"Ow, my lower back!"
I think I broke a rib.
"What? Kaela isn't a woman?"
The Baron examined me from head to toe.
"Yes!"
Donkey shouted.
"No!"
I protested, nearly coughing up blood.
"Is she or isn't she?"
The Baron ran his fingers through his beard. Once again, the people on the street stopped to watch the commotion.
"Kaela. . ."
"Come here, Donkey."
"Are we going to the brothel?"
"No!"
I dragged the quadruped farther away.
"Pay attention to what I'm about to tell you. Come closer."
He tilted his head.
"Not that close! Are you trying to kiss me?"
"Hahaha!"
This Donkey's mind is somewhere else entirely.
"Hmm, the people in this city don't know that I'm a man inside a woman's body."
What infernal heat. . .
"What's the problem if they find out?"
Man, his breath smells like a sewer.
"Come here!"
"The brothel isn't this way."
"Huh? How do you know that?"
"Details!"
Hmm!
We moved even farther away.
"If people find out what I am and word spreads, Altus Pervertus will probably come after me."
"That idiot who thinks he's a god!"
"Yes!"
Donkey bit his lip in anger.
"Then you already know what will happen, don't you?"
He looked at the people silently staring at us.
Then he winked at them.
"Everyone, run!"
I simply pretended not to see that.
"If Altus Pervertus comes looking for me, he'll come after you too. . ."
"Hmm!"
He swallowed hard as though gulping down alcohol and returned to Dorian.
"Hey, Baron Lettuce, Kaela isn't a man."
"Then what is she?"
They picked up the crates. . .
"We still don't know what she is."
"Hahaha!"
Clowns.
Well, it's better than nothing.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and quietly slipped away.
". . ."
"Girls, have you made the coffee?"
Why is Seraphine sulking?
"Yes!"
Lyra was cleaning the coffee filter.
I sat on a crate, stretched my legs, and removed the rabbit ears.
I can't stop thinking about what happened earlier. What I saw at the window didn't look human.
What does he mean, the Algorithm is watching us?
"Lyra, why did you put that in it?"
Seraphine had both hands pressed against her stomach.
"Didn't you like it?"
Ahh, I'm so sleepy!
I'd give anything for a bed.
What are the girls arguing about over there?
I still can't believe we're actually getting paid.
"Hey, Scroll, can you tell me what we'll be able to buy with ten thousand asterium?"
"Warning: Probably nothing."
Nothing?
"Here's your coffee, Kaela!"
Mmm, delicious.
"Hey, Seraphine, why are you yellow?"
I took the coffee. . .
"Glug, glug!"
Shit!
It tore down my throat, destroying everything inside me.
"Kaela, did you like the fertilizer?"
"PFFFFT!"
I spat out my guts and every last thing I had eaten in my previous life.
"Argh! Lyra, are you trying to kill us?"
"Ow!"
I pulled her ear.
"Hahaha! Then it must have turned out great!"
At this rate, these people are going to kill me before I ever get the chance to kill the Demon King.
Mom, help me.
Get me out of this place.
"Waaah!"
"Don't cry, Kaela!"
Seraphine began combing my hair.
"Seraphine!"
"What?"
"Why did you give me the coffee when you already knew what was in it?"
"Bleh!"
"Hey! Don't throw up on me."
"Seraphine, you too?"
". . ."
Where am I supposed to take a bath now?
I can't walk around the city covered in filth.
"Baron, I'm going to use the bathroom!"
"No, wait!"
Can't I take a shit in peace?
