Chapter 123: The Death-God Kamikaze Dress of Certain Men

"I shouldn't have worried! I should have asked him why he wasn't speaking!!"

"Yeah, I'm really sorry, I wasn't able to hold the reins of the Delicious No. 0."

While shouting, Sora greedily ate the purple stew, which was completely different from Medea's poison swamp and giant stew.

It was rare to see her with such naturally elegant eating habits, but the unsuspecting media completely agreed with Sora's statement, apologizing while glaring at the culprit, Knuckles.

After crying to the media for an hour and a half, Sora's anger had still not subsided. Even so, it would be better if I could say words other than "Minimum, minimum, minimum!" now.

It got better, but I feel sorry for Knuckle, I'm embarrassed.

The bamboo shoots are also guns; no matter what that person says, it will only be counterproductive. Contrary to its appearance, the meat and onions are burnt, while the potatoes and carrots are raw.

In a sense, for someone who is not good at cooking, this first impression might be the lowest expectation for cooking, so even if you make other mistakes, you might think, "What is this?"

"Oh, already! Or rather, Medea-san should do this! You hate men so much that you became friends with Atalante!"

While gulping down the stew with this implicit compliment, Sora also began to lash out at Medea.

Sora basically doesn't get angry at himself, but since he isn't truly immune to topics related to sex, he can't talk about it, and his boiling point seems to be even lower.

"Hmm, if I could be bait, that would be fine... I'm sorry. The reason I hate men is related to why I can't be bait."

"!"

Medea continued to apologize for Sora's shameless remarks, and with these words, Sora's tension suddenly dropped; he quietly put down his spoon and immediately apologized with a face even more apologetic than Medea's.

Conversely, Medea was terrified by this reaction and calmed Sora down with a different meaning.

"Wait, wait, didn't you hear the news about Atalante? Didn't you hear that I overcame my aversion to men and got married about a year ago?"

"... Come to think of it, it seems you did say that."

Sora, who felt a fatal sense of guilt for what he had said, shook his shoulders. Medea used her left hand to indicate that she was already married, and Sora and Atalante were a little... no, a lot. I remember the tired look on Medea's face as I was talking, and some of the guilt subsided.

"Yeah. So don't worry. As for the reason I hate men, even now, I wish I could be completely unhappy, bald. I think I met Lord Soichiro, so I don't care what you say. Anyway, I can't be bait."

Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief, and he smiled and told me why Medea didn't really care about Sora's remarks.

However, because of the reason she didn't care, the story gradually drifted apart, and the story of Medea's husband also turned into just a secret crush.

The guilt had subsided, but Sora, who was too serious to let it go, thought, if this is to make up for the previous faux pas, Atalante looked away. Overcoming hatred for men is a betrayal. I congratulate you on your marriage from the bottom of my heart. But, please don't talk about love for at least an hour.

Fortunately, the Medea flirting ended in 10 minutes, not an hour.

It ended, or rather, Knuckle pointed out from the side, "Hey, if you're going to blame me, then talk about work. Your husband's story has nothing to do with this." Nevertheless, he glared at my Knuckles. As if to say something, but he stopped obediently because he knew it had nothing to do with it.

With the help of these Knuckles, the favorability of Knuckles, which had already fallen into the negatives, improved slightly.

More specifically, he seemed to hit me as a conditioned reflex, so I would return to the level of looking at him with cold eyes. Even after the recovery, the favorability remained negative.

Anyway, thinking that Medea's romance was over, Sora began to elegantly eat the remaining stew on the plate.

Although startled by that posture, Sora finally calmed down, and Medea also stopped eating and whispered with an apologetic face.

"... Sora.

As you may already know, poaching is not the only crime committed by Unicorn poachers, so if you don't protect or drive away the Unicorns as soon as possible and let them know there are no Unicorns here, the worst damage will happen."

Hearing Medea's words, Sora stopped eating for a moment, frowned, and stood still.

This is a cowardly word. I think he knows that too.

But Sora knew it couldn't be helped, because it was the truth.

The Unicorn is a famous horse-shaped divine beast, just like the Pegasus. A white horse with a long, sharp horn on its forehead.

In Sora's world, not only had they long since disappeared from the world stage, but they were rare to begin with, so there were almost no mages familiar with them.

And although it is admitted that it does exist in this world, it seems to be an extremely rare creature in this world as well.

The reason is also the same.

The drill-shaped spiral horn unique to the Unicorn is hailed as a panacea. Therefore, those looking for Unicorns, instead of being confirmed, came in droves to places rumored to be inhabited by Unicorns, frantically searching for them with the intention of hunting them to the ground.

But Unicorns already have a habit of disliking noisy things and things other than natural objects, and they also have high intelligence; they kick, trample, and pierce with their horns. Even if they are seriously injured, they can survive; they belong to the lucky category of fierce beasts.

Such beasts also have weaknesses.

Unicorns basically hate humans; although they don't show it, they are warlike and loathe humans, and will attack and eliminate themselves once discovered, but there is only one exception.

A pure, flawless maiden. Fuck it, I'm a virgin.

For some reason, Unicorns only open their hearts to "pure virgins" and will not harm them even if they enter their territory.

If done poorly, even outside its territory, it will appear in front of a maiden. A virgin, a virgin, only Ni is the holy beast worthy of its majestic appearance.

And I should say this is also a habit; it is believed that a Unicorn virgin only sleeps unprotected on her lap.

Why are Unicorns sensitive to signs of people? A virgin only notices a hunter approaching when he is sleeping on her lap and lends him her leg. It is said that as long as it is not injured, it will continue to sleep even if its horn is cut off.

Knowing its habits, poachers naturally take advantage of it.

However, this condition is difficult.

This may depend on the country's culture and religion, but the modern common sense of chastity is that just because a man or woman is single does not necessarily mean they are pure.

I cannot trust the self-report of a woman who can be used for poaching. There is a way to confirm this, but it is not yet clear what exactly a Unicorn needs to determine that it is a "pure maiden."

Since the word "perfect" is deliberately used as a pillow, if you are not good at it, checking whether you are truly a virgin might even deviate from the Unicorn's "perfect virgin" certification. It is impossible to fix.

So the method poachers take is to use young girls.

It's not even a vagrant, but a kidnapped child, raised in a very honest way, and used as bait.

Of course, the risk is high, but if you are willing to take the risk of not being recognized as a "pure virgin" by the Unicorn, even if you found it from an unreliable self-report, they were born and raised in a very ordinary family, and they probably think that kidnapping a girl would be faster and more certain.

Although children are becoming more and more beautiful now, if they are all around 10 years old and receive proper education, then usually they are absolutely "pure maidens."

The poacher's luck, everyone else's misfortune, what the Unicorn identifies as a "pure maiden" is unknown, but age has nothing to do with that "pure maiden" standard. Whether it is a young woman, a little girl, or an old hag, as long as it is the Unicorn's "pure maiden," the head Kobe only knows how to drool.

This is the essence of Unicorn poaching.

Poaching Unicorns not only threatens the extinction of rare species, but innocent children and families are also highly likely to suffer the most serious losses.

If a Unicorn appears in front of a child who has been kidnapped and used as bait, and notices the poacher before they fall asleep and fights back, the rest is a happy ending because there is no problem with the Unicorn's habits, but the poacher's intent is there. If it succeeds, or if the Unicorn story wasn't a scam to begin with, then the kidnapped child is useless or a burden.

There is no way to expect a person who has committed the crime of kidnapping to, for example, have the conscience to risk their life to return a kidnapped child not only to their parents, but to a place where there are people, as if it were a poaching crime.

It would be kinder to kill them on the spot, depending on how you look at it. Rather than leaving them in a remote forest or mountain area, the suffering would not be prolonged.

"... Even if you don't tell me, I won't stop, so please rest assured. Or rather, if I return here, I will be embarrassed, so please don't say anything more!!"

"That is also true. I am truly sorry."

Even without being told, when realizing that his job was to hunt Unicorns, Sora knew what sacrificing a child meant, so he admitted it was too late to ask Media now, and he pushed them away and pleaded.

Media lowered their head even more apologetically, because they knew their appeal was reasonable.

Sora stared at the lowered head, and so as not to be heard by the two people in the corner of the room who were still eating while on fire, he whispered.

"... I mean, I haven't said whether I've met the conditions yet."

As soon as the words fell, those Media who had raised their heads wiped away all their apologies, and instead said with an impatient look.

"If your reaction were any different, then I wouldn't know what you wanted to do."

Media's completely naked remarks simultaneously attacked her values as a Magician and her shame as a pure maiden, making Sora tear up again.

"Well, I've asked many times, is there really a Unicorn in this forest!? Not just a new breed of horse with a horn, or a sick horse with a keratinous tumor on its head!?"

One week after arriving in the countryside of Kakin, Sora went crazy early in the morning.

Unusual for her, she was angry with herself, but Sora was patient.

Although it was open sexual harassment, it was only because she was "bait for the Unicorn," but there were no results after a week. As long as you don't pride yourself on your own religious or cultural values as being pure, even if you don't have the sense of purity and chastity that Sora has, you usually reach the limit of shame.

However, as bait, although there were no results, Sora's activities were not without results and progress, which is why Sora was able to stick with it for a week.

Horses like Unicorns have been found near here, and the authorities have not yet announced it, but it seems there are already quite a few in the underground area, and I can protect a kidnapped child.

This is why he requested female Hunters like Sora and Atalante to act as bait instead of ordinary people, even if he might be sued for sexual harassment.

Poachers commit kidnapping because they cannot openly recruit bait; if they could act openly, the condition of being a "virgin" would not be that difficult. It is disgusting that countries talk about strict chastity and virginity as a woman's greatest and only value in religious and cultural spheres, but it is common even in modern times.

Especially in religions that value chastity, a maiden chosen by a Unicorn is the greatest honor, so some people will volunteer. However, in this case, the Hunter side would have to carry the luggage alone.

If a melee occurs with the poachers, even if we have to protect the children the poachers are carrying, the poachers have the ability to protect the bait they brought. Depending on the number of people, it is also a burden on the Hunter side.

Moreover, if the Unicorn, which is the main target, also breaks into the brawl, it will be confusing.

From the Unicorn's perspective, the only target that needs protection is a pure maiden, so from the Unicorn's perspective, the poachers and the Hunters fighting to protect the kidnapped children are equally enemies that destroy its territory and harm the maiden. None.

If a Hunter approaches a child to protect it, it is very likely to become prey to the Unicorn's kick or horn.

That is why I want someone who can fight and protect themselves as bait, rather than an ordinary person.

In the worst case, even if the Hunter, the poacher, and the Unicorn become a chaotic trio, if the bait protects the child, the Unicorn will not treat them as enemies and interfere with them, so the innocent victim will be the most innocent victim. I can definitely ensure safety, and the Hunter side only needs to protect themselves, so most of the burden is gone.

It was explained this way, and even if it wasn't, Sora could understand.

So not only Knuckle and Shoot, but the poachers all know I am the bait, and I have been doing asceticism at the pain level for the past week.

To save that child who was suddenly kidnapped for no reason, I have no lies, and I will cast aside my shame.

However, wanting to end it quickly is also the wish of a pure maiden.

With this desperate mood and the pressure of not seeing a Unicorn for a week, Sora immediately looked up at the sky, and as soon as she returned to the empty house where she lived, she screamed in despair, and the two were silent. Pass.

They seemed to understand very well that whatever they said would only add fuel to the fire, and even if they weren't attacked at first, they should be grateful.

So, only Media responded to Sora's roar.

"Well, I feel sorry for you when you say that."

"... At least as long as you haven't found the horse that Media witnessed, this job will continue, right?"

Hearing Media's words, Sora spat out the obvious and sighed deeply.

However, after shouting a little, Sora faced Media and Knuckle, and confirmed the fundamentals again.

"First of all, you don't know if the 'Unicorn horse' that Media witnessed is a Unicorn?"

"Sorry, I saw it on a rainy night, and it ran away before I got close, so I only know 'a white horse with a long horn on its forehead'."

"Well, I've only seen Unicorn stuffing. If the stuffing was fake to begin with, I can't take anything else as a reference."

"But if the Unicorn seen on Media is real, wouldn't that be weird?"

Now that Sora has calmed down, not only Media, but also Knuckle and Shoot have joined the conversation, sharing their thoughts and knowledge.

Agreeing with Shoot's words: "Yeah." Sora crossed her arms and tilted her head.

"First of all, Unicorns don't like humans, noise, and anything other than natural objects, so they say they inhabit remote areas called undeveloped areas or dense forests, right?

The forest here can be said to be rich in natural resources, but such a human village can come and go, and although the human village is a rural area, it is rural enough, not only with electricity, gas, water and other lifelines, but also the Internet.

From the premise, is it a bit strange?"

As Sora said, this land itself has Unicorns, which is a discomfort for those who know little about Unicorn ecology.

Media and Knuckle nodded to each other, and in their professional fields, they knew this better than Sora and Shoot.

"And I'm curious about the lack of hoof prints and feces."

Knuckle said while nodding, although he had not made much progress in catching poachers and protecting children, he had collected enough information to realize that it was "strange."

"Unicorns don't even know what their staple food is, but if their bodies are horses, they are usually herbivores.

If a large herbivorous beast uses this area as a base, it wouldn't be surprising if there were areas where they ate bark or grass after mowing, and it wouldn't be surprising even if they were carnivorous beasts. There is no feces at all. What's even stranger is that you can't find any hoof prints at all.

I'm not a hermit, if it wasn't eating smog and floating in the air, I believe there must be that trace."

"However, even if Media didn't see a Unicorn, wouldn't you say the same thing?"

Sure enough, a week later, Sora, who was not the type to hold his head, nor was he the kind of Sora who deliberately sexually harassed him, came to interact with him normally again. Sora sensed it without being told, held his head and said "Yeah~".

As the mystery continued to increase without being clarified, Shoot said: "Media. I'm sorry, please tell me again about the 'Unicorn' you witnessed."

In response, Media retold the story from about a month ago, which I had told countless times, and tried to remember more details than the last time I told it.

It was just a happy Coincidence that Media heard the rumor that "a Unicorn has settled on this land" earlier than the poachers.

Media did not come to this forest for the Unicorn, but to study a certain type of mushroom, which is the reason they were able to stay one step ahead.

A component that seems effective in treating cancer was discovered in the mushroom, but the growth conditions of the mushroom have not yet been elucidated. I simply came to this forest where it is said that the mushrooms grow well.

In the village closest to the forest, I heard that a Unicorn had taken up residence in the forest, but Medea did not believe it at first.

The reason, of course, is that as Shoot and Sora said, this land is densely populated and highly civilized; a Unicorn could not survive here.

However, the story of the Unicorn was not some fairy tale passed down in the village, but a story from a recent eyewitness.

A few days before Medea arrived at the village, a person who went into the forest to pick wild vegetables saw a white horse with a horn by the river.

Fortunately, the eyewitness knew that a Unicorn is a ferocious beast to anyone other than a pure maiden; in any case, he was able to return to the village unscathed.

Even though I heard such an eyewitness story directly from the person concerned, Medea still did not believe it was a Unicorn.

Even if you have never seen a living Unicorn because they are extremely rare, very few Unicorns are so aggressive toward humans that if you get close enough for anyone other than a maiden to see them, they will attack you without you doing anything. Regarding the confirmation information about Unicorns.

The story had no contradictions, and there was no value in telling such a lie, so I do not think the eyewitness's story itself was a lie, but as Sora guessed, it seems the long horn was due to a mutation or some kind of disease that made it look like a horn. I think it was a horse capable of that.

Nevertheless, if the story of "there really is a Unicorn horse" is circulating, Medea has been manipulated into being a Hunter, a person, a person, I have been kidnapped and separated from my family and hometown. I cannot help but be a person.

That day, the eyewitness spread the story of "I saw a horse that looked like a Unicorn" throughout the village.

From the eyewitness's perspective, this might just be "don't go near the forest because there are bears," but for Hunters who know the damage caused by poaching Unicorns, this is a headache.

If it were a fairy tale, poachers wouldn't believe them, or at least they would conduct a preliminary check before risking kidnapping a child, but if there is an eyewitness story, they will be dazzled by greed; if it is a real Unicorn, they won't see the eerie parts. Unfortunately, neither the eyewitness nor the villagers who heard the story knew that such rumors are more dangerous than a Unicorn; they couldn't imagine it at all.

If the story had only settled in the village, that would have been fine, but although it is a farming village without lodging facilities, the lifeline is strong and the internet is connected, so it is hard to say, but it is rural enough. In a modernized city.

Since the environment is by no means an isolated island on land, the story spread further, and by the time Medea arrived, it was just a "rumor without credibility," but it had already reached the point of being talked about. Thus, Medea officially reported it to the Association, changing the investigation target from mushrooms to the Unicorn-like creature that had been sighted.

Neither the reporting Medea nor the Association side thought the eyewitness was a real Unicorn, so the combat power was poor at first, and since she is married, Medea is naturally not a "pure virgin." I am looking for a spotted horse.

I thought if I could find that horse, if I could prove it wasn't a Unicorn, the rumors would die down and stupid poachers wouldn't appear.

That is why Medea used her Nen Ability to move multiple Puppets, "Dragon Tooth Warriors" mimicking the Phantom Beast said to live in her hometown, and explored the forest using human wave tactics.

Medea's ability Puppets, the "Dragon Tooth Warriors," are unreliable as combat power, considering they are operated by Nen Ability, but the maximum number of Puppets that can be manipulated at the same time is a staggering amount. With nearly a hundred human-sized Puppets, Medea can perceive the presence of humans and beasts through the Puppets, although it is not as accurate as "En." Whether it is looking for a horse that looks like a Unicorn or looking for poachers and protecting a child, he believes his ability is the best and does not need the help of others.

Until the second day of the search, a day of taking precautions, I witnessed the first and only victim, a poacher and the "Unicorn."

"Using the Dolls, I was looking for bark, grass traces, feces traces, hoof marks, just like Knuckle, but I couldn't find them, so is the eyewitness story a hoax? A Unicorn, but I don't know why, it just happened to get close to a human settlement, and I thought it had long since returned to a secluded place where people don't go.

But if it doesn't exist, then it's a Demon, so while I felt it was troublesome, the Puppets discovered a human other than me, so I headed there for the time being."

A rainy night.

Unicorns do not have a habit of acting on rainy days or at night rather than on sunny days or during the day, but this is a convenient condition for poachers to hide and act, so Medea decided to leave the forest that day as a countermeasure against poachers, rather than looking for a Unicorn. I am exploring, and this policy is still the same today, with Sora and the others having their days and nights reversed.

The precautions worked; a truly reckless poacher appeared, and Medea hurriedly sent him and the Dragon Riders she had been looking for elsewhere.

However, the Dragon Tooth Warriors can sense the presence and distance of humans and beasts, and at least sense rough strength, but Medea could not know what kind of actions the other party would take.

So, it is possible that he is not yet a poacher, but a bystander who heard the rumors and wanted to see the rare Phantom Beast. They.

Medea does not know if this decision was right or wrong.

If the poacher was caught by a Doll, perhaps his life could have been saved, but it is more likely to be meaningless.

Within 5 minutes after Medea sensed a sign and started running, another sign was caught.

And just at the moment I felt that presence, a man's wild scream rang out in the forest. It came from the direction Medea and the other Dolls were advancing, the direction the Dragon Tooth Warriors discovered and told him about the poacher and child kidnapper, and the hint of something other than a human.

Startled by the sudden scream, Medea quickened her pace and ordered the Dragon Tooth Soldiers who had been ordered to wait to transmit Aura and capture the "thing."

However, by the time Medea arrived, all they could feel was that the Dragon Tooth Soldiers had nothing left to do and were being destroyed, as if being crushed.

It took less than two minutes from the scream to Medea's arrival, but what they saw was their Dragon Tooth Soldiers being smashed to pieces after being pierced in the chest by something like a spear, and dying. A man, a 5-year-old—a little girl squatting at the waist, too scared to even cry.

And a huge white horse, with a long, sharp horn on its forehead, soaked in rain and blood.

However, Medea could not see the white horse and the man's corpse clearly.

This is because the moment the white horse saw Medea, it thrust its horn into the corpse at its feet and then ran away with the man's corpse.

Thinking it was going to attack me, Medea, who had been manipulating the Dragon Tooth Soldiers, was startled by this sudden movement and her reaction was slow.

After a delay of a few seconds, Medea rushed over to protect the child and sent the Dragon Tooth Warriors to chase the white horse.

Since then, the white horse has never been found again.

About two days later, the corpse of the man who disappeared with the white horse was only partially found downstream.

Only a piece of viscera was washed downstream, and it was confirmed from DNA Analysis and remaining items that the visceral remains belonged to the poacher.

"... No matter how many times I hear it, it's a story that deepens the mystery."

"Yes. Even if I say it myself, I think so."

Medea finished speaking, Sora said his impression hadn't changed from the beginning, and Medea gave a bitter smile in agreement.

And Knuckle, who didn't even have time for a bitter smile, sat cross-legged and scratched his head vigorously, while also saying some obvious things, seemingly to distract himself from his frustration.

"Damn it!

"If you can't find a horse that looks like a Unicorn at all, you can't find it. Even so, it has been confirmed that there is a beast that can harm humans, which is troublesome."

"And, the conditions for causing this harm are a mystery, which is troublesome.

If a poacher was killed to protect a pure maiden like a Unicorn, that would be fine, because the victim deserved it, but in that case, he quickly retreated in front of Medea, and that man's corpse. I'm worried that I took this

"... And only internal fragments of that man's corpse were found."

Shoot agreed with Knuckle's words; if he were a Unicorn too, he would perform inexplicable actions.

And they must have realized the worst thing about Sora's point of view. All three frowned.

"... Whether it's a Unicorn, a new species, or a mutant, we can't just leave it alone."

Medea carved deep wrinkles between their brows and muttered to herself. Because she saw it with those eyes, her determination was firm.

It is said that they deliberately took the corpse, and the corpse did not retain the original human form, and only a small part of the viscera that could only be described as fragments was found.

The horse has learned the taste of human flesh.

It is said that Unicorns are herbivores because they look like horses, but there are also carnivores that only eat grass, so even if Unicorns are herbivores, they prefer meat, and their ecology has not yet been elucidated.

If it is a mutated species with characteristics similar to a Unicorn, it is possible that not only its appearance has changed, but the structure of its internal organs has also changed, so even if the original species was herbivorous, a white horse is not necessarily herbivorous.

Being a carnivore is not a crime. Some worry that the ecosystem will collapse, but hunting and eating forest animals is the normal diet of the weak and the fit, so there is nothing here worth everyone pondering.

However, wild animals find human flesh and blood incomparably delicious, and beasts that have tasted humans usually come to human settlements to attack humans unless they are extremely hungry.

This is why beasts that hunt and attack humans, especially those that have learned the taste of humans, should be slaughtered regardless of how rare the species is.

Especially in the past month, not only the media, but also Knuckle and Shoot who requested cooperation, thanks to Sora, before the worst happened, not only children but also poachers were caught, so I learned the taste of humans. A dead beast can fill its belly with other beasts, but desire may be the limit of patience.

It would be fine if they appeared to strike us with this desire, but if they appeared in the village while we were exploring the forest, that would be the worst.

However, since it is a media suitable for extensive exploration, it is Knuckle who is professional and familiar with the behavioral patterns of wild animals, Shoot who has the ability to capture, and a member named Sora. When it is really a Unicorn, he has already learned the taste of humans, he went to the woods to see, and the white horse was no longer guarded, in case the white horse descended to the village.

"Finally, the story and what you can do now will both return to the first 'find a horse that looks like a Unicorn'."

Hearing Medea's words, Sora sighed deeply and dropped his shoulders.

Although it has been confirmed that Sora's awkward play will last for a long time, even a woman who gave up resigning painfully because she couldn't find a shortcut seems desperate. Pressing, "I mean, just make sure you're not a Unicorn..."

Medea could only respond to that faint voice with a wry smile. If Shoot couldn't say something witty, he would try to pretend he didn't hear it and avoid eye contact, but Knuckle, he was fine, but sad enough to miss all sorts of things, almost a reflection. I said my thoughts.

"I mean, I didn't even recognize you as a woman at first... ah"

"Correct!!"

"Eh!?"

Sure enough, Knuckle realized that his remarks were absurd to the point of being rude, and Medea was also boiling, as angry as he was a few days ago when he learned that he hadn't said anything to Sora, he didn't even show any sympathy, just a look of surprise, but for some reason, before Medea went crazy, Sora strongly agreed with Medea, confusing the three of them.

This woman said with a straight face that she was beautiful, "I have known her since she was born," but she also knew that she was not the cute type, so she didn't care about Knuckle's words at all, which is the real reason. Since that's the case, I thought I might not be able to act as bait, changing from the timidity just now, and said nervously: "Looks like a woman, so the Unicorn won't come out. Isn't that right?"

However, Knuckle certainly could not imagine or understand the trauma caused by his values as a Magician, and the twisted self-consciousness and complexity brought to him by such an overly peculiar appearance. Explain why I don't have to, or rather, I shouldn't.

"Hmm? Hmm? No, it's a bit strange to say, but you don't look like a woman, but you don't look like a man either."

I mean, look, you're beautiful, but you're too beautiful to know your gender! So even if you know whether a Unicorn is a virgin or not, you might not know the gender itself.

The panicked tone made Knuckle even more panicked, and I added my true thoughts as a sincere excuse, but that addition made Sora angry. Releasing Gandr.

For Sora's overly peculiar complex, the landmine was not "invisible as a woman" but "virgin," so Knuckle's excuse was a complete grave and a jungle snake.

And it seems that Sora is not the only bush that Knuckle poked a snake out of.

"Hmm? Knuckle, what are you talking about?"

Medea's anger and surprise were mixed with a nuance of contempt, Sora inadvertently tried to shoot at Knuckle's Gandr, and the shot that choked Sora to a stop made the pain of Gandr hit his face. Staring.

Medea didn't care about those three pairs of eyes either, pointing at Sora, and started talking to Knuckle enthusiastically.

"Do you have bumps in your eyes? This girl must be a bisexual and asexual beauty. With her current appearance and hairstyle, you can only tell her gender from the ribbon, but if you let her hair down, she is definitely a girl. I see, you are a talented person who wears cute clothes!!"

"Where are you angry, what are you talking about!?"

Not to mention the two, Sora who was being tracked also rushed in inadvertently.

However, once lifted by such a thrust, Medea's heat did not drop. Quite the contrary. Putting aside Knuckle and Shoot, Sora's thrust added fuel to the fire.

"What are you talking about!

You are so talented that even models run barefoot! Not only cool, but also cute! I don't regret being told that I can't look like a woman, even if I look good in cute clothes!?"

"Hmm? Yes, not at all."

"That's right! It's annoying, isn't it!! Don't worry! Later I will tear off the eye scales stuck in these knot holes and throw them away!!"

"Listen to me!!"

Medea's bold words were aimed at me, and although I was confused, I firmly denied it, but something went wrong.

The three were completely unaware. Before I first ventured into requesting cooperation, I had to give up work halfway, in a state where even "I'm a little tired, so I want to take a break and go home."

It varies from person to person a year after marriage, but it can be said that they are still newlyweds, on their honeymoon.

At such a happiest time, Medea was quite painful because of a series of troubles that were originally scheduled for up to a week, leaving her beloved husband for nearly a month.

I kept in touch with her by phone every day, but my Medea husband basically only said what he should say, and ended it in a few words.

I know my husband is such a person, and I love him very much, so Medea was not dissatisfied with my husband's reaction itself.

However, Medea did not unreasonably complain about Sora, Knuckle, and Shoot.

That is why, in her spare time, she used her "hobbies" to relieve stress little by little, but of course there was no way to release all the stress, and the accumulated stress exploded with one sentence from Knuckle. How could the three of them not understand, she completely forgot her consideration and decency, and was just confused by Medea's high tension.

"Yeah! If it's hard to tell if a Unicorn is a virgin, and it's hard to tell if it's a girl, then wear clothes that you can tell are a girl at a glance!!

Sora! Let's go!!"

"Where!? Don't talk about virgins!!

It might be logical within Medea, but in the eyes of others, everything said is too incoherent, pulling Sora's hand, trying to run to the back of the empty house where Sora lives. Things.

"Hey, Medea. Calm down, because I was completely wrong."

"Really, take a deep breath and calm down.

It is not clear what Medea wants to express, but everyone knows in their hearts what to make Sora do, Sora stood on the spot, cast his gaze at Knuckle, earnestly seeking help, and then the two appeased Medea.

But it was too weak to stop the out-of-control Medea.

"Why!? A girl's greatest happiness, right, and the responsibility is to be cute! Don't polish this girl who can be said to be a rough gem!?"

"No! Going against the way of people, let alone women!!"

"It doesn't matter if you are not cute or disrespectful, so please forgive me!

I like cute girls in cute clothes, but I don't have the hobby of wearing cute clothes. However, Sora was already crying half to death when he fought back.

However, although it is chanting, it is not a warrior, but a woman in logistics support. Perhaps because of being there, he hesitated to pull it down hard, and Sora concentrated his Qi on his legs, not moving from where he was.

This hesitation became his enemy.

Speaking of the beginning, it was from the beginning, but if Sora hesitated to force elimination, even if he was unwilling to accept Medea, his remarks had turned into full-scale sexual harassment, different from using a Unicorn as bait. Knuckle and Shoot, thinking they had no choice but to try to pull Medea away from Sora, reached out.

However, before the hand touched Medea, Medea, who was too tense, stated her position.

"I know! Or rather, Sora! Do you know what you are saying?

You don't have to be cute!? That's wrong!! You don't want anyone to call you 'cute'!?"

Medea retorted, insisting they did so, even though they absolutely did not.

Sora did not answer this question.

Without an answer, she blushed for a moment and looked away from Medea.

Responding to Sora's reaction, Knuckles and Shoot widened their eyes unconsciously, staring at Sora with blank expressions, while Hatsu released Gander.

Avoiding Gander, keeping the two away from Medea, was Sora's biggest self-inflicted mistake.

"! Yes! Yes, there is someone you want to tell!

Don't worry! Unless your aesthetic sense or hobbies are very special, you will absolutely be called 'cute'! No, sorry, I just 'cuted' you! I will make it very easy for you to say, 'Don't be silly, you're so cute!'"

"Eh? Eh? Hey!?"

"Wait! I mean, what is this situation? Tell me what I did!!"

Accompanying Sora's reaction, the tension that had been rising on Medea also intensified; a glint flashed in their eyes as they forcibly grabbed Sora's arm and pulled her to the back of the room.

Unknowingly, Sora's ability had been activated; Sora's arm was being pulled from the front by Medea, and Dragon Tooth soldiers were pushing his back from behind.

Left in the room corresponding to the living room, Knuckles and Shoot could only watch with blank expressions.

While listening to Sora's cries from the back of the room, "I'm sorry!"

"... For the time being, regardless of what she looks like, should I call her 'cute'?"

"... Hmm, is this a gentleman's response?"

They knew they were not the ones Sora wanted to be called "cute" by.

However, the two of them were tired of troublesome things happening again, not just social commentary or the guilt of being treated as sacrifices because they couldn't stop Medea from losing control. I sighed and waited.

When asked, "Does no one want to be called 'cute'?"

I don't understand the meaning of Medea's fanatical "genius," and although I admit Sora is a beauty, I think she is so far from the word "cute" that I am convinced.

So, if you really don't like it, I'm sorry, but for some reason, it's much better than Medea, but then again, for two people accumulating stress, it's like "When will this job end?" It was really fun to change my mood.

Although I think it's terrible, I don't really feel guilty toward Knuckles and Shoot.

Because if Sora really hated it, he knew that even with the power of an Enhancer like Medea, it would be impossible to forcibly pull her in.

However, unfortunately, I cannot say that Knuckles and Shoot are "cute" or "appropriate."

"Wait! Come on, boys! Worship with your eyes! And then die!!

Sora wearing formal attire has an instant-death effect on specific boys who are only allowed to equip this cute girl, especially a man who has little experience with women!!"

"Don't kill me! I mean, the point of these clothes isn't to die because you're too cute, but because you don't understand the structure of the clothes and can't take them off, so you'll die!!"

"Gahhh!!"

"Hey, are you serious!! Really dead!?"

Medea came out with a lecherous look, as if saying, "I did a good job!!" and blew on the spot until they were about to vomit.

I don't know if Knuckles and Shoot were like that, but even if they weren't, it had a destructive power that made me realize Medea's words were more correct than expected.

A corset-style high-waisted skirt that highlights Sora's slender waist, an elegant shirt with rich ruffles, and a ribbon tie at the neck.

Matching this, Sora's white hair was flipped up halfway from a ponytail, with most of the hair pulled down.

Although it is said that this alone was more than enough, he was rushed up at the gap, but he was embarrassed by his appearance, and his teary, flushed eyes had already captured the man's heart in various ways, about to kill him.

Sora, dressed to kill the DT, is simply a speed-kill weapon for the DT.

The outfit for Sora at the end of the story should be the casual clothes of blue Saber-san, also known as Altria-san.

At first, I intended to use the same hairstyle as Saber, but in my impression, that hairstyle didn't suit Sora, so I gave it up and turned it into a half-up, which made it hard for me to understand.

As you might imagine at the end of this episode, next time Sora will uselessly play the role of a Katayuki.

Since it's a big deal, I tried to make her look like Sora's character; I would never do this, but I really wanted to.
