Chapter 1885: Ship Party ⑩
After a pleasant chat with Isis-san, I left the area where the Death King camp hung out and headed to the next area. Fortunately, the party had only just started, so it was easy to greet them as each camp was still somewhat gathered.
Now then, just as I was moving my gaze, wondering where to go next my gaze stopped when I saw a certain someone. The person at the end of my gaze was Kong-san, dressed in a tight-fitting suit, and I was unintentionally stunned by the tremendous impact of his appearance.
Thereupon, Kong-sama also seemed to have noticed me, as he called out to me with a hearty smile.
[If it isn't Kaito! Thanks for the invitation today! Well~~ This is quite the amazing ship you got! You really are an amazing guy!]
[Ah, thank you. Hello, Kong-san.]
I had a few opportunities to meet Kong-san, such as at the banquet after fighting Megiddo-san during the Six Kings Festival and at the housewarming party. Initially, my impression of him was just "that guy who got beaten up by Pandora-san", but he's actually a really nice person.
I remember that he was quite simple-minded, someone who didn't have any hidden thoughts, as he directly praised me a lot for fighting Megiddo-san at the banquet back at the Six Kings Festival.
Well, that's fine and all but the problem here is his appearance. Kong-san looks almost like a gorilla. Rather, he would literally be just a huge gorilla if it weren't for his horns, and the sight of that gorilla wearing a tight-fitting suit was kinda amusing.
No, I mean, what he's wearing was clearly not the right size for him. It was too tight-fitting, with the burden on the buttons of his suit being too much, and on the contrary, it was so tight-fitting that it was a wonder how it could endure without popping.
Of course, no matter how funny it may be, laughing at his appearance would be rude and absolutely something I shouldn't do. It's terrible to laugh at someone's appearance, and since Kong-san went out of his way to dress appropriately for the party, I should instead be grateful rather than laugh but well couldn't you at least find a suit that has a better size!? In fact, I'm impressed that he managed to wear that obviously ill-fitting suit.
[You came to see the Boss, right? If you wanna see the Boss, come this way.]
[Ah, yes. Thank you.]
Pinching my thigh for the time being, trying not to laugh, I moved on as Kong-san guided me but the view of his back was also very destructive. His shirt that looks like it's screaming feels really miserable.
A- Anyhow, as I moved a bit, I saw Ozma-san and Bacchus-san, so it seemed like the War King camp was also gathering in this area together. However, since I didn't see Agni-san and Epsilon-san around, it looked like they had gone somewhere else.
Arehh? Those two aside, where's Megiddo-san?
[Boss! Kaito's here.]
[Ohh! Kaito huh, I'm glad you came! Come, stop acting all reserved and come closer!]
[Huh? Eh? M- Megiddo-san?]
When I heard a rather lovely voice, I moved my gaze and found Megiddo-san, with an appearance that I completely didn't expect. Red semi-short hair that's quite wavy and two large horns, those two descriptions are all good but with a physique about the same as Kuro's, wearing a dress with a cute atmosphere, Megiddo-san with the appearance of a girl beckons me close with a happy smile.
I know that it's Megiddo-san from what I sense with Sympathy Magic but what's with that look!? It's not her usual Demon Beast form, humanized muscular man form, nor that glamorous woman appearance that was her original form but a mysterious young girl form.
[Ahh? The heck's with that look of yours?]
[Master, isn't this the first time Miyama-kun has seen Master in that form?]
[Ahhh! I see, so that's how it is!!!]
Megiddo-san tilted her head in wonder, but immediately after she heard what Ozma-san said, she nodded with a look of understanding.
And then, Ozma-san went on to briefly explain Megiddo-san's current state.
[Miyama-kun, Master has about four different humanized forms. They use them according to their mood at the time.]
[Ahh, so that's how it is. I see, until now, I thought that Megiddo-san's humanized form is that muscular man-form of theirs, so I was surprised.]
[Ahh, I certainly take on that form most often. Well, it's not like me taking on this form has any significant difference, so don't worry about it.]
No, they're quite different though!? At least even after hearing that story now, if I were to think that this person with the appearance and voice of a cute girl is Megiddo-san, my thoughts would just be thrown into confusion.
[By the way, why are you using that appearance this time?]
[Ahh, it's because of this dress. I bought it at Hydra Kingdom's recent Founding Festival. It incorporates the latest designs of the Hydra Kingdom while also incorporating old techniques from Symphonia and Archlesia, so I instantly liked it at first sight. Well, the balance of combining multiple techniques seems to be a bit experimental, giving it a slightly scattered impression, but I liked that daring style! So, since I bought it with the intention of wearing it, this appearance seemed to fit this dress the best.]
[I- I see]
Indeed, the dress Megiddo-san is wearing now has a cute design with many frills, and it wouldn't quite match the atmosphere if it were worn by her original glamorous woman form.
Unn, I can understand the reason why but while she's talking with that form, it kinda feels like my brain is glitching out.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [An unexpected little girl Megiddo form It's true that her personality and way of speaking remain the same, and when a cute girl says that, that's kinda mind glitching]
T/N: Megiddo's gender is technically a secret to the public, with Ozma the only one who knows her original form in the War King camp, so they refer to her as them/they in public, but Kaito refers to her as her/she in his mind.
