The match with the Tart begins.
　He's not your usual timid Tart.
　I was right to feel that way.
　It's different in terms of tactics.
　When Tart is against me, he first looks at what's going on. And yet, he suddenly unleashes an all-out one-handed thrust from a full-throttle step.
　It's the fastest and most opportunistic strike. She is trying to forcefully take the initiative.

It's an effective attack from a pause that I, using a sword as a weapon, can't attack in any way.

'You're fast.'

The speed increase in [Beastification] was expected.
　With the speed exceeding that expectation, I almost got it suddenly.
　........Strangely enough, even though you've added to the power of [Beastification] even more with the state of improved physical ability, you're making full use of Tart's skill.
　It's like a lie that it was awkward in the sense that I was watching the practice earlier.

He barely slips a thrusting thrust with his sword, but quickly pulls back and switches to a continuous thrust.
　Good pause. Out of the reach of the sword, at a distance where he can attack one way or the other, he takes advantage of the spear.
　And it's fast ... and heavy.
　This is such a continuous thrust, but it's not a hand strike, and he's hip to each strike.
　If it was a hand strike, it would pop off and create an opening and close the distance at once, but with this much weight and speed, that's not possible.

He tries to close the distance while judging the spear, but as much as we have closed in, he drops back.
　It's a cool, correct move.
　I tried to wait for him to catch his breath, but his strength has been strengthened. I'm afraid I'm going to be the one who's going to be the first to go down.

My hands are getting numb. I can't take it any more. Defeat was slowly approaching.

'Today's tart is different!

But I'm not going to lose.
　If I can't close the distance, I'm going to back off.
　I jumped backwards as hard as I could.
　I couldn't even reach the spear. It was time to start over. I could handle the numbness in my hands and the slurred breathing.
　The tart stiffened for a moment.
　In a battle between spear and sword, it is important for the sword side to know how to close the gap between them.
　That being the case, it was unexpected that I dared to keep my distance.
　However, that hesitation is also instantaneous, and as a matter of course, he closes the widened pause with a rushing thrust that he uses to accelerate.
　........Hmmm, calm and efficient but monotonous, it's a fool's errand to take exactly the same strategy against me.

This will need to be corrected.
　I'm stepping in as hard as I can, along with the tart stepping in for the rush thrust.

'Nah,'

Tart is unnerved.
　Tart's rushing thrusts thrust the spear out while stepping in to generate power.
　However, if he is able to close the distance like this, the distance he can thrust the spear out enough will be crushed and the power will be drastically reduced.
　Well, even so, I haven't been able to crush the distance enough to be able to bring it into sword room.

However, I wasn't aiming for that from the beginning.
　This one not only stepped in, but also a rushing thrust.
　I can't reach the tart, and my aim is a spear that became a half-hearted blow.
　The tip of the spear and the tip of the sword collide.

And the spear shattered.
　Originally, the sword is stronger in rigidity due to its shortness.
　And moreover, the tart's thrusts were crushed in time and halfway through, this is what would happen if they collided with each other.
　In addition, this is the difference between Tart, who was upset to have his weapon destroyed, and me, who was planning to destroy it from the beginning.
　I take advantage of Tart's time of stiffness and take a step forward, super cross-range, and a short uppercut with my left.
　This one is a few steps faster than pulling the sword back.
　He shook his chin and his consciousness should have been reaped.
　But it was light in hand.

'No way.'

Chuckles. The moment his fist caught his chin, Tart turned his head away from himself. That weakened the impact and shifted the strike further, preventing him from getting a concussion.
　Tart wasn't able to react at all. It was a blow that was completely out of bounds and inevitable. It should have been, but this was prevented by the beast's instincts, a reflex due to the sixth sense.

How could it be strengthened to that extent by [Beastification].
　The eyes of the slumping Tart felt as if they lit up, and in the next moment there was a dull impact and his body bent into a splayed shape.
　Tart's knee had been slammed into his stomach.

'Kahaha!'

Then the chase comes. In this state, I can't move and fall with a dull thud.
　Then Tart gets on his horse and holds down my shoulders.

"Fufu, fufu.

Tart looks down at me, breathing hard.
　His expression is that of a ravenous beast.

The impression of the fox ears that looked so cute has changed drastically and he looks like a real predator.

'I lost. I didn't expect the tart to take one from me. Get out of my way.

Tart could have killed me with a blow to the throat instead of putting his hand on my shoulder and holding me down.
　In other words, Tart won this match.
　At last, I've lost. I'm still naive, too. As soon as I threw a short uppercut, I knew I had won.
　That gave me a knee.

........Maybe I was proud of myself somewhere. I need to sharpen it up again. It's an assassin's fault to feel like it's over without making sure the other person is dead.

"Dear Mr. Rogue.

The game is over, but the tart won't move out of the way.
　On the contrary, the excitement continues and the force applied to his shoulders grows rather strong.
　Is it the fighting instinct of the beast, or is it something else? It must be an instinct, but this is something more gnarly.

As I was thinking about this, my clothes were torn off.
　Great, these clothes are armor spun with threads of magical power woven into them.

The tart leans over and rubs his whole body against it.
　His tail was wagging and his tail was wagging, occasionally touching his thigh area and tickling him.
　It's a cute gesture, but the tremendous force makes it impossible to move at all.

I thought the fox-type [Beastification] was specialized in leg strength, but her arm strength has also been firmly strengthened and seems to surpass my muscle strength.

''Hahaha, Lug-sama!''

I'm incredibly hot.
　Plus, the smell of that dizzying brain smell is driving me crazy.
　I finally understood.

The hot something in the tart's eyes is not a hunting instinct, it's just that I'm in heat.
　........So, it seems that I'm the prey for Tart right now, and I'm in the middle of being attacked.

Now, what's going on?
　I looked to the side and saw eyes with Dia.
　She's staring at us.
　As expected, it's bad for a man to be attacked by another woman in front of his girlfriend.

Even for Tart, it wouldn't be pleasant for him to have his first experience with something that was a reverse rape in the daytime outside.
　I just kind of get it. If he resisted here, he'd be treated badly by Tart, who had lost all reason.
　I'll hurt him until he can't move, and then I'll take it slowly. That's what I'm thinking about.

........It can't be helped, shall I also use 【Beastification】?

If it's that one, I can beat the [Beastified] tart with my muscle power and push it away.
　........If possible, I don't want to use it in many ways, but I can't say that.
　In the meantime, the tart is squirming and trying to move on from the stage of rubbing his body against it.
　It's time to get to the bad chastity stage. Let's hurry.
　But.....

Oh, oh, oh, oh, my God, I'm sorry!　Oh, Mr. Rogue, no, I didn't mean it!　Well, um, well, you know.

The moment Tart's fox ears and fox tail disappeared, he returned from his beastly lustful eyes to his usual eyes, turning so red that he was almost smoking, and covering his face with his hands.

'Well, what the hell, you need to get down there and fix your clothes first.
'Hi, hi!'

The tart that had been riding a horse in a haphazard manner scrambled to dismount, revealing an even more shameful appearance.
　Yes, it's the same old tart.
　I'm sorry," he said, hurriedly fixing his clothes and then bowing his head as hard as he could.

I'm sorry, Lug-sama, I just turned red in front of my eyes and then I realized I was doing that.
I know. That's the downside of [bestiality].

I don't believe that Tart has a desire to reverse rape.

'Ugh, I don't even use this kind of power anymore,'
Maybe you had a hunch that this was what was going to happen, that you didn't like it at first?

I thought it was because me and Diah called her cute and adorable.

"Shit, when I was looking at Rougu-sama for the first time, I got a weird feeling when I saw that [beastification], so...
Yeah. But with a little training, I should be able to reason with them. You may not remember, but the Tart beat me. It would be a shame if you didn't master that kind of power.

The [Beastification] tart was strong.
　Improved physical ability, wild intuition. Not only that, but the fact that he had no hesitation led to his strength.
　Tart was too kind, too cowardly, his hesitation that came from caring for his opponent and his lack of confidence was a hindrance.
　That's what [Beastification] gets rid of.

''I'll do my best. But if I'm about to do something weird, please stop me then.
I promise.

This was a painful lesson for me.
　I still have a lot of work to do.
　Then Dia comes to us.

What is it, Lug? I didn't see you put up much of a fight. Did you want the Tart to get to you?　I like that kind of thing. Hmm.

I thought she was angry, but from her expression and gestures, the main ingredient is that she wants to tease me, but a little bit of jealousy.

'It would have been dangerous to stimulate him poorly in that state. That's all.
"Yeah, I see. I get it. But I'll accept the rogue's proclivities, whatever they may be.
You don't believe that.
'I don't care that you oddly liked the tart's fox ears and fuzzy tail.

Or that.
　You're right, fox ear tart is cute. So much so that I wish I could get a fluffy tail pillow.
　However, the fluffy tail pillow is dangerous. Let's wait for Tart to master his abilities.

◇

And then a week passed.
　By that time, both Tart and Dia were getting better at using their new abilities, and the appraisal paper had been arranged and would arrive in five days.
　And..........

''It's finally here.''

It seems that something that looks like a demon tribe has been found in the northern territory.
　I was asked to be sent as a holy knight.
　I'm ready to fight demons.
　Now, let's see how far this magic of killing demons works.
　There is a great significance to succeeding in this.
　That is, in order to save this world without killing Epona, if other than the brave men, those who can kill the demon tribe and the demon king appear one after another, the burden on the brave men will be lightened and the possibility of Epona turning into a disaster will be drastically reduced.
　I want them to succeed, safely.
　Once again, I think so.
