Cruxie was trying to escape, but canāt seem to move well due to the high viscosity of the slime.
[This thing!]
I threw a slash, but just pierced itās body a bit.
And it quickly recovered.
ćāIt wonāt work.Ā We need to do a more powerful attackā ć
[Thenā¦..]
I stepped back and made a stance with the sword, and accumulated āā power.
<Load>.
It is one of the abilities of Venus.
Build up my entire body of energy by holding my breath and then having a clear image in my head.
And then release it, making it explode.
After taking a breath, a total of eight blades were thrown at the same time.
Unlike before, the attack sliced through itās body forcibly overcoming itās high physical resistance.
The cut places slid like an avalanche.
It seems like it couldnāt hold itās shape, as itās body collapsed and the slime remains spread across the ground.
[Coff, Coffā¦ ..]
Cruxie who was finally freed was coughing when he fell to the ground.
It looks like heās ok.
[Are you okay ?, Cruxiā¦ .. uohh?]
I went over and tried to speak to him, but when I stepped on the remains of the slime my feet slipped.
Iām about to collapseā¦ā¦ In front of Cruxie.
The viscosity of slime has the ability to dissolve substances like stomach acid.
Because of that, Cruxieās clothes were torn, and he was almost naked.
ā¦ā¦ .This is bad, at this rate I will go straight to Cruxieās crotch.
Even i donāt want that.
If I dive into it now, then āā- huh?
At that moment, I witnessed something shocking.
[He doesnāt haveā¦.?]
In addition to his pants, his underwear also melted and his crotch was exposed.
Having landed on his backside, he was in a spread-legged stance i could see everything.
I was very confused and stunned as i fell.
Because of that I couldnāt take any evasive action, thenāā
[[Huh !?]]
āāI landed on thatā¦ ..
[N-Noooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!]
A loud scream echoed.
No matter how you think about it, that was a girlās cry.
*
[C-Cruxieā¦ ..you, a-are youā¦ ..a girlā¦ ..?]
I canāt believe what I saw with my eyes, so I asked fearfully.
But it was not because of that.
It was because my face landed on his, no, hers.
[ā¦ā¦ Sniff ā¦ā¦ Sniff ā¦ā¦]
He did not answer my question, Cruxie who was hiding her naked body with a cloak was sobbing.
F-For now, I think I have to apologizeā¦.
[I-Iām sorryā¦ ..I-I didnāt knowā¦ ..]
Hey wait, if he was pretending to be a man then I obviously didnāt know.
ā¦ā¦ No, if you think about it, there were many hints of that several times.
Then I remembered when I told him about the brothel, and what happened in the hot springs.
But what am I doing?
ćKukuku!Ā As always you are very interesting!Ā I didnāt think you were lucky like that, it completely exceeded my expectations.Ā Heavens, something incredible was seen ć
Shut up.
ā¦ā¦ .Wait, did you notice?
ćāOf course!Ā Where is there a man who has that nice ass !? ć
Then you should have told me earlier.
ćIdiot, that wouldnāt be funć
I can hit her right? Right !?
ćOww !?ć
At that moment Aria appeared from the other side of the passage.
[Well, why is Cruxie crying?]
[ā¦ ..There is a good explanationā¦ ..]
I started explaining the preceding events to Aria (trying to fool her as much as possible).
[Huh? Could it be that you noticed?]
[I wasnāt entirely sure, but I thought it was a possibility]
Seriously?Ā So I was the only one who didnāt noticeā¦.?
[Why were you hiding the fact that you were a girl in the first place?]
[W-Wellā¦.]
Cruxie was a bit hesitant, but I guess she thought she had no choice but to tell the truth now that it came to this.
[ā¦ ..I am an Amazon]
[Amazon?Ā That tribe of warrior women?]
Yes, Cruxie nodded.
Speaking of the Amazons, they are a tribe that played a great role on the battlefields as the strongest mercenaries.
The countries that hired them was always victorious in vital battles, it is said that there was a fierce battle between each country to monopolize the Amazons.
Their biggest feature is that they are only women.
According to one theory, it is said that only girls are born in the Amazons.
The other is their extraordinary physical strength.
For that reason Cruxie has such great strength.
[ā¦ā¦ I have to pretend to be a man until retirement.Ā That is our rule]
In an army made up mostly of tough men, several problems would arise if there was a woman among them.
That is why the Amazons must hide the fact that they are women.
[So thatās why you were pretending to be a manā¦ ..]
[Although itās an old ruleā¦.]
[So is it a bad thing for someone to find out that you are a girl?]
[Huhā¦ ..]
When I asked her casually, for some reason Cruxie had a red face and fell silent.
[Cruxieā¦ ..?]
[T-This ā¦ā¦ well ā¦ā¦ you seeā¦ ..]
After hesitating briefly, Cruxie clenched her fist as if determined, and said so.
[I-With that person ā¦ā¦ I-I have to ā¦ā¦ I-give birth to a childā¦ ..!]
