'll take him back to our house. In the meantime, if Cutlass-san decides on a course of action, we'll cooperate with him and send him off, I guess.
The only thing I'm worried about is the balance between Cutlass and his other personality, Fynn, by continuing to dress as a man - but I'm not sure if it will be a problem. She can play the girl as much as she wants while she's with us.
I can faintly hear girl talk in the next room. I don't know what they're talking about, but the fact that Reggie's smirking at me makes it sound like it's not a bad thing.
For today, I'll leave Mr. Cutlass to Cecil and Rita, who are professional girls, to take care of him. I've told them to come back to the room if anything happens to them.
I'll get my stuff ready and turn out the lights.
Leggy slipped into the bedroom, and we cuddled up close, our backs pressed together, and decided to go to sleep.
And the next day.
We left the town in the carriage as planned.
Me and Cecil went to Goshadai. Rita and Mr. Cutlass are in the carriage.
Everyone....their eyes are a little red, but they look fine.
But ............ the three of us are all glancing at each other with glazed eyes and that is why... why?
'What kind of girl talk did you have yesterday ......?'
Oh, my God!
Next to me, Cecil's body jumps with a jolt.
I'm going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get the best out of it.
It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them.
...... chouai...sumba...me?
I couldn't hear it well because of the sound of the carriage.
Then I can't use 'Consciousness Sharing (Mind Linkage)' to make the conversation smoother──I guess I can't do that either.
If I used the normal version of "Consciousness Sharing", "Consciousness Sharing and Reform" would be disabled and the link with Iris would be broken. I'm out of range here, but I want to keep the communication going.
'If it's Iris, it's ...... yeah. I'm sure they'd figure out a way to communicate with you just in case.
I pulled the reins and stopped the carriage.
"Nagi-sama?
Rita, come with me. I need some help with something.
I get out of the carriage and call Rita.
Sometimes it's just in case.
There aren't many ways for Iris and the others to contact me without using the Consciousness Sharing Program. Even sending a letter to them would take time. If it was an emergency, they would take other methods.
For example, you could ask the flying dragon to do it.
I'm giving Iris the Flying Dragon's Garfe 'Blood Crystal'.
If Iris were to call Garphe to contact us, it would be at this location.
The place where we fought the Garfe, there is a good chance that she will drop something here.
"Rita, look for the scent of Iris, Aine and Rafilia. If not, so be it. Let's keep moving.
I'll take care of it. How could I have missed the scent of a little girl?
Rita's beast ears twitched.
She waved her thin arms and started to run. She kicked more rocky ground and jumped.
Rita spun around neatly in the air and grabbed the small plank that was stuck in the tree.
'Oh no. It's really there. Master ...... amazing.
'The great ones are Rita and Iris. I wasn't really expecting to find them either.
'Nope. My master knows what it's like to be a slave, and he's ...... amazing.
Rita looks at me with a twinkle in her eye for some reason.
'Yeah. I guess I'll just have to go with the order I decided on yesterday. ...... If I'm the first, I'll get a lot of ...... nagging, and then I'll be ...... nymphetically. ...... First of all, I'm going to kill you with Cecil's pussy at ...... Nagi's ...... place... ...for more information: ......
Yes?
Whaaaaaaaaat?
Bollocks, Rita turned bright red and winced, holding her ears.
'Hey, it's nothing. It's nothing.
No, it's nothing, is it?
After all, everyone's reaction has been strange since this morning.
"I questioned the master's authority. I'm going to ask you to tell me what you talked about yesterday on Girl Talk...
But first, the letter from Iris and the others.
I looked at the board in my hand.
The initials of Iris, Aine and Rafilia are written on it. It's definitely a letter from the three of them. The letter is about the knighthood exam. It refers to the man who is the supervisor.
According to the three men's research, the deadline for the knight examinations has been extended by a few days. According to the three investigators, the deadline for the knighthood examinations has been extended by a few days so that they can test the candidates.
They say there's a legend, told only among knights.
Those who aspire to become knights are tested by a knight in jet black armor.
To tell the truth, regardless of whether you are a knight candidate or an adventurer, they can cut you down without question...?
All of them! Alert the perimeter!
I yelled.
"Rita. Listen closely. Listen for someone approaching on horseback. Cecil readied the ancient language magic! Ready to intercept at any time! Mr. Cutlass, defend yourself! We're leaving now!
'Master, I hear the sound of hooves!
You're early.
Rita has her hands over her beast ears, focusing on the sounds around her.
"It's coming this way. But this direction is up... on the rocky mountain!
We all looked up at once.
The rocky mountain around where we had fought the flying dragon Garfe before.
On top of that, a knight in jet black armor was looking down at us from atop his horse.
''I can smell a potential knight.''
In a faint voice, the knight said
'The scent of an honorable man aiming to be a knight. The scent of the knightly and noble, the breath of the knightly and noble. It is the sweetest thing I have ever desired.
When we heard that voice, which seemed to come from the depths of the darkness...
「「「「「 The pervert is here...! 」」」」」
Immediately in a great hurry - the carriage was launched at full speed.
