We were in an awful condition now, with three out of five captured. How did ite to this? Despite it being incapable of endangering our lives, this sudden development had me ask in wonder.


    I judged that things wouldnt go anywhere until I freed Finia and frantically started moving my arms about. The upper half of her swimsuit had already been dissolved, leaving her in a state nody should show. That is, everything was in in sight.


    The same went for my lower half. This was a battle against time. My own aside, I had to protect Finias lower half from being exposed to Cloud at all costs.


    It was about time for it to let go of Cloud who wore the least amount of clothing among us but


    Cloud?


    When I looked his way, I saw him floatingpletely exhausted as he was being pushed up to the surface. I couldnt help but pity him, noticing the water around him looking a little impure. Well, the slimy touch of this Floating Wakame felt unexpectedly good, after all. Plus, he also had Warm cast on him.


    What did you evene here for!?


    I ended up yelling at him, but it couldnt really be helped. At any rate, rescuing Finia came first. Michelle and Letina also came back to their senses and made their way towards me.


    We managed to free finia with ourbined efforts, and then myself. I looked pretty pathetic with my crotch exposed to the world.


    How dare you do that to Lady Nicole!


    Seeing me like that, Finia became enraged. She once again shed at the monster with all her might. The water resistance wouldve pushed her back like before had the situation been the same, but this time, Lentina was pushing her from behind so she managed to offset it.


    Itnded perfectly on the nucleus of the Floating Wakame and bisected it. nt it may be, no living organism could continue to function after having its core cut.


    Thus, the bisected Floating Wakame ceased all movements and followed after Cloud towards the surface. And like this, our first dramatic battle hade to an end.


    Maxwell wasughing his ass off on the boat. I couldnt me him  the earlier fight was just thatical. Still, I felt a little reproachful it wouldnt hurt to lend us a hand there.


    Cloud was being made to reflect on his knees by Michelle as she stood before him in a daunting pose. Finia and I borrowed towels and covered our exposed parts for the time being.


    Now that was quite a nice battle to remember as a tale.


    You could have helped us, you know?


    But that would serve as no training, would it? No use crying over spilled milk, so just go get changed, will you?


    Change? What do you mean?


    I mean, you know Do not make me say it.


    He said that and pointed at my inner thigh. There was a single streak of blood there. Just to mention, I had no recollection of sustaining any injuries. In the first ce, Floating Wakame did not attack living things.


    H-Huh?


    Lady Nicole, did you get injured!?


    I stopped the flustered Finia and poked around under the towel in search of injuries. I thought maybe the dagger grazed me somewhere But it turned out that wasnt the case.

    Huhhhhhhh!?


    It came from a ce located at the base of the legs In other words, it wasthat. Guessing what this was about, Finia pped her hands.


    So thats how it is. Congrattions, Lady Nicole!


    I dont feel happy about this!?


    I suppose your belly growing cold and worsening your condition was the trigger of it.


    Letina who was properly undergoing sex education unlike me was kind enough to exin it to me medically. I wasnt the least bit happy about it.


    Maxwell, who also guessed the situation, awkwardly gave me another towel.


    Michelle still hadnt figured it out. I hoped she would remain so innocent forever, though I realized that was too much to ask for.


    Cloud was in the same state, but he had no right to speak now. Today, we had a big enough blunder to consider hiring a frencer instead.


    Still, we somehow managed to seed in hunting our prey for the day. With my first period as a bonus.


    Next morning, I raised groans while wrapped in the nket inside the cottage. My joints were sore, but my abdomen was hurting the most. It was extremely annoying that I had to visit the bathroom periodically.


    Fortunately, Finia had things prepared for dealing with that, so I wasnt troubled on that part. Given my condition, we decided to put todays hunt on hold.


    Gahhh I fucked up. Ive be a girl in both body and heart


    The fact that you are using such words shows that you are still going strong.


    I started crying myints after confirming that Finia wasnt around. I mean, I was actually on the verge of tears.


    Last nights events dealt huge damage to my mentality. Maxwell drove everyone else out of the room under the pretext of consoling me. Since he was the user of healing magic, even Finia did not oppose it.


    Besides, blood loss for my body was linked to severe exhaustion. Leaving me with Maxwell was their only choice to guard against any unlikely idents.


    As theyd have nothing to do like that, he entrusted the processing of the Floating Wakame to them. The process went as something like shaving the Wakame skin, mincing it into powder, then soaking it in water to regain its slimy texture, and finally, mixing it in an existing shampoo and adjusting theposition.


    We heard about the method from the God of Destruction, so we were fully ready for it. It apparently neutralized the shampoos acidity and had this treatment effect that made it gentle to the scalp and preserved humidity in the hair.


    It was normally a shampoo, but it was apparently no problem even if you washed the babys body with it, even with their fragile skin.


    At any rate, the Wakame we hunted yesterday was quite big in size, so it would be enough to make portions for my unborn sister, Maria, Michelle and Letinas families too, with some extra to spare.

    It seems that we could preserve the remaining part by drying it and turning it into a fine powder.


    I felt bad for leaving everything to my friends, but I had no motivation to do anything now. I knew this would happen eventually, but it happened so suddenly that I didnt manage to prepare myself. And the tormenting pain was a constant reminder of the reality of it.


    I Gotta return to being a man, and fast.


    Is that so? I personally believe that you should just give up already, but I suppose that would make Cortina sad.


    I will return As fast as I can.


    Oh well, good luck, I suppose?


    I puffed a fist and dered while wiping away the tears of my emotional instability. With Maxwells half-hearted encouragement, I decided to take the day off and slept through it.
