'I understand! So we can use our magic power to create my body, just like the Black Knight did!
That's Fynn, she's quick to understand.
She's in complete control of the 'Balluar's Breastplate'. She also saw the body that the black knight made out of armor and the black horse made out of magic power.
So it seems that he understood what I wanted to do.
''It's a great idea, as expected of Irujidono.
"How to 'rebuild' and 'recondition' and all that stuff is important to our party,
I know. If we can pull this off, we might be able to serve both myself and Cutlass at the same time!
That's not what I'm talking about!
You can't talk about that kind of thing until after the 'reconditioning' is done.
'So Fynn could make a temporary body out of the 'Balluar breastplate'?
That's right: ......
Fynn put a finger to his lips, as if trying to remember something.
'That black knight had pieced together his own body from armor. The horse, however, was a phony made up of magic. I suppose it's possible to do both of those things if you wanted to.
Such as?
You can make the sheet, the blanket and the pillow into a human shape and call it 'I', and let Aruji do the rest. Or you can use your magic powers to create a human form and 'I' will enter into it - which would be better?
Later.
The front one is indeed too maniacal.
'Okay, I get it. I'll try it: ......
Fynn placed his palm against the center of his breastplate.
He closes his eyes and slowly begins to spin the words.
''──In the name of the nameless princess, I command the ancient relic (artifact)...''
I could see the magical power, like drops of water, flowing out of Fynn's fingertips.
It fell to the breastplate, causing a faint ripple to appear on the surface.
''I am the one without a body. I am the princess's shadow, the one who supports the light.'
The breastplate, which had received a ripple, wavered.
"'My name is Fynn. Part of the Cutlass-Mutrans, the other 'Boku'.
Like ice melting in hot water, smoky magical power gushes out of the breastplate.
It changes shape in the air - it takes on the form of a person.
''It's the breastplate of Balal. Another princess - Fynn's form - here!'
-Gakun.
The moment he finished, Fynn fell on the bed.
At the same time, the girl's body falls from above her head. After being lost for a moment, I received the girl who fell. Feen──Catras' body is cushioned by the blanket and pillow.
And - this one is probably more fragile than the main body.
It's .......
In her arms was a girl with white skin and gray hair.
Her hair was slightly longer than Cutlass'. She has a short cut, but this girl's hair goes below her shoulders.
She's dressed. It's a white nightgown, just like Cutlass'. She's wearing clothes because this is her exclusive 'body'. The fact that she doesn't share it with Cutlass means that she doesn't have to force herself to be a 'girl' and bring herself out of it. I wasn't sure what I would do if she was completely naked, but ...... Well, I guess it's a relief.
'Fynn?'
I called out her name.
"Yes! Aruji. It's Finn!
Fynn opened her eyes with a snap and smiled.
Her eyes are blue-violet in color. They look slightly lifted, maybe it's my imagination, knowing her personality.
She hugs my neck with tears in her eyes.
'It's a temporary body, but I can tell. This is me. This is what Cutlass looked like when she woke up as a full girl. This is what a girl should look like when she wakes up as a girl and gives birth to a child.
...... I didn't know you were planning to do that.
OK, though. I'm already prepared for that part. I'm at the stage where I'm enslaving everyone.
'Arujidono!'
Yes.
"Please pat your head, sir.
Fynn said.
I did.
"It's ...... ehehe,
Fynn took his hand and slowly placed it against his chest.
Through the gap in his nightgown. Behind it.
'It's ...... warm. Besides, there's no way to get away from it now.
I can feel it.
I'm in direct contact with him, and yet he's still conscious. He's right there in front of me.
Maybe it's because Cutlass and Fynn are in different bodies.
Yes. Tentatively, this is my own body. Even if I'm embarrassed, I can't seem to get ...... to switch places. Because I'm the only one in this body.
...... What is wrong with ......?
The next thing I knew, Cutlass was up in bed.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at me and at Fynn in my arms.
'Oh, she's a lovely girl, isn't she? When did you get more slaves, Arujidono? Gray hair and a tiny body. Yes. She looks just like me, doesn't she! I feel a sense of affinity with you... and that's me: ────?
Cutlass tried to get up in a hurry - and then fell off the bed. Thud.
Me and Fynn both picked up Cutlass and then explained the situation.
...... I see. I'm not going to be able to get a temporary body ...... with the breastplate of Valhalla,
It's like a magical illusion. But you can still interact with them. They have the same physical sensations as the real thing. I'm sure that I can make them happy and I can make them happy, too.
Cutlass and Fynn are facing each other on the bed.
They both look happy.
Up until now, they had never seen each other because they existed as separate personalities. They've been able to communicate with each other lately, but Cutlass has only just noticed Fynn's presence. It's the first time they've seen each other face to face and touched each other, so it must be very, very new.
We're like close twins.
It's amazing what I can tell you about Alucedo.
You're always thinking of solutions to problems as soon as they arise.
So that's why I'm here in the first place.
I'm just as happy to see Cutlass' face as you are to see mine.
You have my full faith and prayers.
"With all my flesh and love,
You must return it, sir! "I will serve you well, sir!
"Hey!
They clasped their hands together and declared.
I'm glad they were pleased. As for me, it was just an idea for a 'readjustment'. ......
Cutlass and Fynn are separate personalities, but they're good friends. It's nice to see them face to face like this and talk to each other like sisters ...... and do this kind of thing.
'Well, I'll continue with the 'recalibration', you two.
Yes, Yuji!
No, Cutlass. Don't talk like that.
Cutlass nods and Fynn tells him to stop... why?
............
............ Isn't that classy? Shame on you...
I guess it's .......
It's like Fynn is teaching him something outrageous.
Like I'm afraid of Cutlass whispering in my ear and nodding his head, red-faced and buzzing, .......
'Oh, Arujidono!'
...... Yeah.
You poor little princess slave. I want your pity.
...... Hey.
Fynn......What did you tell Cutlass?
Stop smiling and nodding your head in perfect harmony. Cutlass, I'm starting to pull my nightgown down.
"Specifically, I want you to touch my body in the most humiliating way possible and bring out the girl in me.
Cutlass slowly shifted his nightgown off, exposing just barely his chest.
But his personality didn't change. Because Fynn's body was elsewhere. If Cutlass crawled into the back now, there would be no one else in charge of her body.
That's what I was going for.
I wanted to separate the two of you so they wouldn't have an escape route to each other. If they are connected in that state, they should be able to 'readjust' at the same time.
...... Yeah. Alright. I'll do what Cutlass wants.
...... Huh?
But I'm taking Fynn with me.
Of course. Of course.
Fynn, with a pizzazz, attached herself to Cutlass' back.
For some reason, he whispered with a rapt look on his face as he sweetly chewed on her earlobe.
'This is a good opportunity to make Cutlass realize what a 'woman's girl' is. I'll show you how it's done, and I'll guide you properly!
Uh, um, Fynn? A man?
...... Have a good one, Cutlass.
Fynn laughed as he hugged Cutlass.
'You'll see all your embarrassing and cute bits and pieces to be seen by Arujido. That's what I want ...... to do.
Cutlass was all red from Fynn's words...
He looked straight at me and nodded.
So - I resumed my 'readjustment'.
...... hmmm.
Once again, Cutlass, who had accepted my magic, flinched a little.
Finn's fading. His voice is shrill.
Is this...?
I thought that someday the two personalities would merge, but so quickly!
It's a lie. Fynn. We just got to meet and talk to each other!
I'm here to support you.
Fynn put his hand on his chest and said.
"If you're on your own, then I'm going to ...... melt into you...
Wait.
I grabbed Fynn's hand.
"You're not ready to disappear in here, are you, Fynn?
...... Why?
It's partly because I need Fynn: ...... I think the integration of the two of them could use a little more time.
Cutlass and Fynn are not your average dual personalities.
They were both born as a result of being cursed by their mother with magical powers when they were little. I noticed when I walked in on Cutlass and Fynn, they have slightly different reactions to magic. Maybe this is because Fynn's side has been managing a special skill like 'Artifact Grip Skill'.
I think it would be better to take more time to blend the magic power together - and I'll cooperate with you - but I think it would be better to fuse their personalities together. This is an intuition based on the experience of a master who has been tinkering with the depths of a slave's skills.
"It's just as you say, Master! Besides, I'd love to talk to Fynn more .......
Hearing my explanation, Cutlass hugged Fynn from behind, tears in his eyes.
'...... There's just one way to do it,'
Fynn mumbled slowly, eyes slightly downcast.
Then he ran his finger over the 'Balluar Breastplate' that was still on the floor.
You'll find a hollow in the center of this breastplate to hold the 'crystal of magic power'. Probably the knights of ancient times used this breastplate's 'power to create a temporary body' to strengthen their bodies, or to cultivate temporary limbs to fight. ......
Yeah. Okay. And?
'I'm sorry, but could you get a magical crystal somewhere and fit it in here?'
Fynn looks up.
Then, for some reason, he smiled a nice smile and clapped his hands with a pop ──── that?
That way, I won't have to blend in with Cutlass, and I'll continue to exist. I'll be in your body, and I'll be a different person. Oh, I'll take care of the money, me and Cutlass will take care of it. If you want, you can add this to your contract with Arujidono as a debt.
I ask you to do the same.
I'm sure. I think you can get the magic crystal - if you ask Iris for it, you can get it.
It might be a little expensive, but in this case it can't be helped, though.
"If it's there, does that mean that Feen as an entity will continue to exist?
'Yes, sir. There will be two bodies, one for me and one for Cutlass. I will be able to make you feel twice as good as you do.
...... Yeah. That's pretty much it.
But you know, Fynn. You're talking in such a logical way that it's hard to believe you were just about to disappear.
And you're snorting, "Hmmmmm," like you've won, right?
What if...
You know what, Fihn?
What can I do for you, Albus?
...... Is it a lie that it's gone by any chance?
Oh, I never said I'd disappear, did I?
'No, the way that story was told, you can't blame me for taking it that way!
I don't know. Because I never said a word about that.
Fynn turned right around, whistling a whistle that didn't sound, "Psshhh," he said.
Yup. There's sweat on my forehead, though. And I can hear you snapping your fingers in disappointment.
It was a trick. Feen!
It can't be helped! I've learned how good it feels to connect with a certain someone! You can't help but think you're going to get your own body by scheming! It's the fault of the owner!
Don't open it.
'There's no going back now that you've found out. 'You know that, don't you, Cutlass? With the magic crystals, I can have my own body. This means that Cutlass can feel the connection to Arujidoro with his entire body! Isn't that very exciting!
You're right, sir!
Don't be convinced, either, Cutlass.
Fynn insists, puffing on Cutlass' cheeks.
'Could it be that Cutlass is going to leave ...... that feeling alone?
That being said, I'm weak when it comes to that: ......
Besides, with me in the same body, I'll be replaced again. After all, I'm going to end up bothering Arujidono ............ (blah blah blah blah).
I know that. I just don't want you to cheat on Arujidono by going to ...... (whispering).
Oi.
The two of them, themselves, began to consult with each other in a whisper.
After a while, Cutlass nodded with a red face and Feen stretched his chest with a look of satisfaction. And then...
"I have a favor to ask of you. I need to ask a favor from you.
We both sat upright in front of me.
'It's ......,'
I wish you would buy Fynn a magic crystal! I'll pay for it with my body!
Mainly me! Of course I do.
'For the sake of serving Arujido twice as well, please! Please...!
...... That's something we'll discuss when we get home.
I said.
But first, Fynn has to be punished.
...... spanking, is it?
I'm sorry you had to worry about me and Cutlass.
If you have a wish, just say it.
We are allowed to do that at our party. Mainly as an order from the master.
Well, I know that Fynn has been in a position to support Cutlass for a long time, so he couldn't honestly say what he wished for. ......
But when I thought that Fynn would suddenly disappear, I was surprisingly shocked. It was enough to remind me of the original world.
So let me spank you here.
I'll buy you a crystal of magic power, but that's after the spanking.
"......, I understand.
Fynn knelt down in front of me and declared.
'Indeed, I was wrong in my approach. Please, please give this stupid slave a spanking: ......
Okay, check your skills in front of the others.
──── Yes?
Fynn's eyes glazed over.
Actually, this was sometimes necessary.
Fynn's body is a temporary one made from the 'Balal's Breastplate'. We don't even know how resistant it is to magic, or if it's possible to 'rebuild' the skill. If Fynn continues to exist in that body for a while, every inch of it needs to be checked.
'Can you install the skills in that state for now? 'For now, I'll check to see if I can install the skills in that state, and if I can move the concept of the original skill into place. There may be some things I won't be able to notice on my own, and I'll have Cecil, Rita, and Reggie take a look at it too.
Oh, there's a website that says, "There's a website for that. ......
'Huh? I thought you didn't mind being seen?
'Yes, but there are limits. Oh ...... already.
Fynn is red-faced and chewing on his little finger.
Then, as if he's ready, he grabs the hem of his nightgown and...
I understand. I will be punished for what I've done. Oh, my God... 'Kill me!
Hang in there, Fynn.
Oh, you look like a person, don't you, Cutlass?
It's personal, isn't it?
But ...... are you okay with a girl with the same face as yours being embarrassed in front of you?
────
Boshu, Cutlass' face turned bright red.
That's right. For Cutlass, it's like being shown a video of himself being done a lot of things in public. And Cutlass, the one being seen is supposed to be weak.
'Ah──────!
Cutlass held his cheeks and hissed.
Well, I'm going to keep it to a minimum, too.
Now I'll just have to do some checking before I call Cecil and the others.
Come here, Fynn.
...... Yes.
Fynn placed a small body on my lap.
In front of him is Cutlass. He's looking at me with a face as embarrassed as Fynn's.
'............ Arujido,'
Yes.
Will you take responsibility if it becomes an addiction for you to touch me?
Of course. You're the master.
If we are one, then Cutlass will have the same habit, right?
I know.
......
Then Fynn put his back to me.
A small body, about the same size as Cutlass, but still slightly different in shape.
Touching her chest, I...
............ already ...... I've been killed with love by a certain someone ...... Masunone ......
He began to check Fynn's skills under the guise of "spanking" him as he began to speak solemnly.
Cutlass, who was watching that, turned bright red and said, "It's a real brawl! And then I gave up.
It took me until dawn.
