Nightmarish Reality
How did it come to this.
"Fuhaa. You're so pretty, Kajikawa-san, bfft...!"
"I saw that bfft-ing dangit, Reina!!"
"...But, you are pretty."
Reina couldn't hold back her laughter in the midst of praising me. Alma followed up with a word of praise.
Stop it. This is the one and only time Alma's praise isn't giving me joy.
"My bad for putting you through this, Kajikawa-san. We don't got enough people with just me, see."
"I don't buy that crap! You're so obviously enjoying this!"
<<Well your Menu was surprisingly cooperative about the whole thing. How eager are you about wanting to see Kajikawa-san as a woman?>>
<<...This measure is necessary to maintain connection with Neo Raifu. There is no ulterior motive.>>
"Come on, go and see a mirror. You're an absolute beaut!"
I almost fell down on all four when I saw myself in the mirror.
I've gotten shorter, my hair's grown to my back. My shoulders shrunk. My whole body has gotten smaller as a whole.
Yet all the curves are filled up. It's a woman's body no matter how you look at it. Thank you so much.
...No I'm not crossdressing. I've really turned into a woman.
Hero-kun's Menu transferred the 'Gender-change Medicine' Alma's parents brought back from Floor 21 and then my Menu dumped it directly in my stomach.
It's the advent of Kajikawa Hikaru (♀) *dramatic*. Just kill me.
...Like seriously, how did I end up looking like my mother during her younger day...
The reason why I'm doing all this stems from reports of suspicious shadows tailing Continent 1 princesses as of late. The princesses consulted Hero-kun to act as their bodyguard.
A once every ten year Kingdom Fest is going to be held for several days starting tomorrow. The princesses have to frequently go out in public which puts them in danger.
...Then don't.
I was feeling sorry for Hero-kun to be stuck with another troublesome sounding job just when he finally got some time to rest from the rebuilding effort. But no more.
He came for us to ask for help with the escort mission.
I thought Hero-kun alone could ace it with the help of Menu but apparently there are more 'Continent 1 Princesses' than he could handle.
"To top it off, the bodyguard has to stay by their side and be a woman. Why'd they even go to me then. What the heck."
"Isn't it because they mistook your gender, Neora-kun?"
"I lost count how many times I told them I'm a man..."
"And since each princess needs one bodyguard, we don't have enough people to cover them all."
Levia and Olivier shrugged their shoulders behind Neora-kun.
Looks like they're not really on board with it but they can't exactly ignore a request coming from a kingdom itself.
"...How many princesses are there anyway?"
"There's nine of them in total... It's a huge family."
"But you'll only have five women even if you add Alma and Reina in the mix. I can't take part cuz I'm a man."
"Oy, don't think I'd overlook you casually counting me as a girl."
"Aina-san, Hyula-san and Instructor Lunatiara have agreed to help, so we're only short one person now..."
<<That's where this thing comes in! 'A medicine that changes your gender for 24 hours'! Let me just administer one...>>
"Eh? Wh, what, oy, Menu! What the hell did you doooooo!!"
Hero-kun crouched down with a red face.
Just as I was about to ask him what's up, I noticed a change in his body.
His hair grew a bit, his naturally dainty body got even slimmer, he got more woman-like curves as a whole.
...You can't call his, no, her body a man's anymore.
A beauty blonde has taken up the stage, unfused.

"Ne, Neora...?"
"Neora-san, became a girl...!?"
"Oy, Menu, dammit!! The hell were you playing at, turn me back nooooooooow!!!"
<<Uhyaa, you're cuter than ever...>>
"Shut it! Turn me back already! Back, nooow!"
<<You will in 24 hours. Ah, taking another pill will just prolong the effect, so let's just wait for it au naturale okay.>>
"Now now, Neora-san. Asides from your hair growing a bit and your tits and butts poking out more, you haven't changed much, you know~."
"...Is that supposed to console me?"
Hero-chan got on all fours. This is just terrible.
And by that I mean, I don't feel anything different with his usual self despite his gender change. Heck, this feels more at home instead.
<<So yeah, the last one is gonna be Kajikawa-san. Ah, Default-ko over there. I'll be transferring the gender-change drug over to you, give it to Kajikawa-san.>>
<<Affirmative. Administering in progress.>>
"Eh, wha!? H-h-h-hold it right there, why do I haftaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"
And thus born, Kajikawa (♀).
...I'm a newlywed y'know. Why's first thing after getting married is undergoing a sex-change.
Heck, the fest starts tomorrow, what needs is there doing this now! Get a grip!
"The schedule today is to go meet the princesses, so."
"Bear staying like that until the end of the fest."
...Hero-chan, just you wait.
Afterward, we went to greet the Continent 1 Princesses and I went to my room in a huff.
...I had to do stuff like toilet break and bathing, but I've no willpower left to narrate that...
I saw a weird dream, likely due to this gender change.
I went to kill a furless gorilla, then proceed to roast a fire breathing huge bird with my own fire breath as a girl.
When I almost got myself killed by a huge turtle, I had already become that girl and fought the turtle by time I realized.
...Looks like you get to see a weird dream when you're in an unfamiliar body sleeping in a new environment.
