Chapter 692: The Conditions for Becoming a Gumiho
Chapter 692: The Conditions for Becoming a Gumiho
Well, for that reason, I ended up spending last night not caring one bit about my intended goal of figuring out the Gumiho's traits and just tumbled around with my now-lewd Leia-noona to my heart's content.
But hey, it’s not like I gained nothing. It’s just a matter of thinking about it in my spare time, right?
First, the conditions for Leia to turn into a Gumiho.
I can’t be completely certain yet, but through last night’s session, I got the strong feeling that the condition for Leia to transform into a Gumiho was almost certainly ‘when Leia’s lust overcomes her reason.’
However, if that’s the case, it creates one huge problem…
How the hell am I supposed to use that?
Leia can only transform into a Gumiho when she’s lost her mind to lust?
It’s not like she’s some berserker who goes crazy, can’t tell friend from foe, and just slaughters everything in sight.
No. A berserker would actually be more useful.
You might as well just hammer in the nail and say it’s completely unusable during dungeon exploration.
Not only do I have no way of driving Leia mad with lust in the middle of a dungeon, but even if I could, I would never do it.
Am I crazy? Why would I ever show that side of my Leia to other people or monsters?
That version of Leia is mine and mine alone!
But that would mean Leia will continue to have no way to protect herself… Dammit. What if my prediction is just wrong, and there’s actually some other condition attached?
This is a world that uses a game system, after all.
An ability like that wouldn’t appear in a normal game, or even in most adult games. If it did, it would be in something from the battle-fuck genre, at best.
At the very least, this world doesn't have that kind of setting, does it?
No. Not that I’m one to talk, being wrapped head to toe in abilities that seem like they came straight out of that genre.
Still, there has to be some other condition… Right. Even the Goddess praised me for getting a Gumiho as a companion before.
Doesn’t that mean the Gumiho ability should be helpful to our party in some way?
With the transformation condition I’ve come up with, it’s absolutely useless. So there must be some other condition.
I absolutely refuse to see Leia lose her mind to lust in any situation other than when she’s alone with me.
But for the sake of Leia’s ability to protect herself, I want her to be able to use the Gumiho’s power.
Caught in that contradiction, I racked my brain furiously.
But no matter how hard I thought, I couldn’t come up with any other transformation condition from last night’s activities besides the one I’d already considered.
“Nngh… Ahh… I… When did I get in bed…?”
And in the midst of my thoughts, Leia, who had been lying on top of me, woke up.
For the record, it was me who brought her to the bed, of course.
To make the bracelet work, we had been tangled together by the door until Leia lost consciousness, but we couldn’t stay like that forever.
After she passed out, I carried her body back to the bed and lay down with her.
Because of that, I had naturally returned to my original form.
Anyway, Leia, who still hadn’t fully opened her eyes, pushed herself up groggily. In a cute gesture that didn’t quite match her mature, big-sisterly appearance, she rubbed her eyes with her balled fists.
“I’m sorry… Guwon-ssi, you were just so good that Noona… I think I lost my mind for a biiiiiit…!”
Hmm. That’s a rather difficult statement to know where to even begin dissecting.
It seems Leia is still in noona mode.
I can understand that. She lost consciousness in that state last night, so it’s perfectly understandable that those would be her first words upon waking. Besides, from the way she’s talking, it seems she thinks she just blacked out for a moment from the sheer pleasure of her climax.
In reality, she slept quite soundly.
Anyway, Leia, still in noona mode, slowly opened her eyes. The moment she confirmed it was my face, her voice shot up to a super high pitch as she froze on the spot.
Something feels… subtly off. What is it?
As she remained frozen, Leia’s face began to turn a deeper and deeper shade of red.
And at the same time, the violet glow in her eyes began to fade.
Huh? Wait a minute. A glow?
Come to think of it, I feel a much fluffier sensation on my thighs than usual.
Does that mean…
“G-G-G-Gu-Guwon-ssi!”
“Y-Yeah?”
“N-No, that’s not it! Last night, I mean, I-I’m not that kind of woman!”
“That’s it!”
“Kyaaah!”
The moment Leia’s words trailed off, I felt like the final piece of the puzzle had just clicked into place.
Yes! That was it!
Of course! It had to be!
An ability that only activates when you lose your reason to lust!
There’s no way an ability with such an unusable condition would exist!
“Leia!”
“Y-Ye-Yes!”
Excited to have finally figured out the Gumiho’s activation condition, I grabbed Leia’s shoulders with both hands and looked her straight in the eyes.
Just a moment ago, Leia had been blushing with embarrassment as she remembered the events of last night, but perhaps overwhelmed by my intensity, she forgot her shyness and answered me obediently.
“Repeat after me!”
“Y-Yes?”
At my incomprehensible command, Leia tilted her head in a daze.
So cute. But right now, more importantly…
“I love sex!”
“……Hic.”
The moment I shouted the words, Leia’s face began to flush bright red again.
Tears even started to well up in her eyes as her body began to tremble.
Uh, huh?
“…No. Wait a second. Leia. I think you’re misunderstanding something. That’s not what I meant.”
“I-I’m…”
“Listen, Leia. I’m not saying I think you’re some lewd woman. How long have we known each other? Why would I say something like that now? And about yesterday, I know you became like that not because you like little kids, but because you liked the younger version of me. We went to the orphanage together, remember? I wouldn’t misunderstand something like that at this point.”
“B-But still, yesterday I…”
As I hurriedly defended her before she could get the wrong idea, the trembling in Leia’s body finally began to subside a little.
Though it was clear she was still dying of embarrassment.
“I told you before, right? I don’t have any problem with your preferences being a little unusual. So what if you like me in a younger form? I also really like being led on by a sexy Leia-noo…”
“Hauuut…!”
Damn it! I was trying to cover for her, but I ended up dealing more damage.
“N-No. Anyway, what I’m saying is there’s no problem at all. In fact, even if Leia became a lewd woman who loves sex, I would…”
“Uuuuuh…!”
“No. That’s not it! The Gumiho! I’m talking about the Gumiho state!”
Trying to cover for her any more would just hurt Leia further.
Realizing this, I hastily decided to change the subject.
“The G-Gumiho…?”
“Right. I think I’ve completely figured out the condition for entering the Gumiho state.”
No matter how embarrassed Leia was, there was no way she wouldn’t be interested in talk of the Gumiho.
The desire to completely control her Gumiho state was something Leia herself wanted more than anyone.
Anyway, having captured her attention, I slowly explained my thoughts to her.
Originally, I thought the condition was for her to be blinded by lust.
But just now, seeing that she was in her Gumiho state right up until the moment she fully regained her senses, another hypothesis came to mind.
Because the timing of her Gumiho state deactivating was the exact same as the timing of her face turning red.
It was true that the still-drowsy Leia was in noona mode, a continuation from last night.
But that said, I didn’t get the feeling at all that she was lost in lust.
If she had been, she would have tried to continue having sex even after seeing my face.
In other words, the condition for the Gumiho state isn’t being blinded by sex.
So, what changed inside Leia the moment her face turned red?
It was simple. It was her attitude towards sex.
It’s embarrassing to express my sexual desire so openly.
That was the feeling Leia had about sex.
To be honest, it’s not easy to have such feelings about sex in this world.
The foundation of this world is sex. It’s no exaggeration to say that everything begins with sex and returns to sex.
From a common-sense perspective, the typical attitude towards sex would be like Felicia’s… no. Even for this world, she’s a bit too much.
Right. Alicia, who immediately took me for a ‘test’ the first time we met.
Her perception of sex is probably about the normal standard for the people of this world.
Furthermore, Leia is a priestess who serves a goddess that encourages sexual activity.
Normally, she would have no need to feel that way about sex.
That is, if the person Leia liked wasn’t me.
I’m not trying to brag, but… well, maybe I am.
Anyway, all of my women are good women who are incredibly quick on the uptake.
What I mean by that is, through their conversations with me, they’ve all likely picked up on my own perception of sex.
My views on sex are inevitably a little different from the people here.
And everyone, whether consciously or unconsciously, changes for the person they like.
Just like how I, who first came to this world with eyes blazing, judging every passing woman’s face and just looking for a chance to have sex, have now changed into someone who only has eyes for my women.
In short, to match my views on sex, my girls have also, consciously or unconsciously, become far more modest than the standard for people in this world.
I had actually noticed for a while that my girls were quite modest, to a degree that didn’t fit this world’s common sense.
But I never imagined it would be connected to Leia’s Gumiho ability.
To summarize, it goes like this.
Originally, after receiving my Apostle’s Seal, she should have been able to use her Gumiho ability from the moment she stopped losing her reason and becoming a completely different person in her Gumiho state.
But Leia’s mindset has become too modest, preventing her from using the Gumiho ability.
This hypothesis also fit perfectly when I considered the nature of the Gumiho’s power.
The Gumiho’s ability, like the Saint’s, is related to sex. No, to be precise, it’s more similar to a succubus like Felicia than a Saint.
In any case, being that kind of ability, it makes sense that a woman who is modest and shy about sex wouldn’t be able to use it.
Unlike me, who can just use my abilities like game skills, it seems the Gumiho has to actually transform to use its powers.
Well, this could all just be my delusion, and she might be unable to become a Gumiho for a completely different reason.
But I can’t think of any other conditions, and this one seems much easier to clear than my initial idea.
So for now, let’s proceed with verifying this hypothesis, assuming it’s correct.
“So that’s why I said what I said earlier.”
“S-So that’s what it was…”
Leia didn’t refute my claim that she had become more modest because of me. Hearing my explanation, she just blushed softly.
“Yeah. So let’s just try saying it once. ‘I love sex.’”
“I-I understand the reasoning, but why do I have to say that…”
“They say everything starts with words, right? Who knows? Maybe just saying it will be enough to let you transform. Just close your eyes and say it once.”
“I feel like I’m being tricked…” Leia said, shooting me a sidelong glance with an embarrassed expression as I continued to insist.
Well, it would be a lie to say I didn’t want to see an embarrassed Leia admit she really loves sex.
“Of course not! Leia, have you ever seen me trick you?”
But I said it proudly, without a shred of shame.
This is for Leia’s sake, and that fact remains unchanged!
“…Last night. I mustered up my courage and told you that you could do whatever you wanted with my body, but in the end, you put on the bracelet to solve the Gumiho problem.”
But to my surprise, Leia threw an unexpected counter-punch.
Dammit. I can’t believe she’s bringing this up now.
“…No. Leia-noona.”
“And you were thinking that if you put on the bracelet, I would become like that, even before you put it on.”
“Noonaaa…”
“E-Even if you make that face…”
“Please?”
“Ugh… That’s cheating…”
In the end, defeated by my sparkling-eyed attack, Leia turned her back to me and started smacking my stomach with her tail.
But even as she reacted that way, my angel can’t refuse my requests.
Especially since she herself knows full well that this request is for her own good.
“…I… really like sex.”
With her back still turned to me, Leia muttered so softly I wouldn’t have heard it if I wasn’t concentrating.
And in that instant, Leia’s single tail momentarily multiplied into nine.
