Nice to Meet You, Lady Urizabeth

Here are your two beers!

Do you need anything else? Hehe.

...gulp.

Another round of beer!

Oh my, you just got these, and you already want more?

For such enthusiastic customers, I should give a special service!

Here you go! Moe moe!

You've brought in quite the capable employee.

Uh... yeah. I guess so.

How long are you going to keep gawking? Your mouth is about to drop open.

E-Ethan, c-can you even call that dancing?

P-Princess! I can't watch this anymore...!

...I don't remember anything.

You passed out after just one drink.

Nothing much happened, so don't worry.

That's the problem!

Damn it...! A rare succubus event, and I blacked out before I could do anything...!

Sigh... If only you were this diligent in searching for the Holy Sword, you would have found it already.

Someone help...! I didn't expect my charms wouldn't work...!

What the...? Why is she here?

Could it be...?

Let's go help her first!

Thank you, Master! I expect nothing less from my contractor!

Why did you follow me all the way here?

Because we made a contract! A contract with a succubus is eternal, you know?

Contract? What are you talking ab...

You were so cool today, Master!

I'm looking forward to being with you from now on♥

Hey, ya hear the news? That guy Finn is being targeted by an orc.

That weirdo? He's always running into trouble, y'know?

But it's not just any orc.

Rumor has it, it's an orc wearing panties and a cape...!

Haha! Are you already drunk?

No way an orc would walk around wearing such a thing!

...

Hey, Elizabeth... are you thinking of the same orc I am...?

Ethan, let's go.

Huh?

I can no longer stand by and let the royal family be insulted like this!

But, Princess, your shift isn't over yet...

It's fine, Bedi. Lilith can cover for us.

I told you, I don't know!

Lies! This happened after you sold me that armor!

Turn me back to normal... NOW!

There he is! It's Urizabe, huh?

Ethan... doesn't something seem off about Urizabeth...?

Yeah... his body is... uhh...

...Alluring.

...

...Maybe he just gained some weight? Let's go!

Ugh...! Are you here to meddle with me again?

You seem to have gotten a lot weaker... or did we get stronger?

It's all because of that armor...

After I put it on that day... My body started changing.

And this morning...!

I turned into a woman!

...

...I guess the beating wasn't enough. Clearly, I didn't hit you hard enough.

It's true! If you have eyes, see for yourself!

...

(Wait... so it wasn't just weight gain? It's real?)

This kind of body only gets in the way of battle.

That's why... I came looking for this guy to turn back into a man!

I told you! I don't know anything!

Hmm... do you have any proof that the armor caused this?

Maybe you ate something you shouldn't have...?

I only eat the finest food! This has never happened before!

How can we believe tha...

Master, this orc lady isn't lying.

Woah! Did you follow us here?

Lilith?

What about the inn?

The manager told me I can leave early today, so I came straight here!

Anyway, this orc here is telling the truth.

You mean the armor really did this to him?

The armor the Princess is wearing is absolutely brimming with feminine energy.

It even rivals my own uniform.

If you keep wearing something like that for too long...

Well, turning into a woman isn't entirely impossible, hehe.

What kind of ridiculous plotline is that...

It's hard to believe... but it makes sense.

I mean, just look at that outfit...

Then how do we turn him back?

U-Uhm... That, I don't really know...

Hurry up...! Turn me back, or...!

I'll summon every orc in the region to this town!

What?

W-what do we do, Ethan? If the orcs attack, the inn could be destroyed...

If that happens, Ria would turn us into slaves, not employees!

(I definitely don't want to be on Ria's bad side either...)

(For now, let's just cooperate.)

Fine, we'll help you turn back.

But once you do turn back, you have to burn whatever that is you're wearing. Deal?

...Fine! I'll never wear it again!

Ethan. You know I don't have the power to change someone's gender, right?

Yeah, like I'd expect that from a little kid like you.

Who are you calling a little kid, you perverted pig?!!!

Well, he's still an orc, despite what he may look like now. That means we need to find an orc expert.

Wait... you don't mean...

Yep. We're going to see Rachel.

Hey! Rachel!

Ethan! It's been a while!

And that person next to you... Gasp! Could it be?!

Yeah. We need your help turning this orc back into a man.

This is... This is the most pristine test sample I've ever seen...!

Uh, test sample...?

I want to dissect it immediately! That's why you brought it, right? Can I begin right now? Huh? Now?

Ethan... Rachel's really starting to scare me...!

I never back down from a fight!

Damn it! Why am I always surrounded by maniacs!

So it wasn't a test sample, but a patient... You should've said so from the start!

...Who was the one that attacked without listening?

Rachel, do you have any medicine for a case like this?

Unfortunately, this is the first time I've seen such a condition... I'll have to figure it out myself.

...

...So, the cause is an excessive intake of female essence, right?

Then, conversely, if we replenish the orc's male essence, he might return to normal.

Let's gather male goblin eyes and make a potion!

Kehhek! A woman! Capture her!

Master, that goblin's essence is incredibly concentrated.

Living up to his name, I guess...

Alright, let's finish this quickly and head back!

Here, lady Urizabeth, drink this.

...

Gulp.

Augh?!

W-Why, what's wrong?

It's... disgusting...! It tastes like death!

...

...Looks like our first attempt didn't work.

That potion was made with 100 goblin eyes... what a waste...

Th-Then what do we do now? Should we try orcs next?

Judging by the results, it seems monster essence won't work.

It might be better to look for medicinal herbs instead.

Tch, let's hurry before it gets dark.

Damn... I can't see anything because of the thick foliage.

I can't even swing my sword properly... This is frustrating.

...?

Could it be a slime?

...!

That cute scream... Could it be Bedivere?

You...! What do you think you're doing?!

...!????!!???!

W-Why are you here? Where are the others?

They went further inside.

More importantly...

Why did you grab my ass?

Uh... well, you see...

I asked why you grabbed my ass, human.

..........

..........

So that's your preference, huh.

No, that's not it...

Were you that lonely, to resort to something like this?

No, I swear...

But I am a man. We can never be...

UWAAAAAAGH!!!

KYAAAAAH!!

Y-You dare challenge me to a duel?!

You idiot! Stop getting weird ideas!

Ugh... darn...

Ethan! What have you done?!

Urizabeth is now just a delicate orc girl, Ethan!

No, wait, that's not...

Sniff... You're so cruel, human... Even if you wish to make me your bride...

Ugh... Uwaaagh!!

Damn it...! Why do I keep thinking about it!

That scream... Could it be Elizabeth?

The time has come!

Kekeke! You always looked down on us! Look at you now!

S-Stop! I am a proud Orc Lord...!

Kekeke! Give it up already! There are no orcs here to save you!

Ugh...

...I wonder why.

If that orc dies here, all my problems are solved.

Why can't I just turn away?

Hey! Over here, you goblins!

That orc there is actually a man. You sure you can handle it?

Kekeke! You must be blind, human!

You see these mouth-watering curves? And you're telling me she's a man?!

...No, I'm just warning you. You might regret it.

Kekeke... You think we'll just leave because you say so?

You'll be our dinner tonight!

...

So, the 107th herb failed as well...

Maybe it's because I haven't slept... My head is spinning...

Ethan! Let's head back already! I'm starving!

...

Urizabeth.

Why don't you just live on like this?

Ethan?!

Ethan... Don't tell me...

...I refuse.

Why?

Because I am a proud Orc Lord.

Then I'll help you until you find a cure. Of course, we'll need to take breaks...

I refuse that too.

...Why?

If I stay with you...

I will no longer be a warrior.

...

Ethan... So as long as they're big and plump, you don't care if it's an orc anymore?

No!

Thank you for your help. I'll handle the rest myself.
