Chapter 226: Letâs Have a Love Talk under the Moonlight!
While admiring the clear and serene lake, Sword drank some liquor while I played my lute.
A ăMoonlightă solo. Thatâs a staple of classic guitar play, isnât it? Afterwards I went with ăRecuerdos de la Alhambraă. 1
To be honest, I wouldnât be able to play this beautifully if not for my current body, I think.
Sword listened with his eyes closed while nipping on his booze.
Okay, but wonât you be unable to watch the precious scenery if you keep your eyes closed? I wanted to enjoy the scenery together with you, you know!? âŠor so I thought, but since I guessed that he was probably reminiscing about his past lover, I played the song without saying anything.
âŠSince heâd become quite sentimental, he must have loved her quite a bit and she must have left him behind all of sudden due to some complicated, sticky circumstances. If she had silently left, Sword would have probably searched for her, and with his abilities, itâd be impossible for him to not find her.
âŠHmm, is that why the limpness and his distrust of women?
My current self never fell in love, and since Iâm not one to grow fond of others easily, unlike my otherworld self, I donât understand the feeling of liking a man to the extent of wanting to have sex with them, but if I look at Swordâs state of having become so emotional that you could call it an obsession, it only makes me want to refrain from it more and more.
Itâs great that thereâs no romantic relationship between Sword and me.
I thinkâŠâŠI might possibly be asexual. Itâs not that I confirmed it, but I donât feel like either gender applies to me. No, itâs pretty clear that Iâm no man, of course.
Thatâs why Iâve decided to call myself a ăWomană for the time being, but I still havenât had my first menstruation, and my chest has no protuberances whatsoever. Rather, it feels like ăPlokâă upon touch.
Naturally, I considered it weird at this age as well, but since I didnât particularly minded, I ignored it up until now.
ââWell, I donât really care whether Iâm a woman, man, or asexual anyway!
Just like I donât feel like having sex with anyone, I donât intend to become a couple with someone. Given that people have been mistaking me as a boy and since Sword teased me about it as well, Iâve insisted on being a woman while using myself as a joke, but it doesnât trouble me to be mistaken in the least.
After all, I possess legs so beautiful that I can enchant anyone!
Sword mentioned that he wants to spend the rest of his life together with me, but, if he meets some nice woman, Iâm going to entrust him to her, and spend my life on some floating island without dragons while having the Ryokus and other golems serve me. And I think Iâll search for a spell to make a soul sleep for eternity so that I wonât ever be reincarnated.

As I pondered about such things while playing my lute, Sword had opened his eyes at some point, staring at me.
ââŠOne day, if you grow tired of adventurinâ and say that you wanna retire, your gonna live with me, right?â
âŠâŠ
Why can he read my mind?
ââŠAs long as you donât meet a woman who can rock your boat, that is. If you do, Iâll let her have you.â
âWhat the hellâs up with that?â
He hugged me, that drunkard.
ââŠWhat would you do if you ran into the guy from your previous life?â
That question again?
âNo matter which guy from my previous life it might be, all of them had dated my otherworld self, no? My current self is completely untouched. I never dated anyone and Iâm a maiden!â
ââŠâŠYeah, right. âŠâŠMmh, maiden, eh?â
Gaaaaaaaaah!
âWhatâs with that ambiguous way of leaving things unsaid!?!â
Once I shook him, he surrendered.
âGotcha. Your right. Your a maiden, I sâpose. Yep, unlike me your unused.â
âItâs still intact! If you donât believe me, then check it yourself!â
âNo, sorry. Iâll refrain. I donât wanna see it.
The fuck!? He doesnât want to see the secret place of a virgin!?
That made me feel like wanting to show it to him even more, but then he caressed my head so as to soothe me.
ââkay, your a maiden. And, Iâm slightly used, but well, Iâm always as good as new.â
âYou were broken quickly during use and your current uselessnessâsâŠouch, ouch, oooouuch!!â
My temples were ground.
âThatâs why you can feel safe with me, right? You donât need to worry about me attacking your chastity. âŠWell, I doubt any guy would attack you ânyway and even if they did, youâd turn the tables on âem⊠I can protect your chastity.â
âŠWell, at present, where Iâm being mistaken for a guy, I think itâd be smarter to worry about my butt, but I think a man capable of attacking me one way or the other doesnât exist anyway.
âHrmm. âŠBut Sword, you might have slightly bad luck with women, but isnât that also because you tend to give up quickly? Wouldnât it be good if you could become a bit more open-minded and easygoing towards women, in case you happened upon a woman you love?â
ââŠâŠSince I donât feel like wanting to get along with women to such an extent, that remains impossible.â
Uuhh, I see. Thatâs a clear sign of him being broken. Just what youâd expected from a limp-dick.
