Monster Musume chapter 99: Transformation

“We've never tried this yet...and I don't like it too, but I can't help it." Tsuchio
“Even if you say to earn time, how much do you need?" Rin

『As long as possible, I have to say that. Because, its our first time.』Tsuchino

“My machine gun has been destroyed, so let me go to the vanguard next. Rin, I will leave the rear to you." Nichrome
“Why aren't we all the vanguard?" Rin
“It's not spacious enough for three people to attack at the same time... but let's correspond flexibly. Father, please concentrate on yourself. I will go!" Lime

 

Tsuchino and I went down the stairs, while the others thrust at Ruu. All right, let's finish it quickly.

 

“Is there anything I can do?" Tsuchio
『Not particularly, you just stay strong, relax and ease your body. I'm not going to take advantage of you.』Tsuchino

“Understood.” Tsuchio

 

Nichrome equipped herself with gauntlets and started a fist fight with Ruu. Rotating the large gear at an alternate direction, it released sparks. That kind of gauntlets has what an effect.  

 

The Nichrome´s fighting technique is one that emphasizes the power of a blow. Somewhat bad to do against an opponent like Ruu who has two powerful arms. Even now, has she managed to defend and continues to hold on. I'm fine with that because the purpose is to earn time.

 

“Let's start. How long can we do this?” Tsuchio

『There is no time limit, but too much use will destroy you. If I were to use it, five minutes would be the borderline.』Tsuchino

“Short...besides, there is a limit to the magic that can be used at once." Tsuchio

『That's right.... You know Tsuchio, I'm actually overwatching it.』Tsuchino

 

Ah, thats a torture. I'm finally on my own, but I don't like it.

 

“It will be a quick match.... But if I use excessive magic, which I can use a little bit, I'm going to break.” Tsuchio

『That's right...you can use the magic that I have, so I don't think it's a problem if you don't use it at once. Still, that state will continue to be affected by me, so five minutes is the limit.』Tsuchino

“Can I use talisman art and black magic?” Tsuchio

『Yes, you can use my magic. However, there aren't many spells you can use.』Tsuchino

“Even if there are many at hand, it won't be a problem because I can’t use them all. Hey Tsuchino, get ready! Ruu is trying to release her breath!" Tsuchio

『Really, at this timing!?』Tsuchino

 

Ruu puts her hands together and sets them on her waist. Next, her magical power rises so that it is visible, whirling around Ruu. Nichrome is retreating, while Lime and Rin aim for Ruu who stood on the spot. However, the fire that springs from Ruu´s body attacks those who approach. Rin summoned her barrier and dashed at Ruu to stop her releasing her breath. Ruu avoided her and went for the killing punch. Rin leaps beside the wall. Shit, will they be killed by Ruu here!?

 

“Lime, come back! Master, do it now!” Nichrome

 

Nichrome who came down the stairs shouts. Aligning both arms, she lifts up a large tubular item with metal parts exposed. Is that...a gun? No, that is the weapon we made at a rapid pitch.

 

『A little more! Tsuchio, we'll fight as soon as we transform! Get ready!』Tsuchino

“I understand. Nichrome, we're going now!” Tsuchio

“Don't come until all the work is done. At worst, I will keep going until all my weapons are used up." Nichrome

 

Ruu's hands shine red for a moment and heat rays glow, while almost at the same time Nichrome's muzzle shines gently and white magical power gets emitted. Two rays that collide directly in front of me. It creates a strong wind. The walls that were hurt by the battle so far are blown away by the aftermath of magical power. Both are struggling to stand on the ground, because the floor is about to fall out.

 

Nichrome shows an unusual and painful expression against Ruu who continues to release her breath expressionlessly. Also, her equipped guns are glowing and sparks are scattering. If we don't do it quickly, Nichrome is going to blow up.

 

Suddenly, the momentum of Nichrome's shell falls. When I see it, the gun vibrates finely and her whole body is incandescent, so that it is likely to self-destroy. No, Ruu´s breath will hit directly before that!

 

“...Master.” Nichrome

 

Meanwhile, Nichrome calls me. Among the noisy sparks and magical powers, for some reason her voice has arrived my ears.

 

“I said that feelings are useless before...but it isn't so. If I had no feelings, I couldn't be so gentle and satisfied before death. ...I appreciate it." Nichrome

 

When I think that the sparks from the gun have intensified, a explosion came from the middle and shell was destroyed. Ruu's breath with no obstacles advances towards Nichrome to get her life....

 

『...Let's do it!!!』

 

A black ray hits Ruu´s belly so that she is blown out of the hole created on the wall. Lime retrieved Nichrome by barely avoiding Ruu´s breath.

 

“...Master, you are late. You will be disliked by women." Nichrome

『(Nichrome be at ease, Tsuchio is so fast) Tsuchino! Don't talk to me! Quickly!』Tsuchio/Tsuchino

 

Shadow-san who became Tsuchino made it possible, again. Part 3.

Time goes back to when I was listening to Tsuchino, last night.

 

“... Shadow spirit?" Tsuchio

『Yeah, it's not a doppelganger. You see, Nichrome and I got protection from Spirit-san, right? I think you heard from her, that she originally wanted to make a familiar. Whether you can be a spirit or not depends on appropriateness...and by chance, I just seemed to be appropriate.』Tsuchino

“But a spirit is like the will of nature, isn't it? No matter how much Spirit-san is protecting you, my shadow will become a spirit...isn't it strange?” Tsuchio

『It might be so for a normal person. But, haven't you forgotten? ...You´re from a different world.』Tsuchino

“... Well, that's right." Tsuchio

 

I have completely forgotten about it until now.... I have completely got stuck in this world....

 

『Even people from different world cannot do it and it is useless even if I get a protection. It is only possible to become a spirit together.』Tsuchino

“Seriously...as a spirit, can you wake up a tornado or break the ground like Spirit-san?" Tsuchio

『That's impossible, because I would be a extremely limited spirit. I will be in trouble compared to Spirit-san. Well, I´m getting pretty strong, though.... Besides, I seriously can't become a spirit alone.』Tsuchino

“Hmm, what do you mean?” Tsuchio

『As I said earlier, neither Tsuchio nor I can become a spirit alone. Both of us must be completed. Literally, your body and mind become one with me.』Tsuchino

“So...that means?” Tsuchio

 

Is this a battle of the night? With Tsuchino? I never thought of getting to know someone who looks like me....

 

『It's pretty awkward, but it's not like that. It seems that Tsuchio and I will transform. Tsuchio is hard and I’m soft.』Tsuchino

“Is that okay? No, it seems to be a transformation. Tsuchino 's magical power now is quite a lot, right?" Tsuchio

『It's not okay, you will be influenced by my magical power. Excessive magical power cuts down your life and fights while wearing the body. That's why I stayed as Shadow-san but...as I become like this, I will use Tsuchio even though your lifespan will be shortened.』Tsuchino

“It's not a good thing to use. But I think I'll use it without hesitation if we can't win." Tsuchio

 

Even if we don't use the power of such a spirit, we may win. However, in that case neither of us will transform. The worst would be that we will die.... That absolutely must be avoided. If one of my familiars is badly injured or near death......It may shorten my life span.

 

“Well then, please explain in detail." Tsuchio

『Haa, I guess we have no choice.... Okay. First the time limit. It can be tolerated for 5 minutes, beyond that is dangerous. Also...』Tsuchino

 

I merge with Tsuchino and become a spirit...in case, it will be a prospect to get Ruu back. I wonder if I will defeat Ruu myself or I will get angry. Well, it can't be helped. If the first strike ended in failure and it becomes unlikely to beat Ruu even after that, it is likely to be used.

 

The time goes back to the battle with Ruu.

“That said, Tsuchino and you have become a spirit.... As expected, the magical power is of another magnitude." Nichrome

“Father... is your body all right?” Lime

『I feel a little stretched, but is it still okay? (Better than that, let's do what you thought yesterday! That's why) Tsuchino, do not speak selfishly. Everyone is confused.』Tsuchio/Tsuchino

 

Because Tsuchino is inside me, when Tsuchino talks, her words are issued from my mouth. Because of that, everyone else doesn't know who is talking. It was nice that I didn't change in particular.

 

“What is that?"

『(It is the entry speech, I was thinking for this kind of time.) Don’t do that! I'm not in the mood!』Tsuchio, Tsuchino

 

At all, Tsuchino....!

 

『Come on, Tsuchino! Nichrome stay in this place and snipe, Lime and Rin, you cover me!』Tsuchio

 

I threw some talismans on the floor. Rock snakes grow from the floor and I use their heads to remove the wall in front of my eyes. Indeed, it is a new work made with newly bought paper. I added a new feature, but let's leave that for later.

 

In the meantime, Ruu spread her wings and flew back out of the wall. Since she released her breath, her magical power was reduced by a large extent. Because my magic also hit her belly, it was somewhat effective.

 

『(So Tsuchio, how are you planning to regain Ruu´s consciousness?) ...If Ruu's consciousness awakens, we can solve the controlling magic. Therefore, we will do something intense to hopefully make Ruu wake up.』Tsuchio/Tsuchino

 

At first, although some ideas are floating in my mind...everything can’t be done if I´m not close enough to touch her face. Is it possible to approach that far with Ruu as opponent.... Even though she is weak, the other party is Ruu. If I enter into her bosom, I will be finished in no time.

 

『Would you mind speaking out? It's narrow in here, so let's be stylish and do an air battle!』Tsuchio

 

I emit black magical power from my hand and blow Ruu back into the air again. Following that, Rin and I fly out of the wall. Today, it is a fine day with only one cloud. I had wanted to fly in the future and now I'm walking in the air without having to do anything. I didn't imagine that this day would come so soon. Well, all thanks to Tsuchino.

 

『(Leave the flight to me. Tsuchio, concentrate on magical power control!) Okay, I will manipulate everything.』Tsuchio

 

Ruu, who saw us chasing her, thrusts her fists at us. Rin and I split into two and run away, but Ruu chases me. Well, well, from the amount of magical power, we are a threat now. Of course she is aiming at me!

 

Rock cannonballs come from diagonally below the roof. Several hits are in progress, but Ruu immediately changes her direction. While dodging, she approaches me.

 

『You guys, don’t let it hit you! Avoid it to the end!』Tsuchio

 

The gunners are my rock snakes. The added function has made it possible to fire rock bullets from their mouths. I can't let them fight directly, and it is a bottleneck that they can’t move. Well, let's make it even better as a fixed turret! Under that concept, it was remodeled as such. Materials of the shells to be shot out are all you can do from the ground and floor. It is also attractive not to mind the remaining bullets.

 

Ruu comes closer to me without paying attention to the bullets of my eight snakes. Damn, the opponent is Ruu, so even if she is hit, her power isn't suppressed. It would have been better if she stopped moving, but it was only capable of earning time.

 

『It's my first battle in this state...are you ready? (Of course, I have to decide quickly without time and the rest of the overlay?) Since I used 3 stars earlier, the rest is just 5 stars. It is just barely necessary. For a while, I will use that magic for battle. (It is truly a trump card.) I got it, I gotta go in a range that won't cause serious injury!』Tsuchio/Tsuchino

 

Ruu comes close in a blink of an eye and attacks me with her fist. Just before being hit on my face, I concentrate my consciousness a little and moved diagonally behind Ruu. My existence became dilute and I passed through Ruu and stood behind her. It is a different way to change from shadow to body transformation or to dive in the shadow and to spread. It is similar to Yukurishisu´s teleportation magic.

Ruu´s fist hit empty skies and I attack her back with a black hammer. Ruu is blown away again, while attacks from Rin and the rock snakes passed by. Okay, I didn't read it this time. I don't have much time, so if I cut her stamina, I really will do it!
