“Haa…”

I buckle myself as the opening ceremony came to an end.
10 match will be done today, and I having acquired the seed right have my match tomorrow.

“Haa…”

I haven’t stop sighing while I go around town.
The cause is you know who――.

“Yuuri…”

I sigh as if I was a maiden in live――.

“I AIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN’T! I REALLY AIN’T! I DON’T SIGH CAUSE OF LOVE! NO NO NO!”

The old lady that was just pa.s.sing by got surprised causing her tooth to fall.
Even the kid run away screaming.

However I am not so kind to care for such trivial things.

For I am in deep trouble.

“… As expected my heart is slowly becoming that of a woman… And even during the time I saw Airi b.u.t.t naked and carried her to my room, I felt nothing… *butsu butsu butsu…”

A young man then notices snort at me saying the word 『b.u.t.t naked』.
The female store clerk of the convenience store at the side of the street got fl.u.s.tered and looks at me from the gap of her fingers.

However I don’t have the luxury of retorting to such a thing.

Cause I’m in a deep situation!

“s.h.i.t…! Seriously, what do I do…! Why is it that ever since I came here I feel like I’m not even me anymore…! I’ve lost interest towards a 『woman』 and towards a 『man』 I…? ”

What to do…
It feels like the tournament is the least of my worries.
What should I do to wake up my 『man side』…?
Is there even a way to――.

“… Erinu…?”

…That’s it.
I’ll go to 《Azerlaims》.
It’s just 900 UL from here, 《Etherclan》, to 《Azerlaims》.
If I go to the south gate and go straight south then I’ll arrive to 《Azerlaims》 especially now with my current self it’ll take no time.

“…”

This has to be it.
Only Erinu can save me with this dangerous situation I’m in.
I’ll have my way with Erinu’s bewbies and once again reclaim my 『manly』heart.

I steel myself――.

“Wait for me I’m definitely coming, ERINUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!”

――even when the towns people’s gazes gather at me, I energetically dash towards the south gate…

『Garurururu！』

“STFU! You’re in the way fattyyyy!”

*Clang.
『Gyafuuuuuun！』

Along the way I encounter a somewhat wolf man so I home-run it’s stomach with my 《Zweihander》

“If you don’t want to die then get out of my WAAAAAAAAAAY! UUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”

I run to 《Azerlaims》 with all my strength.
Thinking about it carefully then running with 《Conceal》 might be better but I’m not thinking straight right now.

『Gigiiii！！』

A giant monkey 3 times my height then blocks my way.
It then split open it’s mouth showing me it’s sharp fangs.

“Hey old-man your breath smell baaaaaaaddd!”

*Clang.

『GYAFUーーーーーーーーN！』

The giant monkey then fly to the distant star.
If it really was an old guy then in my eyes they are not.

“d.a.m.n…! I guess the monster really did increase…! And I think that giant monkey was around the demon lord castle, ain’t yaaaaaaa!”

A lot of things is happening but that’s not the problem now.
I guess I’ll look into it later.
If I loose focus now then I’ll once again think about Yuuri.
And his silky blonde hair…
Even his slender body and the muscle on his well formed arm…
To top it all of, that smile…
Oh sweet… Yuuri…
I offer my everything to――.

“――NOT HAPPENINGGーーーーーーーーーーーー！！ UOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”

My scream echo throughout the fields――.

After a few hours.
Normally it would take it 3 hours from 《Etherclan》 to 《Azerlaims》 took 1 for me.

“Zee…! Zee…! Zee…!”

I probably set a new record.
Humans can achieve anything with their dying will.

“…Fo-for the mean time … to 《Azerlaims castle》…!”

I then unsteadily proceed to the north from the castle town towards the giant castle gate.

And of course there are 4 soldiers guarding the castle.

(… As one would expect they wouldn’t let some foreigners attack their princess…)

I try to regain a bit of my head.
I open my window from the guards blind spot and activate 《Conceal》.
I then become transparent.

(… Guess I can jump that height…)

While hiding my presence I jump the wall from the guards blind side.
I guess it would be bad if I get caught…
I then thought, what the heck am I thinking.

(Ah…)

I immediately see Erinu talking to the prime minister.
Thank goodness…
If she weren’t here then everything would have been in vain, but I guess today I’m lucky.

“――therefore, proceed just like what was issued before”

“I understand. I bid you farewell”

Erinu seems to have finished talking with the prime minister
She then head towards her room.

(This is my chance…!)

I ninja my way to Erinu’s room going to the crevice as soon as she close the door.
The 《Conceal》 effect then wears off.

“Eh?”

“Ah, well h.e.l.lo there”

Erinu’s pupils contract.
I can’t blame her.
Anyone’s eyes would contract if a one eyed woman appear after you close the door.

“…Kazuha…sama…?”

“Eh? How did you know?”

Erinu immediately guess my ident.i.ty.
Are…?
Does that mean… I’m not that well disguised…?

“… That voice, it really is Kazuha-sama…”

“Yeah. Sorry Erinu. I scared you”

I apologized for the mean time.
Properly apologizing will help me with what I’ll ask next, plus scaring her wasn’t my intention.

“… Not at all… Is it really that 『serious』 for you to disguise yourself and sneak here? … Perhaps it is connected to 《Rakshadia Republic》 matters?”

Erinu is probably talking about the 『important cultural a.s.sets』Rei-san and the others are settling right now.
Of course she would know the details of the job that the elite mercenary group that is affiliated with 《Azerlaims》

“Nope, that has nothing to do with this. … Well I really am in a 『serious』situation…”

“Well… If it’s something that I can help then please say so, Kazuha-sama”

Erinu says as she intently looks at my eye.
Aah, as expected Erinu really does understand me.
I love Erinu. (TL: Not “suki” but “ais.h.i.teiru”… I’ll explain it below)
This is without a doubt the truth.
Yuuri taking my heart is――.
Such a thing is――.

“… Kazuha-sama? Your face is all red, did you catch a cold?”

“Uh…”

… This is bad…
I still.. about Yuuri…!

“Shall I prepare medicine for you”

Erinu worriedly say as she’s about to leave the room.

“Wait!”

“Eh?”

I can’t take it anymore.
I need to hurry up and return to my old self…!

I pull the clueless Erinu towards me.

“…Kazuha…sama?”

I hug Erinu.
My small bosom and her big bosom intertwine.
Are?
Erinu’s heart… is beating fast…?
Her heartbeat is…?

“I’m sorry Erinu…! I…!”

I then gently hold Erinu’s chin towards mine.

“………………hai” (TL: I can’t find the suitable word for this)

“Eh?”

For some reason Erinu closes her eyes while blushing.
Yup.
Her expression is that of a maiden in love――.

“… Are?”

Even though it’s my chance.
Even though it’s a once in a lifetime chance.

“…”

Are?
Erinu still… doesn’t know 『me』…
And currently the 『me』 she see … is a female.

…Yup.

Are?
Erinu…?
Perhaps you――.

“… Kazuha-sama… I have always yearned for this day to…”

“…”

………………Are？

Dang it woke up in the wrong side of the bed…. This translation might be kinda s.h.i.tty even though it’s such a great chapter…. Nyways…

“Suki”->好き -> is normally translated in anime as like, but sometimes it’s love… however in comparison to 愛してる this has a much more oomph in to it… like marrying or committing to the person…

As for the “………………hai” well, if anyone can tell me a response that can’t ruin the mood then I’ll be very grateful to you.
