章節 451: Procedure

After leaving the Manor, Vahn realized that he hadn't taken into consideration what it was like being a woman. All of his movement felt awkward, almost like there was a void that he couldn't quite adapt to as he walked around. He wasn't cold or anything, but it felt strange wearing shorts meant for girls and feeling the wind against his legs was rather strange. Noticing his awkwardness, Loki had gotten close to him and asked, "How long are you going to stay like that? Don't tell me you prefer being a woman now..." Vahn flinched at Loki's words but it was Hephaestus who answered for him as her fist fell like a hammer on Loki's head. With a wry smile on his face, Vahn explained, "The item I used has a duration of twenty-four hours, but I can forcibly change back if I use my own transformation ability. It would likely take more than an hour though so I'll stay like this for a while..."

Rubbing the bump on her head, Loki glared at Hephaestus before saying, "You should show that form to Tione and see if you can pull a prank on her...it should be pretty interesting seeing how they react." Though her words were a bit strange, Vahn couldn't deny that he had actually thought the same thing earlier. It seemed like a unique experience that he could take advantage of since it was a relatively rare occurrence. He had no intention of ever transforming his body into a girl's through normal methods so it wasn't a bad idea to take advantage of the circumstances. Though he couldn't see himself as anything but a man, Vahn couldn't deny that he was somewhat interested in his current form...

Before they got to the gate, Vahn brought the group to a stop and asked Freya, "How far away is your residence?" Freya had been paying close attention to Vahn ever since earlier so she immediately answered, "It would only take us around ten minutes to get there..." Vahn nodded his head before closing his eyes for a few seconds. By the time he opened them, a large shadow had started to appear near the group and he looked toward Ottar and said, "Don't attack my dragon..." As he had actually been present during the Monster Feria, Ottar was already aware of Fafnir's existence and didn't show any change in expression even when the black dragon towered over the group.

Freya looked up at Fafnir with a slight glimmer in her silver eyes since she was actually quite fond of it ever since she learned of its existence. Vahn had Fenrir lower its body to the ground as everyone climbed up on its back for the short flight. Since Freya's residence was within the 'airspace' of the Alliance, Vahn didn't see any reason to walk. He wanted to get this matter taken care of as expediently as possible since associating with Freya wasn't exactly the best way to pass time. The sooner he could return to his own research in preparation for the upcoming expedition, the better.

Once they were on Fafnir's back, Vahn looked toward Freya, who was currently being supported by Ottar, and said, "Hold on tightly...Fafnir's acceleration can be a bit intense." Following his words, Hephaestus, Loki, and Ottar all grabbed the protrusions that came out of Fafnir's back and held on tightly. Hestia had stayed behind at the Manor since she wasn't the type that left very often and wasn't that interested in Freya getting 'knocked up'. With his signal, Fafnir flared its wings and sent a powerful gust of wind before it took off into the sky like a rocket. Within twenty seconds, accounting for deceleration and landing, Vahn had arrived at the area designated by Freya.

Realizing how quickly they had arrived, Freya looked around in abject shock before commenting, "I need to get me a dragon like this..." Loki nodded her head in affirmation as Hephaestus dizzily stood up from Fafnir's back. Vahn had never expected her to be the type to get motion sickness and he found her reaction somewhat adorable as he rubbed the pale goddess' back with gentle energy emitting from his palms. Suddenly, Vahn heard Fafnir say, ("Vahn, there is a strange feeling...") before it took the initiative to dive into the shadows and leave everyone standing in the grass. Vahn frowned and looked at Freya with a stern expression on his face as she averted her eyes and commented, "I can't turn off my charm completely..."

Vahn had gotten a notification from his system saying that Fafnir had 'resisted' a powerful charm magic and knew that Freya had tried to sneakily charm Fafnir for a brief moment. Even if it was an 'accidental' thing, Vahn felt very offended by her actions and said in a firm tone through gritted teeth, "If you try to charm one of my subordinates in the future, I will cut all ties with you from then onwards..." Both Loki and Hephaestus also glared at Freya while Loki shook her head and said, "You never learn, idiot woman..." Freya gnashed her teeth at Loki's remark before turning her back and leading the way into the Manor without refuting their words.

Once they were inside, the group split into two as Vahn and Hephaestus went into a small parlour where several servants began attending them immediately. Loki, Freya, and Ottar left for a nearby room that was still within Vahn's range. The reason why Vahn had asked Loki to be involved was that she would be able to handle Freya more easily than he would be able to. They had already coordinated a signal and Vahn was going to use [Enkidu] when Loki informed him things were ready. Vahn might be able to sense everything that is going on in the room, assuming he focused on it, but he was going to distract himself with Hephaestus and Loki until things were 'finished'...

---

When they entered the room, Loki looked around at the furnishings, including the massive canopied bed that was against the far wall. Before Freya asked, she already started explaining, "Well, it doesn't really bother me too much but I don't want to watch your little play personally... let's see, the things you need to be aware of are pretty simple. Vahn has a specialized artifact that he has created that can temporarily seal the Divinity of us gods. When your body is wrapped in the chain, you will become mortal and that will allow your little pet here to take care of the basic part of the procedure. When he gives you the baby batter, have him wipe down your body and get dressed before he goes to retrieve Vahn. You won't be able to move throughout the process, but its a small price to pay in order to receive a child. The second part will be taken care of by Vahn himself, and that process is a secret you're not privy to. Just know that you'll be coming out of things with a lovely little stamp on your backside~."

Freya tilted her head slightly and looked like she wanted to ask questions but Loki held up her hand and said, "Do you really want to keep trying Vahn's patience to find out the limits of his tolerance? You might not care about your own 'pets', but Vahn treats his like his own children, and not in a shallow way like most of us gods. If you keep pushing your luck, you'll run out sooner than you'd expect..." Freya furrowed her brows slightly before looking to Ottar and saying, "Ottar, dear, I'll be in your care for a little while..." Ottar nodded his head in a firm manner before Loki raised her hand and said in a serious manner, "Oi, big guy, make sure you properly wipe down your goddesses body and ensure she is dressed when you're finished. Even if they knock bodies in the future, that isn't something you need to worry about right now. Since she doesn't seem to have any, at least make it look like she has a sense of propriety, would you~?"

Ottar seemed to take offense at Loki's words but Freya simply sighed and said, "Ottar, do as she says...even I don't want to keep offending that boy if I can avoid it..." Toward the end of her sentence, Freya looked in the direction of where Hephaestus and Vahn were sitting with a thoughtful expression on her face. Loki, noticing her strange behavior, showed a mischevious smile and said, "Didn't I ask you at our previous meeting what you're willing to give up in order to prove yourself to Vahn~? Even without the ability to see souls, I can tell that boy has the makings of greatness in him. Seriously, do you think it's a coincidence you're able to have a baby through his efforts? You would do well to find your own resolve in the future or you'll end up having regrets for the rest of eternity..."

Freya turned back to Loki and saw her slightly open red eyes staring at her with a surprisingly serious fervor contained within them. Even though her expression looked mischevious, Freya could tell that her words were filled to the brim with caution. Though she might not have understood it in the past, Freya now earnestly believed Loki's words contained a fair amount of truth. Vahn's soul, though smaller in size, was more vibrant than any god she had seen in Heaven. His potential wasn't even something she was capable of comprehending and most of his actions brought about change that had never before been seen in the world, even after nearly six-hundred-million years...

Seeing Freya's ruminating gaze, Loki began to tap her foot before releasing a long yawn and saying, "So, we gonna get this started or what? I don't know about you, but I don't want to make this into a whole day..." Freya was broken from her momentary reverie and showed an elegant smile on her face before plucking one of the petals of her dress. She wasn't ashamed of being seen naked by Loki at all and moved over to a large wardrobe and pulled out a babydoll nightgown that covered her chest and a pair of frilly lace underwear for later. Even if she couldn't be naked in front of Vahn, yet, she wanted to appeal to him as best she was able.

When Freya had made her preparations, Loki pointed to the bed and said, "It'll save time if you do it from behind since you'll have to be held by the chains for a while. The crest will go on your backside as well, and I'm sure Vahn doesn't want to stay here for too long..." Loki knew that Vahn was fond of butts and, even though he didn't seem to like Freya, he would be able to 'appreciate' the view. It also prevented Freya from being able to look at him easily since she would be wrapped up firmly in the chains. Thus, following Loki's instructions, Freya got on all fours before staring inquisitively as Loki pulled out a small golden orb.

The air within the room took on a golden hue as five resplendent golden chains emerged from the void and began to wrap around Freya's body in a smooth fashion. Since they had been informed about the existence of the chains, the sudden appearance didn't cause Ottar and Freya to panic but instead caused the goddess of beauty to marvel at the innate beauty contained within the chains. Even though she considered herself to be one of the most beautiful things in all creation, Freya felt like her own appearance paled in comparison to the resplendent golden chains. Even as a goddess, she felt like the chains twining around her body were more Divine than she was. Then, as if evidence of this fact, she suddenly found her own body to be completely bereft of her own Divinity...

Loki gave the bound Freya a thumbs up before smacking Ottar's adamantine-like back and saying, "Well, you're up to the plate now big fella...seriously, make sure you dress her properly after the fact. I'll be checking personally so, even if Vahn forgives her for the lack of decorum, I won't..." Ottar gave Loki a sideward glance before moving toward the bed as he expertly peeled away his armor and clothing. Though she was briefly tempted to look, Loki shook her hand, which was sore from smacking Ottar's body, and left the room without sparing them a further glance...

---

Vahn and Hephaestus had been talking about his designs for the 'under armor' that he was creating back at the Heath Manor before Loki appeared at the large set of doors with a tired expression on her face. She walked over and unceremoniously sat in Vahn's lap as she held up her hand and said, "Vahn, heal my hand...that bastard is harder than any metal I've ever seen..." Without minding Loki's behavior, Vahn took her hand into his own and used [Hands of Nirvana] to 'soothe' her pain, even though he used [Wounds Transfer] to completely remove it the moment she complained about it.

Loki smiled before leaning her back against his chest before a peculiar expression appeared on her face as she mused, "I've gotta be honest, if you were going to choose a girl to transform into you should have picked one with a bigger chest..." Vahn had been ignoring Loki's behavior until she began to rub her shoulders against his relatively diminutive chest. Releasing a sigh, Vahn pinched Loki's bottom and sent the mischevious goddess jumping as he said, "When I was thinking about who to transform into, I wanted to pick someone with a smaller chest since it seemed even more awkward than simply having small breasts...I'm already dealing with a fair amount of awkwardness without having to worry about the size of my bust..."

Hephaestus showed a wry smile on her face as she placed her palm against her cheek and gave Vahn a slightly worried look and asked, "Why did you even transform into a woman? Don't tell me you were simply curious...?" Vahn nodded his head without glossing over the matter and said, "Since I had the item on hand, I wanted to at least try experiencing it once. Besides, I needed to test the limits of the item in case I needed to make use of it in the future." Vahn then showed Hephaestus and Loki some of his own notes about the unique items he had been collecting. He didn't want to talk about it openly, as they were currently in the residence of Freya, and there was a fair chance they could be being spied on.

Loki, seeing that the item had been obtained through her bond with Vahn, was quite excited at the prospect of being able to acquire similar items in the future. The fact that it was a relatively non-descript item, yet had such a powerful function, made Loki feel like it suited her personality well. Vahn told her that he was researching the items with Riveria and would let her know once he found out a method to produce them reliably. As he only had a single spare on him, Vahn couldn't give in to Loki's request to try out the item for herself. She was curious if the item actually worked on gods, something that Vahn also desired to know, but that would have to wait until later. The only reason Vahn had used one earlier was that he had a spare and wanted to gain momentum against Freya.

After a surprisingly long time of around fifty minutes, Ottar showed up at the doors and said, "Vahn Mason..." without explaining anything before turning away once again. Vahn rose from the sofa and followed behind Ottar with Hephaestus and Loki in tow. Though he had already prepared himself, Vahn was still caught off guard when he walked into the room and saw Freya's butt poking out with a pair of pristine white lace panties on her bottom. After he entered, Ottar bowed to the flushed-faced Freya and exited the room without delay. The moment he left, Freya released a gasping sigh and said, "I didn't expect things to be so intense when my Divinity was sealed away...is this something you girls get to experience often?"

Contrary to her earlier demeanor, the current Freya had a more 'genuine' appearance and seemed to be exhausted after her earlier 'exertions'. Without her Divinity supporting her, it was actually a lot more difficult to manage someone like Ottar than she had expected. Loki began laughing at Freya's question while Hephaestus simply averted her eyes and sat down on a nearby sofa. As for Vahn, he approached near Freya's backside and spared the perfect buttocks a few glances as he climbed into the bed. Freya tried to look back at him but found her movements largely restricted and laborious. Eventually, she simply decided to let her tired body hang by the chains without trying to discern anything from the procedure with her own eyes.

Once Vahn had climbed on the bed, Loki's eyes widened and she mused, "This is such an incredible sight...I never imagined that gorilla girl as the 'dominant' type." Loki held the bridge of her nose as she spoke and Vahn could even see a small amount of blood coming out of her left nostril as she peeked toward him with glimmering eyes. Vahn knew Loki was more interested in women than men, but it was a little awkward seeing her current behavior since she was directing her 'lecherous' gaze at him. She looked a little bit like an old man with a long face as she eyed him leaning over Freya's body as if she were beholding an indecent act. Even Freya, who was typically immune to such things in her normal state, hung her head and refused to look at Loki for the time being.

Deciding that the matter was best taken care of sooner, rather than later, Vahn grabbed Freya's hips and activated his [Eyes of Truth] as he peered into her body. She released a sensual moan when he grabbed her but Vahn ignored her actions and focused on the matter at hand. Though he had already expected this would be the case, it was decidedly more awkward to 'guide' a woman's body into pregnancy if it wasn't one of his own. Seeing the inside of Freya's body stained white with the color of another man made Vahn feel a strange feeling of anxiety as he hastily completed the procedure.

When he finished planting the fertilized egg against the wall of the fallopian tubes, Vahn straightened Freya's body and began the process of carving his crest into her lower back. Even though Freya wasn't one of his women, Vahn felt a sense of conquest carving his own crest into her backside. Since he wasn't looking into her body anymore, Vahn got to enjoy the sight of her white buttocks for around ten minutes as he completed the final part of the process. From now on, unless she had it altered by someone else, Freya would carry his mark on her body until she returned to Heaven. Of course, there was nothing that stopped her from concealing it whenever she wanted to.

The entire process took about twenty minutes before Vahn lowered Freya's tired body onto the bed and removed his [Enkidu]. The chains melted away into golden particles that dissipated into the void as Freya released a long sigh and rolled over. From the moment the chains were removed, her Divinity returned to her body and she felt immediately revitalized. When she was on her back, Freya looked up at Vahn and gave a somewhat sad smile as she said, "It's too bad you aren't a man right now...though I suppose I should still be grateful...thank you, Vahn Mason." As she spoke, Freya rubbed her abdomen before a magical light shone in her eyes. Even though the fetus hadn't started to develop yet, Freya was able to see life energy begin to converge in her own body and knew she was pregnant.

Vahn didn't continue to stare at Freya's body, which was splayed out in an obvious attempt to seduce him, and instead moved off of the bed in a casual manner. Looking toward Hephaestus and Loki, Vahn smiled and said, "We're done here... let's go home." From behind his back, Freya looked at Vahn with a somewhat annoyed look before closing her eyes and ignoring him. Her charm had absolutely no effect on him so she would need to find another way to approach him if she wanted to have any luck getting through his defenses. At least she would be able to experience giving birth to a powerful child, even though it wouldn't be nearly as strong as the one sired by Vahn...

When Vahn left the room, Ottar was waiting nearby and looked toward him with his characteristic emotionless expression. However, though his expression didn't chance, Vahn could see the burly man's aura fluctuating slightly so he smiled and said, "Congratulations, you're going to be a father..." Hearing Vahn's words, Ottar's expression changed for the first time and Vahn was surprised to see an incredibly small smile appear on his face as he bowed and said, "Thank you..." before making his way into the room. Vahn's smile widened as he followed the back of the 'King' into the room before shaking his head. It was somewhat tragic knowing that Ottar was so grateful to have a child with his goddess yet Freya would likely not care about it in the slightest...

Before heading back to the Hearth Manor, Vahn escorted Loki back to the Twilight Manor using Fafnir as a mode of transport. She tried to convince him to stay over for a bit and 'play', but Vahn 'politely' refused her offer since he didn't want people to spread weird rumors about Tiona. As one of the ace members of the Loki Familia, everyone would think he was Tiona and it wouldn't take long at all for rumors to spread beyond the Manor and reach the rest of the City. Vahn was fine having rumors about himself proliferate but he didn't want to be the cause behind why is own lover's reputation was tarnished.

Because she had tasks to tend to, Hephaestus also had Vahn drop her off at the workshop even though it sent a crowd of pedestrians running when they landed in the street. Vahn had been tempted to embrace her, as was his usual method of parting, but decided against it for the same reasons that he had declined Loki's invitation. Hephaestus also felt somewhat awkward about Vahn's current appearance and, before they parted ways, told him, "Make sure to return to normal soon..." Vahn nodded his head before waving at her in a somewhat awkward manner and flying back to the Manor...

章節 452: Daily Life?

Soon after he touched down at the Manor, Vahn could sense a presence rapidly making its way toward him. It was an aura similar to his own so Vahn was able to easily guess that it was Fenrir coming to greet him at the door, as per usual. However, unlike in the past, Vahn was now in a different form and he was curious how she would react. With a bit of intrigue, Vahn opened the door as Fenrir trotted forward and hugged his waist as she said, "Vahn, welcome home~!" Vahn smiled and began stroking the bristly hair of Fenrir as he asked, "You can tell it's me so easily?"

Fenrir looked up into his face with a confused expression on her's as she asked, "Vahn was trying to fool Fenrir?" A peal of laughter escaped Vahn's lips as he ruffled her hair and said, "Of course not, Fenrir, I wouldn't try to fool you like this..." Fenrir nodded her head happily before running off to her previous location without delay. Unless Vahn asked her to stay, she knew it was better to tend to her own matters so she wouldn't be a bother to him. Vahn watched her retreating figure with his eyes and realized she was growing up a lot faster after learning about the Divination...

Vahn made his way to his workshop while thinking if he should stop by and try to prank some of the other girls within the Manor before he tried to return to normal. When he was having a discussion with Hephaestus earlier, Vahn realized that he couldn't easily alter his form right now and it seemed like the [Transfiguration Lens] was holding his current shape. He very well might be stuck as Tiona for the entire twenty-four hours at this rate, not that it particularly bothered him. It was sure to cause a small stir within the girls of the Manor, but Vahn expected them to be more intrigued than off-put by the current situation.

Using the tips he had received from Tsubaki and Hephaestus, Vahn began to set out various types of hide and leathers that he was going to treat in order to soften them up. Treating them made the material slightly weaker, but Vahn was going to be working with several layers for the final design and it wouldn't make a big difference. He used slightly thicker parts to cover the important areas, like the heart, spine, kidneys, and the interior of the thigh, before covering the entire thing with a thin layer of shadowsilk. The final interior base ended up looking like a bodysuit that covered the neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and thighs. Vahn felt it looked a little bit like the start of an assassin's outfit and decided that he needed to use lighter colors for the exterior layers if he wanted to avoid making things excessively dark.

Once he was finished with the interior design, Vahn turned his attention to the four girls that had shown up previously and had been watching him work for a fair amount of time. Seeing that he was now paying attention to them, Tiona shot up from the sofa and approached Vahn like a charging animal as she began to pat around and inspect his body with glittering eyes and a large smile on her face. Tione gave Vahn a strange look and said, "I'm not even sure what to say about this..." Ais, however, seemed to find the current situation pretty interesting as she joined Tiona in inspecting Vahn's figure.

To save the girls the effort, Vahn equipped a stretchy amazonian top and a pair of small shorts so they wouldn't strip off the clothes he was wearing. Tiona's eyes widened for a brief moment before she began laughing and said, "This is totally cool~! It's like looking at a mirror image of myself, ehehehehe~!" Tione looked Vahn up and down before focusing on a specific part of his body and nodded her head as she said, "Indeed...I could have almost mistaken him for me if not for a certain aspect..." Since Vahn didn't have his hair tied up like Tiona, it was hanging loosely around his head and there wasn't a great difference in his appearance compared to Tione, except that his hair was shorter.

Tiona didn't seem to mind Tione's little quip as she completely ignored the remark and asked, "Did you really become me completely~?" Vahn shook his head and said, "Maybe appearance-wise, but it hasn't affected my skills and abilities at all..." Toward the end of Vahn's words, he transformed into his Báihǔ form and caused the eyes of all four girls to widen greatly. His black hair become white, with black undertones, and his brown eyes turned blue as a tiger-like tail poked out of his exposed backside. Fur grew along his forearms and calves at a visible rate and a pair of circular tiger ears popped out of his hair moments later. To emphasize he was still himself, even more, Vahn held up one of his claws and a tiny flame appeared at the tip of his finger.

Though her eyes had already been shining like stars, Tiona's eyes shone with greater intensity as she held up both hands and said, "So coooool~! I wish I could transform like this~!" She picked up Vahn's free hand and began running her fingers through the relatively thick white and black fur with an unconcealed interest in her expression. Lefiya seemed to hint up something, however, as she asked, "If your body has changed into that of Tiona's, how are you able to so easily use your magic and other abilities? Did the flow of energy in your body not change? What race are you currently?"

Lefiya had grown somewhat accustomed to Vahn's 'abnormalities' and had been assisting Riveria a lot in her research when she had free time. Seeing Vahn transform and use magic so easily caused several new questions to appear in her mind because, as Vahn himself had stated, the only difference between races was the flow of their energy. If Vahn was emulating Tiona's body, he should have replicated her flow and lost the ability to use magic entirely. The fact that he was able to do so meant there was more going on than physical changes.

Vahn had tilted his head in contemplation as Tiona handled his body freely and played with his arms, ears, and even his somewhat sensitive tail. What Lefiya was saying was correct so Vahn had started to inspect the inner workings of his body in detail in order to better understand the changes that had occurred. Since he had Tiona standing next to him, he could directly compare himself with her and find abnormalities much faster. Vahn hadn't really thought about it earlier, as he had been talking to Hephaestus while maintaining his [Enkidu], but the energy flow he had manipulated to change his body was his default flow. Even though he was in the form of Tiona, his energy was still normal and wasn't remotely similar to the somewhat ditzy Amazon.

After realizing this, Vahn explained the situation to Lefiya, who had already taken out a notebook, and they began to talk about the possibilities. It seemed that the effect of unique items was much greater than they had anticipated. Either that or it meant that the flow of energy was only one of the factors that determined a person's form and capabilities. Vahn knew about the existence of genetics and wondered if it was possible to emulate a specific flow while manipulating the genetic structure to give something a different shape. If true, Vahn might one day be able to 'engineer' something like a homunculus that had the shape of a human but the energy flow of a dragon. He was nowhere near such capabilities and didn't even know where to start, but it was interesting to think about.

By the time their discussion had come to an end, Vahn was being hugged by Tiona from behind as if she had claimed his current body as her own. Ais seemed to have lost a bit of interest at some point and had started to inspect the designs Vahn was working on, including the under armor which was situated on a mannequin that looked vaguely similar to herself. When the main conversation between Vahn and Lefiya had come to an end, Ais pulled at the fabric a little and asked, "Is this for me...?" Hearing her question, Vahn smiled and tried to liberate himself from Tiona but was held firmly by the Amazon who began to laugh in a playful manner before letting him go.

Vahn could tell that Tiona was a bit 'excited' at the moment and sent a glance toward Tione which was easily interpreted by the elder twin. She felt a little annoyed seeing 'Tiona' behaving like Vahn as she wore completely different clothes than were commonly worn by their people. The Vahn version of Tiona looked a lot more casual and confident than Tiona herself and Tione realized she was also likely overshadowed by him a bit. It was easier to tolerate in his base form, but now that they looked almost identical to each other, Tione couldn't help but feel a little bothered...

To answer Ais's question, Vahn picked up the diagram he was working from and explained, "I'm actually trying to make under-armor that can be worn by everyone in the Manor. It's something that can be worn under your normal armor and will provide extra physical, magical, and defensive capabilities. It will probably take a fair amount of research, but I'm confident I'll be able to make armor that is suitable for everyone in the future. I want to make a standardized set of equipment that can be swapped out easily so that I can optimally stock my inventory with interchangeable parts..."

Ais seemed to get excited at the prospect of new equipment, as was evident by the smile on her face. Anything that could make her stronger was something welcome by the little Sword Princess. Since it was something created by Vahn, the same person that produced her [Gram], Ais couldn't contain her own excitement easily and her reaction caused Vahn to smile widely, satisfied by her response. Afterward, Vahn talked a little bit about the specifics and got the input of the present girls about their own preferences for such things.

Tiona and Tione didn't seem to like the idea of having their backs and bellies covered since it would restrict their movements, but Vahn assured them that wouldn't be the case. If they ultimately couldn't tolerate the basic design, however, Vahn offered to tailor it to their liking once he made some headway in his research. Ais, believing that it would make her even stronger, actually asked for a version that covered the entire body. As for Lefiya, she didn't have much input and was just curious about how it would be able to enhance her magical capabilities in the future. Vahn explained about the artificial mana circuits he was going to create and it caused a tiny flame of excitement to burn in the generally bashful Elf's eyes...

Since they didn't want to keep him from his work for too long, the girls prepared to leave after eating a light lunch, provided by Vahn himself. Tiona, however, decided to ask, "How long are you going to be in my body like that?" Vahn tilted his head slightly and said, "Until around 8 AM tomorrow morning...?" Tiona smiled widely at his response and said, "I want to be able to sleep together with you when you're like this~! Tione and I have developed differences over time and seeing your current appearance is like viewing a second twin. Or maybe we can pretend to be triplets~!?"

Tione flinched slightly at Tiona's words before shaking her head and saying, "I'll pass...I'll wait until Vahn returns to normal before sharing the same bed. I have enough stress just dealing with one Tiona..." Hearing her big sister's words, Tiona began to laugh sheepishly as both Ais and Lefiya also removed themselves from consideration. Ais liked Vahn's normal state more and it made her feel weird seeing him look like Tiona. As for Lefiya, she also felt it was a little strange seeing two Tiona side-by-side and wanted to stay with Ais instead. Tiona became a little dejected by the girls' reactions but Vahn reached out his hand and patted the top of her head and said, "Sure..." completely banishing any negative thoughts that were beginning to well up inside her.

Vahn would have to talk it over with Eina, but he also expected she would sleep in her own room given his current appearance. Even though most of the girls were relatively fine with being in the same room, even during intimate moments, it was only because Vahn himself was there guiding things along somewhat. It was perfectly normal for the girls to have some inhibitions about sharing the same bed with him in his current state, even if they didn't actually do anything sexual. Vahn could tell by their auras that they didn't actually have any negative thoughts about his appearance and was even certain he could 'convince' them if he wanted to. However, Vahn wasn't fond of forcing such situations on people and let them act as they pleased.

After the girls left, Vahn continued working on the under-armor and started the arduous process of creating the scales and trying to attach them to the outfit. Because he couldn't recognize the material that was used in the Divination, Vahn assumed it was something he had created himself and began experimenting with different methods to produce them. Since the base material was bluish-black in coloration, Vahn assumed it had been made of Mithril, as it was also capable of conducting mana and served a similar function.

Making the actual scales was harder than he expected since the material needed to be incredibly thin. Vahn ultimately had to 'shave' off flakes of Mithril using an Adamantine scalpel before shaping them into the correct size. As for the runes, and the mana circuits, Vahn used his [Eyes of Truth] to create an incredibly thin channel before using a need to methodically insert flakes of Orichalcum into the channel. Once he got enough inside, Vahn used his ability to infuse fire elements into an object in order to melt down just the orichalcum itself so it would become a singular solid. By the time he was finished with one scale, it had taken more than an hour and Vahn was certain this wasn't the correct method.

Though he was positive the end result would be S-Ranked, Vahn knew this wasn't a practical method since each set of under-armor would take thousands of such scales before reaching completion. Even if he worked on a single set for an entire month, Vahn probably wouldn't finish unless there were absolutely no hiccups. Since he wanted to create several sets of such equipment, there simply wasn't enough time if he used this method the entire time. He either needed to come up with a way to mass produce the scales, or he needed to find a more practical method to replace them. Vahn even began to suspect that it wasn't actually scales that he had seen in the second layer, but simply a pattern that he had carved into a mesh layer in order to emulate a similar function.

With his new train of thought, Vahn pulled out a piece of wyvern skin and tried carving a scaled pattern into the tough, but malleable, material. He found that it was much easier than trying to create individual scales, but it didn't seem like the solution he was looking for. He had some success carving runes on the surface of the wyvern hide but there was no easy way to create the mana circuits that would be necessary to activate them. Though the hide allowed mana to flow through it, it wasn't remotely as efficient as a material like Mithril so Vahn ended up scrapping the idea after an additional three hours of work. After taking several notes on potential solutions, which also documented his failures, Vahn cleaned up his workshop and decided to call it quits for the day.

As he had exerted himself a fair amount during the production process, Vahn had decided to take a bath before dinner. However, he quickly realized things weren't so 'simple' since he was still in the form of Tiona and it almost seemed 'risque' to take a bath right now. Of course, Vahn's curiosity won out in the end and he proceeded into to the bath without any real hesitation. It was a strange feeling, being attracted to his own form as he undressed, but it was also somewhat exciting and Vahn felt like everything he was experiencing was 'new'. The way a woman felt excitement was decidedly different from a man and Vahn could feel a giddy feeling in his lower body that had never existed before.

Since it was common for many of the girls to bathe before dinner, there were several present, including Tiona herself. Though there was a bit of confusion at first, people quickly realized it was Vahn that had arrived and a stir passed in the bath when they saw 'his' naked figure. The biggest reaction, unsurprisingly, came from the girls Vahn wasn't involved with, such as Preasia, Tina, and Shizune. Fenrir didn't seem to care at all and had Vahn was her body as if there had been no changes in his appearance. As for his own body, he lost the right to wash himself and it was left to Tiona and Syr to take care of the task. Syr didn't seem to be too affected by his change and, toward the end of the bath when they were getting dried off, actually asked if he wanted her to stay the night.

Vahn was tempted by the idea but knew things would probably develop in a 'strange' way if he added someone like Syr to the mix. Syr teased him a little after his refusal but didn't make any efforts to try and convince him otherwise. Afterward, Vahn got to experience having his own hair brushed by another person for the first time as Tiona treated his body as her personal plaything as he brushed Fenrir's hair. She even used ornaments to style up his hair in a similar manner to her own and seemed to really enjoy 'testing' new styles using Vahn as a template.

Since he could change clothing in an instant, Vahn was able to show off a variety of different outfits to the insatiably curious Amazon before dinner was finally completed. Vahn actually enjoyed the experience a fair amount because he also got to see 'Tiona' in the outfits that she was interested in while looking at himself in a standing mirror. As long as he didn't consider the reflection to be himself, Vahn found it was much easier to cope with wearing women's clothing...

Dinner was decidedly more awkward than normal and Vahn found himself flanked by Tiona and Tione so they looked like triplets that were sitting together. This was Emiru's and Maemi's first time seeing his current appearance and both girls seemed to take a big mental impact at the change. Vahn assured everyone that his current appearance would return to normal by the end of training tomorrow and pacified them with strawberry cheesecake and milk-tea. The awkwardness of the girls had been spreading to him and Vahn had started to feel very embarrassed by his decision to turn into Tiona earlier in the day.

Of course, not every girl had a negative reaction as Vahn seemed to be very popular with the youth troupe, after they had adapted to the change, as well as the more mature women like Tsubaki, Milan, and Syr. As for Eina, she hadn't been present for dinner as she was having a small celebratory party with her former colleagues that worked with her at the Guild. She was aware of Vahn's current change, however, and had informed him that she would be sleeping in the bed next door unless he specifically needed her.

As a result, Vahn ended up retiring to his room with just Tiona since he had declined the offers of both Syr and Loki, who had reached out to him through the network. Tiona didn't seem to like the idea of Loki showing up and playing with 'her' body so it ultimately resulted in just the two of them sharing his bed. For the moment he entered the room, however, Vahn felt like he had made a grave mistake as Tiona instantly clung to his body in an overly affectionate manner and said, "I can control my urges much better when you're like this...it makes me want to play with you lots and lots~!" as she began to nibble on his ear...
