A World of Monster Girls

Chapter Fifteen

I feel odd. After doing the weird poses and "exercises" Alura taught me in the bathtub, I feels strange.

How do I say this, I feel... more powerful? It seemed so ridiculous since I'd only 'trained' for what, 2 hours? But even then, I could feel a difference.

Those poses might be bizarre, but damn, they are useful.

"...Freak." I heard Alura mutter while she looked at me with uncertain eyes- no, rather, they were filled with disbelief.

Eh? What? Why are you calling me a freak?

I shot her a confused glance, which she answered by lightly coughing.

"I get that you have latent potential, but still, isn't this fraudulent?"

"What the hell are you on about? Did I really change that much?"

She didn't answer, rather, she kept observing me, her eyes scanning every detail of my body. And yes, that includes my lower part.

Slowly, she walked up to me and stood half a meter away from me.

"I'm going to slap you."

...You'll what?

"I'm... sorry? Could you repeat that?"

"I am going to slap you."

"Why, exactly?"

"I want to test your strength. Now, hold still."

Woah woah woah, wait a god damn minut-

*SLAP!*

Huh. That didn't hurt as much as I thought it will. Alura looked at me once more, examining my face, then at her hand, and then back to my face.

"...What an actual freak. Are you sure you are not a demon?"

Damn straight I'm sure I'm not a demon! What the hell is up with you? Did I really change that much to the point you think I'm a demon?! All you did was slap me!

"Hmm... No, Male Demons no longer exist, and furthermore, they aren't able to give off energy like this... Hm..."

She kept her hand to her chin and continued examining me. I know that I've changed a bit, but seriously, isn't this a bit too exaggerated?

While Alura was still contemplating what was going on with me, Eve simply came and licked my hand. In response, I pat her head. Man, why can't she just be like you? Look at how adorable you are.

I kept playing with Eve while Alura was still doing whatever, I also tried to rub her belly, although they were only breasts. Surprisingly, touching them didn't have the same effect as when we first met. I do feel a bit strange, but I can continue touching them without my mind being clouded. Eve really likes it, too.

"Ugh, it doesn't matter." Alura suddenly said in an annoyed tone, "Listen, now that your physical strength and speed have increased, It's time to finally use your mana as a weapon."

Finally, that's what I've been waiting for. I can't always rely on my gun, so having an alternative option is always good.

"First things first, don't expect to suddenly gain the ability in one day. This process usually takes a while, some demons even take as long as a year! However, due to your high potential, it shouldn't take more than 2 weeks."

TWO WEEKS?!

Are you kidding me right now? What if that boss suddenly finds us in these two weeks?! I don't have that much time!

"Look, I understand you're worried, but, I'll try my best to lower the time to a week. But I need you to try your hardest, I can't do everything here."

...Fine. I don't have much of a choice, really. I don't think I can beat that Snake Lady with just my gun, and, frankly, I'm better in Close Quarter Combat. Of course, I don't really want to get close to the boss that can just kill me with a single hit. However, in the worst-case scenario where I lose my gun, run out of ammo, or have no other option, at least I'll have a way to defend myself.
