Transformation Ability
Naofumi:"Oyaji! Oyaji! Oyaji! Oyaji!"
The old man from the weapons shop opened the door with a slightly annoyed expression.
Old Man: "What does the lad of the shield want now? I closed the shop long ago."
Naofumi: "Of course not!"
What does this old man think of me!?
Naofumi: "You be quiet!"
After that affair, the noise never stopped.
Even Raphtalia was speechless.
Thus, I carried Firo here to the weapons shop.
Firo: "Ah... Achoo!"
Bofun! Biriiiiii!
In the blink of an eye, Firo reverts back to her Queen of the Philorial (Temporary) form.
Firo returned to her human form and holds my hand.
Old Man: "Yeah..."
The old man guides us inside the store with a really complex expression.
Old Man: "So, the reason you came to see me is to get equipment for this child?"
Old Man: "Lad, calm down a little."
Right, now that I think about it, why does Firo have a humanoid form?
Furthermore, her face is cute enough to be a lovely picture.
Guuuuuu..
Naofumi: "Endure it."
Firo: "Waaa, Itadakimasu~"
Firo takes the pot from the old man and pours all of the contents into her mouth.
Firo: "N-.....It tastes ok I guess~"
I returned the pot to the old man.
Old Man: "Lad, treat me to a meal later."
I'll learn from this mistake.
Old Man: "Hmmm... Well, I know there are clothes for Demi-humans that transform... But this is a weapon shop, what you are looking for is in a clothing shop."
Old man: "That's true... Wait here a little."
The old man went to the back of the shop and all I heard was rustling.
Old Man: "Don't expect too much since I don't have anything in her size."
Naofumi: "What!"
This is already my last resort... What am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to answer when people ask me why there is a naked little girl without parents in my care?
Naofumi: "Don't you dare transform!"
There is no item that keeps a demon in her human form. As expected, humanoid demons are extremely rare.
Firo: "Nooo-"
Ku......What the hell is wrong with this child!
Is this the rebellious phase? No, that's impossible, she was born a few days ago.
Naofumi: "Then how about this. If you will stay in your human form, we can sleep together."
After hearing that, Firo has a big smile on her face and tightly holds my hand.
Naofumi: "Sigh...... why do we have to sleep together."
Old Man: "Lad...... Are you serious?"
I did not come to this world to baby-sit...
Old Man: "Anyway, where is Raphtalia?"
Naofumi: "Sorry, my bad."
Raphtalia?: "What is this child saying!"
Naofumi?: "Ah, sorry for the disturbance"
Old Man: "I'm always surprised by you, lad."
We left the weapons shop and walked towards the inn when Raphtalia says.
Raphtalia: "Ah, the slave.....Demon dealer called."
Naofumi: "Yeah."
Naofumi: "Oh? You know about her?"
Naofumi: "Hurry and say it."
The slave trader pointed at Firo who is in her humanoid form, wearing nothing but a tattered mantle.
Slave Trader: "The Philorial Queen has advanced transformation abilities. Therefore, it changed itself into a normal Philorial to escape attention. At least that's our hypothesis."
No wonder... If I was in a similar circumstance, I'm sure I would decide to disguise myself too.
Naofumi: "What?"
It is classified as a considerably rare demon due to it's transformation abilities. Although it stinks, the profits would be massive.
Naofumi: "Maybe that's just the power of the legendary shield hero."
I believed this was due to the power of Growth Correction. I couldn't explain how to do this naturally.
Slave Trader: "Then, can you tell me how you do it? For a price of course."
Slave Trader: "How about raising another Philorial, for free of course-"
Naofumi: "We'll see."
Uah......This slave trader's eyes are sparkling
But it is the truth that Firo ate chimera meat, so I'm not lying.
Slave Trader: "I see...Well, that's too bad then."
The slave trader withdraws reluctantly.
Slave Trader: "Anyway, I’ll buy your Philorial any time. Yup"
Slave Trader: "You can accumulate money easily."
Naofumi: "Yeah."
Firo?: "What?"
Firo entered the conversation with a question mark over her head.
Naofumi: "This is your treat."
Raphtalia: "I forbid it!"
Raphtalia: "I do not!"
You guys are noisy.
Naofumi: "Well then, Firo, go to the barn and sleep."
Raphtalia: "Naofumi-sama!?"
Raphtalia: "Well... Me too"
Raphtalia muttered words that I couldn't hear.
Naofumi: "But, you must not be naked in public!"
I head back to the inn and pay the storekeeper for another night.
Why is it so hot!?
Naofumi: "Uu..."
My body can't move.
When I open my eyes fearfully, all I can see is white.
I slowly lift my head, It seems the bed I was sleeping on is Firo's true form.
MishiMishiMishi......
I was somehow able to escape through the gap.
Naofumi: "Fu...... What a terrible morning"
Firo noticed Raphtalia and I glaring at her and tilts her neck.
Firo: "What happened?"
Firo: "Eh? When did I change?"
Ku! I didn't want to do this but it can't be helped!
Any order cannot be disobeyed if I do this.
Naofumi: "Become a humanoid!"
I commanded Firo
Firo: "No... I want to sleep with Master more~"
The demon crest appears on Firo's abdomen because she went against my orders.
Firo?: "Eh?"
With a fizzle, the demon crest became silent again.
Naofumi: "Ha?"
I checked the demon icon. It seems the command for absolute obedience was removed.
This demon won't listen to a thing I say?
Slave trader... Wash your neck because I'm coming for you.
