BXBX NOVEL Chapter 269 - Ervas Accepts His Fluffiness
??
"Ah… right, we got to level 100 in our Ranks, huh?" asked Ervas.
"You\'re right. But right here? Maybe not. We\'ll make sure to do it at our rooms," said Veronica.
"Hm, for safety measures, it would be preferable to do it in our rooms, at night… I don\'t like to be seen by others when I evolve… Especially because something weird might surge, like… well, the puppy ears and tail," said Ervas, talking about the body parts he had hidden by transforming them into Phantom and then putting them inside his body.
"Ooh! But Ervas-sama, your animal form is of utmost cuteness!" said Lilith.
"Ah, puppy Ervas is cute, cute!" said Gaia.
"Puppy Ervas?! Where?!" asked Amelia.
"We want puppy Ervas!" said Acathea.
"Ervas, show it to us!" said Pekorina.
"Boy, you\'re like us now, a beast-person! Do not be embarrassed by showing your animal traits, it is what makes us special and beautiful. We must be a proud race, do not be afraid," said Desephise.
"That\'s right, there is truth in the harpy\'s words, Ervas. Show us your traits, do not be afraid, we do not discriminate here. We are all beast-kin… well, mostly," said Ismene, glancing at Alesia and Leonidas, and well, all of the monsters and Undead around.
"Isn\'t it incredible? Ervas is both a human, a demon, and now a beast-kin, right? Has there been anyone like this before? Someone who unifies three races within himself…" said Anna.
"It is amazing, please, Ervas, show us your fluffiness- I mean, your beast-kin traits," said Alesia with a warm smile.
Ervas was blushing a bit… but the thing is, his reason to hide such traits was not simply an embarrassment.
"I-I don\'t want to… I know that you will be constantly petting it, this is why I hide them… It is not exactly that I am not proud of who I am, it is simply the circumstances that might happen and the consequences of revealing those traits openly…" said Ervas.
"W-We will make sure to not pet you!" said Ismene.
"Y-Yeah, peko…" said Pekorina.
"F-For sure…!" said Acathea.
"Yeah, we just want to see!" said Amelia.
"I-Indeed… This does not encompass petting you at all… Don\'t be so selfish, it is not always about you!" said Anna.
"Is that so…?" asked Ervas, perhaps he got everyone wrong there… or not?
"Yeah!" said Veronica, averting her gaze.
"Yeah, Ervas, do not be afraid of showing those traits, you have inherited them from your bloodline, the one that your mother inherited. It is a precious gift that you must be proud of," said Jason.
"Well… If that is… the case… Honestly, it annoys me a bit to have them like this, it itches a bit," said Ervas, finally releasing his gray wolf ears and fluffy tail to the world.
Everyone glanced at him in surprise, he was way too adorable. He was already cute by himself, but when he took out his beast-kin traits, he became a bag of cuteness.
"Ooh! So cu- I mean, how nice, they are amazing ears and tail, a striking trait of the fierce and brave gray wolf beast-kin!" said Veronica.
"Really?" asked Ervas.
"Indeed! You look amazing with them! V-Very adora- brave and fierce…" said Anna.
"T-That\'s right! Ervas, your traits are what makes you one of us as well… so always show them with… pride! …Peko," said Pekorina.
"I-Indeed… You look very… handsome!" said Acathea.
"Hm, very manly… Yeah!" said Amelia.
"See, boy? Everyone didn\'t want to pet you or anything, it is simply a trait that is beautiful and makes you feel more like one of us… Y-Yeah, that," said Ismene.
"I see… I guess I always had you all misunderstood. I am thankful that you didn\'t want to see me like this for underhanded motives…" said Ervas with a mild slime, as his wolf ears twitched around cutely, and he began to wave his fluffy gray tail around.
"S-See, Ervas? It is a beautiful trait from your long and amazing lineage, make sure to be proud of it!" said Jason.
"Yeeaahh…! You\'re amazing!" said Veronica.
After seeing how everyone did not want to attack him and pet him because he was cute or something, Ervas felt relaxed, feeling accepted for what he was and not for how cute he was.
"I\'m glad. Now that I have become a boy, and have been one for over two years, I have really wanted to be more like one. And that includes being manly and all of that… Like, dad, I want to have strong muscles and be very manly, so I do not want to be cute…
am glad that you didn\'t want me for that alone," said Ervas.
"Ah, it makes me so proud that you want to be like your dad, Ervas! I will make sure to teach you all of my muscle exercising techniques and all of that! …Whenever you begin developing muscles," said Jason.
"Thanks, father," said Ervas with a mild slime… He was so cute that most of the women present were almost about to explode internally. Many of them were containing themselves, trembling and glancing at Ervas intensively, as if he were a precious toy or a delicious meal… Although Ervas, who possessed a stronger presence did not felt their presence menacing.
The men such as Goliath, Leonidas, Gaius, Ragdaz, Azra, Sevapheso, and many others noticed how every girl was containing their urge to pet Ervas and shower him with cuddles. It seems that many of them wanted to put their faces on his fluffy tail.
"Anyways, talking about your current race, boy. It seems that you can use the Beast Transformation Skill! Isn\'t it?" asked Ragdaz.
"That is right, it grants me an enhancement in my capabilities but covers me in even more fur. My nails grow long like claws," said Ervas, using Beast Transformation and showing everyone how he became even fluffier, with hair growing on his feet, arms, and legs. His muscles only bulged truly little, but his nails grew like claws, his eyes became more feral, and his ears and tail grew longer, alongside his canines which developed even larger.
Most of the girls, when they saw this, almost dropped off their seats as they tried to contain themselves, some drank beer like anna, others distracted themselves eating, others averted their gazes, and some felt strangely dizzy as if putting so much energy into hiding their feelings exhausted them.
However, the males were pretty amazed, especially that beast-kin.
"Oooooh! Amazing! So that\'s how the Legendary Beast Transformation Skill is! Now I want it even more badly! Damn it!" said Ragdaz.
"It looks incredible," said Gaius.
"Amazing, I can feel your strength surging," said Azra.
"Yeah, that\'s pretty awesome, I wish we could have something similar for us the Ghouls," said Leonidas.
"Aren\'t you already pretty strong with your ability to wield magic without having to learn it?" asked Ragdaz.
"Well, details!" said Leonidas.
"I wonder how the Beast Transformation version for us Harpies would be… Well, I am a ghost now, so I don\'t know if I ever get anything like that Skill," said Sevapheso.
"I do also wonder what are the required things that we need to achieve to get the Skill…" said Desephise, one of the few women not affected (as much) by Ervas adorableness.
"Why do you talk as if it were rare? Are you guys not holding the Skill? I honestly thought that it was a staple on any strong beast-kin warrior," said Jason.
"Oh, that\'s because Beast Transformation is seen as a mythical Skill, only those who had become incredibly strong are capable of wielding it… Many had tried but only a few had achieved to get such Skill. Within our tales, there was one Hero who fought in the war of old between the beast-kin tribes, he could become a giant black bear, strong enough to shake the whole mountain," said Ragdaz.
"In our Tribe, there is also a Hero like this, a Harpy Hero with the ability to become a giant bird that soared the skies and protected his kin, I wonder if his soul is intact…" wondered Desephise with a bit of melancholy on her eyes.
"In our Tribe, there is also something similar, a chieftain who could become a giant squirrel!" said Amelia.
"Oh, and in ours as well! Someone, a Heroine of old, could become a rabbit!" said Pekorina.
"So all Beast-kin tribes once had some kind of warrior who achieved this Skill and marked history, I suppose… I wonder if some of them are the Gods we had met, or hose is different?" wondered Ervas.
"It\'s all a mystery… And about the souls, we have not identified them all, and it will take a while as well. But for now, let us pray for the souls of such Heroes to have remained without breaking completely into insanity," said Veronica.
"We can only hope, I guess…" said Desephise.
"Don\'t worry, Desephise, I am sure that they will be there, we\'ll meet one day," said Ragdaz, patting Desephise\'s muscular shoulder.
"D-Don\'t get too close with me, Ragdaz!" said Desephise with a blush.
"Hah~ It seems that those two are still into it?" asked Veronica.
"I wonder if it could be possible for a bear and harpy hybrid to be born…" said Ervas.
"Y-You what?!" asked Desephise.
"N-Nothing…" muttered Ervas, averting his gaze from the flustered and embarrassed Desephise.
"It is better to keep certain thoughts inside of your head, Ervas! Hahaha!" laughed Veronica wholeheartedly.
"Y-Yeah… (Come to think about it, the children within the Lilith\' sisters and other females within the Kingdom might be soon to be born… This also counts Pekorina\'s sister… I think we can come out with an interesting excuse… Perhaps)" thought Ervas.
