“I wish you a good morning, Alim, Mika!”
It was the day Karua would go home. In a rare occasion, she had woken up before us and was sitting on the sofa.
“Mh~… morning.”
“Good morning, Karua.”
Still, both Mika and I woke at the same time. As usual, Mika had been clinging to my arm until the moment she woke up, so it was numb without any feeling in it.
While we were preparing breakfast, Lilo and Myuri arrived in our room. After eating, we spent the whole time until noon by playing games.
“Come to think of it, why is Yggdrasil trying to start a war with this country?” Mika asked Karua, as we were playing Sugoroku.
They had been talking about politics, which likely led to this topic.
“Ah… let me think, we were on somewhat bad terms with that country for a long time due to how slaves were treated, among other things… Ever since the country of the holy tree’s current king assumed power, it became worse… I do not know the reason. Father might have some information from our spies.”
“Oh… that sounds tough. Well, it is how it is. But we’re here now, so you and the others can rest safe, Karua. If you got trouble, we’ll help.”
I was focusing on my next move in the game, when Mika asked me for my thoughts.
“Yep, just as you say,” I replied for now.
As a matter of fact, I don’t know much about that country. Still, if war were to break out, I should be able to end it without any injuries on either side! They might have some powerful weapon… or some secret plan, but I’m sure I’ll manage somehow! Probably.
“Eh-heh-heh, thank you so much! Oh, Alim, you owe me 20’000 En1.”
“Wha-!?”

“That was delicious!”
We had just finished eating lunch. Karua and the others were planning to go home at 5 pm, so we only had four hours left.
“There is little time left, is there not? Well, it is already clear what we shall do with it.”
“That’s right, it’s obvious what we’ll do.”
As they said that, Myuri on Lilo went on the attack.
I could no longer move. Well, if I really wanted to, I could have. I was mostly putting up with it, since I already knew what they were going to do.
Lilo started poking my left cheek, while Myuri took the right. Contrary to expectations, Karua and Mika didn’t grope my chest and started fondling my thighs instead.
They’ve been toying with me every day, so I don’t feel like I want them to stop that much, you know2.
…Still, doing that without any break for four hours is kinda tough. On me, that is.
“Hey, hey, Alim?” Lilo asked as she was lightly poking my cheek.
“Mh, what ish it?”
“I wanted to ask before, but what’ll become of that special training you promised us? We can’t leave the capital of this country, right?”
“That’sh true. Shtill, I’m shure it’ll… Eek!”
In a surprise attack, Mika started rubbing my slender belly. It was so unexpected, I ended up producing a strange shriek.
“Why do you think so?”
“Geez… Well, it’ll work out some way or other. That way, we’ll look forward to it more, I guess.”
“Heh-heh, I see… Gotcha!”
Lilo began stretching my cheek. When Myuri saw that, she started doing the same.
Thus, we really ended up spending four hours like this.
I’m starting to wonder whether they see my skin as some legend-grade item.
Back in Japan, there was a time when Mika often made me wear girl’s clothes and I worried for some time whether I was actually a woman. That was around the first year of middle school. After all, everyone made fun of me, saying that I looked like a girl. Though I didn’t believe it myself.
Perhaps that’s the reason I had little reluctance to use the Gender Exchange skill…? Not that I know for sure.
And now, it’s my skin that captivates everyone? I don’t actually believe that, but from how the people around me react, it makes you think so.

“Thank you for taking care of me for this one week,” Karua told us.
“Can we come visit you again?” Lilo asked.
Finally, the time had come for Karua, Lilo, and Myuri to return to the castle.
Hm~, that was a very intense week, wasn’t it…?
“Yes, you absolutely can!” Mika told them.
“Alim, Mika, please come play with me again, soon!” Karua exclaimed.
“Of course!” I affirmed her.
Come to think of it, lots of things happened.
In the middle of it, Rose joined us, while eating stuff to our heart’s content, sushi showed up for some strange reason, we had fun in the bath, I was treated like a dress-up doll, my body was played with, my cheeks were poked, and prodded, and stretched, and stroked, and squeezed, and so on…!
“Then… See you!”
The three girls opened the door and left our house. We waved at them until it closed again.
TL notes:
And that’s finally it for Karua’s visit, which started back in volume 9. I feel like the author treated this mini arc too much like filler chapters to take a break from the Yggdrasil arc. Maybe planning out some more scenarios for those days in advance would’ve helped? Or maybe that’s just me getting numb to these chapters that always seem to feel the same?
Speakers were unclear in places, so some names might be wrong.
