It was late afternoon, and after a late lunch, Ad was looking for the Zeroth.
The store had sold out quickly, and was now closed and bored.
The demand for potions was higher than expected, and there was no shortage of people willing to pay a little more for them.

But ......, why would an average family buy potions?　I think a regular potion would suffice. ......

　Ad was a bit mistaken.
In the event that you have any questions regarding where by and how to use it, you can call us at the web site.
　Of course, they are a bit expensive, but they are often found in ordinary households.
　In this world, wood or charcoal is used for fire. You can get injured by chopping wood, or you can get burned by mishandling fire.
　It is not uncommon for a flowerpot to fall from the upper floor of an apartment building. There is not a day that goes by that an accident does not occur.
　However, as a reincarnated person, Ado lacked a little knowledge of such different cultures.

Now, where is Mr. Xelloss? ......

　The main street, where carriages usually come and go, is full of people, making it difficult to find a specific person.
　However, Ad is most familiar with the actions of Xellos, who has taken on the identity of a [fishy peddler]. The place to look for him is a street corner facing a narrow alleyway.
　He judged that he would not be selling dangerous goods this time, but after all, Xelloss is an [Annihilator]. He can do unexpected things without hesitation, so you have to be careful.
　He might even accidentally sell a [Gender Reassignment Pill].

There's something fishy around that narrow alleyway. ...... Oh, there he is. ......

　In front of a fashionable clothing store, several merchants are setting up store.
　It's a familiar store to Ad, just a wooden box in the corner with a sign on it.
　Xellos was showing his wares to a man.

...... This stuff's good. I'm going to have a fight tonight.
"Is it really that good?
Just take a couple of these and you'll be burning up in no time!　Your wife will be very happy. ......
I think I'm going to buy some .......　He's been cold lately.
It works fast. The moment he drinks it, he's like a beast. ......
"Mr. Zeros, ......, what are you selling?

　--He was selling a drug that was suspicious in a different way.
　I don't remember seeing him making a s*xual tonic.

Be careful not to take too much. And don't drink alcohol, okay?　It's bad for your heart.
"Oh, my God, ......, I can't drink alcohol, can I?　Be careful not to drink too much. ......
This drug is just a trigger, you know. I think love is the final word in marital relations, you know?　The best thing for a man to show is kindness.
"You're single, why are you talking about love?　I'm sure you're not the only one.

　After selling the medicine, the suspicious peddler put the coins in a leather bag and said, "Maido~" as he walked away from the customer.
　It's weird in another way.

Mr. Zeros: ....... What are you doing peddling strange drugs on a street corner?
"Oh, Mr. Ad. How's the store?
Potions and enchantments sold quickly. Don't sell anything fishy. You'll get in trouble.
Don't listen to him. It's a normal potion.　It's an ordinary medicine. It's effective against heart disease when used properly.
That's the wrong way to use it!　I think you're selling Viagra.
Depends on how you use it. It has that effect, too.
No, you're obviously selling it for that purpose. ....... I've been watching you.
Oh, I'm so embarrassed.

　It was an embarrassment without any charm.
　The appearance was suspicious, but it was even more so in the sunglasses.

I don't think so, but you don't sell gender reassignment pills, do you?　You don't sell gender reassignment pills, do you?
I don't think I'm going to sell you a rejuvenating potion. After all, it can ruin a person's life.
Oh, so you had some sense of decency.
Don't lump me in with Kanon. I'm more sensible than she is.
As for me, I can't tell the difference.

　Kanon, the Shiro Annihilator.
　One of Zeroth's companions, he is a seeker of the efficacy of magic potions.
　She puts all of her energy into improving the efficacy of the potion by 1%, and is even willing to destroy large monsters in search of materials to do so. What drives her so much is a mystery to Xelloss.
"Pharmacy is an art! and happily uses her friends for human experiments.
　The trouble is that she sells and disposes of her failures in secret.
　Well, that's where Xellos comes in. .......



Do you remember when I made the secret potion of rejuvenation and gave it to Naboo-san of the Tonkachi Workshop?
Oh, ...... that tragedy. I remember that tragedy ...... where the gangly guy turned into a baby.
I stopped. She's been very good to me. I've nailed her many times.
I planted that in your tea. ......
A week later, the stocky guy had lost all his weight. I'm sure you've heard of it.　I didn't expect the avatar to disappear in the end.
That was the first time Lost was confirmed, wasn't it .......? After that?　It was after that that they created the [zombie drink] .......
To be precise, it was [Refresh Energy Drink Prototype 93]. ....... I didn't expect to become an undead monster. ......

　I'm not sure what to say.
　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　He had no choice but to create a potion that nullified the effects of the rejuvenating potion, but the result was a demonic potion that mass produced zombies. When the victim, the player, is defeated, the avatar disappears and a new avatar must be created.
　In addition, the items owned by the avatar would also disappear, so the top players had to cry.
　Some of them played as monsters, but since they were zombies from level 1, they never grew up and had to start all over again.

Because of Kanon, many top players had to start all over again. ......
You're just as bad as Zeroth when it comes to not listening to others. It's just a little better. ......
I don't like the idea of being treated like Chemo or Ted. I'm not that bad.
I heard you had a hard time taking care of your victims. ......

　I tried to get the victim's acquaintance to forgive me by helping him acquire unbelievable equipment and skills and raise his level.
　Since then, talk of the secret potion of rejuvenation has become taboo.
　However, I was able to continue the game without my true identity being discovered because I sold them as a "suspicious peddler. Every time I saw a zombie, I felt guilty. .......

I'm not bothering people, okay?　I'm not bothering people, I'm not bothering raiders or PKers.
You're on a team, so no one knows what's going on inside. Besides, you had a hand in creating something dangerous.
I did, but it was the other four who sold it. I'm just a slightly annoying toy. Well, have you ever had to sell them to pissed off people from behind the scenes?
You're ....... That toy had a terrible curse on it, too.

　Laughing at the joke, the snot in the eye.
　No matter how much they denied it, the annihilators were still badgers in the same hole.
　The difference is whether they act out in the open or work behind the scenes, and they are not aware of it.

Well, it's a little late for that. ....... I don't know.
"It's not so bad. There are a certain number of customers, you know?　Not just customers like the ones you just mentioned.
It says on the sign, "Consultations available." How can you get customers like that?
Uh, .......
I'm at .......

　A fresh, handsome young man was standing behind the ad.
　I couldn't believe that such a shady store would get customers.

"Hey, rushy!
A sushi bar!

　The old man changes to business mode.

The sign on the ...... says something about selling products upon consultation.
Yes!　I'm in business, too. I'm in business. I prepare products for my customers, okay?　So, what kind of products are you looking for?
...... There's no such thing as a gender reassignment pill, is there?
There's ................
"There is?

　I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I'm so excited about this.
　But the young man's surprise and delight made him decide to watch without saying anything. It seemed to me that there was something serious going on.

...... Let's hear your troubles. It's a dangerous drug, and one that I hesitate to sell easily.
I understand. ...... I'll tell you.

　Until the age of ten, the young man grew up just like any other child.
　But when he entered puberty, he realized something was wrong with him.
　He fell in love with someone of the same s*x, became interested in women's clothing and accessories, and began to engage in odd behavior such as dressing up as a woman when his parents were away. Although there are men who are interested in fancy things, in his case, he was not aware that he was a man.
　On the contrary, he became disgusted with the male body itself, and eventually began to engage in self-mutilation. This seems to be a recent development.
　He could not bear the mental pain, blamed himself for making his parents cry, and still could not bear to be a man.
　He says he is still suffering from this hell.

The priest told me that I was possessed by a demon and performed an expensive exorcism on me, but it didn't fix me at all. On the contrary, the more I am oppressed, the more my mind goes .......


'...... I see, gender identity disorder?　If I didn't have the knowledge or understanding, I'd turn to religion... ....... I'd be blinded if someone told me I was possessed by a demon.
That's a heavy story. ...... The mind and body don't match. That's painful. You're treated like a lunatic because you don't have scientific knowledge. And because of our low cultural level, it's easy to believe in superstitions.
"Please!　If you have a drug that can make me a woman, please sell it to me!

　This was a very serious customer.
　Xelloss does indeed have a potion that can make the young man's wishes come true.
　But there was a big problem with this.

"You're right, he's a good customer for us. ....... But you see, it's not that simple. Do your parents understand what you're going through?
Yes,......, my mother understood immediately, but my father beat me repeatedly,.......
That's right: ....... This kind of problem is quite delicate. ....... What are you going to do, Mr. Xelloss?
I'll pay you whatever you want!　Please. ......

　This is a serious matter.
　It was heavy and a man's life was at stake.

"No, I'm not talking about money. This drug, once used, can never be reversed. Even if you ask me to put it back later, it's impossible. We'll be held responsible.
"Mr. Xelloss, I believe you also have a short term gender reassignment potion?　How about we let him try it out, and when his mind is stable, he can become a woman for real?
I'm not a doctor. I'm not a doctor, can I do it on my own?　I don't think I can be sued. ......
I'll write it down!　If I can be relieved of this suffering, I will. ......

　You can sell gender reassignment pills here.
　But I don't think that will end this problem.
　After all, she said, "My father beat me many times. His father does not understand him completely.
　He even asked for an exorcism. He does not want to understand the suffering of the young man.

I think we should go to his house and talk to his parents. It's not something I can decide on my own. It's a family matter.
It's a family matter." ....... I just think it's going to be rough.

　Xelloss and Ad were in agreement.
　The problem was that in order to use the feminine transformation potion, they would have to talk to his parents. I have a feeling they're going to beat him up for sure.

"You don't have to do that, all you have to do is make me a woman. ......
"No, it's not that simple. Your father probably wants you to be a man at least. You seem to think this problem is simple.
It's possible. It's possible that he sees his son looking at women's clothing and cute accessories and decides that he's 'soft! Maybe he sees his son looking at women's clothing and pretty knickknacks and decides he's 'soft!
And then he treats him like he's possessed by a demon. He's a stubborn man who thinks he's right.
It's true that my father was able to set up his own business with only a handful of men, so I think it's highly possible.
I think it's highly possible.　Well, it's possible that he's not the kind of person you can convince with words. ......
I'll leave the house then. I'm at my wits end. ...... I'd rather die than stay in a man's body.

　It was a very serious injury.
　I pity you that you are mentally trapped and denied hope even when you finally see it.
　Moreover, the young man was prepared to die in earnest.

I don't have a choice. I'll try to persuade him too. ....... I'm involved.
I'll pass. I'm no good to you, and I don't want any trouble.
Ad, you're heartless. ....... You could've tried to convince me to go with you.
No!　If I go with Mr. Xelloss, I'm sure to get into trouble. I'm going to take a stroll through the city and buy some souvenirs for Yui.
"d*mn you ...... rear!　I hope you explode. ....... You should know that that line is a death flag!
Don't say that in front of her!

　The old man can't hide his ugly jealousy from Ad, who shows his happiness there and then. Rather, he spits out his malice openly. He is a person who is honest to himself to any extent.


　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it," he said, waving his hand as he disappeared into the crowd.

...... So I'll try to convince you and your father. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
Are you sure you want to do this ......?　My father is a very emotional man. ......
"Hahaha, it would be nice if you could sue him with violence instead of conversation. It's self-defense, so don't be shy.
He's more belligerent than I thought!

　I'll try to persuade him, but if he tries to use violence, I'll fight back.
　If the man is violent instead of communicative, he seems to judge that he does not want to solve the problem by talking. I pity the father of the young man who does not know anything.
　Xelloss was relentless, even though he wanted to get involved in his family's problems without permission.

So, let's go to ......, you didn't tell me your name.
My name is Cristian. Please help me convince my father.

　And so Xellos went to Cristian's house.


　I'll be there.


　Christiane's family home was a general store located off the main road.
　It is a small business that deals in various small items, tableware, and rarely furniture from various places. Although it was a small store compared to the Solistea Chamber of Commerce, in the first place, to open a store in this other world, you had to have a good business talent.
　In that sense, Christiane's father had talent.
　Such a merchant, a middle-aged man, was currently sitting with his arms crossed in front of Xelloss and the others.
　A woman who appeared to be his mother was also sitting beside him, but she did not interrupt him and was silently watching us. The family seems to be a male-dominated one.

"And?　Can this shady guy solve your problem?
"Yes, he can. He has a potion made at the Istor Academy of Magic that will solve my problems if I drink it.
You mean a potion that can cure your mental illness?　What do you mean?　That stinky merchant over there.
Well, it'll solve your problem. Apparently, your son is suffering from a congenital disease, and if things continue as they are now, things are going to take a turn for the worse in the near future. I heard that he has even started to harm himself. This is a dangerous sign.
How do you know it's a congenital disease? How can a peddler know that?
That's because I'm a mage. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get the elixir.

　Xelloss speaks with a flippant attitude and no sense of urgency.
　I can't help but distrust Xellos' attitude.

So, what are the effects of the potion?
"To tell you the truth, it changes your gender. A man's body becomes a woman's body.
Don't be ridiculous. Cristian is my heir!　You want me to make my son a woman?
"It can't be helped, can it?　I'm sure you're aware of that.　Normally, the balance between the body and the mind would naturally change during the process of growth, but in his case, the discomfort became stronger and stronger. He can't stand the way he looks now.
"That's absurd!　You were born a man, but your heart is a woman?　I've never heard of such a disease!

　A feeling of discomfort in the mind and body. Christiane's father was in denial about the fact that it was turning into disgust as she grew up.
　Gender identity disorder is an inborn disorder that has existed for a long time, but this can only be said because medical technology has developed over time, and psychology and physiology have been established.
　However, medical knowledge in this other world is at the level of the Middle Ages. For those who don't understand it, they would think I'm crazy.

Because it's a rare disease, people who don't know about it would just think he's crazy and wouldn't have a problem with it. But there are more people with the same disease as him than you think.
"Hmph!　But there are a lot of people with the same disease as him.　Just like that fake exorcist!
No, it's just a useless potion that I'm trying to put to good use, isn't it?
That's bullshit!
I'm quite serious. In your son's case, the problem is that his mind is female, but his body is male, and I think he will be more stable if he is feminized. You can try taking a short term gender changer to see how it goes, and then have him become a full-fledged woman.

　The old man speaks in a friendly tone, but the father is getting more and more excited. As for Xelloss, he could not help but understand his father's feelings.
　He is the only boy who can succeed him. Of course, as a parent, he is a lovely child, but if he were suddenly told that his son would become his daughter, he would be overwhelmed.
　If you have a son, and when he finally comes home after being away for a few years, he suddenly says, "Dad, I'm ...... going to become a woman tomorrow," you would have a hard time. You would be angry.


　The only salvation is not a s*x change operation, but a full feminization with a magic potion. I can get married and have children, but I'm a little worried about what the world will think.

Get out, you're not worth talking to!
"You're the one who's not talking. You are the one who can't talk.
　There is no way you can understand the suffering if you are not a part of it. And yet, they deny it with their own values and impose their opinions on you. Moreover, they do not take any responsibility when they are wrong. You can leave if you want.　But what are you going to do if the worst happens?
What are you trying to say, ......?
If you're not sure what you want to do, you can always try to find a way to do it. That's what I'm talking about. All you do is deny, but you don't actually offer any solutions. You are trying to ignore the suffering of the person in question and simply say, "It's just your imagination. They don't even try to understand how serious it is.
"Well, I'm not wrong!
It's not for you to decide, it's for your suffering son. You're just trying to force your values into his head.
　As I have said many times, this is not your problem, but your son's problem. There is no room for your will to enter into it. In addition, you don't know if it's right or wrong until you try it. ......
Ugu......

　From the father's point of view, he is his precious son.
　It is not normal for a father to make his son take an unknown drug and even feminize him. From the standpoint of a parent, it is understandable that he would be negative.
　But the one who is actually suffering is Cristian, and you don't know how much he is suffering. You can't possibly understand. I was also a little aware of the fact that I was speaking so simply.
　He was also a little aware of the fact that he was saying it so easily, and yet he couldn't say anything when the smelly man in front of him pointed it out.

"...... you, let's give it a try.
What are you talking about, ......?
"It's Christiane who's actually suffering. I can't bear to see her suffer any longer. ....... If there is a way to save him, we should try it.

　The father looked surprised when his wife, who had remained silent until now, interrupted the conversation.
　To him, his wife was the beloved woman who had always stood by him and supported him. Moreover, he had never shown any sign of defiance in this way before.
　Perhaps he had seen his child hurting himself and wanted to make her comfortable somehow.
　But he didn't know how to do that.

Chris has found a way to save himself. Don't you think it would be better for parents to just sit back and watch?　Even the exorcism didn't help. ......
I'm not sure what to do. But if this doesn't work, I'm going to sue you!
Hey, hey ....... It looks like we can try it, right?
Oh, thanks ....... Dad, Mom. ......

　Christiane looked very happy to have a chance.
　Next to him, the old man took out a short time female transformation drug from his inventory. There is a problem with giving her a woman transforming drug right away, so you need to take your time and see what happens.

"Just try taking the short-time feminine transformation medicine for the time being. Be aware that this medicine will cause you extreme pain when it starts to take effect and when the effect wears off.
"Gee, intense pain ......?
The internal organs and skeletal structure of men and women are different. When your body is rebuilt, you will feel a lot of pain. I've prepared a type that lasts about half a day.
Isn't there any medicine that lasts for several days?
"You can take the longer-lasting potion before it wears off. You just need to drink the undiluted liquid that will eventually make you completely feminized.
"Okay, I understand. ......

　Christiane took the potion and disappeared into the back of the room with her mother.
　The only two people left were Xelloss and his stubborn father.
　It's very awkward.

The problem is that I don't understand what's going on. The problem is that you're stubborn about a development that you don't understand. ......".

　I turn my thoughts in another direction to distract myself, but this indescribable silence is so heavy that it makes me hesitate to have a conversation.
　But there was no topic that could spark a conversation, so I had to let it happen.

"Aaaaahhhh!
Chris, Chris!　Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, are you okay?　Oh, ...... God!

　Soon, he heard Christian's screams and his mother's distraught voice. Hearing her voice, Xellos muttered, "It's happening .......
　The physical pain that assaulted him was well understood by the old man as he had experienced it.

I'm sure you'll be fine.　You're in tremendous pain, aren't you?
"That pain ...... lasts for about ten minutes. To be honest, it's a hell of a pain. Well, it's only natural, since the body is changing. Without pain, there is no result.


"You've got to be kidding me!　Christiane!
Hey, hey, hey, calm down. If you go to him now, there's nothing you can do.
Get off me!　That's my child. You have no right to ......

　I waited for the screaming to stop, even as I held the screaming father in place.
　They waited for the screams to stop, holding the screaming father in place for what seemed like an inordinate amount of time.
　Mainly the time it took for the child to suffer and for them to subdue him. .......

...... It's under control, isn't it?
Cristian!

　Christiane!" The father ran in a panic.
　The father's experience of time is so slow that the corridors of the house he has always walked seem to stretch on for miles, and the sensation of reaching his child is frustrating.
　Every step he takes seems to be in slow motion.
　The short but long period of time comes to an end, and he finally arrives at his son's room.
　He opens the door with a mighty thud.

"What?

　What the father saw was Cristian crying with joy when he saw his feminized body in the mirror.
　In other words, he was naked in front of the mirror, but his transformed son was beautiful.

"Oh, ...... God, ....... I'm, I'm finally ......
Chris ...... is beautiful. You've finally regained your true self.
"Mom, ......, I...
You don't have to say anything. You can be a woman now and live your life with dignity.

　A touching conversation between mother and daughter.
　Seeing this, the father froze, unable to move.

"By the way... you?
"Nuh?
"How long do I have to stare at you?　How long are you going to stare at me, my child?
"No, no, ...... I'm worried...
No ...... questions.
Wait, talk to me. ...... Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

　The father was defeated by the hand of his wife.
　The father was defeated by the hand of his wife, who continued to beat him mercilessly with fists precisely aimed at the vital points.
　Witnessing the horrific scene, the old man muttered, "It's perfect.
　It seems that "mother is strong" in any world.


　Thank you!


Thank you very much!　Now ...... I can really live as a woman!
"No, no, no. This is a business. You don't have to thank me.

　At dusk, the man who succeeded in filling the gap in his heart was seen off by his entire family.
　His father was covered in bandages, but to be honest, he didn't care.
　This is because it is a common practice for lucky charms to be defeated.

"...... Hey, merchant.
What can I do for you?
...... daughter is also a good idea. Just in case, I'll thank you for your help. Thank you.
"This father, when my child became a woman, he moaned!

　The father's cheeks flushed.
　The father's cheeks are stained. Well, I can't say I don't understand how he feels, since a nice young man has been transformed into a beautiful woman.
　However, the sight of the old man with his cheeks dyed in embarrassment was quite unsettling.

I was just doing business, you know. You don't need to thank me. If we have a chance, we may meet again. Well, that's it for now. ...... Goodbye~

　Xelloss leaves without looking back, just waving.
　He took out a cigarette and lit it, in a good mood, thinking he had done a good job.
　Today's cigarette was exceptionally good.
　But he didn't realize at the time that there was a pair of eyes watching him.

"I found ....... Satoshi!

　Yes, it was his own sister, Reimi, also known as Sharanra.
　When she happened to see her brother on the street, she chased after Xelloss to avoid being noticed.
　However, she didn't notice the eyes staring at her, as if they were brother and sister.

"I found ....... Sharla.

　It was Zavon, who had lost a lot of weight and had changed his appearance.
　He had been looking for Sharanra for a long time and happened to find her in the city, but his eyes had a dangerous glint in them.
He also begins to follow Sharanra.


　To the casual observer, it was a rather silly sight.
